I hope it is the right forum for this question. It started approximately a week ago. My wallet is on blockchain.info. Once per day approximately, I would receive 0.00000005 BTC. I don't know who is sending, I don't know why. It started happening all of a sudden. Any ideas what can it be?

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

I don't know how to check it. I have several addresses I used over the time but mostly I use this one: 1PhKfcoFJbgfPcCPYih1RtWJWdYkmE2p4K

Are you sure it isn't payouts from some free BTC websites?
Yes, I am sure. I do in fact visit many of such sites on a daily basis, but: 1. None of them pays such low amounts. I've checked. 2. This started happening a week ago. I did not visit new sites in the past month.

Ahh, OK, well, to be honest I don't know what it is, none of those addresses have tags or show up in Google, but I occasionally receive small amounts of BTC and have no clue where it comes from and I'm sure it happens to other people as well, It's only a small amount (less than $0.01) so I'm sure its safe to spend it, it's nothing to worry about.

That's the beauty of bitcoin. If someone wants to send money anywhere, there is nothing you can do to stop it, even if it's your wallet they're sending money to

I don't know who is sending, I don't know why. Where did you give out that address? For instance if you registered a "change address" on Bitcoin-OTC that would be how someone got your address.

A method like this can be used to identify user accounts. Say I send Blazr 5satoshis to his public address 1BLazrT9v82xvYFTZYn5D5zzra2gaLUQ7s. The costs for this are basically nothing. But the amount is so tiny that eventually when Blazr sends some coins, it will always be combined with other transactions, that most probably using some other address - lets say his "secret" main address. As a result his former "secret" main address is now revealed. And all this at basically no cost. Do it with most public addresses and you end up with a pretty good database. </tin foil hat>

This also doesn't work with shared wallets. I have a handy script that does this for me and compiles a list of addresses that the person may own, very handy for vetting possible lendee's

Some (oddly motivated) people find it amusing to 'troll' people by sending tiny amounts of satoshis around randomly. There were two players on the Dragon's Tale casino who would repeatedly send 666sat and various other nonsense to people to 'bother' them. And some other players got really upset about it, I always just figured it's free money and shrugged. So it's possible that your creation of this thread is making someone very moist right now "heh heh... my plan is working perfectly..."
Off-topic - I approve anyone sending any amount of btc to the following address

The problem with small transactions such as these is that they have essentially negative value. It will soon cost more to spend them than their face value is You know, the miners will want their fees.

Perhaps Deepbit can help you track down the sender so you can thank them? On 2012-08-01 at 20:30:57 Deepbit sent 0.04154382 BTC to 1Cun9SCKDkmyhvQxrYnbaKf9fZNqyNxCQv with transaction a1179dfd1a7e2d35a5a0f23e9123764229f4c238dd70ed4d0c9a2776e5bca05f. So they may be able to identify the entity that controls 1Cun9SCKDkmyhvQxrYnbaKf9fZNqyNxCQv Then on 2013-02-20 at 15:30:23 1Cun9SCKDkmyhvQxrYnbaKf9fZNqyNxCQv sent 0.5 BTC to 1JYvvL67LrSGCG77cy4rmpUXCFfSub4JkG with transaction 1122db1f36d48335c4fe3217188a8295724a4b948f13f5caa32fc8fd67d43e1c. If Deepbit doesn't control 1Cun9SCKDkmyhvQxrYnbaKf9fZNqyNxCQv, then they should know who does. If Deepbit does own/control 1Cun9SCKDkmyhvQxrYnbaKf9fZNqyNxCQv then they know who controls 1JYvvL67LrSGCG77cy4rmpUXCFfSub4JkG

How would this be possible? since you can't know if the previous owner really destroyed his copy of private key.
