Campaign are trying to get impression from bounty hunter (to get more promoter) or the campaign manager is trying to show a lot of users are participating to their superior.
Good point, but as a BM of this campaign, the signup sheet is what i have to show to the ILcoin team, not the forum thread. From what i can see, these bots didn't sign up in the forms, so i don't know what the purpose of these posts are, as thread bumping has been a thing of the past for few months now And if mods need permission to check my ip (which i highly doubt they do), it's given I see the following scenarios: 1. Most likely competitors or some one unhappy trying to get the project down. 2. An account farm bot testing on a random bounty thread 3. Paid old school bumping service but less likely to be that case. 4. As mentioned above, fake buzz around the bount to create fake volume. It's too obvious the abuse to be that case. The fact is that there are more than 400 alt accounts who posted in the thread. I haven't finished the whole list yet, so probably there are more alts.

I have another suggestion which I already posted here: KeePass is password manager but it's really helpful when it comes to save bitcoin addresses. I made a simple setup just to test it and it works fine. see the pics below. You can modify pretty much everything, and you can have it on a USB drive as well (there is a portable version). What you do is just save as many keys as you want, then open a website or select a place where you want to type your key and go back to KeePass, right click the key you wnat and just click "AutoType". The address will be automatically written. No copy -paste. The KeyPass is password protected, free, open-source and one of the top password managers. But if you don't trust a single password break point protection it's perfect for storing crypto addresses. There are browser add-ons as well. You can choose what to type, how to type and where to type it.

my address is 1E7sZ3FF8xK4QgLR5BJFSpiJvn8e9SpRek
Quoted for you but this one is not enough. It is a more solid evidence for your account if you can sign a bitcoin message with that address or the others you own. Template: -----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE----- Your message -----BEGIN SIGNATURE----- Your bitcoin address Your signature is here -----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
You can use Electrum wallet for it. -----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE----- dgigit on bitcointalk.org and today is 2019.12.16 or as some of you might write it 12/16/2019 -----BEGIN SIGNATURE----- bc1q9lgrcwnasdqh3j4r5xsw8f3nsqpupufxl9r96f
IHHH8wGadvgI0HNMOTuSXxJ6D9sVUwWoo73HTSD/IwriON8BsxwUWblDBzGS/mSCq14Jx7Xbjyvw0quscI0n4d4= -----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
please check Quoted, verified with mycelium, archived.

Breaking down the list to groups of accounts with a very small difference in time of creation of the accounts.
UserID Profile link batch 1 ... batch 2 ... batch 3 ...
Pls fix the URL dude, you almost gave me a heart attack ) 1 2732909 [url=http://https: //bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2732909]Ariadne Ryan[/url] 2 2732905 [url=http://https: //bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2732905]Wayne Mccarthy[/url] 3 2732904 [url=http://https: //bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2732904]Kohen Neville[/url] Did not understand why url took me to https.com website. http://https//bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2732909 this is the link the browser sees and because there is no colon after https it redirects to another website or no website found. This is a next level April Fool's prank right here )) Thanks man, I mess up the code, I'll fix it tomorrow.

Isn't it better to use KeePass auto-fill function instead of using copy-paste. Just save all your addresses you are using to KeePass. So easy and safe. Here is what I'm talking about, it looks like this:

Upon checking the usernames & their post, I guess, the accounts are created by bot. They all have the same style username; two words. They have only posted #Proof of Authentication & none of them are probably in the spreadsheet list; I have checked couple of them. Although the purpose isn't clear here, I guess it's certainly not bounty cheating. Campaign are trying to get impression from bounty hunter (to get more promoter) or the campaign manager is trying to show a lot of users are participating to their superior.
No matter how you look at it,it is cheating. If you post #Proof of Authentication in a bounty thread even tho it is a fake participation, then you are trying to participate in the bounty, in this case with multiple accounts which is against the forum rules, then this is bounty abuse and those accounts should be banned. If the Bounty manager is involved, which is a bit more difficult to prove, the whole thread should be trashed, but I don't think the mods will take that action without a solid proof. That's why I'm focusing on the rules which are broken so the administration can tack actions. We are playing cat-and-mouse game all the time here with those bots. This is not an isolated case. It happens quite often.

I found around 400+ connected accounts til now (they keep generating new accounts, just check the last posts of the bounty thread) with only 1 post in a bounty thread. See below > Thanks to LoyceV, we made a list of the accounts psted in the thread here > one, two, tree. I arranged all the accounts by UserId and filter those who have a very close UIDs. Here is the result (click the quote for full list) > Please, check the IPs of the batches if you can confirm, then those accounts are abusing the bounty and should be nuked. We need to find a solution to this madness.

Thank you, Holy Cow!, almost More than (didn't see your last post) 400 alt account in this farm... This is crazy. and the number of the accounts is rising as we speak (OK, write). If you take the mouse pointer trough the profile links and just scroll down you gonna see how the user ID is changing like a counter. All those with 2 names are from the same farm. OMG!!! Thanks LoyceV, the notification bot is working perfectly Here comes the edited list arranged by UserID and some irrelevant entries removed. You can see what we are talking abount See below!

@LoyceV, There is a bounty abuse going on on this bounty : [BOUNTY][ILC] ILCOIN MINI BOUNTY - ALREADY LISTED ON 50+ EXCHANGES There are many fresh accounts with a single post in this thread. It is a account farm created solely for this bounty. I know you have not time right now, many other projects are keeping you busy but please, post a list of the users with only 1 post count which is in the bounty thread. Then we can see which ones were created just to join the bounty. Thanks.

You're going to have to add "Notifications: " in front of it.
oops fixed I think it won't work with "edit", I guess LoyceV is scaping both the notifciations and the application form form the recent posts, that means that no edits are recored. You will need to post a new message with the right format to get it recorded. Damn, I was wrong.

You're wrong I read all updates to subscriptions in this thread. At least the chance that you are AI has been slightly reduced.They are still sky high tho.

Am I the only one who thinks we should just let him do whatever he is doing? Maybe he is passing through some personal problems, maybe something happened, or maybe he just decided to quit for some time without any warning. In all cases, I wouldn’t want people to search for any of my personal details online to try to contact me.
Whatever is happening/happened with him, let him take care of it. In private.
What I've checked is only if he was online for the past 1-2 months. The information is available on bitcointalk so everyone can find it without any difficulties. I haven't send him any messages nor try to contact him in any way. I respect his will to quit anytime without notice but he had a service to which many were (and still are subscribed to). So sudden disappearance does really make it awkward.

I decided to check what information I can find about Piggy. Found some social media links, other profiles and websites here and there but not a recent activity. I'll keep an eye on those and inform you if there is any activity.

I don't know why i had some bad feelings about Piggy when I saw he was away for a month (that was some time ago) I came back to this thread today again with a hope that he is back but... Now even Maggi is gone and even more bad though come to my mind... Hope he is well and on a nice vacation somewhere...
