supermine account might be hacked/bought. Need opinions.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I have a sinking suspicion that the supermine account was sold or hacked at one point.  For one thing, he used to make posts with excellent English like this one in 2015 and also seemed to have extensive knowledge of TA jargon:

Nice pics. Nevertheless what we have today is not quite the same if you look closely. Today we are seeing an text-book bear flag (sym triangle with slowing volume) indicating  lower levels in an Wave 4 Elliot Cycle. Sure it could rebounce, but that chance would be 40/60, so my bets are on bear until I see a rounded bottom or similar reversal indication.

And then there was a huge gap in posting, which seemed to stop in January 2015 and resumed on November 8th, 2017, whereupon he applied for a signature campaign 2 days later.  His posts now are typical bounty spam like this:

As you said the bitcoins are not dying the price just fell sue to the huge demand for bitcoin but in the coming days the price of ethereum will start to rise because many people got the knowledge of crypto currency so new investor will come in the near future.So it is good time to buy altcoins because the price of most altcoisn are cheaper so people who is looking for long term investment will pick their coin now foe cheap price.

and like this post, which I don't know how to quote, since the thread has been locked.

Can someone with some brains take a look at his post history and tell me if they agree with me or not?  I'm considering tagging him for using a bought/hacked account.  A lot of them popped up at the end of 2017, and I'm thinking this is another one of those.   You can go from poor English to good, but as I've said before only something like a brain injury or a drug problem would account for the quality change going the other way.

Yes. There is nothing to disagree with (other than me having brains perhaps - that's just libel).

Not sure if the original owner still had it in Jan 2017 (there is one post) but it certainly changed hands between Jan 2015 and Nov 2017.

Edit: ask them something in German .

Delicious brain you have, suchmoon.  But like all pharma-zombies, I would like to get as many brains here as possible, especially from trusted and/or DT members.  Tagging someone based on post gap + change in post quality isn't exactly a tricky decision to make, but I'd like to hear some opinions.

And yeah, in one of his earlier posts he claimed he was located in Europe, and I'm assuming you saw he posted in the German section or I missed a post where he gave that away. Derp.  I just clicked on your link and saw the German post.

Shitposters and trolls have no brains, therefore this thread is self-moderated.

[suchmoon]

Or perhaps they could sign a message with one of the receiving address here or with the Doge addresses here or with the address that sent 0.00164505 BTC here. There's probably more, I just skimmed through the post history. I bet the response to any of these requests would be like "I lost all my wallets during that horrible car accident that made me unlearn English".

[JusticeForYou]

Yes, the user has some suspicious post history and I have some solid proof that the accounts has changed hands between 2015-2018 as we can check by its posts history.

@Pharmacist

I found a very interesting proof that the account has changed hands and is not in the hands of a German person anymore as,

This is a Post on IPL( Indian Premier League) Prediction Thread, 2018.

I think KKR had the better chance for fourth spot because they also have well balanced team but they are not playing well in the last match,I hope in today's match will be more interesting.But we can't really predict the tournament at these condition because anything can happen still MI also have chances if they win six matches in their total of seven matches so it is getting more interesting while the tournament get progressing.

Indian Premier League is an Indian cricket sports event and it only takes place in India so I don't think a German person ( German players also don't play cricket in the event ) would know this info and predict a match in any way. So, we can say the new owner should be of the Indian Nationality. Also this account has no previous interest in any sports until 2015.

BUT, even though it seams a change in hands of the account, the new owner is in no way spamming anything on the forum and also handling the account in a spam-free way from much time now. So, I would suggest not tagging the account red for this or just put a neutral about change of hands of the account.

Thank you for your opinion, but I think we're debating whether spamming=shitposting.  Supermine is currently doing the latter, which is exactly why he acquired the account and one of many reasons why account dealing is unsavory.  He's getting tagged, not for being a spammer/shitposter, but for being an account buyer--and he could have hacked the account, too.

Yes, there are chances that the account is hacked or bought and you have a different point of view for looking at this cases as you are a Forum Police and frequently solving much of this type of cases on the forum. I respect your work, just keep it up

I just wanted to point out towards the good aspect of this situation but still it's up to you to tag a person or not.

