Bitcoin Forum

Forum is a platform where people with a common goal meet and interact with one another. They share ideas, challenges and suggestions. I believe that was the main motive behind the creation of this forum. But there is one thing i have observed. Most members, especially the new ones joined because they wanted to hit ranks and participate in bounty campaigns. They are the ones who usually do not add any value to the platform by spamming the forum with unnecessary posts. Because of this, most senior members have decided not award merits to any new member irrespective of the quality   of your post making rank advancement very difficult. Please i would advise my fellow junior members to be proactive and start activities that will ensure a healthy growth of this forum for the benefit of us all. Thank you.

Generalizations and sweeping statements are a waste of time. Merit is still given where deserved, and campaigns are meant to make money, which does not take away from the integrity of the posts. As for value, who can determine any benefit with such varying stages of informational growth, where the support is phenomenal and unquestioning.

Yes I agree with you that many users are misusing the forum.I think senior members have taken the right decision to solve this problem.

Forum is place which gives us chance to communicated with different people having one topic. People shares their persceptions, ideas and different news and ask different question. Some people use it only to earn money. But many don't

Actually this question is really tuff. There is no absolute answer of this. Every forum will say that, they are growing healthy forum but the reality is different. It is very general that forum will always try to advertise their coin or they will try to get advantage. But we hope that, at least they will keep it low.

We accept the reality we are here to earn, am I right? But despite of that reason we need to follow certain rules and regulations in the forum or else we face a consequencies. As what our mate said this is our community we are here as one developed our common goal and be able to achieve our success together as on.

Improvement is being actualize and moreover,I agree with you that many users are misusing the forum.I think senior members should make a good and  the right decision to solve this issue.

This is a free forum. Focusing on cryptocurrency, this is a common ground for every developers, traders and crypto enthusiastic.
No one is compelling anyone to make a coin, start or join a bounty, make a trade or exchange or post.
You can't blame fellow members for not getting yourself a merit. Not everyone comes here for merit.

The spamming of other new members to hit ranks was a major issue when cryptocurrency hit its peak and that is why the merit system was introduced, but still there are few members who abuse the merit system and they are the only ones that give merit to them selves. And there are still who even do not gain merit to there post still spams non sense or repost a previous topic without reading anything. I think we as a member either report them or educate them that in order to earn in bitcointalk they should put quality in their work.

You are not the only person bothered. This issue has been of great concern to most members here especially the old ones. I even saw one popular legendary complaining about it. He was even suggesting signature bounties must be restricted to some people( which i do not agree though) i think there should be a better way out. Here is the link to his thread  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4631747.0

Agree with you, we want also to share our success with others. But they do it a wrong way, they are greed to achieve that rank. It will difficult for the new ones to rank up easily here because our forum uses merit to rank up your account.

Yes i was happy when i saw that thread. At least am not the only person who see this as a challenge. I think getting more forum moderators would help to clear unwanted posts from the system.

I am more than confident that the forum is used only for the purpose of benefit. For example, wear a signature bounty campaign. Few people are interested in crypto currency and are developing thanks to the forum. Therefore, newcomers and write meaningless messages.

I think the people here on the forum are divided into two groups. Some are here to make money, while other people are talking here, discuss interesting ideas and learn about new technologies in the crypto world.

many lower ranked members are just posting replying non sense question for just the sake that they can earn with there signature campaigns as we see one of the legendary member here in this forum discussed this issue with the problem with the new members to regulate signature campaigns in the lower ranked to stop the shit post and unhelpful thread especially on altcoin tab. if this will be implemented this would be sorry to those member that has an rank lower than full member that cannot join signature campaign. hopefully this issue will be fixed and consider other members also.

What do you call this? Later people. Upgrading is actually very difficult, much harder than the original one. Time is not necessarily successful. I wish I could take some time. It can be upgraded. Become a member, and so on. The forum administrator wants to make a good suggestion. Thank you

Everyone has their reasons for coming here. But one of the incentives that prompted the chat administration to raise the rating only for useful actions is that some people began to pump accounts and then sell them. As well as a large number of junk mail.

This is my story, when I signed up here I found my goal to understand a little about cryptocurrency (like normal people join a forum because they want some information). I even didn't know that this account can make money with this bounty campaign and then my friend told me about that. After that, I tried to join to some bounty maybe like normal people here signed up to this forum to earn some money. I think, there will always a spammer in almost forum and I understand about that (maybe because I also one of them and just the other can judge me)

if I think Everyone has a reason to come here, I am more than convinced that this forum is only used for useful purposes

It is very true. The junior members and newbies must learn about blockchain and Cryptocurrency so they can make constructive posts on this forum to improve the knowledge of others on the forum.

I also support Your opinion that many use the forum in malicious ways, but also many use the forum to communicate with other people who share some interests and making money.

Yes. I believe the only way one can add value to this forum is to be more knowledgeable about crypto and the blockchain technology. In this way we will be able to make constructive posts and make the forum healthy.

And themselves the legend and heroes, too, its rank deserved constructive posts, an excellent ideas and other good work? There is also stuffed your ranking, handing over reports and making signature-bounty! And what can newcomers tell new and interesting things to old participants who are more experienced? Nothing.

