If there is not enough left in the wallet balance to cover for the fee, to ask if what more is needed to cover for the fee to be subtracted from the transfer #2724

   If the would be transfer is larger than the fee, and there is not enough left in the balance to cover for the fee, to request to subtract what more is needed to cover for the fee from the would be transfer.

   This way if someone wants to transfer their entire balance somewhere else, they can without accounting for the amount that should be left to cover for the fee.

   (I understand that there are pull requests that make the transfer process more convenient, so what I’m suggesting here might already be implemented, but then again, it might not. I at least don’t think it is.)

   Yes, there should be an checkbox to make the fee inclusive. This should always be possible, not just when there is not enough balance.

   If this is a known but could you please tell me what I need to set my transaction fee to in order send the bitcoins in my wallet? Just don’t close the ticket without providing a proper answer…that’s just rude!

   Github is not a support forum, but a list of known issues and discussion of fixes.

   In this case you don’t need to change your transaction fee, but you have to send (slightly) less than your total amount of coins so that amount+fee is less than your balance.

   I am not sure if you saw my thread on bitcointalk which was originally linked in my post you closed. The bottom post in my thread shows the endless loop of the bug. So how do I break the loop and send bitcoins?

   Secondly looking through the posts here of the issue, it seems to got back as far as 5 months or so, I am surprised this hasn’t been addressed since and hope it is in the next release.

   I think you need to subtract even more. At some point it should go through. This seems to be a fight with the coin selection logic, probably you have some very small inputs in your wallet and it sometimes selects them and sometimes does not. A kind of catch 22: selecting the inputs to pay the fee increases the size of the transaction so the fee.

   (with coin control on 0.9 you can manually select which inputs to use and bypass the automatic selection process)

   If you hadn’t noticed we’re really short on developers and testers, there are tons of 10 months and older issues left.

   So I took off 0.0004 from the bitcoins to cover the fees and its now stuck in the blockchain once more; this happened to me before when I sent 0.59xxxx bitcoins. Does this look normal? I really hope you address the issue in 0.9!!!
