I was told that ValueNotConservedUTxO is the result of
Value not Conserved: (Input UTXO ≠ Fee + Amount sent + Change)

But the value I calculated adds up to 0 as I am trying to send out all my tAda. What am I doing wrong?

Please help, thanks in advance!

Do u have the latest files for alonzo?

This is not the stake address?

It has something to do with that 6b8d07d69639e9413dd637a1a815a7323c69c86abbafb66dbfdb1aa7 that are in the UTXO is that some custom token or ??

…try including that in the tx-out as well…

6

You meant TxIn. Yeah, tried that too. TxIn with both #0 and # and returns invalid. I drew that token from the faucet as test token instead of tAda. Maybe they are unspendable.

option --tx-in:
unexpected “#”
expecting hexadecimal digit
Incorrect transaction id format:: “6b8d07d69639e9413dd637a1a815a7323c69c86abbafb66dbfdb1aa7”

No need for additional tx-in as it is a part of the same utxo.

But you need to include it in tx-out.

Try:

--tx-out $(cat paymentwithstake.addr)+0+"2 6b8d07d69639e9413dd637a1a815a7323c69c86abbafb66dbfdb1aa7"

Included Tx-out with + “2 6b8d07d69639e9413dd637a1a815a7323c69c86abbafb66dbfdb1aa7” and returns error: Output too small. But I am spending more than 1 ada. This isn’t a big problem as I am only doing this on testnet and the amount is small. Just don’t know why this is happening.

When having ADA only in the transaction the minimum as per protocol parameters is 1ADA.
If having other tokens in the transaction that minimum gets higher and depends on the number of tokens and their size.

The 1.13ADA you are sending is probably not enough.

See here for explanation about min value:
https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-ledger-specs/blob/master/doc/explanations/min-utxo.rst

And here for a calculator:
https://mantis.functionally.io/how-to/min-ada-value/

Try sending 1.5ADA and see if it works or calculate the exact amount.