[marlboroza]

and like this post

As you said we need to hold our bitcoins longer to make profits but current scenario of bitcoin is make me little bit worse bitcoin becoming unusable in recent days due to huge transaction fee and longer transaction fee.If bitcoin was found to be used as a currency then people no need to wait this much time for paying a small amount or big amount.So the development need to be made soon or else bitcoin will lose its value.Implementing the lightning network is a must development need to be done to solve the confirmation time issues.

Seems account has new owner, sir!

There is possibility that account has been hacked, you know  

[o_e_l_e_o]

I know I'm not DT, but I thought I'd chip in anyway. The account has 100% been bought or hacked. There is no other explanation to go from posts like this:

I have the following jhPrimeminer commandline:

jhPrimeminer-T16v2.exe -u username.XPM_1 -p x -m 31 -m2 37 -m3 43 -m4 47

How can I throttle the mining process to make my CPU still usable, let's say i want to dedicate 50% or 75% of its power to XPM mining.

I have an Ivybridge i5. I know I can throttle the mining with "-t 3" or "-t 2" down to less threads, but is there a way to throttle the mining process equally on each thread?

to posts like this:

The bitcoin will never settle for any price range for too long so we can't make any predictions based on the current price range since it is just happening for the last few months and the conditions can change at any time when the market changes so make the investment as long term hold to have safer capital if you just do trading too often means you will going to lose more money when the price dumps.

Given the account was either bought or hacked for the sole purpose of enrolling in a bounty campaign, I think a red tag is completely justified. It would also be worth flagging this up to @Hhampuz as manager of the campaign this account is enrolled in.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I know I'm not DT, but I thought I'd chip in anyway.

Aw, come on.  This was the only thing I asked for:

Can someone with some brains take a look at his post history and tell me if they agree with me or not?

....and you certainly have a well-oiled noggin, so your input is much appreciated.  I did tag him, but I didn't notify Hhampuz.  I've already posted in the Bitvest.io campaign thread (which he's managing) regarding lightlord and his previous campaign manager, and I don't feel like whacking the bee's nest in Hhampuz's eyes.  If someone else feels like doing that, it might be a good idea--but Hhampuz is a competent campaign manager and I have a feeling he'll discover the red trust before the next payday. 

Either way, it doesn't bother me what he does.  I just want to hear arguments for and against the tagging of supermine.

[Hhampuz]

I had supermine in a couple of my previous Campaigns where I didn't read all of the posts that the participants were making. I also didn't read back to the 2015 posts and had I done that I would have never hired him in the first place.

He'll be removed once I've sent payments today, thank you Pharmacist and the rest of you, I agree 100% that the account changed hands at one point and the posts that are being made lately from said account have no substance nor does it add anything of value to this forum.

Keep up the good work guys .

Edit; I agree with the negative trust given and I'll add one of my own later tonight as well.

It's OK if you miss checking someone's posts from 4 years back before accepting but precaution is better than cure. Most of the managers would just not bother checking if there is any scam accusations or scam reports made here for one of there camping participants. So I personally think you are a spam free manager and try to keep the campaign clean, just keep up with the good work!

Paying a spammer for his work would just mean taking part in the scam at some extent, so every manager should be very strict while accepting participants and checking there post history.

[The Cryptovator]

Account faridkifly most likely sold or change hand. I noticed from his trust rating, email address has been change recently. And there is long posting gap. Nearly 2 years posting gap and today he have applied for signature campaign. It's seems account already tagged for loan. However I think account is useless now due to multiple tag.

Seems like OP the account in the OP (supermine) is connected to some more accounts but the connection is not very strong for now: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124012.msg50353545#msg50353545

At least account sales would be a valid accusation for most of them. Additionally, I will send a PM to OP supermine to verify if he's still speaking German to have a final proof here.

I'm the OP of this thread--you're not talking about me, are you?  I don't speak German, never did.  Are you referring to supermine, by any chance?

Oops.  I'm a dummy, you obviously meant the OP of that thread, but then you'd be referring to yourself unless I'm missing something.  You mean the member in question, not 'OP'.  Just woke up, brain is fuzzy. lol

Of course there's more accounts connected.  Isn't there always?

Sorry for the confusion, my mistake, I meant the account mentioned in your OP (supermine). I sent him a PM but I think the case of supermine is clear.

And yes, it looks like the owner of the supermine account has some more accounts purchased back then. We have no strong connection for now but a large number of the accounts are obviously bought accounts for shitposting: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124012.msg50353545#msg50353545
