Hi, technical question, probably trivial at the eyes of most of you but...
I've done some tests with dogecoin blockchain, sending some 0-fee transactions, I suppose that testing it on dogecoin or bitcoin is the same and, instead of using bitcoin testnet, I did them on 'dogechain'.
The result is this one: http://pastebin.com/DXavsutZ

As you can see I've made a dogecoind-nftf (similar to https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/update-2015-05-10-bitcoin-core-soft-fork-no-forced-tx-fee-v0101-available-22434), so all the transactions are 0-fee, even though they're small.
The trick didn't worked with dust (0.0000001), the transactions was rejected and unavailable and unbrowsable, but worked with a small amount like 10 dogecoin.

Now, about this test, I have 2 questions:

a) Why I still have balance, once I've sent the coins out ? (of course the destination addresses and source were indexed on the same dogecoind)
b) If a transaction isn't included into a block (0 confirmations ~12 hrs later) but is available in the explorer, where is it ? In the mempool? And if it's in the mempool... the mempool has a buffer limit which prevents the dust flood, or I soiled throughout its lifetime?
