<p>While the smallest fraction of bitcoins currently implemented is the Satoshi (10<sup>-8</sup> BTC or 10 nBTC (nano-bitcoins)), due to transaction fees there seems to be a minimum amount of BTC to be spent that is larger than one Satoshi. What is currently the smallest amount of BTC one can spend at comparably little to no fees. i.e. what is currently the smallest sensible unit of microtransactions?</p>

I personally think that the most smallest and sensible transaction is at least 0.0001

**HOWEVER NOTE:** If you want a confirmation in 10 or 20 minutes, you will need to post a minimum transfer fee of 0.0001

**So technically** If you want to transfer 0.0001 to a account you will need at least 0.0002
