It seems that there are now many sock puppets.
Please don't allow them to become stakeholder - it would be bad for the reputation of NXTL.
It would be the easiest way just to allow investments from members with 5 or 10+ posts per account, wouldn't it?
I do agree, but not all of them are like that, we are promoting NXTL on other forums and many are registering here for the first time! But i can't deny the fact that there are a lot that are trying to take advantage of the small fee! We will raise the fee later on so we can scare them off. Any other ideas that will help us improve the coin??
What you could do is check for possible red flags:
- Recently signed up on bitcointalk.
- Little to no activity after signing up with bitcointalk and after claiming stake spot.
- If they came from another site, then they should have a post history on the other site even if they don't use bitcointalk. Demand they send communication from the other site to your own account on that site in order to verify that it is their account.
- In the NEM thread, they came up with great ways to verify if someone was a sockpuppet by comparing transaction ids or something like that. I don't have the aptitude for that, but others might be able to do it for a bounty. From what I can tell, NEM found lots of sockpuppets this way and simply refunded those people's money.
Sockpuppets could potentially ruin nxt lite. These are pump and dumpers. I think it would be in the best interest to try our best to weed these sockpuppets out. Some people may get legitimately hosed in the process, but it would be better than bringing down the entire project due to greedy people with 10 fake accounts.
