I regret to inform you that today’s Bullish Bounty competition was manipulated.

The additional accounts— nostr:nprofile1qyvhwumn8ghj7en9v4j8xtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0wf6szrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqzxthwden5te0dehhxarj9ecxzmrpdejxjtnrd3hh2eqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuur9w3exku3wdejhgtmhd9kxcmmhqyv8wumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsq3yamnwvaz7tmsw4e8qmr9wpskwtn9wvq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xzmnyqyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2aqqyqh0dmt9p058s2ver59nzggezs6kpal058s4e8yk7jnulf37vg6awqc2epe and npub1skj8seswn26k8y3egwu0m90dc026aqg4as4mua0m64qg89p08w7qv5nq8z—bear striking similarities, from their initial notes and Linktrees to their descriptions and profile images, which all feature a comparable anime aesthetic. 🤔 🤔 🤔

Upon further investigation, there’s another account—npub1jp54xt8x4pezxdnmlvzfkkppver2ss263z65v5uadla29m4jr2dqj7xcra—that ties these profiles together. This account appears more active but is linked to the other profiles, allegedly portraying a “family” structure (mom, dad, son, daughter). It’s clear that these accounts are being used to create an illusion of legitimacy while benefiting from coordinated zapping. 🧐

Worryingly, this isn’t an isolated incident. Similar manipulations occurred on December 23rd and 25th, where zaps were exchanged to claim the 2100-sat daily bounty without fair competition.

This conduct is the antithesis of what we stand for. It’s akin to exploiting a system designed to benefit everyone for personal gain, without any genuine effort or proof of work. In any other competitive setting, such tactics would lead to immediate disqualification. 💜

I’m calling out this behavior because it sabotages something meant to uplift the community. I invite npub1jp54xt8x4pezxdnmlvzfkkppver2ss263z65v5uadla29m4jr2dqj7xcra and the associated accounts to clarify their actions and provide a statement. At the same time, I encourage every member of the community to decide how they want to respond—whether through muting, unfollowing, or other actions. Let’s stand together against behavior that erodes trust. 😎

I’ll tag a few individuals below who may want to be aware of this situation. Let’s ensure our community remains a space of integrity and fairness.

NOSTR ALL THE WAY! 💜 🧡 💜
