Bitcoin Forum

Hey guys!

It's my birthday today, and I'm here for a nice treat! Since I have some unused sMerits that are not yet been given, I have decided to give away some to newbies (and especially those who have a few left to rank up in the forum) as a birthday treat.

However, here are some of my rules of applying:

* If you have zero posts, don't apply. I won't accept you.
* No alt accounts allowed.
* If your posts are full of POA (proof of authentication) and bounty reports, I won't accept your application. Don't bother applying.
* If your account has a red tag, don't bother applying. Same thing goes to the cheaters and abusers of this forum.

I will go over your posts and if I see something that is valuable and helpful to me and the community, I'll be happy to send you one. However, there's no guarantee about giving you merit once you've applied.

To submit your application, reply here with the following:


To all who have applied with the old format, please edit your post with the following above.

Cheers everyone!

Happy B-Day, my dude, hope you have a good one. Thanx for the initiative, I appreciate it :)

Happy Birthday cheezcarls!!

Great initiative this one; sometimes, it seems that be forget that we all were Newbies once.

Taking into account that you will check the activity of those who apply before sending them the merits, I aplaude your willingness to "work for them" in the day of your birthday. Keep up and have a nice day (at home)!  ;)

This has not been a very thrilling activity of the forum though, it remains a special one or thing to the celebrant but, i can't tell so well how it is to the rest of the forum users. Sometimes i wonder, should the thousands of participants in the forum be keen on celebrating their birthdays, what is the forum boards going to look like because, everyday might just be some person's birthday. Again, it would give hackers a clue to guessing users pass codes and the unfortunate users which might very well be the beginners that tend to create pass codes based on their birthdays for easy remembrance.

Using it as a way to aid beginners rank up is quite a way to commensurate the occasion to a forum proactive activity which makes it a good thing as it helps someone, some hidden good forum user and brings to visibility some valuable post. It's always good to celebrate with friends and with that spirit,,,
I'm wishing you a happy birthday and hope your new beginning graces you with things you desire.

great giving a chance for newbies to rank up, I'm also planning to give merit for the same prerequisite for newbie and jr member but, thinking twice since if I make the same post, it will look like I'm just copying others topic, so if someone will post here I'll try to see their profile and post, ill be giving merit for qualified newbies and jr members, here in op post, hope i'll be able to help in a small way.

Thanks for the wonderful birthday greetings!

I understand and respect your opinion. I am just thinking of it as a way of giving back since I don’t have any benefit at all if I just keep these unused sMerits for long and may decay in the near future, but of course I don’t just wanna send everybody a merit easily, etc. I will only give merit to those posts where I think it’s very valuable and helpful for me, and not those who are merit beggars or with low quality posts and unimpressive ones.

And once they’ve applied here, they must not expect 100% that I’ll give them a merit receipt. No guarantees. It still depends if one of their posts is going to help me a lot and is very valuable to the community plus the qualifications I have set for them.

Cheers!

May you enjoy to the fullest the joy of today. Wishing that your special day be a winner all the way!
I don’t know if a newcomer who just came here will be encouraged.
I try to apply it.

I don't see anything wrong with what you are trying to do here, keep your head up and have a wonderful birthday celebration, smerits aren't meant to be kept forever, it's there to help rank high quality posters up fast, happy birthday once again mate

Any -Newbie- that would speak-of merit scarcity or partiality will only be exposing how lazy, and unwilling to do good and capitalize on the leap giving to -Newbies- and to -Newbies- going to DM for merit-begging, offers like this are better for you, except you are falling short of the rules of selected meritable profile.

First, Happy Birthday to you.

I won't comment on how you have used the rest of the sMerit saved on your account so far as it's completely yours. As long as it doesn't break the rule then do it well.
But one thing I might suggest to you. Don't focus too much on your sMerit spending for newbie as you can get other quality posts from high ranking users. Merit are distributed on quality posts, there is no limit to the ratings that receive them. But it's all up to you.

All newbie who have had 30 activities will have a chance to move up the rank to Junior member if they gain 1 merit. Will you send them all to move up the rank?
Sorry to be a little kidding.  ;)

Many many happy returns of the day
Happy Birthday

I'm 85 merits from my next rank so I won't even ask for it.

I'm just here to wish you happy B-Day and successful 2021. A year of Bullrun and a new ATH for Bitcoin

Cheers!

If I am falling short of that, what can you suggest to be added? I'm all ears. Thank you in advance! :)



Yup I know. This is why I'm against favoritism and I wanted everything to be fair. And of course, I don't want to break the rules. And yes I agree with you that there are high ranking members that are more deserving to be merited due to their helpful posts, but I wanna see if can discover something from the newbies who can do the same.

I am open to suggestions on what should I do to make this better, especially for some posts coming from newbies whom I really feel that it helps me a lot.

i will give it a try

To my manager, don't count this post

Happy birthday to you. I wish you long life and prosperity. Also sharing merit is a great way to celebrate one's birthday as a high ranked member in the forum.
Welldone

Happy birthday dear friend cheezcarls, this is your amazing day and we really wishing you good luck. I wish I would know this forum for a long time, but I joined it today and my first post is this wishing you the best of luck on your special day! Blessed :)

 ;)i only want to say happy birthday to you,and Wish you all the best,good luck

I was hoping that those who will participate, will share their best topic, in this post instead they just post their merit and profile, do a bit of an effort, so that we will be happy to give if we have still some merit to share to juniors and newbies who are just a few merits away,

Many many happy returns of your birthday mate!

I am actually taking this as an opportunity to bring up my important Topics in front of newbies and others. Thank you.

Happy belated Birthday Cheezcarls!

This is a great move, and fair play to you for thrawling through posts looking to give sMerit.

