That is funny. It is like it is caught in a loop or something. Maybe someones bot is misbehaving. the timing looks pretty randome though, so maybe it is manual?

Anyone saw this too? seems like a serious spam attack, it doesn't stop showing up new transactions.

This person collected dust outputs from spam-attack to his address.
Now he is merging small outputs to larger ones.

Terminated.
Well I'm not sure why you would be surprised by this. We've already had spam attacks, and I expected more to come. Someone simply used vanitygen to get '1mtgox' within their address and started spamming.
Here we can see that there are only about 7.4k unconfirmed transactions so it isn't that big of a deal yet.


Update:


However, people should not panic. Just include fees that are bit higher and you're fine.

Loose lips sink sigs!
This is weird. The transactions keep coming too, for about the same amount. But it looks like the address is paying itself - I'm sure I'm not reading the site correctly, what am I missing? How do we know where the transactions from this 1mtgox address are going?

How did you stumble on this?
