RE: [Steem] Steem Per Mvests Leads to Bot Island
I didn't understand everything you presented, but I can tell you that the @gtg instance was NOT the witness. It was a scam account that was created to send phishing links to accounts and steal their passwords. @gtg is still legit.
I don't know what to make of the data, but it was interesting to read. I'm not a programmer, but I do like statistics. :)
I wonder if anyone has actually thought to search the memos of transactions, looking for that kind of message.
We know that the website was shut down pretty quickly (thanks to a reference someone else gave in another comment here), but that can't be the only one.
And that makes me curious.
Busy hadn't loaded the other comments when I first commented, so I didn't see that someone else said the gtg-witness was fake. No, I don't think that was the only site. There have been multiple scam sites that have popped up over the last few weeks especially. I don't really understand so much of what is happening in the background. I just post a few articles, man. Ha ha.
I fully admit to being fascinated by all of the shady shenanigans that can possibly go on in the system. I chalk it up to the conflict between being fascinated by driving slow by car wrecks and an appreciation of something well done, no matter what that thing is.
That said, you're probably far better off not knowing how the sausage is made.
Ha ha ha
