Server.SubmitTransaction for an unfunded new account fails

See original GitHub issue

I am using the example Send Native Assets

My source account has 10,000 lumen (got that via the TestNetFriendBot). If I send 1000 xlm to an existing destination account all is fine.

However, if I send funds to a fresh unfunded account (created via KeyPair.Random()) the Server.SubmitTransaction response with no Hash in the result and response.SubmitTransactionResponseExtras.ExtrasResultCodes.TransactionResultCode is set to tx_failed with op_no_destination.

I confused since the FAQ says:

You can fund an account by sending 1 lumen to it…

So I realize that there should be a minimum reserve of 2.5 lumens for destination. but I’m sending 1000 to it.

Did I misunderstand the consensus? What Im I doing wrong? Please advice.

Hi there good morning, you can specify how much do you want to have as starting balance, i’m not sure if the create account operation have in mind the base fee and do this automatically, i think yes, just try in testnet i would say.

It’s more or less like another operation, you create it, sign it and send it.

Hi @Kirbyrawr https://github.com/Kirbyrawr and good morning 😃 Thanks for you reply. Do I need to send funds in order to CreateAccount (and Sign?)? is it the same as SubmitTransaction?

Hi there just woke up, you need to do a CreateAccount Operation not a Payment Operation if it’s not created.
