He's useful and he's not harming anything and he provides value. None of us want the job. There's no harm done. The money he's making shows the devs just how valuable that little piece of the puzzle they missed is.
It's a computer program that automatically posts that list of links to every #introduceyourself post. He ended up making over a million dollars doing it. So he's got that going for him...
That's not quite correct. The bot has made a lot (hundreds of thousands) but the entire account balance did not come from the bot. The owner of the account was also a successful early miner.
Cool thanks for the update. Any tips for the newbies around here?
I never posted an introduceyourself...but he's liked a bunch of my other posts. How do you tell if a bot is a he or a she? ;)
Since they don't have fiddly bits for you to examine you just take your best guess. Truthfully they are nongendered, but their owners can give them whatever persona they wish. Generally when a bot has a name that is slang for male anatomy you can assume the creator is...
