Hi Guys,

I am not sure why this happened or whats going on But on October 2nd 1:55.55am GMT+10:00

there was a transaction sent to me of 0.00000001

When I saw the outputs there were like 100 of the same transactions going to different wallets, I dont know why this was sent to me very strange.

came from this person

https://blockchain.info/address/1DGN3nsYaRsT1VLBSJQWANsuCZ99cpaEkc

MY ADDRESS IS NOT ON BLOCKCHAIN.info

I USE MYCELLIUM and the address was created from bitaddress.org

Shit I just realised once in the past i was testing blockchain.info and I did import my wallet how do I delete it from bockchain? I want to completely remove this wallet


EDIT: I did it all is good.

I doesn't matter where your wallet is. It's blockchain spam advertising for most of the time.
You can't do anything really except enjoy the free satoshis.  :P

So blockchain a so called , place that is Pro-btc is trying to flood the blockchain with shit.

Isnt this bad for bitcoin?

On another note , where the hell has andreas been lately I havent seen any new videos of him anywhere

The advertising is NOT from blockchain.info...

I have seen these lately myself... what is up with that?

Also, who is this "Unknown" miner with so many damn blocks and hashes 45% of BTC!?

http://bitcoinchain.com/pools

Something isn't right..

I'm getting a billion of these from multiple places. I ain't even mad, free satoshi.

Wow shit!!!! is this site right? where the hell did discus fish and ghash go

I ended up with 5351 sats into my P2P BTC wallet yesterday.. not sure how but. All good :)

But, I am a little worried about that one "Unknown" Miner with 45%..

Its not one unknown entity, its just all the smaller miners pooled together, with unknown ips or websites or pools.

here is what I was looking for,

this looks much better and more healthy

https://blockchain.info/pools

That looks much better! Thanks :)

Almost had a heart attack and it's only 7 am over here! :P

We will see more of such spam in the future.
More and more people will use 1 satoshi transaction to advertise/spam others.

Recently there was a dust spamming for a phishing attack.
Beaware.

crazy batshit going on right now.

look this http://mempool.info/pools
the other link is dead atm.

Lol, what BS chart is this? It shows ghash as minor pool (below 5%?), don't think it has been updated in a long while.

Here's the most reliable one (I think):

https://blockchain.info/pools (https://blockchain.info/pools)

We won't get any profit from this spam/ads attack
because when we use our bitcoin, there are more output & there will be more tx fee

You will use more bitcoin becuase stupid spam

I think you need often change address

Unknown miners are usually solo miners, anyone not in a registered pool are combined into the unknown section it is not 1 single miner but anyone solo mining and not in a pool :)

Every address that's valid is on Blockchain.info, it just displays a copy of the blockchain. If you ever made transactions on the network with the address its known by anyone who looks at any copy of the blockchain, whether it be loaded from Bitcoin-qt/Blockchain.info/blockr.io etc

Anyone can write a program that just grabs every address involved with every transaction and sends dust to them. Probably what happened to you, the only thing stopping this kind of attack is the fact that most miners will ignore transactions with small fees or no fee at all. So these dusty transactions will most likely be ignored by the network or a long while to be mined into a block.

You don't need to actually spend the inputs from this spam. If the current suggested TX fee to spend the spam inputs is greater then the inputs then the logical solution would be to simply ignore the inputs and not spend them until the suggested TX fee would be smaller then the inputs or the inputs have been "sitting" on the blockchain for long enough so that they no longer need a TX fee

Free BTC.  Can't complain

Actually I am complaining now. The TX is still unconfirmed and is messing up my output transactions, as some of the inputs are unconfirmed. Also it keeps displaying a blockchain saying some funds are still unconfirmed.

Just whats called "dust"

I think this is excellent - the viewer/user is literally paid to potentially view the advertisement.

It's interesting, I got 7 of these 0.0000001 deposits today, from: 1njdZg1Xf3V2t6P4iNuASF3TVgwxLjBMP

Hacking, spam? Who knows.

I don't understand the purpose of the 'spam' though .. no message is attached, no advertising value. It's just free satoshi. 

receive the same few days ago... unconfirmed.

I think they have bots crawling these forums and websites searching for addresses, maybe they are selling these addresses like some people sell emails for marketing purposes. I have received some of the transactions with an advertisement.

I thought it's better to ignore it.  I got 5 satoshis in 2 different addresses.
