Need help with an oddball post by xysheeh03

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I noticed this post by xysheeh03 in B&H, a section which I recently unblocked:

Because of this, many newbies will be inspired and motivated because of your understanding and goodwill. I hope I belong to those who are granted.

It's obviously a typical shitpost written in piss-poor English.  Since I'm on the hunt for newbies to merit, I checked his post history and found this one he made recently:

What is the blockchain technology? A simple and easy explanation for beginners about the basics of technology.
If you start out in the world of digital currencies, either by investing or mining in any currency, "Blocking Technology" will be the word you listen to, also known as block chain technology, and you will see its connection to topics such as encryption, currency protection from theft, how to transfer information to others and decentralization.

The importance of your understanding of technology and your understanding of the fundamentals of blockchain will improve your understanding of the digital currency and help you understand the market faster, especially as we see a large number of companies and governments that are starting to take advantage of the technology of the Blockchain because of its features and characteristics.

Basics of Blockchain Technology:
First of all, we must know that everything has a method of transmission. This method has a system of protection or encryption. For example, funds are placed in banks and must be withdrawn by the same signature or presence. However, in the world of blockchain technology and speed, a modern principle is emerging which is better, faster and safer than any other means.

Blockchain technology is a decentralized technique for storage and financial transactions and can not be modified or manipulated. For example, when you request transfer of funds to another account anywhere, this currency moves to a pool of currencies or lumps. The blockers send the agreed number or number of funds to the other account and register The number of blocks within this account.
The word "blockchain" means block mass and follows the numbers together. In this way, it can be said that the technology of the blockichain is a large digital book recorded within millions of figures such as transfers and accounts and dates of their own, the production of a fictitious person called the name of Satoshi Nakamoto, and also must be aware of the huge amount of funds transferred by the Blockchain and more than one hundred billion. All of which were made safely and easily without the need for an intermediary.


The safety of Blockchain technology does not rely on storing data stored in one place, but depends on storing it through millions of servers and places within a common database for all. This, of course, is difficult and even impossible to penetrate because millions of devices can not be accessed simultaneously. This information is available and available to all. In other words, but it is impossible to change them and tamper with them, and it is similar to the BitTorrent download system, which makes all its data decentralized.
One of the most important features of encryption for the current security situation, such as username, password is the adoption of the technology of the Blockchain to encrypt and protect information, and the origin of the existence of a network of safety (public - private) as the company produces the public safety is a sequence of symbols and letters and numbers, Private security is the number that the account holder creates and must save and protect.

Uses of blockchain technology:
The technology of the block chain is not limited to its use of financial services through the conversion of digital currencies, on the contrary, some countries, such as Honduras, are used to register land and know their owners through full encryption and smart contracts, which means away from paper transactions such as contracts and others and the trend towards more means, and followed by many countries such as Georgia and Sweden, although the details of the project is not 100% clear, but a very wonderful step.
It can also be used in the elections in all its forms. The citizen can identify his candidate during the election period and send his opinion to the General Election Commission, which in turn receives the information and knowledge of the winning candidate, and with the development of various stages and technological trends. So that it is not only for money.

"Know Your Customer" or (KYC) and anti-money laundering procedures:
The currency of Bitcoin and some digital currencies can be abused by some to take them away to suspicious tracks, but today some companies are anti-money laundering services, which may help in the spread of the technology and acceptance of the Blockchain by more countries, is to follow the global anti-money laundering systems for and a number of new projects have emerged in this area, including the traceto project, which aims to build a decentralized network of customer identification procedures.

The above post is nothing like what he usually posts, but after googling parts of it I can't find proof of plagiarism.  There was a question asked in that thread as to whether he'd translated it from somewhere.  

Does anyone feel like doing any detective work on this post?  I have a very strong suspicion that this is plagiarism.

I tried with https://smallseotools.com/plagiarism-checker/ but it was taking to this post every time https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5070635.0 then I tried with https://www.quetext.com and I found this http://prntscr.com/m1nw8g

Meaning I can not say that it was plagiarized.  May be the use gave it a shot and really created something from his own.

May be the use gave it a shot and really created something from his own.

Yeah, but for one thing, I doubt it.  Shitposters rarely break their pattern of one-line simpleton garbage to write a whole essay like that. 

Second, the quoted post shows a much greater understanding of bitcoin/blockchain tech than the rest of his posts do, and while the English isn't perfect, it looks different enough from the rest of his posts to stick out like a sore pecker.  No matter how hard I tried, I wouldn't be able to improve my French if I tried to make the best post I possibly could in the French section. 

There's no way in my mind that a consistent shitposter who writes posts like these:

For me, to be the most valuable crypto currency coin yes, it has reached its goal. But if its about goal to be recognized around the globe, i think its not that far that bitcoun has come, because there are some country that are not allowing bitcoins legally. However this thing must not make bitcoun enthusiast go weak, even it will make us to be strong and more unite to be able the bitcoin reached its goal.

Prices of btc always expected to go up yearly. And that's a good thing to the investors and traders.

