Title: proof of authentication
Post by: pepethecool on March 10, 2018, 08:16:08 PM
Hi, I've been looking in the begginers topic and I didn't find anything about the subject, so,  what is a proof of authentication post?

Proof of autentication is a means by which a campaign or airdrop asks you to create a post providing certain information which generally you are also asked to provide in a form upon signing-up to the campaign or airdrop.

For example, you may be asked to join a specific telegram group for a stake in a campaign, and then fill-in a form providing your telegram name, bitcointalk profile, bitcointalk name and ETH address. To prove that it was really you who provided the data, you are sometimes required to post a message in the campaign thread providing a required subset of the former provided information such as telegram name, bitcointalk profile and bitcointalk username in a given format.
Campaign manager will cross-reference the data before approving campaign stake rights.


I.e.

#Join-#Proof of authentication
Bitcointalk username: xxxxxxx
Bitcointalk profile link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=Xxxxxxxxx
Telegram profile link: @Xxxxx

Proof of authentication means actually woner proof, many people join fake identity so kill this system.

Actually, merit is quite difficult to achieve. Checkout the META section of bitcoint talk. There's a good pinned post there called "FAQ: Everything you need to know about forum activity, account ranks and merit" . 
Basically you need to earn merit in order to be able to give merit to someone else (sMerit is the merit you give away, derived from the amount of merit you have). You can give away 1 sMerit for every 2 Merit that you gain.

Anyway, glad to have been of help.

You need to earn at least two merits to get one sendable merit (smerits). For every additional merit you get, you are rewarded with smerits amounting to 50% of the total merits received.

Proof of autentication is a means...

It is a very good way of catching imposters, who try to claim rewards of others. KYC is also a good alternative.
