bug? network fee too high for sweeping paper wallets

Thu May 03, 2018 5:47 am

Hi,

I have a paper wallet with 0.0001 BTC ($0.15 USD) but when I try to sweep it using the latest bitcoin.com windows desktop wallet, I get:

"Error sweeping wallet: Insufficient funds."

There is only a single output in this address, so I expect the fee to be under 300 sat. I think this must be a bug since I have 10k sat in the address.

Can you confirm what is the minimum balance that the bitcoin.com wallet can sweep from a paper wallet?

Thanks!

It depends on what you have the bitcoin network fee policy set to on your wallet.
The current BTC fees on the Bitcoin.com wallet are below:

"Urgent" = 152sat/B
"Priority" = 102sat/B
"Normal/Economy" = 72sat/B
"Super economy" = 3sat/B

Please note the higher the fee paid on the BTC network, the greater incentive a miner has to include your transaction into a block.

While recommended fees can fluctuate a lot for BTC.
All Bitcoin Cash (BCH) transactions are charged at around the standard 1sat/B.

If you need anymore help, please email our wallet support team: wallet@bitcoin.com
Please provide as much information as possible in your email and also a link to this thread. It would be good if you could also include the address you are trying to sweep from (The public key, NOT the private key)

Thanks for responding! I meant I have 0.0001 BCH, not BTC. I already have my wallet set to super-economy. I have e-mailed wallet@bitcoin.com with a link to this thread.
