Title: joker_josue Merit Source Application - to encourage the Portuguese community
Post by: joker_josue on September 07, 2022, 11:27:47 PM
Hello everybody,

Most of you may not know me, as I am not very active in the global forums tabs, but I have been on the forum since 2013, right when I had my first contact with Bitcoin. I have been "hooked" to this community until today. Despite having spent a few moments in the past, a little further away, I am currently very active and I try to make my contribution as best I can, day after day.


I am currently one of the most active members of the forum, especially in the local Portuguese (Portuguese) board and having one or another participation in other boards. According to the latest statistics I am the 6th most active user on the forum:
Code:
1. ChartBuddy [728]
2. KTChampions [388]
3. LUCKMCFLY [379]
4. Jody.Drummer [376]
5. Sithara007 [371]
6. joker_josue [355]
7. swogerino [332]
8. serjent05 [325]
9. LoyceV [314]
10. NeuroticFish [292]


I believe that the merits system is an excellent way to motivate the community to continue to contribute in the best way to the forum, in general. I think they are an excellent tool to reward the effort that each one makes, to share knowledge, opinions, and promote debate of ideas, in a community that continues to be free as Bitcointalk is. Despite not being a source of merit, I strive to share the merits I receive with others. This effort has allowed me to be among the 200 most generous members of merit:

This is the August data, but since June I have been in this top.


Despite these numbers and having thought several times about how I would like to be a source of merit, I was always afraid to apply, as I am little known and my participation is very focused on the Portuguese board. I always thought that would always be an impediment to being accepted. But a few months ago, I received some incentives to apply for merit source:
I have created a consolidate version of your data using only Portuguese board information:
I must say that it looks very good and easy to understand which is always important. Good job!

Since Portuguese board is one of the most active ones while you consistently month after month have one of the lowest merit per post ratios, has anyone from your board considered applying for a merit source as I think you could certainly use more of those.

I already thought about it. But then I thought that maybe I'm not in that category, because I hardly browse the international tabs.  :-X :-\
You don't have to be active in the general part of the forum  if you are applying to be a merit source that will be focused on your local board so I don't see that as some kind of a problem.

<…>
That shouldn’t be any issue whatsoever, especially if you postulate to be a local merit source.


In addition, the Portuguese board of the forum is one of the largest and most active of the entire forum, but it is also the one with a very low merits ratio. By the way, the "problems" mentioned by my colleague on the bitmover board, in his candidacy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4726098.msg42705111#msg42705111), are still very current and visible in the community.


Given these incentives and data, as well as the pleasure of being a source of merit, and now that I am Legendary, I would like to apply for a source of merit. Promising to share my merits in the Portuguese board, but also in other places in the forum as appropriate.


Here is my selection of 10 topics/posts to apply as a source of merit:

Since my "specialty" is the Portuguese board, I will only present Portuguese topics/posts (save one topic, which I thought it would make more sense to post the original version and not the Portuguese version), but I will give a brief explanation in English of each one, to facilitate analysis.


#1 - Another excellent work from a forum user, to help the community interact better.
This was originally posted here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5411387.msg60834138#msg60834138).

It adds a note field on each user's profile and posts. You can click the note itself to remove or change it.

P.S: Notes are only stored LOCALLY and will be lost if you uninstall the extension. Only you can see your notes.

#2 - Topic presenting and debating ideas on how miners can act after "The Merge" on Ethereum.
Se tudo ocorrer conforme planejado estamos a poucos dias do ETH deixar de ser minerável, criei este tópico para discutirmos as melhores estratégias para tentar se manter vivo nesse mercado de mineração de altcoins via gpu.

As atitudes que tomei até agora:

- Anunciei algumas das minhas gpus mais antigas (1660S) e tentei vende-las a preço próximo ao encontrado nas lojas atualmente. Em 3 semanas consegui vender metade delas sem forçar muito nos preços, o valor de revenda que consegui foi bem próximo de placas novas. R$ 100 a R$ 150 a menos. (Mas não foi muito fácil, respondi centenas de perguntas no mercadolivre e diversos compradores cancelaram as compras nas primeiras 24 horas por arrependimento).

