Title: Someone sent me a Satoshi? Post by: OpenPay on February 13, 2014, 05:26:49 PM So I have an address setup that's watch only and sends me an alert everytime there is activity on the address.
I got the message "Someone sent you 0.00". I went to blockchain.info and find this tx in my list of unspents... https://blockchain.info/tx/36cfd7cdbb778e4132e66d89fe737779ad589877f7565252ec84d76a1bb9b755 According to blockchain.info the sender looks like a company called "Play and Win BTC", which would be lovely except I never played so I'm not sure how I could have won. My immediate thought is that this is a really cheap way to advertise something, but since I don't have a link to the site I have no idea who, what or why is being advertised. This is almost really cool! Anyone who wants to advertise to me, please feel free to send as much BTC as you like to 1LE4D5ERPZ4tumNoYe5GMeB5p9CZ1xKb4V I promise to look at your site :) In the meantime what's the Play and Win BTC business all about? Title: Re: Someone sent me a Satoshi? Post by: boumalo on February 13, 2014, 05:51:16 PM Apparently they didn't send it just to you
It could be a marketing trick : technically you can get 100,000 persons to see your website for 1$! If you click on the arrow in the upper right corner after Play and Win BTC on the blockchain you will be redirected to the website Title: Re: Someone sent me a Satoshi? Post by: OpenPay on February 13, 2014, 06:29:31 PM Yeah, like I said. Send me money and I'll glad take a gander at your website :)
Going to wait until the tx confirms though :D Title: Re: Someone sent me a Satoshi? Post by: boumalo on February 14, 2014, 02:41:48 AM Yeah, like I said. Send me money and I'll glad take a gander at your website :) Going to wait until the tx confirms though :D One satoshi is (still) virtually nothing, even if hundreds of websites send you some satoshis you won't be able to send them without paying a 10,000 satoshis fee with most clients...

Someone's playing with the network. Another reason i'm short right now. Title: Re: Someone sent me a Satoshi? Post by: BiiJack on February 15, 2014, 05:43:22 AM Me too, what r they doing sending everyone 0.00000001 :)

Another reason i'm short right now. The withdrawal technical problem of Mtgox could be bigger than just a mtgox's problem cf https://bitcoinfoundation.org/blog/ But I don't think that we have to worry too much about the one satoshi sent because it is a known "problem", the satoshi received by OP was obviously sent for marketing purposes If the transaction get confirmed it could make the receiver loses 0.0001BTC in fee and complicate accounting but that's about it Title: Re: Someone sent me a Satoshi? Post by: elavenil on February 17, 2014, 11:09:23 AM MAny people received this kind of payments. MAy be a marketing trick
Title: Re: Someone sent me a Satoshi? Post by: troy112 on February 17, 2014, 11:57:40 AM i too received it. Wow a new level of marketing gimmick..
or as you said someone playing with the network. :( Title: Re: Someone sent me a Satoshi? Post by: tokeweed on February 17, 2014, 01:23:31 PM MAny people received this kind of payments.

Those tx will never get confirmed :) Do you still find it cool now? :D Title: Re: Someone sent me a Satoshi? Post by: DanielVG on February 18, 2014, 02:05:51 AM Me too, what r they doing sending everyone 0.00000001 :) What about the fee? Title: Re: Someone sent me a Satoshi? Post by: Sonny on February 18, 2014, 05:09:15 AM Me too, what r they doing sending everyone 0.00000001 :) What about the fee? The sender can easily create raw tx with 0 fee or way below min fee, and the tx will never get confirmed :) Title: Re: Someone sent me a Satoshi? Post by: troy112 on February 18, 2014, 07:58:19 AM Yea thats the main problem, it doesnt gets approved and just burdens the network. Creating problems for the network itself.
Title: Re: Someone sent me a Satoshi? Post by: DeathAndTaxes on February 18, 2014, 08:09:36 AM To spend that 1 satoshi would require a fee of ~5430 satoshis. Sound like a great deal now? It is very likely the transaction will never confirm (because no miner wants to waste space in a block for that monster tx) and thus eventually it will be dropped from the memory pool.
