Here's a question. My Mycellium wallet received some of these Enjoy/Sochi spam/dust transactions for 1 satoshi each that have been going around. However, not enough fees were included in these transactions so they will likely never confirm.

If I now send an outgoing transaction from my wallet, is Mycellium smart enough to not use inputs from these unconfirmed transactions? If not then we have a denial-of-service problem because I will have generated a transaction that will be stuck and also unconfirmed.

This is exactly the behavior I saw happen in my Electrum wallet today as well (which did try to spend the input from these spam/unconfirmed transactions) and it sounds like their developers will be fixing it.

I'm about 90% certain that it tries to spend confirmed transactions first. In any case, I have been able to send bitcoins 3 times today, despite having five of those dust things in my wallet still unconfirmed.

Attending the Berlin conference... I sent quite a few too many transactions yesterday at Room77 (with my 2 unconfirmed spam transactions), the beer was good though Wink

Mycelium never spends unconfirmed transactions sent from a foreign address.
