can not send 0.02 with electrum 2.5.1 (reason 64: dust)

[altcoinhosting]

I was trying to send out 0.02 (i tripple checked the amount, it is really 0.02... I even put the price in EUR next to it, and it clearly showed i wanted to send about 6.3 euro)...

When i clicked the "send" button, and entered my password, electrum signed the transaction and tried to broadcast it... I always got the message in this screenshot:



I have already tryd to restart electrum, tryd to connect to different servers,.... i always get the same message.

Any idears? I hardly consider 0.02 (6€) a dust amount

Can you share the address or addresses with the bitcoin you're trying to send?

Dust is defined as an output below 2730satoshis so one of your outputs may be below that threshold. When you use an input, the input may be bigger than a single output and the remaining is sent as change to another address. The input could have been 0.02002729BTC, 0.02BTC going to destination and 0.00002729BTC going to change address but it's too small. That may be the problem. Try spending the entire input to make only one output or add the change into the fee/reduce the fee by a few satoshis.

I have amounts in several addresses, so i don't know which were chosen by electrum to be used as an input... I'll retry sending the 0.02, but selecting the option: "view transaction before signing", so i know which inputs it's going to use

Thanks, i didn't even think about this... This is most probably the sollution to my problem...


If the sollution from ranocingo doesn't work, i'll post the addresses, inputs and outputs, as requested...

Thanks guys

Thanks, you're right, Shorena's answer https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1208286.msg12861745#msg12861745 is about the same as what ranochigo told me... So this is probably the sollution to my problem

This is sorta a long-shot suggestion, but it doesn't seem impossible.  Perhaps you have the "units displayed" set to mBTC or uBTC?  If so, then 0.02 would be pretty small.  Maybe it's worth double-checking.
