Let's say you're buying something online with BCH. The item costs 0.01 BCH but you accidentally type 0.1 and don't notice. Is there anything to prevent accidental large transactions in Electroncash? If not, I have a couple simple suggestions.
Perhaps a simple popup that says "Hey, you're about to send a large amount of BCH. Are you sure you want to continue?".
An even better idea would an optional wallet setting that lets you set the max amount of BCH you can send. If you try to send more than the limit, it would ask you for a second password that you specifically set for large transfers. This way, if the user went on autopilot when prompted and entered their regular password, it wouldn't work and it would become obvious to the user that they made a mistake.
For example, if you tried to send 1 BCH it would say "Please enter your 2nd password for large transfers". That would give people some extra peace of mind knowing that they have an extra layer of protection in case they screw up. Of course you might not worry about this if you double or triple check, but people are not perfect, and I think this would be a nice feature.
