Bitcoin Forum

What is the nature of the forum? Is the quality post the most important? In my opinion, if a forum is full of quality posts, then it becomes a scientific journal. The forum I like is an easy discussion environment.

Having quality posts doesn't necessarily mean the post has to be full of technical terminologies. Having quality posts simply mean that the posts has to be constructive, and has to contribute to the topic, not just posts for the sake of earning post count for bounties. Guess what? You're actually a good example for this:

Ok, maybe you are right.

I think the forum is a place to learn and exchange information in order to learn from each other, I think bitcointalk still exist and now many quality posts so this can be used as a scientific journal about cryptocurrency technology.

the bitcointalk forum is still active today, as there are so many people who want to learn in this forum because the bitcointalk forum is where we learn and expose our opinions about what has happened to this forum. so we should make good use of bitcointalk forums.

I agree with you, so I want to give a little info, a quality post is a real post, not random.
in bitcointalk a lot of post-originally they make post not to discuss but because of demands from SigCamp

Nature of a forum? its a community so obviously we exchange ideas here, ask questions etc, like a public discussions. But it the last couple of years, this community suddenly turns into a circus as a lot of people joining here for Signature Campaigns. Post doesn't necessarily long, even one line is good. What's being frowned is one liner like "good project, sir", contributing nothing to the discussions.

Bitcointalk will never lost since it will many beginner's guide helps new comer to understand crypto currency. I remember when I am new and I feel lost but thanks to bitcointalk forum many guides help me to have smooth sailing in crypto.

I have been visiting this forum on a regular basis and I have seen posts with prediction and mathematical explanations but those are just hard work of people who are trying to contribute to the community. There are many posts regarding people sharing their investment strategies which has helped a lot of newbies here. You can find plenty of easy going discussions too, people participate on them too.

Forum is trying its best to regulate the kind of messages people write. Posts needs to be regulated so people will not spam discussions with unnecessary messages which has no meaningful contributions to various topics.

everyone would like everything that is easy to understand, the definition of quality posts here I think you are too far interpreted.
I think what quality posts mean is posts that can give you information about the market situation, the ICO, exchanging opinions about trading strategies. and much more.
but did you read the discussion that was done in the economic section? please check, there you will only find nonsense not a useful discussion at all.
many shitposter are merely pursuing profits without thinking of what he posts helpful or not.
if there is no shitposter rank I have now risen to full member.
and 1 again, I strongly support the system that runs the forum today, reducing the number of shitposter.

There has been a lot of quality posts in the forum on a regular basis. Most of them are free flowing coversation whereas there are some analysis and strategy related posts which has helped the newcomers in a lot other ways. The forum is dedicated towards the community so that all members get a chance to flourish on the market.

I really agree with what you are saying. Quality post is not about the high and difficult jargons and terms but the ability to analyze and constructively comment on issues on board and bring out meaning thoughts which is of good help to the people on the forum.

Quality and complexity of understanding are different things. Scientists sitting in technological discussion and do not bother me, because I'm sitting in other boards.

Bitcoin talk is the source of my extra earning because I am.using it for bounties . I have been in bitcointalk for a year. I Don't think it will be lost but there were also posts that are like spamming but the moderators and admins are very active to check and delete those posts. So bitcointalk is still alive and is very informative.

Here in bitcointalk everything or all about cryptocurrency including the major topic was bitcoin that need a additional knowledge and how to invest and trade, mining is in here at the forum and this is one who can help us about cryptocurrency specially those newbie so that i dont think if bitcointalk well be gone soon and many of the best quality post are aslo here to discuss properly about cryptocurrency.

Bitcointalk is now increasingly tightened with additional rules, to increase rank alone requires a high quality post so that waiting to be given merit with a lot of people. I prefer the former bitcointalk :) :) :)

Forum is intended for sharing vital information to others especially on crypto topics or projects, not just a simple conversation that leads to spam to others but a constructive and meaningful posts that can give an idea or answer to the posted topic above.

Even if it looks like a scientific forum is that such a bad thing?  Well I come here to leadn most times even though i just started writing. Most of my knowledge about crypto were learnt from here. Besides there are different fun boards too.

Nope bitcointalk obviously stay strong institutions as online fundamental education of the people need to learn the cryptocurrency importance guideline for who want to adopt crypto as currency.
Bitcointalk are important because without this bitcoin and the whole cryptocurrency aren't popular as of now.
And hoping from all member herein forum make quality and useful post to help our newcomers.

