Even then, it would be worth exactly 3 cents, i.e., enough to buy you about a spoonful of rice or flour perhaps.

On the other hand, a "spam" transaction of 5460 satoshis (i.e., the lower limit for a transaction to not be classified as non-standard) would definitely be worth a nice amount in the event of a 1 million USD Bitcoin. It would be worth $54.60, i.e., enough to pay for a bunch of pizzas or a night in a cheap hotel room.

Companies that wish to use transactions as a means of advertising should send 5,000-10,000 satoshis at a time. The extra expense would be almost negligible but at least then the people who receive these transactions might appreciate it more and maybe check the site out since they would have something nice to look forward to in the event that Bitcoin goes huge.

The advertise would have more attention, since 5500~ sats are the common minimum payout of faucets.

They could have more, at least.

Whats the point of this? Advertisement? or just trying to fuck with us or the system? Sometimes they spam with messages that are websites so they are trying to promote them, but sometimes is straight retarded senseless stuff so.. whats the deal there.

Just choose "Custom" in "Send Money" section on blockchain.info.
If you want to attach a public note to your transaction on blockchain.info, your transaction outputs need to be at least 0.0001 BTC.

Are they paying fees for those transactions?

Yes they are. The transaction spammers are paying the standard 0.0001 btc / KB fee.
Take 0e086c09d4be8641ff301a2e61fc69392d92d96aa248c1f41015542cfe8f09eb as an example, the sender paid 0.0003 btc for the 2571-byte transaction.

Advertisements. I'm always amazed how people see those transactions and immediately open up a thread, it really shows how successful those transactions really are! It's more effective than any other form of advertisement here, it seems!

Someone is spamming obsecene messages, this is getting out of control. Imagine you have kids

Monitor their computer use.  There isn't any reason for them to be on the blockchain.info site.

or you have a business and you are trying to have a profesional and serious image, then your address is spammed all over the place with obscene shit...

If you create a new address for EVERY transaction, then your customers won't see any spam on your address when you send it to them.

this is definitely not nice. There should be a way to control this. Didn't Satoshi foresee something like this happening?

Satoshi recommended that you use a new address for EVERY transaction that you receive.  Addresses are not supposed to identify a person, they are only supposed to identify a single transaction received to your wallet.  If you choose not to use bitcoin the way that it was designed and intended, then you suffer the consequences of that mis-use.

The "messages" you are talking about, is just a feature on blockchain.info.
Those messages do not exist in the blockchain ledger.

this is advertisement spam, bad thing ;p but harmless

Not clever spamming me with 0.00000003 BTC is it?

If one day 1 BTC is 1 million USD that 0.00000003 will be worth something Smiley
That will never happen, bitcoin 266 before Tuesday

I hate dust, they increase transaction fee.. Sad

As the standard transaction fee is calculated per KB (rounding up), your transaction fee would be the same for having just 1 input or 6 inputs. So unless you receive a lot of dusts, it shouldn't be a problem. Smiley
