Was there a payment made from the Kano pool for .0001 BTC @ approximately 6:18 AM EST May 29?

It was only for $0.05, but I have no idea where it came from.

It doesn't show on the "Payments" page.

Anyone else get a mystery nickel?

Let's find some BLOCKS!  Grin

I also got it, not sure why. I'll read back the thread in case it was expected.

It seems many people did.

Spammers regularly harvest addresses from block explorers and send minuscule amounts to them. This is one example and didn't come from the pool.

Really? Wow. Is there any danger from them sending coins to an account?
Thanks for the info!

Edit: What do they gain since a person cannot really tell where it came from? Is it just to verify an account is active at that address?
Very interesting.
