inputs[.] [It] has nothing to do with the actual amount of BTC 1 input of 1BTC is the same as 1 unit of 100BTC
So, are you saying though that the 100
BTC would have a high fee, then?
Not if it is consolidated into a single transaction. It can be a million
BTC or 100 satoshis and it is still based on the number of transactions. If you transfer .00001
BTC that is made up of 4 transactions, it would cost 4 times the fee of a million
BTC with one transaction. It is totally strange how it works - and that is why it is important to consolidate when the fees are low (and you do not care if it takes a few weeks to get merged together into one transaction). There is nothing worse than having the market go crazy and needing to pay for something with more transaction fees than what you are trying to send due to lots of small mining transactions...
Ahh, so I must've interpreted Rifleman's answer wrong. I suppose I should've read it with the above red font changes.
