Just like I have said before, merit system has been the reason we have quality posts on this forum. If merit system was not introduced, this forum would be a place of trash posts.

You can noticed someone not posting as good as another person, but having more merit, but still he is having merits and ranking higher. People that are giving merit can be partial, especially those on local boards, but merit still ensures that posting quality on this forum is achieved.

Merit system is not a direct cause of quality posts on the forum. Qualified content existed even before the implementation of this system. Moreover, many users who have been here on the forum almost since its inception claim that there were more high-quality discussions than now. Merits did not affect the improvement of the quality of the posts. They just contributed to reducing the number of users who spam.

In my point of view, the most notable thing the merit system does is that it draws a line between quality posters and spammer. The higher number of merits below your forum names represents his dedication, contribution, and ability of that person to make quality comments. When i saw some posts that got merited i tried to read them all in case i might learn something new.

The merit system was introduced as a means of separating the shaft fro grains, if you're a spammer or troller, the merit system will bounce on you and halt you down from growing, this will now advance to helping people know that it is required of them to be a quality posters, if not then they will remain on the same spot without ranking up, not giving a quality post may not result into ban since it's not on the forum rules and regulations to ban users not engaging quality posts, but ca results to being tagged and your posted being deleted or moved to off topic, the merit system instroduced helped alot to know those who are serious from those who were not on this forum.

It's very obvious that the Nigeria local board is fast growing with activities and members since after it got the approval on local board request, there are more prominent members of the forum being active on the board and the forum at large, having more than two merit sources on that local board is what will increase more active participation of members the more on the local board because they will find it more interesting to post and grow on thesame vein, i believe you will discharge the required role upto expectation if granted this request considering your timewhile experience on this forum, i wish you best of luck with the application.

I don't think it's only kucoin that is involved in this kind of poor quality service on their network, i don't often make use of some centralized exchanges that have lesser reputation than Binance, we should know that even Binance is not the safest but still appears the best and most preferred among others, it's not by their names we get the best of them, it's by what they offer that is satisfactory by every user for recommendations.

If you think about economizing the utilization of the mobile machines used, what of putting into consideration their maintenance demands as well, i think that the best solution is to cut short every unnecessary means to which we move out and engaged doing other things that doesn't matters at all, this will help us to think deep before taking a step and how to plan adequately for us to be able to save time and money that would have been wasted or used in going after unnecessary things we can actually do without, some will through this learn alot of lessons.
1085  Economy / Gambling / Re: Using ToS against users normal? on: August 09, 2023, 03:29:07 PM
We recently had the in the stake thread.
They are changing their terms all the time without notifying anybody, that's really a bad way to communicate with your customers. Also it is dangerous for us, since unknowingly we can violate some rules that have been implemented recently which results in an investigation and/or bad in the worst scenario.

On other fiat site I played in the past every change of terms was communicated with the players and had to be agreed on if you want to continue playing there. That's how it is supposed to be and any place that isn't doing it can't be trusted 100% unfortunately.

Do you have a gambling account in Stake?
I want to speak not because I joined their campaign but because based on some of the facts that I experienced.
Stake did change some of their rules or conditions but there is a notification via email message and also when you enter the site there will be a notification that some of the rules have been changed and in the notification it is clearly written to agree to all the changes.

If you have an account and have been playing for a long time on the Stake site then I'm sure you will find or experience the same thing as me.
The last time I saw, there was a ToS change in Stake and it was notified to all members through a window that would appear when the user logged in to their gambling account so that they could know if there was a ToS change. Some other casinos also notify their members if there is a change in the ToS and maybe they will notify it via email because I've seen that notification come to my email. And it is the responsibility of each member to ensure that there is or is not a change in the casino ToS and they can ask the support service if they don't understand or want to know if there is a change in the ToS.

Casinos don't use their ToS against their users, i will better advise that gamblers should always take heed to whatever requirements is needed from these casinos and they should make provisions for it, ToS are prone to review in which most of the users always got notified by their platforms on possible changes they may encounter along the line, this is not intended to abise the user's right but to reshape their policies and make them offer the best they have to give out to gamblers, exception are scam or untrusted casinos with no reputation, it's always important to make research on them before using any gambling platform.
1086  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Irresponsible behavior at the Las Vegas Casino on: August 09, 2023, 03:11:39 PM
Nakedness should bbit be a thing of much concerns to us anymore since people now willingly go naked to display their high level of desperation not to talk of when someone is under an alcoholic influence, he will definitely misbehaved himself, this is not what we can see happen in Las Vegas alone but at any gambling casino because some people can go weird to an unbelievable extent, while gambling, we should caution ourselves not to get intoxicated by alcohol and start to misbehave as someone insane, responsible gambler shouldn't get drunk.
1087  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Benefits of Scarcity and Decentralization on Bitcoin value on: August 08, 2023, 04:55:03 PM
I've heard a lot about the potential of Bitcoin as a store of value. Can someone explain how its scarcity and decentralized nature contribute to its value proposition?

