Not sure if advertising or just wasting money...

And you call yourself a professor. Grin

My theory is that it's a tracking mechanism under the guise of a pseudo-viable entity. I witnessed the same tactic before with that 1Laxo... address. Remember it!

The ruse is to make it seem like only addresses publicly available are receiving dust, for who has the time to verify if such truly were/is the case with the exception of a person that's "so isolated" as Josh Zerlan refers to me as.

1FdHCgJgy41Zyp9DFmQGVEP9TTJaLFgfFp is a BWA that had only one transaction prior to being tagged, as I contend. Click the link and see for yourselves. That address containing 1000 BTC was never published anywhere else on the internet. So, what's so unique about that address? It contains bitcoins that once belonged to BFL, then the FTC, then back to BFL. That's BFL's BWA.

I contend consider yourself fucked if you received dust from 1FactomGnNFTsTVx8jiGjcLKDpyL65GDsH to a BWA you maintain(ed) that was NOT publicly available for capture via roaming bots to distribute dust under the guise of some advertising campaign.

In case you're wondering, the 1FactomGnNFTsTVx8jiGjcLKDpyL65GDsH BWA has deposited BTC dust into other BFL BWAs to track their bitcoin movements, most addresses, again, not being publicly available. The tactic is akin to, and a lot cheaper than using marked twenty dollar bills to purchase drugs on the street while donning a wire with a dozen LEOs just around the corner at the ready to make a bust if the buy goes down.

I've just received dust from an address that seems to be linked with factom.

The transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/a1b0b0019961b7906d8982416693d5868505aa8b38f5cc13028499a5ac555c85

The dust-sender (12HDgJEGdf3Wqr3ha5iUL2r8RcPa7BnBj2) was funded by 1FactomGnNFTsTVx8jiGjcLKDpyL65GDsH.

Another IP discovery attempt? Is Factom somehow involved?

~16 minutes later...

Rampion,

Congratulations you are first person to notice / post about the little surprise the Factom team sent out today!

We purposefully sent a little bitcoin to your address from the 1Factom vanity address.

The reason the Factom team sent these bitcoins out is to recognize you as an early adopter / supporter of new blockchain technology projects. (Your address was among many on the bitcoin ledger who previous supported other community projects)

We hope you will check out the Factom Software Sale and use this bit of bitcoin to claim your first Factoid(s) and thus be able to join our community as a beta tester / early adopter.

If you aren't interested, that's cool just keep the BTC as a small tip for being an active part of the community.

You rock.

Love Team Factom

That explanation DOESN'T fit my findings.
