Size wise, for example:
http://btc.blockr.io/block/info/256961
884.45 kB

I don't think there are much more options other than to pay that 1% fee or wait (A year or so? Don't know.) until they're more mature.

Big blocks yes, but big TX? 884KByte block with 3861 TX is still ~ 230 Byte per TX on average.
Bc.i lists "largest TX" [1] but they refer to value not size in bytes.
[...]

Right, how about this one: https://insight.bitpay.com/tx/e951e79d2140b1844d5058bd0f609e3939b040132a1d920ec89c55a2392ef83f

182160 bytes, close, but no cigar.  Cool

Nice find, >5k outputs, no fee paid.

Looks like the address belongs to a big pool https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/whats-going-on-at-that-address-744097

If bitcoin core can create a tx that big, would miners include it in a block? If you pay enough fees (0.0001btc/k), I can't see why miners would reject it.

On the save side, split the tx into a few smaller ones to test.

Would that even be possible? Would miners accept a TX that big?
Why not?
Miners are interested in fees per kilobyte.
And of course reducing the number of UTXO in blockchain is God's work

That is what I think as well. I have never encountered anything like that though, thats why I was asking for more inputs (no pun intended).

the most outputs number transaction is e951e79d2140b1844d5058bd0f609e3939b040132a1d920ec89c55a2392ef83f up to date
it has 5353 outputs.

sorry, i do not have information what is the maximum number of inputs now

hm.... what about the number of OP_CHECKSIG in block? you should not go upper the limits

EDIT:
It is better to create txs less than 100 kb. I do not remember right now where i got this number

Hi,

recently someone posted in the german section about problems with bitcoin-core. We figured out that the problem is the 1500 unspend outputs from faucets transactions. They have a total value of ~0.25 BTC and bitcoin-core suggestes a fee of ~0.00232 BTC for the 232000 Byte size TX. I have never seen a single TX this big. Would that even be possible? Would miners accept a TX that big?

The other idea that came up is to make a raw TX without fee in order to fuse 3-4 unspend outputs in a feeless TX. This however will take some time. Any idea how long? How many inputs should be use per transaction?

Please spare me the "see faucets suck" post, I know that allready. And while this is a very good example why, its not the point of the thread.

Any other ideas to resolve this?
