After getting one spamming newbie nuked earlier, I've discovered the account is linked to bunch of other new accounts, all created in the last 2 days, all with the same naming scheme, all showing up in the same threads, all posting the same one line spam. They are all obviously part of the same farming ring, may well be a bot. Would be grateful for a mod/patroller to take a look and nuke them all.

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

These newly created accounts seem related and might be part of the same group:
Same naming scheme: Two words, no space and upper-case first letters.
The first two already started posting and mostly reply to the same thread with random but on-topic "researched data".

Good spot. I've reported the first two on your list to be nuked, as they are definitely part of the same ring, with exact same naming and posting patterns. The rest haven't posted yet, but I'll keep an eye on them and for future accounts. I've checked all accounts up to 2563750, and found two more potentials who are yet to post:

Those accounts created and posted using a bot? I see many more accounts with same pattern like this.
What connects the accounts is
- Name pattern
- Time of creation
- Posting pattern (posting in the same threads with the same one-liners)

That's why @o_e_l_e_o is waiting for the new accounts to post to determine if they are connected to those previously nuked and then report them if they turn out to be connected.

Please, If you see anything connected by those three parameters in the recently created accounts feel free to report in this thread.

Here are even more which don't fit the naming scheme, but exactly fit the same pattern of activity of registering, immediately making 10 one- or two- liners in quick succession in many of the same threads, and then going offline. The Date Registered and Last Active times are also of interest.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2563517 - brilliantboi - Last Active: March 16, 2019, 11:11:33 PM. One minute later AmbitiousTraffic from above registers (March 16, 2019, 11:12:36 PM).

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2563815 - rachellsunny - Last Active: Today at 03:19:19 PM. One minute later the following account registers:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2563862 - andareas - Last Active: Today at 04:35:43 PM. Three minutes later the following account registers:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2563894 - chipsnchill

This last account (chipsnchill) has just registered and only made 2 posts at the time of me posting this. Will be interesting to see if I'm now predicting these scam accounts before they even get started.

Edit: Yup, fits the bill perfectly.

Edit 2: All now nuked. Thanks again mods.
