Title: I am receiving 0.00000005 BTC approximately once per day without My approval Post by: refaelsh on March 07, 2013, 01:15:41 PM I hope it is the right forum for this question.
It started approximately a week ago. My wallet is on blockchain.info. Once per day approximately, I would receive 0.00000005 BTC. I don't know who is sending, I don't know why. It started happening all of a sudden. Any ideas what can it be?

Yes, I am sure.I do in fact visit many of such sites on a daily basis, but: 1. None of them pays such low amounts. I've checked. 2. This started happening a week ago.

Ahh, OK, well, to be honest I don't know what it is, none of those addresses have tags or show up in Google, but I occasionally receive small amounts of BTC and have no clue where it comes from and I'm sure it happens to other people as well, It's only a small amount (less than $0.01) so I'm sure its safe to spend it, it's nothing to worry about.

Where did you give out that address? For instance if you registered a "change address" on Bitcoin-OTC that would be how someone got your address.

Say I send Blazr 5satoshis to his public address 1BLazrT9v82xvYFTZYn5D5zzra2gaLUQ7s. The costs for this are basically nothing. But the amount is so tiny that eventually when Blazr sends some coins, it will always be combined with other transactions, that most probably using some other address - lets say his "secret" main address. As a result his former "secret" main address is now revealed. And all this at basically no cost. Do it with most public addresses and you end up with a pretty good database. </tin foil hat> :) Title: Re: I am receiving 0.00000005 BTC approximately once per day without My approval Post by: Blazr on March 07, 2013, 01:58:20 PM A method like this can be used to identify user accounts.

This also doesn't work with shared wallets. I have a handy script that does this for me and compiles a list of addresses that the person may own, very handy for vetting possible lendee's ;) Title: Re: I am receiving 0.00000005 BTC approximately once per day without My approval Post by: veteranBtc on March 07, 2013, 01:59:18 PM Be happy, you gonna be rich :D
Title: Re: I am receiving 0.00000005 BTC approximately once per day without My approval Post by: marhjan on March 07, 2013, 02:05:18 PM Some (oddly motivated) people find it amusing to 'troll' people by sending tiny amounts of satoshis around randomly. There were two players on the Dragon's Tale casino who would repeatedly send 666sat and various other nonsense to people to 'bother' them. And some other players got really upset about it, I always just figured it's free money and shrugged. So it's possible that your creation of this thread is making someone very moist right now "heh heh... my plan is working perfectly..."

Title: Re: I am receiving 0.00000005 BTC approximately once per day without My approval Post by: kerogre256 on March 09, 2013, 07:11:44 PM I hope it is the right forum for this question. According to some people on this site its spam and will be baned It started approximately a week ago. My wallet is on blockchain.info. Once per day approximately, I would receive 0.00000005 BTC. I don't know who is sending, I don't know why. It started happening all of a sudden. Any ideas what can it be?
