I've been seeing a number of 1 sat deposits in my wallet. Thanks, I guess.

But it makes me wonder...

What stops a bad actor from spamming wallets with 1 sat deposits, to abuse or harass someone via the message field?

Seems a ridiculously cheap, low cost attack.

You wouldn't want to abandon the wallet, if others had the address cached and it could still receive legitimate transaction.

Abuse concerns are something nostr / lightning / wallets will have to address if they want serious public adoption.
