Comment on Service lets you "certify" a document using the Bitcoin blockchainparent

Comments

1) Comments are enabled as a service by blockchain.info. For details on how the Genesis Block (and comment by Satoshi) was formed, look at the Bitcoin Wiki[1]

2) Coins are being sent. The Developer page says you must send at least 0.00000001 BTC. Edit: actually 500000 Satoshi.

3) Agree. So does the service. See the Developer Page[2]

5460 satoshis is the current default minimum that Bitcoin itself allows (other transactions are valid, but won't be forwarded, thus you need to hand it over to a miner yourself for inclusion in a block).
