1) blockr.io isn't showing the full transaction by default. Click Raw instead of Trade. 2) Why wouldn't you pay fees twice? They're two different transactions, no?

I'm trying to understand the fee structure. If the rule is: pay a fee to send  and one for a receive that's OK. I thought that only the sender pays - if I misunderstood, then I need to adjust my thinking. If you like - I have the full decodes...

You mean 'inputs - outputs' right?

# Am I paying Double fees?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-10-24)

On testnet I sent a [transaction](https://tbtc.blockr.io/tx/info/0ce8fcb677432004c2da94efc7b4526ef0cdcccbbb37b0019a53fc1e2e7f39b7)

I believe this was for TBTC1.000 and a 0.0001 fee: i.e. inputs - outputs = 0.0001.

When I try to claim the transaction I am only allowed to claim 1 - 0.001. If I claim (what I expect to be) the full amount (TBTC1.000) I receive an err #26.
If I claim TBTC0.9999 everything works

I presume I'm doing something wrong, and would be happy to understand what that is.

Thanks for any suggestions
