should their be a minimum number of inputs to qualify? i can imagine a future where these tiny outputs are useful. then the owners can just spend them, if the consolidation is valid with 1 input

like, i have a p2pool dust wallet. i don't plan on using those outputs until each individual tiny output has a useful value. though maybe thats because its expensive to consolidate. .... ......

How much are the individual outputs worth rn, 1 cent?

I guess they become somewhat useable after a 100x which is at least for now not that likely

the smallest payout is 4-5 cents at current Monero price

same here, won't be touching my mining wallet for quite some time I imagine
