If you want to see what it looks like when a bunch of newbie sockpuppet accounts try to pump up a thread in the most obvious way possible, take a look at this:

haha, you just described the whole altcoin community!
there is no difference between any of those throwaway newbie accounts with (Posts: 1) written under their names and those throwaway ethereum-dedicated-advertising-accounts.
if their project gets any traction all those (Posts: 1)s will turn into (Posts: 1000)

^^What's this idiot's excuse?  Learn to spell "scammer".  I'm sure you've seen the word here before, and it's not a hard one.  

What's funny is that these dirtballs think they're so slick, like sock puppetry is a brilliant new thing instead of an old & embarrassing tactic.   Last time I saw this puppet show was with MMM or some such thing.

Edited to add:  Looks like that post got nuked.  Nice job,  mods.

Better would be to start paying some professionals instead of wasting time on newbies accounts, i do not know who trust them anyway ;D. How much different kind of scams you can find here this one is evident, others are so sophisticated you do not even know that you were involved and F****** UP till the end of their game.
Red trust is best tool for those newbies accounts.. 8)

That is an army of newbies trying to promote the coin,it looks like it is provides a series of application templates and SDK and is used to create applications and they are planning big time here. :) To be frank there are a lot of coins out there which just made millions just by spending more time promoting it.

You can call that promoting the coin which they are holding or increasing the activity level. ;D

Well, they are trying, good for them... i guess. And as it was said earlier, they should've payed old-timers than using newbie accounts.

when there are a lot of newbies who are FOMOing all over the market with a lot of (total) money at hand it is obvious that any idiot scammer would start seeing a good way of making money. and it is like this for as long as altcoins existed, some of them are a more well planned scams performed by experienced scammers but some of them are dumb scams performed by people dumber than those who invest in them :D

in any case this too will pass. hopefully newbies realize this and start giving less money to these scammers so that they can disappear and give their room to some real development.
