[coinmaster222]

Isn't this the same with those Enjoy, Sochi addresses? Advertising transactions that just bloat the blockchain since they always end up being invalid?

Is anyone trying to hack my wallet?

I've had that happen which left me scratching my head as it was a wallet address I'd created, but hadn't used (different send wallet to one you've got listed).

Very puzzling.

Is there a way in Bitcoin QT to filter (block) all transactions that have "X" as a message (in this case, Laxo Trade) or block all 0.00000001 transactions?

Yup.

Indeed, it seems all of the transactions are attached with standard fee (0.0001 btc per KB) and many of them are confirmed already. But yup, these spam transactions bloat the blockchain.

Now they bloat the bitcointalk, too!  

Wait, this whole place is bloat....

yes i also can, it's just promotion and it was rubbish. they should send the 0.001 BTC

Well the point isn't to send out substantial amounts of money to people but just small amounts so they get their money's worth from the promotion. I know people who got 0.01 because they had many addresses sent to. Wish I'dve had more posted on here now hehe.

That is why I think there should be a minimum for transactions being included in blocks.

1 satoshi is nothing and will just clutter the network.

[hansom]

yes why they only send junk, why not 0.001 per person

There is already a dust output rule that transaction with output < 546 satoshi is considered non-standard and will not be relayed.
AFAIK, most of the pools won't include those transactions in their blocks.

[techgeek]

Usually people sending these amounts are writing messages for advertisement.

saying check here for blah blah blah.

The sender is "BtcSmart - Multiply your money". Spamming through blockchain. Bad way to promote their business.

The "BtcSmart" tag on the blockchain.info site has been removed.
Is it bc.i working to remove this kind of spamming advertisement?

[SnoWhite]

Dust transactions will feed strippers in the future.

[dynamox]

There should be a "spam" place in the wallet, just like for emails, and spammy transactions would appear there all in one place.

There's an addon you can have that collects spam tx'es under 0.0003 or something then donates to seans outpost. I need to find it.

[BitcoinZombie]

me too, someone sends me 1bits 0,000000001, but it takes so long to get 1 confirmation, and make all of the transaction to my wallet is unconfirmed, 3days not get 1confirm, finally the 1bits it's gone and all my transaction get the confirmation status

[FeelTheBeat]

Now I got 0.0001BTC 2 times from someone.  That is a little better than 1 satoshi.

To all those who want to have exactly even balances, please send your dust to my address:  1AV9Uq6oQKTjMurtZUx9aD3YveRapex2Lz

You don't have to include a transaction fee, I don't mind them sitting there if they don't confirm.

For those concerning about your wallet getting filled with dusts, you could use a wallet client with the coin control function and avoid using those uneconomical dust outputs.
