How does one know or find out when it is a good time to consolidate transactions?

I've heard others say they can control their cost by having an option or something...

... using a full core wallet will allow you to enable coin control and also select the fee.
Coin control lets you choose the actual transaction inputs so e.g. if you wanted to, you can consolidate just the pool payouts into one address.

- well to be correct you can up to 0.14.2 but I've not gone near their wallet code since that - the wallets (at home - mine and the pool) are both 0.14.2
All the mining is 0.16.0 but there's no wallets anywhere online with the pool.

However, I'd not suggest you run any wallet on a windows computer - only on a linux computer.

I'm running Bitcoin Core 16.0 on a slimmed-down flavor of Ubuntu (Lubuntu).

It takes patience/runtime to keep it synced with the blockchain, but it works great! Wink
