You could just get an allocation from RIPE for example, they'll give you a /29 without any justification required. Pretty much all dedicated server hosts will have a plenty of IPv6 space they can give you for a few $ per month. Tu

Buyers are individuals who want good usernames. People will pay like $5k for any random 2 character username. I've sold words for 50.

Yes, but you could easily defeat this limit by switching to a /48, which gives you 65536 /64 subnets. Of course, even bigger IPv6 allocations are easy to get.

I've never had a day job, I've spent almost two decades funding my lifestyle with silly projects like this. Everything from large scale world of warcraft botting to instagram registrations.

A little over $2M, but that number keeps growing because I still have loads of usernames despite instagram patching the ratelimit bypass.

lol, OP completely missed out on the biggest IG ratelimit bypass. You could just use IPv6 and make literally millions of requests per second from a single server with a /48. (Oh! And before that you could just spoof X-Forwarded-For) I

Testcookie handles this just fine, Voxility and DDoS-guard can both offer the browser bot detection reverse proxy too. Of course you could also just integrate a CAPTCHA service of your choice.

OVH, Voxility, ddos-guard.net and many more. Shit, even tiny providers like BuyVM offer good enough DDoS protection.

It’s almost frustrating. I got used to using my Intel MBP as a portable hot plate to snort cocaine from, but with the new M1 MBP it takes like 15 minutes of running Cinebench for the back to heat up sufficiently.

This doesn’t have any meaningful legal implications. You will still be in trouble if you deface some random Namecheap customers website to claim this bounty.