- Mesmo reduzindo o numero de placas tive que comprar mais uma fonte para ficar pronto para rodar alguns algoritmos que consomem mais energia, péssimo momento para investir mas eu rodava minhas maquinas no limite do limite das fontes para minerar ETH.... então não tem jeito, mesmo reduzindo o numero de gpus tive que arriscar a compra de uma fonte para conseguir rodar os algoritmos mais exigentes.

- Criei wallet nas alts potenciais melhores opções, mas talvez vou até voltar a usar o nicehash pra simplificar as coisas... estou analisando esta possibilidade.

Acredito que a partir da saída do ETH a mineração via gpu vai ficar com lucratividade extremamente baixa ou inexistente, no primeiro mês a grande maioria deverá operar no prejuízo até que a desistência em massa torne as coisas minimamente viáveis novamente. Espero sobreviver mas já sei que não vai ser nada fácil.

Nos próximos dias vou tentar vender mais algumas gpus e ir decidindo oque fazer conforme as coisas forem acontecendo.

Quais as suas ideias?


#3 - Debate on how taxes may be collected or should be applied in Brazil.
Salve salve moçada,

sei que esse tópico já deve ter aparecido por aqui em algum lugar, mas gostaria de perguntar se alguém já teve sucesso em derrubar na justiça essa tributação jumenta e ilegal de permuta critpo-cripto. Googlando por ai achei esse artigo:

https://www.conjur.com.br/2022-jan-20/araujo-borges-tributacao-permuta-entre-criptoativos-ilegal

o qual acredito que sumariza muito bem porque essa tributação é totalmente ilegal e também ilógica do ponto de vista do acréscimo patrimonial que não ocorre! Eu até adicionaria o fato de que a própria tributação de ganho de capital sem possibilidade de redução das perdas no cômputo da base de cálculo é uma forma de confisco. Imagine ainda tributar uma permuta de ethereum por bitcoin e vice-versa, daqui a pouco você deve mais dinheiro que você tem sem nunca ter liquidado nada por reais! Ridículo !!

TODO mundo permuta cripto por cripto pra se proteger das flutuações!

Ficaria muito grato se pudessem colocar informações nessa thread acerca desse tópico, qualquer informação já ajuda. Tipo, já foi fiscalizado? Já entrou na justiça? Quanto esses advogados cobram? Etc.

Abraços e bom fds a todos!


#4 - Analyze user rankings on NFT and how these tools could be useful in the future.
Samuel Cardillo, que é o diretor de tecnologia da RTFKT, criou o “Smart Contract Database (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vv1FNTSgIlAyeOg7lIYyChy9b9XYHJlS-spA7vYSSgk/edit)”, com suas classificações de contratos inteligentes de NFTs, indo de A+ para contratos com metadados e ativos armazenados de forma segura e descentralizada até STAY AWAY FROM SUCH CONTRACT para as piores práticas.

Alguns contratos que ganharam A+:

WhelpsNFT (https://opensea.io/collection/whelpsnft): armazenamento on-chain, os dados visuais estão no IPFS e ele cita que a equipe usa computação inteligente para montar um URI (Universal Resouroce Identifier).

NounsDAO (https://opensea.io/collection/nouns) A+ (+): o melhor qualificado da base, Cardillo considerar o Nouns '' um contrato inteligente que está fora desta galáxia. Apenas pura perfeição''. Tudo descentralizado e armazenado on-chain.

MonsterBlock (https://opensea.io/collection/monster-blocks): ativos armazenados on-chain, e Cardillo considera que eles fazem um uso inteligente do oráculo da Chainlink para RNG (que eu não sabia que dava pra juntar as duas coisas).


