ahh ok,

previously i have tried to send a large amount of coins (admittedly with altcoins) and have received errors "Transaction To Large", when i sent smaller amounts they were sent with no problem. which lead me to believe that there is some arbitrary limit.. i am trying to compile a DB on the various characteristics of altcoins and thought this would be another neat field.

i am no C programmer but from my limited knowledge from what i see, the only restriction is possibly based on the size of the transaction? i've only been at this a couple of weeks so im just looking for confirmation whether an arbitrary value exists or if it is possible to quickly determine whether sending a large amount of coins would be successful (assuming i have the volume of coins already in my wallet).

"Transaction Too Large" almost certainly is reporting on the size of the transaction in bytes, not the value of the transaction.
