Title: A Strange Transaction
Post by: sgk on February 13, 2014, 04:09:05 AM
A couple of days ago I noticed someone sent me 1 satoshi.
While I wasn't expecting this transaction, I checked it on blockchain.info and here is the transaction: 518e3ab025c36d0ee7e3810fee23181054df454e8d374576d7574791c65e51b1

I can see the person sent 1 satoshi to numerous people. And while he sent a total of 0.00010749 BTC, the fees accounted for 0.0001 BTC and so the final outcome was only 0.00000749 BTC, way too smaller than the fees.

(At the time of this writing, this transaction has 0 confirmations, it's been couple of days already).
Why would someone be interested in something like this?

Perhaps you could read the bazillion threads on this very topic that already exist here.