4 STAY AWAY FROM SUCH CONTRACT (C-):

Meet the Bloomps, Hedgies, Ready Player Cat NFT e Cryptocoin Factory Collection.....que se resumem a ativos centralizados e conteúdo de meta-data mutável pelo criador do contrato.


Acho que é um conteudo sobre interessante que alguns aqui vão gostar de explorar toda base :)


#5 - Debate on how wars can affect cryptocurrencies.
Alguns anos atrás eu criei um topico (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5214987.0) aqui no Bitcointalk (que foi o meu 1° tópico criado por aqui  ;D), em que ele tinha o intuito de discutirmos os efeitos do ataque que os EUA realizou contra o Irã, resultando na morte de um general iraniano.

Acredito que "todos" já sabem o cenário que estamos vivendo atualmente.

Tivemos e ainda estamos presenciando uma "pandemia" (que de certa forma esta um pouco mais controlada), mas logo após esse incidente que tivemos com o COVID-19, estamos vivenciando algo que de certa forma é catastrófico (que pode piorar) e esta afetando a economia no mundo todo, que são as Guerras.

Em meados de Fevereiro/2022 a Russia efetuou uma invasão militar contra a Ucrania e que estamos vivendo as consequências até hoje, mortes, acusações, genocidios, sansões, inflação e diversas outras coisas negativas em que a guerra ""oferece"" ao ser humano.

Com todo esse cenário que estamos vivendo, a situação piorou, pois com a viagem recentemente de Nancy Pelosi à Taiwan, elevou ainda mais a tensão entre Estados Unidos x China, e que de certa forma se algo não for feito para "apaziguar" ou amenizar essa relação entre esses paises, a situação poderá piorar ainda mais futuramente.

O objetivo desse tópico é de fomentarmos uma discussão sobre esse assunto e como isso poderá afetar a economia mundial e principalmente os criptoativos.

Qual a visão de vocês sobre tudo isso que estamos vivendo nos dias de hoje?


#6 - Review AI tools for creating images or digital arts.
esse assunto não é diretamente relacionado à crypto mas tem a ver com inovação e tecnologia então achei que podia interessar ao pessoal aqui

já viram essas novas engines de inteligência artifial que criam imagens a partir de um prompt de texto?

A mais famosa é o Dall-E 2 (https://labs.openai.com/) que é aberto (por convites) e garante uso comercial para quem se inscrever.
Você ganha 50 créditos no começo e depoios 15 por mês, e pode comprar mais se quiser, cada crédito da direito a 1 prompt de texto transformado em 4 imagens.
além de gerar imagens vc também pode editar ou criar variações

o google também tem uma versão: o Imagen (https://imagen.research.google/)
mas atualmente não está disponível para o público

[picture removed to avoid long thread]

exemplo de como funciona o Imagen

doido né?
recomendo dar uma olhada nos sites.


#7 - Debate on how Bitcoin and associated technologies can end up with intermediation in services.
Como todos sabemos, o Bitcoin é sobre desintermediação do sistema financeiro. Ao minerar, estamos criando nosso próprio dinheiro. Mas além da nossa relação com o dinheiro, há muitas coisas na nossa vida que são intermediada e cada vez mais, parece que a evolução dos mercados, é a evolução do nosso processo de delegar nossa vida a outras pessoas.

No passado, as roupas eram feitas em casas, as mães e avós cortavam nossos cabelos. Plantavamos nossos alimentos e nós mesmos os preparávamos. A educação das crianças era algo realizado pelas comunidades. As casas eram cuidadas, arrumadas, construídas e concertadas por nós mesmo.

Hoje, cada uma dessas coisas é comumente feita por outras pessoas. O resultado no geral, não sei se é exatamente 'mais liberdade', já que muitos de nós precisam trabalhar cada vez mais para sustentar a tercerização de tudo.

Muitas vezes, isso chega - pelo menos aos meus olhos- em patamares absurdos, como por exemplo no caso das academias de ginastica em que tu não precisa se exercitar e é tudo por ondas.

