  <usd_lol> I'm a relatively inexperienced Monero user. When trying to do a test transaction I'm getting ``Transaction spends more than one very old output. Privacy would be better if they were sent separately.``. Can someone help me with the syntax for sweep_single?

  usd_lol what are you trying to do?
• 06:10
  xmrmatterbridge
  <usd_lol> I'm just trying to send a small transaction to a different wallet
• 06:11
  xmrmatterbridge
  <usd_lol> transfer <address> .1 is what is giving me that message above
• 06:11
  xmrmatterbridge
  <usd_lol> ``transfer <address> .1`` is what is giving me that message above
• 06:11
  Mochi101
  The message can be ignored.
• 06:12
  xmrmatterbridge
  <usd_lol> It asks me if I want to continue; you're saying I should pick yes?
• 06:12
  Mochi101
  To use sweep_single you need to know the key image of the output ypu want to sweep
• 06:12
  Mochi101
  yes, you can pick yes without any problems
• 06:12
  xmrmatterbridge
  <usd_lol> I don't even know what that means...
• 06:12
  xmrmatterbridge
  <usd_lol> Okay, thanks
• 06:14
  xmrmatterbridge
  <usd_lol> If you don't mind; what are the downsides to continuing with the transaction?
• 06:15
  Mochi101
  supposedly some risk to privacy
• 06:15
  Mochi101
  if you want to sweep_single you first need to do: incoming_transfers verbose
• 06:15
  Mochi101
  That will expose the key image so you can use it
• 06:16
  Mochi101
  The last long string of characters is the key image
• 06:17
  Mochi101
  You might want to type: incoming_transfers available verbose
• 06:18
  Mochi101
  if you have a lot of transactions
• 06:19
  xmrmatterbridge
  <usd_lol> Okay, I'll try that. Thanks
• 06:19
  Mochi101
  Then you can type: sweep_single 1 <long string key image here> <address to send it to>
• 06:20
  Mochi101
  the 1 denotes how many pieces you want to send it in... so you can use 1 and up to 15 pieces (may be 16)
• 06:21
  Mochi101
  So if the key image is for 10 XMR and you say sweep_single 10 <key image> <address> then the <address> will receive 10 txs of 1 XMR each.
• 06:21
  xmrmatterbridge
  <usd_lol> sweep_single 1 <key> <address> <amount?>
• 06:21
  Mochi101
  no amount
• 06:21
  Mochi101
  sweep implies the entirety of the key image
