I wonder if there is any multiple account policy on the #HiveGrove game, as anyone might just create 5 accounts and use them to water each other's groves and save HIVE from not buying additional slots. 🌱🤯😅
That’ll be a challenge. I think if there are several people from the same family—but they’re all different—one account per person is fine; the challenge is figuring out how to handle that. I know some games simply block by IP, so only one per IP… I think that’s pretty drastic, but if we have to get to that point, we’ll see.
Perhaps you can just require some minimum Hive account Reputation for each player, and just whitelist those that don't have high enough Reputation but are known to not already have an account on the game. 🤓
Those are interesting ideas. I've already implemented a certain threshold for new accounts to prevent bots, but I could also implement something more stringent to curb them even further.

There is, in fact, code to prevent this, but I actually think it's something that could be made even more robust, and I'll be working on it soon.
How about multiple Hive users playing #HiveGrove using the same IP address (as in the case of family and/or friends with Hive accounts)? 🧘♂️🌱🤓

I just hope that players who haven't joined #HiveGrove yet would not be affected by your anti-bot, anti-multi measures! 🌱🤗
