I know her from hive. But we never met. We live in different provinces, which are far from each other. My wife and I have an autistic son who needs to be closely monitored. We only have free time when our son goes to special children's school. So I rarely contact anyone.

I'm just curious why you and her family share a common memo for fund transfers when you don't know one another. Can you explain this please?

At that time I asked her to help me. I don't know anything about hive and transfer. and she just helped me. And I trusted her because I couldn't do it myself.

Hello @livinguktaiwan, I wanted to share my thoughts on the topic.

In the past, withdrawing funds from exchanges in Thailand was quite complex. You had to go through international exchanges, then the only national exchange available at the time to transfer directly from the exchange's Thai account to a Thai bank account, International transfers to Thailand and vice versa are highly regulated. This process was complicated and involved dealing with several crypto-currencies.

So to help some Thais with this process, I managed their withdrawals and sent them Thai bahts directly. However, this action inadvertently led to their accounts being flagged by Spaminator in its multiple account list due to the transfer memo. Although I have never met nor know them, I have been trusted as a Witness of the blockchain, as well as the Thai propensity to trust others.

This situation brings to mind my first visit to Thailand, where my bank card was swallowed by an ATM, disrupting my week-long vacation. Fortunately, someone I had known for only three days, who was acting as my guide, generously lent me 800 euros to salvage the rest of my trip, as my bank was unresponsive, motivated only by the desire for me to keep a beautiful and memorable experience of my vacation in the land of smiles. Of course, I promptly returned the 800 euros upon returning to France.

In case you have any questions or need more info feel free to DM me on Discord (mintrawa#4996) or ping me on your Pinmapple Discord server (I joined it a long time ago).

Thanks for your update @mintrawa. I understand in some countries crypto can still be an issue, leading to different accounts sharing memos. On the other hand, we've seen many cases in those same countries ( not Thailand) where there are prolific farms all organised by a handful of people, hence spaminator visits.

As a witness, you're probably well aware how bad things were in the legacy chain and that the Hive community is now making sure we make this a better and fairer place by fighting abuse. That's why activities such as shared memos, multiple accounts ( like your good self 😉), abandoning old accounts and creating new ones ( like here and your wife) raises suspicious and we need to probe further.

I appreciate you clarifying things and look forward to seeing more great content from @kriang3teejoe and @baibuaza.
