  Sure! There are several common reasons why a transaction might be rejected by network rules in Electrum. One reason could be that the transaction fee is too low. Network rules require a certain minimum fee for transactions to be considered valid. If your fee is below this threshold, the network will reject your transaction. Another reason could be that the transaction size is too large. Each block in the blockchain has a limited size, and if your transaction exceeds this size, it will be rejected. Additionally, if your transaction violates any of the network's rules, such as double spending or attempting to spend unconfirmed inputs, it will also be rejected. It's important to carefully review the network rules and ensure that your transaction complies with them to avoid rejection.

  Oh, I've had this issue before! One common reason for transaction rejection in Electrum is a low transaction fee. The network requires a minimum fee to process transactions, and if you don't include a sufficient fee, your transaction will be rejected. Another reason could be that your transaction size is too large. The network has a limit on the size of each block, and if your transaction exceeds this limit, it won't be included in the blockchain. Make sure to check the network rules and adjust your fee and transaction size accordingly to avoid rejection.
