<monero.arbo:matrix.org> has there been discussion of dropping fake outputs and the wallet preference to try to create 2 input transactions under FCMP

qubic has started selfish mining

<jeffro256> @monero.arbo:matrix.org: Carrot still needs a dummy 0-amount output scannable by the wallet, so the 2-out minimum will stay. Even if Carrot didn't need it, it's still a bad idea to allow 1-out txs, since external observers can see that it is a sweep transaction, which kills uniformity. As for the preference to create 2-in [... too long, see mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/xqDy_bEKVGNKWDJ5 ]

<jeffro256> This is how the preferred input count is determined in the current Carrot/FCMP++ code: github.com/seraphis-migration/moner…_impl/input_selection.cpp#L291-L331

<jeffro256> I don't know if it's optimal
