When you have spikes like this - that means a new bot maker found a way to break trough the filters.

it's true, because everytime there is this kind of pump, there are the same wall in the same exchange, is the third time that i see the 32 btc wall on kraken for example

must be a bot, the same bot

Increase in number of new forum members? May be two things could be possible.
1. Bitcoin getting more adoption.
2. Increas in spammers/scammers. Roll Eyes

Bitcoin is coming back for sure but these stats doesn't help because of bots.

These stats just mean signature campaigns are paying more , which correlates with how many accounts are created for farming purposes.

I expect further increase in accounts created, given that Bitcoin's price seems to be headed north.

Move On !!!!!!

Can't these damn bots get blocked somehow by the forum? I mean this is pure BS, having bots registering so many accounts for no matter which purpose. Farming accounts, trolling or whatever.

I think we should have a bot only section. It would be interesting to eavesdrop on their plans to take over the world.

bots dominate the creation of accounts lately. especially since accounts have gained value due to signature campaigns. easy money as they sell accounts or use them for signature campaigns.

Crypto Swap Exchange

I'm not sure all of them are real people Roll Eyes

I saw many new "members" tried to share about ponzi, HYIP, MMM, & other else with their refferal link & i saw few new "members" tried to share malware links & hide it too.
Also, many new "members" who tried to spam, trolls, share FUD, made false/fake statement & so on
Furthermore, i'm sure accounts seller & few members also make new accounts every month to sell or use it when it reached high rank

I actually used these stats in 2011 until the first spam account waves. I used to interpret it to mean that BTC is not dead yet.

Looking at how much "people" registered here in this forum is no indication of how Bitcoin is doing. Account farmers and trolls may have hundreds of accounts to spam with or farm signature campaigns.

Actually it is if you drop the other data.

A person has its limits too, and not even a bot can do that inifnite times before they run out of IP addresses or whatever.

So without a reference point, just looking at the growth curve, we can say that the other data (due to high correlation) is good info, but yes the account registration is not good data.

I hope the forum will have better filters in the future.

Shit, you are right, I never thought that bots make thousands of account just for sabotage. This pretty much screws up the statistics.

But i`ve checked the pageviews,nr of posts, nr of topics, and those 3 are correlated, while this one isnt correlated with that, so yea probably bot activity.
