    …rune later

    This PR is an attempt to solve some of #10247 , first and foremost the case:

    // TODO: The case where there is no change output remains // to be addressed so we avoid creating too small an output

    This is resolved by always assuming a change output exists, and rebalancing that value by the fee excess, and deleting when necessary. The logic is also simpler to me.

    Note: This is a “regression” due to MIN_FINAL_CHANGE being taken out of the calculation: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10333/files#diff-b2bb174788c7409b671c46ccc86034bdL2647

    A bit confusing since the change is dropped when IsDust as before… this would be a good time to sync this behavior.

    rebased, and included logic to attempt change larger than MIN_FINAL_CHANGE when possible. In the end some cases cannot be avoided, and just-over-dust change may be kept.

    suggested new strategy: instead of “trying one more time” when change is in middle-ground, cache the current transaction, increase the amount you’re attempting to send, and try again. If you then run out of available coins, you simply return the cached version of the transaction.

    Implemented the previously mentioned idea. Instead of doing “one more try” to get acceptable change, it caches the successful yet small change transaction and slowly grows the amount of coins it grabs until it creates an acceptable transaction, given reasonable chosen inputs this will result in a transaction with change larger than MIN_FINAL_CHANGE. If it fails and runs out of coins it returns the cached transaction.

    have_cached_txn should probably be set to true here as it is never actually set anywhere

    achow101 commented at 7:28 pm on June 23, 2017:
    Shouldn’t you assign have_cached_txn to false here as it is not assiged before it is used down below?

    I don’t see how this case matters. Wouldn’t nChangePosInOut never be set to an out of range index?

    instagibbs commented at 7:36 pm on June 23, 2017:
    Caller may request a too-high change position. This is also a simple code move, not going to change this logic.

  18. cache the first transaction that has change smaller than MIN_FINAL_CHANGE
    Raise the target fee, then try again. If the wallet has insufficient funds
    to reach MIN_FINAL_CHANGE then use the cached transaction.