Acho que minha relação com as criptomoedas acentuou bastante minha busca por emancipação de intermediários, que tem só se acentuado. E dia a pós dia acho que estou buscando cada vez mais fazer as coisas que posso, por mim mesma. Claro que é uma posição menos produtiva na perspectiva de Naval por exemplo, que acha que devemos tercerizar todos os serviços que custam menos do que nossa hora/trabalho.

Eu sempre busquei plantar alguns alimentos e isso hoje está cada vez mais forte, agora tenho iniciado alguns estudos em criação de abelhas e pra cultivo de cogumelos. E claro, tudo isso sempre conviveu muito bem com meu envolvimento com cripto. É como se fizesse sentido, sabe?

Eu queria entender, vocês passam por essas questões? A busca pela desintermediação financeira perpassa por outras buscas de relações mais diretas? Eu é algo do meu eu hippie e ngm ta nem ai com isso?

#9 - A new user of the forum, fearlessly presents his first steps in cryptocurrencies, despite the mistakes he made.
Olá a todos os Iniciantes do Bitcointalk, Me chamo Thiago Felipe é tenho 16 anos, possuindo 1,5 anos de experiência no mercado de criptomoedas.

Quando comecei a investir em criptos, eu não buscava informações das utilidades ou então qual o proposito das criptos, sim eu não buscava nenhuma informação, mais dê inicio me preocupava com minha segurança então antes de começar a investir, busquei informações de qual corretora, seria a mais apropriada e segura, acabei escolhendo a Binance por ser a maior corretora do mundo.

Então comecei o meu primeiro investimento com 110 reias em (ada/cardano), não lembro em qual período mais obtive um bom retorno, achando que eu não podia perder dinheiro fiz meu proxímo investimento, R$1000 em (cake/pancakeswap), e no início foi otimo em um uníco dia obtive um lucro de 60 reais, mais 1 semana depois todo o valor que tinha investido, derreteu mais de 50% então esse foi o meu primeiro constrangimento no mercado cripto.

depois desse período eu parei de investir por alguns meses, até que decide estudar sobre as funcionalidades e as utílidades das criptomoedas, então comecei a enxergar tudo de outra forma, passei a entender e compreender as criptos em geral, observei naquele momento que para mim essa seria a maior oportunidade, já que diversas pessoas admiram que através da minha idade e local que moro, eu estejá hoje focado em crescer nesse mercado cada vez mais.

eu iniciei no mercado cripto sozinho, sem amigos que faziam o mesmo ou cursos, foi literalmente sozinho que comecei a me aproximar e se apaixonar por esse mercado, comecei a entender o significado de liberdade e as criptos me proporcionaram isso, eu enxergo esse mercado com uníco onde pessoas podem realmente mudar suas vidas, sendo para mim o mercado mais lucrativo que existe mesmo com altos riscos e alta volatilidade, aqueles que possuem o poder e conhecimento de gerenciar seu patrimonio saber os riscos que deve ou não correr não importa de onde essa pessoas estejá, ou sua condição financeira, esse mercado possibilita grandes oportunidades de mudança para essa pessoa.

Eu quero resumir para você iniciante, busque informações e conhecimento tenha sede por isso, e você terá total capacidade de crescer nesse mercado, eu não descrevi tudo que queria, por que tenho pouco tempo é nem sempre estou ativo no forúm, mais também sei que aqui há diversas fontes de oportunidades, com pessoas grandes passando seus conhecimentos, a quem quer reconhecer.


