Title: Funds available in my Electrum wallet, but can't pay
Post by: bcr on November 29, 2017, 12:51:27 PM
Hey all!

For over a year, I have been using Electrum on my Android phone. Usually all works smooth and well. But not today.

In one of my wallets I have 0.05854 mBTC left (all previous transfers have been confirmed) and I wanted to transfer that little amount to another Bitcoin address to consolidate. So I did the usual. I tapped 'Send', made a picture of the QR code and clicked on 'Amount'. Then the block to type in the amount shows up as usual. But, when I then tap on 'Max' the system says that I can only transfer 0.00094 mBTC!

What is going wrong here?!?! Love to get an explanation.

BTR

Got it !

It seems that the miners fee got altered in my settings from 0.05 mBTC to 0.3 mBTC after a recent app update

Yes since its just mbtc if you transfer your small amount of bitcoin from electrum to other wallet it will ask for miners fee which is really high compare before..
If you wanted to know the default fee and you don't like your transaction to be delay you should use the default fee from https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/
But you can be still manually put your own miners fee and use the accelerator service.. signup in antpool.com and make account there is a tool that you can accelerate your transaction..
