For an unknown reason to me I cannot send my bitcoins to a chosen address, each time I go to do it I type in the required details and click send. It comes up to the error {u'message': u'64: dust', u'code': -26} Can someone please help me!

My guess is that you got all your BTC from faucets or other such "free" ways and it is all just "dust" (meaning you have a bunch of very low BTC "inputs" that basically can't be spent).

You are going to have to lose a fair % of your BTC in order to rescue some of it to become usable or wait for a very long time to spend that "dust".

does your wallet contain many addresses and each address has dust balance ?,
even though you could send a payment, you must pay bigger fee because your transaction contains a big data.

I haven't got any coins which I received for free, however I did only try to send 0.001 of a bitcoin to the chosen address could that be the case and I just have to send a greater amount?

You have your fee set correctly?

I assume I don't considering that each time I went to try to send coins it came up with a message saying there would be a transaction fee of 0.113 btc. I don't know how to set my fee either.

If it is suggesting a tx fee that large then *you must be trying to spend dust* so let's rewind and you tell us "how did you get your BTC" (if it wasn't faucets is it tiny mining payouts)?

I purchased my btc through local bitcoins with a cash deposit at a bank. I only decided to transfer over 0.002 btc to my electrum wallet just to see if it would work successfully.

It would be a lot easier for us to understand what's going on if you would provide the address where you currently have the bitcoins.

Are you having this issue when creating the transaction or when broadcasting it? You can enable "Show transaction before broadcast" on preferences. If you manage to create the TX post it here if you can share it. If you can't reach that point sharing the address at least would help.

A link to blockchain or anything would help to show us.

With what we know so far it sounds like a bunch of small transactions are in address.

Please be careful while providing your address with founds to other members.

The best solution is to use different addresses for different transactions.

DannyHamiltion should not ask you about your address - I know that he asked for a reason to check is your account full of dust or not, but anyway you should not share your main address. Better to keep it private.

Best regards.

there's strickly no problem to give a public adress to anybody...

I suspect that roslinpl is just angry at me for adding him to my public ignore list.

(He has sent me a few PMs about it and posted in my thread complaining about it).

There is a reason.
And it's the same reason as for using HD wallets where amount of your total founds is really hard to track by anyone because you are using  different addresses for different transactions.



Best regards.

PS.


Yes I am mad about it. You are telling people in your thread to add me and others to their ignore list. This is a trolling attempt. I don't like it indeed - you are 100% right. I am angry.
