I tried sending bitcoins when not fully synced but it didnt seem to broadcast? I closed bitcoin-qt and removed the transaction with zapwallettxes. What happened? i still have the bitcoins?
Yes; if you're positive that it wasn't broadcast, your bitcoins wont be moved.
But if it was successfully relayed to other nodes (
since you've mentioned "zapwallettxes"), chances that it was sent all over the network (
unconfirmed) is high.
Q: Did you saw the transaction in the history before you used "
zapwallettxes"?
You can try to check using an online bitcoin blockexplorer (
blockchain.com/
blockcypher.com) by pasting the wallet's address(es) used as inputs.
