Title: How to chose inputs? Post by: Murloc on December 15, 2017, 10:35:01 PM Hey guys. Is there any way to send only one specific coin from my electrum wallet? Just to chose the necessary input and send it somewhere taking fee only from this input. It seems like it could be done just by calculating the number of coins without the fee but I hope there should be a more simple way to do it.

Here follow the steps. First open your electrum wallet> Goto addresses tab> right click the address where bitcoin you wanted to send.> Now you are in Sending tab with different inputs as you can see the (from) box just right click what input you wanted to remove . now you can you can send if what amount of bitcoin you wanted with a single input for decreasing miners fee.. You can also just merge them and pay less fee so that in the future transaction you only have 1 single input in your bitcoin address.. Title: Re: How to chose inputs?

It's much simpler since you don't need to add multiple addresses and remove all the inputs you don't want to spend. (E.g: Imagine two addresses with 20 inputs each but you only want to spend 3 inputs...) Title: Re: How to chose inputs? Post by: Murloc on December 16, 2017, 02:19:45 AM Thanks guys, the advices are usefull. I still want to clerify something:
when I'm trying to send a specific coin the wallet adds the txid and address to the new field. I can remove sime coins (with different txid) but how how can I add new ones? The field with addresses is inactive for adding something. You can also just merge them and pay less fee so that in the future transaction you only have 1 single input in your bitcoin address.. How can I megfe them and will I get charged for it?Title: Re: How to chose inputs? Post by: TryNinja on December 16, 2017, 01:44:38 PM Thanks guys, the advices are usefull. I still want to clerify something: What do you mean? Can't you add the inputs (and therefore, the addresses) by adding the Coins you want to spent like I said above?when I'm trying to send a specific coin the wallet adds the txid and address to the new field. I can remove sime coins (with different txid) but how how can I add new ones? The field with addresses is inactive for adding something. How can I merfe them and will I get charged for it? You can consolidate several inputs in one by sending your whole balance (and inputs) in one transaction to yourself.It's something like this: Input 1 | Input 2 | Input 3 -> Output 1 Input 4 | Input 5 | Then, when you want to spend your coins, you will have one big input (the output 1 from the scheme above) instead of 5 inputs. Less inputs = lower transaction size = lower fees. Of course you will be charged for those 5 inputs. That's why some people do that when they are not in a hurry to spend their coins. So they put a low fee to save money and wait more time until the transaction gets confirmed. Then, they will have only 1 output which they can pay with a normal fee when the transaction needs to get confirmed in less time. Title: Re: How to chose inputs?

So just to clerify: To merge coins I just need to send them to my own address jsing the common "send" command, right? Title: Re: How to chose inputs? Post by: TryNinja on December 17, 2017, 11:28:13 PM When I'm trying to send coins using the "spend from" command it automaticaly adds all coins from this address (with the txid) to the output field and then this field becomes inactive. I'm unable to add new addresses there That's why I told you to use the "Coins" tab and manually select which inputs you want to spend. And not the "Spend from" command.but only can delete some inputs to this one, chosing the rigt coin to send. It seems like I should just use the other way of sending coins. Read my post above: Instead, you can go to the Coins tab (if it's not showing: View -> Show Coins) and manually add which inputs you want to spend. It's much simpler since you don't need to add multiple addresses and remove all the inputs you don't want to spend. (E.g: Imagine two addresses with 20 inputs each but you only want to spend 3 inputs...) So just to clerify: To merge coins I just need to send them to my own address jsing the common "send" command, right? Yeah. That would work.Title: Re: How to chose inputs? Post by: Murloc on December 17, 2017, 11:34:47 PM Well, I better just put a low fee and accelerate my transaction when needed without merging. It seems way more easy if the recieving side is not in a rush with coins. Anyway thanks a lot for the information. That was very isefull.
Title: Re: How to chose inputs? Post by: BitMaxz on December 18, 2017, 12:56:56 AM If you still didn't know the merging option i just wanted to clarify it with sample i made a transaction just few hours and this time you will see list of inputs included the small dust.
https://i.imgur.com/oSAbI3F.png As you can see from the image i send all inputs in single transaction in the same address to make 1 input. I always doing this because it can decrease the miners fee and only have 1 single input.. just pay low fee when merging but it takes long time to confirm so i use some service to accelerate it.. I use this just to accelerate my transaction https://www.antpool.com/user/prioritiseTransaction.htm?m=savePrioritiseTx and just wait for 1 day base on my experience and you are free to spend with less fee.. |
