A whopping 1 Satoshi! Cheesy

But in all seriousness, why would someone do this?

This happened to a lot of people recently, it can be used to track which addresses are associated with another. For example, if you send money from your wallet and it includes that satoshi in a transaction, the person that sent the satoshi knows that you also own the other sending address. A way to stop this is to send your coins through a mixer.

Check the transaction in Blockchain. It might be a signed one, with a message.

It's like an ad. Someone send you one satoshi, you look up the address, and you usually find it leads to a gambling site.

It's not bad when you get something, anything. Sure it would be a great way to advertise if there is a note in the transaction.

A lot of people received a Satoshi, as did I, but weirdly only after I posted in the thread about it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=458934.msg507444

I wouldn't agitate them. What if they retaliate and constantly spam you with Satoshis?  Cheesy

Today I woke up to see an email from Blockchain.info
"A Payment has been received into your bitcoin wallet."
A mysterious address, 1Enjoy1C4bYBr3tN4sMKxvvJDqG8NkdR4Z, had randomly decided to send me some BTC.
How many BTC did I receive from this anonymous benefactor?

But in all seriousness, why would someone do this?

I received the same amount from that address as well as another satoshi from 1SochiWwFFySPjQoi2biVftXn8NRPCSQC within a minute of that time.