Maybe the quality means you must post things that have benefits for the readers, not posting only the spam posts.
No need to post like scientific journal, you can just post a tips, info, news, or even a question but it has benefits to community here in bitcointalk.

bitcointalk is currently a lot of change from the many rules and especially Merit rules, and that's what makes the difficulty in ranking increases that make bitcointalk less comfortable.

I think forums are places to exchange and learn. Simply because there are a lot of people whose understanding of Crypto is different. You can not ask the Newbie to have quality items, they are here to learn that

I think so. The forum is a place to learn and exchange experiences. I have very little experience in the crypto market so I usually go to forums to learn more experienced people.

This forum is really helpful specially when you are starting in crypto, this forum is full of people with have very broad knowledge about cryptocurrencies. Bitcointalk forum will never get lost, this is a great source for learning crypto.

Many member's are here like you , so how we can expect quality post? Did you know difference between spam , quality post, High quality post , useful post ? I don't think so. I wasn't think to reply but I see your post on top other people reply. You just made a single thread in English. But that post is complain about quality post and only 1.5 line with no better explanation. I think this post only for increase spam. So just think to put you ignore list.

Quality i believe is very important not in the sense of having so complicated terms in there but having some sense in it. For example is a newbie asking for the cuurent value of bitcoin which can be easily searched through google.
Replies in posts actually are easy to understand since they are like everybody of us here making there statements simple.

I think that the purpose of this forum is to talk about the topic of crypto currency, discuss news about the crypto currency about its main problems and ways to eliminate them, promote the popularity of crypto currency and further its introduction into our life. That everyone who comes to this forum, could find for themselves a lot of useful information about the nature and functions of the crypto currency, so that an outsider could find here full and objective information about the crypto currency and its advantages over the rest of the currency.

The forum is designed to share information with others, especially on topics or cryptos projects, not just a conversation but a constructive and meaningful article. Give the idea or answer to the topic posted above.

Even i use to think in the same way because the quality of this forum is decreasing day by day as there is no new good engagement is seen among the forum as majority of people are here to make money and not to learn or innovate some new ideas. Crypto trading is really a big area of investment for current and upcoming years and so we should maintain the forum quality by posting some good quality posts and not by junk posts or irrelevant topic.

Absolutely, this forum is very useful to everyone especially to who new in the crypto I myself I used this as a manual in bitcoin and cryptocurrency

possibly,but that is a negative perspective imo. I would rather the forum be a place of information sourcing than a wall of unmoderated shitposts. There is somewhere on this forum for everyone from beginners to experts to happily exchange info and experience. Why would you want anything else?

You know having quality posts doesn't necessarily means that you cannot have fun and enjoy talking or discussing also for all these things we do that different sections.
Having quality posts means Don't post things that are irrelevant and short like some people out there you just post :- " yes "
Well you know this is something that they are trying to prevent, you should understand that it depends which section you are posting under, if it's the others board then you can literally post anything.
I have seen people posting things so bad about the staff members literally ,they say how some staff members are married and how they should be kicked out of staff and you know what ? It never gets deleted too thus you know if that is not getting deleted you might as be assured that you can post anything good or anything you want discussion on.
It's just a rule to improve the quality of posts in certain sections that are seen the hub of posting for signature Campaigns, so that a professional environment can be maintained.

I am sorry to say but there are too many rules. One thing is merit (a research paper itself) user are asking for merit goal has become merit.

In a thread like what is bitcoin thousands are replies there. because every one wanna make money here. Bitcointalk wants user to stay with rules on the other hand they can sell accounts. :S

This forum is a treasure trove of information. The definition of a treasure trove is a collection or store of valuable or delightful things. Just take some time and look at the quality of some threads and post on this forum and you will see that it is a one-stop solution for most of your questions on Bitcoin and also Alt coins.

This forum even include original posts from the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. In many ways this forum is more like a time capsule.  ;D

to be considered as a 'scientific journal' you have to maintain every post on it and it has to comply with specific rules ,that's not the case here .
this forum is more like a community that assemble people who are interested in blockchain technology in general .you can't force anyone to make wuality posts that's why moderators make "merit system".

Bitcoin talk never be lost...

Well, Bitcointalk is now used by many bitcoin users to earn money. There are lots of signature and bounty campaigns that ables the users and the members to have bitcoins and altcoins by posting and answering questions and opinions here in the forum. Bitcointalk is not lost, it is still alive. Just calm down and have a rest.

I don't think bitcointalk is lost. Still it is one of the best Bitcoin forum with quality posts and with zero spamming.

