13:03:37 I'm seeing that wallet2 can prefer to spend an output bigger than necessary to fulfill a transaction, when a smaller sufficient output is available. is this expected or maybe indicative of a bug? 13:05:57 Expected. Iirc mooo recently said its coded to try to use 2 inputs, trending to 2>1 consolidations 13:07:58 Personally, i think it should be the opposite - always try to use the most efficient / lowest number of inputs 13:08:33 My recollection could be fuzzy. woodser: 13:19:05 ok, thanks 14:02:19 "its coded to try to use 2 inputs" is true, but not the reason for "spend an output bigger than necessary to fulfill a transaction, when a smaller sufficient output is available". 14:03:08 The reason is that it will select outputs randomly (within the set of outputs of minimal "similarity" to ones already selected). 15:28:32 Ярик Мудрый: please join and ask in Monero Community Dev . There are a few options for you 15:29:55 ofrnxmr[m]: thank you very much
