Title: Network flood of 0.0000025 BTC
Post by: Hawkix on May 16, 2013, 05:56:58 PM
Currently, there is a network flood of very small transactions of 0.0000025 BTC being sent to new created addresses - thousands of them so far - from 1JwSSubhmg6iPtRjtyqhUYYH7bZg3Lfy1T address.

To me, it seems like these transactions will not have enough fee and will not be mined, thus not increasing the blockchain size. However, how about the size of miners pool - will it affect them somehow?

Or is this a promotional act for the "bigger than 5400 satoshi" upcoming change? ;-)
