Title: "Coin control" in Electrum?
Post by: cellard on February 06, 2018, 04:54:57 PM
I have always used Bitcoin-qt (now known as Bitcoin Core) since day 1 but recently I started using Electrum to experiment with the bech32 segwit addresses and I just cannot find a clear way to control which inputs I want to use for a transaction.

I need something like this:

So I can select which addresses I want to use to send money. Where to find this in the Electrum menu?

Go to the addresses tab, hit alt+a.

Right click on the address you want to use and click spend from. It'll go to a sending window and you can then delete inputs so just 1 input goes into the transaction, or collect the rest of the coins as change. (First option is cheaper but less anonymous).

If you don't see the address, click on the drop down menu and check both "change" and "used".

^ this or:

You can also manually choose each input in the Coins tab (View -> Show Coins). Right click the input and select "Spend".
