Title: Bounty cheaters using reputed members accounts to register for bounty campaign
Post by: bones261 on May 07, 2019, 02:28:22 AM
I just read this post from someone;

How the fuck do i get involved in this BS?
Easy: anyone can screenshot any account and claim to sell it. It doesn't mean anything.

The day someone claims to be selling my account will be the day I tag an account seller!

WTF ??? Thanks for letting me know. I never registered for this campaign. I have posted in the bounty thread and let the campaign manager know by PM. This really sucks!

How does this happen? I never registered for this bounty campaign and now my account is listed on the spreadsheet. There may be others. You may want to see if your account appears as registered for this campaign. This really pisses me off. I don't think my account was hacked though.

Cheater just copies your username and profile link and registers for the bounty.
Cheater can do this with as many accounts as they want well aware that reputable members like you could never visit the bounty section to participate in the bounties
This mostly happens with bounties who managers do not emphasize proof of authentication

Bounty forms are open and anyone can fill up the form putting any name and profile link. And, that's why bounty entries is not considered as solid proof of connection (if you are worried about it).

It's a spreadsheet. Anybody can register anything they want and apparently the bounty manager doesn't care enough to verify. I bet satoshi is doing bounties somewhere too. Such is the world of shitcoining.

No need to hack your account. Anyone can use your name or any other random name to join the campaign as there is no restrictions and the bounty manager didn't even ask for an authentication post.

I'm just hoping this person doesn't use the same token address and/or telegram address and register for a signature campaign and start posting bullshit. I don't want my account linked to some bounty cheater's account. I wonder why they picked little old me? I wonder if I should actually be flattered.  :D

They might want to use your Legendary status to get more stakes. Rest assured, any decent manager would know that 'reputable members' won't spend their time bounty hunting or using altcoin sig which is not guaranteed when they'll get paid.

Well I have a history of getting involved in plenty of shitcoins.  :D I still am active in a couple. However, most of these bounties are involved in shit tokens. I have been loath to get involved in tokens since the Dao burned me. My butt still hurts bad from that one.

They won't. Fraudsters just want to take advantage of the forum rank.

And they picked randomly. It happened to me lots of times Twitter campaign, Facebook campaign, signature campaign, airdrops etc..

That's why authentication post as a proof is a must. And of course, a responsible bounty manager.

This is one good reason to not rely on campaign spreadsheets when trying to link multiple accounts together.

In your example, a scammer is most likely entering your BitcoinTalk handle, and their TG handle and their ETah address to the google doc form. However a bounty manager could also change either the ETH address, TG or BitcoinTalk handle (intentionally or otherwise) that makes it appear two accounts are connected when this may not be the case.

If you're bored, try asking the bounty manager to change the address to one you control  :P
I wouldn’t do this. That sounds a lot like scamming to me. I might let the bounty manager know you are not participating in the campaign or that you are being impersonated.

Too late since I PM'd the bounty manager to state that it is not me. Maybe next time. However, I'm not certain that I want to lower myself to participating in any fashion in a Eth token, or any other token. It looks like even tether is a shit token.

Post by: The Cryptovator on May 07, 2019, 06:51:49 AM
This isn't first time happen that kind of case. I don't what is their intention for use reputed members username or whatever. If bounty manager not verified the person then its problem of BM. I think that's why bounty managers asking for proof of authentication. If they don't check proof of authentication then why its necessary to ask?

However we don't know actually who are doing that, may be he/she used your user name and may be someone others ETH address just for abasement. Don't worry about that, I have seen someone used theymos profile for bounty. So stay cool let them do it and perhaps eventually they will end up with negative feedback's if cought by managers.

These kind of abuses happening due to the bad bounty campaign management who are supposed to see the quality of bounty participants but they never watch anything like that they will just put stakes based on the post count every week. ::)

This is why I occasionally search through the forum with some of my details that have already been made known publicly like ETH address, social media accounts, username etc to see if some bounty cheater is making use of them to earn. I did discover my telegram username was once used.

