Have 5+ BTC in one address made up of 770 small transactions. I want to move the entire contents to a new address. Armory will only allow me to send 0.1 BTC at a time (says too many small transactions if I go bigger) and the fees to transfer all 5 BTC would be outrageous. I tried importing into Electrum and when I hit the send key it just sits there and processes forever when I try to send it all. I even tried sending just 0.5 BTC from Electrum and it does the same thing.
Is there a wallet that can handle?
Would importing into an online wallet work better?
If you're still trying to use Electrum, you could try consolidating your small inputs into one of the addresses into your wallet. It's tedious but it could work - it's also what Electrum suggests. Basically, try something like: look at the 20 smallest inputs, spend that exact amount and see if that doesn't freeze (20 doesn't freeze for me but you can try more I guess). And keep doing 20 until you have spent everything from that address into your new address.
You'll end up with 39 inputs into your first new address. You can spend all that into yet another 2nd new address to consolidate it all.
No worries about setting your fees to 10.1 sats/byte. At current network, they'll still confirm within 2-3 blocks, and you can always submit it for viabtc acceleration (it's also not in demand now so always has slots).
