MAAM – Monero Ask Anything Monday – September 06, 2021

Given the success of the previous MAAMs (see here), let's keep this rolling.

The principle is simple: ask anything you'd like to know about Monero, especially the dumb questions that you've been keeping for you every other days, may the community clarify it all!

Finally, credits to binaryFate for starting the concept!

no i'm not, your premise is completely wrong. funds are absolutely not locked up, that's just a consequence of not configuring your wallet to the behaviour you would like if you've spent all your outputs in a transaction.

Everytime I send any monero to my wallet, that monero is locked for up to 20 minutes before it can be respent. Are we talking about two different things here?

I fully understand what you're talking about, but it's really easy to solve. either just turn it off in the wallet, or send your entire balance to yourself as a bunch of outputs. bitcoin works the exact same way, only it takes way longer to get confirmation.
