They are getting sneakier…

reply

Why would you need more than one..?

reply

To pump your own posts.

reply

You can just anon zap. No need to have another account

reply

Hey @k00b, are anon zaps generally weighted the same as other zaps? (yes I know about downzaps, hence, generally)

reply

And place several accounts on the leaderboard

reply

There are things i'd rather post as @anon. That costs money, so an alt account can be useful.

reply

Eh, doesn't cost that much.

(the 100sats to tell you this was so worth it)

reply

I usually can't be arsed to log into alt account, anon is easier. But yeah, that could be a reason for alt

reply

100 sats for making your point

reply

That’s a fair point.

reply

is that assmilk.gif necessary to be posted again? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

reply

Always. Assmilking is definitely going on with these multi-account types. Be yourself or anon… hard forkers can fork off.

reply

@koob are there any rules about multi accounts?

reply
reply

No rules against it, afaik.

reply

I don't think so either. And it's difficult to combat this, an IP approach would be one way, but just use a VPN and it's no longer possible to control.

reply

That's true. I don't see any criminal behind having more than one account. The question was out of curious, do we have this rule or not

No rules around this. Create as many accounts as you need.

reply

Fork yeah Now I can sleep soundly

reply

It would also go against the cypherpunk ethos, which this forum embraces.

Bitcoin doesn't have rules against one person having multiple addresses either.

reply

Maybe I should html parse stacker news accounts and look whose lingos/word choices/typos/times match the most

reply

I would rather mantain one really well, than 4 mas o menos. I don't have enough time to mantain 4.

reply

why would you have more than one? Ain't that PITA to follow what you posted where and track responses for 4+ accounts?

reply

What do they call it?

Nice try, fed.

And why?

I can have as many accounts as I want but having one is sufficient. Why do you need more?

Yes, you need it, in case you are suffering from dual personality syndrome.

reply

Many... Probably 40+ πŸ˜…

reply

Only one.

reply

4+? interesting!

reply

This has been asked with a poll before. Related posts doesn't seem to find it.

I'm again really surprised this even exsists so I wouldn't even have asked

reply

Ha ha I just have one. Am I doing this wrong?

reply

Really can we use multiple accounts from the same IP? I never knew that!!! Great post!

reply

I can barely cope with 1

reply

I recently had two, but I lost a phone, so now I only have one for Stack. and I can add that just keeping an eye on one account has helped me interact more. let's keep stacking πŸ’ͺ🀠⚑

reply

Not today FBI.

reply

One

reply

I have three. I lost the password of my first account, then I created this one. I have another account but thought it was silly, counterproductive, and disingenuous to have alter egos, so now I'm only using this one.

reply

So why nobody has 3?))

reply

Just one, do not have any intention to scam the system

reply

You telling me people have more than 1 account? Are they wash stacking? Someone call the SEC

reply

How actually needs more than one?
