101  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Bounties (Altcoins) / Re: [BOUNTY] OTPPAY - BOUNTY & AIRDROP = 12 MILLION TOKENS on: June 10, 2018, 01:48:10 PM
I have heard from DEV OTPPAY they say that tokens for bounty will be distributed around the month of August
August is pretty far. If token is distributed in August, when will it be listed in exchange? But then, how do we verify you heard from Developer?

well, I don't think that people will allow you to be an escrow if you don't have trust.
Proving yourself trustworthy in this virtual environment is truly a point to earn trust. The question will be, where do one start from to be an escrow?
103  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Why do altcoins follow bitcoin? on: June 10, 2018, 07:06:52 AM
I have been observing this same trend and asking myself same question. But see what I think.
At present, everything relating to cryptocurrency and blockchian is tied to bitcoin. Therefore what affects bitcoin will definitely affect other coins.
Like it or not, there is still FUD in everyone in this space. And since bitcoin is the rallying point, any drop or rise in bitcoin sends signals to other coins.
I Also observed that the investors of bitcoin and alt coins are the same persons. Everyone holding altcoin most likely holds bitcoin too. So any impression about bitcoin is almost instantly transferred to other coins.
104  Economy / Economics / Re: Factors that affects the value of bitcoin... on: June 09, 2018, 03:50:08 PM
Bitcoin as a concept was intended to cause disruption in the system. Riding on the disruptive technology called blockchian. So the technology can affect the value of bitcoin. For example, the advent of ethereum and it's blockchian has affected bitcoin to some extent because some altcions that solve problems hitherto will be solved by bitcoin.

The media has a big influence on the value of bitcoin. A single news item can turn the value bitcoin for good or bad, depending on the news. So many around the world withdrew from investing in bitcoin dew to media reports that Chinese plan to ban bitcoin.

Players in the bitcoin ecosystem influences the value of bitcoin. Miners, users and developers have a measure of influence on bitcoin.

105  Other / Meta / Re: How can I overcome the merit barrier? on: June 07, 2018, 09:25:04 PM
So I am asking, can such members share their knowledge here?
Sure, I can share my knowledge.  Most users who have yet to rank up since the start of the merit system are probably either posting idiotic trash that no one cares to read, OR they're posting where no one will ever read it, i.e., in Bitcoin Discussion.  Those are two surefire ways of never earning any merit, and only the latter is a barrier that most people have much control over.  I have not checked your posts, but if you're posting in Bitcoin/Altcoin Discussion or Economics, it's a safe assumption that anything you write is immediately going to be in a 2^21-layer sandwich of shitposts, and even if your post is decent, there's going to be nobody with patience enough to find it. 

Starting threads about how difficult earning merits is, is only going to get you put on some people's ignore lists that you'd probably wish you weren't on.  Yes it's hard to earn them, but it's supposed to be that way.  You can still contribute normally, and the only thing you're missing out on--as Vod has pointed out--is higher sig campaign earnings.  Nobody is going to shed a tear over that.

I think,there's no other way of getting merits,but we should make a one constructive post,and be appreciated by the others. We need to obey and support the rules of this forum.
Here's another cookie-cutter piece of slop for the ignore list.  I have a strong sense that people who write stuff like the above are just saying words they think merit-givers want to hear--and missing the spirit of things entirely.
Thanks for your contribution. I have noted a key factor which I will try to work on. That is, not sandwiching my post.
106  Other / Meta / Re: How can I overcome the merit barrier? on: June 07, 2018, 09:19:11 PM
But looking at my activity points and where my rank still is, makes me understand why so many are against the merit system. I, though, still support the merit system.

People are against the merit system because it makes it harder for them to level up.  People want to level up to make money posting garage in signature campaigns.

That's not what this forum is meant for.   You are unhappy because you want something that doesn't exist.  :/
I have observed that there are members who knows how to construct quality posts. I also noted that there are those who post some quality reviews. Such posts give them merits. Since the platform is a learning one, I believe there should be willing members, especially those who gets merits easily to share their experiences so that I and others can learn, improve in our posts and contributions and likewise earn merit.

I am a happy person. Not as you think.

What are your merits exactly? What have you done to improve this forum? Harassing and abusing other members?

I've heard you keep a scammers list, is it legit or is it just the list of the users you don't like?