Yeah bitcointalk is still alive and kicking. This is one of my favorite forum for cryptocurrency. This will help me to decide or think whenever decisions to be made by reading some informative information in the forum. However, there are new forum also that has the capacity to create a simple, fast and easy discussion for cryptocurrency.

Yes, I agree with you bitcointalk is still there and now the quality of posts is much better, because with a lot of quality posts it will definitely make the bitcointalk forum better, and be a great place to share information and learn from each other.

Of course, who wants to read a nonsense posts? Everybody here wants to learn and some want to share their expertice. So I think this forum is helpful and its very helpful if the posts are informative.

The forum has been so helpful for someone to learn new things, its good the mod delete useless post to reduce the spam some people post just because of signatures they are doing.

I understand that the nature of the forum where information is shared may be right or wrong. Everyone's job is to learn the right thing and find the wrong thing to make the article quality. I feel the forum is a place to store a lot of information for new people.

Bitcointalk forums are where we can exchange ideas and we can also make it a place for us to continue to know about cryptocurrenci because joining this forum will add a lot of insight in my opinion, hopefully in the future this forum will continue to be victorious and developing and more interested people will be interested with the Bitcointalk forum

forum i think is a place where we can get any information about cryptocurrency , sharing some ideas, discussing  topic that are related to crypto and strategies on how to earn btc through this forum.

I don't think it would be happens at all, well if it could then I don't think any single ICO will success, because what all I know when we joined the bitcointalk thats mean some of us joineing bounty campaign either and of course we promote their bussiness companys and ICO as well. So for me bitcointalk was really important.

Bitcointalk is still been in progress , we need them to gather all informations about bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies to be used as a tool for everryone’s success. Sometimes we need good sources to support our answers that will be more acceptable to the forum. Somehow, i had rather prefer a summarized shortened and detaiiled information  so that everybody can easily understands  the context of the topic. Forum is where we gonna share ideas and opinions , it might be a perfect one or not.

 Bitcoin talk forum is a venue where we can discussed topic as posted on the wall, with our opinion, sharing information, some give suggestion and a lot more. We should respect everyone opinion in this site, yet there some people here posted irrelevant topic,very negative about Bitcoin, and it seems they are just posting to comply with the requirement for their Bounty campaign. Let's try to be more informative than destructive, opinionated on our post.

Bitcointalk will never be muted. But if they touch the law, they may be asked to suspend the site. Bitcointalk is a forum that can help newbies get to know more about bitcoin in general and cryptocurrency in general.

Basically I think this forum is a helping hand for knowing something new about crypto. Here each other can help by their information and experience.

It is okay to post even not quality post but relates to the topic and high number characters of posts doesn't mean that post are quality post this forum needs an senseful replies not replies that doesn't have a sense, Maybe campaign managers putting a rules that you need to post a high characters replies on every threads to avoid spamming and you need to make an effort and mind for every posts, Bitcointalk moderators deleting posts only that not regards to the topic of the thread.

It is not a scientific forum as there need not be posted in scientific figures or facts. But we need to understand that our posts and comments should be constructive, efficient and easy to read and that should be a discussion which benefits everyone. Keeping that in mind, we can discuss very freely here.

I think bitcoin forum is a platform where people share there thought , query, views etc. Here different types of people comment here some of them are new comer , some of are experienced. So here we find lot of information some are informative some are wrong. I think it’s a open forum so you can get lot of information, you have to justify whether its true or not.

I very much agree with the reply from above. Bitcointalk is still the best forum with many quality posts and in no way its anything close to a scientific journal. It just has the right balance, I think which is why in my opinion its the best crypto forum.

I have been here for almost a year only but the true nature of this forum has been ruined by those spammers and shitposters. In reality, we know that forum is a place for discussions and place where we can learn. I don't say that Bitcointalk's nature has been lost already. Its just ruined because of this stupid spammers who post nonsense and useless posts in this forum.

I think quality doesn't necessary mean a lot of technical or scientific terms. It's more important that threads here are constructive and useful and that people can inform themselves. Or at least to have fun.  ;)
But posting just to have something written no matter the meaning isn't the best option.

You sure seem to be contributing with quality topics and english..oh wait... ::) ::)

I think this forum is open for everyone.  Here people comment according to their understanding.  So I think this forum has all types of post normal post also informative post. I think those all are important for investors.

In deeper sense, having quality post doesn't really mean as being able to state something differently that it seems unique for you as you've never heard such. For me, it was all about being conscious and respectful on whatever we tend to say within the organization.

Bitcointalk is more benificial for new crypto peole. which are interest to invest here. I think it is long live because it is more reliable and frutful for crypto people. Here you can get more information at a time.

