SideShift.ai - HELP

Why did my order receive a very small deposit that I didn't send?

The Bitcoin Cash (BCH) network has very low transaction fees, usually under $0.01 per transaction. There are companies that send transactions containing advertisements inside of the transaction data:

The advertisers are monitoring the network for Bitcoin Cash transactions like in this example:

Bob creates an order on SideShift.ai from BCH to BTC

SideShift.ai assigns deposit address <code>bitcoincash:foobarfoobar</code> to the order

Advertiser sees the pending transaction in the Bitcoin Cash network

Advertiser sends 0.00001111 BCH to <code>bitcoincash:foobarfoobar</code> with a message that says "Come play at my casino. <a href="http://example.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://example.com</a>"

SideShift.ai settles the 0.25 BCH by sending BTCC to Bob

SideShift.ai <b>rejects</b> the 0.00001111 BCH (around $0.002) deposit because it would cost more than $0.50 to send a BTC settlement

- Bob creates an order on SideShift.ai from BCH to BTC
- SideShift.ai assigns deposit address <code>bitcoincash:foobarfoobar</code> to the order
- Bob sends 0.25 BCH to SideShift.ai
- Advertiser sees the pending transaction in the Bitcoin Cash network
- Advertiser sends 0.00001111 BCH to <code>bitcoincash:foobarfoobar</code> with a message that says "Come play at my casino. <a href="http://example.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://example.com</a>"
- SideShift.ai settles the 0.25 BCH by sending BTCC to Bob
- SideShift.ai <b>rejects</b> the 0.00001111 BCH (around $0.002) deposit because it would cost more than $0.50 to send a BTC settlement
   
   

Advertisers are sending very small amounts of BCH to SideShift.ai orders to promote their services. You can ignore these rejected deposits.
