Hi there and good evening. I am getting quite frustrated by this problem as I am trying to move BTC out of my wallet in order to claim my Bitcoin Cash, but just sending my funds to another wallet is giving me a headache!
So, if you check out the image below you can see what I mean, so I selected the max amount to send and have the lowest fee selected, that is all good, but the problem lies in the numbers.
So you can see at the bottom that I have 0.33745BTC, but the max amount I am able to send is 0.3172592. This in no way correlates with the sending fee of 0.0001908, which if taken off of my actual savings would leave 0.33726BTC still to be sent. At the moment the fee it shows is actually around £2 but if you look at my savings amount and the sending amount I would be losing out on around another £200 for my troubles.
It would be nice if someone could help me with this situation as literally all I want to do is transfer from one Electrum wallet to another without any ridiculous fees!!
I know for this "problem" because I also try to send max amount and empty my wallet completely.Do not use "max option" but first decide what fee you want to pay for this transaction.You have 0.33745
BTC and let's say you want to pay a fee 500 000 satoshi,so just type that amount in fee window and type amount for send 0.33245
BTC.In this way you will spend all from your wallet and it will be with 0 balance.
How much fee you will pay depends of your transaction size,number of inputs and outputs and how fast transaction you want.Maybe there is some other way to do this,but it is work for me and it is quite simply.
