Project Background

CryptTracker was born during the Utopian Hackathon. It was initially coded to investigate an account's wallet transactions:

• outgoing transfers to exchanges, taking note of the memo for the external wallet address
• incoming transfers to the account, taking note of the "from" account for voting ring investigation

The anti-abuse community need open source powerful tools for detecting abuse. We currently don't have any. We use Steemworld.org and SteemD, as well as other Steem dApps.

Steemcleaners have some tools but we don't know what they are. They are not available for everyone to use.

We are very limited to manually searching for patterns. Opening multiple tabs is a resource hog. SteemWorld only goes back 7 days^*. SteemD shows everything and filtering through other transactions is a pain.

Communities like Tasteem and Artisteem also need a way to detect abuse. With SMT on the horizon, communities need to be vigilant on rewarding only authentic and quality community members.

I almost forgot to mention Utopian. The moderators at Utopian also need a detective tool!

Unveiling abusive network of accounts on the platform is the first goal for CryptTracker. There are various tools mentioned under "Other Resources" below. But CryptTracker aims to minimize the manual matching and eye scanning that abuse fighters do.

Details

It is time to create a public Discord bot. We need to make this tool available for the different Steem Discord Guilds.

For Phase 1, we need below commands implemented

walletmatch memo

Description: Given a memo (exchange wallet address) find other accounts transferring to it
Input: (required) (string) memo, usually exchange wallet address
Constraints: Filter transfers to exchange accounts. Memo can also be a partial search.
Output: List of unique Steemit accounts sending to the given memo
Example
command: walletmatch 10234890
output: oneko thetnaung kinggyi kopholone

transfermatch account1 account2

Description: Check transfer relationship between 2 non-exchange accounts
Input: (required) (string) 2 accounts are required to start looking for a possible connection
Constraints: account1 and account 2 should not be any of the exchange accounts in exchange accounts
Output: List of all similar transactions that both accounts share.

Output	Description
memo abcde-123456-fghij789	both used the same wallet to withdraw funds
transfers from account3	both received funds from account3
transfers to account4	both transferred to account4

Example
command: transfermatch thetnaung kinggyi
output(s):
transfers to oneko
memo 44f4ea71-2b71-4ad0-b2b8-86a84b383101
memo 10234890

accountmatch partialname

Description: Check account names similar to the given text
Input: (required) (string) partial text of an account name
Constraints: N/A
Output: List of accounts starting, ending, containing or patterned to the given text.
Example
command: accountmatch jekis
output: jekisan jekisan1 jekisan2 jekisan3 jekisan7

command: accountmatch lock
output: numlock capslock scrollock
Note: We know there is a vote farm that uses keyboard keys as names. We need more ideas on this accountmatch command. Ideally, the output should be:
numlock capslock scrollock prtsc shift alt tab ctrl

Components

Sections of the GitHub repo that will be affected once the task will be completed:

• New file steemtectivebot.py for Discord implementation.
• New file steemtective.py for all commands. steemtectivebot should reference this module for command calls. We want to separate it for future CLI implementation.
• Update exchange accounts if applicable
• Update requirements if applicable

Other References

• Crokkon discussed the logic of a script he coded to identify a network of accounts with Steemit Inc SP delegation.
• Klye had a similar concept 2 years ago but only for monitoring deposits.
• Steemworld.org has a tool for Transfer Search and is not limited to 7-days. We need a similar tool a little bit more flexible.
• Steemyy has a Transfer Viewer tool but you have to specify an account name. We need a similar tool a little bit more flexible.

Deadline

No hard deadline. It would be nice to complete them within 2 weeks.