Even though your title had said it all, bitcoin scarcity is not in the difficulty you experience for you to have bitcoin, you can easily get bitcoin from a friend as gift or you exchange for it with your fiat on an exchange, what is being meant here is the way bitcoin could be created, unlike how the fiat currency is being minted indescriminately by the government, bitcoin has a process to go about through in which only miners can mine it after being the first in completing the required task, decentralization could also means that anyone can have this same equal opportunity to perform the same task and mine bitcoin, they anyone can have it and bitcoin is not tied down to any government policy from any country, it works strict by it protocols.

Day by day we are seing something new to talk about in El-Savador ever since bitcoin adoption, industries are signing up with their partnership, sponsorship, more establishment are coming to El-Savador, bitcoin education is free, miners are running there for their safety, the world is proud of the first country to make bitcoin a legal tender and some countries already hold their bitcoin conference in El-Savador inviting world leaders, leadeing business and enterprise, reputable organizations and many other economy analyst and professionals, it's definitely going well with El-Savador and there are many more recent success we can always talked about when it comes to the success in their bitcoin adoption.
1089  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I lost my life savings trading Bitcoin Don't be like me. on: August 08, 2023, 03:24:14 PM
I don't know why am I am posting this here but I wanted someone to talk to. Since I can't talk about this to my family or friends because I am ashamed of myself. I am lazy piece of garbage who tried to make money the easy way, and get rich quick trading. I have failed my family and myself, I deserve everything that happened and will happen to me. It's time to take accountability for my actions. I think this will be my last message to the world, I am sorry

Having a failed attempts the first time doesn't mean you're a failure completely, if i were you then I will take up the challenge and wake up to get back at it the second time and claim back what has already been taken from me, no one is above a mistake but we shouldn't let it come back to occurrence the second time, now that you've realized, why not take up the challenges if others are making money from bitcoin investment and get determined to also be in their category and make something different, don't loose hope and never give up on yourself.
1090  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Another way to spread the awareness of Bitcoin on: August 07, 2023, 09:47:10 PM
I go like am if by any means Nigerians government legalize Bitcoin for the country and people start to dey use am for their business and people still dey invest on am

Bitcoin is already a legalized means of making payments and the law does not forbids it, only that the gover through their Apex commercial counterparts and Central Bank made the law to stop the banks from operating under any cryptocurrency transaction and close down every user account in such regard, but the people are allowed to make use of the digital currency but without the bank approval.

but apart from this things way I mention watin again you think say we fit use bitcon take do to spread the awareness?

Bitcoin itself is what others can see through us to how we lived out lives and the benefits it serves us that will make others have more urge to also try out a new financial system, when our personal life as a bitcoiner preaches about bitcoin, others will see and try to know about bitcoin from us because they have behold the benefits in us than whe we are just busy telling them stories that have no evidence to take on from us.
1091  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Life of a Crypto man on: August 07, 2023, 09:01:56 PM
Just like the hardship in the country this time, cost of living is high most people barely see something that could be fetching them any small amount but in crypto life is a bit easy even if there are some lapses but is the best. Also through crypto awareness most people were able to navigate other ways of working online to earn a living.

For those that have the privilege to get introduced to bitcoin, i count it a great opportunity for them to take advantage in it to have a change in status, we must not also forget that we shouldn't because of the fast increasing demands we have with the needs attached to us should make us take cryptocurrency as a quick means of making money, one can actually make money so quick but in most times takes a gradual approach, we shouldn't invest on any crypto we are not used to despite there are vast opportunities to work or invest online and earn a living.
1092  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: 3 ways of Turning your adversity to advantages in bitcoin on: August 07, 2023, 07:08:02 PM
Turn you adversity and suffering to advantages, we have several adversity in bitcoin such as no return, hacking, price volatility, scam and piracy.

All these are nothing but what we cause to ourselves from the mistakes we do each time we have no understanding of what we are doing, lack of being informed is one of the consequences to what you have listed above, bitcoin has no adversity but through our own self introduced such through the way we handle it.

There are profitable ways we can turn this into adversity Firstly you have to embrace discomfort, discomfort can be very bad but they challenge for growth.

Let's not make it so appeared that bitcoin has discomfort it gives in other not to discourage others about learning bitcoin, everything about bitcoin depends on learning first and while going through this, you're not meant to experience discomfort to that extent you got discouraged, bitcoin is about freedom and those that seek it finds just as in learning something new.

Now your copied wallet address can be replaced with a scammer's address without your knowledge.

There's a thread that talks more extensively on this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5190776.0 how to loose you bitcoin using copy and paste, this call for us to be very careful on how we carelessly allow the introduction of these malware into our device we used through the downloads we made and some unsecured sites we visit, when copying and pasting of any address, we should always very the same address copied is what was pasted for us from the clipboard and not just assum it was, we have to verify and be certain, because while pasting, they might have been replaced since the clipboard is already under attack in some cases, address copied must always tally with the one pasted.

MY REVIEW:


Downloading Mixing Messenger App

I was able to successfully downloaded the mixin messenger app from the playstore, once the search was made on the right keyword, you will receive the application seing the logo on it and download, it takes no much time to download and same also is the installation of the app, upon successful installation then you begin with the registration in full

How to Register after Downloading Mixin Messenger

Below are the procedures i follow for a successful registration of my mixin messenger:


1. Verification of phone number: this is the first step you will need to do by inserting your contact number to be used for the registration and it must be an active one because there will be a registration code sent to the line for confirmation which the process does not take much time to do.

