18 posts held, back to 9 October 2025 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 18 posts for this entry, the most recent from 21 April 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 7 August 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. A count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints these counters in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈142,000 means somewhere between 141,500 and 142,499.
Measured directly from 1 video with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.
203 reactions across 14 posts, in 17 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 47.8% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 15 of the 18 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 203reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 18 most recent posts we hold, published 9 October 2025 to 21 April 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
A paid reaction is a reader spending Telegram Stars — bought with money — on a post by @DupeBusters. Telegram publishes the count on the public post preview alongside ordinary reactions, and this register reads it there. It is the only figure on this site that measures money moving rather than attention.
Stars are not reactions, and the two are never added. They are rendered in the same strip on Telegram and counted in the same shape, but one is a tap and the other is a purchase. The reaction totals and the engagement rate elsewhere on this page exclude every figure in this section, and no rate here is computed against a reaction count.
This is not revenue, and we publish no currency figure. What a Star costs a reader and what it pays a channel are different numbers, Telegram takes a share we cannot observe, and the terms have changed. Converting a Star count into money would be an estimate dressed as a measurement, so the count is where we stop.
Counted over the 18 most recent posts we hold for this entry, published 9 October 2025 to 21 April 2026. Star counts above 1,000 reach us in Telegram’s short form and carry the same three-significant-figure rounding as everything else on this page.

Давно не было новостей по дюпу ☕ 👁 За последнее время несколько раз фиксировалась небольшая активность по переливу предметов через торговую площадку. Во всех случаях фигурировали аккаунты с регионами CNY и HKD: [ 1 ] 2025-12-31 [ 2 ] 2026-01-09 *бот поломался и не запостил [ 3 ] 2026-01-11 Всего было перелито ~80 предметов, что значительно меньше прежних объёмов. Это может указывать на то, что дюперы ищут новую схе…

Когда фраза «из ширпа до ножа» заиграла новыми красками 🔫 → 🔫 В предыдущем посте разбирался дюп рун / гемов - ситуация, когда одну и ту же руну можно было вставить в несколько слотов одного предмета и получить дубликаты. Коротко: проверка на сервере касалась только наличия asset_id (самого предмета) в инвентаре, а не его уникальности, поэтому при отправке запроса k_EMsgGCAddItemToSocket (1088) сервер принимал повтор…

Многие интересовались, как доставать редкие руны, не ломая предмет. Способ уже пофиксили, но я всё же решил сделать полноценную статью и коротко рассказать, что такое протобафы и как они устроены. Практическую часть с повторением запросов пока не успел подготовить, возможно, выложу позже в нашем чате. Статью о том, как доставались и дюпались руны, также опубликовали @voidsploit в более сжатом формате. EN: this arti…

English version, click to expand: 🆕 Hypothesis on How the Dota 2 Item Dupe Worked Recently, one of our subscribers sold Catastrophe (Trail of Burning Doom) on the Steam Market, and a few hours later received a ban with the message: “this account was used for fraud.” After a short conversation with Steam Support, the ban was lifted, and the transaction was rolled back: the item was returned to the seller, and dele…
🆕Предположение о том, как работал дюп предметов Dota 2 На днях один из наших подписчиков продал Catastrophe (Trail of Burning Doom) на Торговой площадке Steam и через несколько часов получил блокировку с формулировкой «аккаунт был использован для мошенничества». После короткой переписки с поддержкой Steam блокировка была снята, а сделка откатилась: предмет вернули продавцу, а у покупателя удалили. Интересно, что на …

Сегодня наш бот зафиксировал подозрительную активность на торговой площадке, не связанную с предметами Dota 2! Замечен массовый перелив баланса с аккаунтов регионов CNY / HKD / KRW на другие через дешёвые предметы TF2. Примечательно, что цены продажи в основном в 5–10 раз выше текущих лотов на торговой площадке, но также встречаются сделки по средней цене между текущим лотом и автопокупкой, таким образом можно попро…

❗️Похоже, что данный бан был единичным случаем, остальные аккаунты с дюпнутыми предметами по сей день активны и продолжают продавать свои предметы на китайских маркетах вроде buff163.

Valve начали банить «склады» дюперов! 🍌 Еще вчера этот аккаунт активно торговал дюпнутыми предметами на buff163, а уже сегодня у него Community Ban. Этот аккаунт был именно складом — все предметы находились без трейд-бана, их можно было спокойно обменивать и продавать.

⚠️ Не спешите скупать “багнутые” предметы с площадок. Сегодня разработчики выпустили очередной фикс “на костылях”, который, судя по всему, не устранил дюп, а лишь замедлил его. За последние четыре дня наш бот отловил 4 015 предметов, которые переливались за копейки через автобай-ордера на торговой площадке. 📊 Что показывают данные: • Все предметы имели 7-дневный трейд-лок, и у большинства из них прошло всего 6–14 ч…

Showing the 12 most recent of 18 posts we hold for @DupeBusters. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Stars beside a post are paid reactions — Telegram Stars, bought with money and spent on that post. They are a different unit from reactions and are never added to them, here or anywhere else on this page.
Citation-graph rank — 423,435 of 1,176,251entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Named by 2 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 7 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
