The Issue

There was a recent app side patch to address a deposit error when you don't have enough LBC, but it doesn't take into account the scenario if the bid is exactly equal to the wallet balance. This is most likely because there is a tx fee associated with the publish (no way to calculate this right now as it depends on what UTXOs the tx uses - this is something we'd need added to the daemon logic where the balance calculation should really reside).

Steps to reproduce

Have 1 LBC in wallet
Publish with 1 LBC bid
See error

Expected behaviour

Insufficient balance error

Actual behaviour

Ugly error

System Configuration

LBRY Daemon version: 0.18.0
LBRY App version: 0..19.1

So the solution is to get a daemon fix, correct? I am going to mark this as protocol dependent. Otherwise, we can just arbitrarily set a limit below your balance that is the maximum you can send. i.e. max send limit is your balance - .1 LBC (or whatever the upper limit of likely fees are)

The UX around this has improved, no longer an issue in the redesign. Final adjustments will be made when the daemon can provide fee estimates.