You can serve yourself some unnecessary explanation if you make you of the search button once in a while to avoid been accused of operating an alt. The bounty managers don't care that's why this guys find it easy to cheat the system.

Thanks for the heads up. I "am" there too. I've just sent a message to the campaign manager.
From what I see one could join to the campaign directly from Medium. Even on Bitcointalk there are simply links to google form. Not a basic check for who is filling the form. Obviously some are abusing it.

This has been happening for a very long time, and has nothing to do with your account. It could easily be prevented, for instance by setting up Google Docs to scrape the addy from the Location field in your profile. I've been playing around with that a while back, but didn't get it working exactly how I wanted.

There's also no need at all to post a Bitcointalk username if the bounty has nothing to do with this forum. They could just as well omit the username and only let them only spam their Telegram.

This mostly happens with bounties who managers do not emphasize proof of authentication
"Proof of authentication" is some sort of legalized bumping spam. It goes directly against the forum rules:
1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads. [1][e]
But without this bumping spam, bounty threads quickly disappear from the first page and don't get the participants they want.
There's absolutely no need to spam the same address in many different threads, that's what a profile page is for. It's very easy to scrape that and stop all account-abuse. But that requires a bounty manager who cares, which won't happen as long as they earn more from spamming more.

I'm just hoping this person doesn't use the same token address and/or telegram address and register for a signature campaign and start posting bullshit.

It's a bot!

I've managed a bounty where we had one of those automatic forms for signup and it got flooded with 20k names within an hour. It just randomly assigns an ETH address to your name and hopes that nobody will notice, lol.

I've since moved to manual applications due to this, which sucks.

Proof of authentication posts are allowed if the participants are documenting their work so long as the work is not trivial.

Campaign managers can also have participants give proof of authentication via PMs.

Yeah, but the problem is that bounty managers tend not to be reputable (at least the ICO-related/altcoin-paying ones), nor do I think they would waste their precious time verifying whether a registered member's username is actually the person who's participating in the bounty.  I'm not quite sure how someone would get more stakes just by entering a random Legendary member's name into their application.  If that's actually happening, then there definitely need to be some checks and balances in the application process.

I do not understand this kind of people, how much you have to be desperate to do something like that. It is sad if that even working for them, but that is mainly bounty managers fault. With serious managers this nearly shall not pass. But it is all good whenever you do not have any consequences because of malicious people.

Doing that will definitely limit the bounty cheaters to use your account but it cant totally stop them from using your information since you cant totally figure it all out cause you'll also need to check every new bounty campaign spread sheet for you to be sure if your information aren't use and I think doing that will be back-breaking. But, the proof of authentic post still help and I will advice the bounty managers to hire some genuine people who will make sure their bounty participants provided their own info not someone else.

I never said I approve of people impersonating others to get a bounty payout. But if someone is advertising for a company and you claim payment that you did nothing of value for, that is very wrong.

The proper course of action would be to notify the manager or the company/project directly.

Just as wrong as a Pajeet pretending to be a high rank member to get more payouts? just checking your moral compass here. Personally I think its all fucking wrong as the meetup was mentioned in Jest QS - most members are annon as you fella, its seems to me only the collectibles guys are as free with our Dox, plus some of the hardware guys

Damn I hate that part. I remembered back then when I opened the registration on my former campaign, it flooded with lots of entries.

At the same day, I received lots of PM's in Telegram and here about the unnecessary used of their forum names. I PMed each and every one just to authenticate their ETH address and did some manual checking. That was really a time consuming.

The rank of the impersonated member might not be the important thing, it's likely the cheater is just registering as many random forum handles as he find.  It's about quantity.  Obviously by picking a reputable forum member's name they are giving the impression that the quality will also be there when they fertilize Twittbook.

