i have no idea but it sent the amount that i wanted to send it wasnt short any fees
So hopefully what happened is that you sent the block, and it took the .001 transaction fee out of the block being sent. To make sure your other blocks are still aging, you can get into the "inputs" area. Expand the arrow and you will see all of your blocks and their number of confirmations. Hopefully none of your blocks were reset from a fee being taken out of it, and you would know if it was reset because the confirmations would be low.
To avoid these types of scenarios, I keep a wallet for transactions and a wallet for staking coins.
now it is showing my entire balance as one block
now for next time do i need to go to input and check the blocks or leave it unchecked and it will do it automatically?
i also have around 40k hbn do i need to split them in small amount to stake or will it stake at 40k?
You should get used to using coin control. Or the wallet will choose the coins for you. Sometimes it will be ok, other times it may not. Having 1 huge block defeats the purpose of coin control. Better to have a few medium blocks some some can be sent, and others kept for stake.
Your coins will stake fine at 40K. What will happen is that when the stake occurs. you will see a balance of ~40800 HBN. But if you look at your coins in coin control you will see 2 new blocks of ~20400 HBN.
You shouldn't need to move those coins because these are still big chunks of coins. But over time, you will get smaller and smaller blocks. That's when your coin control will come handy.
What I do, since I've had multiple transactions of of 100-200 HBN that have staked over time, is I combine the results and send them to a new address into a bigger block.
after 2 months, a 100 HBN initial transaction will look like 64 transactions of about 1.5 HBN (plus the 2%). I like to regroup them in larger blocks so the stake yields bigger chunks of the 2% return.
I also use the change address in that process.
Since I want blocks of 1000 HBN I use the change address for the overage of transactions.
I select the coins with coin control that have lowest confirmations that will bring me just over 1000 HBN. let's say I have 1003.764 HBN by selecting about 50 smaller blocks. The 3.764 HBN that I have there, I don't want it in my new block. So I use the change address to regroup all those overage and contain the smaller amounts. The transaction fee will be taken from that overage also, witch is fine, plus if I ever need to fill a gap in a subsequent transaction, I can alway go fishing in that change address since there is only small amounts in there, so I don't really care about destroying the age of the coins and losing 2% on those, even if they are mature for stake.
I keep my more "important" block safe and good for stake.
I don't really think it's a must to have round number blocks. I think that if you regroup your 1003.764 HBN into 1 block it's just as fine. But I like it when I see round amounts in my wallets. that's just me
But the important thing here is that it's good practice to keep your wallet "clean" and organized. Check your coins with coin control maybe every 2-3 months and send all the small dust coins into a bigger chunk into a new wallet. If I remember reading in an earlier thread, with thousands of transactions in 1 wallet, the client starts to be longer to load. So keeping it clean helps in that matter also.
