So I'm sure most of have heard of these guys, they've been spamming the blcokchain advertising their website for the past while, but now it appears they are sending obscene messages too.

I received this transaction a few days ago:
http://blockchain.info/tx/ced51dc122eeca983c9bb76b53d74c8e45e12f66f1c07c24022cc29b78603ef7

As you can see the public note reads "Child Porn is awesome!"

I was curious to see if I could find out who sent it, so I did some sleuthing and it led me to this interesting address:

http://blockchain.info/address/19eHzRD6UYv8igtP9KsjGPn9piyEAG7QX9

As you can see, this address received 0.0495BTC from the LaxoTrade spamming address. It is much larger than the other spam transactions and unlike the others it only has 2 output addresses. This transaction was obviously not a spam one due to the large amount sent and I believe it is likely a payment to themselves.

That address sends some BTC to:
http://blockchain.info/address/1C3brKxGwSZ1vYLt1NZZr6mxjmcm3HXGqW

Then it goes to:
http://blockchain.info/address/14HShGcunv3xrZ1ku66DekhokY4b9vWetz

And finally to the address sending the obscene spam transactions:
http://blockchain.info/address/1CPxxxZkKeBYDgvX7pmiUZnMRxqELFV7Yb

So this address sending out obscene messages just so happens to be 4 hops from LaxoTrade (and 3 hops from an address likely controlled by them).

Given their reputation as a blockchain spammer I'm going out on a limb here and am going to accuse them of sending out these obscene messages. Lets hope they don't start doing this on a large scale like their last spamming attempt.

I have private messages disabled. Send me an email instead. My contact details can be found here.

I see this as a potential serious problem for Bitcoin in general. What's stops a rouge entity from tagging myriad of addresses with bogus messages unrelated to said addresses?

For instance:

Some person has the red-ass toward some up-and-coming rock star. They could easily tag any random semi-fat address as theirs, along with any subsequent addresses stemming from it with lies furthering their vitriol. Same true for politicians. FUCK ME! Especially politicians! This can get ugly, for I can now easily envision [US] laws being passed to put an end to the charade.
