Hi!

I set up bitcoin for the first time. Someone gave me 0.01 btc. As a test I wanted to send 1 ubtc. The client said:

"This transaction is over the size limit. You can still send it for a fee of 0.0005, which goes to the nodes that process your transaction and helps to support the network. Do you want to pay the fee?"

The example transaction in https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transactions has 378 bytes. I don't believe my transaction was over 10.000 bytes. Rather I believe, the fee was enforced because the output was smaller than 0.01 btc.

Please write the correct reason for the fee when asking for the fee.
