**Note:** New accounts now **are required** to be initialized with enough
lamports to be rent exempt. Additionally, transactions that leave an account's
balance below the rent exempt minimum (and non-zero) will **fail**. This

created before this requirement will continue paying rent until either (1)
their balance falls to zero, or (2) a transaction increases the account's
balance to be rent exempt.
