I got this too some hour back... to my phone of all places where it's hard not to react to the coin-arrival sound.

Gotta give them credit for the creativity of spamming with vanity addresses, though. Took me a while to find this thread.

What the hell did you use to write that text? It looks so sexy.

It's a Galaxy Note phone, with the built-in pen. One thing it really rocks at is annotating when weird stuff happens, like now. You take out the pen, write what you like on the screen image you're commenting on, and hit "send" in whatever way you like - here, save to imgur. Much quicker than anything else I've used for quick WTF notes that need to be passed along.

So it's my handwriting.

According to the last 10 news posts at blockchain.info, there is a lot more to it than a penny in someones mailbox.. it seems to be a little more complicated than that

You are saying that you believe that send you a satoshi is the same thing as the ongoing DDOS attack?  There is a real attack going on which has absolutely nothing with this thread.

You are right to some extent but still .. if you receive 1000 pennies, instead of 1, your mailbox is getting problems; if you run a business then such an extremely clogged mailbox could cause serious damage even if you manage to clean them out after awhile.

If such spamming is used in a serious and malicious way, it would not really be good for BTC would it? What consumer would want to use a wallet with hundreds of such transactions in it?

Spam mail does not cause damage to my email software but clogs it up nevertheless.

I am afraid that this is the beginning of something awful. We witness the birth of crypto spamming. 

That started a long time ago , one of the reasons the minimal transaction fee was imposed.

But will blockchain.info show the public note while it's still unconfirmed?  If it does, then this is a very successful spamming technique for advertising penis growth pills.

If someone is using a vanity address they should always have to pay the transaction fee.   That would stop the spam!

There is no way of detecting if it's a vanity address.

I thought people were already required to always pay the transaction fee.

[cAPSLOCK]

Setting a fee threshold for low transactions might work.  It would have to be the same as the minimum at least.

It wouldn't. They'd just use a normal one.

Yeah , good luck finding out if it's a vanity address or not. Besides , they could easily switch to a random one. The spam will stop when blockchain.info won't be showing those messages anymore.

Now that is a great idea.

I saw on Reddit, someone linked a post from this forum where a user named "EnjoyThis" was asking about creating vanity addresses:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=301068.100

Also, can someone explain to me: (1) why are these payments not getting confirmed; and (2) is this related to the malleability DDOS attack?  They seem related since both involve unconfirmed transactions. 

Thanks.

I think they're clutching at straws with the link there.

[kodiak1120]

The guy was asking for help creating a vanity address using "1Enjoy."  That's the same as the spamming address.
