Getting addresses isn't hard at all. I could write a Bitcoin address scraper in a few minutes, if I wanted too.

A few minutes? Base 58 would take me a few minutes to implement in of it's own.

The address to which I received the satoshi I only use in this forum, in particular in the primedice sig campaign. However, the transactions are visible to anyone through the blockchain, so that isn't much.

Ah, I was wondering who had sent me 1 satoshi last night, and why it had only been seen by 2 peers... guess this explains it. Roll Eyes

Blocks are limited to 1 megabyte per block, and miners have an incentive to only include large transactions in a block if the transaction pays a sufficient fee.  If a sufficient fee is paid, then the sender has every right to that space in the block.  If a sufficient fee isn't paid, then why would any miner confirm this transaction instead of the hundreds of fee paying transactions that they could confirm instead?
"Already know you that which you need."
Knowledge makes you keep a calm head. Your posts always provided quality information.

The blockchain is fine then.

with the block limit of 1MB and Gavin A's satoshi dust limit, any transactions that dont fit the criteria get ignored, thus no one is worried

This address too: 1SochiWwFFySPjQoi2biVftXn8NRPCSQC
Should anyone who receives a deposit from one of these addresses be worried?
No.. I would be more worried about the blockchain itself..
I'm not sure how this could harm the blockchain, even if the transaction had 1M outputs?
excessive blockchain size?

I lolled. Why should we be worried? You can sent out 1200 transactions of 1 satoshi's without a problem. If it ever confirms or get confirmed at all is the second question and the answer to that is most likely not. Almost all miners will simply ignore this transaction.

What if its a test for something bigger?  What if someone decides to try 12,000,000 transactions now..


OMG!  Or worse?!  What if somebody decides to try to send 22,000,000 1BTC transactions!

what if the blockchain begins to think for itself and pulls skynet on our asses?  


Aaaaaaaaaaand we got him, folks.  Move on.

Well let him test. The network can handle that. Ignoring 12,000,000 1 satoshi transactions is as easy as ignoring 1,200.

Just sent out 1200 transactions for 1 satoshi each.
Spam attack on the bitcoin network?

This is not the first time.
