Each time that you receive a payment from the pool is a separate output, they are not combined automatically. They are only combined when you use some of them for a transaction, which is exactly what happens in the linked transaction - it combines several outputs into one bigger output.

it is just 40 LTC i have sent to another person at once using the official litecoinclient. Title: Re: why is a transaction split up in so many parts? Post by: Meni Rosenfeld on January 02, 2012, 01:53:40 PM thanks but this transaction is not related to mining or a mining pool. And where did you get these 40 LTC? Whether you got them from a mining pool or somewhere else, you got them in several separate payments. These payments need to be combined.it is just 40 LTC i have sent to another person at once using the official litecoinclient. Title: Re: why is a transaction split up in so many parts?

let's say i have many more LTC in my wallet than 40. how is it decided, which LTC are used for a transaction? Title: Re: why is a transaction split up in so many parts?

If Litecoin is similar to bitcoin, then it will come up with a combination of coins that causes the least amount of change.
