Electrum: "Not enough funds" in Electrum (3.0.1/OSX) wallet

Created on 8 Nov 2017  路  6Comments  路  Source: spesmilo/electrum

Hi!
This is my situation:

  • I made a new wallet in Electrum wallet;
  • Exported xpub address and generate few sub-addresses;
  • Accepted funds on those addresses;
  • I can see confirmed incoming transactions in Electrum, as well as total Balance, shows a correct amount.

The problem is that when I click "send" and try to transfer accumulated funds somewhere else it says Not enough funds.

How can solve the problem and send my funds?

Exported xpub address and generate few sub-addresses;

What do you mean by this? You created a watch-only wallet?

@AbdussamadA no, i think the wallet was created by the mnemonic phrase, and then the 3rd party has created some addresses from the master public key.

Well, I have created a normal wallet with seed phrase, password and private keys.
Then I utilized features that BIP32 offers and generated a few derived public addresses which I gave to clients. By this (I think) I had my private keys safe and yet I allowed each client to transfer funds to a new unique address (which I generated from my master public key).

just set the fee manually

In fact, @ecdsa suggested the solution. It worked!

What was the problem actually? Just so Electrum has automatically set too high fee amount which were greater than my total balance?

the problem was that you did not see the fee