#10 - Analyze and debate the effects on El Salvador of Bitcoin adoption.
Esse artigo no Portal do Bitcoin chamou minha atenção e acho que vale a discussão aqui

Crônica de um fracasso anunciado: Adoção do Bitcoin em El Salvador completa um ano | Opinião (https://portaldobitcoin.uol.com.br/cronica-de-um-fracasso-anunciado-adocao-do-bitcoin-em-el-salvador-completa-um-ano-opiniao/)
Para o autor, o presidente Nayib Bukele se nega a dar explicações para o fracasso de um projeto que o país da América Central não precisava

A opinião é bem enviesada contra o Bitcoin

concordo com algumas coisas e discordo de várias

ele cita que o BTC não seria uma boa proteção à inflação pq caiu 60% no último ano enquanto as moedas fiat cairam cerca de 10%, por exemplo
ninguém nega a volatilidade do BTC mas ele tem performado muito melhor que fiat ao longo dos anos, é como um áudio viral que circula pelo whatsapp

"A tendência é de alta infinita, tem umas correçõzinhas de 60, 70, 80% mas depois volta a subir de 10 a 20 vezes..."

Acho que vale a leitura

o que acham, foi um erro por parte de El Salvador adotar o bitcoin como moeda de curso legal?
Se a quotação estivesse mais alta o cenário seria diferente?




Regardless of the outcome of this application, I thank you all for your support and for continuing to participate in this excellent community dedicated to Bitcoin.

I am currently one of the most active members of the forum, especially in the local Portuguese (Portuguese) board and having one or another participation in other boards. According to the latest statistics I am the 6th most active user on the forum:

1. ChartBuddy [728]

10. NeuroticFish [292]

Lol, I would not have imagined that there are people more active than LoyceV. I probably meet him more on the boards I visit. In the case of ChartBuddy, it's clear why he is at the top because the posting is automated, which makes me think that all of you on that list are some kind of bots.

Most of the time we do not notice but in local boards so many things too to notice. We only notice them once they are in English boards. It amaze me when I see some users from local boards with good contribution and earned a lot of merit in a signature campaign.

@joker_josue, consider you have my support for it. Good luck buddy.

It really is true. It doesn't seem to make sense. It was an exception to the rule.  ::)
There is a topic about this in Portuguese. But, I thought it would make more sense to post the original version in English.
As I had already written that sentence, before posting the topic, I didn't notice that I had put "only Portuguese".
I apologize for the lapse. I already adjusted this info in the topic.

Yes it's true, I was further away from the forum during this period without a doubt. It is clear that with this removal he cannot contribute merits, not least because he did not receive them either. But as soon as I became active again, since 2021, I try to share the merits I have available.

We should always welcome local merit sources in order to stimulate discussion within local sections, and the chart for July 2022 shows that there is definitely room for improvement in the Portuguese local board's merit/post ratio:

I always thought franky1 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=65837) was the highest poster on the forum who has an average post of above 300 per month and 10-15 long constructive post daily, whose presence always visible on the "Bitcoin Discussion", but I'm very surprised to notice he isn't at least among the top 10 listed above. So, however, the merit source system was created to help encourage people who are providing valuable content to the forum, of which the Portuguese shouldn't be left out since Bitcoin is for everyone and everybody deserves a fair share of the forum motivation. So henceforth, I wish you the best of luck in your application for Merit source

With your experience on the forum, contributions you've engaged and the earned pedigree of trust i have in you to deliver upto expectation as a merit source, am also very well convinced that you will do justice in the discharge of your responsibilities as a merit source not only to your locale or users you're familiar with but to every member who is a good quality poster to this forum, just as some believed that if you're to know a quality poster, then check on his history and see the caliber of those that merit his account, i believe you've got lot to offer to the forum if the opportunity is given being a merit source, i wish you all the very best with your application and enough endurance while you await the results to your application and lastly, i wish you a calm spirit of wisdom, if your application is successful because you will have lot of encounters from the forum members as a merit source.

Good luck.

Patience is something I don't lack! So I'll be waiting, but with a lot of tranquility.
In addition to other applications being analyzed, Theymos is a very busy person. So it's knowing how to wait.  8)

Also, I believe that now, there will be more scrutiny for what I do, especially the merits I use. So it's about continuing to do my best in this field and helping the community at large.

