Why do you only respond to the real people in this thread and not the bump bot service you employed?

More importantly, why did you buy a bump bot service? Its incredibly obvious what's going on.

All these accounts will soon be banned for coordinated spamming.

Nice! Thanks Loyce. I will do some more examination in the morning (its still night time here).

Seems like there could be 30 or 40 accounts all connected to the same service. Wonder if its all the same puppeteer.

Here's a bump bot ring I just documented pretty thoroughly because they were pissing me off:

Please feel free to do your reporting/tagging/banning as you see fit.

(note: not entirely sure if this should be in Meta or here)

While arguing about the legitimacy of a "Bitcoin Short" token project (spoiler: its almost certainly not), I notice the thread is now being bumped by the same 22 accounts used to bump the same 8 projects, ad nauseum. The ring goes all the way back to November. During one particular thread, some of them got caught and red tagged by DarkStar_, so I am listing the ones who haven't been red tagged here.

A lot of these are hacked accounts from 2011-2014, maybe sold by the OG forum hacker. I think they have one earned Merit between them, and 11 total... Also, 1 of these didn't bump the Bitcoin Short thread but I caught them by association, which leads me to believe there's many more out there, probably all owned by the same individual. Just asking mindless questions and then answering their own questions. What a weird way to "make a living," if you can call it that.

Here is my sweet association matrix for your reference, though in hindsight I should have made the rows columns and vice versa. I'm no LoyceV, after all...



And what is to be said for projects that employ such services? Likely scams or just employing cheesy marketing tactics?

Feel free to add more members to the ring here if you find them.

Question for the mods: does this kind of behavior constitute a ban? It would be mighty easy to nuke the brunt of them if so. Thanks!

This is hilarious. Just found this thread when researching a bump bot team. Using an image of Gordon Gekko as a team member, and a porn star?? Classy and grade-A stuff.

User ghdeveloper was commenting in the thread of a project I am 95% certain is a scam: Bitcoin Short.

Just took a look at the Xeonbit website and they have changed their team images. Still bizarre that they would use fake pictures in the first place.

True b. Jamie D is a real early adopter. He don't care about the benjamins, its all about reimpowering the little guy. He's just like Roger Ver! We all know what a humble, down-to-earth guy he turned out to be...

Sure, you can use the block explorer in the link above to follow where the coins went. However, its a bit tricky because you have to follow all the different expenditures and will have to know what the Binance BCH address is. As far as I know there's no publicly available utility that will link to BCH addresses together for you, so it requires manual investigation.

I notice you edited every single one of your messages to claim that the negative trust I gave you was "bogus." It certainly was not. I told you about the plagiarism and pointed out the original sources of your white paper material. You denied it. Thus, your negative trust was earned.

Quoted for posterity:


240 months after production starts? So that's 20 years after the first gold has been mined from space by a company that you are invested in! You expect people to be invested in your company for a bare minimum of 21 years! Assuming it only takes a year to get a satellite your company has invested in to get to an asteroid and successfully find gold... It could take much, much longer.


As I said earlier, this is not true. It's never happened. Gold particles may have been found in an asteroid sample, but you don't produce evidence of this. Your claim is thus baseless.


But you currently have no contracts in place with these companies, correct?


Again, this is highly speculative. Its zero tons at the moment.


Not backed by an asset. Its an investment in a project which may yield zero assets, thus the tokens are not backed by anything except expectations.


 

Pheeewww buddy. This was an awful sales pitch. I feel creeped out after reading it. There are so many problems with your plan. Here's the biggest ones:

1. You expect to form partnerships/contracts with "space gold" mining companies.
2. You are certain the ones you do form contracts with will be successful.
3. Even if they are, you expect your investors to wait for over 20 years to redeem their tokens for real gold.
4. You assume the Ethereum platform will still be around in 20+ years and not replaced by better technology.
5. You didn't take the time to write your own white paper -- without investing the time it takes to create your own white paper, how do you honestly expect investors to be patient for 20 years while waiting for your project to bear fruit?

There's just far too many contingencies to make this a viable plan. Why wouldn't investors just invest in the asteroid mining companies directly?

Nope. Not "as a result." You were "attacked by trusted parties" because you denied having a plagiarized white paper. You could have copped to what happened instead of claiming I was engaging in "logical fallacies." Its highly unlikely that anybody who approached you has an account with the standing of mine. I just look through ICO announcements, analyze their white papers and find inconsistencies. If your claim has evidence that I am somehow linked to these other accounts who offered to help promote your project, list them here and let the public do research and come to conclusions on their own.


Its not just "similarities", its word-for-word copy/pasting. Thanks for not making me have to post a formal Scam Accusation against you, which I was about to do until I read this message. I reserve the right to do this in the future because some of your claims about gold already being brought back from space (for the purposes of being sold) are simply untrue. If my claim is incorrect, please post some evidence that refutes it.

What you're proposing is an extremely risky, theoretical and long-term investment model. This is not suitable for cryptocurrency.

I did read it. You provide no solid evidence of anything that would possibly make your token work as described. You say its backed by this or that but don't provide any evidence of such. It's all based in faith that you won't screw over your customers, which is provided by your reputation, of which, without a publicly disclosed team and holdings, you have none.

That's simply awful. Reminds me of a recent scenario where a bounty manager locked his bounty thread because of a pretty compelling Scam Accusation against the project, then bounty hunters started posting their reports in the Scam Accusation thread! They have to be the least cognizant bunch of forum users there is.

You couldn't find it? All you have to do is type "Decentra Capital" into Google and his LinkedIn is the first thing that comes up.

There's absolutely no reason to trust you.

You never addressed these points. Your project has:

1. No team members
2. No actual data provided about how this token will achieve its goal. You can't make claims about having holdings that will back up this project without providing them. You promised you would put them on the website, they're not there.

In short this project is extremely shady and I do not believe you are capable of carrying out your stated goal.

You can't buy it because it doesn't exist. The only thing that could possibly happen is you lose your Ethereum. Anybody who continues to bump this scam with idiotic questions will be reported for thread bumping/spam. In all likelihood your account will be banned.

This is a scam project you are bumping. You could be tagged for helping to support a scam, though I doubt you'll care since your accounts are of so little value. Your opinion is completely disregarded.

That's pretty awful. There's no good reason they have for doing this. Pretty pathetic on their part. Of course don't pay it. I sent you a Pity Merit to help ease the burn.

Petro is not a token any more -- it might not be anything anymore. There's no verifiable proof that it even exists. Maduro has more pressing matters to attend to at the moment.

Going forward I recommend to you conducting all forum member loan-associated business on the forum. As you might have figured out by now, it would have been much more transparent had you performed the address verification bit in the loan thread where it was available for public inspection.

Complete scammer. His first post was for a no collateral loan. That's a big no-no. Reputation loans are just fine, and this guy doesn't have any. He has even less now. If he was seriously interested in building a reputation in this forum, I would say

I think the CoinTelegraph images are usually pretty cool, and it probably costs them a decent bit to be made (though I have no actual idea). I have a feeling that's what coinidol is emulating. But I agree, they're a bit disconcerting and take away from the overall seriousness of their enterprise.
