Title: Can You Combine Two Different Transactions to Merge my mBTC?
Post by: TeetGreetNeet on March 19, 2019, 03:19:14 AM
I recently started using Electrum and stupidly received mBTC to two different requests (totally my ignorance, I thought it would all go into one shared transaction :-[). Is there is a way to merge these into one so all my BTC are in the same place and not two transactions with different monetary amounts? Thank you very much for any help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Me

yes you can.
when you spend your coins the wallet automatically spends all related outputs when they belong to one address. but if it didn't you can always enable your "Coins" tab from the view menu and then inside that tab you will see all these transaction outputs which you can manually select and right click to spent them specifically.
doing that will create a transactions with multiple different "coins" that you previously received and that way you even save up on some fee since your transaction will be smaller compared to sending them twice in two different transactions.

what you did was correct. addresses should not be reused and you should use a different address per transaction. all your coins are in the same wallet and moving them to a single address will only cost you tx fees and not bring any benefit.
