Error 66 - Electrum doesn't send

[pfanner]

So far i tried changing the fee, checked/unchecked dynamic fees & change adresses and i tried mBtc/btc. I tried sending as much as 0.8something with no success. Any clues?

What version of Electrum are you using?
Do you want to send 0.8 btc or mbtc?
How many input addresses does your transaction have?

Hi
Sorry to join in on this thread but I am having a similar issue.

I am using Electrum 2.5.4 and until last week it was sending transactions without any issues.  The past few days however I keep getting an error screen also with the following message in part:
error: The transaction was rejected by the network rules.(66: insufficient priority)

I first took this to mean that the value of what I was trying to send was too low, but now I am still getting the same error with much larger amounts (BTC not mbtc). 

I used to have Dynamic fees selected which was only running at about 0.00015BTC/kb, but even turning that off and going to 0.0005BTC/kb as I have seen recommended in other places does not allow the transaction to go ahead

Thanks in advance to those that might be able to help out.

Try manually selecting a different server. I run electrumserv.noip.me and i know all priority's are default so it might be a good one to try? good luck!

Server admins can manually set min fees ext

Try manually selecting a different server.

Thanks Dan91, Manually setting the server seems to have done the trick for me, transactions are now flowing again
