I get the error 'Insufficient funds' when I try to send dogecoin

What is the symptom ?

You try to send some dogecoin but when you press the 'Send' button you get the error 'Insufficient funds' appearing in a dialog box.

What does 'Insufficient funds' mean ?

In your wallet you can normally only spend dogecoin that have confirmed. This is shown graphically in the 'Transactions Transactions' tab when the status icon is no longer empty. If you have unconfirmed transactions you get an 'Available to spend' balance in the MultiDoge header. This shows the amount in your wallet that is available to spend. See What does 'available to spend mean ?' for more details.

Also, you need to take into account the fee that is added to your transaction. The fee varies according to the size of the transaction but is typically 0.0001 DOGE. For instance, if you have 10 DOGE in your wallet and the fee is 0.0001 DOGE then you can only spend a maximum of 10 - 0.0001 = 9.9999 DOGE.
