# Not Enough Safe UTXOs To Generate Transaction

There are three main reasons Sating may believe you don't have enough sats in your wallet to do whatever you are doing, even if you believe you do.

1. You may have valuable sats in your UTXOs - Sating's number one rule is it will never use valuable sats as fees.  You can have lots of UTXOs in your wallet, but if each one has a palindrome or vintage or even pizza sats it may be causing you to get an error.
2. Your UTXO with usable bitcoin may have an unconfirmed transaction - You can have 3 BTC with all common sats in a UTXO your wallet, but if you have a previous transaction taking place on that UTXO you will need to wait for it to be confirmed before you can use it.  [Mempool.space](https://mempool.space) is a good site to use to see when each block is confirmed. 
3. Your fees may be higher than you anticipated - If you are inscribing, the Bitcoin network fees are often very high due to the size of the file being inscribed.  Check the fees summary again and verify they are what you are expecting. The more compact you can make the file the lower your fees will be.
