Hi, I'm noob, so please have mercy I tried Electrum for the very first time. Already recieved 2 transactions, so it seems to be working properly. But I can't broadcast any transactions to send BTC. Always the same error: The server returned an error when broadcasting the transaction. Consider trying to connect to a different server, or updating Electrum. scriptpubkey I changed server several times and the software is up to date (3.3.4). Please help me, I'm very desperated.

Are you by any chance trying to send a very small amount of Bitcoin? That's the first possible reason I find for this error.

What's small for you? I was trying to send 2 mBTC. The minimum is 0.0546 mBTC, so that's not the cause.

BIG SORRY!!! I was trying to send to an "adress" which is no BTC adress (starts with 9). Thought the number from "Inputs" of the transaction is the adress which sent the BTC to me... As I said: NOOB Where in Electrum I can find the adress which sent the BTC to me?

If you provide us the receiving address (the address you received the btc on) we can tell you the address(es) that sent bitcoins to it.

Where in Electrum I can find the adress which sent the BTC to me?
It should show up on your transaction history. If there'a a tx incoming to your wallet you can check the details and see the sender address. Should be bc1q8dc9vgekxf3xjrczjl4gtg2sekrxs9zxvp997h2qrdhvugunmk5sxtptwc
Is this your receiving address or the sender address? I'm double checking this as it seems knowing the sender address won't really solve your problem. Judging from your previous post, I think you have trouble finding the address that you need to send the money to? BTC address start with 1, 3, or bc1. You can read further about this on Bitcoin docs or simply Google "Bitcoin address".

An incorrect address would be caught by electrum itself and never make it to the server. The error you saw was generated by the server. The solution is to change servers and the way to do that is by right clicking on a server in the list and choosing use server. You do this on the server tab of the window that you get when you go to tools>network. Left clicking will not change servers.
To view a transaction's details right click on it on the history tab and choose to view details. Note there are no from addresses in bitcoin and you shouldn't be trying to attribute payments based on so called from addresses. Instead hand out a different address to each person you want to receive bitcoin from.

Hi guys, I need your help too. I have been using electrum for a year but a week ago something strange happened, when I try to send btc I have this notice
The server returned an error when broadcasting the transaction. Consider trying to connect to a different server, or updating Electrum. The transaction was rejected because it is too large (in bytes) My electrum version is 3.3.4 for mac iOS
It is not about the fees or changing server, I have tried to change it all but nothing happens. I use seed and installed electrum on another device and finally was able to do 2 transactions but now the same thing I just can't send btc.
Please I need your advice what to do I have another electrum wallet and there is no problem with it.

If you're really creating a 100 kB transaction, you're going to want to read Fees are low, use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs!It explains how to select which inputs to use, and doing this correctly can save you a lot in fees.

Bob already mentioned it, it's 100kb or 100,000 bytes, it's displayed in the transaction's info if you click " Preview" in the " Send" Tab. It seems like Electrum is trying to spend from too many inputs, just try to pick a few inputs with enough balance ( about 30-60 inputs, refer on the steps below for the instructions on how to "coin control") from " coins" tab ( View->Show Coins) and send it to the destination address. Looks like you have a lot of small inputs in your wallet. Try to consolidate your small inputs first: - Open Coins tab.
- Select multiple inputs with small balance by holding "Shift" and Left click to highlight.
- Right click to the highlighted inputs and Select "Spend", you'll be transferred to the "Send" tab.
- From there, send to your own address and click "Max".... then, click "Preview", make sure the size is lesser than 100,000 bytes (100kb) in order to be valid.
- This method requires confirmation too, it will take a while for you to spend the output specially if you set a low fee.