Yes, I also agree with you that we should all consider doing activities that will bring meaningful growth to the forum and not only concentrate on just getting merits and making rank advancement because all his will come at the right time, when you make meaningful suggestions and someone finds it very useful, the can get merit for this and when it is time for your rank to advance, it will surely do. Personally from this forum, I have learnt alot and I believe if we continue to bring up important topics and make good suggestions, we all will benefit from this forum positively.

I agree that Spamming on this forum has long over dew had it share of tolerance on this forum. While we are all focused on making some money via this forum, i advice that our posts are constructive and very engagement. With this, I am sure there will always be room for learning. We must therefore endeavor to read wide to gain in-depth knowledge and understanding about a topic or discussion before we attempt to contribute to the thread of discussion.
Aside making money, i personally joined this forum to learn alot from diverse individuals who constitute this forum. Therefore in order to assist in nurturing this forum. we must our contributions to threads must be one that everyone can relate and benefit enormously from.
Let work on putting an end to spamming in this forum.

For me the best thing to do so that we grow better in this forum we need to share more reliable informations, so that others would benefits also it inorder this forum will get trusted by most people throughout the whole world.

Even though the forum was created to provide information, some participate in bounty campaigns and wear signature which helps them earn money.

The issue of Spam mails and scammers is something that ought to be duely addressed. Other than that, I think this platform is fulfilling its purpose of being a source of information and enlightenment, especially to those who are looking to get answers about certain things, and I do not think that it is a bad thing that some people are using it to earn by participating in bounties.

I think the forum still has some influence, but in the future, if the forum is not reformed, perhaps the forum will be surpassed by the APP on the mobile phone. This is what the forum needs to pay attention to.

The newbies must understand to respect the forum.

Sure, we can earn from posting with signature campaigns, but at least make their post constructive or make sense.

Though some of them might not be capable of making great post, I hope they will learn through time.

I think as a new member on this forum, one of the best ways to develop yourself in order to make constructive posts and avoid spamming the group is to hold on to bounties for some time and use that time to learn from the forum. It really helps .

It will surprise you to know that someone has been on this forum for half a year and does not even have any knowledge about the blockchain technology. Some people even wear signatures of projects they do not even know anything about. All they do is to come here and spam the group for their shit coins

Thanks my brother for your advice. As a newbie i think i do not have to rush in joining any bounties. I have to take my time to learn from the forum so that i can also start making constructive posts

Yup, there isn't a reason to rush anything. Of course, with signature campaigns this forum has more "active" members than lurkers, compared to some other forums out there.

I've been active in this forum for merely a year and I admit I learned a lot about cryptocurrency here. Yes there's posts on social media and blogs but information coming from this forum is a big help for investors and traders like me. Here you can see and get infos about a good project and also some information about this and that that makes us aware of new developments, recent news, trade signals and market movements. Feedbacks either good or bad about a certain project is useful. Hoping this forum continues to be productive in years to come.

Yes, this forum is really growing. This is because of the many people who join here, here are various types of people like shitposter, merchant, good member, silent member, advertisers, scammers, and many more. The diversity that makes this forum alive. We here should remind each other not blame each other, be it newbies or any rank.  ::)

I agree with you, many people on this forum really do not understand anything about crypto and blochain and it's very sad. It seems to me that everyone who came here and stayed, should have at least a basic knowledge of crypto.

Well, the forum isn't healthy recently I saw a lot of nonsense topics on altcoin discussion and ended up receiving a merit. Merit should be earned as hard as possible, and members should act like a mature person to interact with other person.

From your post, it feels like you are pained that you have tried so hard to leave Junior Member but your efforts are frustrated as you don't have enough merits and instead of you to blame the system you find solace in blaming others for not having quality posts deserving of merits. Not cool man.

The forum still performs its functions, where else you will find so much useful information about the coin you are interested in. When a coin becomes interesting to me, I'm looking for information on it on the forum. Because there will be no articles and videos written by order of the project developers.

I like your offer, but the matter is that the market dictates its terms, and the administration of the forum may review and tighten them. Many people come to the market only for money, which spoils everything! I hate those threads about Ethereum or what's better Eth or Bitcoin and thousands of short comments there!

if i have merit i would have given you right now. Maybe i will see this thread in future when i have merit and i will definitely give you. You just dropped a complete truth. many are just here to earn and in the process drop alot of meaningless posts just to earn crypto. I have been seeing this forum for years but i could not use it because i didnt understand what it was about. But today i know and it is a store house for alot of information.

however, with the way the forum is going, there will be lot of disinformation instead of information.

We participate in this forum looking forward to developing a healthy forum. This forum may be of interest to those interested in the cryptographic market. I've been looking for a lot of useful information about bitcoin domains that I invest. People can share their experiences and knowledge about electronic money.

Forum is really useful and it helps a lot in my work. I hope there will be more forums like that and they will so useful as well. There are a lot of information here.

Healthy forum size is certainly easier for people to find information that is expected, as we know that this forum is so complete that it becomes the main reference for investors to put money in crypto.

