My brother wants to open bitcointalk account

[Raihan.arh]

My younger brother also have interest in bitcointalk. Can he creat bitcointalk account in his new mobile. 

N.B. In our house I also have bitcointalk account in my mobile. But we use same wifi. Is there any problem if he creat bitcointalk account in his mobile.

[mocacinno]

no, no real problem... you're allowed to have as many alt accounts as you want, as long as you don't abuse them.
This is even less of a problem, since it's not an alt account but rather a second account using the same ip.

[Tim-BTC]

Just set up an account with your  brother’s email address.

Same IP address, no big deal.

What there's no problem having one? I thought that having an alt is a bad thing and is frowned upon in this forum. Although I don't feel like making one now though, I am already doing great with this account and I have other ways to make money already like staking, NFTs and blockchain games.

You can even have 2 accounts and it's fine. So if it's not even yours, it should not be a problem.
But... if you join the same bounties with both accounts and they're actually yours or you and your brother get to write by mistake from the same account.. then problems may occur because it will be seen as bounty cheating.

I think that my answer clears up this too.

You will probably face that 'evil fee' thing, try creating account and see how it goes.

Creating multiple accounts from a single IP does no increase the amount of evil associated with it, it rather goes up when an account from that IP gets banned.

It shouldn't be probable, except Raihan.arh has had an account banned before or paid for evil fee while registering on the forum, if not, the new user would likely have no problem registering on the forum.

I don't see any problem, OP. Just take note of what NeuroticFish said. In cases that you have an encounter with evil fees like what libert19 mentioned above, go here : Remove Proxyban (evil fees) - email to get whitelisted for free. It should be unlikely for you, unless a scenario mentioned by Upgrade00 happened.

There are good reasons to have an alt account. You could use one primarily for discussion/s and the other one for business-related stuffs.

Most of the time those alts were associated with plagiarizers that don't understand that once they're banned for good, they are no longer welcome.

I never ever thought of making one too until some time ago when I had to find out why my main got suspended.

You are free to use wifi, although one wifi you use 100 people and so does the cellphone you use and also if you want to create 1-10 accounts on this Bitcointalk.

What I need to say to you is: The rules you need to obey and never break.
Every place of discussion in this forum has rules, before you do something you read first, what not to do and what to do, if you always obey the rules in this forum, be it campaigns, Bitcointalk and many others, you are safe without any problems.

I will give an example of the rules that should not be done and the rules that can be done on the Bitcointalk forum.

1. Topic: Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ
2. Topic: Known Alts of any-one - A User Generated List Mk III (2021 Q3)
3. Topic: Signature Campaign Guidelines (read this before starting or joining a campaign)

And many others that you should read and understand.

There is nothing wrong to have alt account, as long as you're not abusing signature campaigns and bounties with multiple accounts or do other harmful activity. Many members, including theymos here have alt accounts for valid reasons. For example they are using alt accounts when they access forum through not safe connection like public Wi-Fi. Or they use alt account for their business here. We can find many reasons.
Though, abusers often using excuses that's their brother's, father's, dog's or other family member account when they get caught abusing campaigns. But I hope that's not case with OP.

[The Cryptovator]

The forum itself doesn't prevent using the same wifi even the same device. As long as you do not abuse the forum and trust system then even you can use an alt account. It's not a problem at all. Since your brother is interested in the forum, then we should welcome him. Just explain to him about the forum culture. If your brother abuses the forum system then you might in trouble.

For the record, you may leave neutral feedback on your brother's profile. Although it wouldn't help you both if you abuse the forum and trust system. We know everyone which is good and bad things. So just always try to avoid bad things either you have alts or not. If you make the excuse that we are brothers and that's why we have been using the same address then it will not valid excuse to the community. Don't make such as excuse and don't abuse the forum.

Yes, your "brother" can have an account  . Heck, your mother father and dog can even have one. Or even your entire office. Just don't shitpost from them.

Imagine being a boss and watching your subordinates shitposting on Bitcointalk instead of tending to their jobs because they probably get paid more

....or even the OP's whole community.

This post describes it pretty much in a single picture. lol. :p

I think we should remain simple & not discourage him and Yes, OP you can have a account for your brother and it will not be a problem for you or anyone in your home.
Lets hope he is asking in good faith and there is no other intention.

It wasn't a real office. They were all his accounts and that was just his excuse to try explain why there was dozens of accounts using the same IP.

Gotcha.

When I was a mod, there was a function to reveal duplicate accounts by IP addresses. Many fail to see that coming.

Only admins have access to that function so a lot of abuse will go unnoticed but sometimes people overstep the line which forces some accounts to be looked into.

[iamsheikhadil]

As far as I know, there won't be any problem really if he joins the forum, because many a times not only on private but there are people who join with public WiFi so technically they also all have same IP addresses etc. But I think problem might occur if he joins campaigns the same that you join, that might raise some eyebrows because very well, people have been caught using their alts to participate in campaigns to make more money. So that's prohibited. Hope you find an exact answer by someone who knows better
