Guys,

Any advantage if i gonna use sendmany over sendtoaddress?

Im planning to send payouts to many btc address so im thinking of looping to sendtoaddress OR single command of sendmany.

TIA

Sendmany creates a single transaction with multiple outputs.
Sendtoaddress would be one transaction per address.

Outputs are relatively small, inputs are much larger so using sendmany reduces the average tx size on a per output basis.

thanks for the info.

It doesn't mean as well that there will be much lesser Transaction fee?

"Minimum" fee should be significantly reduced. If you're splitting a relatively large output into many outputs, there's a much greater savings. Outside of having all the outputs linked together in the blockchain (which may be a privacy concern), I don't know of any disadvantages to sendmany... maybe messier to deal with if manually entering it into the console?
