I'm trying basic things about splitting monero. Is that good way to do it? Will %2 of total amount be enough for transaction fee? $splittedAmount = ($amount * 98 / 100) / $splitCount;

It depends what the amout is, obviously.

For "sane" amunts, it'll be way more than enough. But for corner cases (tiny amounts), it might not be enough.

But what you can do is something like:L

(wait, thinking)

Actually, it's the same as you're doing, but without the 98/100, but send N-1 amounts, and let the last one be the change.

Which... might have been what you wanted to do anyway ? :D

So if you want to split 1 monero into 4, you send 3 times 1/4, you'll get 0.25 0.25 0.25 0.249

And no dust due to that 2% tiny outout.

(instead of 4 times 0.25*98/100 and a fifth output of 0.0000x)

when a user sends a exactly equivalent amount of money to buy something, with this way waiting 10block wont be enough. User will need to wait 10(for splitted transfer) + 10 (and the last one) blocks.

But in another way, if user sends exactly equivalent, i will took his/her %2 too.. :D

And yes i will get problems with corner cases and there will be dust amounts. You are right but my workload is increasing, i need to watch a more transaction and then send last transfer at backend.

If you want to buy two things, just send one tx, not two.

That could have privacy implications though. What exactly, I'm not sure.

Or you can piggyback other txes: if you need to spend 10 to pay 3, you can always add another 2 output to yourself as well.

So instead of 10 -> 3 + 7 back (ignoring fee), you hve 10 -> 3 + 2 (back) + 7 (back).

No extra waiting. And you can have up to 16 outputs per tx.

Maybe the wallet should have an option for that kind of auto split...

can you import wallet file generated from the cli client into monerujo? i tried but the file is greyed out and unselectable. not sure if it needs a filename extension or

ought to be able to, but I've never tried it

note that the CLI generates two files: xx and xx.keys

the .keys file is the critical one

ah i noticed that, what is .keys

it stores your keys.......

:>

the other file is many megabytes, i assume it contains information from scanning the chain for transactions, which is what i figured i would try to avoid doing all over again by importing it

yes. it's called the wallet cache. it can be recreated by scanning the blockchain, it's mostly just there for convenience

but...

it also records details of outgoing txns, and those details don't exist anywhere else.

and can't be recovered from scanning the blockchain

oh, interesting

I mean, a rescan will show that a txn was sent, but other info about the txn will be gone

so maybe the import wallet feature is to import the keys file not the cache file? cache file seems more useful to bring over

without the keys you have no wallet at all

your viewkey and spendkey are what defines a wallet

they are generated from the seed phrase and you can just re enter that i thought?

yes, true

oh how about that, i put the cache and keys file in a zip and monerujo import seems to have worked

that's cool

upp: Thanks for blazing that trail so I now know that about Monerujo.

Moneruju is a pretty good wallet upp

apotheon :)

Mochi101: i wasnt sure which android wallet to try. i was about to try cake wallet as i see it recommended a lot on the reddit, but then i discovered something i didnt like about it while researching... i already forget what it was :( lol maybe it didnt have a feature i wanted like wallet import

I've never actually tried the Cake Wallet upp

Maybe I should try it one day and see how it does with a wallet with thousands of txs.