You and your clique is what this forum is meant for?
I did not put up this post as an avenue for attack. Please refrain from such. I need ideas, view points and suggestions that could make me and others improve in the quality of my posts so that I can attract merit.
108  Economy / Reputation / Re: Merit Farming on: June 06, 2018, 09:45:13 PM
This is incredible. 70 merits from a single person! It is a clear case of cheating. But what happened after the recipient pleaded for leniency? Was it granted?
109  Other / Meta / How can I overcome the merit barrier? on: June 06, 2018, 09:29:58 PM
The introduction of the merit system has been applauded by many. Others too have spoken against it. I have been on the side of the merit system.

But looking at my activity points and where my rank still is, makes me understand why so many are against the merit system. I, though, still support the merit system.

There are those whom it seems know the key to earning merits. So I am asking, can such members share their knowledge here?
110  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Before Investing in Cryptocurrencies on: June 06, 2018, 09:11:57 PM
It is quite a remarkable advice. Short, and straight to the point. You are good to go if you apply it.
111  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What service missing in cryptoworld? on: June 06, 2018, 07:59:49 PM
There is a crypto for grocery, but I have not seen one dedicated to vegetables.
112  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto currency in five years! on: June 05, 2018, 07:44:52 PM
Obviously, the transition is unstoppable. I believe five years is a long time. The only hindrance will be access to internet. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies adoption is fast pacing as the day goes by.
113  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: why some ico failed on: June 05, 2018, 02:40:07 AM
The crypto world is maturing. There is future in this thing so investors are more wiser now. If there is no proven and working concept behind the project, it will fail. Even when you have a working concept but you cannot put it clearly in the WP, people cannot communicate with you so ICO will fail.
114  Other / Meta / Re: Merit & new rank requirements on: June 05, 2018, 02:28:42 AM
There must be something wrong, and i bet it is the quality is not increasing that much. Well, it could be other problem tho.

I know I see many posts that I would consider giving merit to if I had it. I really think that 80 merit sources aren't enough. Some them have been vocal in saying they can't find enough posts to use up their allocation so it isn't getting regenerated. Each of us has different interests and get involved in different threads. If the merit sources were more in number but each with less sMerit to use I think it would work better.

Same, there are posts or threads that i would consider giveng merits too, but if i had more merit. Yeah, we need more merit sources, and i think sources diversity, like adding merit sources from specific rank, would add more movement in the merits circulation, because you know, sometimes higher rank member have high expectation and standard for a post that they end up didnt give the merit for the poster. I would say adding merit sources for specific rank will help this problem, but of course that sources candidate still should have the ability to distinguish between great posts and not.

But it is only my idea, and it has flaws too.
I agree with you. There should be a season of replenishment of merits. If you have exhausted your merit, it ought to be replenished. And that too could be used to audit how you have used up the other merits giving to you.

Sadly too, while some are looking for merits to give out, some merits are decaying in some hands not issuing out. Can't such merits be reallocated to others who will use them?
115  Other / Meta / Re: 1 Merit per successfully reported post? on: June 04, 2018, 08:07:34 PM
I really don't understand what people think is wrong with the merit system as it is. I, and several others, have created a load of projects to help new members and the unmerited to gain merits. What has been the response? They won't get off their lazy arses to actual try to take part. All they do is to repeat extracts in the hope that they can suck up to the merit awarders.

The answer is to delete crap posts, and to force the pooposters to improve or to leave.

Another solution is to keep the bounty spammers in their underworld, and then maybe we can attract some new quality members.
I have been looking for an opportunity to try my hands on the jobj
116  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Future of Cryptocurrency on: June 04, 2018, 12:28:33 AM
Bitcoin and the blockchian technology although disruptive in nature are very important in this era on online and globalization. It has made payments across borders seamless. But unfortunately, most people, especially those in government have seen bitcoin only from the negative point.

As time goes on, and people gain knowledge about the positives of bitcoin, there is more and more balanced views. This is good. The future is good for cryptocurrency.
117  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin futures and market price on: June 04, 2018, 12:08:55 AM
I believe bitcoin price and whatever we see now is a direct opposite of what it is intended for. Bitcoin, from the little I have read and heard about it was supposed to be an alternative to fiat currency. But it has turned to a commodity of highly unpredictable value.
118  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Past ICO SCAM Analysis on: June 03, 2018, 02:45:23 PM
Did you find anything about Crederoom? No one have heard from the team since last January.
119  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Volatility on: June 03, 2018, 01:56:15 PM
I think as the market and ecosystem gets mature and global adoption, the levels of volatility will reduce. But at the moment, we and going to live with it.
120  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Digital Currency Take Over on: June 02, 2018, 07:43:53 PM
The technology is new and challenging for government official to understand. Even when they understand, it will take bold leaders to act.

There is much acceptance of digitization all around the world. In everywhere, there are leaders and followers. Let the leaders take the bold steps and everyone will follow.
