Topic: IS THIS A POSSIBLE BITCOIN SPAM ATTACK?! 0.00000001 (Read 1812 times)
I thought it's better to ignore it. I got 5 satoshis in 2 different addresses.
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.
receive the same few days ago... unconfirmed.
I don't understand the purpose of the 'spam' though .. no message is attached, no advertising value. It's just free satoshi.
It's interesting, I got 7 of these 0.0000001 deposits today, from: 1njdZg1Xf3V2t6P4iNuASF3TVgwxLjBMP
Hacking, spam? Who knows.

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.
Just whats called "dust"
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.
Free BTC. Can't complain
We won't get any profit from this spam/ads attack
because when we use our bitcoin, there are more output & there will be more tx fee
You will use more bitcoin becuase stupid spam
I think you need often change address
You don't need to actually spend the inputs from this spam. If the current suggested TX fee to spend the spam inputs is greater then the inputs then the logical solution would be to simply ignore the inputs and not spend them until the suggested TX fee would be smaller then the inputs or the inputs have been "sitting" on the blockchain for long enough so that they no longer need a TX fee because when we use our bitcoin, there are more output & there will be more tx fee

Hi Guys,
MY ADDRESS IS NOT ON BLOCKCHAIN.info
MY ADDRESS IS NOT ON BLOCKCHAIN.info
Every address that's valid is on Blockchain.info, it just displays a copy of the blockchain. If you ever made transactions on the network with the address its known by anyone who looks at any copy of the blockchain, whether it be loaded from Bitcoin-qt/Blockchain.info/blockr.io etc
Anyone can write a program that just grabs every address involved with every transaction and sends dust to them. Probably what happened to you, the only thing stopping this kind of attack is the fact that most miners will ignore transactions with small fees or no fee at all. So these dusty transactions will most likely be ignored by the network or a long while to be mined into a block.
I have seen these lately myself... what is up with that?
Also, who is this "Unknown" miner with so many damn blocks and hashes 45% of BTC!?

Something isn't right..

Unknown miners are usually solo miners, anyone not in a registered pool are combined into the unknown section it is not 1 single miner but anyone solo mining and not in a pool

Lol, what BS chart is this? It shows ghash as minor pool (below 5%?), don't think it has been updated in a long while.
Here's the most reliable one (I think):

Recently there was a dust spamming for a phishing attack.
Beaware.

That looks much better! Thanks
Almost had a heart attack and it's only 7 am over here!
I'm getting a billion of these from multiple places. I ain't even mad, free satoshi.
I ended up with 5351 sats into my P2P BTC wallet yesterday.. not sure how but. All good
But, I am a little worried about that one "Unknown" Miner with 45%..
