Bitcoin Forum

my fellow hustlers this matter dey worry me, e come be like say our board dey left out for merit source compared to other local board because, for this board na only one merit source wey we get and that one no go do us as we dey many for the board, e get one local board wey I enter (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5253221.msg54558836#msg54558836) I confirm am say dem create thread to merit quality post wey no get merit, and if u Check this local board you go confirm say dem get many merit source.

though boss Charles-Tim (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2776678) and Ogah cyptoprenuerBrainboss (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1052091) dey untop the matter (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5360200.msg62595307#msg62595307) but I still fill say make I make am know to us say we don due for new merit source so that we go fit shook mouth put for the matter to drag theymos attention make en for hear our cry.

mr theymos sir, please we are in need of at least one more merits source, as having just one alone isn't enough in this local board, we are actually lacking merits in some quality posts.

make ona shook mouth put oo, abi we no need new merit source?

This is actually the link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5360200.msg62595307#msg62595307

Or on the former merit application, you will see the link. It is the first link on the OP.

On the application (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5360200.msg62595307#msg62595307), check the stat and you will see how we need more merit sources.

Let us hope theymos will answer us.

You're right OP, there's more needs for the naija local board to have more than one merit source, this will help the even distribution of merits to active members of the board contributing well to the forum at large, there are other local boards with more than two merits sources in their board and they help their members posting well to have the opportunity of ranking up after meeting some certain criterials, someone like me, I don't think i can remember when last i received merit from this board that's if I've ever received once, i believe there are more responsibilities attached to our board merit source and considering the numbers of members posting that he will also have to find some quality post deserving to be merited, chances of everyone getting merits is slow, but having an additional merit source will make the whole process more simple to achieve.

There are 3 people I had in mind Theymos should give merits source, although we already had 1 merits source which is Brainboss but only 1 isn't enough for us so people Like Igebotz, Mpamaegbu and Charles-Tim who is currently on the run to get approved as another merits source for we board. What you said is right to whatever you (we) would post over there let it be comprehensible and meaningful than just putting mouth for putting sake, make e no be like say we just rush go spam the thread.

On a lighter note we need more than 2 merits source and subforum were each an every post has a belonging then also admin to monitor those areas are needed with immediate effects as I believe some of the foreigner may not be able to decode or pidgin English correctly to moderate unless those post are directly reported to the mod before they could take immediate effects.

Na better thing you talk for here some kind times me sef dey reason am say no be every body dey understand the pidgin language and we truely need sub board for am though, we see am as a means of privacy for coded matter wey we not want outsiders to no but, e go dey much better if them create the sub board with moderators.

Concerning data wey Charles-Tim give for en application (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5360200.msg62595307#msg62595307) you go confirm for the month of june say our post na 1068 while merit na 242 but Indonesia get 1106 post and 1037 merits, ona dey see the difference ?

SmartGold01 na true everything wey you talk. The stress and the whole delay for d thing just tire persin na wetin make me just shift eye on top am. E come be like sey big man theymos nor too send. I dey see how oda local board dey throw merits and na because dem get heavy merit sources there. We nor go relent anyway until we finally get more people in there, anyway.

Boss, make you no give up as everything go take place gradually. Una three wey @SmartGold mention,if una become merit source at least the thing go relief Brainboss to dey merit post all the time because na part of him work be that. I thank God say we don follow dey chuk mouth for the matter,so that Theymos go know say we dey serious for this issue of more merit source. But from the way I dey see am,e be like say Theymos na man wey dey take him time to grant people their request when pressure no dey. If Theymos see say all the time we dey talk the matter before you know the thing go tire am,he go come give one person first. So make we no think say Theymos don shun the mata,na our pressure mata pass. I still remember how people for here tell me for how long wey them don dey ask for local board before him give us.

My Oga @Charles-Tim, I salute your efforts regarding dis merit source matter, since wey join dis our local board, I observe say na you bi di most active poster, so you deserve to be a merit source. Di link wey you share for here about your merit source application, suppose make Theymos, consider di request sharpaly, because e capture di whole essence of why we need more merit source for our local board. And e go good say make we naija people de make quality posts for dat thread, to support dis noble cause.

Naija people, we no suppose carry last for bitcointalk forum, I know say in no time you go became our merit source and from there others go join you.

I don first shoot mouth before for the thread to pleased theymos to give Charles -Tim merit source to our local board, because we really need people that will be encouraging quality Post in the local board because, na only BrainBoss dey encouraged quality Post in dis local board wey e dey sweet me. I think we need like three merit source in this local board because the population of users is increasing every day based on some of the good crypto and BTC discussion that is happening in the local board.

