why can't i send bitcoin on electrum? the "pay" button is turned off (gray)
There are only two things to check:
- Double-check what you type/paste in the "pay to" field, one wrong character in the address will disable the "Pay..." button.
- Or highly unlikely, you still haven't entered anything in the "Amount" field, that is required.
Tip: If you're on desktop, you can actually click on that "
Pay to" text to see which formats are accepted by Electrum.
For address, it will only accept real Bitcoin addresses, not those wrapped/pegged bitcoin address on other chains.
