Yeah no random satoshis anymore, most of the payments were dust but some of them were 10 k satoshis and it helps pay for the Tx fee Smiley

Is Laxo still giving away 0.00001 BTC. I mean, like today, did someone get something from them?
I don't think so. I used to get these payments awhile ago but nothing in weeks.
I don't even want the payments, there just dust spam.

Got a 1 mBTC, again.  Grin

1 mBTC? That is quite a bit... More than a transaction fee.  Smiley

I suppose they send the BTC accordingly to bitcointalk rank/post number.
I think it is more complex then that. I have seen a hero member post 4k+ addresses and each received a same sized input that a full member received for posting one address on the same thread. I would theorize that their algorithm takes into consideration something about the thread the address is posted on among other factors. I would be interested to see any specific research that anyone does regarding how the size of the "advertisement" is deteremined

I have received such payments to addresses I have certainly never publicized (except in the blockchain of course)

Then these payments are really random. Hope I receive a few of them soon.

The transaction you get is legit. The business itself - probably not.

This is not correct. The marginal amount that you can spend with the small inputs from laxo is less then the marginal amount you would need to include as a TX fee when attempting to spend the same inputs

Enable coin control in Bitcoin Core and play around with the inputs.

As long as a transaction

1) has sufficiently large inputs or
2) has sufficiently old inputs and
3) has large enough outputs and
4) doesn't exceed 1KB in size

you can fire it off for free, even with the official client. Including this dust in such a transaction doesn't increase the fee as long as these points are met. To keep the TX speedy, you should include the standard fee, because this free TX has the risk of taking very long or not going through at all.

However, if you're paying for something and you're including the standard fee anyway, as long as the dust doesn't violate any of the points like making the TX over 1KB, it won't increase the fee and is thus essentially free.

Edit: If you follow your inputs closely, you will see they have a priority going from lowest to lower, low, low-medium etc... This seems to be a product of the input size and the input age. Also, the whole TX has its own priority, so multiple "low-medium" inputs can make for a "medium" TX. As long as a TX is "medium", it's free to send. It still needs to adhere to points 3) and 4), though.

The client is even nice enough to show in red the criteria that force a TX fee. Just play around with coin control.

Most of the TXs that are sent by Laxo are going to be much smaller then what could be used as a TX fee, in other words it will cost more to spend the input then the input is worth, essentially making the input a liability to you.

You can include these small amounts in a TX you were going to do anyway. Or if your inputs are sufficiently large or old, you can even fire off a TX with 0.00 fee and include them there.

A bit annoying/unnecessary, but hey, it's free money. Not a whole lot, but you could still use it for something, like a transaction fee.

The only way this could benefit you is if you anticipate the TX fees to overall be lower in the future and the price of bitcoin to be higher
