<p>When creating a transaction voucher on Ardor. Say alice wants to pay bob. </p>

<p>Alice logs into her own account and and puts in Bob's address and 9 ignis to send. </p>

<p>Alice also puts in her secret pass phrase and checks off the voucher checkbox. </p>

<p>Now click submit and you're given a QR code and json data. </p>

<p>So does bob just <strong>broadcast</strong> this transaction when I give him this voucher?</p>

When creating a transaction voucher on Ardor. Say alice wants to pay bob.

Alice logs into her own account and and puts in Bob's address and 9 ignis to send.

Alice also puts in her secret pass phrase and checks off the voucher checkbox.

Now click submit and you're given a QR code and json data.

So does bob just **broadcast** this transaction when I give him this voucher?
