Got a 1 mBTC, again.
How is this spam? Are tiny transactions like these considered to be spam?
The transactions have a public note on them, saying their website. Blockchain also has a feature to label addresses, and Laxo Trade is using an address which is labeled with their name and website.
Most importantly they are paying an appropriate miners fee therefore are essentially paying to help keep the network secure
I kinda agree with your theory, that they are helping in the long run.. so maybe they are advertising too, but at least they are paying the miner fee for the advertisements. I really dont see any harm unless there is some kind of ulterior motive. Most folks in the crypto world are smart enough to understand that HYIP's just don't work. So if we are making something out of it and there is no way they can hijack your BTC wallet, i dont really see any harm
They are not hurting anyone by advertising their services via blockchain.info, if you don't think they will provide a good service then don't use it. If you think they are running some type of scamming service then make a scam accusation.
They are helping the miners because they are paying TXs fees in blocks that are not full so the miners get more revenue then they otherwise would be able to get. The massive number of outputs they are creating has caused their "spam" to be received and noticed by a lot of people so they are getting a good amount of attention. I would approach them with caution as I would with any other business that I would need to trust my bitcoin with
Thank god transaction fees are not very low. It still doesn't seem to deter some people from spamming the blockchain.

LOL.. Too good to be true.
Laxo Trade is still spreading their BTC across wallets or they already stopped their spamming?

Could be just advertising spam.

They send out thousands of 'micro' payments to randomly selected addresses. These payments are all sent from one key and this key has been tagged with their website address on Blockchain.info. So they hope that these thousands of users will look up the payment, which most will do as they don't know where it came from, and when doing so see their website address and go to their site and possibly sign up for the services/products they have on offer.
So essentially the same as a bulk spam email going out only here there is some cost involved.

Laxo Trade seems like a HYIP, and most HYIPs only last a month or so, sometimes less, sometimes more.
It's called a Ponzi.
Take a look at Wikipedia's definition of HYIP
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-yield_investment_program
"A high-yield investment program (HYIP) is a type of Ponzi scheme,"
Either word would work.
EDIT: I agree they are both essentially the same that they are both scams and should be stayed away from
UGH!!!

Same here, and it's even worse when they just sit there as pending.
