I still don't get how this is like advertising. You only get to see the address from which they are sending you the money nothing else.

There was a tag "BitSmart" on that address on blockchain.info, together with a link to their website. Not sure what happened but the tag is now gone.

I received that 1 Satoshi transaction in the deposit address from some gambling site, and got emailed about the deposit of 10^-8 BTC.

They managed to spam my email via blockchain spam.

Such annoyingness

which gambling site? lol.

Some idiot is sending 0.001 BTC with a message that says "Child Porn is awesome!"? What the fuck is this? seriously. Imagine you are running a business and you are spammed with this shit. Well, thanks for that 0.001 I guess... fucking weirdos out there lol.

Hehe, even with a standard fee attached, a lot of the spamming transactions are not getting any confirmation. It looks like the miners are doing well there.

Just ignore the small transaction amount. It is known as blockchain spam and is often used to advertise.

Blockchain bloat is an issue at the moment as it may affect the default tx fee on spends if most inputs are micro, but one would expect this to be sorted out in time

If the situation is worsen to a point that many users are having lots of dust outputs in their wallet, the need for wallet clients with coin control function will shoot up.

Spam.
Transaction costs are a method to minimize this.
Doesn't seem to be working at present.

It is because the fee is way too low for such spamming transaction.

Take 0dd3c35d3fe71effcf638bc49d15e076c6262e356eeba4368f9ea6eef2dd74b8 as an example.
The spammer sent 1 satoshi to 70 different addresses and paid 0.0004 btc as transaction fee.
So, the ad to 70 different addresses just cost him 0.0004007 btc (or equivalently $0.16).

In a few years you may be able to buy a coffee with it... Grin

lol, we know to send 1sat we need to pay fee... i dont think we can buy a coffee with 1satoshi when the fee its 10k satoshis.

These spam advertisers haven't just been sending out 1 satoshi payments though, some people got 0.001 many times... I've seen someone recieve 0.01 total from them so that will certainly get you a coffee now.

This is the future of advertising.
Just by sending 1 satoshi to everyone, you could advertise something.
We will see more and more of such spam transaction in future.
