Where the heck did you notice that? I don't find them being high for more than a few weeks now. Since the day when Bitcoin dropped below $14k level, the fees has reduced significantly. I wonder what wallet you are using which asks for more than the core amount as fees. You should probably change your wallet if it is because of it.

What @bitmover has said is totally accurate. But I just want to give my answer too as I'm excited because I learnt this just now while searching for the answer of this, and have never been aware of anything like this before.

So, a more clear and simple answer to the question, "How exactly does a 51% attack work?" is that a person or a group of people having control over 51% or more hash power can easily manipulate the transactions, meaning they can prevent other miners from mining any blocks and do it themselves to earn all the block rewards and they can pretty easily double-spend a transaction done by themselves, or prevent other transactions to get confirmed.
However, they cannot do much with already mined blocks and transactions. The more the time distance of a transaction/block is, the less are the possibilities for the attackers to change or reverse it.
Such an attack can be done even with less hash power but the probability of success would be much less then.

Your statements "They can and will freeze your assets" and their statement "please, withdraw your BTC within next 24 hours." are totally opposite of one another. If they give you time to withdraw your funds, it doesn't indicate any scam attempt in my opinion. If they really wanted to freeze/steal your money, they would never give you a time frame to withdraw them. There must have been some reason for what they did this as it is not a normal activity for Localbitcoins and I'm hearing this for the first time.

You should lock the previous thread until it is deleted by a moderator. And if you will pay half of the payment upfront as said by someone above, I will also apply for this, but if not, then I won't risk wasting my time.

Why have you started another thread without locking or deleting the other one? You could simply edit that one and add the info you wanted to, without having to create another copy of that thread and add the new information.
And, you should probably escrow the funds or pay upfront in order to get honest and working moderators if you are serious about this. Because I don't think anyone would work without any guaranteed payment for a new forum.

Hi there. Have you heard about lazy-heads?  Who are they? Its you!
Before learning about anything else, learn to read, and you will not need to ask about something which is like an open book if you surf the forum properly.

I think it is not really unfavorable to anyone at all, but the reason why every quality post do not receive Merits is that they disappear if a lot of replies are posted after that. Now if I have sMerits to giveaway, I would probably not surf every single page of a thread to find the constructive posts and Merit them, but I would prefer Meriting the ones I come across while reading a thread. That is exactly how it is working right now. People with sMerits are rewarding the posts that are on the same page they are reading, and because of this, the constructive posts in previous pages are missed and thus a few or more than a few constructive posts get no Merits even though they deserve some.

Never heard about that, nor did theymos mentioned it in his post about the system. I don't think that is how it works. Merits/sMerits have nothing to do with the trust system. A person either with positive or negative trust can give sMerits to people without affecting their trust system because Merits are just to show that a post is constructive, and they are positive, so they in no way can work negatively towards an account.

This "Merit Rewarding" thing is becoming more of a self-promotion now in my opinion. It was good when done by one, two or at least 3 members with higher ranks, but now it seems like every other member with the hope of getting Merits for the thread is starting a "Merit Rewarding" campaign, just because the previous such threads have received quite a lot of Merits from other users as a help for the service.
There is no need of reviewing the posts of people and award them if they are constructive because they will eventually receive merits if they deserve any. Such a service is only good for the reason that if a post gets ignored because of the many posts after that in threads with many pages as no one actually click each page and read the posts to see if there are any constructive posts or not, but they merit only the ones they come across in any thread. But now it is going too far, just like the "Transaction Accelerator Services" of Services section which are more than needed.

You are tagged for account farming and spam. You have no quality posting instincts which is what your post history shows. And, the amount you are asking for is quite a lot for your rank of a positive account. So none of the things are in your favor to be honest. And I think you shouldn't have even attempted this after knowing all these things.

It doesn't really make any sense to copy the texts of an article and paste it here. If you really want to start a discussion or carry in information to the forum then you should write your own thoughts on it as well and then post the article for people to get more information from it. It cannot be called contributing if you are copy-pasting content from somewhere else to the forum, no matter how crucial or important info it demonstrates.

You should probably remove the '?' from subject as from the outside it is totally looking like you are asking instead of giving information about it.
And, if someone wants to learn something from somewhere else, they can easily google about it. So if you want to give information to people about something to be helpful, you should write the things in your post instead of posting a link. In that way, people will directly get the things from the forum, without having to go outside the forum and read articles to get them. That is a more convenient way to share information with the community IMO.

This thread has nothing to do with Bitcoin. Thus, it has to be moved to Marketplace (Altcoin) section. Only services that are paying/also paying with Bitcoin are supposed to be posted in this section as long as I know.
People interested in Altcoins are mostly active in Altcoin boards. So your thread will likely get more audience there as well.

The rates are all some people see before applying for a campaign I guess.   Because it clearly states about the Merit's count for particular ranks to be eligible for the campaign, and there are still more than 30% people applying without having the Merits required.

Edit: Posted after this post



Member Must have 15 Merits to qualify.

Hi Juggy.
Here is my post, mind meriting it, if it qualifies.

Edit: Got merited. Thank You.

Because that is the amount of coins generated when Bitcoin was created, and Bitcoin isn't some fiat money controlled by a government who anytime can print any amount of it and circulate it with the total cap. So the amount generated at that time, will always stay constant.
By the way, is that a bought account?  Because if you would have spent that much time to become a full member, you must have come to know this thing at least by now.

I don't think the people already aware of the system need a reminder for this, and the ones who are not, they don't really care.
No one doing something against the rules of a community can hide forever. So the ones trying to sell or selling Merits would eventually be revealed and they will have no other way than leaving the forum for good. Creating new accounts won't help in this case as Merits are not gained automatically, but they are to be earned manually by efforts, and someone having enough knowledge to contribute something to the community would never need to sell Merits for a few bucks.

Who doesn't think that this forum is popular for any kind of Bitcoin discussions? Isn't near 2 Million account sign ups enough to prove that? Do we really need to use threads as references to demonstrate the popularity of this forum to people? I know that there are no limitations on creating accounts, so anyone can have any amount of accounts in here, but despite that fact, I think 2 Million is a very large number.
