I've tried many different variations of splitthreshold and combinethreshold and none of them work. Blocks keep getting split below the threshold, and won't auto combine when under the combine threshold. I must be doing something wrong, but the console output shows the number I set, so I don't know what the issue could be.

are you aware of balance dependance HERE ?

This is what I'm basing my calculations off of.

This feature doesn't need to be added because it's already there.
At your console prompt type: 'splitthreshold 1000' and blocks won't split any more when they are smaller than 1000.
You can choose any threshold you like as long as it is smaller then the total amount you own on that address divided by 500
So in order to use 1000 as a splitthreshold you need at least 500x1000= 500.000 HBN

As you understand, this is a perk for people who own a lot of HBN because the big wallets provide most of the safety for the HBN blockchain.

So everyone who is tired of manually combining, buy more HBN and let it handle itself. It's not that HBN is very expensive right now..

BTW, the same thing goes for 'combinethreshold 1000' to combine smaller blocks when they stake. This one goes as far as your stash divided by 250.

So what's the difference between split and combine? It seems like they effectively do the same thing.

Split is the normal thing you see when you have a block of say 5000 and you stake 200 and end up with 2 blocks of 2600. The threshold value sets a size limit on when block will be split. SO if you set 6000 as a limit and have a 5000 block stake 200...you will end up with one block of 5200 since 5200 < 6000.

Combine is more like a vacumn that sucks up small blocks below the threshhold value and combines them into a single block. I would never let my blocks get small enough to use combine so I have not seen it in action...

Total balance / 500 for Split
Total balance / 250 for Combine
