"We've determined the Octocoin wallet WILL NOT send more than 50,000 coins in one transaction and peoples manual payouts over 50,000 coins were failing, requiring us to perform manual payouts which then required us to do a lot of work on the pools accounting back end - this gave cause to seriously consider shutting down the pool. The best remedy for us and you miners was just to disable manual payouts"

this was posted on lifeforce's info page for Octocoin. i do not see a date for the post. i wonder if that is true that the wallet transactions over 50,000 coins fail? i remember sending transactions between 20-40k but i cannot remember if i ever sent a transaction over 50k.

please keep that in mind when burning your coins if this is the case. it may take multiple transactions all tied to the same return Counterwallet address.

I know that I have transferred more than 100K at once from Bittrex in the past, but it may have been with an earlier wallet.

I do not recall anything in the code that would limit large transactions, but there could be an issue with the number of inputs that make up the total quantity being sent. If you have a lot of small transactions coming into your wallet (from mining and faucets) and then try to send them all at once, it could possibly cause an issue.

All coins have a max ~~transaction~~ block size, not in number of coins, but in bytes. The more inputs that have to be put together to make a transaction; the larger the ~~transaction~~ block size in bytes. If the transaction size creates a block that is larger than the max size, it will be rejected.

I know that is why most exchanges do not want you to mine directly to your wallet address on the exchange, as it can limit the number of coins that they can include in a withdrawal transaction because of the ~~transaction~~ block size limit on most coins.

I would think that if all of the coins were sent to the burn address from the same Octo address, it would be fairly easy (although time consuming) to get an accurate total.

I'll scan through the code again and see if I see anything...

thanks for clarifying.

So if i understand this correctly, the issue is that the exchange could not transfer more than 50k or is it the actual QT client?

QT client of the mining pool manager.