Can I offer my scraping services? :D
Take this account (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1755292) as an example:
Code:
					<td><b>Location:</b></td>
<td>0xEF1c6d6AE70E48030B0a0b0D97346105e94d41f7</td>
If you have a list of userIDs, it's very easy to produce a list of Eth-addresses from their profile.
All you need to do, is make it a requirement to add the addy in the Location field (many bounty hunters have that already).

Who would have thought these users would all be bounty hunters :D

I only sorted by userID, duplicate entries mean they're in the spreadsheet more than once.

It's a bot!

I've managed a bounty where we had one of those automatic forms for signup and it got flooded with 20k names within an hour. It just randomly assigns an ETH address to your name and hopes that nobody will notice, lol.

I've since moved to manual applications due to this, which sucks.

You can create a script for that. I haven't the skill to do it but if you ask to people to post the authentication post link and the ETH on the post, you can scrape it and if the data are not the same on the spreadsheet the script will automatically kick them out.

@ TryNinja Yeah, you are right...my eyes started playing tricks with me after the first 4k entries.

Well, you should be able to split the rewards with your cuz, no?  :P

Damn, I've missed quite a lot of users (in my defense I was speed scrolling).

It appears that some people/bots wanted to join the telegram or stakes portion of this bounty campaign and did not have valid bitcointalk account(s). So they just picked a user and stuck the information in the form. It appears some participants just used a random user ID, since LoyceV states there are over 2000 participants that have user ids that haven't even been generated yet. The bots can't participate in the twitter or facebook campaign without having an actual account here, because they are required to post their reports here. At least these bots are spamming telegram and stake rather than bitcointalk.  :D

I'm a poor boy myself. I wonder how many pennies I can earn if I sign up for various bounty campaigns using other people's credentials. I guess it would add up. I never have used telegram though, personally. Is it easy to just spam telegram with plagiarized and insubstantial content?

I'm not poor by global standards, but I have a mortgage on a house that I had to buy twice (never get divorced after 40,) so a little extra income is always welcome.  However, one really needs to assess what his time is worth.  I would prefer cutting my grass on a sunny afternoon for nothing gained (other than decent looking lawn,) rather than spend the same amount of time plastering other peoples names on a spreadsheet, then posting 2000 posts on social media, just to be rewarded $5 worth of shit tokens that'll take me another hour of finagling just to sell.

Before it's all said and done, you could waste an whole Sunday, and barely earn enough for a Starbucks coffee.

Before it's all said and done, you could waste an whole Sunday, and barely earn enough for a Starbucks coffee.
I suspect it might be very profitable if you have a bot that enters 4000 fake accounts. Even if a few of them get busted, and even if most of the tokens aren't worth anything, you still end up with quite a lot of money from the tokens you manage to sell at some price.

Oh gee, in addition to leaving a PM, I posted in the bounty thread and it is now on my watch list. I think that I will just unwatch and wait for the bounty manager to respond to my PM. I may direct the bounty manager to this thread to give us his perspective on this situation.

I thought I could scroll down through all these 15k entries in 20minutes
There are 2k profiles in the list with a userID larger than what's being created today. It goes up to 2445106, almost 2 million more than the highest account number.

To clarify for people who got here because of Maggiordomo (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2340148): the users in the list were mentioned in this spreadsheet:
~
Who would have thought these users would all be bounty hunters :D

I only sorted by userID, duplicate entries mean they're in the spreadsheet more than once.

Thanks for information. That is not the first time that someone sign up my account for some bounty.

I guess the bounty managers have to be stricter in approving people for bounty participation. Proof of authentication post should always be mandatory. And blacklisting some Telegram and ETH addresses linked to bounty cheating.

Those people who falsely participate in bounties can gain a lot of cash if the token gets to exchanges. For example this (https://etherscan.io/tokentxns?a=0x9617292336b588b5bb174c5e845455400d907471) one. Look at the amount of tokens recieved. It used some unactive accounts to participate in various bounties.

