ZCL Electrum Release 1.0.4 keeps funds captive - sending does not work.

[WhaleVsSardine]

I started off with the 1.0.3 version of the wallet and could not send my balance to a Cryptopia ZCL address. Kept getting an error:
error: {'message': 'the trnasaction was rejected by network rules.\n\n16: bad-txns-oversize
\n[01.very long alphanum string... 'code': -1}

Thought it was maybe the wallet. Downloaded the latest (1.0.4) version and the same error occurs. The wallet still shows my balance, but it's pointless if I can send it anywhere.

Please help.

It seems like you have too many fragmented coins. Try sending a smaller amount, or consolidating some of these with a sweep. Are there a lot of addresses in use in your wallet?

Thanks ch4ot1c. Not well versed with wallet and functionality, but I did see a "sweep" option. Will try that. I have been mining to my wallet using a single receiving address so maybe the fragmentation was from pool payouts - but if this is the cause, many more should be experiencing the same issue. Will try the "sweep" option and report back. Thanks again for the response.

ch4ot1c, I have a question.
I have yet to 'claim' the BTCP from the fork. Since I read that doing a 'sweep' will create a new private key - would it not be better to first do all related to claiming the coindroppped BTCP and then messing around with my private key?
