Let me know if you believe this thread belongs to "Scam Accusations"Currently attempting to link them to actual bitcointalk accounts. Accounts will be posted below. Counted 56 accounts so far, NONE have been tagged.To give you a little background, Rubius's Bounty Campaign was first managed by the team themselves, but I offered my services to them and they hired me. I immediately stopped any bounty-related activity due to rampant cheating, especially in their airdrop.
Their airdrop spreadsheet can be seen
here. Out of 6,800 entries, more than 5,000 were fake
(I am quite certain the number is closer to 6,000 than to 5,000, I only had the sanity to find ~5,200). I compiled a list of every single ETH address used, but the airdrop did not require a bitcointalk account, so I
cannot link the ETH addresses with actual bitcointalk accounts, but
I hope this list will be integrated in other campaign managers' blacklists in order to prevent these addresses from abusing any future campaigns.
Every single ETH address may be verified by following a few steps.- Copy any address from the list below, CTRL+F it in the airdrop spreadsheet provided above.
- If you find more than one result, it means the address is a duplicate, thus used for cheating the airdrop.
- Otherwise, you must start copying the shared link/twitter username/telegram username of that particular address and insert it in the search box. If you find any duplicates, all results but the first one are fake and have been used to abuse the airdrop. I made sure to exclude accidental double registrations.
- In case you do not find any duplicates, it means that the shared link provided either does not exist or it belongs to somebody else. You may check that by actually checking the link and, if applicable, comparing the twitter username with the username in the address bar (after clicking on the link).
- There might be other reasons why an address has been added to the list. Use common sense.
The list will be provided via a pastebin link: https://pastebin.com/a50bTztw (list already de-duped).
Of course, after creating a new airdrop, I compiled a new
(smaller) list. Of course, you may use the steps above to verify them. The current airdrop spreadsheet is available
here (grey = incorrect registrations,
red = abuse attempt)

Conclusion:
Holy shit, some people are using scripts in order to create entries. In ~30 min, more than 1,400 fake entries appeared in the spreadsheet, all following the same pattern. Hundreds of addresses belonging to a single individual is indeed scary. The worst part is that bounties that are not properly managed
(like the old airdrop of Rubius) by people who are aware of all these shenanigans are
(and will be) victims to bounty abusers.
