Trust farming user caught on the act + Other alt account found

[SFR10]

Earlier today, I noticed another of the so-called "free accelerator threads" popping out and as result, I got curious and found some interesting things:

Profile link: commenkiz
Thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2495280.0
Archived version: http://archive.is/PhCr6
First thing that I did, was to check for his "Trust summary": https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=1123023
Screenshot of the "Trust summary" page, since I can't archive it: https://imgur.com/a/M30zQ


1. See how smokeagile, left a positive rating a day after the negative rating that user ccorg left on, due to this.

2. Then found this thread that smokeagile created (today as well).
Archived version of it: http://archive.is/pTuaU

Check the transaction ID that he posted: https://blockchain.info/tx/1ab77460db28247071e388b9a36bb96517bf0598b7b8e983f7a2625aa3520d69

after that in my blockchain it show "transferring" my exodus BTC to blockchain.. but i never got the confirmation. ( but in my Exodus, i still saw the money , but i cant spend it )

Meaning both addresses are connected to him:

Code:

1NfrDpBKBLFswEzytLeSyShrMhRbcxmMGi
1HFT2AGp8zjQXm6Hh1M2fMEwdrpCDQjLev

3. Then I checked commenkiz recent posts and found this post.

4. Clear evidence of farming trust. Accounts connected: commenkiz and smokeagile.
It didn't end there. See the following similarities between commenkiz and CoolWave.

a. CoolWave on his BITCOIN TRANSACTION ACCELERATOR, has the following line:

I DO NOT GUARANTEE TIME .

Archived version of the thread (from Nov,12): http://archive.is/GLNBS

b. commenkiz on his Bitcoin Unconfirmed Accelerator, has the following line:

- The time will not be GUARANTEE

Archived version of the thread: http://archive.is/PhCr6

c. CoolWave on his BITCOIN TRANSACTION ACCELERATOR, has the following line:

Tippers : Accelerated in two different accelerators .
Non- Tippers : Accelerated in one accelerator only .

d. commenkiz on his Bitcoin Unconfirmed Accelerator, has the following line:

With tips Benefit
-Your TX will be confirmed 2X faster that people who do not tips  

e. Both have same style of writing (clearly)

f. Both do translation services as well

All these brings us to the following connected accounts:
CoolWave, commenkiz and smokeagile

There's also this:

Trust summary for commenkiz

This user's password was reset recently.

This user's email address was changed recently.

All these brings us to the following connected accounts:
CoolWave, commenkiz and smokeagile

Not 100% convinced that CoolWave is also part of this connection, but it is likely. I'd like to read other people's input.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Coolwave is about as untrusted a member of bitcointalk as you can imagine.  I wouldn't doubt this in the least.

I used a transaction accelerator service here on the forum once, and right after my post the guy asked me to leave him a "review" on his trust page.  I suspect that's the reason a lot of people start these services in the first place--to gain trust.  What they do with that trust afterwards, who knows.  But it's like a status symbol around here, with the green-trusted members slapping their big dongs around in everyone's face.  All the micropecker Asians will do anything to increase their girth and/or length, so to speak.

Is that kind of statement really necessary?

That's why it is "free". They are abusing someone else's service as they do not have the necessary means to actually have an acceleration service.

No. However, it isn't that far fetched and does sometimes entertain.

My statement was metaphorical and was in no way meant to insult the entire male Asian population.  Lighten up a little, eh?  Makes life more interesting.

It's not just trust farming - it's also basically forcing/pressuring people into paying for something that the newbies think takes money to do, but in fact is completely free and accessible to all.

I would not be surprised a single bit if those accounts are indeed connected. In fact i think it is likely.

It's funny because he even says that people who tip will get 2x faster confirmation time, which is completely untrue. Antpool transaction accelerator/other free acceleration services that he uses provide the same speed regardless.

CoolWave and others are expecting potential tonnes of shitposting newbies to put trust ratings on them - aka trust farming. However that does not matter to others as a whole unless a DT1 or DT2 member beings to trust them. In that case I am sure Lauda will contact them personally to have their ratings removed.

You maybe or may not be correct. Without prior proof it is just an assumption.

It is a clear indication of his motifs. He is forcing (aka brainwashing) people to tip him and/or trust him.

This type of fake transaction acceleration services need to be stopped. They are a nuisance to the forum and its members.

I have a list of the free transaction accelerator services I know of. Think it's time I made a (free) thread with a list of every single one I have found. This may hopefully take some of the traffic away from those who are charging for such a service.

I'll get it done today.

Good idea, but i believe there is already a completely free thread without any tipping address done by thekool1s. People are still using coolwave's service somehow. I think if you do it it'll be a lot better.

The 3 accounts may not be connected, but they are all doing dodgy things.

We really need to stop this acceleration service bullcrap. Maybe have one sticky on services that lists all the free accelerators?
