# Send Bitcoin

Payment vs ordinals addresses, and fees.

Open **Bitcoin** under *Other networks* on Home, then **Send**.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Recipient and amount

Enter the **Recipient** (`bc1…`, `1…` or `3…`) and the amount. **Spendable** is your balance minus anything locked in ordinals.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Ordinals stay safe

Your account has two addresses: **Payment (bc1q)** and **Ordinals (bc1p)**. Coins on the Ordinals address are *never auto-spent*: the wallet says *+ X BTC locked in N ordinals UTXO(s)*. Inscriptions are listed under the Ordinals address.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Fee and signature

Pick a fee rate, review, then the QR loop. The Vault shows the full PSBT: inputs, outputs (**MINE** / **change** / **external**) and the fee.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc.lockerprotocol.com/browser-extension/send/bitcoin.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
