Thank you. Are you aware of any way to find out which transaction is a payment to miners from a pool?

When I asked for specifically the transaction I mentioned, the field enough_fee is false. Is the fact that it is a mass payment from pool which allows the transaction to be confirmed despite the fact that there is no enough fees?

Miners select arbitrarily which transactions to confirm. If it was their own payout transaction, there is absolutely nothing stopping them from selecting their own transaction without paying a fee to themselves.

<p>Such as this transaction: 92088fe6b9d9c9db84d26481b80104f8ca566649a656b7aa3e67432b346cbf1c, which has over 5000 receiving addresses.</p>

<p>It is unlikely that someone would send money to that many business partners at once, let along each individual output is quite small. If that is done for privacy protection purpose, over 5000 receiving addresses is too excessive. </p>

Why does some transactions have an excessive number of receiving addresses?
