How to send small amount of BTC to thousands of addresses?

-1

0

I'd like to create a pool of addresses using Blockchain.com API. But because of the gap limit on unused addresses I want to transfer minimal amount (ideally 1 Satoshi) and without any fees. What's the easiest way to send small amount of BTC to thousands of addresses? I don't care about speed as this is a background operation.

UPD: This is NOT a question "how to create addresses?" this is a question how to distribute small amount of money to multiple addresses with minimal fees. It is not related to any service provider, Blockchain.com was indicated as a context only.

2This is really a service problem that you have with blockchain.com that they don't have a configurable gap limit flooding transactions is a really lazy solution. There is naturally a high cost to this sort of behavior, which you can't bypass. – Anonymous – 2018-10-11T03:20:45.990

blockchain.com has a configurable gap limit, however this is just to create addresses, not to track them. I can afford reasonable fees, just want to minimize it. – Serge Shakhov – 2018-10-11T23:04:12.500

1Sorry, this is nonsensical. You don't need to send money to an address to create it. – Anonymous – 2018-10-12T01:57:58.587

The only way to do this is by making a regular transaction with lots of outputs. Moreover, you will have great difficulty broadcasting a transaction with outputs of 1 Satoshi due to the dust limit.

A far easier solution would be to switch to a wallet provider that allows you to bypass the gap limit, such as bitgo (although it may be restricted to their commercial offering), or build your own transaction indexing system

Blockchain.com CAN create addresses beyond gap limit, it is just useles as it doesn't track them. It could be 1000 Satoshi or more if this helps. – Serge Shakhov – 2018-10-25T05:47:35.080

Creating addresses is not the hard part. Sending BTC to them to avoid the gap limit is not a viable solution, and your time/money would likely be better spent integrating a system that does not have a gap limit issue. – Raghav Sood – 2018-10-25T05:56:54.193
