There is a warning message that says "spending bitcoins may not be possible" which leaves the user unsure whether spending bitcoins will be possible or not. It would be better if it was clear whether the user can or cannot spend bitcoins and what this is dependent upon.

I think this boils down to two cases:
- Spending of bitcoins which are not yet received is not possible right now. -> Wait until sync passes the block which includes your transaction in which you receive those coins.
- Spending of bitcoins which are already spent is impossible. -> Wait until sync passes the block which includes your transaction in which you spent those coins.