This is something all the higher rank members could do, lets say an extra bit back to the newbie
and close up-ranker community and make it onto the Coin-1Top200 list > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4523027.0

Happy birthday, mate.
By the way, why merit reward only for newbies and who almost rank up? I think it is already a common way to spread up merits. Why don't you give merits for members who never got a single earned merit. So, at least a single merit from you will be very meaningful for them. They will get the merit for the first time.  :)

(Just a suggestion)

Happy Birthday.

Thanks for granting merits.

Lost access to my old account (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2533552) where I was pretty close to becoming a Jr. Member. Thanks again!

I am considering that, but of course, their posts must be helpful, meaningful and gives great value to the community. If I feel that one of their posts are indeed very helpful for me, I would be glad in giving one. And take note that there are no guarantees for a 100% merit if you all have applied. Because I want everything to be fair and square in terms of giving merits and not abusing them. I am still looking at the posts though to see if they deserve a merit from me for being helpful. Having a hard time in making decisions whether to give this guy a merit or not for such helpful posts and not having full of POAs, bounty reports, etc.

Belated Happy Birthday! Thank you for the treat! I hope all of your wishes come true.

I have seen several users interested in the merit you are about to share. Therefore, several users have submitted application according to the desired condition. But I did not see any of them received an merit for submission or application submitted. Is their post that has submitted the application in this thread really not up to the standard you expect ? I also don't see you say anything against the apps these guys are proposing, if they really don't deserve it because it doesn't meet the standard you want then I think you should tell them so these people know and want to improve the quality of their future post.

My advice for you.
1. Try to comment a little for those who have submitted application. This will bring your thread and purpose to life.
2. If you don't have the opportunity to check each applicant's profile to find their worthy post, then change the application format slightly to make it easier for you to get the right post.
Maybe the format will be like this.


My reason:
1. The username will make it easier for you to know who submitted the application for review and to verify the submitted post really the same person.
2. The amount of merit they get in 60 days will make it easier for you to know how often these users make posts that are considered quality by other users.
3. Lastly, you don't have to bother checking each user's profile to find their quality posts as I bet you can't send merit for all of their quality posts (sMerit limitation). Only 3 posts are enough for you to check, it will be easy enough to get them.

These are all my suggestions and views to make your goals better. If you don't want it, just ignore my advice.

Perhaps this is just my opinion, and it does not claim to be generally recognized, but your help to beginners can be a good incentive for them in the future. You motivate them to do the right thing. But I strongly disagree with the miserable request for credit for the account you answered. If for a long time he could not prove himself in any way, being a full member, this is just talking about his vain presence on the forum.

Agree that the registration on July 28, 2017, says a lot. By this time, many have long become legends, and it is very humiliating to ask for merit in this topic, understanding how newbies hope for bonuses.

That's because in my terms there are no guarantees that they will be given a 100% merit receipt. I am taking time plus I have a lot of stuff going on both family and work deadlines lately.


Hmm, I think I should consider this suggestion of yours because until I still find it hard to decide if I should give merit to that post or not. I'll be editing the thread of course.


Nah this advice is helpful. Thank you for this. I will be making some changes now in the thread. One merit for you buddy!

Btw question. Is it wrong or against the rules to send a lot of merits in a single day or having fast interval because of this special treat of mine even if all of them are helpful and valuable? I don't wanna abuse the system, just making sure that I abide by the rules. Thanks!

---

Will have a look at your posts to see if they're something worth. But no guarantees if I can give merit or not.


Also taking a look at your posts. However, no guarantees.


Sorry but like I said in the thread, users with a red tag are not eligible to participate.


I merited your Pencil Carving Work service. Looks very creative and great pieces of art. I like 'em to be honest! You deserve to have more clients!


Will take a look....


Still deciding.....


Already gave you one because that topic is quite helpful for me. Cheers!

-----

To all who I have quoted above (or are there others that I've missed), kindly update your application with this format right here (special thanks to BITCOIN4X for the suggestion and advice):


I have also updated the thread with the new format. Cheers!

Users that I've already merited (will update this from time to time)

1. Luzin
2. so98nn

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

The rule is 50 merit per user in 30 days. That means you can only send 50 merit to the same user within 30 days. Then, if you have 1000 sMerits then you can also send fairly for 1000 posts or 1 merit per user and you won't break any rules even if you do it in one day. But I'm pretty sure you won't get that amount for a quality post.

If you have any doubt, see how the merit source distributestheir sMerit. One example you might consider is @DdmrDdmr merit send history. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=1582324)

Okay cool! Yeah that’s why I have to be careful. I’ll be checking on that too buddy. Thanks again!

HBD OP, I suggest you should make a list of members that you've successfully merited, it seems no one received merit from you yet? Try making a list on the original post to make things look more cleaner and clearer, Long life and prosperity

I didn't ask any single merit. Can you read carefully? I just deliver my opinion and I think this forum lets every member have an opinion. I know you are a legendary member and maybe you are a staff member also. But it is not a reason for you to say at will. Although I was a long time not active here, you cannot judge me as a bad member. Please respect another member!

Yup he was already disqualified because of negative trust, which I already mentioned that in the rules.

Happy birthday cheeszals. Bitcointalk has indeed brought all to a small community where we get to meet with each other learning and impacting.

Discussing bitcoin most relevant posts require proper knowledge of the said topic.

Hey there, OP. It's been days since you posted this for your birthday so I don't know if your treat is still available but I'd still like to participate since this is not limited to newbies alone.  So below is the details required according to the format on the op. These are actually the posts I created before and some of the words are in our local language but it also contains the universal language. I mean, English. I hope you don't mind.

Anyway, I'd just like to say that I or we appreciate you doing this on your birthday. More birthdays and blessings to come to you, OP. Happy birthday. :)
