User winspiral keep shilling certain altcoin

[ABCbits]

I noticed user winspiral[1] keep shilling certain altcoin called BCRM/BitcoinRM. Since late 2025, he created at least 63 posts and threads about it in multiple boards[2] and 136 posts many years ago[2]. This user also accused of running HYIP/ponzi many years ago[3], where he received at least 3 negative tag/feedback due to it. I create this thread as reference for both negative feedback and reporting his shilling post to moderator.

P.S. I'm considering to add flag type 1, but i'm not sure whether it's appropriate.


Here are few examples of his shilling post.

Promoting his website and that coin when the topic is about not falling to ponzi scheme.

Suggesting to mine altcoin and visiting his website, when the thread is created under Bitcoin board.

Promoting that altcoin when someone asked he was inactive.

It's an old account, but looks like a shitposter. I reported his post last week:

Sorry I have understood nothing...
could someone explain ...

It was deleted.

In this post, he confirms he withdrew $0.00283. I don't even think the account is hacked, judging by his post history he's always been a shitposter.

Sorry if Winspiral escaped from the french section.
I see he's doing the same crap in the US section. He's an old stubborn guy who doesn't understand much. His account hasn't been hacked, he's not a scammer (but don't put 1$ in his thing).
No need to create another flag, he won't understand.
Feel free to report him.

I see. By the way, he also do same thing on "Deutsch (German)" local board.

Feel free to report him.

Thanks, i already did that for his english shill post.

I don't know if it's necessary right now since his posts are getting deleted by the moderators, but I think his account should have a trust flag as well. Perhaps a type 1? New members and guest users are most likely to fall for his crap rather than some of us, the old members, in case some posts don't get deleted.

We have faith in you since you are a forum staff regarding the 'account' not being hacked. But how do you make sure he isn't a scammer or won't scam in the future? If something happens, then victims or forum users would blame you for your statement. You may have access to check whether the accounts change hands or not, but none of us would make sure he will not scam.

No need to create another flag, he won't understand.

I think so, since his account is already tagged; a flag isn't necessary IMO. Just better report those posts that are not appropriate based on the main thread. It would be a paid shill, or he won the token.

I think flag not yet necessary for now, already have negative feedback. If someone fall into scam then victims would create a flag.

I'm sorry my dear Halab but so far it is impossible to put the least $cent in my <<thing>>
People can just make a donation...and they are not forced to do...

I precise because your words could introduce people in error by thinking that it is possible to put 1$ or more in my "thing"

I can't predict the future.
I see Winspiral as someone who tinkers with his blockchain project in his garage for fun. He didn't create it with the intention of scamming people, that's why I say he's not a scammer.
Now, if one day his project is worth millions, I can't guarantee that he won't be tempted to do a rug pull or something like that.

Sorry, I understand your project as much as you understand the forum rules
Stop spamming in every thread. I'm not the only one you are annoying.

[winspiral]

thanks for this topic...
we can see that so far every thing about the project is working fine...
Sorry for my missunderstanding about certain forum rules...i belive i have understood more about with your help...
Even if I do not agree with the word "shilling"...sorry if you see it so...
Have fun...

-snip-

What you are doing is actually "shilling" and to make matters worse, your past history in the forum says a lot about your character. I don't think there was any misunderstanding of certain forum rules. I think you just decided to promote your scams here from over 7 years ago, and there is nothing that shows that you are someone willing to change

This user also accused of running HYIP/ponzi many years ago[3], where he received at least 3 negative tag/feedback due to it. I create this thread as reference for both negative feedback and reporting his shilling post to moderator.

And from what I remember these feedbacks weren't right. That project didn't even had option to invest. It was some kind of complicated Bitcoin faucet, but poor communication made it to look like some kind of ponzi scheme.

I remember this guy from my early days here what was about 10 years ago, he was active in Micro earnings board. Don't think that he is scammer. He just isn't able to explain his projects clear enough in English. Though, what is described in OP isn't ok offcourse.

This poor dude spamming the forum and disturbing our peace. Shame on you winspiral. How dare you?

Jokes on him, I somewhat miss the good old days where we didn't have one annoying altcoin shill but thousands of them.

That was peak bitcointalk. The ICO days.

I only got 10 pages of unread topics/forum posts since my last visit. It used to be hundreds. We had a stream of new posts and topics... Those days are long gone it seems...
