While I do not know how to feel exactly on using this kind of evidence to connect accounts, I cannot argue about how it was been effectively used in the past to catch certain person.

I don't necessarily agree with account sales, but I see why some users might want to buy an account. Stake pays high ranking accounts around $160 per week, which in some countries is considered as being pretty good money. Building an account from the ground up would take a user nearly 2 years to be able to earn that kind of money. If that was the only reason the account was bought, and there was no positive trust attached to the account then i'm ok with it. I'm not against anyone making money. The issue there is many account buyers are not going to stop at just 1 account, they would purchase or farm tens or hundreds of accounts and essentially cheat campaigns.

Then you toss in those that would look to purchase an account with lots of trust to try and pull off a big scam. That could be anything from an ICO scam, borrowing/lending scam, or opening a scam gambling website. It might be better to not allow sales IDK.

Caught accounts, with proof that the account is not real with the owner, must be banned from wearing a signature, if not forever, then for any sufficient period so that the person can prove his interest in the forum.

I'm not really against account buyers by themselves. Main problem is that it motivates hackers to steal someone else's accounts to sell them. And tolerance to that can lead to adverse effects. So account buying should be discouraged to reduce demand on hacked accs to buy. If the one will decide to start again and account buying was the only dark spot in his history then he can start from scratch I think, with clean trust.

Accounts buy is really a big, big shame. People buying an account should not get a reward by putting it into a signature campaign, such accounts should be trashed right away by negative feedback.
It is very hard for new members to earn a substantial amount of Merit for receiving a high rank. All Newbies have to earn a Merit for unique post.
People buying an account should get socially isolated and a negative feedback is overdue.
Shame on bought accounts.
Bought accounts are illegitimate.
We do not support it.

Whooop!  That was a damn good catch by FatFork--and when I opened this thread I thought it was a new one with an accusation that I'd heard before.  But nope, it was the same one and was also a very good catch.  If you're really looking to catch alt accounts for whatever reason, it's these little quirks of writing that give them away sometimes.

And now when I think of AI-generated posts and such, I wonder if all that's going to change (or if it's already started).  Frightening prospect, no?

I'm not sure about that one. Based on the phrasing, it's possible that both "idea" and "ideal" could fit semantically in the sentence mentioned. "Idea" typically refers to a concept or thought, while "ideal" refers to something perfect or optimal. So, when he said "the ideal of stable coins emerged after Bitcoin was created to solve issues related to volatility," even though "idea" seems like a better fit, "ideal" could also work in this context.

It's basically what DT has done with sold or hacked accounts in the past. Not a ban but a negative trust. So yes, people can buy / sell accounts but it will get tagged.
I believe once a sold or hacked account has been detected, there's a 99% chance, that the account will get tagged, if there is sufficient proof.
However, I'm always giving everyone the benefit of doubt.
For the case here of martyns, I've only submitted a neutral trust so far but I might change it into negative, considering his lies and involvement in other abuses. The negative trusts on his accounts are very valid.
And it's quite funny that sold or hacked accounts are often involved in various abuses, isn't it?
Maybe account buyers aren't so innocent as suggested here by a few members...

The remaining games for Arsenal are like these:

- Chelsea (H)
- Newcastle (A)
- Brighton (H)
- Nottingham (A)
- Wolves (H)

Technically all of the games are quite winnable except the one against Newcastle. Because Newcastle are in a very solid shape these days. They started to obtain very big victories when we take their last five league games into account. Arsenal couldn't win against them in Emirates either. This makes me think like Arsenal are quite probable to have a point loss in this one.

However even if Arsenal win all of the rest of their games it is still too difficult for them to win the PL title indeed. Manchester City don't have any concentration issues while competing for 2 big titles at the same time - PL and CL. Their having 2 missing games is making things easier for them to take the lead soon. I will still be appreciating Arsenal's huge effort and it'll be lovely to watch them in the CL next season.

Back when Abramovich was the Chelsea owner, he would regularly fire managers every season or two and the squad's performance has stayed mostly intact for most of his tenure. So clearly, the manager run-in is not the problem. The problem is with the players that are chosen to start together. Chelsea plays a 3-4-2-1 so if you're not starting players who are good in that system, of course shit will hit the fan.

I see people blaming it on the lack of strikers, the lack of a good defense and stuff like that. And that's horseshit because they've signed good players like Mudryk, Koulibaly, Felix, hell even Gallagher is good as long as you play him properly. You can't just buy anyone you like and expect them to just fit in the system.

A complete and total breakdown of tactical play is why they are struggling to win games big time, and I don't see that just changing overnight next season. Which is bad for them, because they risk becoming another Spurs.

I don't understand what people think Chelsea could change with the arrival of lampard, I see a lot of criticism about him.

Still, I think Arsenal's accomplishments should be acknowledged and next couple of years seem bright for them.

Quick forum search in Nigeria (Naija) section says that majority knows the word idea (dozens of results) and there is one person who uses the word ideal instead. But it proves nothing this way I guess.

