Enjoy Sochi? So Wladimir P. is finally making friends with the BTC network, in a weird way however
February 12, 2014, 02:27:17 PM
Same here...1Sochi and 1Enjoy

I received two today, strange. how do they know my addresses? I kept them on Blockchain wallet, is blockchain hacked?
Newsflash: there is a strict distinction between "The Blockchain" (as in, the public worldwide distributed Bitcoin ledger) and "Blockchain.info", some website that offers Bitcoin-related services, including an online wallet.ANY Bitcoin transaction that has ever been used in a transaction, is by definition included in the Blockchain, and thus visible to anyone. Of course only its existence and its balance is visible, not its owner.

There is a thread here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/enjoy-458934 started by people receiving 1 satoshi from addresses beginning with "1Enjoy" and "1Sochi", but I just saw two transactions for .00000001 to my wallet from this address: 1Bhv6XjXBvraivcATHwwLMscZ5xJm9FsPn
there is a link to https://bitwars.org/ next to the address, so maybe just spam from a gambling site, but it seems fishy that all these small transactions are happening around the same time. Attack on the blockchain? dusting?
Check you wallet(s), how many people have received random deposits for .00000001?

Check you wallet(s), how many people have received random deposits for .00000001?
and how many people have had their bitcoins stolen form their wallet only leaving behind .00000001?
just wondering that's all.

I have a cold storage address which has received 2 of these transactions but are still unconfirmed. It would be interesting to know where the address was made public.
Does the cold-storage address have any other (confirmed) funds in it? If so, the address is on the public blockchain.
Ahh yes. I should think before I post.

Had this happen twice in the last 24 hours. Neither transaction was ever confirmed and eventually they were deleted. Original simultaneous intended transactions were dramatically slower than normal, though not sure it had anything to do with the spam sends.
Had a mysterious double spend that failed and eventually went away as well...thinking it was part of the transaction malleability nonsense that's been going on.

You know what is (probably) really fucked about this?
Native bitcoind (as of 8.??) will allow me to spend my funds as soon as the blockchain has caught up with the inputs. This is critical to me since I downloading the whole blockchain takes more than a whole month of my traffic quota and I pay $80/month for it.
Currently if I want to crack open a 2011 deep storage wallet contents I can still start from scratch and be going in a couple hours at worst.
I'll bet that this dust spam is going to ruin my ability here. Whoever did this is now officially on my shit list. I'll take a significant interest in seeing them suffer if the opportunity arises.
You aren't the only one that was hurt by this crap!
I'm contemplating offering a reward for the highest quality DOXing that anyone can turn up within a certain timeframe.

I had a transaction from Coinbase that was stuck for 21 hours and when through to the wallet that was spammed with the 1 Santoshi! That wallet was disconnected from my account so I have to go and ask the vender to credit my account manually! Their software won't work with a wallet that has any unconfirmed transactions. Royal pain in the butt all over 1 Santoshi.

By 'drain', I just mean to spend them down to zero.
So when you spend them down to zero do you spend them by sending them to yourself at a different wallet address? Would this work to keep a wallet free of spam transactions?Thank your for your help!
Yes, when I break open a deep storage wallet, it is for the purposes of using the BTC. I send them off to some combination of the exchanges I use (only Coinbase at the moment) and an on-line wallet service that I use (only blockchain.info at the moment.) This helps me hedge my bets against loss since I normally string my sales out a bit.
I don't know enough about exactly what is going on yet to comment on the what effect leaving the dust out of a spend would have.
I actually don't have much reason other than philosophical ones to avoid whatever tracking might be being undertaken. Almost all of my BTC came from Tradehill back in the day but for one I got from e-bay and a few from whatever-it-was.eu back in the first few weeks of my interest in the solution. It pisses me off royally though that someone is doing this (to me...it wouldn't bother me nearly as much if it just happened to others
)If nothing else, I now have a good and personal reason to look toward whatever solutions promote privacy.

Will I still be able to receive funds to a wallet that has this unconfirmed transaction, or will I need to create a new one?

Whatever. I always drain my cold storage wallets after retrieving them and I should be able to patch my client to just ignore this dust trx and throw it out with the wallet carcass.
How does one "drain" a cold storage wallet? I should probably do this in the future.
I have three of these transactions for .00000001 that are not confirming. Is there a solution posted yet as to what we should do?
Thanks

As for the methods, it is being chatted about as a genuine inclusion into the reference platform to allow some outputs to be ignored in gathering them up for a spend at the user's discretion. I won't have to take any action for until I break open one of these contaminated wallets which may be years depending on how many more of them are molested.
I also just skimmed some info about ~retep's 'dust-be-gone' script so there is probably some reference code for identifying and dealing with such spam.
I'm finally working on building a bitcoind from source out in the ether so I can adapt to things quickly or (shudder) try to dick with things a bit myself. Been putting it off for about a year now.

However their addresses have been public ever since 2011. Because p2p blockchain.

Oh ya. That.
I wonder if this is the work of the slimy pricks at Coin Validation (Mellon, Waters, Guo) in testing out their identity mapping theories or something.

I have a cold storage address which has received 2 of these transactions but are still unconfirmed. It would be interesting to know where the address was made public.
Indeed. I just checked and some of my wallets have gotten spammed also. All of these cold storage wallets were created carefully by starting up a wallet-less bitcoind then carefully wiping everything. They've been deeply off-line ever since. They would have been created and stored in Q3 2011.
I probably have checked the balances on blockexplorer back in the day.
I have created a Google spreadsheet which queries blockexplorer when it still worked and more recently blockchain.info for balances. Derived from coblee's work. I check it occasionally. It is shared with noone.
