Hi there thanks for that information.

Okay so for example, let say i want to send the entire btc i have in that specific wallet.  Lets just say its 0.03 btc to make it simple.  When i do this, i then could change the fee etc.  So i want to make sure my balance on that address goes to exactly zero as i read its best to not use an address so many times etc.  So say i want to send the entire 0.03 btc.  When i click on the sending fee, let say its so and so.  I should subtract the 0.03 btc and the sending fee amount right, that way it adds up to exactly 0.03 btc i am sending?

Im confused with the second part.  So doing this could mean the transaction takes a lot longer than normal?  I don't know what the cpfp means.  I basically want to not have any btc sent from my other addresses as i want any btc i receive now to go to a new address and it be used a few times only as i read you should not be using btc address more than once etc.

No, you need to go to the "Addresses" tab FIRST... right click on the address you want to spend from and select "spend from"... this will then populate the "Send" tab so that ONLY the coins in that address will be spent (you'll see a "FROM" box with just the inputs in that address and you'll notice the max amount is NOT your full wallet balance).

Then you put in the address you want to send to, and the amount you want to send... and the fee you want to use.

Bear in mind that doing this will create a chain of unconfirmed transactions... and there is NO WAY this transaction can confirm, until the inbound transaction is confirmed.

Are you attempting to do a "Child Pays For Parent" (CPFP) transaction?

Hi there.  Okay i will uncheck that box.  But when i go to the send btc page, i put the btc address i want to send to and the amount.  For the fees, is it best to leave it at 10 blocks or make it 25 blocks?  Its like a 1-2 dollar difference and it already cost 12 dollars to send which is ridiculous.


So i input all that information, btc addres i send to, amount of btc and fees, then instead of clicking send btc.. i have to then go to that page with the btc address i want to send from and click spend?  Then it would ask me for my encryption password right to send the btc?  Thanks.

Yes, you can spend unconfirmed transactions and in electrum to do that you need to uncheck the 'Spend only confirmed coins' options in your preferences as displayed in my screenshot here:



Basically your unconfirmed input that you spend, will also create a transaction that'll be unconfirmed until the input is confirmed. So basically you've receive bitcoins into address '1HEZVUm.....' and you can spend by sending a payment to that website you're mentioning and it'll make use of this address now as an input. The only drawback is that you're in a bit of a shaky situation here cause your inputs haven't been confirmed and hence your output won't either until it has been.

To send Bitcoin from a specific address which has your unconfirmed coins, first go to 'View' in menu bar and click 'Show coins'. After that you can right click on that specific address and click spend. Note: Just check, if you're on an older version of electrum (probably 2.7) then you'll have to do this from the 'Address' tab. In the address tab right click on the address and click 'Send From'.

I received some btc recently on a new address that i have not used.  It shows as unconfirmed.  Can i send btc to another site right now exactly that amount of btc from that specific address?  Or i cannot do this?  I know if i send btc to another site that amount of btc in my wallet, i can do this because my wallet has that amount of btc.  Its a very tiny amount of btc.  Like 0.003 or so.  It shows that amount on the unconfirmed and i read bitcoin is very slow now and lot of unconfirmed transactions.


And how do i send btc to a site from a specific address?  I want to send it from that btc address that i just received from but it shows unconfirmed.


I think you can't send your bitcoin to other address if its not spendable or its still no confirm it takes a long time get confirm if you send it to other bitcoin address.. you can use some services to accelerate your transaction to get confirm your transaction here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/accelerate-your-transactions-via-antpool-by-yourself-no-need-to-ask-anybody-1951859
And after you submit it should be confirm in few hours..
Also if you don't want your transaction to be delay or to get confirm for too long you should pay fee higher than the default fee you can check the chart here for updated default fee chart http://bitcoinfees.earn.com/
