So \"all small coins\" should work as well as \"any small coins\" or\nam I missing something? (things like creating large transactions should\nalready be caught by other rules, right?)\n\nRegards!\nJan","summary":"📝 Summary of this message: \nThe author questions the rule requiring a fee for any output less than CENT and suggests loosening it to \"all outputs\" or \"50% of outputs.\""}
