The latest rival to bitcoin has suffered a major cyber attack on its launch, crashing the new cryptocurrency's website.

Several sites show the exact same text, so I don't know which one is the original:

Newbie trucdev88 deserves a ban too:

China’s central bank is going digital.

After assembling a research team in 2014, the People’s Bank of China has done trial runs of its prototype cryptocurrency. That’s taking it a step closer to becoming one of the first major central banks to issue digital money that can be used for anything from buying noodles to purchasing a car.

The Bitcoin 0.15.1 released is for an improved and more efficient safety and network enhancement.This release focuses on the safety of the P2P network as a precaution against potential future network forks, as well as bringing bug fixes, optimizations and improvements to the 0.15.x series.There are changes in the way Bitcoin Core deals with peer connections and invalid block as a safety precaution against blockchain forks and misbehaving peers.Peers which provide a chain with less work than the minimum-chain-work during IBD will now be disconnected.

User carleen1 should be banned for copy/pasting:

Original:

This makes me think your harddrive is "cluster f*cked".

A file can be corrupt in two ways:

1 - The software (in your case bitcoin core) had a failure when writing the file
2 - Your harddrive failed and corrupted the file

In case 1 you can ask for extern help -> copy the file, hand it over and let somebody try to recover it
In case 2 you can NOT ask for extern help by handing out a copy of the file since you can not hand over the harddrive index and cluster build.

User richfund_Pe turned from shitposting to copy/pasting:

Copy:

Deutsche Bank has issued a market briefing for 2018. The document, created by Chief International Economist Torsten Slok, lists 30 possible threats that could disrupt global markets next year. Alongside entries like “North Korea” and “Brexit”, is bitcoin. Its inclusion shows the extent to which the banking sector is eyeing the revitalized digital currency. While some institutional investors see bitcoin as an opportunity, many more consider it a threat.

Newbie InzentScript tries to get Activity by copy/pasting:

Copy:

Bitcoin has a large lead as a store of value over every altcoin in having existed 8 years without failure. The security of Bitcoin has been proven far more than its much younger counterparts with usage by almost every metric exceeding that of altcoins.

Original (?): jimmysong (medium.com). I'm not entirely sure if this is the real original, as several other sources copied the same text.


Newbie raaner12 has 18 posts, all of which are new threads in Bitcoin Discussion. He hasn't typed anything by himself, he copies part of a source, then shows "read more".. Please check his post history.

That didn't stop him:

This weekend on December 10, the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe) began its first trading sessions. Since then the introduction of bitcoin-based derivatives held on a well-known mainstream exchange, the news has injected a surge of positivity into bitcoin’s spot markets. Moreover, the price of Cboe’s futures products has been trading wildly starting off at the $15K mark and has reached an all-time high of $18,650.

Over the Past Two Days, Cboe’s XBT Markets and Bitcoin’s Spot Prices See Wild Fluctuations
Two Days of Cboe's Bitcoin Futures Show Intense Volume Fluctuations Cboe’s bitcoin-based futures one-month bitcoin contract (XBT:1) started trading this past Sunday, and is currently up over 8 percent higher than bitcoin’s spot price. BTC spot markets have been on a tear leading up to the mainstream derivatives products with a global average hovering between the $16,900-17,200 region. Cboe’s futures products are a different animal and contracts are cash-settled based on the BTC price data provided Gemini in U.S. dollars. These exchange-traded derivatives products are bets on the future price of bitcoin and investors wager on whether the value will be high or low. If the price of bitcoin rises or dips, the contract holder is paid out based on how much the value has climbed or dropped within a specified time-frame.

LoL You should check his first shitpost XD~

Hooray for less spam!

And the rest of his post.. 1 liners!

Please mods pretty please go get theymos attention for these account farmers problems.. They really are annoying!! And sometimes they gank a pretty decent thread post and make it like a shit thread @_@.. And it's become so hard to discuss..

I don't feel burden at all even if I must report 10 junker/spammer each time I want to post something. At least I read a decent thread in a decent discussion.. And write a pm to those person that I want to discuss something about.

So hell yeah please read the idea of mine XD~

This user copypasted my post, on the next post right underneath it!  Looks like a bot, an exceptionally stupid bot:

will address the latter first, since it is a technical issue.  Any selection of characters for such an application will always involve tradeoffs of excluding worse confusable pairs, whilst regrettably tolerating some less confusable pairs.  Of course, making that distinction cannot be what I’d call an exact science.  BIP 173 set forth its rationale on this point; do you have any objective reason to contradict the research it cites?

I will hit the “Report to moderator” button also, of course.  (I have reported >100 posts in the past few weeks, with 100% accuracy.)  I post here to request nuking from orbit.

Aside, I wish I had discovered this thread before.  I reported a number of copypastes, with links to websites copied.  I don’t know if those accounts were banned, as they should have been.

Thanks to mods for their efforts shovelling garbage out of a landfill with a spoon, as the garbage trucks continue to arrive.

There's a deletion log here somewhere which will show you all the recent bans and trashed threads. 100 reports in a few weeks is massive though! I think I recall shorena & Lutpin being the biggest reporters on the forum and I don't think they even averaged 100 reports every few weeks.

[Thirdspace]

Two of (not shown below) them were banned in recent modlog, the rest I can't check.

what is the link for this modlog? I'm curious to see how many users got banned daily
I reported a copy paste user, that single post was removed but he still posting today
so do I need to report every single copy paste posts he made?
I clearly mentioned in the first report that many of this user's posts were copy pasted from other published sources

Officially, copy/pasting should be banned. Unfortunately, you don't get feedback on reported posts, that's why I prefer to post the ones that deserve a ban here. I use the report-link for posts that should be deleted or moved only.

I stumbled upon user Yabuy92's shitpost here. Checking his post history instantly gave a reason to permaban him:

P2SH Segwit Addresses
All current and future segwit-enabled wallets are expected to generate receiving addresses that start with the number 3 when generating segwit addresses. Addresses that start with the number 3 are known as pay-to-script-hash (P2SH) addresses.

Edit:  Mods completely nuked both these users as I was typing this post, which prophetically concludes:  “Mods, please beat me to it!”  Props to the mods here.

What adds insult to the injury of copypasting, is copypasting nonsense.  Both these posts were deleted by mods almost instantly after I reported them.  They were consecutive in the same thread (which itself seems spammish).

Please consider some bans here.  uid #1367288 “quynhanh9c” (here the one copied) mostly/only makes one-liner nonsense posts.  uid #1433133 “lamsersanjay” (here the copier) seems similar—and copypastes nonsense, which should be doubly nuke-account-on-sight.

Take the time to observe and observe everything

Take the time to observe and observe everything bitoin

Yes, those posts are here quoted in their entireties.  I think I will be now be reporting a bunch of posts by these users.  Mods, please beat me to it!

Hey, guys, don't you think you are a bit overdoing this?

Why don't you stop and think for a moment that there are only 26 letters (well, that depends on the alphabet you are using) and these are the same letters we all use. What the fuck, we even use the same words and phrases or even whole sentences now and then ("insult to the injury", yeah). These are idioms as well as golden thoughts said by wise people which allow you to express your idea without delving into pesky details. Should we avoid using them lest we get caught by some nut and reported to a mod?
