i think the pattern of name is not a strong basis for alt account. for example me and omegastarcream has the same prefix in username but we are not
totally related to each even you check our profile and search for the local thread that we post.. i think farming of account here is not a allowed but it is hard
to identify who is them. hahhaha.. Even theymos will have hard times for this case.
(and btvGainer)
The pattern here IS strong. You don't know how to analyse the information that I have provided.
I would never connect you with OmegaStarScream in this way. I am not looking for prefix's in names.
The above list is taken from a 2.5 hour period. Yourself and OSS joined 14 months apart.
The above list is in time order of members joining bitcointalk and is clearly ordered - S -V - A - M -S - V - A - M -S - V - A - M - ...continue.
The list above is taken from 200 consecutive members joining. 12% are active farmed accounts.
(Almost all the other 88% accounts omitted from the list are inactive 0 post accounts. Probably mostly padding for the farmers cover)
Take another look.
I do not think Theymos would have a hard time recognising these cases. (and all the others)
PS Omega. I am now be looking into your account.