I think yes, although we do not know the outcome of the market's future, we can say to that bitcoin can continue to decrease its price, or maybe we can predict the reverse way. But its just a guess opinion we never know the future of the market.

It is said in the graphs and datas that the future of bitcoin is increasing positively. And this is a good issue on the part of bitcoin investors, that they might have earn a profit on increasing bitcoins price. Thus bitcoin will grow its fundamental and its influence around the world.

Do you really think an expert on blockchain tech who could write a long essay on bitcoin/blockchain would keep posting empty nonsense posts like the above?  They might be long enough to satisfy a sig campaign character minimum, but they say absolutely nothing useful.

What is the blockchain innovation? A basic and simple clarification for novices about the nuts and bolts of innovation.

In the event that you begin in the realm of advanced monetary forms, either by putting or mining in any cash, "Blocking Technology" will be the word you tune in to, otherwise called square chain innovation, and you will see its association with points, for example, encryption, money assurance from robbery, how to exchange data to other people and decentralization.

The significance of your comprehension of innovation and your comprehension of the basics of blockchain will enhance your comprehension of the advanced money and help you comprehend the market quicker, particularly as we see a substantial number of organizations and governments that are beginning to exploit the innovation of the Blockchain on account of its highlights and attributes.

Nuts and bolts of Blockchain Technology:

Most importantly, we should realize that everything has a technique for transmission. This strategy has an arrangement of security or encryption. For instance, reserves are put in banks and should be pulled back by a similar mark or nearness. Nonetheless, in the realm of blockchain innovation and speed, an advanced standard is rising which is better, quicker and more secure than some other methods.

Blockchain innovation is a decentralized strategy for capacity and monetary exchanges and can not be changed or controlled. For instance, when you ask for exchange of assets to another record anyplace, this money moves to a pool of monetary forms or irregularities. The blockers send the concurred number or number of assets to the next record and enroll The quantity of squares inside this record.

"Blockchain" signifies square mass and pursues the numbers together. Along these lines, it tends to be said that the innovation of the blockichain is an expansive computerized book recorded inside a large number of figures, for example, exchanges and records and dates of their own, the creation of an imaginary individual called the name of Satoshi Nakamoto, and furthermore should know about the gigantic measure of assets exchanged by the Blockchain and more than one hundred billion. Which were all made securely and effortlessly without the requirement for a go-between.

The wellbeing of Blockchain innovation does not depend on putting away information put away in one place, however relies upon putting away it through a huge number of servers and places inside a typical database for all. This, obviously, is troublesome and even difficult to infiltrate on the grounds that a great many gadgets can not be gotten to all the while. This data is accessible and accessible to all. As it were, yet it is difficult to transform them and alter them, and it is like the BitTorrent download framework, which makes every one of its information decentralized.

A standout amongst the most critical highlights of encryption for the present security circumstance, for example, username, secret key is the appropriation of the innovation of the Blockchain to encode and ensure data, and the cause of the presence of a system of wellbeing (open - private) as the organization delivers the general population security is a grouping of images and letters and numbers, Private security is the number that the record holder makes and should spare and secure.

Employments of blockchain innovation:

The innovation of the square tie isn't constrained to its utilization of monetary administrations through the transformation of computerized monetary forms, unexpectedly, a few nations, for example, Honduras, are utilized to enlist land and know their proprietors through full encryption and keen contracts, which implies far from paper exchanges, for example, contracts and others and the pattern towards more methods, and pursued by numerous nations, for example, Georgia and Sweden, despite the fact that the subtleties of the venture isn't 100% clear, however an exceptionally magnificent advance.

It can likewise be utilized in the decisions in the entirety of its structures. The national can distinguish his hopeful amid the decision time frame and send his assessment to the General Election Commission, which thusly gets the data and information of the triumphant competitor, and with the advancement of different stages and mechanical patterns. With the goal that it isn't just for cash.

"Know Your Customer" or (KYC) and against tax evasion methods:

The cash of Bitcoin and some advanced monetary forms can be mishandled by some to remove them to suspicious tracks, however today a few organizations are hostile to illegal tax avoidance administrations, which may help in the spread of the innovation and acknowledgment of the Blockchain by more nations, is to pursue the worldwide enemy of tax evasion frameworks for and various new tasks have developed here, including the traceto venture, which plans to manufacture a decentralized system of client recognizable proof techniques.

Yeah, I'm aware of article spinners--such an ugly use of technology, IMO.  I'm also aware of my own limitations in doing detective work on stuff like this, and I know there are members here who can work magic in unspinning or re-translating a plagiarized post.  I do appreciate the links to those tools. 

91% unique, it says.  Bitcointalk doesn't exactly have an official cutoff for what constitutes plagiarism.  Does anyone have something like that, e.g., if something is 75% or above unique, it's considered an original work?

Can someone else verify that it was a translation version of plagiarism?

Looks like it. See below what I got via Google Translate. Some words have been edited (e.g. "blockchain") but the rest of it is eerily similar, see e.g. "lumps":
