10.000 Satoshi got lost on the network

[bitminerunix]

I know I'm going to be crucified for this but it's my fault.

I while back (after waiting 2 weeks for Bitcoin-qt to finish sync) I transfered 10.000 satoshi (+ another 10.000 fee? wtf !!! it didn't allowed me to transfer less X(!!!) just for curiosity (what could possibly go wrong right?) and today, I tought why not using an online service that dosen't ocupy 21 FREAKIN GIGS !!! So, I stared the client today (as you guessed, not synced yet) to try and import my private key to the blockchain wallet so I could keep using the address, and thene I got the surprise, the address is no longer in my wallet!!! :| How can that be... I have another address, encrypted in the same wallet as I got the first time and with the same passphrase... Now that I want to ask is, where the hell is the other address and how the hell can I get it back...

1) Sending 10 satoshi is a non-standard transaction amount. That small amount may not get confirmed.

2) Provided you haven't erased your wallet.dat file, your private keys will all still be there.

It's not 10 satoshi it's 10.000! (0.00010000 BTC) - tha's the minimum my smartwallet let me send (and after the transaction I saw that actually it took double for the fee)
https://blockchain.info/address/1CT5UbVxfAb9GLsLeK3eqkzTR42xDWUcMH

And as far as I know the wallet is still in the directory... How can I recover the address?
P.S. I have now ideea how to use the command line

correct me if im wrong

lets imagine you had 60ksat

you done a transaction for 10ksat and it said the fee was also 10ksat.

what happens is that it sends out th 60ksat. breaks off 10ksat (of which the fee makes it 0ksat to destination and 10ksat to miners fee)
and the other 50ksat goes back to the wallet under a fresh hidden 'change' address.

you obviously know how to dump privkey. there is another command that lists addresses. you will find your 50ksat (however much you thought should be left) in a different address in that list, the change address

Please use the comma as the separator. So no matter how much you type 10.000 it's still just TEN for most of us.

Not everyone shares the same number format. Formats such as 10 000, and 10.000 are commonplace in much of the world.

Click "Help", "Debug window", "Console".
Enter "listunspent". It will show all your addresses with positive balance.
If your wallet is encrypted, enter "walletpassphrase <passphrase> <timeout>". It will unlock your wallet temporarily for <timeout> seconds.
Enter "dumpprivkey <bitcoinaddress>". It will show you the private key of that address.

create a temp wallet on blockchain and sweep your private key. You'll get your satoshi back IF it is still in your wallet.
If it never confirms, it eventually gets returned to you (previous experience)
