received 500 free satoshi?

[Mfomo]

Woah That ain’t strange guess you might have given it out or applied for an airdrop ,well since you know the name of site it should have given you a flash back or something  to remind you of it ... careful of phishing site mate  hardly one receive a free satoshi..

Though 500 sat is not that high but since you said it was your first time and i know that kind of feeling so let me congratulate you for that accidentally transaction.

Why would you congratulate OP, from how I see it the 546 satoshi is an inconvenience to him because unnecesary outputs like these only increases the transaction size and encourages you to use a bigger fee.

The reason might be anything from the below.
1. Faucets/Airdrops/Campaigns/Bounties (Pretty good chances for it to be the reason)
2. Advertisement/promotion from some company/exchange ( I hardly think about it because it happens only on tokens)
3. Someone (probably a hacker) is targeting people who have high balance by sending them few chunks of Satoshis and then following the track

I have read about the 3rd point somewhere and if this is the reason then you might land in trouble if you don't change your address soon by using a mixing service.

It's not the third reason, on a reddit thread a user named viviglecom said they're using the satoshis to advertise and test their system.

This is the thing on my mind where these satoshis came from some sort of advertisement and some test phase.Even myself recieving some satoshis out of nowhere
but i dont know why some people do really make it a big deal and drawing up some unrealistic presumptions lick that 3 option.

i have checked my wallet and found payment of 0.00000546 BTC from address i don't know 1ViViGLEawN27xRzGrEhhYPQrZiTKvKLo.
first time i receive something like this  .
i did some google search ,turned out a site with name vivigle who sent it , i don't care if this just advertising , it's funny  ,

I say this is no joke. Because they will not send the amount of BTC without knowing your BTC address. So, I want you to recall that. You may have participated in an airdrop campaign that was paid for with BTC.

That's right, I agree with you because it is not possible for someone else to send a number of bitcoins without knowing the bitcoin address and most likely it is airdrop.

These are called Bitcoin dust transactions and if you are privacy conscious individual, you should get rid of it.

Actually he should have earned those small satoshi amounts most likely from their referral system: https://vivigle.com/site/earnings

All referral payments will be added to your Vivigle wallet automatically

No clue if he had real referrals and he's legitm or someone hacked his account and basically transfered with some sort of connection to his address.

500 sats worths only 0.2 USD now. But I can't understand why they sent you only 500 sats. It is less then transaction fee.

If that is from referals then the satoshi should only be recieve on his vivigle account's recieving address and not on his exact bitcoin wallet/address .

I know a campaign before that pays satoshi for a small task .  they pay in bulk or in batch so that the fees wont hurt that much  .  i believe op has particpated on this kind of campaign before but he only forgot .

nothing about "spam" is funny! and the amount of bitcoin you received is going to cost you more than it paid you or at the very least it is going to be a nuisance when you have to deselect that particular transaction output each time you want to make a new transaction so that it doesn't increase your transaction size.

not to mention that it is a new unspent transaction output which nodes have to have in their memory from now on for no reason!

Nothing big. Either you have to deselect when you are creating new transaction or receive some funds on that address later when you are in need of BTC. It will work, although the amount any step you take doesn't going to be worthy.

This happens to people all the time and I dont think there is a reason as to why.
Still, its not like you randomly received a life changing amount of satoshis, barely a few cents.
Sometimes I check my MEW and I have some random tokens in there but I will never use them.

Are you serious?
It's a fake site of Satoshi
It's just waste of time and nothing else I guess

In the MEW it is normal that you will received some token on your account due to most of the time your MEW address been published on the bounty campaign specially when you are joining in different campaigns here.

You may follow airdrop on the website. Congratulations for the gift you received  . It's funny, 500 satoshi means nothing.

A few months ago, a small amount of money came to many wallets, and after these wallets were hacked and they began to withdraw money. No one could understand what was happening and no one seemed to understand, but the guys lost a lot.

Well, if you got it then good but surprisingly thing is that how they get your bitcoin address? May be you do something for them. Better to ask them, and if you are not interesting on it then enjoy it. But still it is strange thing, may be some probably random then it is happened and by mistake they sent 500 satoshi in you ID. 

[Cryptoobiobi]

I have received 350 satoshi from  an unknown source before. The funny thing is that the cost of sending the BTC is higher than the value of btc sent. I think yours came from advertising adds or randomly, just as mine. Anyways,anyhow, enjoy your "free btc"

[santiPOGI]

I also got so many 120 satoshis on that month.
My wallet on waves wallet got 120 every day and sometimes twice a day.
I never registered to any website nor airdrop, i never used that wallet to be sure and honest.
That is why i am thinking who and why they are sending me, lasted for almost 2 months days.

maybe you get BTC through airdrop or other bounty, try you to remember! because it is impossible for you to receive payment without anyone knowing your BTC address. it's not funny and I once experienced the same thing as you.

it is in BTC then the sender might get the BTC thru the application of the receiver to a particular campaign, this is normal since our BTC address are published publicly meaning anyone of us can send some BTC to an address owned by someone we dont know.
