Cheater just copies your username and profile link and registers for the bounty.
Cheater can do this with as many accounts as they want well aware that reputable members like you could never visit the bounty section to participate in the bounties
This mostly happens with bounties who managers do not emphasize proof of authentication

I have encounter that so many times I have at least three entries scammers using his own wallet, that is why only participate in a bounty campaign, where there is a proof of authentication, or visit the spreadsheet more often to check if there is double entry of your name.

Personally, I couldn't care less if I'm blacklisted from spamming bounty campaigns.

Well, I might care of them. Indeed, it's something extremely rare, but sometimes I still try to join campaigns.

I also know it's a terrible amount of work to manually go through thousands of lines in a spreadsheet, and remove the many imposters. It gets worse if they can just use the same wrong username again. That just means the campaign has fundamental flaws.

Yes, it's flawed, yes, it's a huge amount of work to fix it for everybody.
But searching for my name in a few lists and cross it out is a 5 minutes job.

Bitcointalk accounts are used for communication and banning in subsequent campaigns

This doesn't make sense. It's not allowed to send bulk messages based on entries that anyone can make, I haven't received any communication based on the fake entries, and blacklisting is useless as long as they can use random accounts.
A very easy fix would be if the bounty campaign doesn't ask for Bitcointalk usernames at all.

Correct. And it should not be hard to also remove one column everywhere.

I wouldn't tag him for this, it doesn't fit the description:

Sorry, was away on a trip w/out internet. It appears someone is applying under other people's bitcointalk names, even though there is no restriction on the amount of accounts someone can apply with.

Bitcointalk accounts are used for communication and banning in subsequent campaigns, if someone wants to use other peoples, it shouldn't harm anyone, except themselves.

And my name is still on the list. So the manager doesn't care at all about cleaning up or doing something about the impersonators.
Probably in the future I may get onto certain lists of users that are not allowed to join certain bounty campaigns.

give me your cryptos

As you can probably tell by the spreadsheet, I have been away for a little.

Bitcointalk links are mainly used for communication, not necessarily verification from my past campaigns. Only in extreme cases (scammer, serial reports/offences, etc). Sorry this has gotten so many people involved. This has happened in a previous campaign, where there were thousands of telegram bots entering, one every couple of seconds into my campaign. They were all kicked in the end.

Obviously, you all haven't been hacked (unless it's something unrelated). Someone is scraping usernames for use of farming bounty tokens even though you can sign up with multiple accounts under one bitcointalk account, and I have no idea why they would.

EDIT: To stop this i'll see what I can do to put in captchas into the next form we do.

EDIT 2: I can't find a way to make captchas work without making it easy to get around, as theres no actual captcha support. For now I can make it so you require a google account, and you can only apply once. But this means legit people with multiple accounts cant apply more than once.

by the way is a very old technique. On this sheet the red one was reported by me long time ago, still missing a lot of them.

How does this happen? I never registered for this bounty campaign and now my account is listed on the spreadsheet. There may be others. You may want to see if your account appears as registered for this campaign. This really pisses me off. I don't think my account was hacked though.

It's a spreadsheet. Anybody can register anything they want and apparently the bounty manager doesn't care enough to verify. I bet satoshi is doing bounties somewhere too. Such is the world of shitcoining.

I think it was LoyceV (on post #4) who suggested that everyone on the forum should put up their ETH address on their profiles and that bounty managers should use only ETH address from the profile links submitted for payment when I opened this thread on it Sept 2018 https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.45451680. That's a plausible solution to this whole scam bounty stuff but BM aren't keying in to that suggestion and that's why this still lingers. I believe managers of the altcoin bounty campaigns are the major cause of forum spamming.

I didn't know that something like this exists. Maybe this could be a game? Hunting spreadsheets with cheaters. Winner gets the bounty. Lol

I was looking for a bounty cheaters like using same address, same twitter account etc. when I found Lauda on the list and I was like "what", then I posted all my finding in the thread I mentioned above.
And the worst part was that this was just the first random bounty spreadsheet I open.
Just imagine how many are out there.
When I have some more free time I'll start hunting them again.
