### How do anonsets go down?
Whenever there are more shielded inputs than shielded outputs, the anonset goes down in that transaction. One can add up all the transactions of a block and also determine if a certian block height *increases* or *decreases* the anonset size.
Let's say Alice wants to send Bob 1 HUSH but all she has are 101 shielded outputs of amount 0.01, which add up to 1.01 HUSH. That gives her enough to send 1 HUSH to Bob and to pay the transaction fee of 0.0001 HUSH.
Her shielded transaction will have 101 shielded inputs. On Zcash and Pirate coins, the transaction will have two outputs, and therefore *decrease* the anonset by 99. This can often happen when miners get many small regular payments from a mining pool, then they spend the funds.
