Is there a limit on the max number of inputs and outputs in a transaction? Title: Re: Is there a limit on the max number of inputs and outputs in a transaction? Post by: rme on July 02, 2013, 08:21:27 AM Yes, currently one transaction cannot be more than 1MB.
Thats the limit. ;) Title: Re: Is there a limit on the max number of inputs and outputs in a transaction? Post by: DeathAndTaxes on July 02, 2013, 08:55:48 AM Gotcha. Also remember since 0.8.2 any tx over 100KB is non-standard but other than total tx size limit there is no restriction on the # of inputs or outputs.
Given an input is ~150 bytes a say 400 input tx and it would still be valid and standard if total tx size is under 100KB.

The number of items in the input and output lists are specified using varint values, which max out at 264-1.
It is obviously difficult to imagine situations where that limit will matter, but it is the only limit that applies directly.

Ah good point although I agree it is unlikely that limit will be a practical one. |
