Yeah, the beginning totally made sense. The first indicator was that the numbers match mine and that its a strange coincident that another node would have very similar traffic. Some of the later changes make no sense though, even considering low english skills. The spouse part made me smile a bit though.

Recombination of previous posts without producing utter non sense is pretty impressive as well. Is this what the forum bot is meant to detect? It should be possible to analyse new posts in a similar way the  spambots generate them and report findings to staff.

It looks like it is using some kind of tool that replacing various words with synonyms and occasionally slightly rephrasing certain statements. The two paragraphs are saying almost exactly the same thing and in the same order.

It looks like a pretty advanced bot to me.

also My spouse and i constrained the number of contacts for you to 50.

Yeah likely bot. Nuked. We've had some pretty smart ones in the past that would find synonyms for words and change a few. Also one ages ago was pulling different sentences from posts from several users and putting them into one paragraph but the strangest thing was that they made sense and you wouldn't have known if you hadn't've seen the previous posts.

A transaction - or even a new block -  is not the big factor though. In my experience the biggest impact is another full node syncing. My node typically hovers at 60-150 KiB/s upstream, but spikes way over 600 KiB/s from time to time. Usually only for a few hours at max. This happens when I run updates or when another node is connected for snycing. This impact will probably smaller as more and more nodes run 0.10.0 and can sync more efficiently from different nodes.

As you can see from the stats it never used more than 200 GB per month. Its connected @100Mbit/s and I limited the number of connections to 50. A higher connection speed and more connected nodes will probably result in more traffic. Maybe zvs can tell more about that as they run several full nodes and might have more insight on this.

Any transaction -- or possibly fresh block -- is not the actual big element although. If you ask me the most important effect is an additional entire node syncing. The node usually hovers at 60-150 KiB/s upstream, although spikes technique above 600 KiB/s from time to time. Typically just a couple of hours at optimum. This kind of takes place after i manage revisions or perhaps when an additional node is linked with regard to snycing. This kind of effect will likely smaller sized because increasingly more nodes manage 0. 10. 0 and may sync more effectively from distinct nodes.Since you can see from the gambling the item never employed in excess of 190 GB every month. Its linked @100Mbit/s and also My spouse and i constrained the number of contacts for you to 50. A greater network pace plus much more linked nodes will likely result in far more targeted visitors. Perhaps zvs can easily say to far more about that as they manage several entire nodes and also could have far more information with this.

Esp. the bolded part makes me believe that this is some sort of account farming bot.
