Title: [Bounty cheating] Dutch translation plagiarized
Post by: DutchFinity on July 02, 2018, 09:03:34 AM
Harmenvanderspoel (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2128364) is cheating the UMKA translation campaign by copying a translation and claiming it as his own

On the 21st and 22nd of May I posted a Dutch translation of the UMKA bounty thread in two parts:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4077484.msg38028293#msg38028293
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4077484.msg38136393#msg38136393

This happened under agreement of bounty manager Staas:

Then on the 24th of May Harmenvanderspoel posts an exact copy of my twofold bounty thread at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4230133.0 (archive link: http://archive.is/4AtxR).

This is what diffchecker shows when Harmenvanderspoel's post is compared with my earlier post:

Harmenvanderspoel's post is exactly identical to my post (except for two translation mistakes I discovered and corrected yesterday).

According to the UMKA bounty manager Harmenvanderspoel has been claiming stakes for the copied / plagiarised work.

So it is evident that he is trying to cheat the UMKA translation campaign.

Apparently Harmenvanderspoel (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2128364) did the same with my whitepaper and lightpaper translation. Copying it and claiming stakes.

This the UMKA bounty manager emails me:
