w1lson was also banned at the end of June:

A week ago @bubbalex had posted a google spread sheet link in their negative of the two UID's aan_carter and eqhy_mulan

ardcts has been banned, hence archived:

(two of these dates match dates in my own investigation for another cluster overnight)

Merit Abuse and Ban Evasion by the OP:

14 Accounts Connected: (Note: Banned shown in red / Inactive in Blue)

Decksperiment, hosaka, koguma, xz, cerunnos, sp383, shoggot, kamrulhasan001, xiaolin1579, sale666, PhilippeD, juperos, deliveryman, Sale666-2,

Proof:

Background:

Sale666-2 recently started a thread to get their old account back which they claim was hacked.  Getting my old account back

I noticed that the old account was last active the same day Sale666-2 started their first thread to recover that account almost two years ago to the day.


Nb: Times shown by BPIP are Month, day , year.  Times shown by BitCoinTalk are GMT +10.


lovesmayfamilis then noticed that the five UID's that gave cerunnos merit (of which sale666 was one) all did so in a short window on the 9th of April 2018 for a thread post the 5th of December 2017.

In that thread I then notice various connections such as password change date/time etc:

---

---

deliveryman (5 merits), Decksperiment (1 merit), koguma (1 merit), shoggot (1 merit), xiaolin1579 (1 merit), sale666 (1 merit) give cerunnos their ten merits combined


Three hours later cerunnos gives sp383 five merits to:


Their details are:

sp383 https://bpip.org/Profile?p=sp383


Scrolling back up we find that these dates correspond with the merit givers:

sp383 does not pass their merits onto any other UID, however, they received merit from another UID ( xz )

Conclusion:

All 13 UID's that participate in the merit swapping are alts given their activity times and dates match up.

Related Addresses:


Miscellaneous:

Ban Evasion.  User may have transferred the merits between accounts then put them on ice to sell at a later date.

@posi and @ChiNgadOr have previously identified xiaolin1579 as being part of a multiple alt racket as tagged by @CryptopreneurBrainboss and @coinlocket$ on their trust feedback wall

At least two of the users have been slapped with negative feedback trust for ponzi activity & one by @Vod for delusional activites...

Two of the UID's that gave cerunnos merits changed their passwords in a 24 hour period:

https://bpip.org/Profile?p=koguma https://bpip.org/Profile?p=koguma


Decksperiment https://bpip.org/Profile?p=Decksperiment

---

Another merit giver and the merit recipient both changed their passwords in ~ 36 hour window:

xiaolin1579 https://bpip.org/Profile?p=xiaolin1579


cerunnos https://bpip.org/Profile?p=cerunnos

deliveryman Registration Date:4/4/2014 8:26:18 PM (Active 495 days ago)
xiaolin1579  Registration Date:12/9/2013 5:23:10 AM (Active 499 days ago)

It can't be ignored that their last active dates are very close to each-other (with-in four days)

---

koguma Registration Date:4/6/2013 12:28:08 PM (Active 755 days ago)
sale666 Registration Date:12/29/2013 11:32:46 PM (Active 767 days ago)
shoggot Registration Date:5/4/2013 9:24:30 PM (Active 786 days ago)

Again, there is a close proximity of last active dates for these three UID's

---

---

Two of those UID's have also been banned less than ten days apart:

xiaolin1579 3/17/2019 12:56:37 AM    Changed to Archived status    Autoban user
deliveryman 3/26/2019 11:35:07 AM    Changed to Archived status    Autoban user

Conclusion:  If these UID's are connected, then there is ban evasion occurring.

You were told the same thing two years ago when you first tried to recover your account: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4496277.0  -  Archive [1a], [1b]


Given the old account was last active the same day you started your first thread:


Interestingly you last posted in that other UID on the 22 January 2018, 22:19:40.

I'm just wondering what you've been up to for the last two (and a half) years?  Was the account hacked?  Or, more likely you forgot your password and gave up?

Ah yes of course - I had to remind Foxpup of that very thing a few weeks back and now it's momentarily slipped my mind.


Well, we're not exactly "excluded" from DT1, it simply means we don't vote DT2 in.  (QED by what you just said).  We still have a vote in or out of other DT1's, so we're not exactly "excluded".  In the end we are all "chosen" to be on DT1 from month to month, so it's really out of others hands.

I've just tried the suggested link, it seems it hasn't worked since last year and the OP of that thread has now been offline for 49 days.  Please see this post.

I've just come across this page and tried the script - install was straight forward as I already have another BCT script to count merits, so that was good.  Once installed however all images on the example page (including @EcuaMobi image to show where to cut script which isn't a large file now don't load.

@EcuaMobi has been offline for 49 days so far, but I'll send him a PM to advise the script / images aren't working.

If anyone is using the script I suggest you disable it until such time as a resolution is found.

Here in Australia many online gambling sites are blocked, or don't permit registration of their site - quite likely due to government registration restrictions.  I've been having a look around this week and they all pretty much say the same thing.

At what point do you suppose the pandemic will over-run Las Vegas (or any other major US city) given you don't seem to think there is anything wrong in the US at the moment with the nearing run-away numbers of cases?

The Brisbane Broncos lost 46 - 8 last night making five losses from six starts to the season.  People are now talking about there being some fixing going on, but regardless, I saw odds of 40:1 for them to win.  Anyone rolling their wagers over week to week would end up with a big payout at the end of the season especially if the odds stretch out to 100+:1

All good, thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.

Thanks for the list; I hadn't realised there were so many.  A few I've never seen before.

https://islaudastillondt.tk/ must still be broken, according to last week's page Lauda should be dt2 (-2)  -  The same thing was happening with the page for my stats.

Archiving through a handful of third party archiving services of various pages on BPIP takes about the same amount of time as before.

I probably should have checked this out when I joined the signature campaign, but I just went there and found this:



Any plans to open the site to Australian visitors?

I haven't seen the figures for overnight in Sydney or Melbourne, but it looks like the second wave is slowly growning - If Sydney doesn't pay attention it'll end up in a similar re-lockdown and mandatory wearing of facemasks in public as Greater Melbourne and the Mitchell Shires are having to endure.

It can be construed quite easily that gifting merits is part of a plan to manipulate the trust system, so err on the side of caution if planning anything.

True, but having an inkling that someone (or something) is going to win is sometimes the driving motivation behind placing a bet with a remarkably high return.

e.g. The Brisbane Broncos Rugby League team have lost five of their last six games, and there's no confidence they will win tonight either.  Do I bet on a seemingly sure thing (not winning), or take a risk they will win a game?  Either way the longer they loose, the higher the odds become which makes it more worth while placing a small bet for a big return.

When do the rest of the joke pages expire?

Happy Birthday @Jet Cash - my own father turned 80 on Monday so I've spent the week away from BCT whilst doing things with him.

Having been born in 1940 in England he's always told us stories of the bombers going overhead (both ways) as well as once being in school when a bomber came down (about to crash) pulled up at the last moment, went up over the school then crashed on the other side of the school.  Yes, it's true childhood memories of the war have left an indelible mark on my father's whole life.

I've found people my own age just don't get the sciences or technology in general - they know how to swipe up or down (or left and right) but aren't interested in behind the curtain (and I weep for the generation that's come after me for wanting someone else to do the swiping L-R U-D for them), so I take my hat off to you for being of an earlier age when all people wanted to know about the world around them.
