Addressing Recent Accusations and Live Verification Plan
Hey everyone, I'm writing this to address the recent blog posts and accusations about my account, and to announce what I'll be doing to clear things up.
Let Me Be Clear About My Past
I made mistakes early on Codeforces. In contests, I collaborated with friends and referenced code I shouldn't have. I'm not going to hide from that or make excuses. It was wrong, and I take full responsibility. I've learned from those mistakes.
My Recent Performance Is My Own Work
Since those incidents, every submission I've made has been my own work. I've reached Master rating through honest practice and genuine problem-solving. I can explain the logic behind any of my recent submissions. That said, I understand why people are skeptical. My past actions broke trust, and trust takes time to rebuild.
The Accusations
Recent blog posts have accused me of:
- Using AI-generated solutions
- Having inconsistent skill levels across accounts
- Cheating in multiple contests
I understand why these claims have raised concerns, especially given my history. But accusations based on formatting differences, submission timing, or platform speculation aren't proof. I know that in competitive programming, real skill shows up under pressure, not in comment sections.
Here's What I'm Going To Do
Words aren't enough, so I'm putting my reputation on the line. In Educational Codeforces Round 191 (Rated for Div. 2) on June 9, 2026, I will:
- Open my webcam for the entire contest
- Record my screen for the entire contest
- Upload the full uncut recording publicly immediately after
- Share it directly with anyone who questions my performance
This will prove that I can solve problems at my current level without any help, no shortcuts, and no outside resources.
What I Expect In Return
If I do this verification and the recording clearly shows me solving problems at my rating level legitimately, then I expect the same honesty I'm showing: If the verification proves my current level is real, I expect public acknowledgment that the concerns about my recent submissions were unfounded. You can't accuse someone publicly based on circumstantial evidence, then ignore it when they prove you wrong. That's not fair, and it's not how this community should work.
The Bigger Picture
I'm not asking for perfection. I'm not asking people to forget my past mistakes, I've already acknowledged those. What I'm asking for is:
- A fair chance to prove my current level
- Judgement based on evidence, not speculation
- Acknowledgment when proof is provided
- The ability to move forward without indefinite public shaming
Moving Forward
After the live verification, I'll be focusing on:
- Competing honestly in all future contests
- Preparing for ICPC (where my skills can be verified onsite)
- Contributing positively to the community
- Letting my performance speak for itself
Final Thoughts
I know I broke trust in the past. I own that. But people can change, and I've worked hard to become a better competitive programmer. This verification should settle the question about my current level. If it does, I expect the community to accept that evidence and let me move forward. I'll update this blog after the contest with the recording link.
P.S. To anyone still skeptical: I get it. I'd be skeptical too if I were in your position. All I can do is prove myself through action, which is exactly what I'm doing. Judge me by the results.
Blogger's Review: This article is not just a response to accusations but a profound reflection on the trust mechanisms within the competitive programming community. Through live verification, the author seeks to rebuild trust; however, true trust restoration requires time and ongoing honest performance. This incident could spur greater awareness of the importance of fair competition.
