Error: Transaction Creation Failed

[Yurizhai]

Getting this error when I try to send a lot of coins.

The few google results aren't quite doing it for me, but I can see it's a somewhat common error.

How fix?

We are talking about CNC right?

I have the same problem... you need to try a lower number. Still bad.

Thanks blastbob

Any coin will do it if the number of inputs needed to add up to that much causes the transaction to be just too darn big.

For example with BBQcoin most of my "coins" are of 42 BBQ denomination due to having been mined. I can send 10,000 in one send but at some higher number it gives that error. I didn't try a whole lot of different sizes as I am well familiar with the problem so just jump down to some convenient round number size of standard spend.

With DeVCoin, where most of my "coins" are of 45,000 denomination, I have managed to do 20 million coin spends sometimes, 10 million every time I have tried, but some number above 20 million I tried once gave the error.

With coins that only mine 6 or 7 or 10 coins per block (I0COin, CoiLedCoin, etc), I cannot even send 5000 coins in one send, so use sends of 1000.

You can "fix" the problem by "consolidating" coins though.

Send a hundred sends of 1000 to an address and suddenly you have denomination-1000 coins to use instead of only the 42's or 10's or 50's or whatever the minting initially creates.
