Hi drahm3418 and aleksandr.kormiltsyn,

First: Are you certain that you've selected the correct coin when trying to send (please make sure it says BTC and not BCH)?

Second: You must take into account the network transaction fee which must be paid on each transaction in order to ensure that it gets included in a block and propagated across the network. The network transaction fee will vary depending on the size of the transaction (note: this is not the amount of the transaction, but the size as determined by number of inputs [number of addresses the funds are coming from] and outputs [number of addresses the funds are going to, including any change addresses inside your own wallet]). If you wish to send the max amount you can with the fee already calculated you can press the three dot menu icon on the sending page and hit 'Send max amount'.

If the amount in your wallet is lower than the transaction fee required to send it you will not be able to send the funds until there is more BTC in your wallet with which to pay the transaction fee.

You can check the amount of addresses in your wallet with funds available and therefor the amount of inputs that will go into a transaction if you wish to send the total amount, to do this:

1) Go to Settings > [select BTC or BCH] > More Options > Wallet Addresses
2) Tap on "scan addresses for funds"
3) All the "unused addresses" and " addresses with balance" will now show up below
4) At the bottom it will calculate for you the approximate bitcoin fee needed to send the full amount in your wallet.

The Bitcoin (BTC) network can often get quite congested and it is not uncommon for the mempool to have 100k+ unconfirmed transactions waiting to be confirmed and included into a block. This creates long transaction times and also much higher than usual transaction fees. This is dictated by the network and is unfortunately not under Bitcoin.com's control.

You can use **[this tool](https://bitcoinfees.earn.com)** to calculate the recommended network transaction fee at any given time.
