I received 0.0001 BTC a week and a half ago with some spam text advertising laxotrade.com

Anyone know anything about this website?

Who's brave enough to visit the site?

Many have received payments from them. Personally received a total of 0.011 in three transactions.

At least they [Laxotrade] sent rather large amounts. I noticed another, BitSmart or something like that, who spammed the Blockchain with close on a hundred 1 satoshi transactions in one go. Not sure how many of these they did. I received four of their 1 satoshi payments but none of them received any confirmations. I only noticed them when I looked up those keys on BlockChain.info for other details.

Do not visit the site, Their was the same thread about this someone made last week, it seems like Laxotrade is spam advertising people by sending them some Satoshis. I would wager that they are trying too acquire private keys some how.

I mentioned earlier that BitSmart is also spamming the blockchain. Here is a link to their account from where they sent those 1 satoshi payments.

Over a 1,000 transactions just from this one account.

To be fair they are paying appropriate TX fees for the transactions they are sending out, and the amounts they are sending are amounts that could be spent.

I don't see how this advertising is any different then any other type of advertising. I would say that you should do a normal amount of due diligence to see if you should use their services, but I do not see any reason why you should not visit the site just because they are advertising in a certain way

I believe the bitsmart transactions are too small to ever realistically get confirmed by the network. I have seen several of these transactions while looking at various addresses on blockchain.info.

The laxo transactions have gotten confirmed and there are a number of threads on here about them sending out these kind of TXs. I personally think it is a very creative way to advertise their bitcoin related business.

The amount you are receiving from them is very small (less then a dollar per TX). The fact that you are posting here shows that you have noticed them and the fact that you posted on this thread means they get some level of publicity. As a result they will likely get some additional level of business by engaging in this kind of activity
