The guy was asking for help creating a vanity address using "1Enjoy."  That's the same as the spamming address. 
There's also this guy, who basically confessed it was him:

ok guys, this is the last batch. took some training to get it running on high volume.

everyone who will not get any enjoysatochis today, will not get any at all. sorry for the inconvinience, and i hope you enjoy. this is a no offense attack on bitcoin.

it is an attraction and improvement attack. we are fully commited to make bitcoin stronger. 

and,,, do not waste so much energy on mining (hey, you use the power of 1-2 nuclear power plants for mining alone). it is neither green nor profitable.

lets start an adwords coin. omitting mining by feeding the coins value by advertisement revenue. and premiums for ad-free coins.

support your local bitcoin community.

If he confessed to being Satoshi would you believe him?  Grin

Not that I know of...  it seems pretty compelling based upon his question regarding "1Enjoy," and his user name.  I wonder if this is part of some spamming service where companies will pay to have some stupid message sent via unconfirmed bitcoin transactions.  From an advertising standpoint, I'm sure the ability to reach +1 million people would be desirable. 

I think it just is some sort of advertising spam. It gets people talking and it's for free.

It seems he was just online about fifteen minutes ago.  I can't seem to figure out how to search for posts by user name...  I'd like to see what else he's been discussing.

Edit:  Also, the damn time-limits on posts, search, etc. are really a PIA.   Angry   I understand the need to repel spammers, but waiting six minutes between posts is just ridiculous.

It goes down the more activity you get.

Oh haha. I thought people were just being cyber detectives and assuming that he was the guy because of his name  Grin. Has anyone asked him?

I saw on Reddit, someone linked a post from this forum where a user named "EnjoyThis" was asking about creating vanity addresses:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=301068.100

Also, can someone explain to me: (1) why are these payments not getting confirmed; and (2) is this related to the malleability DDOS attack?  They seem related since both involve unconfirmed transactions. 

Thanks.

The payment are not getting confirmed because of the large transactions size (in kb) and the 0 fee.

According to the last 10 news posts at blockchain.info, there is a lot more to it than a penny in someones mailbox.. it seems to be a little more complicated than that

You are saying that you believe that send you a satoshi is the same thing as the ongoing DDOS attack?  There is a real attack going on which has absolutely nothing with this thread.

You are right to some extent but still .. if you receive 1000 pennies, instead of 1, your mailbox is getting problems; if you run a business then such an extremely clogged mailbox could cause serious damage even if you manage to clean them out after awhile.

If such spamming is used in a serious and malicious way, it would not really be good for BTC would it? What consumer would want to use a wallet with hundreds of such transactions in it?

Spam mail does not cause damage to my email software but clogs it up nevertheless.

I am afraid that this is the beginning of something awful. We witness the birth of crypto spamming.  Embarrassed

That started a long time ago , one of the reasons the minimal transaction fee was imposed.

But will blockchain.info show the public note while it's still unconfirmed?  If it does, then this is a very successful spamming technique for advertising penis growth pills.  

If someone is using a vanity address they should always have to pay the transaction fee.   That would stop the spam!

There is no way of detecting if it's a vanity address.   Roll Eyes

Yeah , good luck finding out if it's a vanity address or not. Besides , they could easily switch to a random one. The spam will stop when blockchain.info won't be showing those messages anymore.

Now that is a great idea.

It wouldn't. They'd just use a normal one.

I thought people were already required to always pay the transaction fee.

nope, transactions take ages without one though.

Setting a fee threshold for low transactions might work.  It would have to be the same as the minimum at least.
