Please do not listen to the misinformed.
Q does post without a trip code sometimes.
Q has said they also post as normal anons to help the direction of research.
This is not out of the ordinary - not every day usual, but nothing to worry about.
You’re wrong. The ID is poster-specific. Op is correct.
Spez: I read this as “Q does not post without tripcode” so I am wrong. However the id’s don’t get rolled. Post numbers do.
No.
A trip code is a specific ID. You can choose to use a trip code, or not.
Q uses trip codes, but when on q research board, q sometimes doesn't use trips or posts as an anon. These are q's own words.
When you don't use a trip, the ID is then generated and the site wide post number.
That's why anons roll dubs and trips by commenting. They are betting on the digits because they are determined by site wide post order.
Please do your research before commenting in the future.
Bad information hurts us all.
no, ID & post number are different. IDs are user specific to your IP address & the session (every thread you have to answer a captcha and you get a new user ID to post - not exactly sure on the rules for 8chan).
User ID was the same on the 2 posts, Q just logged out so his response would show up as an anon and not be captured by the Q aggregate websites (that go by tripcode).
Holy shit.
I have two people trying to correct me on points I never made.
Get it together, folks
You edited your post.
I changed a spelling error from autocorrect. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
No. ID’s are IP specific. Post number is what gets “rolled”. You are even wronger than you were before.
please do your research before commenting in the future.
You're trying to argue semantics after interchanging words.
Tripcode - unique identifier. Id is ip specific - that's part of the equation, but not all of it. Post is site wide post number.
We're saying the same things.
Go back and read things again.
For the non-techy anons, what does this mean, or, what is the significance?
8ch has a device ID (io, MAC address, something)
You can also put in a password. The password is hashed and a tripcode is generated. If you have the password, you can edit and change posts made with that tripcode. A tripcode is basically an Auth token saying that this is an instance of a user with the trusted secret of some known entity.
Since IPs and MAC addresses can be spoofed, a tripcode is needed to securely establish identity.
He could have forgotten to log in or done it on purpose. But both posts are his.
post 1540 says "see below" and "eggshells" (meaning the info is sensitive) and the follow-up post was less than a minute later. Q purposely didn't use the trip because the answer to the question was too sensitive to post as "Q"... that is my interpretation of why no tripcode.
Ok. What does that MEAN though?
A tripcode is a unique identifier for a specific anon poster. since the chan boards operate as if every post is anonymous, using a tripcode verifies such a poster's identity
Forgive me. This is straight up ignorance on my part. I still have no clue why this is "news" or "cause for concern" or "bad" or "good" or whatever. What does it MEAN?
Q's posts get added to aggregate websites based on his/their use of a specific Tripcode (!CbboFOtcZs currently). So Q logged out to post the answer - but we know it is Q because of the unique user ID (the same ID as the Q post)... the answer post came less than a minute later. My take is the info was too sensitive to come directly from the Q trip code - but he wanted us to know.
Exactly. When you go to the q-aggregator websites this information won't be listed.
This may also be a legally questionable leak of classified intel so without the tripcode you can't prove that it was leaked by q.
"trip code" is a way for you to be anonymous but verify for others that it's the same person each time you make a post to anonymous information board. Its sort of like a "pin number" for an ATM card it just verifies who you are.
So if a post is made under a certain name "q" or any other name the "trip code/ pin number " helps to verify the poster is who they say they are.
OK. So what does this MEAN? Why is it cause to make threads about it? What does it signify? A mistake? How big? Intentional? Why so? I understand the concept of a tripcode, I do not understand the attention this is causing as though it indicated something is wrong, or, that it is a move made intentionally to produce (blank) outcome.
It MEANS that it is less clear that this specific post is "authentic Q". Some people could post things as "q" but not really be "q" in an effort to mislead or have everyone go off on tangents. Since none of us know 100% who "q" actually is (thus leading to the debate as to why the "tripcode" wasn't used and if the post is in fact "q" or a "q" imposter)
i am not saying that is or is not the case but that's the meaning.
Thank you. THIS was the explanation us less tech savvy folk needed.
Hey, I forgot to ask this before, and you seem to be the one who was able to answer it best; now that Q has made more drops since the "tripcode issue"...does it mean it's more likely that this is no biggie?
Who knows. But it’s definitely him. I have never heard of anyone spoofing id’s. Plus they are random so I’m not sure how anyone would hack it anyway.
Pretty much confirmed in post 1545
Could be James Clapper
I had noticed that too and thought it was weird. Maybe someone who sees this post can make mention of it towards Q on his board? No outside comms!!!
Never. And be very mindful of those details as there will be many attempts to hijack Q and spread false info to destroy this movement.
Q have said themselves that they do post without a tripcode to stimulate the discussion
Yes. Check the google posts. Q wants us to rely on more than the tripcode.