We all know this matter and we members Don dey deliberate on this matter since but the truth be say  we also know say the operation of the forum with such matters dey take time and e for better say those above members you mentioned should submit an application because na application go first start everything and for now so the boss himself sef dey hardly answer people application.

You are correct. Merit source should be by application, not nomination. Maybe nomination is not the right word that I should use, but you people understand what I am implying. Any established member can come up as long as he/she is able to look for ten good posts that he/she can use to apply.

But theymos has sent PM of merit source offer to some of the members of this forum before which are good posters.

This matter done dey ground since but e con be like say Oga theymos no dey show serious consignee for these low merit source issue, now way this matter done come on board back we get to take am more serious from here,  but the truth of the matter be say some of us dey see this merit source job as common work, but we dey fail to understand say to be a merit source, need more and more forum attention, more reading, more knowledge and experience, although many people they available for the merit source, even our boss man @Charles-tim self already applied for this position so I go like make him take that merit source position, Oga brainboss self dey ground for that position too.
This lack of less merit source issue don make some newbie way from Nigeria and way dey more frantic to grow their account fast fast no dey come post for these Nigeria board because them see am say merit source to merit their quality post no dey, so make our Oga @theymos try give us more merit source.

Let me be off topic a bit,  how can an account that was created on the 11th of July 2023 know how the merits application and the efforts that have been put into getting the local board another merits source?

I am just curious to know,  because when I first registered on bitcointalk it took me months before being able to get used to some terms and also took me almost a year to know how the bitcointalk forum politics are played.

But of a truth, we do need more merits sources here in the local board not just one and I think other members of the Nigerian community who feel their qualify to be selected by the forum administrator should also apply because we all know how luck plays a vital role in forum activities,  who knows whether just one application from other members and the admin may approve it ASAP.

So let us not put our eggs in one basket,  and even the cryptocurrency brain boss is not even our local board merit source,  but he is just playing that role because of his love for our local board even though he has low monthly merits allocations.

So we need more selfless individuals with high luck to also try their luck in the application for merit source,  and we should all show our support to any Nigerian that put forth their foot to apply for source position.

Na so this local board needs more two merits sources because the post made in a week is more than the merits in the board. And also the Merits wey theymos dey allocate to di Merits source here e dey very small. And we dey beg theymos to increase the merit allocation to the only one merit source we get. And also approved two new persons as merit sources without application or with application.

Selected? You just do not want to work for it, you need it as a gift.

Make effort if that is what you want. Apply for a merit source.

Why are you contradicting yourself?

Just like you showed support with your criticism post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5460859.msg62605212#msg62605212). Only you among all Nigerians.

https://ninjastic.space/post/62605212

Let’s hope and pray that he approves that soon and add more merit source to the local board. The merit source approval has to be with application first, there’re some criteria needed for a person to become a merit source, I don’t think if they don’t have that criteria they’ll just be given the role. Merit source as a I know is a selfless and voluntary service to the forum, it requires you to go through the post of others for the best posts that needs merits but lacks enough merit. If one does not show concern or commitment that they want to be one, I don’t think they’ll be granted just like that.

I see ur merit sources application wey you drop since September 15 2021, and I see say theymos just ignore am, but e still make sense d way you just bump am again, I dey reason say maybe na because Naija never get board that time na why him just ignore your application be that, but now wey we don get local board, and from the analysis wey you drop recently, then we no dey receive enough merit and na because we no get plenty merit source, like say na just 1 merit source we get for dis local board which is CryptopreneurBrainboss. Make we dey hope now say theymos go give Charles-Tim merit source now. from the way Charles- Tim dey active for local board and other section self theymos fit consider am dis time around, but make we all go the thread wey Charles- Tim create make we go support am, make we no leave our brother alone there because na everybody wey dey dis local board him dey fight for. If him get d merit source now, e go benefit all of us wey dey here, we see d way other merit source dey share merit for their local board.

I don take my time read  the posts for the application coupled with the statistics wey our senior man present. Truly no doubt about the fact say we need another merit sources wey go back up the only one wey we get already.
Of lately and according to the statistics presented, we are growing so fast that we need more hands to sustain the one we have so that more people would be encouraged to do more.  From my observations, it looks we have been on the this for quite a long time and possibly as a result of the fact that we had no local board hence we were ignored but I believe Theymos would give attention to it soonest.