Obviously this forum is still active. This is the place where all can exchange or share information with others. For being quality post it doesn’t need to be always technical, it can be constructive too.

Ironically, there's a huge amount of shitposts in this thread.

I clicked "Ignore" about 40 times so far. Who wants to be next?

Yeah this forum is still alive. It is a platform where not only experts exist, so many newcomer are there. They ask questions about many things. So it can not be the characteristics of a quality post that it has to be technical always.

This forum is always helpful for newbies. It is a place for public discussions. All can find many information about the crypto world and still getting. So it’s still exists.

Maintaining quality doesn't mean that the posts will be hard to understand or there will be some sort communication problems. Qualityless posts are often irritating.

The forum isn't purely based on formality, it is not purely a journal, as other people have the freedom to express themselves freely, giving out information to each other, helping out and basiclly helping these newbies get a wider understanding on how crypto works, it's actually a library that will surely help out newbies and give prior knowledge tto those who are having a hard time understanding cryptocurrency.

Bitcointalk will not be lost because it is a place to share vital information to others especially on crypto topics or projects. It is a need for everyone.

then what do you plan? educating and posting what you need in addition to your posts is also less useful and just asking. should if you have thoughts about this you also have to find ways to build quality posts even more so in the knowledge of technology and crypto.

The Bitcointalk becomes active because many people develop the knowledge here. Hence it is still exist today. All we have to do here is to exchange knowledge and opinions. To get the idea of someone else who does not know about crypto currency.

Bitcointalk will not be lost anymore because of the million people who trust on it, they will really support bitcoin from what struggle they will have now. Even bitcoin will have a low value from now I know it will have more solutions and bitcointalk will have more projects to share.

Here people share experience and knowledge, someone has the ability to write a quality post, and someone is simply not possible..

We all like the BTT forum, but now it seems that the forum is not very active. There are often a lot of junk posts in some of the sub forums. I think this may be related to the downturn in the market. With the recovery of the market, our forum will rejuvenate.

I think qualityless posts shouldn’t be in the forum. I seen many meaningless posts regularly and many of them are posted for scamming.

I think this forum is still active. I consider this platform for exchanging or sharing info with others. Posts/articles does not always have to be full of technologies and other stuff. It can be constructive too.

I always find this forum as a platform of public discussion and when I was a newbie and so much confused about the entire crypto this place actually helped a lot back then for understanding so many small things related crypto.

Bitcoin forum is very beneficial for the crypto beginners as they get the chance to know about various opinions and thoughts related to crypto from this community. It is our duty to make the best use of this forum.

Yes, you are right.
The forum is where everyone provides good benefits. Because with the forum we can discuss to solve a problem. Discuss about various kinds of future information.

This forum is made for bitcoin talk. But the post about that must be qualitiful ann constructive and the bitcoin talk is not lost because newbies are always getting guidance by this forum which is beneficial.

Bitcoin talk is not lost and here many of us get helpful informations every moment. Always quality post is not needed but the post have to contribute proper guidance or info or any questions can be asked.

Yes, this is not a Wikipedia. I support you opinion 100%, those discussions are positive, because you can see the opinions and thoughts of real living people with their own experience, if you know, what I mean.

No I don't see anything like this they were very active at the forum , as long as the bitcoin is in the market it is obvious that bitcointalker will be also here,  and she per the bitcoin condition in the market I don't think bitcoin will disepare over a night.

Talking about quality post is based on how bitcointalk member forum are creating great and good quality topic when start discussion, many member are created bad and never informative topic and make moderator forum have deleted their topic, start for making good and have quality topic to start discussion for all of bitcointalk forum member.

I think the forum is a place to learn and exchange information in order to learn from each other

The problem is most newbies to members don't care about learning anything. They care about posting as many times as they can to meet bounty requirements. That's clearly evident by the posts in this very thread. They just keep reguritating the same opinion over and over. They don't care about getting or providing information. They just want their useless shit tokens, which they won't even get if their bounty was a scam to begin with, and there's a 50% chance that it was.

The mindless greed and laziness of the "easy money" crowd has taken over this forum.

Its gone from a hotbed of innovation to a pathetic exhibition of humanity.

Here's a few example posts that fit into the "why bother?" category. These people typed words but didn't actually say anything:

Thanks for clarifying the gender of crypto and this forum.

Now let us discuss what OP asked. Here is what I fee about the current state of the forum.

1) Merit system has increased the quality of posts in some sections. There are some bad effects as well but they should fade with time.