I am also a very active member in the portuguese board since I joined this forum in 2018.

Joker appeared suddenly,  as LoyceV pointed out, and his posting activity is really impressive.  He is online 24/7, posting in every topic.

I believe he is a good option for a merit source. He certainly reads every post in the portuguese board.

I also read every post of that board, but I really miss another merit source there.

We can see that merit post ratio of portuguese board is very low.


There was a spike recently, but we are still low in merit ratio

joker_josue, I declare support for your application. I never know if theymos will consider some more merit sources in the future as I think several apps from different users are currently waiting for a decision. But I hope you become one of the lucky users among the users who have submitted applications, but I think you should be patient and keep updating your threads regularly until they really consider you.

Now there are only 110 merit sources, so if theymos wants then the number will grow soon.

110 merit sources in a forum of over 3.4 million members is rather too small, way way smaller than I even imagined,  I did not forget the fact that majority of those 3.4 million members are newbies, but I think more merit sources are needed not withstanding.

I have known joker_josue on several parts of the forum, I've also received merits from him a couple of times if am not mistaken, based on his experience and contributions to this great forum, i think he is qualified, and if my support is going to contribute in whatever way, to the acceptance of his merit source application, then I throw in my support for him.

Goodluck to you @joker_josue as we all look forward to the positive result of your application.

It is true that I was not very participative before 2021, but I have always maintained some presence on the forum since 2013.
Now it is undeniable that since 2021, I must have made more than 5500 posts.  ::)

Really 110 sources of merit, seems to be a small number for the size of the forum.
But also, if the idea is to maintain a reasonable criterion in the attribution of merits, so as not to become something banal, the number cannot be extremely large either.
I can even think that it should be a higher number, but there is certainly a set of valid criteria to be so.

The number of users doesn't mean anything: many of them are never used because of evil fees, many are spambots, many are banned, many are bounty spammers and many others don't deserve Merit anyway.
As of last Friday, only 44,190 (https://loyce.club/Merit/all_users_who_earned_Merit_2022-09-02_Fri_05.07h.txt) users ever received Merit.
By saying the total number of Merit sources isn't enough, you're basically saying there are people who deserve to rank up, but are limited by Merit. I don't think that happens much in the English sections, but it could very well be the case on some of the local boards.

I think that's what sometimes happens, in some local boards. For some, the fact that they have difficulties in English does not motivate them to participate outside the local board of their language. If on your board, there are few sources of merits or no sources of merits, you may have a harder time leveling up.

Therefore, I congratulate the various sources of merit, who occasionally visit local boards (even when they don't know that language) in search of good topics/posts.

Yes, you are right mates, there are a lot of users who are worthy enough to receive merits but they can't receive merits. On every local board, there are many merits worthy threads written in their language because of the reason that they are not a good English speaker. Merit source in every local board is very important to motivate his/her fellow countrymen to create more quality threads written in their languages.

Fivestar4everMVP, I agree with what LoyceV said; the number of profiles is not important for some of the reasons above. But if you check bpip, then you will definitely see that there are only 57,950 active users on the forum in the last 3 months. Think half of them are newbie and bounty hunters, so 110 merit source seems enough to be expected to make the current merit system work although some additional merit source are also needed in the local board.

https://i.imgur.com/9rc9ag0.jpg

I quoted DdmrDdmr data from last september 2 to show here too.

Updated the Merit Dashboard to reflect the most recent sMerit available data:

Total sMerit: 1.285.279
Total TXs:       691.708
From Users:     24.522
To Users:         44.190
minDate:        2018-01-24 22:12:21

Now it's just a matter of waiting how it goes. Maybe a year from now, I'll earn this privilege.  :P
OP, I support your application too. I hope you are lucky. Meanwhile, you can still share 1 sMerit for every 2 merit you earn at any time. So don't worry because you can still contribute even for a small amount.

