What is dust attack? I use sparrow and curious what to look for. Thanks.
per maple AI:
Privacy Degradation (Chain Analysis): This is the primary goal. By tricking users into consolidating dust with their other funds, attackers (often chain analysis companies or surveillance entities) can link multiple Bitcoin addresses together, building a map of which addresses belong to the same wallet or user. This erodes the pseudonymity Bitcoin offers.
People send you free money hoping that you use it so they can track you
Tell us simpletons what you mean ☮️
wouldn't it be better to just sweep it with a zero fee tx?
I used to get a lot of dust attacks, you're making me wonder now if i'm a target lmao
