- I'm currently dedicating about 450k SP to fight self-comment voting abuse and I don't think the bot we're developing would have any problem detecting this guy's behavior. Would you mind linking me what user you're talking about ?

They are voting for each other’s comments and buying randowhale votes for comments. They have changed up a little bit now and appear to be waiting closer to 6d12 hour mark avoiding people noticing and nuking the earnings. He’s still got a few comments that are worth a fair bit if they are indeed abusing the system.
Some people now have looked over it and downvote some of the things. I’m not sure if what was not downvoted was consider “fair” or if more needs to be done. The biggest ones can be found nearing the 6d12h mark. Your investigation into the matter would be appreciated.
Whatever this dude is earning from his "abuse" is probably worth it.
From the whitepaper;
Your right everyone should just stop trying to control the wild jungle. The 120 SP/SBD earned between those 2 accounts from the reward pool last week 100% justified. Would been more if it was not for me meddling in their plans. Who cares about all other accounts doing the same thing in a pairs as well that’s only a few 1000 per week out of the reward pool for their 2 or 3 word comment spam.
It’s also just fine the 280 accounts controlled by this guy as well https://steemit.com/@warren.buffet/transfers
Or is it 1300 accounts.. 1500 accounts? It’s so hard to tell anymore. I’m sure most of those accounts are not bots.
Don’t you worry the bots won’t ever notice the potential of extracting out 50,000+ SP/SBD a week from the reward pool. Surly many different “resources” are not being tested out by the smaller subnets in that voting block.
I’ve spoken with a few people spent over 15 hours dealing with this type of thing and research. My conclusion is--why should I bother. It’s too hard to tell what a legit person in that group is and what a botted account. I'm just going be happy others are using there abilities to contribute to steemit in interesting ways.
I guess you are being sarcastic.
The point I make is straight from the whitepaper.
If someone is making 50k a week from scamming this platform - they earned that by exposing a major flaw. I don't think you will find 50k in self votes being a problem.
The hundred bucks those voters took from the pool is justified.
That's a lot of steem power. May I ask what you call abuse?
Becasue self-voting is not necessarily abuse. \
3 word comments = 5 bucks, that might warrant a flag but there is a lot is subjective here. Especially if others voted the comment up after.
With so much steem power going against self votes, I'd really like your comments on my in-depth post on the game theory of self-votes. The white paper is pretty clear in this aspect.
