Dear Nostr Community,
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. While I acknowledge the cleverness of the approach, this behavior undermines the values of Nostr and nostr: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 —communities built on trust, transparency, and fairness. 🧡
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! 💜 🧡 💜

Look at the quote nostr:nprofile1qqs008ztgyyjn0jsr79vvgn7v6jctl4cfg9fzch4g9v65afxtp3zltgprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wsztjhpv has on her profile...
The only way to predict the future is to create it.
Seems awfully appropriate to this situation. Almost a confession.
Look 👀 on the dad profile (which is the only real account with legitimate interactions) and his statement.
Such a shame, I really enjoyed competing in the Bullish Bounty and now to notice that I often lost, because someone zapped himself with fake accounts…
PS: How’s the “mining” going? 🧡