I was looking for a bounty cheaters like using same address, same twitter account etc.  when I found Lauda on the list and I was like "what", then I posted all my finding in the thread I mentioned above.
And the worst part was that this was just the first random bounty spreadsheet I open.
Just imagine how many are out there.
When I have some more free time I'll start hunting them again.

How does this happen? I never registered for this bounty campaign and now my account is listed on the spreadsheet. There may be others. You may want to see if your account appears as registered for this campaign. This really pisses me off. I don't think my account was hacked though.

It's a spreadsheet. Anybody can register anything they want and apparently the bounty manager doesn't care enough to verify. I bet satoshi is doing bounties somewhere too. Such is the world of shitcoining.
I think it was LoyceV (on post #4) who suggested that everyone on the forum should put up their ETH address on their profiles and that bounty managers should use only ETH address from the profile links submitted for payment when I opened this thread on it Sept 2018 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5025197.msg45451680#msg45451680. That's a plausible solution to this whole scam bounty stuff but BM aren't keying in to that suggestion and that's why this still lingers. I believe managers of the altcoin bounty campaigns are the major cause of forum spamming.

As you can probably tell by the spreadsheet, I have been away for a little.

Bitcointalk links are mainly used for communication, not necessarily verification from my past campaigns. Only in extreme cases (scammer, serial reports/offences, etc). Sorry this has gotten so many people involved. This has happened in a previous campaign, where there were thousands of telegram bots entering, one every couple of seconds into my campaign. They were all kicked in the end.

Obviously, you all haven't been hacked (unless it's something unrelated). Someone is scraping usernames for use of farming bounty tokens even though you can sign up with multiple accounts under one bitcointalk account, and I have no idea why they would.

EDIT: To stop this i'll see what I can do to put in captchas into the next form we do.

EDIT 2: I can't find a way to make captchas work without making it easy to get around, as theres no actual captcha support. For now I can make it so you require a google account, and you can only apply once. But this means legit people with multiple accounts cant apply more than once.

I've reported, I've got this answer:

Sorry, was away on a trip w/out internet. It appears someone is applying under other people's bitcointalk names, even though there is no restriction on the amount of accounts someone can apply with.

Bitcointalk accounts are used for communication and banning in subsequent campaigns, if someone wants to use other peoples, it shouldn't harm anyone, except themselves.

And my name is still on the list. So the manager doesn't care at all about cleaning up or doing something about the impersonators.
Probably in the future I may get onto certain lists of users that are not allowed to join certain bounty campaigns.

I wouldn't tag him for this, it doesn't fit the description:
Code:
Negative - You think that trading with this person is high-risk.
Personally, I couldn't care less if I'm blacklisted from spamming bounty campaigns.
I also know it's a terrible amount of work to manually go through thousands of lines in a spreadsheet, and remove the many imposters. It gets worse if they can just use the same wrong username again. That just means the campaign has fundamental flaws.

I've reported, I've got this answer:

This doesn't make sense. It's not allowed to send bulk messages based on entries that anyone can make, I haven't received any communication based on the fake entries, and blacklisting is useless as long as they can use random accounts.
A very easy fix would be if the bounty campaign doesn't ask for Bitcointalk usernames at all.

And if they insist on using Bitcointalk usernames, this offer is still valid:
Can I offer my scraping services? :D
It's very easy to make this abuse impossible.

Well, I might care of them. Indeed, it's something extremely rare, but sometimes I still try to join campaigns.

Yes, it's flawed, yes, it's a huge amount of work to fix it for everybody.
But searching for my name in a few lists and cross it out is a 5 minutes job.

Correct. And it should not be hard to also remove one column everywhere.

Cheater just copies your username and profile link and registers for the bounty.
Cheater can do this with as many accounts as they want well aware that reputable members like you could never visit the bounty section to participate in the bounties
This mostly happens with bounties who managers do not emphasize proof of authentication

I have encounter that so many times I have at least three entries scammers using his own wallet, that is why only participate in a bounty campaign, where there is a proof of authentication, or visit the spreadsheet more often to check if there is double entry of your name.
