An automated spammer and plagiarist added pictures with POW mining to its arsenal
Its most recent account is natur-pur
It is a spam bot that opportunistically buys votes on preexisting spam that it posted for this purpose alone (and to attract people whom try to make curation rewards)
Here is some evidence to ponder about:
awesome-gadgets / abandi / best-strategy / natur-par / steem-network / lucky-robin /

notice that:
- awesome gadgets created both accounts
- Both accounts display the same automated opportunistic vote bidding at the last moment.

Recently, this spammer opened a new account, with a similar automated behavior, except for one thing:
This time it has pictures with planted code that mine POW cryptocurrencies through the steemit blog page.
You can try it yourself:
https://steemit.com/@natur-pur
This came to mind:

See my comments on spaminator report threads:
I am almost sure that I had another, but it is hard to impossible to browse on steemit, my guess is that it is due to their adoption of fecebook libraries.
I searched roughly 3 months deep into steemcleaners' replies and did not find it there, but I also lost my faith in them even sooner, so it may be that I never posted any report about this case there.
See my comments in this thread:
https://steemit.com/abuse/@mattockfs/curation-reward-payout-is-low-use-your-vp-to-clean-up-the-platform
I notified the following preminers and witnesses about it:
abusereports (bernie), adm, gtg , pfunk, sneak, spamminator (twice), themarkeymark, timcliff
adm did a pretentious token gesture of slight downvotes that was meant to leave it profitable.
No witness except themarkymark did anything about it, and he stopped after a few downvotes.
adm made a pretentious token gesture of tiny downvotes that were meant and succeeded to retain this spammer's profitability.
clvr is a bot that downvotes spam and is paid by smartsteem.
Is its owner paid by smartsteem to fight spam?
This is smartsteem's secret, since I was never answered about it.
Since then, after a report to steemcleaners by themarkymark that was ignored for over a month, and my alarms, patrice eventually put it on her target and used mack-bot,prowler and spaminator to force its owner to open natur-par, a new accounts that mines with your PC in addition to spamming.

@adm is not a single entity.
I did not know that about @clvr. As for videos, I do believe @steemcleaners don't do anything about them. It might be in their guidelines. So, it's an obvious loop hole.
As for Bernie, try using #TakingCandyFromABitch and see if he will come flag the abuser.
How do you know?
Who are behind him then?
Except from smooth?
Which videos?
How did you tag your comment?
Multiple entities have access to @adm. @steemcleaners and @smooth are some of them.
Videos tend to be outside the scope of their guideline. That needs to be changed.
Tag my comment? Like the #? Or?
I repeat my question:
Which videos did you refer to?
I guess.
Now I see that it adds tags to your comment, similar to if it was a new thread.
Each comment seems to be tagged only by the first tag of its parent thread and by words that follow a #.
I just meant videos in general. @steemcleaners' current guideline doesn't seem to cover them unless you can fudge them into the spam category.
It's okay though, more than one way to skin a cow.
