Could it be...ICO bumping service? Bumping bounty to keep it on top for more promotion?
I mean, they all applied to bounties with social media accounts which don't exist, except telegram which is inactive anyway, with invalid eth addy's:
The team doesn't even have a proper ANN thread yet; it's an actual startup based in China, unlike most ICOs. They are, however, pretty naive when it comes to Bitcointalk. Someone could have tricked them into hiring such a service under false pretenses (they were tricked already regarding something else, but I'm not going to go into the details of that). Since I don't know what exactly the cause of this is, I can't exclude any possibilities. However, given what I just said and my experience with my contact I am in strong belief that this isn't the case.
Keep in mind that it is also possible that an enemy of Vena or me could be doing this. The Telegram campaign was under attack before the thread got attacked.
Nothing is real. I am not tech person, is ddos possible this way?
Yes, of course. A DDoS is possible with anything that asks for resources or sends them to the server for processing. However, given the rate-limiting, cloudflare and the type of resources (plaintext posts) I don't see how it could ever become viable.
Lauda (as a bounty manager) because mostly thought she is not checking bounties she overrolls.
Are you kidding me? My bounties have by far the
highest rejection rate[1] in the campaigns that have the highest number of cheaters (Telegram && Content). Content currently being at over 70%, and TG over 60% (still being processed).
That's an abusive attack to Lauda
That's also one of the possibilities.
We can assume they are just bounty bumping services.
As I have just written above, I highly doubt that. It is more likely that it is either: a) Random bumping (post in multiple threads to avoid detection); b) Attack targeted at me.
Update: Some numbers are in for Telegram.
Total entries: 2949
Rejected entries: 2666[2]
Rejection rate: ~90.4%
[1] At least from what I have seen so far, especially content stuff (e.g. duplicate submissions across different domains are often accepted).
[2] Quite a lovely number.
