  Unfortunately, if your digital wallet is locked, you won't be able to receive any cryptocurrency. When someone sends you cryptocurrency, the transaction is broadcasted to the network and included in the blockchain. However, since your wallet is locked, it cannot access the blockchain and therefore cannot receive the funds. The incoming transactions will not be rejected, but they will remain unconfirmed until you unlock your wallet.

  No worries! Even if your digital wallet is locked, you can still receive cryptocurrency. The incoming transactions will be stored in the blockchain until you unlock your wallet. Once you unlock your wallet, the transactions will be confirmed and the cryptocurrency will be added to your balance. Just make sure to unlock your wallet as soon as possible to access your funds.

  Yes, you can still receive cryptocurrency if your digital wallet is locked. However, the funds will not be immediately accessible until you unlock your wallet. The incoming transactions will be recorded on the blockchain, but you won't be able to see the updated balance until you unlock your wallet. Once you unlock your wallet, the funds will be available for you to use.

  When your digital wallet is locked, you won't be able to receive cryptocurrency directly. However, some wallets offer a feature called 'watch-only' mode, which allows you to monitor incoming transactions without the ability to spend the funds. This can be useful if you want to keep track of your incoming transactions while keeping your wallet locked for security reasons. Once you unlock your wallet, you will be able to access the received cryptocurrency.
