Merging funds across different sub-addresses not possible #1188

Closed kjb92 closed 2 years ago

kjb92 commented 2 years ago

Actual behavior:

I want to send out all my DFI from my desktop wallet app (running on windows) to another wallet, but have several "sub-addresses" where my DFI are scattered across - some in DFI_AccountToken, some in UTXO on my "main" address. I read about converting all the DFI_AccountTokens to UTXO first before sending them all out, which I already know to do by simply sending DFI to my own address, BUT this is when the problem comes in: I cannot select the "sending-FROM" sub-address where the DFI are supposed to be taken from. Why is that so? And how then do I achieve to merge all my scattered DFI to ONE address within my wallet?

Add: I also have the same issue with dBTC scattered across several sub-addresses, but I guess that the solution to merge them will be the same as for DFI.

Expected behavior:

A) I expect the app to pull the amount I want to send out of the wallet automatically from the sub-addresses where I have enough funds without me having to coordinate that manually. OR B) It would be very helpful to being able to select the "sending-FROM" address as simple as the "sending-TO" address.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

see above

@izzycsy can you help here? You already solved one of my issues once so I was hoping that I can count on you again 🙏 Is my description of the issue accurate enough? Thanks in advance!

Hi @kjb92 , on the desktop app selecting the address is not possible at the moment; as you understood, it's automatically selected, however, what I would suggest is using the DeFiChain Light Wallet on mobile, you'll be able to better control multiple addresses on the mobile app.

Do note that the DeFiChain Light Wallet app's & Desktop app's restoration methods are irrelevant; meaning to say you can't load the 24 words from mobile app on to the desktop app and neither can you load the wallet.dat from the desktop to mobile. If you would like to use the mobile app (saving the hassle of running a full node wallet), you'll have to create a new wallet and transfer your funds to the mobile app.


The team is currently working on integrating the mobile & desktop app — so you can use the same 24 words account concurrently. As for now, these are 2 independent applications. Hope this resolves your issue.

Hey @izzycsy, thanks for your lightning-fast reply! I understand everything you're saying and appreciate your response. However, I already have my funds stuck in the desktop app and now I'm trying to get them out of there :/ So, do you have an idea how I could step-by-step empty all the sub-address of my desktop wallet? I have 4 sub-addresses which all contain DFI & dBTC and I want to send everything to my Cake DeFi Wallet. How do I do that currently when the desktop app selects the source address automatically? Do I have to play around with the amounts I want to send so the app hopefully selects the right sub-address to send it from? :/ It's really frustrating ...

Hi @kjb92 , yes, you can:

  1. Select dBTC > MAX > select SEND
  2. Select DFI > MAX -1 (as there's a requirement for balance of 1 DFI to remain in your desktop app for fees) > select SEND

I would suggest you send dBTC first, since fees are in DFI, followed by sending your DFI.

Same steps apply if you're sending it to Light Wallet.

Awesome @izzycsy, I made it work! Thanks!
