Topic: How does one send 0.00 BTC ? (Read 1054 times)
Such a transaction, I believe, would have a priority of 0, since priority is the product of age and size. Thus, it would certainly need to carry a fee, unless it was produced by someone who had mined a block.
I really expected it to be Disallowed by the blockchain itself simply for "spam protection"
But yeah i can see how it could be useful

It would likely need a transaction fee attached for it to actually be mined in any reasonable time.
Could you provide an example use case?
It's used in hashcoin's payment channels protocol. Miners will need to do it in 100+ years when blocks have no subsidy (if there are no fees). You can use it for tracking an asset without tying up BTC: the asset is represented by the 0-BTC output, and sending this 0-value output to someone (also valid) transfers the asset. You can use it for storing data in the block chain without tying up BTC.
Thanks

It is legal to send 0 BTC, but the bitcoin.org client doesn't support sending such transactions. This is useful in some cases.

blockchain.info rounds to two decimal points, bitcoin has eight decimal places.
ah so it might be cut off ? so might be 0.001 ?
Yep, anything less than 0.005 would show up as 0.00

Link to the transaction? Your ID is cut off.
I suspect it's not 0 BTC, but rather just such a small number that it doesn't show up.
