Ok, turns out I'm ignorant.

I was able to get the majority out by exporting and importing my keys into a new wallet.

Got scared there for a bit.

I don't use Blockchain.info myself, but isn't the 2nd image showing tx fee paid by mining farm (probably for tx to multiple addresses)?

@OP, since apparently Blockchain.info didn't steal anything from you, it would be fair to change the 'Subject' of this thread.

the first image itself is telling you what the problem is since you have a lot of input or small transactions received when you are trying to send all those the tx will be large so the large fee. you can either pay the fee or use lower fees as you wish with taking the risks following that

you probably had a really large transaction size

The fee depends on the size of the data in the transaction, not the value of the transaction. If you have many small inputs (as a result of receiving a tiny amount every day), then the size of the data in the transaction could be quite large and costly.

So I don't know what to make of this... Maybe I didn't RTDM?

The following image shows that I'm getting an insufficient funds error when trying to send .927 Bitcoin to another address. It can clearly be seen that my account has more than enough to cover the transaction. I had just input about .913 from coins I purchased from Coinbase to make a Bitcoin payment on another website but didn't want to do the transaction directly from Coinbase. Now, I don't even know. Wow! How can it even begin to tell me I only have .0493 available??

The next image shows what might be going on here. Quite a while ago I purchased some hashpower from a mining farm and they have been making very small payments every day. I just kinda forgot about it as a bad investment. But going in and looking at the transactions I see what might be going on...

A .0071 transaction fee for a .00012726 transaction? At todays rate, they are charging me about $1.53 to input less than 3 pennies?!? Why wouldn't they notify me? Why wouldn't they reflect that fee in my total balance? Is this some kind of joke or accident?

Did I seriously just throw my $200 into a wallet that won't let me get it out again??