Not entirely sure if this is a regular occurrence among the Nigerian community - anyone care to enlighten me? As for what to make of it, I have a hunch that it might give someone some ideal worth exploring further.  

I'll explain briefly the connection with those accounts, Martyns, Blackened515, Omgitsmehehe.

Thanks for taking time to read through.

Arsenal may have lost the title already but their accomplishments this season should not be ignored.

@JollyGood what an embarrassment Lampard’s appointment is turning out to be, and I won’t be surprised if he’s sacked soon now because how much longer can the board allow him to embarrass the club. Furthermore Manchester City won a huge game, however I won’t say it’s all over for Arsenal just yet because if City player’s get over confident then Arsenal can yet find their way back provided they start winning matches again.

But as long as we don't have a working strategy to "legalize" account sales, it's best in my opinion to give out negative trust if there's enough evidence about sold / hacked accounts.

If we talk about aunts, uncles, and all other relatives, then the time of the last visit to the forum apparently ends with a signal or a whistle.

So, I've taken an aggressive approach on the subject.

I've updated my trust list, btw.

I've followed a pattern (Receive Signature earning and move to some exchange or other address) and I have got some more accounts connected here:

martyns uses address: bc1q49hwmxd4hxxx4g7xxugwptmhcx2d7l0d5pde0l here https://archive.is/GBcQi#selection-2877.19-2877.61

Now this bc1q49hwmxd4hxxx4g7xxugwptmhcx2d7l0d5pde0l [e33e33f5bf] sends his earnings to 33GPgbaJuSaMyBo8tuhe6HhRunptrE8xVS[274f2311ad] , for example: https://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/129693a4cfb6743c9a6b24c0ea3b282e702c8eca6b6577ea71dde75dfa60589b and there are more

That's not all they also send their address in the same way to another address which I think is an address from an exchange . 1BVhf8FgxS5oNDhyCBP97tmv9P8WJYGKBs   [000177bc41]   

a) bc1qkr6f4y5egy35e0w5532jnxzgppgcqx93j6u5z4 [14e77b3d9a] has many transactions which goes back from Feb, 2021 till 23rd April 2023 (still to count no. of transactions)
b) bc1q42nl6hnt78kuum7vp8le79smtl4rytx6d8glk8 [ccbaee06ae] has good no. of transactions but not like the one above. Timeline: April, 2021 to December, 2021

I've found another user with wallet sending to 1BVhf8FgxS5oNDhyCBP97tmv9P8WJYGKBs   [000177bc41]   address. They've dealt 2 times but what more interesting is that the user has sent/received merits also from this ring of accounts. Also this user has posted in this thread too. Although, I am not much sure about him.

There's a 1xbit participant as well. (not the one already connected, its a different one)



Anyway, I am gonna focus on these 4 accounts - blackened515, martyns, LordHermes, omgitshehe and proceed

[1] I've checked BPIP.org and here are some screenshots sending merits to each other


Merit Overview from BPIP of blackened515




Merit Overview from BPIP of martyns




LordHermes: https://loyce.club/Merit/history/1803138.html (omgitsmehehe, martyns have sent/received merits)


Merit Overview from BPIP of omgitsmehehe





[2] This is interesting and what I have seen from spammers & multi-accounts during 16-17. These users also posts quoting each other just generating posts between themselves in order to meet post quota.

You guys will find more posts like this. I am not sure how campaign managers sees this but that's for definitely not the right way to use the forum. Clearly they are doing anything for the sake of earning money.

Who knows maybe in dire need of money they can use one account to escrow and on other one to start the deal and then scam. That's one account gone and then go to next one.

Some of these accounts have been neutral marked by JollyGood for gap in history and there has been once instance where lovesmyfamilis has poked him too at his attempt to get into campaign by increasing merit count on the application post.


My opinion: I think this is a big alt ring, Martyns is just a piece and there could be lot more. Right now my impression is that he just wants to earn as much as from signature campaigns and therefore he posts every chance he gets. Even if there is none, he creates one. I mean look at the address: https://explorer.btc.com/btc/address/33GPgbaJuSaMyBo8tuhe6HhRunptrE8xVS , there is 0.166BTC (approx $4,800) being moved to that wallet. That's not how forum is intended to be used. Is it?

In addition to that, the one I have my suspicion on has been part of the campaign for 100 weeks and believe me its a good paying campaign as I have been part of that earlier. There are some more (including 1xbit one I mentioned above) but its based on just not much strong links I guess but I am still digging on those.

Everyone should be given chance to explain themselves so I asking @blackened515, @LordHermes and @omgitsmehehe to post here to explain the situation here and will see how the community sees this.

I want to clarify if I'm not supporting ban evader, but I don't know why you can think the account will cause a further harm to the forum. It's more like your own assumption rather than being objective about what he had done in this forum.

Aston Villa defeated Fulham 1-0 to go to fifth place. Totteham is currently in sixth place, and tomorrow they must dig their own grave.

Erikson was a key man in the team, but he was sold for a reason I can't even tell.
