Question About a New Account
« on: November 30, 2012, 10:07:11 AM »
I just created this account and I have a question.

My brother has a BakaBT account that he used on this same laptop I'm using now. Before he gave this laptop to me he completely restored/rebooted this computer. So both of our accounts should be safe right, since this laptop is pretty much like-brand-new?

You could only get troubles if you are using the same IP. If that's the case just drop in on #bakabt-support @ rizon.irc.net

When I checked the wiki it didn't mention getting in trouble if we use the same IP. We do live in the same house but he uses his account on his own PC.

Translation: You would probably be okay, but it would be safest to drop by the channel and announce what is going on before you accidentally get flagged as a multi-accounter.

And I'm pretty sure there's something in the Wiki somewhere about having two accounts in the same house and how you could easily prove that you're two people by sending them a picture with both of you holding pieces of paper with your usernames written on them. These days you might not even have to go that far.

I went to the support IRC and Duki helped me out. Thanks for all your help though!
