Blockchain Info - spam

I don't see why its a problem. I like the free money, if bitcoin hits a million a satoshi will be worth a cent, and you will be one cent richer because some spammers sent you some money. Its a win win situation.

The problem is this dust wont just be free money because it will cost you when you have to send a very large fee just to cover the transaction. Suddenly those free satoshis don't look so appealing.

He pays for the tx fee, I don't. When you have over 100$ in btc tx fees don't really matter to me.

does this in anyway damage the network?

Not really damage per se, but it can cause bloat and it is unnecessary. It'll also make recipients have to pay more as transaction fees, so it is an annoyance and 'damaging' in that way.

Recipients do not have to pay higher TX fees if they receive this dust spam as they can simply ignore these inputs and choose not to spend them.

I do agree that it does bloat up the blockchain and adds additional data that the nodes need to store, however this spam does provide valid and needed income to the miners

The cost (TX fee) to spend an input this small would be greater then the input therefor you would essentially not be able to ever spend such an input (unless the price of bitcoin rises substantially and average transactions sizes decrease substantially)

They should set mininum send (0.00001 BTC)
Because i don't mind spammer send at least 1000 satoshi.

But the main problem is Miner/Pool
They shouldn't process spam tx

Faucets might want to group smaller amounts into a single transaction though.
