I'd like to add, I find it suspicious he's got a convenient string of "new device used". I know for a fact it exists, multiple people have read the respository. step one. delete repository. Log out, type in the wrong password. log in on a new device, delete the other repository. post the suspiciously short history. claim repository link doesn't exist.
does anyone have screenshots of the repository? I'm going to ask the person I was reviewing it with yesterday

@blackviperxvi does the gonzo licence call back to a GitHub because if we can finger out if it does, we can track down the GitHub or whatever he's using

@Rainathelovly I'm thumbing through this at the moment to see.

I recomend reading this btw. They take your discord id, monitor your activity. that's how they "flag" stuff because it's spyware watching your activity.

Is gonzo like only purchasable privately because I have not been able to find anything that clams to be selling gonzo

@Rainathelovly He used to sell it through discord and had all his information on one of those card websites a while back. I'm not sure if he still sells it through discord or somewhere else.
I don't have much, but I share what I can <3
I don't do trading, don't bother! -

obligatory bump for awareness bc not enough people know or understand what gonso does

@ElectromaVR yeah. Definitely. I admittedly have gotten mass harassed by bootlickers not here but elsewhere for even talking about gonso in a bad light.
I suspect others are as well, because of the sudden silence.
I've privately at least told my friends what this shit does even if I can't publically. Word of mouth spreads info a lot more than we think it does, so let your friends know.
Fuck gonso
Fuck DRMs
Fuck info farming -
The funny thing about Gonso is they have updated the TOS on Jinxxy. Creators now need to state that they use it and what it does now.

Well, all of it can go fuck themselves. I miss when I could just buy an avatar and have fun with it now its
"NO YOU CANT I MUST PROFIT OFF OTHER PEOPLES WORK YOU FUCKING THEIF HOW DARE YOU NOT GIVE US YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION FUCKING ASSHOLE IM GONNA GET YOU MASS BANNED FROM PLACES ALSO DOX YOU AND ALSO GO FUCK YOURSELF FOR NOT GIVING ME YOUR DISCORD" at any fucking interaction with creators
-
I have had it up to fucking here with these slop creators treating people like shit. They farm your personal info because they feel entitled to it, taking your money, banning you, and revoking access without refund because "waaahhh you gave a fake discord! I need to go to the ER for a mental health crisis now!" And some even add you to a blacklist to spread to other creators so they can ALSO rob you of what you've bought just because you don't want to give your discord away to random mentally ill vrchat creators that downloaded 30-40 assets and slapped it together to resell for $50usd. Creators collecting your personal info is a safety risk in of itself.
But there's an even larger safety risk. I've been made aware of the spyware Gonso. It tracks your internet usage, takes note of your IP, Discord ID, VRChat username, and monitors your pc. They hide it into the unity packages so your Windows Defender (or whatever you use) can't flag it as malware or spyware, which it is. This is extremely illegal. If you have an avatar that has gonso in the unity package, delete it immediately. This is extremely unsafe and illegal behavior.
Fuck that avatar, fuck that creator. This is a huge, HUGE safety concern.
According to the Federal Trade Comission:
Just to show how extremely serious this is.
Whenever I see a creator that uses gonso, I will be listing them here. I don't want this to become a witch hunt, so only mention a creator with proof. I will be adding screenshots of the felon-- I mean, creator, in question, the avatar, and the screen that shows the gonso spyware in unity. Do not just say creator names. This is for safety reasons not for drama. I don't care if you think it protects creators from leaking, that is an unimportant issue here. You don't get to install spyware onto people's pcs. So if you come here trying to sympathize with these felons that do this, pre-emptively, just shut up. Whether you're for or against leaking, we should be united in this case against this. This is a larger, massive issue.
And to the creators who use spyware for fucking vrchat, a video game, from the bottom of my heart, fuck you. Your slop is not worth a huge safety risk. In the grand sceme of things, it doesn't matter if your little project got leaked BECAUSE you want to install spyware onto everyone's pcs cus your feewings are hurt. It's massively illegal.
Perhaps you want this list because you don't want to buy from creators that install spyware onto your pc. Definitely don't support them monetarily. Especially when their spyware makes it to where you can't edit the avatar in blender and it's locked to your pc cus it yoinked your IP to monitor you. No avatar is worth this much danger. I'm serious. No avatar, no matter how pretty or cool, is worth your safety.
Here is a testimony of someone talking about the Gonso spyware and creators abusing a "Universal Creator Blacklist." I recommend watching at 1.5 speed. In this video in the first few minutes, they are talking about how they were helping their friend upload an avatar because they had bought an avatar, and didn't know how to upload it, and because of the spyware, they were blacklisted from uploading any avatars they bought in the future and banned from purchasing avatars despite any wrongdoing. They bought the avatars legitimately and yet this creator used spyware to monitor their pc activity. That creator then had them banned from ANOTHER store, having what they bought and revoked. Then a third avatar creator had revoked access from their avatars, which cost them another $300 total loss. Video is 5 mins long at normal speed.

