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?
There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
