zigbook edited a 3rd party comment to say "I’m autistic and sperging out over stuff on the internet that doesn’t actually matter. Don’t mind me." Just your run off the mill AI grifter.

  How did you connect this account back to the "real" account?
  - CGamesPlay 10mo ago
    Well, the name of the "real" account is "zkevm.dev", and the previous account was zk-evm. Those are just letters to me, but it does seem like a clear link. Couldn't say that either is "real", though.
    - csomar 10mo ago
      It is not. zk-evm refers to a type of blockchain. It's not a unique/singular link.
      - KomoD 10mo ago
        "zkevm.dev" is his domain, he uses it for email on all 3 accounts.

    The account had a link to a personal website, that (for now) has links to a few social medias and the "real" account.

      That's a pretty strong link, nice work!

    Yeah I came to that conclusion as well, though from zkevm.bio (which has a Venmo link) but was unsure about dropping his name publicly.

  zig-vm is now pilot-repl (user id 216412417)

That's mostly just odd. Either a young teen way in over their head or a weirdly non-functional adult.
