[Ethereum] How to confirm transaction as a receiver in metamask

metamasksolidity

My question is simple
If I want to send some ether to someone in remix like

contract Sender {
  function send(address _receiver) payable {
    _receiver.send(msg.value);
  }
}

Metamask asks me as a sender to confirm the transaction and thus
simply send the amount to receiver without even asking him/her.

How can I make receiver accept the transaction ?

Best Answer

As long as the receiver is a payable address (i.e. a regular Ethereum account or a smart contract with a payable fallback function), they will automatically accept it.

Why do you think the receiver would not accept it, or what use case would there be for a receiver to reject a transaction?

MetaMask – How to Call a Payable Function and Send Ether Using MetaMask

Assume you have a function in your contract like this:

function deposit() public payable{
    // do something here
}

Now, you want to call deposit() and send some ether from your website.

On your website you have the form to input the Ether amount and a button to submit. First you get an instance of your contract:

 var thecontract = web3.eth.contract(contractABI);
 var MyContract = thecontract.at('contract_address');

Then "onclick" of the button you execute a function that contains this:

function makeDeposit(){
   var etherAmount = web3.toBigNumber($("#id_of_field_with_ether_value").val());
   var weiValue = web3.toWei(etherAmount,'ether');
   MyContract.deposit({from: web3.eth.accounts[0], gas: gasValue, value: weiValue}, function(err, res){ })
   }

Thats it.

Hope it helps.
