IS THIS A POSSIBLE BITCOIN SPAM ATTACK?! 0.00000001

Free BTC.  Can't complain

[williamj2543]

Actually I am complaining now. The TX is still unconfirmed and is messing up my output transactions, as some of the inputs are unconfirmed. Also it keeps displaying a blockchain saying some funds are still unconfirmed.

Just whats called "dust"

We will see more of such spam in the future.
More and more people will use 1 satoshi transaction to advertise/spam others.

I think this is excellent - the viewer/user is literally paid to potentially view the advertisement.

It's interesting, I got 7 of these 0.0000001 deposits today, from: 1njdZg1Xf3V2t6P4iNuASF3TVgwxLjBMP

Hacking, spam? Who knows.

[moriartybitcoin]

I don't understand the purpose of the 'spam' though .. no message is attached, no advertising value. It's just free satoshi.

receive the same few days ago... unconfirmed.

[williamj2543]

I think they have bots crawling these forums and websites searching for addresses, maybe they are selling these addresses like some people sell emails for marketing purposes. I have received some of the transactions with an advertisement.

I thought it's better to ignore it.  I got 5 satoshis in 2 different addresses.
