RE: Steem Abuse - Finding Patient 0
I like the idea, but this will prob. require an intelligent system.
The biggest problem with finding the patient 0 was that most main accounts were created via anonstem through an exchange.
Now in my case - dreamryder007 made the mistake of transfering the money directly to the main-creator, which showed who patient 0 was.
But in any case - I do believe that people make mistakes (owners upvote the posts, writing style etc.) and having an intelligent system which tracks all of these data, might be able to find out who patient 0 truly is.
A developer that directly comes to my mind would be: @andybets.
Everytime I read one of @themarkymark's hunting ventures, it usually reads. "I spent 10 hours investigating a spam farm" or something of the sort. Who has that much time to spend doing that? But this could be a game changer for him, for @steemcleaners and others.
Haha, yes but that's true. It takes hours to research and deal with that stuff. And in the end, those abusers even try to act as if they didn't do anything wrong.
I'm willing to have a convo with anyone that wants to tackle this and brainstorm. Obviously some of the inner workings should not be disclosed as to not warn the abusers.
But, even on the exchange part, I have an idea to narrow it down. Meaning, maybe have 20, 30 suspicious accounts to look into.
