Have you try downloading the blockchain and bootstrap the client with it, if you worry about any malicious code or anything that comes with the blockchain download just use it as trial system to make sure your client is able to sync using your current network and computer system.

Merit system should eliminate that all, if it fails nothing will do, adding more and more system is not wise things to do. not everyone meriting now is complying to the rules, there is so many cases of abuses, demerit will also be the same, people will demerit others they don't like for no reason.

If it implemented probably your post will be demerited to death first and then you become the first to open a topic at first opportunity to ask for it to be removed, and please remember the more you change the software, the more likely you introduce bugs, security holes, complexity to the system can lead to exposed vulnerability or maybe heavy load that takes up server resources.

You need to be at least Jr. Member to be able to wear signature but usually bounty program only accept Member level to participate in their signature campaign

Just use it as complimentary tools to the primary tools (SMF Preview Editor), I use 2-3 different tools to create screenshot, edit image and uploading before but once I have one tools that can do all that in one shot I use it, in this case the software don't have capability to render table so its not much usable for complex signature with clickable text and image but simple image would be easy

sometime it is enviable to see someone who barely can differentiate between walking stick and blockchain can afford to have huge ignore list.

You don't have sMerit yet

You need 30 post and wait for at least 1.5 months (3 period x 14 days = 42 days)

To make job easier without having to use Bitcointalk Preview Editor you can use this offline BBCode editor, it can render the image in almost realtime making it easy and faster to create the image from the block character.

Caution: not all bbcode work with SMF will render the same in the software, so make sure you still have SMF to make final adjustment, table tag is not working

There is another thread of this kind of guide and they share the pixelate tool there, visit the thread here
You can visit the link directly here ANSI Art Converter

Yes you have to wait for the fixed 2 week period, so approximately 6 weeks after you open an account you will reach Jr. Member if you post daily at least 1 post, or if you at least already have posted 29 post prior to reaching the fixed date the 2 week period takes place, and you just post 1 more post during the next 2 week period you will be promoted to the Jr. Member rank

To reach Member rank it takes about 2.5 month & need Minimum Activity 60 & also need Minimum Merit 10

That most likely just alt account they use to post the bounty pages, they have to be very knowledgeable about cryptocurrency and also how this forum posting works to be able to run bounty campaign, there is so much of this forum intricacies you need to know ahead before running such campaign.

Simple explanation of how Activity works

Copied and slightly modified for clarity from table of the activity periods and time it will take you to achieve each rank written by: hilariousandco

The way activity is calculated is complicated to understand, but simply put you can only get 14 activity points every (two week) 14 days period. This is basically all you need to know but I will explain the intricacies and technicalities of the system below to avoid any confusion:

• You can only get 14 activity points every fortnightly period.
• The fortnightly periods are fixed and do not start when you sign up.
  
• A list of all the dates of the activity periods can be found on this spreadsheet (credit goes to jambola2 for compiling it).
  
• You can technically get more than 14 activity in two weeks if you sign up between periods.
  
• You only need to make at least one post in each activity period to be able to collect the activity at a later date. For instance, you could make one post in three different periods and you would then have 3 posts and 3 activity, but a potential activity of 42. Once you made the 42 posts you would then have 42 activity but no more. If you made one post in 35 different periods you would then have 35 posts and 35 activity but a potential activity of 480. That means you would be a Junior Member but if you made the full 480 posts you would instantly become a Hero Member.
  
• If your post count eclipses your activity by 14 or more then you will only need to make one post in the new period to get the full 14 activity. For instance, your post count is 200 but your activity is only 28. To get another 14 activity you will only need to make one post in the new period and you will then have a total of 42 activity.
  

Short version of Activity FAQ

Can I get more than 14 activity in two week period?

No. However, you can technically get more than 14 activity in a fortnight if you sign up in between periods, but you can't get more than 14 activity in a fortnightly period. For instance, if the period starts on a Wednesday and you sign up on Tuesday you can get 14 points on Tuesday and another 14 on Wednesday providing the period has started. You will then have 28 activity points but won't be able to get any more until two weeks' time when the new period starts.

The actual Activity calculation

There is lots of people at Indonesian board who can give Merit, just post quality posting at Indonesian board, look at post that received lots of Merit and then try do the same thing, for example create guide, chart or anything that can help others.
Ramai teman yang bisa bagi Merit di board Indonesia jadi buat posting yang kualitas di board Indonesia, cuba lihatin posting yang dapat banyak Merit dan ikuti saja, sebagai contoh buatkan panduan, carta atau apa-apa saja yang bisa bantu kawan-kawan lain.
