Title: What's up with this block 1000 or so transactions that send only one satoshi
Post by: Rothgar on March 10, 2013, 03:32:59 PM
This block has several transactions that send one satoshi to hundreds of different addresses.

What's up with that?

Hm, could be a miner trying to spread FUD by padding blocks with their own transactions?

As the block is ~500kB large, at the very least the miner has decided to change a few rules in their bitcoind.

They all came from the same address, and all where 1 Satoshi outputs that this address received before.

Also all where send to addresses never seen before, so where probably send by the sender to himself.

Strange indeed.

Looking at the funding history of that transaction, it appears to be connected to an SD payout bot.

The newly generated coins go to many address only Luke-Jr's old pool does that.

Nope, p2pool does that too...

you can however easily check on eligius' stats and p2pool's stats if the block and/or payout addresses show up there.

I just did it's form Eligius.  The first payout address has a page at Eligius and the payout that Eligius claims is what the block has payed out to this address.

Not true, but what do the generated coins have to do with the address creating the satoshi transactions?
Have these transactions been broadcasted to the network or are they appearing in this block out of the blue? The second option might be an indication that these were generated by either the miner or somebody close to the pool/with a deal with the pool.
