Bitcoin Microtransaction Advertisements Cause Issues for Some Bitcoin Websites

One of the newest advertisement method for Bitcoin companies is to send out free bitcoins to Bitcoin addresses, including those that belong to Bitcoin websites. It seems great; who doesn’t love free money, right? However, it’s been causing some problems for websites that require bitcoin deposits. See, these sites require confirmations on deposits. The bitcoin microtransaction advertisements generally don’t confirm, either because the advertiser sends too little, or they aren’t including the transaction fee.

Looks like spam is being to make its presence felt.
