Steemit is getting quite popular (great!) as I can conclude from SteemStream.com So it's logical this attracts all kinds of people... People who want to make male make-up videos, people who try to hack, and.... people who try to game the system as i noticed tonight:
As I am currently updating the SteemStream.com application due to numerous requests of add-ons and functionalities... I noticed some abnormalities..
One new function will be to focus only certain types of transactions in the blockchain and filter out the rest. To test this I was watching only the 'money transactions' and here is a screenshot:
These automated alphabetically ordered names all get the same amount from Blocktrades (which has an API)...
To me it feels like this is (going to get) happening:
- Automatically transfer to quite a shitload of people a little bit of money...
- Start (auto)voting with that robot army of people on certain posts, to get them to float on top... and or trending / hot or active sections to get noticed by 'real people' and cause a network effect.
How do you feel about this? Curious also how founders of Steemit ( 
Ps. I also want to warn you that some other smartasses have registered "typo usernames" to popular BTC - Steem Exchange Platforms such as these users: polniex, polonix, ploniex, bitrex... Watch out when you transfer out of Steemit and be careful of typo's!