The fault is not from the system but people like you. You see every advice on the forum as a merit-oriented post and so you are not ready to change. Even his 5 merits indicates that the posts that he deserves merit, he gets them. Its better you also start learning and get for yourself some merits

I hope you are right in this case. The furem has becoming a so important and useful part of my crypto-life and I'm really pleased to see its increasing.

My brother you have talked the gospel truth. Although I ve not been on the forum for long, I ve taken time to read quite a number of posts here and some of them are very funny. The English is bad and you find it very difficult to figure out what the person really wanna communicate. Constructive post doesn't necessarily have to be technical but at least it should be read and understood.

So far I believe that we are growing a healthy forum here, people are more than willing to help others on this forum and I think that is what matters when you look at a forum to know if it is healthy or not. A lot of people can come here to get advice or to just meet with other like minded investors if that is what they wish to do.  If it is hard for you to get out of the junior rank then you should know that the new rules are in place to prevent people from spamming the forum and putting rubbish posts on here.

This forum means a lot to me. In addition to all this, it gives a great chance to earn money. I do not think that the participants of the bounty as something clogging it

absolutely not.

A healthy forum would not have people saying lies about crypto, like: hodl, you´ll be OK, or "do not panic".

A healthy forum should tell you what the situation is, WARN YOU AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE THAT THE PROBABILITY OF LOSING IT ALL IS HUGE, and consider reality as it is, not manipulate it to make it appear WHAT IS NOT.

This forum is toxic because almost noone is warning the disaster. pretty much 98% of the guys here will push their own agenda telling you to buy or hold because they need stupid people to pump their coins for them to get profit in short term.

Traders are manipulating this forum as they are doing it with the market.

look forum is the place where you will find all the necessary questions . and if necessary, you will be told how and what to do.

After the introduction of Merit system this forum is growing very nicely. Because there is suddenly spiked topics which are more or less sensible and have some direction so that people can discus it in the deepest serious mode. This forum does have great community support and apart from that it does carry lots of opportunities within its core so that people can earn from it and have fun on it. BTT has become centre point of every crypto enthusiast and I guess time will come when there will be only one place to understand the crypto and thats BTT.

Everything is happening on the forum every day as you said. I don't think this is a bad thing. At least this proves that more and more people are joining this market, which is what we hope to happen. As the market grows and different people enter the market with different ideas, there will definitely be different opinions being proposed. Some new members may indeed ask some very basic questions because they don’t understand anything. It's not their fault. On the contrary, I think this is a good thing, because everyone wants to improve and wants to learn. We should treat these issues with a neutral attitude.

To me, this forum is a very good platform. If you have time, you will definitely open it. This platform allows me to learn a lot of knowledge and share the experience of others, and I can share my opinions with others. I hope there are more. Many like-minded people come to this forum to benefit all of us.

I still believe that this forum is still the first place you want to go if you want to learn about cryptocurrency. We cant just stereotype newbies because some of them are so eager to learn and we dont take that oppotunity away from them. Even so some just wanted to earn from bounties, we should not close our doors.

This forum is a place for people who like to exchange cryptocurrency shares. It brings together more like-minded friends. I think even new people have the same purpose. I think they should be treated the same.

I believe that majority in this forum are aiming to become bounty hunters and I would have also to agree that there are instances that some newbies do not really comply to the policy of the forum wherein the member should have to make constructive quality post. However, I believe in due time the newbies will start to learn and may improve in their postings. I know for a fact that merits really is hard to acquire but just continue to do good postings for time will come you may get it unexpectedly.

yes of course I hope there is a cleaning from the moderator to clean up all spammers in this group, and I don't think it's just spammer even scammers must be cleaned up.
usually beginners make posts without reading the rules first, they must be warned

Why not punish those who publish scam? As well as some irresponsible bounty managers, the root cause of the unhealthy development of the forum is due to the proliferation of scam and the unconditional acceptance of bounty by various bounty managers for various projects.

It is on the contrary cool as there is an opportunity not only to communicate with interesting people and to receive information, but also to earn big money.

It's cool that the site gives such incredible opportunities as earnings and communication. The most pleasant hobby of all that can be

As you can see, many people are coming in to the forum day in day out. The market might not be pleasing at the moment. Still many account are being open so also many account are being banned.

That's great and I like that because now a lot of members in this forum play cheats and want to increase their ranks easily.

By using the feasibility it is definitely difficult to raise the rank.

Forum is a place to share ideas, challenges and new opportunities. We all here have a common goal and to achieve that certain rules and regulations should be followed.

merit system is not the best decision for this forum. jr. member rate is increasing day by day. it does not work outside of it. we don't deserve that faith.

Many do not interfere with the participants of the bounty. For me it is very, very cool and I hope that bounty will continue to allow you to earn communicating here

Your idea is utopian because people do not want to study - they want to earn money, and for this reason, they need to write a certain number of words regularly. And normal discussions on the case here will not work - it's not even about newcomers, but about the fact that the entire system of earnings makes you neglect what you write!

The merit system is now strict. Now one even need at least one merit before ranking up to Jnr. Member status
