I have 10.65 xch

BrandtH22 commented 5 days ago

Hey @USA-chia-plotter-men , TLDR: you need to send smaller amounts of xch to yourself to combine the coins.

Context - this is due to the coinset model in chia and how that 10.65 xch is split amongst the various coins. The coinset model relies on coins having their own value and all of those coins added together establish your balance similar to how cash itself works. Imagine having $10 in all pennies but wanting to buy something for that $10. Most places will not accept pennies so you would need to go the bank to transfer your 1,000 pennies into a $10 bill.

The chia blockchain works the same, in this case your 10.65 xch is split across multiple small value coins and it takes space in a block for each and every coin that needs to be sent. The error is indicating that you can send a total value of 2318074723123 mojo (~2.3 xch) because the coins that make up that 2.3 xch will fill up a block. To be able to send all 10.65 xch in a single transactions you need to combine those coins into a larger coin which can be done simply by sending the allowed amounts each time to yourself (i.e. start by sending 2.3 xch to the destination then the next allowed amount and so on). This will spend the smaller value coins and create larger value coins in the amounts that are sent. You can repeat this process to continually increase the amounts of the coins and therefore send more xch in each individual transaction.
