sharing my research in public in order to refine my own bot spidey sense

tell me where I'm wrong

directly -- I can take it

but not gonna subtweet the other thread, just for decency's sake (I'll share the account over dc)

1/5

Find me with my same PFP on GH

2/5

- foreign lang +0
- invite tree far from anyone I recognize +1
- not followed by a block of FarCon attendees +1
- followed by some PurpleDAO -.5
- but maybe only the more gregarious Purplers +.5
- multiple casts w/ impersonal content +.5
(tbh hard to tell since I don't read Farsi)

total bot score: +2.5

3/5

- casts support Iranian women -0.5
- wallet >1yr -0.5
- ENS -0.5
- lots of NFTs -0.5
- but tending low-value +0.5
- spent >$5 on an NFT -1 
- >5 in wallet -1
- >$50 in wallet -99

total non-bot score: -102.5

4/5

bot + non-bot score: -100

conclusion: 
- more likely a crypto/FC enthusiast+airdrop player
- presents as supporter of Iranian woman, hence cultural reasons not to share personal details
- a bot farm wallet would not keep so much capital in one/each address
- esp. if target is the Iranian diaspora

5/5

assumptions:
- ENS is significant commitment
- Zorbs specific to our community
- holding way more ETH than needed for gas, low-value NFTs
- funded on 9 chains, dust on 8 more. bot farm would prefer clean wallets
- bot farm would want minimum ~100 accounts, max $1k capital to make ... $10k?
- is not a spearfish

thanks. It was just copy-paste into DeBank + Nansen Portfolio

would you amend anything? I give more weight to the monetary side b/c it's easier to prove. But if this is a long spearphish, then the calcs will be totally off

I wouldn’t change anything, in fact I’m tempted to ask you to do me next 😅

I applied the same scoring:
- @vitalik.eth -101 not a bot
- @aviationdoctor.eth -100.5 not a bot
- @artlu.eth -2 not a bot

I dunno, proof-of-wealth as proof-of-not-an-npc feels kinda gross?

but if we don't highlight these biases, maybe they make it into our communities insidiously

EtherCalc gives me lots of problems (my first time using it). Try loading just the base URL first, then loading the URL with the hash for the shared file?

Scoring inputs are basically:
- Farcaster's invite tree+ENS username
- Warpcast's mobile NFTs view
- Nansen Portfolio (no-login free view)
- DeBank for NFTs (same)

Thank you for testing further! The site is down for me. But regardless, this calculation screams to be automated. Imagine if the score was made visible within everyone’s profile, with a setting to auto-mute casters based on a threshold
