Topic: Put coins into single address (Read 473 times)

This way guarantees you'll include ALL the UTXOs in your wallet and won't miss any if you start adjusting the fees...  I've had instances before where adjusting a fee would drop a UTXO out of the transaction as the total amount required had reduced.

Granted it happened when there were like 15-20 inputs and there were a couple of "dust" sized UTXOs included in the mix... so it's quite possible that this wouldn't happen to others and/or the Electrum behaviour may have changed... but I know that by manually selecting all the UTXOs, none of them will be missed.

Besides, it isn't like it does any harm and takes about 5 extra mouse clicks...

Why do it like this? Why not just copy the receiving address you grabbed in step 2 to the send tab and just doing a normal send transaction? There is no reason to worry about individual utxos.

I set 0.00008908 btc/kb and it went through in 30 minutes

What were the fees showing as? as long as you can look on blockchain.info and it shows a fee higher than 10 sats/byte you can always try and use the ViaBTC TX Accelerator.

If it comes up less than 10 sats/byte, you can give me the TXID and I can try pushing it through another service that I know

Thanks all, especially to HCP for the very detail and graphic explanation

Have just sent out the broadcast (though I suspect the fees might be too low) and let's see how it goes!

You don't "merge" bitcoin addresses. That is impossible. What you do is consolidate all your "Unspent Transaction Outputs" (or UTXOs) into a single UTXO... which is a complicated way of saying "Send all your coins to an address that you own in one transaction".

A step by step for Electrum would go something like this:

Step 1. Click on "Receive" Tab
Step 2. Copy the "Receiving Address (TIP: you can click the icon at the end of the box to copy it to the clipboard)



Step 3. Click on the "Coins" Tab (TIP: if you can't see a coins tab, click "Wallet -> Coins")
Step 4. Select all the UTXOs (Click the top one, then hold SHIFT and click the bottom one). Then right click and select "Spend"



Step 5. Enter (or Paste) the Address from Step 2. into the "Pay to" box
Step 6. (Optional - For Experts Only) To reduce fees for this transaction, set the fee to 10 sats/byte (0.0001 BTC/kB). You'll need to disable Dynamic Fees and set "Max Static Fee" to "0.0001".
Step 7. Set the fee slider as appropriate (if you did Step 6, set the slider all the way to the right so you can see the tooltip says "Fixed Rate: 0.00010000 BTC/kB")
Step 8. Click "MAX" and make sure "Replaceable" is ticked.



Step 9. Click Preview to make sure ALL your coins are included, that there is only ONE output and that your fee has been calculated correctly. (NOTE: If your fee is too low, you won't be able to use the accelerator.)
Step 10. Click "Sign" and enter your password as required.



Step 11. After the transaction is signed... RECHECK the transaction size and fee to make sure your fee is still AT LEAST 0.00010000 BTC/kB.



Step 12. If everything looks good, "Broadcast" the transaction.
Step 13. (Optional - For Experts Only) If you set the fee manually to 10 sats/byte, go and use the ViaBTC TX Accelerator to push your transaction or you could be waiting a while for your transaction to confirm.

NOTES/WARNINGS:

• I will not be held liable if you attempt to use this method to consolidate your coins and you make a mistake and/or your coins get stuck.
• If you set the fees manually, make sure you calculate the fee correctly... otherwise your transaction and ALL your coins could get stuck for a while
• TRIPLE check the address you're sending to. You're sending ALL your coins, so you want to make sure they're going to the right place
• The ViaBTC TX Accelerator can be difficult to use as it is always busy, if you don't want to rely on it, then calculate and use "proper" fees based on network load or use Dynamic Fees and accept the cost

Just send all the Bitcoins you want to "merge" to a new address. If you received coins in multiple addresses, you will see there will be a lot of inputs and only one output (your new address) on your transaction. You should read ranochigo's post before asking something he already answered.

offtopic: I believe ChipMixer signature campaign requires you to only do high quality posts. I saw some of your other posts in some threads I was reading and IMO you are usually shit posting and making points already made previously in the thread. Try to read this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/forum-campaign-why-have-i-been-banned-posting-guidelines-1741988

Just read about some post here about merging but they don't actually share how to do merging bitcoin addresses in electrum..
Do you have any source of step by step how to merging bitcoin addresses into one address i got read some post the 1 input can decrease the transaction fee  and would like to test and hope you can give some blog post or you can share step by step merging bitcoin addresses.

The ByteBall airdrop allows you to just link all your Bitcoin addresses to your ByteBall address... Sure it is a bit of nuisance having to sign the message from all the different addresses you have, but it works.

As ranochigo and Kolloh have indicated, doing a consolidation transaction is possible, but can be costly in fees if the number of UTXOs you're consolidating is substantial. Having said that, at the moment the network load is pretty low... currently less than 5K unconfirmed transactions, so you can probably lowball on fees and still get confirmed... I'd recommend using at least 10 sats/byte (0.0001 BTC/kB) and then using the ViaBTC TX Accelerator to push it through.

Just be aware that as ranochigo pointed out, if you don't unselect the "use change addresses" option... and you create any transactions before the next airdrop, your coins will end up in a non-linked address, so won't be counted in the snapshot.

Also keep in mind that it could add up to quite a bit in fees depending on how many inputs you have in total.

To do this, you have to spend all the coins from all your different address to a single address. This way, you are spending all the UXTOs of the previous transactions and "merging" them into a single UXTO.

After that, you have to go to Tools>Preferences>Transactions and unselect "use change address".

Hi guys,

Is there any way I can merge all my coins into a single address.  It's easier to use a single address to link to an airdrop (GBYTE in case you are wondering).
