Title: Can't Broadcast Transaction
Post by: Ilsk on September 20, 2014, 11:56:31 PM
Hi, I tried to broadcast a transaction signed by the offline pc but when I click "Broadcast" this error message appear:

There was a problem sending your transaction:
error: (u'message: u'64: dust': u'code': -26)


Any idea about what has gone wrong?

Dust means a very small amount of bitcoin. Any transaction with outputs of less than 5430 satoshis will not be relayed by most nodes. So does your transaction send small amounts like that?

Yeah that was a very small amount, I wanted to test electrum with a small amount before starting using it. Thanks for the advise, now I will try with a bigger amount.
