And on top of that, he has been involved in multiple campaigns, even though the Campaign Manager made it crystal clear that using an alt account is off limits.

Pretty sure any of these would be the response.
1. That's an exchange's wallet address (points at random exchange) 2. We both sold our BTC to that guy (points at random newbie) 3. He's a close friend of mine. We pooled our BTC to have less fees. 4. He has good topics, deserves my merit 5. I only applied my alt, if both accepted, I only use one. Title: Re: Dave1 and cryptomaniac_xxx are connected, Abused merit and Sig Campaign Post by: Xiestar on November 13, 2025, 12:26:27 PM Do the exchange transfer happened at the same time? There’s a lot of P2P merchant that has telegram group to do their P2P instead of the exchange platform.
But based on evidence suggested they are most likely an alt account but I doubt the current evidence is enough to warrant a negative. If merit abused is a crime those fruit carver on Nigerian board should have a negative trust. Including the OP of this thread for being a most probably purchased account that is not allowed in the forum.

I don't think he could reply here beyond this , this is a failed attempt to save himself. I believe he has many more alt accounts in various campaigns. I also didn't have time to search much, but I will do that later. But I was suddenly looking at the spreadsheet of the Duelbits campaign, and his wallet change came to mind. He was changing it via private message. That's why his address couldn't be traced on Ninjastic. That's his trick! And the merit he is abusing so badly is why he is easily identified.

Did they join and participate in the same campaign or no?
I can see potential connection with bitcoin addresses and merit exchange, but I see them in different campaigns now. Another similarity I see is that both accounts are writing mostly in same boards, that can be seen on Ninjastic website: https://ninjastic.space/user/id/1143990 https://ninjastic.space/user/id/2789889 Title: Re: Dave1 and cryptomaniac_xxx are connected, Abused merit and Sig Campaign Post by: The Sceptical Chymist on November 13, 2025, 11:11:16 PM If merit abused is a crime those fruit carver on Nigerian board should have a negative trust. Including the OP of this thread for being a most probably purchased account that is not allowed in the forum. Fruit carver(s)? Just FYI to anybody who hasn't been here since at least 2018: merit abuse is at best a no-no that Theymos doesn't really want the community to punish that harshly, which is why there aren't a thousand threads in the Reputation section calling people out for it or negative trust being handed out by DT members or anyone else. On top of that, account sales aren't against any rules here, though there are some of us who think the practice is anathema to the forum's health (for a whole bunch of reasons). That said, doing either one is likely to tarnish a member's reputation and bitcointalk has a very, very long memory when it comes to those types of things.

Writing the same kind of threads in the same style, and sending most of their merits to a small set of accounts who are also engaging in similar behavior, is enough circumstantial evidence to make me believe there is a connection between these accounts. If they are not all the same person, then there is a conspiracy between a few users to artificially inflate each other’s alts’ merit totals to cheat in campaigns and then cashing out their earnings through similar methods.

A lot of user doing this on Nigerian board. Posting on merit spam thread, participating on contest that distribute merit and post the same pattern talking shit about football and hyping Bitcoin. They occasionally send merit consecutively to a merit jerker buddy on the post positioned on the middle of thread that shows they have connection. If this is already a circumstantial evidence I think we should do something on that board. ::) Title: Re: Dave1 and cryptomaniac_xxx are connected, Abused merit and Sig Campaign Post by: cooinnoo22 on November 14, 2025, 07:18:29 AM I think all this drama and theatrics just for the fact that there are more and more campaigns now in the community.
Isn't this what the community wants ? Traffic? And these companies know this and are actively coming cause they are also growing and benefiting so what's all the fuzz about. If theymos was someone easily influenced, most of you guys would have made sure he ban even signature promotions here because that's the cause of all the envy that's leading to the recent drama in this community.

I support the idea of busting account farmer that cheating on the same campaign but what I don’t like on the current alt account investigation flow is the most diabolical are frequently being ignored which is the blatant merit jerking from a country that now have a bunch of merit source pouring down on their members even on a nonsensical statement that you can read on general Bitcoin discussion thread that doesn’t have a merit. They are capitalizing their merit among their fellow local member then join on signature campaign that accepts user based on sheer value of merit alone regardless if it’s gotten on fruit carving, pumpkin carving and other cooking or from thread that JJG pour merit frequently. If campaign manager will revert back the criteria of checking the actual post quality instead of merit counts most importantly on the board that their company should be promoted maybe this cancer jerker will lessen their account farming. But now the system is working. Investigator caught old account that commit mistake in the past and let this next generation “fresh blood” motherfucker merit whore replace all the spot even enrolled on single campaign to operate legally due to no blockchain trail connection. The number of organic user here drop significantly which a 5 to 10 people from Nigeria can handle 100+ account and counting. Check out those low rank member suddenly create account and knew immediately how to fish merit like their predecessor done in the past. It’s easier because they have lot of merit source.

So, the best he could say in this case is: 5. I only applied my alt, if both accepted, I only use one.

