As far as I can remember, there was one company, (https://vivigle.com/) and this is the address that they've used: 1ViViGLEawN27xRzGrEhhYPQrZiTKvKLo

It used to spam 546 satoshis, for their promotions as analytics company. And if you look at what @Bitcoin_Arena discovered, this is interesting:


So probably this is sort of advertisement again. But I would say that it is not going to be effective because like the OP it will just confused those people who are going to get this 547 sats.




Nothing to worry though, it will simply stop.

That's the minimum amount of Bitcoins that has to be included in the output for it not to be rejected by the reference client.

In this case, they are usually used for advertisement, though normally included within the OP_return of the transaction. It's possible for them to be used for anonymity breaking attacks; consolidation of these dust to a specific address could compromise the identity of the user.

It's not beneficial for Bitcoin. It creates unnecessary spam on the network and wastes the precious space in the Blockchain. It's no doubt cheaper than traditional marketing campaigns but it is definitely not as effective and most of the coins would just go to waste.

i don't know how effective such silly ways of advertising is though because the only way people are going to hear about their nonsense services is that if someone posts about it on a forum (like this topic lol), and the topics die soon. but then again they could have easily spammed about it themselves without any cost to achieve the same goal.

I disagree though, it's not that smart if you are going to advertise in lieu of spamming the bitcoin network unless you want to hit two birds with one stone here and since I'm guessing this comes from BSV, it's pretty obvious what their true intentions are.

We can see that someone says that it is complicated and he really don't know what is this about. They better just spent their money like google ads you said or press release or something.

I still remember the huge amount of dust spam that I received in my wallets in 2012 (when I first created a Bitcoin wallet and joined Bitcointalk). It was slightly different. The spammers would send BTC0.0001 or so (back then, valued at around $0.0005 or 0.05 cents each) along with a spam message with a link to some ponzi/pyramid scheme. I used to ignore all those messages. But when the Bitcoin exchange rates rose, I was able to make a profit from these spam transactions.

It only digs SV's grave even deeper in the ground as a desperate attempt to get more people into their scammy coin. That's how effective it is, so just let them continue doing so.

Today BSV troll deletes all posts in his thread and writes a message to Theymos for help in Meta and someone spams bitcoin clockchain promoting BSV.

What a coincidence, wouldn't you say?

I wonder what Craig and his team are up to now 

nah, its just a shitcoin that will continue to exist for a long time and keep filling the pockets of certain people. otherwise we know it is a shitcoin, everyone else with a brain knows it, even those strongly backing these shitcoins know it like Ver and Wright. it's just that these shitcoins (BCH and BSV) were created for them to make a ton of money. for instance Ver increased his revenue by a lot thanks to bcash, his mining pool, the exchange, marketplace, and a lot more all started giving him more profit. same with the scammer Wright.

the day these shitcoins die, they just move on to making money in another way. that's why BSV was created, the revenue wasn't satisfying to CSW so he created a new shitocin. that is why another fork is being shaped this day because some (abc team) are not satisfied with the revenue and want to create their own shitcoin.
