Title: Collect all those 0.000001 SPAM Coins for Charity Post by: Against Hunger on February 19, 2014, 05:15:07 AM Many of us have received the 0.000001 1Enjoy 1Sochi 1Spam Coins. What if we could collect these spam coins and send them to a common wallet for charity. A change could be made so any transaction under a certain amount that changes with inflation (Say < 1 cent adjusted with inflation over time) is sent to a common charity wallet. This way people will either stop abusing the process or at least use the network for real transactions.
I do understand there is value on just using 1 Satoshi for colored coins of some type but I think at least the equivalent of 1 cent per colored coin since it consumes a transaction is a reasonable request.

Average input size is ~150 bytes).
These tx will never be included in a block unless a miner designs a custom version of bitcoind which accepts these non-standard, dust spam violating, low paying garbage tx. No miner would want to do that as they take up a lot of space in the block and provide no meaningful increase in revenue. It would require custom development work, so they could include an essentially non-paying tx that increases the chance their block will be oprhaned and they lose the entire 25 BTC + fee reward. Seem likely? |
