Not sure if it's still true today but a while ago, the number of bot accounts actually outnumbered the genuine accounts:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bot-made-accounts-934827

And having so many useless accounts on a forum can in fact make the database large. Not sure about SMF but back when I managed a phpBB board, it was definitely the case.

Most of that discussion centers around spambot accounts but farmed accounts for selling are almost certainly a part of this mix.

hilariousandco said that he nuked about 20-30 accounts in one day during the last wave of bots so it's probably fair to assume that 50 or more bot accounts were being made daily. An account farmer might have 10 or 20 accounts under his control. Bot accounts are also pretty distinguishable from farmed accounts since they tend to add spammy links to their profile or use formulaic or nonsensical usernames (e.g. I once encountered a bot that would always name its accounts by getting a common first name and appending the name of a US state to the end so for example: JohnTexas, MikeAlabama, AliceCalifornia)

And if the account makes even just one post, then it quickly becomes obvious whether it's a bot or a human.

Read it somewhere ,
"when you create too many accounts from a single IP , the IP is considered as a TOR Node or a public proxy and it is banned and thus you can not make anymore accounts though you can still use the one's already made and they won't be banned"
So it's better you use some proxy to make the accounts , account trading is really so much atm , i see Digital Goods Section full oF BCT account , it should stop though sadly i don't think it's possible Sad

Am not so sure about it but i remember reading it somewhere on the forum. So that means if someone decides to make many accounts than they can make them from a Single IP ? I would say this should not happen as this would be in favor of Bots which create several accounts. The TOR nodes are already banned as i know .

Hope anyone more knowledgeable on this can confirm it.

I once made 20 accounts using a single IP and never once had any trouble. If there is a limit at all, then I doubt any normal user would reach it.

I doubt this is true. If you have your accounts banned for spam and create to new accounts that in turn get banned for spam your IP and network gets "evil points". This will allow you to create further accounts, but you have to pay a few btc in order to use them.

What you wrote sounds like the board would be banning Tor nodes.

I read about the TOP and proxy ban...
But it is not really a ban. If you use public proxy / tor node for registration on the forum then you are not allowed to write. You can pay a fee to access full functionality.
Read here something about this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/tor-tax-proxy-ban-938104

And about Bots which create several accounts (from a single IP)... Am not sure about, maybe this happened every day...
Sometimes i look use the member search look for new registered accounts. Many accounts are never used.
Here watch yourself: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=mlist;sort=registered;desc;start=0

By the way the first account was registered on 2009-11-18 ( admin; https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/admin-1 ) Today are over a half million accounts registered! But how many user has bitcointalk.org in real?

Sometimes i refresh regularly the user list and see every few minutes a new account. Some of them are never used. And some are only with few minutes online time, without a single post. I really wonder why are people creating accounts without using it. Or what was the reason for the registration. And why they never log in a second time.
Then i ask myself, could it be possible that a bot makes the forum big due to a mass of fake accounts?

I want to ask if i can do more accounts(bitcointalk account) in one IP address?
I believe it is possible. Just try it. Maybe you need different email addresses for registration...
But why do you want more as one account? Do you want scam someone?

you can have multiple account with same ip address however you need different email for registrations . or you can put anything on email option or leave it with some random words no matter . but putting email will help you in recovering your account.
your posts need to be constructive .

lol, my post is constructive! highly constructive. it support further discussions Wink
your notice about my writing is off-topic Tongue

I think he was speaking in general terms. That posts made in the forum need to be constructive.

Yes, they used to be baned, now we have Evil Points. Neither Tor nodes nor Proxies are banned, they just have a high amount of Evil Points because they get misused. Its not use Tor -> ban, its misuse Tor -> increase in Evil Points -> proxy ban

I saw this with the Evil Points. A while ago i have test it Wink
Evil Points are the value which is used to calculate how much someone has to pay to get access for full functionality of a account which was registered via tor / proxy. Only few satoshi in my case...
It is proxy specific how much Evil points someone has to pay. Evil points are given by the "activity of evil" on the proxy.

Few minutes ago i logged in my via proxy registered account, i would copy the message which says why i have to pay. But now, i got this one:

Code:
An Error Has Occurred!
Error: bitcoind seems to be offline (1). Email [email protected]

You need to input a unique email address during registration in order for your account to be created. However, the email address doesn't need to be valid since no confirmation email is ever sent out. You shouldn't just put in any random email address though, since if the one that you entered is already owned by someone else then whoever owns it can also see your PMs and even initiate a password recovery to gain access to your account.

Only if you enable notifications for PMs.

I believe it's enabled by default (at least that's definitely the case for my account). Most people don't tend to change the default forum settings.

yeah it's correct, PM notification is enabled by default on a new registered account...

Also, I'm pretty sure that TOR exit nodes are easily identifiable as TOR exit nodes so there's no reason to have a heuristic like "accounts created from IP" in order to guess what's TOR and what's not.

you can do that. bitcointalk do not filter based on ip address. there is no restriction that about one user one ip address.
you can login with two account in one ip address. i ever try it before and everything was good, no need to worry.

Yes, you can have as many accounts as you wish, however, what is important is the quality of your posts. If you make poor quality posts you're liable to have them all banned so take that into consideration.

You can create unlimited amount of accounts and sell them if you wish. They are not tied to your IP. Besides whoever uses mobile internet usually logs in with more IPs with their account.