I concur to the idea of we going to make comments and replies on the application thread but we should apply caution while engaging. Quality and meaningful engagement is what matters now as to pave way for the process to scale through successfully. Possibly, if Theymos deems it fit for us having another merit sources then I believe not only will he give us a merit source, he will also give us our local board as well.

I think you are misunderstanding my comments and taking it to be a direct statement targeting an individual,  but if you read my comment without any prejudice you will know that what I am saying is the same in all the comments,  unless you misunderstood me greatly and I won't blame you if you do so since English is not our basic language since English just a borrowed language to us here in Nigeria and we are all still learning the act of mastering the language at the individual level,  so this kind of misunderstanding happens time to time.

So mate don't take my comments and observation personal,  as we all have rights to air our views in whatever discussions that is going on here in the local board and the main board of the forum respectfully without any fear or favour as long as we have our own opinion and suggestions to contribute to the discussion.

On the topic of new merit source for the local board,  I am sure you are aware that you are not the only Nigerian applying for that even though you seems to be the only one who have created a topic for that a long time ago,  and why I mentioned individual luck being a major contributor to being selected is the fact that,  when the first set of merit sources were selected,  the administrator did not request for an application from those that we're selected,  I don't know if they indicates interest to be chosen in the first place and we also know that many of those who have indicated interest since then have not received the attention of the admin in that regards.

Please correct me if I am wrong by the above statement and I will gladly learn from you,  like I said I will support you and any other Nigerian who have,  and will indicate interest in becoming our first local board merit source.

There's nothing to get Surprised at here, @Wiwo. I believe you guys are all Nigerians, and most of you have love for one another. You will probably want your friends, brothers, or sisters to enjoy the privilege you are enjoying with
 Bitcoin investment, and if you luckily have a registered account on the forum and manage to attain a high rank, your comments get rewarded with some SATs. So, it's very obvious that you can basically refer someone to the forum, and before then, you might have even educated the person about most things on the forum.

The OP could be a real-life friend to anyone on this forum or this local board, and if the person who refers the OP to this forum is of high rank, the OP should know more about the forum.

In your case, you came here on you own, that's why it took you that long to know everything you now know.

My own na question I wan ask. How Theymos go fit understand wetin wey dey talk for here base on say na pidgin we dey use dey discuss this matter? 

This is not the main discussion board for the merit source application, @Charles-Tim already created an application thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5360200.0 on Meta board where such discussion and application is been made, the first application he made was the general board application to be a merit source, later he bumped the thread to add up his application to apply for local board merit source as well which you could see towards the last page of the thread, he also would have PM Theymos maybe (am not sure) about his application thread, on Meta board, Theymos take time to see into threads that deals with the forum discussion whenever he's chanced, there are many other applications as well directed to him in such manners whereby members applied to be a merit source.

For the local board merit source application, this is the post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5360200.msg62595307#msg62595307

People can also see it on the link on the OP of the thread which you pasted its link, that I quote.

Theymos knows about this.

Indeed in need.
I have been so much indebted about how this Merits goes, if really Merited by quality posts Or if it is a trade by barter meriting system? because consciously I have read across lot of posts that I think it deserves merit (s) yet doesn't acquire it. I am not on the emphasis of my own posts deserving merits but yet it doesn't acquire it too for I believe everyone is on the side target of the best out of other posts all to a goal of attract merits and providing quality educational informations and updates.

I am yet building my account and if I have got more merits to credit out, I would gladly do it to those quality and  creative posts I have been coming across on believing they deserves Merits award.

Otherwise, please to the cyptoprenuerBrainboss and other bosses of whom it may concern, do us well about this Meriting system. Thank you.

I like wetin you talk and as I read the comments, e show say na ome belle one mind wey we get for this matter. Na inside last week wey I get notification on top Charles request for merit source. I been think day na even new application, wetin shock me be say na since like 2021 wey him don drop the application. My question be say
- how long e supposed take for the application to get approved?
- for oda country local board wey get merits sources e get any special thing Dem do aside dropping application before Dem get approval?

I applied some weeks or so after theymos had selected new merit sources at the time and he has not selected any merit source up till now after then.

Some applied but it took time before theymos make them to become merit sources. Before such local board was given merit source, they can report unmerited posts here: [self-moderated] Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5093271.0)

That mean hope still dey be that. I pray make him consider your application when he wan approve new sources. But e get how you go know if him decline application?

E don tey wey we deserve another merit source for this our board and also moderator too. Plenty activities dey go on for this our cabal compare to some other local board.

