Never received anything from them but i once received 0.0136 from an unknown address, i was happy to get it at the time but next day my blockchain wallet was hacked and i lost it along with about 0.002 of my own.
There is no way to tell if it was conected but it was strange.
Always sus on anything for free now.

Is this possible, could this be a hack, can they somehow steal bitcoins this way?? Huh

No, they cannot steal bitcoin this way. It is a way for them to advertise.

They "tag" their address by signing a message on the blockchain.info website and the tag will be available to others on blockchain.info block explorer. If you use another block explorer then you will not see this tag.

Spammer used tagged addresses list from
https://blockchain.info/ru/tags

Wow this is really cool, i never seen this before. I guess vanity addresses are not needed anymore.

Vanity addresses still have their place as the details are in the actual address. These are only tags and AFAIK these only show up on Blockchain.info.

Forgot to add, these tags are actually useless if you work with a HD wallet as your address keeps on changing for security purposes, that is unless you keep on using a single key which is not recommended.

No personally i havent received any bitcoins from them. Maybe they did mistake on typing address?

We need a place like craigslist has for the funniest posts on bitcointalk.

Please tell me how you can make a mistake on typing an address. Ask yourself how many people input each and every character case sensitive when they send coins, a simple copy and paste would never have a mistake in it.

Just saying LOL

And if you do make a typo and the resulting string even ends up being a valid Bitcoin address, it is highly unlikely anyone controls the private key.

Anyone who receives such micro-transactions is actually incurring a loss. The blockchain size of the recipient Bitcoin wallet will increase, thereby increasing the default transaction fee. If someone gets 10 similar transactions worth BTC0.0001 in total (BTC0.00001 * 10), he might be paying BTC0.001 or BTC0.002 extra in transaction fee the next time.

It's just free advertising spam, and you're giving it even more now lol. It's nothing to worry about just ignore it.

It's not exactly free, is it now?

It usually is because they tend to send dust with no fee so it never actually confirms.

Their transactions are confirming. They are sending multiple transactions and they all seem to be confirming. Many of the addresses have not even been used before, but when you do a search of the address in google you will find a bitcointalk.org result of someone posting their address.

Yeah, maybe they have a bot crawling and collecting them from here. I got 0.00001 a couple of days ago then 0.001 today. Thanks, I guess Cheesy

. Saw some of the other mods have them as well.

Whatever you do, take care of your shoes.

I received one and saw it on my phone. I had no idea what the hell it was until I saw this.

What needs to be done is to coax blockchain.info into killing off all these stupid address tags to remove the incentive, or at least take abuse reports and retag it as spammer.

I think they might mark certain addresses as spam after abuse. I've seen a couple marked as so. Something should be done about this sort of thing though as it'll only get more prolific as time goes on.

They are probably using some kind of script to comb through posted bitcoin addresses and send funds to each of those addresses. Looking at some of the addresses they have sent to I see that many of them have never been used but doing a quick google search for the addresses come up with posts on this forum.
