Hello , i am using blockchain for years , i have 8.740$ on my account and i am just able to send 6.525$ , what is wrong please ? is that my sending limit or what can be the problem ?

It's probably because of the transaction fees. You can change the transaction fees to a lower fee if you don't mind waiting for a while before it gets confirmed.

And also, don't use Blockchain.com's wallet. couldn't count how much problems I've been reading about it lately.

Try to use regular fee although the fee is too high at the moment. If you use priority fee, the fee will always be high. Lately, blockchain.com wallet isn't that convenient as above said. You should use electrum if possible.
Please move the thread to web wallet section.

It may be due to transactions feesas mk4 said, however the difference is too big for transaction fees.

It may be due to confirmations. Is some of your balance originate from a recent transaction? You must wait a few confirmations before you are able to spend it.

I also suggest that you look for some other wallet.

I second the opinion to use another wallet to manage your funds. On a side note, if you have lots of inputs then you might want to consolidate them first. Currently the mempool is full so maybe wait a few days before you do it. Weekend is usually the best time to do that.

Afaik recent transactions or not it should not affect the fees.

its not fees problem , because when you calculate +200$ fees , it still won't hit my balance

If it's not a transaction fee problem then it could probably as above said if your balance originate from recent transaction where your balance is there but some of your transaction isn't confirmed yet that's why you can't send them. Is it really not a transaction fee issue?

Nope, there is no way to have a sending limit in blockchain, we got people sending millions of dollars every day without having this problem. This must be due to the transaction fees generated on making the transaction. But I'm wondering why the fee from that small size transaction is kinda high? with that amount it should be a dollar or less than a dollar I think, although the network is congested I don't think the fee will soar that high tho, or you made it priority transaction?

Yeah ...the possibility for it to be the transaction fee is there,according to mk4, and it might caused due to transaction confirmation,it has happened to me but after sometimes it process well

I dont have pending transactions on the account , and the fees cannot be the problem because including the fees it will be 6600$ - 6800$ , and my balance is 8700$ , so what is the problem with the rest ?

Blockchain.com wallet supports and some other altcoins. If i am not wrong, the displayed amount in your screen is the total value of all your assets. Check all balances seperately, and make sure that you are about to transfer bitcoin only. Maybe you have 6600$ - 6800$ in bitcoin and the rest is in your other balances BCH or Eth.

It can be a bug from blockchain wallet. Try to export your seed phrase from blockchain wallet and import it into another wallet like Electrum. If you really have that amount of bitcoin in your wallet, you should be able to spend it using other wallet.

Of course, this happens because of the fees. When you transfer, you have to pay some fees, which are automatically deducted from the amount. You have to use the fees button in order to reduce the fees to a minimum, it may be about $ 1, but you have to be careful not to reduce the fees too much because this will make your transaction stuck in the network due to the low fees.

i am not able to make a connection between the blockchain wallet and Electrum , i used my recovery phrase , and they didnt detect my wallet , no balance shown on Electrum

Maybe a bug? Still, with high fees, it should be covered by your current balance.

Did you check the suggestion above that it might be your total balance from different cryptos? Blockchain currently supports BTC, ETH, BCH, XLM, and USD-D.

Or maybe try to get some information on their support: https://support.blockchain.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

The transaction fee seems low than other wallets actually. It's an online wallet though that many will not try using for its safety. The monent I learned that people are not using this wallet because of its security and we have no control over our funds, I then move to another wallet.
 I have used a blockchain.com wallet in the past which I completely forgot the password. But I didn't know we can adjust its fees.

Guys what about paxful , is it good for long time usage ?

The seed phrase blockchain wallet give you is BIP39 seed and you should be able to recover your wallet using Electrum.
Perhaps, you are selecting a wrong script type when importing your wallet into Electrum. You must select "Legacy" as script type.

You are correct. This is why I said that the difference is too big to be a fee problem and is problably related to an unconfirmed transaction. He probably received a thousand USD from recent transaction, not yet confirmed, and ofc he can't spent it.




No.The only good thing for a long term usage is a hardware wallet. I recommend ledger nano or trezor.

Paxful is not a bitcoin client (if you are looking where to store btc) and i think you have a lot to learn before to understand the differences if you are thinking about Paxful as an alternative to blockchain.com wallet.
What searches had you made to come accross paxful as a suggestion? We need to know what assets you store so we can help you. Most comments above are based on self conclusions as you don't provide clear details about how/why to migrate from a platform to another (i consider blockchain.com as a platform rather than a wallet) .
For now, maybe you should focus on your funds on blockchain wallet as you still can't transfer your full balance from it.

Lol there is nothing like sending limit when you’re making use of the Blockchain wallet to send money, it’s just has to do with the fees, I guess the fees are high up to $2+ when you were about to send that money.

Maybe you should wait. On Saturday I sent $70 and the fees was just $0.09. when the network is congested you’re going to be paying higher fees for the transaction you’re about to make, no matter the amount you’re sending the fees are going to be high. My friend once paid over $3 for a transaction of $1.50 lol ;D. That’s just how it happens.

You can import  your privatekey to blokchain.com and from there chose your fees manually. Right now we have close to 50k unconfirmed transactions, that's why your wallet is asking for such fees. But if you input them manually you can choose a small number but your transaction will take a bigger time to confirm.

yeah bitcoin fees have been high lately, meaning broke people like me can't afford to use it for smaller transactions.  I was paying myself an allowance from multisig bitgo wallets and it was costing me up to $5 just to get $25 within a day.

Could you please post the screen shot of your transaction hash then we'll investigate from there. Sending and receiving cryptocurrency for me is normal, there's no high fees or delay in receiving it.
The problem might be, you using third party web apps to process your transaction. You could try, different wallet to see if the issue only exists in that specific crypto wallet.

The transaction fees of bitcoin getting higher because of demand and supply to be mined. I think if you want to make a low fees, you can adjust it in more lower fees but you have to wait also for a quite time. There is no wrong with blockchain limit because it is normal. In fact, nowaday fast transaction has 2-4 dollars decreased to the balance. What are you using wallet pal?

Yes, most beginners use the Blockchain wallet, and I also used it in the past, but I left it because its fees are high, and it is not very safe because it is a web wallet, although they have made some improvements, including the ability to adjust fees and add some other coins such as ETH, BCH.
But of course, I would advise anyone to use the Electrium Bitcoin wallet, as it is better, safer, and you can control the fees well.

This must be due to transaction fee, as long as a non'custodian wallet is concerned, you should have no sending limit. If  you mean the popular blockchain .info wallet, I have never have issues sending any amount of bitcoin.

Obviously, this happens due to the charges. At the point when you move, you need to pay a few changes, which are naturally deducted from the sum. You need to utilize the expenses button to diminish the charges to a base, it very well might be about $ 1, yet you must be mindful so as not to lessen the charges an excessive amount on the grounds that this will make your exchange stuck in the organization because of the low charges.

Make sure your wallet is safe.
If your wallet security isn't compromised.
Sometime it is just a bug or high fees. If it wasn't, maybe because the exchange have a limit order strictly followed. If there is a limit try to lower your transaction.