The only time you can know is when he choose new sources. Definitely that means he declined the merit source application of the people not choosen.

How many merit source we even get for this Naija board? Me I no even know like 2 self only Mr BRAINBOSS nai I know as one but make una no vex oh , if una know any other person make una update me, becos from OP topic him say Naija board needs More merit source like we get plenty here or wetin?
How many do we have here already?

God help let Theymos approve Mr Charles application...

Make I divert small to answer your comment.
Make in no lie for you my brother the forum na very big place and you no go fit read everything wey dey inside but you fit keep track of some discussion from people wey you see as mentor to you by tracking their posts for telegram Bitcointalk notifier, wey go send you message when once this brother them post so you fit learn from their quality posts.


Thank you Dr.Bitcoin_strange na my mind nai you talk so

In respect to your question wey you just ask, I go like let you know say for our local board, na only one merit source we get, that is, in the person of "CryptoprenuarBrainboss" and nobody else, and our board dey really lack merit, which is while "Charles Tim" dey apply for am, to see if he could be granted his request, as eh for really go well for the growth of this our local board.


But only of you could read, you go notice all you need to know, has already been answer.

Bump.

This year don really favour the Nigerian local board, from @theymos giving us local board Moderator to having a new merit source, this na better achievement and I sincerely believe say we deserve am because for stats e don show say Nigerians na one of the most outstanding local board for the forum. All these na wetin we don dey wait on and I dey greatfull say at last @theymos give us listening ears. Congrats to our own @igebotz for becoming a merit source adding to @CryptopreneurBrainboss.

If I remember vividly, I applied for local board merit source before igebotz but theymos turned blind eyes on my request after sending him several personal messages. I expected to be a merit source for Nigerians as I read and post very well on the board but theymos failed to understand. I did not like how theymos did it. It would have been better if igebotz becomes moderator which I did not messaged theymos about at all of becoming. I hate this his recent decision, not for what he did for igebotz but because he did not make me a merit source. It is just a forum as some people call it but that is my mind.

Of a truth Theymos try as him give us new moderator and he is really disposing his duty very well but even though say Theymos also add am among the merit sources to make Nigerian local board to have 2 merit sources but the allocation of merit wey them get they very small when we compare am with how other merit sources allocations be but that not withstanding, our people say person wey kill goat for you thank  am so that next time him fit kill cow for you so na good achievement wey we don get for our local board this year and from all indications show say the new moderator wey be @Igebotz dey circulate the sendable merits without being biased and him they award am to quality posters.

I understand your points being made, I don't think he doesn't see you fit to becoming a merit source but probably he just wanted to add an extra features to @igebotz as a moderator but that doesn't limit making you one of the merit source in this local board. Every user in the forum knows your competency and credibility dealing with quality comments/topics and activeness in this board, I believe you are not out of the list, maybe we just need to wait on for a little while.

In a way he knows what his doing, he probably doesn't want to just spread a lot of merit in here, so he decided to limit it so we can continue to be outstanding and more productive in the forum like we have been. It is a good approach but definitely in a few time he would begin to see the need of allocating more merits to our merit sources and even adding another merit source for this local board.

No be lie you talk sha, me I like the way Theymos dey do things because him dey always surprise people, no be dat time wey una dey find something wey him dey grant am but na when Una no expect am naim him dey do am so make we calm down as e be say we don dey get tins wey we need for our local board small small, no be wetin to rush at all because e get how him go do something now e go come be like say him dey incompetent and for me the two merit sources wey dey on board now Sabi circulate merit for the local board so as time goes on Theymos fit still include another merit source may be @Charles-tim fit be the next or him increase the merit allocation for the merit sources wey dey already.

Our local board don get good shape like this o and I thank the new moderator @Igebotz for arranging the local board, at least the local board dey presentable and well organized now.

There are some credible people over here whom I think can also handle merits source and again after having achieve our childboard it will be nice there's a little space overtime considering how they have been pushing so hard for theymos to get this childboard approved as well as our mod who is active making sure this whole board are in safe condition. With time as the local board keep getting more attention and new user coming up we could either asked theymos for increase in our previous allocation of add more source such as Charles-Tim, Upgrade001 some other people like Mpamaegbu and Coyster because I know there is no enough merits circulation.

Na true you talk so, me self, e don tey wey I get merit from this local board, I no know whether na because say merit source no plenty of na whether na because person never write wetin go make them merit because I dey hardly see merit sources dey give merit for here, so with the due respect, I support op for wetin e talk concerning merit sources for this Naija board.
