# Cannot Transfer/Inscribe Due To Rare/Interesting Sats
Rule #1 In Sating - You Will Never Accidentally Spend What Sating Considers A Valuable Sat As Part Of A Fee. If the action you are attempting would result in you losing any sat considered valuable you will receive an error and you will need to work around it. Normally this means you need to move the valuable sat(s) causing the issue.
The first thing to try is to enable/toggle the Sat Range Setting and try again. This tells Sating to ignore the fact that there might be other valuable sats in the range you are transferring. If there are any Sating will let you know how many are in there.
If that doesn't work, you need to dig deeper to find the problem.
It is important for any sat hunter to know where Bitcoin fees are paid from. They come from the sats directly after the ones you are trying to move. For example, If you have 100000 sats in a UTXO and ask ANY Bitcoin wallet to move 15000 of them, while using 3500 sats for fees, the wallet will...
* Put the first 15000 in one transaction
* To pay fees, the 3500 sats starting at 15001 and going to 18501 go in a second transaction
* Put the remaining 81499 sats into a new UTXO
If at any time there are valuable sats in the 3500 used for fees you will receive an error from Sating. Any other wallet you use will simply pay your fees from those 3500 sats without checking to see if they have value, so if you are okay with this Sparrow is a good wallet to control which UTXO you send from and will use your valuable sats as fees.
### How Do You Work Around This Issue?
It helps to know now what Sating does if the range you are transferring goes until the end of the UTXO. For example, let's say you find 10000 Vintage sats at the end of a UTXO and want to save them all. You would choose transfer and select the entire range (see [Transferring Sats](/how-to-use-sating/transferring-sats.md)). In this case Sating will search the other UTXOs in your wallet looking for one starting with enough common, non-valuable, sats to pay the fees. If the first one it checks has valuable sats in the way, Sating will check the next UTXO, and the next, and the next until it finds one. You will continue to get the error if there are no common sats to pay fees with. If this is the case, you need to move enough common sats into the wallet to pay the fees. The logic looks something like this...
1. Are there enough common sats after the range selected in the same UTXO to pay fees? No
2. Check next UTXO. Are there enough common sats at the beginning of the UTXO to pay fees? No
3. Check next UTXO. Are there enough common sats at the beginning of the UTXO to pay fees? No
4. Check next UTXO... etc. etc. etc.
If Sating finds one that works the transaction will happen normally. If there are no UTXOs with enough common sats to pay fees you will get the error.
### Knowing This Information We Now Know How To Fix The Problem
We need two things.
1. A UTXO with the sat range we want at the end of it
2. A separate UTXO with enough common sats to pay fees
For the first part we just want to move all the sats after the last one we actually want to work with. If the sat range you want to work with ends in sat number 3259505868548, look up the next sat number (3259505868549) using Sating's Search and transfer this one and all the sats after it. You can even move them to the same wallet, you just want to leave 3259505868548 as the last sat in the original UTXO.
The second part is even easier. You just move a bunch of common sats into the wallet for fees.
Now you should be able to do whatever you want with your sats without any other valuable sats after them causing issues.
Note: If you are working with a range of valuable sats it is harder to keep from using valuable sats as fees. For example, it is difficult to inscribe on the first sat in the range because the rest of the sats after it are all valuable. Try working with the last sat using the same technique defined in [Common Sats Transfer/Inscribe](/how-to-use-sating/common-sats-transfer-inscribe.md). There are no valuable sats after the last sat in the range to get in the way.
