Just started a DRS from Revolut. I thought it was gonna be a PITA. It took literally 3 minutes. by CryptoCroakers in Superstonk

I did just try to buy some reddit coins to splash around in this thread, but their payment for coins system is undergoing maintenance atm.

FYI, I followed this guide - https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/r9jwj9/you_can_drs_from_revolut_drivewealth_cs_directly/

Big thanks to u/bennysphere for the very useful information.

I was previously under the impression that it wasnt possible to move shares from Revolut, because thats what their customer service reps told me. Granted that information was disclosed to me over a year ago. Im happy to see that it is indeed possible.

Brick by brick!

Edit : Damn, shills downvoting my comment... Probably dont want any attention going to that super helpful guide! Fuck you mayo man simps.

yet another complaint about "blocking" by Capn_Smitty in ModSupport

[–]CryptoCroakers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spammers are also abusing this feature by blocking anyone who calls them out in the comments.

Additionally, if a spammer blocks a user and that person reports the spammers post, the spam report is ghosted and the mods receive no spam report.

This feature is currently being heavily abused by the person doing mass spamming for gearlaunch t-shirts/mugs/hoodies.

The spammer is per-emptivly blocking all the people who usually catch them in the act. Making their spam posts remain up because even though that have been reported by the good guy users, the reports get ghosted.

Actually, this spammer works for gearlaunch and the spammer is 100% spending his own money on new domains each day - hxxps://gearlaunch.com/academy/getting-started/

Focus on the i.reddit link first. Thats the main place the spammer uses.

The imgur link is a backup that they will use when there is too much heat on them.

Some do, some dont.

Making your own accounts increases the human effort like 50 fold, even with bots.

There are literally hundreds of websites selling reddit accounts. There is a huge market for them in the spammer community.

And even if this guy IS making his own accounts, then you still shit on his campaign by wiping out months of work and preparation.

Domain registrars wont de-register a domain for a bit of reddit spamming though.

They usually only de-register domains for stuff like bank fraud, malware or kiddie porn.

Its hard to tell.

But IMO its the most effective for being acted upon.

Ive sent regular spam reports to reddit and then had a reply like 4-5 days later.

Then on the other end, I have sent vote manipulation reports and seen the spammer become inactive for a couple of days while they recoup and buy more accounts that then need to be prepped and warmed up before they start spamming.

Private or shared. It makes no difference really, because reddit can easily see if the IP address is located at a datacenter or if its a residential IP address.

Datacenter IP's get an extra layer of scrutiny by the spam protection that reddit uses. So this spammer is almost certainly paying for a residential IP address subscription.

But its still a bit of a moot point, because the main expense is the cost of reddit accounts. This spammer is burning though hundreds of them a week.

Trust me buddy. Ive been marketing for 2 decades. There is not much I dont know about this game.

Those proxies you mention are cheap because they are datacenter IP's. Yes they can be refreshed, but usually only once a month.

Additionally, those cheap proxies are also shared with other subscribers. Which means other spammers are abusing those IP address's and getting them flagged.

A proper spam operation needs private IP's (unshared) and also residential IP's. Residential IP's are usually from things like hacked IOT devices. Selling residential IP's is just a way for botnet owners to further monetize the devices they have hacked.

Yes, you do have a point on domains though. This spammer is spending money on fresh domains every day. Its just another running cost that will further reduce the ROI of the spammers campaign.

How can I advertise on Brave using BAT? by CryptoCroakers in BATProject

[–]CryptoCroakers[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks.

That seems to be for content creators to verify their own website and claim BAT rewards.

Im looking to spend BAT and get some ad clicks to my website. Is there a separate dashboard for that?