If this is true, then Jating was really committed in cheating. And could be having some more alts which is why he never bothered to defend the other accounts once they were exposed. Simple answer is "NO". Although Dave1 and cryptomaniac_xxx are connected to each other cause they sent funds from their personal wallet to the same exchange wallet, but on the basis of BTC transaction, we can't say Dave1 and cryptomaniac_xxx are connected with @Jating, Cause those input addresses are from a centralised exchange. However, as @FinneysTrueVision said, if you look over their writing style and merit sending behaviour, then obviously you could connect them. Including the OP of this thread for being a most probably purchased account that is not allowed in the forum. This is kinda off-topic in here. I explained everything where it should have been. If you lost your account somehow, you could contact the recovery team, and that team would only return the account to you if you were able to provide a valid sign message. The best I could say is "Not your keys, not your I already provided my sign message. But yeah, I can't force people to drop their doubts if they're stuck thinking negatively about me cause I gave a loan whom they think cheater, maybe cheater, I dunno.

I think you are just upset and angry about how Nigerians are turning out to be a major participants in signature campaign but one thing you don't know is that even the merit source you are complaining about don't actually give merit the way you are claiming and sounding it to be. Okay, now try visiting the Italian board, Bangladesh and even Indonesia board free merits on shit topics and replies (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5253221.0) so it's not a new things and even reputable merit sources here pour merits in their locals anyhow and if you try and visit the Nigerian local you would see how members were agitating on how their sources are working and beside theymos knows and value the presence of the Nigerian that's why he honour their request and treats them equally as per every other person here in the community so stop whining a lot and get your work on, maybe you can also join in some carving contest and other competitions so you can get your account merit up and start earning like others if actually this is your only account of course (main account).

Meh. I smell an alt account of Nigerian merit whore miles away. Your first post made on Indonesian local board but Indonesian members bust you for using translation just to hide the fact that you are from Nigeria. What shit you are hitting. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t hate Nigeria in general. Only the merit whore coming from them. It’s hard to imagine that there’s a lot of newbie user staring to amass huge numbers of merit by doing the same posting strategy over and over most notably their merit circle jerking nature. There’s a lot of good user from that local board but it’s hard to imagine lots of newbie user have same level of knowledge immediately.

Title: Re: Dave1 and cryptomaniac_xxx are connected, Abused merit and Sig Campaign Post by: logfiles on November 15, 2025, 11:23:04 PM Simple answer is "NO". Might need a little more investigation.

The fact that both the accused accounts haven't even bothered to come around to defend their innocence reminds me of the Jating account farm ~snip~ Yes, that's the first sign that the OP is probably right, and it seems that some have realized that it's better to ignore topics like this than to defend yourself and thus usually complicate things even more. Anyway, this month alt accounts are being discovered in large numbers, which is in any case good for the forum. Title: Re: Dave1 and cryptomaniac_xxx are connected, Abused merit and Sig Campaign Post by: The Cryptovator on November 16, 2025, 08:55:30 PM I become surprised when exposed a high-ranking, reputed accounts with alt-account allegations. A lot of times I have written that the forum doesn't prevent you from creating an alt account unless you are evading a ban. And for more clarity, it's better to tag each other about alts, so everyone will know about the alt. Also, you can join different campaigns if you are able to make quality posts from both accounts. After that, why should anyone hide their account and abuse the system?
In this case I am pretty sure both accounts are connected or alts. But there is no sufficient evidence they joined the same campaign together. So he might present some excuse definitely, and we may have to give him the benefit of the doubt. Though we don't welcome merit exchange with the alts, it does increase merit circulation by the way. Also, theymos isn't strict about such cases unless it's a merit sale by the merit sources. I don't think Dave will come here to argue; that would create a worse situation. For now I am leaving them without a tag, but I will keep an eye on this thread. Title: Re: Dave1 and cryptomaniac_xxx are connected, Abused merit and Sig Campaign Post by: Lucius on November 17, 2025, 03:35:45 PM I become surprised when exposed a high-ranking, reputed accounts with alt-account allegations. ~snip~ Why would that surprise you? Besides, I personally don't care at all if someone is a Hero/Legendary or a Jr. Member if they do something bad, everyone should be treated equally if they are caught red-handed. As for these two accounts, one has stopped posting, while the other continues as if nothing happened - probably a tactic to show that they are not the same person. Title: Re: Dave1 and cryptomaniac_xxx are connected, Abused merit and Sig Campaign Post by: lovesmayfamilis on November 17, 2025, 03:50:17 PM I'll leave tags for these accounts, as do those who have alternative accounts. I understand that many don't want to reveal their second or fifth accounts, but if they are discovered, it's best for their future well-being for managers to know about them so that owners aren't tempted to cheat.
I agree with Cryptovator, I'd advise all owners who have alts and operate them honestly to leave a tag about it. I think everyone already understands that when it comes to reputation issues, an account is scrutinized by multiple eyes at once. |
