Does anyone know the number for a 16 output TX the maximum amount of inputs possible under v16? Extra would be just the Rs per output. I figure I can either ask, painfully calculate it, or continually try TXs until I go one too far :p

I don't know about 16 output, but regular transactions can have 146 inputs: testnet.xmrchain.net/block/1983000

Essentially unlimited in practice (as long as your block size is large enough).

Max tx size is about half the block size IIRC.

max tx size = half of the current median weight

but wallet2 limits it to 2/3 of that

so 100,000 bytes in practice

Thanks to the both of you :) Sounds like I can set to 64 without concern then (round number, guaranteed to work, remains conservative). Potentially 128 yet I'd be hesistant there...

... if it's half the current median weight, and mainnet blocks are most frequently ~50kb, doesn't that make the TX limit 25kb AKA just ~48 inputs w 2 outputs?

Median is currently 300 so the 50s must just be the bottom half. That means it is actually 100k, as described, if that's stable... over what window is this? I really don't want to have random TX errors because the median drops to 50 if it's over 10 blocks or so like time is.

*Not saying time is exactly 10, saying time is a very small selection.

Median weight is capped at >= 300,000

... Oh. So I can always assume a 100kb TX will be accepted without issue?

Perfect if so. Was really pained thinking about this. Wallets are a pain to manage as it is D:

yes

Monero nodes will accept up to 150kb though

100kb is wallet's restriction

Yep :) I'll set my 'max inputs' to 128 and call it.

I do understand the technical commentary on extra being arbitrary and how different proof types exist, but for the API I'm working with... I can make such assumptions and 128 shouldn't be an issue given outputs share a BP

hi i am thinking about compiling a monero cli wallet - interface wise it is easy to a)create new addresses and b) check addresses balances

previously used gui wallet

and does it take a day or two to download entire blockchain?
