Mine doesn't say anything, it's just annoying AF.
Yep, it is indeed annoying having that altered balance, I try to take my own advice and not let it bother me.
Gladly, that stuff isn't that popular recently. If someone was to destroy my halving-funded coins, I would probably be pissed like sh*t.
Yeah it definitely slowed down once it started becoming cost prohibitive to spam thousands of addresses
I would be severely pissed as well. But there's nothing to prevent it from happening. It happened to 2 coins of mine in 2014. Nothing since. I'm sure a large portion of coin collectors have at least one "altered" coin.
Is that a big issue if someone randomly sends dust (or more) to a physical bitcoin in terms of its value to collectors?
That is a question I have been trying to find the answer to myself. I believe it really shouldn't affect the value. Note this is my personal opinion. Take a site such as uberbills for example, where anyone can obtain the full address of coins made by Casascius.
Anyone has the ability to send a single satoshi to every address on there, thereby altering all coins.
Now, does this still affect the value? ( None of this has anything to do with collectors having personal preferences that their coins are unaltered, like myself. But ultimately we cannot do anything about it if they are )
