Ban evasion: Banned #1423316 “Anti-Cen” = #1801074 “RNC” ≟ #376659 “dinofelis”

I hereby request that admins investigate and permaban this person:

#1801074 RNC = banned user #1423316 Anti-Cen (admitted)
Anti-Cen/RNC = #376659 dinofelis, a Hero Member (probable cause)

The foregoing list may be edited by me if/as new evidence and potential new connections are discovered.

I have previously reported #1423316 Anti-Cen to admins for the following threat PM which Anti-Cen sent to me. Alhough I have reason to believe that the user was banned shortly thereafter, I do not know the formal reasons for the ban.

You will be trolled by me across the internet and I will show you for the lying bit of scum you are

Archived image:

On 2018-02-26, RNC resurrected a thread from December 2017 with immediate attacks on achow101 and me, in that order. I immediately recognized an Anti-Cen/dinofelis attempt to bait me into a flamewar (which I avoid in Dev & Tech); I thus promptly made it clear that I wasnt biting.

Other users attempted to reason with RNC, until an argument escalated to the point wherein RNC defiantly admitted to being banned user Anti-Cen (archive as linked above; all formatting as in the original):

@DooMAD: This whole gibberish is exactly the tone and voice of Anti-Cen and dinofelis. Even the low level newbies here in the forum can make a text comparison on the posts, and understand that there is the same incentive, just under different names.

You are right, 100% right and indeed I am anti-cen which is short for anti censorship but here i met a nazi in the form of a moderator
who dare not allow open debate which I have reported and advise him to return back to 1930's Germany so that he can burn a few more books.

Yes please laugh by exposing a banned account but really the joke is on you if you need the service of a bias PR officer to protect you from a
few home truths around here.

The "newbies" here would be the ones your trying to convert into harden gambling addicts with the loaded propaganda that is being pumped out
here and this is why you fear me and ban number two is coming up so credit for spotting the obvious but i did not try to hide it anyway but your not that
smart because no one writes like me and you now need to apologize to dinofelis because your witch hunt lead you to an innocent man.

Would you like me to PM you a list of the bottom sniffers I have compiled here, paid thugs they send in since we are exchanging names not that your on the list and
I don't even hold it against you for exposing my real name that I would like back anyway.

Holly shit batman, RNC is Anti-Cen in disguise so I wonder why he's is having to do that Batman

In re #376659 dinofelis

RNCs 12th post, made less than 8 hours after creating the account, was a reply to a subtopic titled Re: DINOFELIS is the actual trollin reply to a user who had been addressing dinofelis. Observe that RNCs use of language, punctuation, and even odd line breaks are a perfect match for dinofelis:

That isn't what he said, and you know it.

dinofelis, your only discernible input on this forum is misrepresenting facts in a (kind of) subtle way. Well, you're also good at avoiding direct debunking of the things you say which aren't true.

You ought really to be banned, as it's too obvious that you're not interested in any kind of constructive debate, and never have been (unfortunately, dinofelis is likely the owner of many accounts that have been created with a suspiciously similar style of debate, only adding to the perception that the owner is very intent on wasting everyone's time on Bitcointalk.org)

Are you the one they send in to abuse people and if they answer back they get banned because many of you're posts seem to be picking a fight with people not
quite seeing things your way.

That isn't going to be happening, the best strategy with your posts is to skim-read them until one finds the deliberate errors you try to promote as facts

I wonder why you have not been banned or are you in with the owners ?

This occurred in a flame thread, soon thereafter locked by the moderator.

I noticed the RNC/dinofelis connection immediately, on 2018-02-05; but I did not say anything to anybody about it, until after I saw the same connection independently observed by another well-respected regular in Dev & Tech. In addressing DooMADs attempt to reason with RNC, pebwindkraft said (boldface added):

I had noticed the dinofelis/Anti-Cen similarity before the RNC account was even created, although I kept such suspicions to myself. Both accounts post long screeds attacking Bitcoin, Core developers, Segwit, the Lightning Network, etc., etc. Both accounts make the same claim of superior knowledge; both accounts not only commit serious technical errors in their claims, but make the same technical errors. Both accounts have similar style of writing, argumentation, punctuation, and formatting.

Although I kept earlier suspicions of alt accounts to myself, I had it on my mind when I previously mentioned the banned Anti-Cen in the same breath as dinofelis in a Meta discussion of Dev & Tech trolls:

A few recent examples of misinformation trolls:

In the thread I started on Bitcoins Public-Key Security Level (OP currently +18), Anti-Cen #1423316 posted so much gibberish about using Microsoft Windows RSACryptoServiceProvider(512) for Bitcoin keys (!) that I myself had difficulty wading through it to pick out the real replies so I could respond to them. That has a real impact on readers. Anti-Cens post history includes claims of his own extraordinary expertise to support grossly wrong technical statements about Bitcoin, extreme hostility toward Core, a persistent suggestion that fees be capped at 1.5 (without specifying a unit), etc., etc.... At some point, I gathered a representative selection of quotes from Anti-Cens posts. As I have not hereto revealed publicly, Anti-Cen has also tried to bait me by PM. I think that Anti-Cen is probably the most odious troll in Dev & Tech right now.
In a thread ChiBitCTy started on Important Lighting Network reading- for everyone! (OP currently +9, including +1 from me), dinofelis #376659 derailed the thread into discussion of his attack on nodes: Nodes are vote by IP number, which is what Satoshi wanted to nullify by vote by PoW, The only reason why they talk Joes into running nodes in their basement, is because bitcoin needs a story, and decentralization sounds like a good selling argument, nobody will give a shit that 10 000 Joes find their nodes switching off because they don't find the right block chain any more, etc., etc., plus a sprinkle of crazy: People very knowledgeable of that system cannot ignore the basic design principles of that system, can they ? So there must be a deceptive reason for telling this [that the system is decentralized Ed.], given that it is objectively wrong. I tried to cut the discussion offI mean itso as to set the thread back on track. Any thread which catches dinofelis attention is liable to go in a similar direction. I see that Wind_FURY seems to be trying to draw fire, I presume to unclog other threads. Id expect that all the technically competent regulars must be sick of dinofelis.

[...]

I argue that the foregoing establishes a prima facie case for linking dinofelis as the primary alt of confirmed ban-evader Anti-Cen/dinofelis. Whereupon, I request that admins investigate and take appropriate action.

I will also be investigating further, and dropping quotes/archive links into this thread. I encourage other users to do their own investigations, and post their evidence.

Heres to a troll-free Development & Technology Discussion forum.
