It doesn't seem so. Many have received them at cold-storage wallets--addresses that were only used to receive funds (even if only once.) And at least one person seems to have received the satoshis at a *change* address! This is someone searching through the blockchain for addresses, and possibly only targeting those addresses that have not yet spent funds (I've yet to hear of a report to the contrary.)

Bitcoin is the ultimate freedom test. It tells you who is giving lip service and who genuinely believes in it.
... ... In the future, books that summarize the history of money will have a line that says, “and then came bitcoin.” It is the economic singularity. And we are living in it now. - Ryan Dickherber... ... ATTENTION BFL MINING NEWBS: Just got your Jalapenos in? Wondering how to get the most value for the least hassle? Give BitMinter a try! It's a smaller pool with a fair & low-fee payment method, lots of statistical feedback, and it's easier than EasyMiner! (Yes, we want your hashing power, but seriously, it IS the easiest pool to use! Sign up in seconds to try it!)... ... The idea that deflation causes hoarding (to any problematic degree) is a lie used to justify theft of value from your savings.

Probably very few people like junk mail or unwanted phone calls. I think it is the same with blockchain spam. The key difference is the protocol could be changed to force the spammers to pay for it. I think it should be. At least then if you get spammed there would be some benefit.

I think every one did , its very annoying since it make the blockchain slow and you cant spend them anyway .

Many of these 1-satoshi tx do eventually confirm, don't they? They wiggle in eventually via the <100K "free" section most miners still allow?
Nope. They are non standard and considered dust spam. Unless a miner specifically writes a custom client just so they can fill valuable block space with worthless low paying garbage it will never confirm.

The QT client will refuse to relay these tx so the only it would be visible is if you had the bad luck of connecting to blockchain.info directly (who seems to relay any kind of rule violating spam garbage).

I must've gotten about 30 of them in total. They never confirm; and not that I would want to spend such reward... I wonder what would happen if it got mixed with coins you're sending. Oh well.

i got one about 2 wks ago into my Mycelium Android wallet as unconfirmed. then, just today, it disappeared ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) was wondering if it had to do with something Gavin did.

Yes, the one I received is to a plain vanilla Bitcoin-QT wallet.

They're not spendable until they confirm, which will never happen, so…

Perhaps these are markers for addresses that will eventually be blacklisted by a taint authority. Just because the reference software drops them eventually and the disappear from most people's wallets does not mean that that would be the case for a modified codebase.
I have no idea how such a thing would be helpful or implemented. Brainstorming, I could imagine requiring vendors to modify their code to keep, say, 'enjoy, sochi' markers in order to hold a 'Bitcoin license', and somehow it would be easier to identify spends of BTC which were associated with an address so marked.
IOW, it would be a light-weight marker which could be used to allow people to run stand-alone, but serve as a trigger telling users that they need to check with a taint authority for particular transactions. The taint authority could insert these markers and communicate directives to retain them. If non-authorities tried the same trick it would not matter since force of law would not require honoring them and thus they could not be used for DOS purposes (via creating excessive load.)

Solution:
Restart the Blockchain and Transactions in your wallet.
Then dust transactions are gone.

I have some reading to do, I noticed 50% of my Casascius Bitcoins I bought in November of 2011 have been given Bitcoin dust. edit* just checked and what do you know they have vanished. edit2* everyone who had a transaction show up and posted here can not be tagged ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) .

They only vanished because of a piece of code in whatever client you are looking at which forgets about unconfirmed transactions after a certain amount of time. It would be kind of a an elegant solution to be able to analyze the block chain for taint using an HPC cluster, and tag targeted addresses using a mechanism like this. And it would not be terribly onerous to force people to look for the tagging and make a ping back to mothership when they see one. If the operator wish to or are forced to honor a taint authority that is. As I've said before, I'll certainly be checking for taint and rejecting tainted bitcoins even though I personally am extremely negative about tainting for a variety of reasons. I'll even patch my system to do this if need be. I'm not going to eat a bullet for others and accept devalued bitcoins just out of some noble principle, and I suspect that 99% of those who think they will will change their minds when the chips are down. This is why I believe that tainting will work extremely well if it gets worms it's way in.
