Once again, I want to trade some SCOT coins…

I have 0.0007 BTC in my address, I need 0.00021 to pay the fees. So WAY ENOUGH…

But again and again, I get this stupid message about having insufficient BTC in my address to place the order.

I have the same issue when I want to withdraw FLDC coin…

Can someone finally help in the support team???

1.) If you have an issue, I would suggest you post your issue and wait for an answer… posting 3 separate posts on the same issue does no one any good.

2.) I would suggest searching the forum for a solution to your issue before posting your question… a quick search revealed that the answer to your question has been posted many many MANY times on the forum…

> The fee charged for a bitcoin transaction is based off the size of the transaction (inputs and outputs). If you have a bunch of tiny inputs (tiny amounts of bitcoin) then the transaction will continue to grow in size until there is enough BTC inputs in the transaction to pay for the miners fees. The reason the fees keep going up for you is because you continue to send tiny bits of bitcoin to solve the problem, which only makes the problem worse. You send a tiny bit, that tiny bit makes the next…

3.) The issue is the same as when you posted a month ago asking why you were unable to do a send. The issue is that you don’t have enough BTC in your address to pay for the transaction… simple solution, send more BTC to your address… if your dealing with tiny amounts of BTC, your always going to be dealing with larger transactions and complaining about fees… Send 0.01 BTC to the address and try again, your issues will be resolved.

> I had the same issue and got it solved by sending 0.001 btc to my counterwallet. The reason why your 0.0007 btc do not work is because it consists of maybe 14 tiny 0.00005340 btc which is called dust. If want to use these 14 tiny btc you also need 14 times the fee cause all adds up. The dust is created with each counterwallet transaction because it rides on the bitcoin network which needs a btc dust as minimum btc value. Still counterwallet could give a hint that the current balance has too mu…
