Hello,
I’m new here.
I am trying to send money to binance with electrum. When I paste the copied address and try to send I get this error code: Invalid lines found:#1 (and the address).
Please some decent help here guys.
Thanks.

I did a bit of searching and found this issue page on electrum's github repo: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/3427

If you refer to comments https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/3427#issuecomment-350651693 and https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/3427#issuecomment-352871726 it seems to relate to the users attempting to send Bitcoins to an altcoin address. Ensure that you are sending Bitcoins from electrum to a Bitcoin address on Binance. Are you sure you are already doing that and no additional characters or spaces are in the address that you've pasted into electrum while sending?

Basically you send BTC from electrum to Binance's BTC wallet address (your BTC address on Binance) and from there on exchange it for other cryptocurrencies, if that's what you're attempting to do.