2) Signature campaigns have reduced (may be because of less demand for crypto).

3) Moderation is currently quicker than what it was when I joined.

Look at this shit:


This thread is full of shitposts that say absolutely nothing, by members who would never normally visit Meta and are only doing so because the title is a question that only requires a one-line shitpost--AND they're probably trying to get merits.

But the above 3 members are no doubt alt accounts, and to have all 3 post in the same thread is ridiculous spam.

I haven't read all the posts in this thread, but has anyone mentioned that the forum has more than one board in a variety of categories. This means that it is a place for education, discussion and help.

I agree that it has evolved,and it may be time for some minor changes. One that I would suggest is the creation of a crypto discussion board in the beginners section. This would allow the mods to restrict the Bitcoin discussion board to Bitcoin. Bitcoin use is changing, and it is becoming a source of wealth rather than a payment vehicle. This means that a whole new class of user is joining the Bitcoin economy, and they won't be interested in scammy temporary ICOs and bounty spamming.

Yeah, this has been suggested recently. I would say creating a newbie board within the altcoin section would be of great benefit for organizing that hell hole. Especially, Altcoin Discussion.

One reason why the forum needs to have a quality discussion is for people to learn what is shared here. If you can just read one word replies from the forum, the users here will just kept clicking over hundreds of pages with those replies and discussions end up without substance. Also it has to have good discussions  and message that is understandable and unique for the search engine. These threads here are indexed by google and are read by investors, if investors find out there are just bunch of uneducated users, they will just laugh at the community as we don't want that.

there a re a lot of poster especially those who are spamming for there  bounties. that make the thread dirty and sometimes lead to misunderstanding for those users who is using this thread as there learning field on how to became knowledgeable in this kind of industry or kind of work.

Any post that adds some value to the users should be considered as a quality post. Personally I find it difficult to decipher posts with huge jargons and terminologies. Don't get offended by someone's opinion as everybody has got the right to express her feelings.

Him/Her/Their feelings... Maximum number of threads are duplicate mega, 25+ pages, same here posted, same there on multiples, sheeps going to herd and expressing repetitive baa ba, would your opinionated value matters in such a thread, nope, baa ba would get better of it.

There are a good number of sections where one could express without it getting drowned in baa ba.

The forum gives easy money and freedom, but when taking easy for granted is where freedom ends.

Haha, jargon is a heavy word. As far as you don't want to get laid an English speaking woman with only heavy-hitting words, standard English would do.

Not lost, forum is working on getting rid of baa ba, slow, but not easy.

I have been visiting this forum on a regular basis and I have seen posts with prediction and mathematical explanations but those are just hard work of people who are trying to contribute to the community. There are many posts regarding people sharing their investment strategies which has helped a lot of newbies here. You can find plenty of easy going discussions too, people participate on them too.

Quality posts needed only in the case when you participate in a campaign or doing other kind of promotional activity here and it should be logical to everyone.

@lovebtc998,

"What is the nature of the forum?.... The forum I like is an easy discussion environment......"

it all depend's on what you mean by the term easy discussion enviroment.

This forum is the #1 forum on bitcoin niche that gives you 100% full liberty to learn,share yr knowledge about crypt-to currency.  in additional, both new and old member's are given full priviledges to promote product's & services within the marketplace.

How else could a forum be a easy discussion enviroment than this! just like the platform in which this forum was built suggested "SIMPLE MACHINE"


NOte : this forum included rating and feedback(s) system to warn other's of dubious and unethnical practice by some cruel member's. Unfornately, most  senior member's sometime's  abuse this priviledges




Thanks

There has been a lot of quality posts in the forum on a regular basis. Most of them are free flowing coversation whereas there are some analysis and strategy related posts which has helped the newcomers in a lot other ways. The forum is dedicated towards the community so that all members get a chance to flourish on the market.

I think all constructive types of posts should be welcomed in the community. The easy discussion posts are also there for the experienced users to share their experiences and views and the critical predictions and mathemetical posts are very useful for the users who are new to the community. It helps them to learn more and get the courage to make their first move.

I think bitcoin is a place to find information about anything and the forum is also a place to exchange ideas

The forum is mostly about discussions on bitcoin. But it's quite liberal here. Depending on what you want to read or contribute, you consciously or inadvertently get stuck to a/some particular section(s). There is everything about the world being discussed in one section or the other.

Quality  post are very important but I believe  that the popularity  of the forum is not based on that. Bitcointalk is a respected in a cryptocurrency community, bitcointalk  is like a Google for cyptocurrency that provide the information  of the token and how reliable it is.
