Just sent out 1200 transactions for 1 satoshi each.
Spam attack on the bitcoin network?

This doesn't look good..
It is obviously some kind of attack...

Should anyone who receives a deposit from one of these addresses be worried?

No.. I would be more worried about the blockchain itself..

I lolled. Why should we be worried? You can sent out 1200 transactions of 1 satoshi's without a problem. Why should we care? If it ever confirms or gets confirmed at all is the real question and the answer to that is most likely not. Almost all miners will simply ignore this transaction.

Edit: The people who receive it shouldn't be to worried. It might happen that they need to pay a higher transaction fee when they receive this payment, but that's all as far as I know.

What if its a test for something bigger?  What if someone decides to try 12,000,000 transactions now..

OMG!  Or worse?!  What if somebody decides to try to send 22,000,000 1BTC transactions!

Worried?  About what?

[DannyHamilton]

Why?

Well let him test. The network can handle that. Ignoring 12,000,000 1 satoshi transactions is as easy as ignoring 1,200.

I'm not sure how this could harm the blockchain, even if the transaction had 1M outputs?

Blocks are limited to 1 megabyte per block, and miners have an incentive to only include large transactions in a block if the transaction pays a sufficient fee.  If a sufficient fee is paid, then the sender has every right to that space in the block.  If a sufficient fee isn't paid, then why would any miner confirm this transaction instead of the hundreds of fee paying transactions that they could confirm instead?

[franky1]

with the block limit of 1MB and Gavin A's satoshi dust limit, any transactions that dont fit the criteria get ignored, thus no one is worried

[VolanicEruptor]

whats the minimum transaction size then?

[Mitchell]

5430 satoshi's as far as I know.
