Made my first SOL transfer on devnet today.
Not a big moment by most standards. 0.001 SOL, sent to a temporary wallet I spun up just to have somewhere to send it. But watching it actually land — seeing the balance update, the transaction confirm — made something click that reading docs never quite did.
A few things I had to get right before it worked:
Generate a fresh keypair and save it locally
Use --allow-unfunded-recipient because the destination account didn't exist yet
Make sure I was pointed at devnet and not somewhere else entirely
That last one would have cost me real money in a different context. Glad I learned it here.
