Good day!

Recently, I have received on one of my wallets 50 satoshis payment from an unknown address, which might be used to find out my other Bitcoin addresses if I spend them. I am using Bitcoin-Qt for the address that received the payment.

My question is the following:

Provided I keep my payments are always rounded to 5 digit can I guarantee that those 50 satoshis transaction never gets spent?

Are there any other ways to isolate these coins, maybe send them specifically to another address?

Make sure you back up your wallet regularly! Unlike a bank account, nobody can help you if you lose access to your BTC.

Never did it but using the API I would use something like:

Code:
bitcoind listreceivedbyaddress

Then:

Code:
bitcoind dumpprivkey <bitcoinaddress>

Then I would import the private key in blockchain.info or Electrum to send the rogue input somewhere else.

Possibilities:

1)Use Coin Control to ignore it:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=144331.0
Send all other coins to somewhere else, delete the wallet.dat, open bitcoin-qt again and it will create a new wallet without those coins.

1b) without Coin Control: send the amount in your wallet -50 satoshis&fee somewhere else, delete the wallet.dat, open bitcoin-qt again and it will create a new wallet without those coins. (not sure if it will not select the 50 satoshis though, but imo it shouldn't)

2) make a raw transaction with those coins

3) Use Coin Control and mix it up with some transactions where it doesn't matter if every adress is known by someone else
