Or even when I vote(voat?)

Every site I go to sees my internet address: 24.19.109.171. Google and every ad agency on Earth know who I am. Anyone who would seek to harm me can find me so, so easily, it defies imagining. Show my IP address. There is nothing anyone can do with it because incoming traffic at my router is blocked. Most people with a standard internet connection are in my boat.

The Haxxors don't scan Reddit or Voat for IP's... every single machine you touch on the Internet has it.

Publish my IP! Tell people, when I up voat something, I'm using a static IP, and it is ALWAYS from the same subnet. I'm not proxying. I'm not hiding. List My IP on the Voat List if I choose to make it public, and GIVE SEPARATE STATISTICS for voats from proxies and changing IPs and those from static, announced IPs.

Now, if you systematically manipulate the votes, I'll be able to tell. If someone were in a country where this was legal (check your local laws), the proxied IPs could be tracked through a network like Tor with just a handful of proxy traps. This ONLY works if the destination is Known (voat.co) and the attacks come repeatedly from the same source... even if they are through proxies.

If Voat wanted to get even fancier, they could take random connection samples from a proxied and post them... just handshake timing and a few files of known size, really. That just makes the job of triangulating easier...

But I can do it with just the IP's... but I'm in America, and I don't know what the F*** is legal right now, so check your local laws. I'm a hacker, not a lawyer.
