Mysteriously getting bitcoins at my Microwallet.org account

[Silas James Reel]

I use an address SPECIFICALLY for faucets, and I only use it for faucets.  Mysterious BTC is showing up.

I know these are not associated with any faucet.
I never give out that address.  (No you smart***es, my sig is not my faucet address.  It's my donation one)
But hey, I'm not complaining.

it may be advertising transactions
any message?

[Silas James Reel]

no

[acs267]

no

It mostly likely is advertising, or, interest (I've never used MW, so I don't know.) I'm going to go with advertising. Probably when you were making a transaction they saw your address, of course.

According to his personal text he owns bitcoingenie so have you used that?

Do you recall what you did 2 minutes before using "the running faucet" or what you did 1 minutes after that?

What sort of wallet is that? An online one? It doesn't  look like blockchain.info, but similar. Have or can you you look at the actual addresses? If you search on the forums here or on google you might get some hits.

That is microwallet, which is not really a wallet but a micropayment cache for grouping your faucet payments.

Are you using more than one faucet?

Many of them link the address from different faucets you use to one micro wallet address. So you might see deposits being made for previous faucets you used.

Keeping an address to yourself or just for faucet payments doesn't mean people wont be able to spam it with payments. Once you use your address it's recorded on the blockchain and bots can then find it to spam you with. Happened before and it'll happen again, though those payments you recieved will most likely be just from some other faucets.

In fact, microwallet payment is offchain (until you balance reaches the min payout) and so the transaction spam has nothing to do with the mysterious microwallet payment...

It's basically a wallet which allows faucet owners to send small amount of money to the people who claim faucet without fees and the system will group them together and combine all the micropayments into one and send to your address once you reach a certain threshold. It is like a online wallet but they don't allow deposits from blockchain.

Maybe someone is using the same machine and using another faucet ?

How would they be able to distinguish any payment from Blockchain? I seriously don't get it. In that context, I guess you meant Blockchain, or you meant "...but they don't allow deposits from the blockchain." Which would be even more confusing. Since, Bitcoin is basically built-

I rather not babble on.

Apologies, I didn't phrase that well. I meant that they don't allow any deposits in Bitcoin for the users, unlike coinbase. It is just a wallet which allows users to store mini payments from faucets.

it is just advertising spam, free coins
