Isn't blockchain.info the only block explorer that displays such messages? Perhaps they should remove their public note feature because of spam like this.

Or make it viewable but only if you click an extra link, so that it is barely ever seen and then only by those specifically looking for it. Still, I bet people will still waste time trying to spam the blockchain even if it's completely ineffective. Kind of like the people that craft a virus to turn smartphones and tablets into hijacked bitcoin miners despite the ridiculously low hashrate.

It is a part of an ad campaign probably run by some scammer.

thats strange, do they just random sent people btc?

yes. called advertising.

New form of marketing. They send you dust and they you go and search for the source of that dust. Very cheap and effective.

I do not know, if it is VERY effective indeed. If you know about the effect of "dust" in a account, it would most probably frustrate you more than being curious to investigate where it came from.

I doubt if I would support companies, who is spamming the blockchain and my Bitcoin address.

For it being "cheap"? ---> For sure it's cheap... but you pay for quality, and you get peanuts for this type of "blind" marketting. It's similar to these Ad spam bots... people hate it.    

No. In fact it really is very effective marketing strategy. People often do not care about 'dust' at all. You can see how faucets are popular among newbies, you can observe that people are enticed by free stuff - even if that is just fracture of dollar if its free its great. And judging how we all are talking about this advertising strategy tells me that for this company it is a win win situation.

Some IPO scams worked like that. They gave away a small fraction of the premine which enticed the recipients into buying the rest of the IPO coins. The dev usually dumped loads of coins and disappeared straight after the coin launched.

Be careful what you wish for, i have a old dust payment to my blockchain wallet that had a tx note of "child porn is awsom" on it, i even changed wallets just so i didn't have to read it anymore. There was a few post on this forum about it.

It's your lucky day!  
These sorts of things always seems to pop up from time to time, i have probably received about 0.1BTC all up from different sorts of btc advertising over the years.

And how much did you spend in fees using up the 0.1 BTC?

[pooya87]

it is the new way of advertising a scam. i received similar transactions before. they just send out dust to people's bitcoin address to maybe reel some fish in!
