20:12:00 <selsta> I removed all offline seed nodes: https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/8720
20:12:30 <selsta> if someone runs a seed node that should be up then please ping me and I'll remove it from the PR

20:34:40 <erembax[m]> hello monero devs,... (full message at <https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/libera.chat/55e59163f60b63ffe03e7ff9ffa9562ad1127e7f>)
20:45:31 <selsta> erembax[m]: I don't think there is a writeup on it, you will have to check the source code.
20:46:13 <erembax[m]> selsta: that's what i keep hearing! hard to believe there is no info about this crucial aspect available
20:51:25 <UkoeHB> iirc moneromooo has a summary of the general algorithm (or maybe jberman[m] ?)
22:09:47 <moneromooo> erembax[m]: it's mostly random. Picks a random output that's not deemed to be related to others already picked, till it gets enough for the amount to send plus fee.
22:10:14 <moneromooo> "Related" is handwavy, based on height mostly.
22:10:35 <moneromooo> Which made more sense before rct due to split txes. I think they're rather rare nowadays.
22:11:33 <moneromooo> The pick is uniform IIRC. There's no attempt to be select outputs that add up to just above the amount needed.
