So much for the dude who alluded to me being some sort of conspiracy nut. HAHAHA

I guess there wasn't much happening in Bratislava, Slovakia (or thereabouts), for Filip to opt to bring attention to his sockpuppetry, thus causing a stir in the Bitcoin community. Here's to hopin' that Counterparty will be able to ride out the ripple effect:

I'm a real person and my identity is known. Not affiliated with anything happening in this thread as was not even aware of it until I saw the link in the Counterparty thread.

This is really fucked up! Looks like Adam Krellenstein was well aware of the sockpuppetry going on during the time he was conditioning Patrick Byrne-cum-Overstock for a Counterparty relationship. It was paramount to hype and continue the dialog about Counterparty as much as possible via the myriad sockpuppets. I don't even wanna guess as to what else about Counterparty was or is contrived.

6 hours, 49 minutes and 40 seconds later, gumcruise posted his very first post in the Counterparty thread pretending to be a NOOB.

This doesn't look too good for Counterparty given that Filip is their spokesperson. I have strong reason to believe that there's at least three other sockpuppets in play here under the control of Filip pumping Counterparty.

This no looks good.

I'd say for Filip to get back on our good grace he simply apologize and pay out the ).5 BTC equally distributed to all those providing an answer (I'm not one of them) in his tread mentioned in the OP. Upon doing such, DC may consider retracting his two negative trusts. It's his call. (no HAHAHA)

Thanks to the one and only Phinn for bringing the proof up here.

Pretty standard troll account and thread, Jr. Member "gumcruise" wastes a bunch of people's time waving around a 0.5 BTC reward. Pretty clear looking at the replies to the threads and quotes.

Eventually he edits the OP and thread title to "The #1 Bitcoin Conspiracy Barn" making it pretty obvious he wasted everyone's time.

Actually, he seems to have tried to cheekily made a bit of extra commission too by using an amazon affiliate link in the book he linked to, which backfires.

For quick reference, an amazon affiliate link requires an affiliate tag (basically an ID) to credit. The amazon website states how this is shown as follows: "For example, you must include your Associates ID or “tag” (appearing as XXXXX-20, or such other format as we may designate) as a parameter in the URL of each link you place on your site to the Amazon Site.". Keyword is that it is called a "tag" and ends in -20.

On July 6, 2015 user "deliciousowl" made a post linking to a book on amazon which used tag=hocayoli-20 as the affiliate identifier.

In our false giveaway thread by gumcruise, the post linking to a book on amazon also uses tag=hocayoli-20. If you think it's a coincidence, try searching "hocayoli" or "hocayoli-20" on Google. It's most definitely the same affiliate.

"deliciousowl" also happened to post on the false giveaway thread in a trollish manner, though this doesn't prove anything on its own, rather seems like a strange coincidence.

More juice:

Turns out he paid the 0.5 BTC prize to BitcoinStriker who is a proven alt of the scammer "Tymer" and also an alt of "HueSinger".
