Title: Any way to import private key of a MultiSig wallet?
Post by: AB de Royse777 on July 16, 2019, 06:30:38 PM
In a standard wallet if anyone wants to spend their coin from a specific address then:

They can just import the private key of that address and send all the coins from that address
or
They can go to the coin tab from their Electrum wallet and spend the coin from there.

In a MultiSig address to spend from a specific address, the only way I see is that - to go to the coin tab and spend from there but problem is how do I spend all the coins in one transaction from that address instead of picking each input one by one?

Is there any script or anything that will allow the Electrum user to spend all the coins from a specific address in one transaction?

Cheers:-)

I don't see any reason why you would be forced to pick each input one by one. Can't you just go to the Coins tab, press CTRL+A, right-click and select Spend? It seems to be working for me. Alternatively, you can select a few inputs by holding CTRL and pressing the left mouse button.

Seriously!
That easy?

OH GOSH...

I have spent hours to find a way for this and never knew this was just hiding behind pressing only the CTRL key LOL

Thanks bud. I owe you big time. I will be locking this topic in the next 24 hours just in case there are some more fools like me around LOL

Thank you very much again.

Ummmm why are you manually selecting individual "coins"? ???

Just goto the "Addresses" tab, find the address you want to spend from... right click and select... wait for it... "spend from" ;)

This will autopopulate the "send" tab will all the available inputs for the selected address:

NOTE: the CTRL-click "trick" also works on the addresses tab ;)

That's because it's one of the basic keyboard shortcut for selection that's supported by most Operating systems and apps.

@Royse777 This might come in handy:
  • CTRL+LeftClick  = Multi-select One by one.
  • SHIFT+LeftClick = Select The first one and everything in between the next selection.

You can even try SHIFT+Click with this page's texts (Highlight=selection).
And CTRL+Click on any of the icons on your desktop (Windows).

Damn it! this sounds easy however I do not have it LOL

May be because of the lower version. I am going to update my Electrum and will edit this post.

As I said bud in reply of BitCryptex that I could not believe that was so easy. Now I feel ashamed for this topic :-P

Edit:
@HCP I realize now, it has nothing to do with the older version. The reason on the above not showing the spend from option is because the address did not have any balance that I figured. I already updated my Electrum and same thing happened when I tried with an empty address but with an address that has balance, it worked.

Thank you
