Post by: chegmarco on May 02, 2017, 10:20:02 AM
Hello.
  I asked a question yesterday which remained in a good answer.
By the way, I would like to know exactly if it is possible to transfer about 5000 BTC or 10000 BTC in a single transaction ?

Thank you.

There is no limit in sending bitcoin. We can do various kinds of transactions in accordance with our wishes.
Bitcoin gives you something like this. We are free to do anything, compare try with other media that have many limitations.

These who are saying that there are no limit for amount of bitcoins that you can send, is lying.
You can't send more than ~ 16 305 238 bitcoins (total amount of bitcoins mined until now). You can send only less than that amount, because you would need to pay huge fee. Offcourse, this is only theorical things.
Offcourse it's posdible to send 5000 or 10000 bitcoins in single transaction. But I'm sute that fee for such transaction would be huge.

This is the only correct answer that i see. ;D
Interesting question,i`ve never thought about this before.
There are no limitations in the blockchain,but i`m sure that all the exchange platforms will create more and more transaction limits in the future.

haha, that is actually not technically correct :)

first of all is the fact that we can never mine all the 21 million coins because reward is halved so it will never actually reach zero. apparently it goes to zero after block 6930000. thanks BurtW

secondly is taking all the lost coins into consideration, a lot are burned by being sent to burn addresses, a lot are lost because someone forgot the private keys.

third if we ignore all the second step, there is 1 satoshi from missing from all the mining rewards thanks to a miner (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2759) who intentionally got underpaid 1 satoshi less as an honor to satoshi missing. so even if all the coins are mined the total number will be 21 million minus 1 satoshi.

But you still forgot something important. We can't send the max amount because there will no transaction fee will left for the transaction. Hahaha. But honeslty speaking. There is no such maximum amount for BTC to send right now because it is impossible to gather all BTC in one wallet.

Not true.

The mining reward does go to zero after is it one satoshi per block.

This will happen in about the year 2140.

All this bit ion transactions are complicated thing. Last week it needed 5 days to send 1 bitcoin! I can imagine how many days will be needed to transfer such big money you are talking about.
This is complicated because bitcoin is digital currency and everything depends from the site and from how many bitcoins they have in the moment.

The answer is yes, it has been done many times.  The fee depends on the size of the transaction in bytes, not the amount of value being sent.  Therefore, if the transaction is a small number of byte (from a single address to a new single address) the transaction fee would be minimal.

This is what I believe that there is no limit, if you have that kind of bitcoin now. But for me, I will divide it to smaller btc so that whenever there is a problem I still have bitcoins left I am afraid because of that double spend issues I read here ;)

I know you will probably not be back because you are a damn signature spammer but what the heck are you talking about?  What double spend issue?  Where did you read it?  I think you are full of shit.

I think there is no limit in transferring bitcoin or doing any kind of transaction in just one sending process because it is all about fees, if you can afford the fees that the transaction cost then you can send how much as you can in just single transaction.

Should have read the previous posts before posting a reply and as explained by Burt, it is not about the total amount which you are sending, its about the size of transaction in bytes. So many can afford it. Without fees it will take a lot of time as the delay is getting more and more nowadays.

Correct answer! But what about fees?


Title: Re: How much maximum BTC can be sent in a single transaction?
Post by: Reid on May 02, 2017, 03:33:02 PM
It is possible like they said.
But for that amount you might get a lot of problems.
First is the fee which is going to be a lot.
Hacks. Where will you be sending it? Have you gathered all the information to make it a safe transaction?
You might want to mix it and that is another payment.
Or you could just send it little by little. With the value of bitcoin now many would want to get a hold of that amount of bitcoin.

Not correct. BitcoinHodler already pointed out that there's also other coins that are being sent to a burn address. Also there's the genesis block where the reward is unspendable.

If you have that such amount in your wallet I think you can, if you use an online wallet there's a limit. The highest bitcoin transaction I know was about half a million. Txid (https://blockchain.info/tx/29a3efd3ef04f9153d47a990bd7b048a4b2d213daaa5fb8ed670fb85f13bdbcf) for proof

fees isn't correlated to how many bitcoin you send but the size of a transaction, you can send 21 millions bitcoin with the same fee as 1000

Well, that is another great advantage that we have in bitcoin, because there is totally no limit. You can send as many bitcoins as you want, but let's be honest: in nowaydays, such a big transactions, for example those above 10,000 bitcoin do not really occur usually.
Back some days ago, in 2010 for example, you could have payed for something with that amount of btc, most likely the item that was not expensive in the past.

We do not really see such a big cash flow made in one transaction, usually it is divided among more transfers to hide the place where are they going to be stored.

21 millions Bitcoin including fees... I think so haha. The question is not very important. I think it is more annoy people when you ask how much minimum btc can be sent as a fee

As long as you have BTC you can send as much as you have ;) But I wouldn't risk it to send that much (if I had them :p) because first it will take very long time to confirm the translation, and second you have to be 100% sure that you send them in the right place ( wallet/ payment).


Title: Re: How much maximum BTC can be sent in a single transaction?
Post by: bamboylee on May 02, 2017, 04:35:17 PM
I think the limit will always be how much bitcoin your wallet contains minus the fee.

If you have that such amount in your wallet I think you can, if you use an online wallet there's a limit. The highest bitcoin transaction I know was about half a million. Txid (https://blockchain.info/tx/29a3efd3ef04f9153d47a990bd7b048a4b2d213daaa5fb8ed670fb85f13bdbcf) for proof

How convenient that transaction was, sending half million bitcoin without fees and was confirmed almost instantly. How I wish it could still be done today.

There Might be fixed Minimum Btc to Be transferred But I dont think There is any limitation On maximum btc amount per transaction .

I think there is no fix in sending bitcoin in a single transaction, as long as you have the bitcoins and you will pay the required fees then you are good to go and you can send all your bitcoins in one bitcoin and fully receive it without worrying.

the owner of mt gox sent over 400,000 btc in a single transaction to prove he had the coins. there is no limit and a limit would be against the spirit of it. you have the right to do what you want within the protocol's rules.

You can transfer as much Bitcoin as you want in a single transaction, there are no limits on how much you can move. In theory, you could even send the entire equivalent of the coin cap through a single transaction. You'd just have to be mindful of fees that would take away from that transaction.

People move a lot all the time, it's not something that's just a hypothetical scenario anymore. It's doable, and was doable when Bitcoin first started.

Yes you can send 5000 BTC and 10000 BTC in a single transaction. There is no limit for sending bitcoin. You can send unlimited bitcoin but it take huge fees.
