# Transferring Sats ## Moving A Single Valuable Sat To A New Wallet It makes sense to transfer sats with the same satributes to a single wallet. This will make them easy to find in the future. * This option is available if you have a Unisat or XVerse wallet connected * Click the sat number or name. It will open a menu with all the available options. * Select 'Transfer'
On the resulting pop up screen, toggle the two switches opening up the Sat Range and Postage settings, circled in red in the screen below.
## Using the Postage Setting Notice I changed the Postage Setting to 10000. This adds 9999 sats after the one you want to transfer and is known as padding. You have the option to add extra sats because when you move your sat again after this, a Bitcoin wallet (such as Sparrow or Unisat) will always take fees off the end of the transaction... so instead of using your valuable sat to pay fees you will use these 9999 padded sats. You can specify less padding here and use other tools, such as Sparrow wallet, to designate the sats used for fees, but that process is not documented here. * Enter the wallet address you want to transfer to. * Select how much to pay in fees. I always choose Custom and I always choose high. You can use to help determine what the going fees are. If you pick wrong here you could end up waiting a long time for your transfer to process. Picking the right fees without paying too much is an art. * Next click Submit, then confirm the wallet transaction and you are done. Your valuable sat will show up in your other wallet as soon as the BTC chain processes it. ## Moving A Large Range Of Sats There will be times when you want to move an entire range of sats. For example, lets say you find a 1 million sat range of names starting with 'bitcoin' and you want to keep them all. It is very easy using the same method used for Padding above. Essentially, you are doing a transfer of the first sat in the range, and then adding the next million as padding after it. This is easily done with the Sat Range settings. Make sure the first arrow underneath the bar is all the way to the left, and the second arrow is all the way to the right to select the entire range. The Postage Setting range (green arrow) will reflect the total number of sats to be moved.
## What If You Receive A Failure? 1. The most common problem is you already have a transaction in process. All the sats in a UTXO are locked as long as there is an unconfirmed transaction in there. If you want to move more than one sat at a time without waiting on the Bitcoin chain for each give the [Satchel ](/how-to-use-sating/the-satchel.md)a try. 2. Sometimes Sating stops you from transferring because another valuable sat is in the way of your padding. Sating won't let you accidentally use a sat it considers valuable for fees. You will need to move the higher numbered valuable sat out of the way first. 3. I have also seen Sating stop me from transferring if there are not enough sats for the fees before the end of the last UTXO the valuable sat is in. If this is the case you can send additional bitcoin into the wallet to solve the issue. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
