How to calculate the minimum when using multiple addresses

Modified on Thu, 14 Nov at 10:35 AM

BlockBee supports multi-addresses. This means that we can send your funds up to 20 different addresses. Though the higher the number of addresses, higher the minimum of the transaction.

The minimum is calculated using this formula:

1 + (N - 1) / 3

where N is the number of output addresses.

Say you want to use 2 addresses. You do the calcule like this:

1 + (2 - 1) / 3 = 1.33

This a percentual value that you should add to the minimum transaction that you can find in our cryptocurrencies page. For example, with Bitcoin should be like this:

0.00008 * 1.33 = 0.0001064 BTC

If the percentage that you want to send to is too small, say like 1%, in some currencies it may fail in some cryptocurrencies due to the dust threshold (it's the minimum possible to transact in those blockchains). These are BTC and BCH of 546 satoshi (BTC & BCH), and 5460 litoshi (LTC).

Please be aware that if you proceed with a transaction lower to the minimum, BlockBee will ignore the transaction and we won't be able to recover the funds.
