Somebody has sent me 0.00000003 BTC

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I've got 10 BTC in my blockchain.info wallet.

I just signed in to check the price & I now have 10.00000003 BTC.

I clicked recent transactions & it's a normal long number/letter BTC address but says (BitGirl - Sexy Bitcoins) at the end.

There are 3 transactions by this address, 2/3 have been confirmed.

Is this something I need to worry about?

[Scott J]

Nope, no need to worry.

They are likely trying to advertise a website or service.

You'll see people doing this with famous addresses such as the seized SR coins.

Since i am still new to this world. would that fill the wallet with dust?

One of the tips i got its to avoid receiving small amount of coins at your wallet to avoid dust.


There is something to be able to deny that kind of low payment?

3 eh? someones splashing out!

[Velkro]

this is advertisement spam, bad thing ;p but harmless

[LFC_Bitcoin]

this is advertisement spam, bad thing ;p but harmless

Not clever spamming me with 0.00000003 BTC is it?

If one day 1 BTC is 1 million USD that 0.00000003 will be worth something

Here is an example:

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Just woke up & checked my wallet.

I've had another 2 satoshi's now from somebody called 'luxotrade'

[Cboy]

They are just spamming . It is nothing to worry about.

You might want to work on your math a bit.

If one day 1 BTC is worth 1 million USD, that 0.00000003 BTC will be worth:

1 000 000 X 0.00000003 =  0.03 USD

Not many people would say that $0.03 is "worth something".

Depending on how far in the future you are talking about, inflation could make that $0.03 worth even less than it is today.  Assume that inflation causes USD prices to double every 7 years or so, and $0.03 fourteen years from now will be able to buy about the same amount as $0.0075 can buy today.

Hi, i have got something similar today, but its 0.00000001, message receipt says "Laxo Trade", i have no idea what that is. Anyone knows?

[chanz]

It's nothing just dust transactions nothing to be freaked out about
there are endless threads in Meta and this section they should make one sticky for it.

[BeginToMine]

are tey advertising something ?

[chanz]

are tey advertising something ?

They have tagged their web link with their address so it's just a cheap way of advertising.

Yeah seems it's spam mate.
I've had 2 transactions from Luxo & 3 from Bitgirl or some kind of porn thing.

If you click on the transaction they've sent the same quantity to dozens of addresses.

[FragCakes8]

No need to worry. It is nothing but just another method of advertising. Someone is trying to promote his site.

[Sonny]

It is just an annoying but harmless advertisement.
Two months ago in July 2014, someone did the same 1-satoshi spam from 1Enjoy1C4bYBr3tN4sMKxvvJDqG8NkdR4Z and 1SochiWwFFySPjQoi2biVftXn8NRPCSQC

There is nothing new, and there is no need to be worried.

[Undefeatable]

I hate dust, they increase transaction fee..
