What you did is CPFP and most of the time they end up being in the same block, because the miner mining the low fee Tx would like to compensate his loss by mining the corresponding high fee Tx as well.
I know what I did, and it's not my question. I thought child and parent tx'es can't be in same block, when I saw this I was shocked and wanted confirmal.

Anyway, locking thread for no more shitposts.

You can see this happen often when some service uses one stash of coins to process customer withdraws and moving all remaining coins to different address ready to process next customer withdraw. In one block you can see few such customer withdraws sometimes.

Anyway why would minner include the transaction with very low fee in the block when probably different miner in next block could get the loot - the subsequent transaction with above average fee...

Is this possible?
AFAIK, it's not possible.

Yes, a transactions output can be used as input for a (different) transaction in the same block. The child can not be in an earlier block than the parent though.

Hi, I've sent bitcoins yesterday with a low fee (1 satoshi per byte)
and then I've spend the "unconfirmed change" after that, (with the fee of 0.12 mbtc for the 339 byte).

Anyway, My second tx is child of the other. When I check it now, they're both in the same block.
You can see  them here: https://blockchain.info/address/1MbrqLQRukNgNuTAn4TDoZvXcy63TR9Gtg

Yes I've check on other block chain:

Is this possible?
AFAIK, it's not possible.
