The problem with the homographs is finally solved.

Done. I only did the ones that look really similar to Latin characters, and it only applies to English sections. It's done at display time, so it's retroactive.

I've tested it and it's better than ever. See my conclusion here > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4967143.msg44859677#msg44859677
It won't affect the legit Cyrillic posts outside the local section, with the only exception that if you copy/quote the text from a Cyrillic post the changed/fixed letters will remain in Latin. See an example in the conclusion.


So the hompgraphs are back and are more active than before.
Just for the last 24 hours got 82 cases of hompgraph attacks.

Hompgraphs from the last 24 hours:

Had a look through the whitepaper and have to say it looks great. It explained a few things around masternodes as well.

... And many mone up to 82 cases

What we need to do is to make one simple list of all the characters and theymos will fix it.

BTW, the main blocker for me taking action was that I never got around to compiling the table of homographic characters and their ASCII counterparts. If this crops up again, it'd be helpful if someone would compile a nice plaintext " -> " table.

Anyone, who had the time to do it?
I'm on the mobile and it's awful.



[UPDATE] we have some lists finished bellow, now it's just to decide which one to use.

I kind of liked the homographs, it's pretty easy to spot the plagiarism, maybe it will be a good idea to just color them in red or put a dot after each homograph so we can see them easily.
