pretty much same as HBN.
In order for a stake to split, it has be over your threshold. Your wallet will combine smaller UXTOs up to the combine threshold
How come when you issue the following commands it it returns a figure other than the one that is entered for the following example:
Comnand issued
splitthreshold 10000
combinethreshold 10000
returned result
12:10:49

splitthreshold 10000
12:10:49

{
"amount" : 325.59000000
}

What was the rational for the total balance to determine the max combine and split threshold amounts? It really doesn't make any logical sense or am I missing something here? Wouldn't it make more sense for the split / combine threshold to be independent of any of the other factors?
The point of staking is to secure the block chain. That's it! So when people make huge UTXOs, either manually or by using a large split/combine threshold then there are less blocks to stake, thereby decreasing the security of the chain.
Those with a very large balance, have to find a setting that enables them to keep the wallet running smoothly but still gives way to block chain security.
It is a fine line. I can't give out the ability to everyone to make 1 huge block and stake just once every week. But anyone can change the setting and compile their own.
