Too high fee when sending dust #428

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Someone decided to donate my BTC 0.00000001.

He paid a fee of 0.00014069. The transaction was done using bitcoinj 0.9 afaik.

I'd expect a fee of BTC 0.0001, since its only a 338 bytes tx.

This is semi-expected behavior. Bitcoinj decided it needed at least. .0001, but 
when it added up coins to get there, the resulting change was less than the 
dust limit, so it was thrown away to make the transaction meet dust limits. 
This doesn't quite make sense because of #429, but it would be right if the 
output wasn't already dust.
