Double Counter Bot Guide: The Ultimate Defense Against Alt Accounts

Double Counter is a specialized security bot designed to detect and block “Alt Accounts” (alternative accounts) from joining your Discord server.

While bots like Wick or Captcha.bot focus on stopping automated robots, Double Counter focuses on stopping Humans. By using a unique verification link that analyzes IP addresses and browser fingerprints, it determines if a user is trying to sneak back into your server using a second account.

In high-stakes communities (Crypto, NFT, or Giveaway servers), this bot is revered as “God Tier Security” for its ability to stop ban evaders dead in their tracks.

⚔️ The War on Alts: Why It Exists

In massive gaming communities (especially in India and Southeast Asia), “Nitro Giveaways” are serious business. Users often create hundreds of fake accounts to increase their chances of winning.

Traditional Captchas (clicking images) cannot stop a human from manually logging into 10 different accounts. Double Counter solves this by identifying the Device, not just the user.

⚙️ Core Mechanics: How It Catch Them

The process is invisible but ruthless.

1. The Verification Link

When a user joins, they cannot see any channels. The bot DMs them (or posts in a welcome channel) a link.

• Action: The user clicks the link and presses a “Verify” button on a webpage.
• Analysis: The bot scans their IP address, Browser Fingerprint, and Cookies.

2. The Algorithm (Alt Identifier)

It compares this data against its massive database.

• Scenario A: “Different IP, but exact same Browser Fingerprint as a banned user.” -> BLOCK.
• Scenario B: “New device, but using a known VPN.” -> BLOCK (if configured).
• Scenario C: “Clean record.” -> APPROVE.

💻 Essential Command List

🚀 Setup Tutorial: The Hard Part

Warning: If you mess up the Role Hierarchy, no one can join your server.

Step 1: Invite & Roles

1. Invite the bot.
2. Go to Server Settings > Roles.
3. CRITICAL: Drag the Double Counter role ABOVE the role you want it to give (e.g., “Member”).

Step 2: Configure via Dashboard (/config)

Type /config and click the link.

1. Unverified Role: Create a role (e.g., “Guest”) that has permission to view only the verification channel.
2. Verified Role: Select the role (e.g., “Member”) that grants access to the rest of the server.
3. Verification Channel: Choose where the “Click here to verify” panel will appear.

Step 3: Security Settings

In the dashboard, enable:

• Alt Blocking: Enabled (Kick or Ban).
• VPN Blocking: Enabled (Recommended for high security).

❓ FAQ: Common Issues

Q: Users are complaining the link is scary.

A: Educate them.

Double Counter is a verified, trusted bot used by millions. Explain that it is an anti-alt measure. It never asks for passwords, only a button click.

Q: My brother and I use the same Wi-Fi. Will we get banned?

A: Yes, probably.

Since you share an IP, the bot will flag the second person as an Alt.

• Solution: The admin must use /manverify @User to manually let the sibling in.

Q: The bot is offline.

A: Lockdown Mode.

If the bot goes down, no one can verify. You can temporarily give the “Unverified” role chat permissions, or just wait. Security comes with a cost.

Q: What is the difference between Free and Pro?

A:

• Free: Blocks alts effectively. Slightly slower verification speed.
• Pro: Faster verification, custom images, VPN blocking, and detailed logs.

🌟 Admin Tip: The “Purge” Effect

When you first install Double Counter, you might see your member count stagnate or drop. This is good.

It means the bot is rejecting hundreds of fake accounts that were trying to join. Do not panic; your community is becoming cleaner and more valuable.

Next Step for You: Invite Double Counter, run /config, and set up your roles carefully. Make sure the bot’s role is at the top!
