There is a thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=458934 started by people receiving 1 satoshi from addresses beginning with "1Enjoy" and "1Sochi", but I just saw two transactions for .00000001 to my wallet from this address: 1Bhv6XjXBvraivcATHwwLMscZ5xJm9FsPn

there is a link to https://bitwars.org/ next to the address, so maybe just spam from a gambling site, but it seems fishy that all these small transactions are happening around the same time. Attack on the blockchain? dusting?

Check you wallet(s), how many people have received random deposits for .00000001?

The blockchain is public.   If you've ever made a transaction, people can see your address and send coins to it.  I've had a few emails from BTC Guild users thinking that it was an error in their payout (they received 0.00000001 instead of the amount), and it was just a secondary spam transaction that somebody sent to a lot of people.

I'm not sure if that has ever happened to me before.  Most of my wallet balances don't go that many decimals, because I don't think I have any fractions of coins on any of them..

When i had e-gold, i received many one cent payments with urls. It is like advertising. If you use google adwords to advertise you have to pay more tha $1 per click. So they are trying to advertise their website using small payments.

I've received several, one is from "1Bhv6XjXBvraivcATHwwLMscZ5xJm9FsPn (Play and Win BTC )"

This isn't good advertising, in fact in one wallet it is blocking a deposit I'm trying to make.  The site scrypt.cc software isn't looking past the unconfirmed transactions.   How do we get rid of this spam?   Angry

Maybe after a really really long period of time.

We worked around the problem, they manually funded my account and gave me a new wallet.   Still it is a real pain in the butt.

I am seeing two .00000001 transactions today from an address of someone I sold something to last month.  

Scratch that, they were from 1Sochi and 1Enjoy

Thank you whoever is doing this spam!  It's a very understandable and 'wholesome' reason for tightening up some of the individual privacy and anonymity issues in future incantations of distributed crypto-currency solutions.


sig spam anywhere and self-moderated threads on the pol&soc board are for losers.

Wait, doesn't it take more to send that transaction than it is worth? Or am I wrong about that?

No. You can chose to not pay the fee and pray to the lord that your transaction will get confirmed one day.

I wonder if any of those will ever confirm and how long it will take for all of them to be confirmed.

im a little worried about this, i have sent hours ago a transaction without fee:

https://blockchain.info/es/tx/95a2f444dfe9ffd7efa3ebd53aa4069a3a53a94d62c8af4af70feb15fb2b24a4

and it´s taking forever to confirm even once. I dont usually send transactions without fee, so i don´t know how much time is normal to wait in a case like this,,, what i wonder is if all these 1 satoshi transactions can be affecting no-fee transactions somehow, adding noise and non-confirmed transactions waiting in the line, what do you think?

Damn this language.
Code:
 Tiempo Estimado de Confirmación	 4 minutos (posición en la cola 204)  
You should be fine soon enough.
