2 mysterious satoshi transfers from addresses enjoy, sochi.

also got it... but my adress is not public 

If your address has funds on it, or ever had funds on it, then it is public.

[ahmedjadoon]

I received the same! Great spammer

[hilariousandco]

I hope this kind of spam doesn't become widespread.

Unless the core dev decide to do something about it (like tweeking node relay rules),
I believe it will continue because it is free advertising and has proven to be very effective so far.

At the least there should be an option to set the smallest amount you can receive in a wallet, but that won't stop them from being sent. Maybe a minimum fee for dust payments.

I have a crazy theory. What if it's the NSA gleaning information as people post their tx, thus allowing them to know who you are?

2 more reasons to resent the patriotic hunger games. frankly, i don't give a satoshi.

I see what you did there.

Most people don't seem to be posting them, just saying they got them.

ALL addresses are public, as long as there is at least 1 satoshi in it or ever had a balance.

I got a random 1 satoshi deposit literally 30 minutes after I first created the address. It was 25 minutes after I made a deposit to that address.  This is getting weirder and weirder.  They must be just sitting there, or have a script to send it to any new address?

Must be a scrypt / bot then.

Bitcoin is not anonymous, the blockchain is public. All transactions are recorded in the blockchain, this is how bitcoin works. Anyone can see the balance of any address that has ever successfully interacted with the blockchain and trace back any transactions ever made with that address quite easily and also monitor that address into the future. If you have coins in your paper wallet, how exactly did they get there without being confirmed by the blockchain?

ok guys, this is the last batch. took some training to get it running on high volume.

everyone who will not get any enjoysatochis today, will not get any at all. sorry for the inconvinience, and i hope you enjoy. this is a no offense attack on bitcoin.

it is an attraction and improvement attack. we are fully commited to make bitcoin stronger. 

Assuming this is true and you are behind it, your stupid attack did cause damage.   Not everyone's software was able to handle the transactions that would never confirm and it is impossible to estimate how many hours of time were lost because of these attacks.   I almost lost .12 BTC because a vendors software couldn't credit my balance because it this.  You should only feel shame. 

and,,, do not waste so much energy on mining (hey, you use the power of 1-2 nuclear power plants for mining alone). it is neither green nor profitable.

lets start an adwords coin. omitting mining by feeding the coins value by advertisement revenue. and premiums for ad-free coins.

support your local bitcoin community.

Fine, go do that and leave bitcoin alone.

I'm sure he's trolling.

You would think they'd actually search with the addresses first, but I guess not.

I have a question about this,hopefully someone can answer it for me.
 IF I understand what ive been reading  then the Blockchain wont ever confirm these 1 satoshis payments. But what happens next? Do all the 1 satoshis get sent back to the sending addresses?
 If so,then that's free advertising. Genius!

Yeah, they'll just disappear.

[hikedoon]

 Hi hilarious and co  ,Will they really just disappear? or will they go back to the original 2 addresses where they will accumulate back up to whatever amount was originally loaded(Im assuming millions of addresses were spammed by the same 2 addresses)  and be available to be spent again?   That's what I was wanting to know.

They'll disappear from your wallet and return to the original sender.

[grifferz]

They will be available for the miscreant to spend again.

[Xian01]

Just got two dust payments from 1SochiWwFFySPjQoi2biVftXn8NRPCSQC.

They were sent to prior addresses I had used at btc-e, and an address I used previously here in the forums via private messaging.

[Sythyn]

I just received 2 satoshis in 2 separate transactions , from addresses

1Enjoy1C4bYBr3tN4sMKxvvJDqG8NkdR4Z
1SochiWwFFySPjQoi2biVftXn8NRPCSQC

which is very nice and whoever it is has obviously sent to 100's of addresses.

But what has me is this is a paper wallet address which should have never reached the internet and I am wondering where he has gotten my public address from?

could anyone help?
 thanks

Bitcoin SPAMming. I wouldn't mind receiving spam if it gave me 10 cents each time
