------------------------------ IMPORTANT INFORMATION: ------------------------------ When you create new accounts on tumblr, by default these accounts are "ghosted" After creating each account you will need to run the profile updater, and update the title, description, profile image, and theme. Then you will need to follow 5-10 people, like 5-10 images, post 1-3 images, reblog 5 images. After you perform those actions wait 1-3 days for your accounts to be un-ghosted. To determine if your accounts are ghosted log in to another account and search the tags the account in question has posted. If your post show in the search feed you are no longer ghosted. DO NOT over do the actions per account per day. Keep actions within reasonable limit of a real tumblr user. We recommend 1:1 ip to account ratio but feel free to experiment with more. Do not post or reblog to the same url or "money account" over and over, you will need to use multiple URLs. Only the first 5 tags are indexed in tumblr searches. Anything beyond that is useless. X-Requested-With Header must be supported by your proxy provider. ------------------------------ HOW TO SUBMIT A BUG ------------------------------ We deal with several of different flavors of windows and thousands of detections from tumblr so at some point or another you will probably run into a bug.

You can disable this under the Settings tab by setting Use Simultaneous Connections Per IP to Yes. The reason for this option is that Tumblr may have IP rate limiting in place to prevent DDOS attacks or the use of multi-threaded processes, running multiple threads on the same IP address could also lead to marking your proxies / IP's as spam. Should any of these programs show the error message: "No Accounts Available For This Thread" it is because you do not have enough accounts in the system on a unique IP address or proxy to run that many threads. The program will continue to run on the total available number of threads that you have specified for the accounts remaining. ------------------------------ IMPORTING ACCOUNTS: ------------------------------ You can import accounts from a .txt file in the following formats (1 account per line): Username:Password Username:Password:Proxy:Port Username:Password:Proxy:Port:ProxyUsername:ProxyPassword Username:Password:Proxy:Port:ProxyUsername:ProxyPassword:UserID Note: Tumblr require login via email address so your username is your account's email address. The user ID is the ID of the blog, E.g. http://XXXXX.tumblr.com/ - User ID is not required as xTumbleBot will scrape this for you. To remove accounts you can check the boxes next to accounts & click Remove Selected Account (This works with multiple checkbox selections) or by clicking the Remove All Accounts button. There is also the option of importing your proxies seperately. You can do this by importing your accounts in any of the above formats. Any accounts that are not imported along with their own proxy will use a proxy that you import via the Load Proxies button. Proxies can be imported in the following format from a .txt file (1 per line): Proxy:Port Proxy:Port:ProxyUsername:ProxyPassword Importing proxies seperately does not link accounts to their own proxy, it will pick one at random for each time an account is used starting with one that is not currently inuse & incrementing its way through your proxy list. ------------------------------ ACCOUNT CHECKER ------------------------------ Select to use accounts in the system or load accounts from file. Import accounts from text file in the following format: EmailAddress:Password:Proxy:Port:ProxyUsername:ProxyPassword:UserID Choose threads. Click Check Accounts. Upon completion you can click Export Good / Bad Accounts (Bad Accounts are disabled accounts / incorrect login information). ------------------------------ ACCOUNT CREATOR: ------------------------------ This bot requires just 2 things to create accounts: A list of usernames & email addresses - optional proxy information can be added to the username field. Formats (1 per line): Username Username:Proxy:Port Username:Proxy:Port:ProxyUsername:ProxyPassword Email Addresses - Each Tumblr account must be assigned to its own email address, the following type of email accounts will be supported by xTumbleBot: Verified Hotmail Accounts POP Enabled Gmail Accounts POP Enabled AOL Email Accounts POP Enabled Yahoo Accounts POP Enabled GMX.com Accounts POP Enabled Mail.com Accounts Add email accounts in the following format: EmailAddress:Password Once you have entered this information choose how many accounts you would like to create & click the start button. Verify Email Addresses Only - If checked the program will NOT create accounts, it will simply go through all of the email accounts you enter & check them for the verification email & click the link (Useful for when email verification emails are delayed). You can export the created account information at any point. ACCOUNT CREATION TIPS: Do not create any more than 1 account per IP per day.
