So I have an address setup that's watch only and sends me an alert everytime there is activity on the address. I got the message "Someone sent you 0.00". I went to blockchain.info and find this tx in my list of unspents... https://blockchain.info/tx/36cfd7cdbb778e4132e66d89fe737779ad589877f7565252ec84d76a1bb9b755According to blockchain.info the sender looks like a company called "Play and Win BTC", which would be lovely except I never played so I'm not sure how I could have won. My immediate thought is that this is a really cheap way to advertise something, but since I don't have a link to the site I have no idea who, what or why is being advertised. This is almost really cool! Anyone who wants to advertise to me, please feel free to send as much BTC as you like to 1LE4D5ERPZ4tumNoYe5GMeB5p9CZ1xKb4V I promise to look at your site ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) In the meantime what's the Play and Win BTC business all about?

Apparently they didn't send it just to you
It could be a marketing trick : technically you can get 100,000 persons to see your website for 1$!
If you click on the arrow in the upper right corner after Play and Win BTC on the blockchain you will be redirected to the website

The withdrawal technical problem of Mtgox could be bigger than just a mtgox's problem cf https://bitcoinfoundation.org/blog/But I don't think that we have to worry too much about the one satoshi sent because it is a known "problem", the satoshi received by OP was obviously sent for marketing purposes If the transaction get confirmed it could make the receiver loses 0.0001BTC in fee and complicate accounting but that's about it

The sender can easily create raw tx with 0 fee or way below min fee, and the tx will never get confirmed ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

To spend that 1 satoshi would require a fee of ~5430 satoshis. Sound like a great deal now? It is very likely the transaction will never confirm (because no miner wants to waste space in a block for that monster tx) and thus eventually it will be dropped from the memory pool.
