Title: sendmany Post by: ineededausername on October 15, 2011, 08:45:23 PM I have 2btc in a wallet and tried to do this:
$txid2 = $bitcoin->sendmany("", $payoutArray); sum of values in payoutarray is 0.6. It says: Error: Request error: Account has insufficient funds Anyone know why? Title: Re: sendmany Post by: casascius on October 15, 2011, 09:04:41 PM Sendmany cares about what "account" the BTC are in - you have passed an empty string - those 2 BTC must be in the "account" named the empty string for it to work. Try the listaccounts RPC command. There's also a move command that moves coins between accounts. This phenomenon of "accounts" is internal to the client and I don't think it represents any attribute of the bitcoins themselves as seen by the network.
I use sendmany all the time for loading batches of Casascius Physical Bitcoins.

I use sendmany all the time for loading batches of Casascius Physical Bitcoins. I see. Is there any way to just sendmany from my wallet in general in a convenient way? I couldn't care less about accounts; I want to treat my wallet as one monolithic account but bitcoind won't let me. Title: Re: sendmany Post by: ineededausername on October 15, 2011, 09:21:53 PM Update: Now I move coins to a special sendmany account before trying to sendmany but it still doesn't work. It wants to CONFIRM A TRANSACTION I SEND TO MYSELF before adding the balance.

Pass a 0 as the third argument to sendmany and it will send unconfirmed coins:Code: sendmany <fromaccount> {address:amount,...} [minconf=1] [comment]Title: Re: sendmany Post by: lucif on February 27, 2013, 08:52:07 PM Sorry for thread necromancy, but problem is actual.
I have website that may require to send great number of [possibly small] transactions. So instead of sending each payment in different transaction, I want to send them on batch basis with sendmany to do not spam network much. But I am unable to do this coz of this stupid "fromaccount" parameter - I have many accounts with incoming transactions. Why not just send from any account? Title: Re: sendmany Post by: lucif on February 27, 2013, 08:56:14 PM Add: sendmany with empty account says
{"result":null,"error":{"code":-6,"message":"Account has insufficient funds"},"id":1} (wallet balance is good enough though) EDIT: I think I got it. I either use accounts or dont use them at all. |