Most of the time we do not notice but in local boards so many things too to notice. We only notice them once they are in English boards. It amaze me when I see some users from local boards with good contribution and earned a lot of merit in a signature campaign.
Ain't that the truth.  I have no sense of how active the local boards are, since unfortunately I don't speak any language other than English, but the Turkish board for example has made their presence known (though not in an entirely positive way) in the past when some members posted in the English section.  And I know damn well that bitcoin is popular the world over, so it makes sense that some of the local sections are buzzing with activity.

OP, I definitely support your application, and I hope Theymos considers it.  We lost a merit source somewhere along the way, and we probably needed to add a few anyway.  Even if your merit-giving is targeted primarily at the Portuguese community, I think that's a good thing.  More merit sources, Theymos!!

If you write more, That means you have to read more to do a healthy discussion, and I believe you do. I would say you deserve to be a merit source. So, I support your merit source application.

joker_josue, as far as I can see, you are very active on the forum, and you are a respected member of the community.
In principle, I always support proposals for more merit sources in local communities, so that the posts of local members get merits for their contribution to the forum.
You have my full support, but experience teaches me that you will have to be patient and wait for the right moment when theymos decides that the time has come to promote new merit sources.
Good luck with your application!

Few weeks ago I was thinking to apply to be a merit source but after looking so many pending requests, I decided not to apply now. Not at least theymos starts approving some of the applications given by the users from last more than a year. Do we know when did we have our last new merit source?

joker_josue is a good candidate to flourish local board. I hope you get accepted.

Congratulations joker_josue for your application. I am not from your Portuguese locals but I am very sure I have seen your names severally in this forum making good contributions. I am also amazed at the fact that you have been around here since 2013. That is about 7yrs. This should simply mean that anything giveable you honestly ask for in this forum should be given you. I am also encouraged to see your stat of activiness in the forum and merit sharing.

I cannot say more than this about you because I don't know much about you, but for being passionate about the forum for 7yrs and still counting shows that you mean well for the forum.
If theymos wants to consider, he will consider you, although there are other good applications not approved yet.

Do we know when did we have our last new merit source?

I could be wrong. But, If I am not mistaken, The last accepted merit source was Ratimov. That was long ago. 30-Oct-19 was the application date and it was approved without even comments (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197199.0) from the community (Lucky one). We had five approved merit sources in 2019. Ratimov, Royse777, fillippone, 1miau, Heisenberg_Hunter. Not sure if all of them still are merit sources. Ratimov's activity decreased a bit when it comes to merit distribution. We have another 13 pending Merit Source Applications. TheBeardedBaby gathered them in one thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197548.0).

I could be wrong.... TheBeardedBaby gathered them in one thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197548.0).

Yet you are wrong. The last time new merit source assignments were in early July 2021. At that point, 14 new merit sources were assigned, I remember exactly the assignment of dkbit98, Julien_Olynpic, NotATether, etc.

In 2021, the long-awaited merit-correction took place, which was organized by theymos. New Merit Sources have been assigned, and the monthly Merit Bank has been increased for all active Merit Sources.

Oh heck yeah. Thanks for the correction. I was talking about  This thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197548.0) by TheBeardedBaby. That's all I get from his thread. Also, forum search and google search both don't show those applications for me. Or maybe I don't know how to search properly. I was going to post on his thread and link to this thread. But, look like there were a few more applications in the last two years. I am not sure if I am aware of them. So, I gave up after seeing your post.

Few weeks ago I was thinking to apply to be a merit source but after looking so many pending requests, I decided not to apply now. Not at least theymos starts approving some of the applications given by the users from last more than a year. Do we know when did we have our last new merit source?

joker_josue is a good candidate to flourish local board. I hope you get accepted.

Good luck brother.

If you think you can be a source of merit, you should apply.
I also had some fears, but I realized that the important thing is to show this availability.
Whether we're going to be accepted or not is another matter.
The important thing is to demonstrate that we want to help the community and do what we can to keep it growing.

