It seems the vote botter is back. I’ve noted at least three /new posts that all are upvoted to 22-24 upvotes in less than a couple mins, exactly as they were done before. I’ve tagged the posts with the flair VOTE MANIPULATION. Please make note of it as someone clearly is trying to upvote their own posts while upvoting others (obfuscating the target).
Don't be fooled when SV tells you they are going to "lock down the protocol", they are going to:
1) UNWIND TXs (overwrite history) - that's a protocol change
2) Send coins with unknown OP codes to Calvin and Craig (so called "miners") - that's a protocol change
3) Recover "lost" Satoshi coins by sending it to Calvin and Craig (so called "miners") - that's a protocol change
4) Make P2SH(multisig) transactions obsolete - that's a protocol change (let's guess where the funds "recovered" from P2SH transactions will go..)
Downvotes:
"SV is not locking the protocol" 100% upvotes, then immediately 21% upvoted, 0 points, 35 views
"How the PoW incentive system prevented what looked very much like SV's attack on BCH." My thread was vote-manipulated by SV bots, as well. It is sitting at 14% at the time of this writing
"SV knows about Bitmain's new miners and that's why they started attacking Bitcoin earlier than planned when they still have an advantage?" 6 minute old post, 0 points (11% upvoted)
Upvotes:
"Nchain mined a 5th 32mb block" This thread had just a couple votes then jumped to 24 votes in 2 mins...
"BMG + SV + Coingeek = 54.16% Hash" < 5m, 24 upvotes
(probably just a coincidence, hiding target) This had 1 vote a couple mins ago and jumped to 24 votes....
"CSW: We're going to drive him to bankruptcy" 7 minute old post, 23 upvotes
Important announcement from /u/BitcoinXio:
Someone is running their vote bot on different posts today (9 minutes old, 0 points (23% upvoted)) -- also vote manipulated

Craig Wright started tweeting a lot about BCHsv and how he plans to get > 50% of network hashrate to support BCHsv: https://twitter.com/ProfFaustus/ , including bragging about how he broke BU: https://twitter.com/ProfFaustus/status/1061244439585271808

A thread was posted on 4chan.org indicating a massive drop in found blocks on the BTC network: http://boards.4chan.org/biz/thread/11697012

BTC's 3-hour hashrate estimate dropped from 40 exahashes down to 20 exahashes, then quickly climbed back up to 40: https://fork.lol/pow/hashrate

A massive BCHsv Pump occurred, pushing BCHsv up by about 28%: https://poloniex.com/exchange#usdc_bchsv

A thread was posted on 4chan.org indicating that BCHsv pools started mining massive blocks and wrote a proposal with regards to how such an attack could take place: http://boards.4chan.org/biz/thread/11697353 ,

My theory is that the proponents of BCHsv knowingly and intentionally exploited a zero-day vulnerability in BU, coordinated it with a massive BCHsv price pump, all the while purchasing hashrate from BTC pools/miners in order to attack the BCH network.
At the time of this writing, it appears that:
Right now there's a coordinated attack in various social media sites, not only here in Reddit. PoSM (proof of social media) worked wonders for Blockstream so it's only logical they'll use the same tactics again.
