Unable to send amounts smaller than .05 (nickle) USD using Bitcoin.com Wallet on PC

Fri Apr 20, 2018 4:05 am

EDITED: updated w/actual tx ID and more...

Tried to send a very small amount of BCH using the Bitcoin.com wallet (Win64 v4.8.0) today and was unable to send anything less than .05 USD.
Any amount I tried to send (USD or sat/BCH) failed with error insufficient funds for fee. Wallet contained .10 USD (dime). Yet when I sent sent .05 USD the fee was calculated to be 26.18 sat/byte). Which is MUCH higher than the 1-Sat/byte I thought this wallet defaulted to. Seems that when sending below .05 USD the fee calculation was even worse and thus failed due to only .10 USD in wallet.

Bottom line: it cost 0.04 in fees to send .05 USD

TX ID: d16a7c6ff14caac4044fe56d8be107dd96dcc40c6643ff4d392a2f84bd5371c1

Anyway, not a huge deal, more of an annoyance. But would like to be able to send a few pennies on occasion to demonstrate to others the ULTRA low fees BCH has and that micro-tx ARE a reality NOW!

Thanks!

Hi morem7,

I just now went to send 5 cents of BCH with my Bitcoin.com wallet and the fee (set as normal) is only 0.00000243 BCH (0.0024 USD or approximately 1/4 of a penny to send 5 cents).

Yes, that it the type of fee I have seen in the past/expected. The problem I had must have had something to do with the small amount in the wallet, just .10USD. But still should have worked to send even just .01 USD, but it wouldnt let me.
