Certainly. I've seen an increase in the number of newbie accounts with pretty constructive posts all around and I do merit them if I find the posts genuinely interesting or of substance.

It's important to note that a good portion of those are actually people copying posts from other places and passing them off as their own. Check the posts before you merit them and if they're copying, report them to the moderator as well.

Some sound like they've been around for years, and it's something interesting that they've a recently created account.
In simple words, it smells like a surge in multiple accounts to me. Roll Eyes

Laws of demand and offer probably.
With the usual account farming rendered useless and dormant account worthless it might be possible that the prices have gone "to the moon" and older members knowledgeable enough are replacing the usual bots

I saw one thread claiming that merit has reached prices of 18$ or so (which I highly doubt), but still, maybe creating new accounts, posting to earn 10 or so merits and selling them might be a profitable business ....

As long as the merit is really earned I doubt anyone has a problem with it.
Besides it's going to be far easier to see when the account has changed hands in this situation, when the user suddenly turns illiterate.

Ahh I see, i got your point.
As long if we transparent with our account and not to scam someone or bounty, then it's okay We have 2 account.. Am i correct?

The best way to do it is to leave trust from each account to the other saying it is your alt and then also post in the known Alts thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/known-alts-of-any-one-a-user-generated-list-mk-iii-2021-q2-2544574

That way there will be no misunderstanding.

There is mentioned, multiple account and account sales are allowed.
Its mean, no problem if 1person having 2 account?

It is allowed but unless you publically declare it then it will be considered untrustworthy behaviour and you'll get a red tag. For example, theymos has a second account called theymos_away and everyone know that so he's not hiding anything. If someone has multiple accounts so they can cheat bounties it is another story.

This could actually be a veiled way of sending merits to yourself. Given a good post, few would question the use of sMerit upon it.
However, this would only be to "new" account farmers rather than older ones since they would just as well post on their higher-ranked accounts and rank them up.

Perhaps it's a new wave of accounts being farmed as the max monthly merit cap is reached?

Recently I am policing on accounts with suspicious merit exchanges and I did noticed some of the high ranked accounts are actually giving suspicious amount of merits to some of their new accounts (ALT obviously). I am tagging them with my best.

I do have some ideas that I believe applying will really reduce this kind of alt farming abuses.

Abusers will always try to abuse everything they come across if they can. There are numbers of new accounts those are trying to make seriousgood posts and they do not have any alts

Me for example  Grin


But for me, i still don't know. Can we have 2 or more account?

I've noticed this as well. Is it a new more intelligent set of account farmers moving in to pick the business as shitposting account farmers are forced out? Or are more Bitcoin enthusiasts joining the forum? I guess we'll find out if these well-informed noobs suddenly start posting is broken pidgin English after they have ranked up a few times.  Wink

The worry thing is, if there is new account that created by other who already have accounr here with higher rank and then the new one create a good post and then the old account with the higher rank and have much merit, give merit to their new account's post.
Sorry, a bit difficult to explain it, because my english is not good enough..  Smiley

This seems strange to me. Since the merit system has been introduced, the forums (or at least I) have been witnessing a number of newbie accounts with some great knowledge posts. Some sound like they've been around for years, and it's something interesting that they've a recently created account.

Yep, i also thinking about this.

Because I remember, I've found on the bounty. People using 2 different account with 1 eth address.
I don't know, that is allowed or not..