Now give me my share is to wait and see what happens.
Now is to wait for Theymos to devote time to this folder and evaluate all applications. And you may have the privilege of being accepted.

joker_josue, I support your application to be a merit source. It seems you really know how you should spend your merits on other users' posts. I checked your data based on merit dashboard, that I can show as in this list.

From the data above added recent transactions I can conclude that you have sent 460 merit (https://bpip.org/smerit.aspx?from=joker_josue) to 89 different users . That's definitely a good stat, but I guess it'll increase quickly if you're a source of merit. Good luck.

Thanks to the stat. To joker_josue and to all merit sources, i suggest to focus more on giving merits to lower ranks than those in the legendary.
Although it's true that majority or some on legendary have more quality posts, but being a merit source i guess they should have kind of merit giving standard that like.
1 merit will be given to a deserving legendary post, 2 merits for hero, 3 for sr and so on. Though sometimes you are out of merit too but you can send them back if say you send 1 merit to a full member so you still have 3 more to be sent.

I understand the point and agree to some extent.

I am of the opinion that merit should be given based on the post made, regardless of the level of the user.
I don't think it's because he's legendary that he deserves less merit than a beginner (for example).

Now, of course when it comes to a new member, I don't look at the level of quality as much as a whole. If it is new, a simple post is already a sign that wants to participate in the forum, and this is already meritorious.

Therefore, when there are new members to post in the Portuguese tab I always try to give merit, to motivate to continue.

Thanks for the support:
@indah rezqi @PX-Z


Note: I'm not giving merit to the answers, so as not to create the idea of trying to attract more support. But I appreciate the support I have received, and all of you deserve merit for taking the time to review my application. Thank you.

OP, I like the local dimension you're taking it from. It takes who knows to know who knows, as they will say in my local parlance. Native speakers will better understand and appreciate posts in their dialects and can appropriately merit them. I've seen a few posts written in local dialects I don't understand but they were good contents upon my check with translator. Sadly, those posts weren't merited. I couldn't fathom why. I believe that with users asking and meriting only local posts, it will encourage local threads to be active. I hope more users from different local boards will come up with this idea too. It's a nice development.

I also had some fears, [...]

For me it's not fear better description is I am not comfortable yet when I am seeing there are no new application accepted in the recent months. There are no point to add another file on the pile. Besides being a merit source is a responsibility, I don't feel I am fully committed to it too. It's just sometimes I feel it good to be a merit source when I am out of sMerit.

Theymos usually approves merit source applications in bulk so I don't think that it makes much sense to wait for already existing applications to be approved before submitting a new one. Due that some members wait for a year or two to get application approved, while some only few months,

Imho, as long as you are active enough you shouldn't have much issues  performing the of a merit source.

I agree. They do not review applications every day or every week. Therefore, it is indifferent, to order now or when the list is already revised.
Imagine that they always do this in January (for example). Applying now, you can only wait 2 or 3 months. But if you sign up in February, you'll have to wait about 11 months.

But I understand, people should only write when they feel comfortable and able to fulfill the mission of being a merit source.

I wasn't informed until now. Let's see if I get enough time to collect 10 posts and compile a good thread 🙂
Let's not take the light away from this topic.

In order to present an overview of the need for more merits in the Portuguese tab (and beyond), here are the most recent data (August'22) on the per post ratio in the local tabs. And I think it's not for lack of quality that the Portuguese tab has such a low ratio, but the few merits available. Maybe other users may have a different view, I don't know...


Several very active local boards like Portuguese, Russian (situation there might be specific due war) and especially Philippines ( I still can't wrap my head around their extremely low merit/post ratio considering how active they are) so their members might think about applying for a merit source status.




The most active members per local board during August 2022

And for the end of this monthly overview, let's see the top 10 active members across the local boards. Once again @joker_josue has been the most active local member with 288 post, leaving @DdmrDdmr and his 191 posts far behind at the 2nd spot and @Ratimov with 159 at the 3rd spot.
