Looks like they're sending them out to a quite a few people! Anyone have any thoughts? The warning on top of the page seems a little worrisome too, does it mean anything at all, or just ignore it?

Thanks!

I don't think that transaction will confirm.

Maybe it is the taliban, trying to link you to terrorism.

Um, why? How does unconfirmed transactions make blockchain.info unsafe? Sorry I just don't see the logic.

Do you also buy ghost insurance?  You do know addresses are public right?  

Anyone can send 1 satoshi to any address on the network (that has received a payment in the past), whenever they want and for whatever reason.

Exactly. He could just take my address from this signature and send bitcoins to it.

I'm curious to see if these transactions will confirm. I've never seen so many outputs in a single transaction before (700+).

One must have used a program of some sorts to send that many at once?

Sender randomly chose addresses to send to, wont really hurt the network unless he continues to spam

The tx is compliant, it really comes down to will any miner feel like including a massive, spammy, low fee tx.  My guess is no but nothing prevents them from doing it.  The tx will be considered free because the fee paid (0.1 mBTC) is less than the min fee required (2.7 mBTC).

Might be off topic but - when you say miner, do you meaning mining pool (and solo miners) or miners within the pool itself?

I think the miner(s) who found the block, so if a pool found it, then they'd get to choose.

Yep, and I made this topic 1 hour and 10 minutes before the thread you linked! Unless someone has invented a time machine that I'm not aware of, I'm not sure how I would've gone about reading that thread before posting this one?!

Man, how I wish people would read the forums before posting! ;D

As far as the protocol is concerned only the entity creating the block (and deciding on which tx to include) is the "miner".  That would be p2pool users, pool operators, solo miners, etc.   If you are "mining" for a traditional pool you really aren't even a miner, you are a hashpower provider.  You send the pool hashes, and they pay you for them.  You have no input, the protocol has no idea you even exist.
