Stackers, I would like your input on this.
Recently, I started receiving lots of tiny transactions in one of my lightning addresses, you know, those that look like an email.
When I first looked at that wallet, which I haven't done so in a long time as it's not a main one, I freaked out a bit and thought I was hacked as I saw a lot of transactions that I hadn't done.
Then I realized they were all deposits, and many expired invoices as well. The main thing about all of them is that the amount was tiny, say 1 to 3 sats each, and in the message there was text that was basically spam.
These messages were not always from a single entity, they were promoting or saying different things, say spam from company A, B, and some others from company C, etc. This led me to believe that now there is some kind of service that is providing spam through lightning addresses, just like they send spam to email addresses.
On one hand I find it annoying because it floods my transaction list with spam, but on the other hand... it's free sats, which kinda makes me think that you could make a bit of money by being actively spammed.
What's your opinion on that?
Can you do anything to block these transactions?, or on the other hand, can you do something to get more of these transactions?
