Output min size is 5430 satoshis instead of 546: "The transaction must not include any outputs which receive fewer than the defined minimum number of satoshis, currently 546."

@arnuschky thanks for the report. I think the information displayed is correct---see issue #424 for how we got that value, in particular the link to bitcoin/bitcoin@6a4c196

Please let me know if you still think it's inaccurate after reading those links. Otherwise, I'll close this issue (or you can close it for me). Thanks again!

Indeed, after reading these links it seems that I've been wrong. Surprisingly, the community mostly seems to be of the opinion that 5430 is the dust threshold (and some correct this to be 5460).

Sorry for the noise.
