Title: How do I send varying ammounts of BTC to a list of addresses in 1 transaction?
Post by: Nathan047 on October 18, 2017, 04:54:26 PM
In light of the high transaction fees (albeit much better then before however) I was going to try to group some transactions together. Then it struck me that in Electrum when I chose “Pay to Many” I can list addresses, but then I still have only one box to list the amount, requiring that I pay all addresses the same amount. I must be missing something, because I am sure there is a way to send varying amounts of BTC to a list of addresses and include it all in one transaction while using Electrum.

This is an interesting topic, I have been searching for solution to this but couldn't find any maybe this topic will provide solutions. Perhaps, I am very sure there must be solution to that because exchanges are doing it.

Uhm quite, easy just use sendmany rpc call

Code:
sendmany "" '{"address1":0.1, "address2":0.2}'
From bitcoin core wallet Help -> Debug -> Console

EDIT just caught that you're using Electrum, it's even easier. Put each address in its own line and append the amount next to a comma

It is a unit of bitcoin.
1BTC = 1 Bitcoin
1mBTC = 0.001 Bitcoin
1uBTC = 0.001mBTC

You'll want to click "tools" and "pay-to-many".
And you want to insert the transactions in this format
Code:
"1Address1", 0.1
"1Address2", 0.2
"1Address3", 0.1375

It's good to find out what unit you're sending the coins in. It should tell you in the preferences window.

Thanks Gary, that’s solved the problem for me.

I knew that there had to be some way to do this in Electrum, I guess I just missed that.

I think if you are using electrum and if you click tools> and click pay to many electrum will popup how to multiple send for different addresses and the amount you wanted to send for every address..
You are not just reading it and check electrum had this option for a long time and there are lots of people using it mostly for campaign manager..
Anyway the image above is more easy than send script in console..

The same fee.

It's one transaction. It can't be broken down and have different fees as the transaction has to be confirmed completely.

Thanks again Gary and Jack. My question has been answered and I am going to lock this thread momentary because my question has been answered and if I don’t lock it this will just become one of those threads that people will respond in solely to boost their post count or get signature campaign credits.

Yes, I know I am often part of a signature campaign, but I post meaningful posts and then on and off join a sig campaign to get compensated for the posts I would be posting regardless of my involvement in a campaign. I’m referring to the people who will just reply randomly to threads like this that have already been answered for the sole purpose of inflating their post count.
