so your theory is these are small amount accounts are a result of dust attacks? Could some be 'left over change' during a transaction that is lost/forgotten about?

Dust attacks typically use the minimum amount (546 sat), so that's quite likely. From this data, I can't count the addresses that hold a dust input and a larger amount too.

Feel free to check a few:

I only checked the last one, and it's someone who was smart enough not to include the dust in his transactions. This way he doesn't overpay on fees.
I'm now kinda curious how much was paid in fees (and how much data got added to the blockchain) because of people who included the dust in their transactions. It's a lot of data so I can't quickly get a number for this.

If wallets would start ignoring dust inputs by default, that would be great!
