It's just someone being a dick. These funds are fairly new, not from back in 2009.

This is an example of a troll.

the origin funds are from 2015.. not 2009.. so relax people it has nothing to do with 'satoshi' and is purely some weird game a person is playing..

Why 0BTC spendable?

Never seen 0 Bitcoins sent in this way. I come believe this really must have been Satoshi.

This is because it wasn't technically a transaction. He broadcasted a transaction which had a legitimate input, but a stuffed up output. It's also an OP_RETURN output, so all outgoing funds besides the fees return to the sender. It's just another way to put a message into the blockchain. You can't attack the blockchain though, as the tx takes up no space.

Just someone playing games. Most of what people said above is true when it comes to the mechanics. You can create a placeholder transaction for the fee and fill it with ever it is that you want as long as it is within the size of the code block. Nothing but a game and that does not mean that you can win or get anything, just someone playing games.

Unable to decode output address

What does that mean? Apart from the obvious.

It is an OP_RETURN output so it the output doesn't go to an address.

What happens to the coins in question then? Just stuck in limbo or what?

Here's a link to the transaction btw:
https://blockchain.info/tx/98b3338d3177c2c8ac4c062c9008a4fb5c4b9bd5c4bcabda0ab54b3204ecb288

It shows: Unable to decode output address 0 BTC
there is nothing there.
and the receive time is dec 25, 2015.
This doesn't make any sense. What is the amount of btc that someone says you can claim if you decode it?

It's a Null Data Transaction, which means there's no way to claim any Bitcoins from it. You pay a small fee to embed some data in the blockchain, but you can't add a signature script that allows an output to be spent. Null Data Transactions are allowed but discouraged.

Null data pubkey scripts let you add a small amount of arbitrary data to the block chain in exchange for paying a transaction fee, but doing so is discouraged. (Null data is a standard pubkey script type only because some people were adding data to the block chain in more harmful ways.)

Code:

Pubkey Script: OP_RETURN <0 to 40 bytes of data>
(Null data scripts cannot be spent, so there's no signature script.)

Well, it also says "Satoshi Nakamoto Hash Tube PKey" on the Output script, and some gibberish after that...

its a game like thing, if you are good enough you can actually claim the bitcoins sent, this has happened a few times before

How is this game supposed to be played? Cheesy

It contains some unsettling message.

Could Satoshi be behind this? How can we contact him? His email apparently has been hacked.
