My Electrum wallet contains 0.002 btc. I would like to transfer them back to gdax. But there's two things :
- on the gdax deposit page, it's written that the minimum deposit is 0.01 btc
Fees are
terrible high at the moment. Sites don't like small deposits, because it costs a lot to consolidate the small inputs.
- when I try to sent them, an error message appears on Electrum : "This transaction requires a higher fee or it will not pe propaged by the network"
You can set a lower fee manually, but that means your transaction will take a long time. Currently, any input lower than 0.001
BTC isn't worth sending. The required fee is
higher than that amount. If you have 0.002
BTC in your wallet, in 2 or more small inputs, the sad reality is you can't use it until the fees go down.
I just had an issue with a tx so I'll ask before doing it : Should I transfer 0.008 btc into my wallet so the minimum amount of btc will be reached ? But what about the fees ? Will it reduce my tx to less than 0.01 btc so I won't able to transfer them ?
This won't help. Suppose you add 0.008
BTC, bringing your total balance to 0.01
BTC. Now suppose the required fee is 0.004
BTC, that leaves you 0.006
BTC to send. You're better off sending the 0.008
BTC directly to somewhere else.
My advice: Keep your 0.002
BTC, but don't bother trying to use it at this current high fees.