Now I will be beginning the list here of creators that use the gonso spyware.

Rosesvrc / Roses / Røses
Uses gonso spyware, has a page explaining how fucking stupid they are to use it
link to their info page about their gonso spyware usage: linkLazminQ || also known as Ruriraaaa (on twitter)
Uses Gonso spyware for their ugly ass avatars they are delusionally proud of, link to an avatar that proves they use the gonso spyware: link
Ibdi
uses gonso spyware on their avatars. This one I had a harder time tracking down. ironic they use illegal spyware to "protect" their stupid looking versions of copyrighted disney characters, of police officers btw. The jokes write themselves.
link to their avatar for proof: link
"buh muh precus avatur"
Question, but is it possible to rip avatars to get around the spyware bs? I will update once I find out this question. I've seen other posts regarding this question as well, so I thought I'd put it out there.
I will be adding users and more evidence as I find it.
Stay safe out there.
@blackviperxvi From The Graves uses Gonso as well
you can't see it very well because it's kinda hidden due to the color scheme but in highlighter it has gonsos card. Link to the avi: https://fromthegraves.com/b/fraust

yeah i got banned and blacklisted by some person named beartrap? i bought one of her avi from her website. But they some how found my ripper account. my discord and ripper acc aren't the same name? she dm me saying she was gonna take LEGAL action against me cause i shared a avatar work upload link i found to another person. reminder this wasn't even one OF HER AVATARS. it was just some furry base model. she told me she was gonna IP ban me from her store/discord and tell other creators to do the same. which kinda unfair. i didnt even do anything. im pretty sure she uses GonsoLicense too...

@thatfag100
I believe people that were reversing Gonso came to the conclusion it's effectively malware that steals browser data, so no wonder they were able to link your accounts together in that case.Would appreciate if someone could send a link to an older Gonso project so I could reverse it myself to confirm, but basically that's what I was told by numerous people in the Rae thread & on Twitter.
@frietheren
Funny because in that case Gonso violates the updated Jinxxy ToS and a lot of avatar creators can get in trouble lol -
@uwuowoawa I can't find where ibdi uses the gonso spyware but I did find the other one and will add it.
if you could point me where to look for ibdi I'd appreciate it ^^
@blackviperxvi if its not too mutch troubel could u like dm me a google doc iwith just a list of names of ppl that make stuf with gonso on it so i can share it with my freinds aswell it would be awsom and itd help me and my freinds stay safe id also like to help spread the word here to let ppl know how dangerous gonso is

I'm pretty sure this person posting is being sarcastic, I haven't read the comments but that'd really really suck of VRChat staff support gonso. But then again I've heard some things about the vrchat devs so I guess I wouldn't be SHOCKED. I'll read the comments.
then again, vrchat store exists, just use that instead of using legally gray software people that seems borderline extremely illegal, if not extremely illegal due to it monitoring internet activity.
it's killed my trust in creators.