2. Creating a username: choose a desiring user mane to bear and insert it as part of the procedures needed to register your mixin messenger app.

3. Creating your mixin messenger pin: this is one of the most interesting aspects because here you will be asked to provided your mixin pin four (4) consecutive times before approved just to ensure you're deliberate about the pin you're giving and to ensure its not what you could easily forget which is a good take by me because I'd like it that way, not everyone can easily remember what they use as pin in some cases except they have used it repeatedly.

4. Add a contact and ensure that your contact also pass through thesame procedure in creating their account for registration and must add you as his own contact as well, same goes to emergency contact, both of you must added each other, but ensure its someone you're reliable with before adding them as your contact or emmergency contact.  


Downloading of Mornin Key App

The most important aspect of this to begin with is to download the mornin key app on the playstore and pay a little and affordable amount of money for the permission/access to allow for the app download, the whole process was made simple without stress and they provide you with different options for payment methods as you like, this is shown by the images provided below for your view.

Procedures for Installing Mornin Key App





MIXIN SAFE

Here's were you will have to use your mixin messenger app to scan the barcode on the homepage to enable you log into your mixin safe dashboard proper, this does not take time as well to scan and you get updates from the mixin messenger that you've successful log into your mixin safe dashboard, here are the procedures as followed by me.

Scanning the Barcode to log in

Upgrading your Package Plan

To make an upgrade on the plan you wanted to subscribe to, they appear in packages you will need to make a little deposit fee of $2 for the least package subscription you wanted to have.




Creating a New Safe

there's a owner creation of new safe in which you will have to create and scan the new safe QR code with your mornin key app to link them up together.




Receiving a Deposit

The process of making a deposit comes a little bit tactical b cause you will be generated a new address which must be made deposited the desired amount you intended within 10minutes, i have to redo do the process more than twice to be able to maximize the time given before elapsed for the transaction to get confirmed, so in this, you have to make use of the highest transaction fee priority to make it faster and in less than 3 minutes you send it you get confirmed




Withdrawing Your Deposit

You will have to follow the same procedure to withdraw your money, use mornin key to confirm your transactions by scanning the QR code it will need you to sign into, just as when making deposit, withdrawal procedures are very fast as well, it take no more than few minutes to achieve.




Conclusion and Recommendation

1. The whole process in mixin safe is perfectly safe and secured and one could actually make a recommendation for that.

2. The purchase of the mornin key app may seems discouraging by some users on discovering it's not free

3. I've heard about people complaining of the transaction fee to be very high, to me when making deposit, the time limit is so close that 10 minutes may not really be enough except you make use of the high priority fee to get confirmed on time and meet up which some may not like paying higher fee

4. The withdrawal procedures are fare enough and cost less, this is a good start for people to have the assurance that they can easily make withdrawals without issues.

5. I recommend using not more than one app for mixin safe and the mixin messenger app could perform the other functions the mornin key performs because some may not like the complexity of the procedures required.

6. The little challenge here is the platform being a decentralized one but yet request for your phone contact and email address, maybe you can work on that just as the forum operates, you can use an email address but not verified just as the mobile number user will not be verified.

7. I see the use of mixin safe more applicable in an organizational settings where two or more people are needed to sign a transaction just as in the case of using a multisig wallet, corperate or joint business account could be best use of this and also individuals or family can best utilize mixin safe to the best for their privacy and safety.

8. Mixin safe allows deposit and withdrawals without any issues or form of delay.

9. Lastly, i must applaud their customer service for prompt and accurate response, they are best at what they offer.

1097  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bitcoin Halving 2024 on: August 04, 2023, 01:03:22 PM
Every 210,000 blocks, the block reward for the miner is halved. A block is found about every 10 minutes, from this you can roughly calculate when the halving takes place. As of now it is less than 1 year. There are different countdowns, but April 2024 is likely. The last halving was in May 2020. The block reward was then halved from 12.5 to 6.25 Bitcoin. The upcoming reward will then be reduced from 6.25 to 3.125 bitcoin.

After reading through all these, what exactly are you trying to drive out from all you've said, because there's nothing new here than tothology, just like teaching an average adult what food is when it's something everyone has been used to, we already know about halving, but what more do we need to be informed of different from what we already know.

An idea for a new guessing game: guess the date and time of the first block of the halving.

How can we, is this a riddle or game, all we know is that between March and May of next year we are going to experience another halving to mark the 2024 experience after the last we had in 2020

There's nothing bad in introducing bitcoin education to the schools curriculum in the Nigerian universities, what we should first put into consideration is the fact that bitcoin needs to have a government approved legalization where everyone will be permitted to make use of bitcoin transaction without any fear of getting government actions against all any involvements, then also we have to get the same approvals from banks whereby they are allowed to have access to all bitcoin related transactions and activities for it customers, then we can talk about seing bitcoin education a point to seek approval on and be taught in institutions.
1099  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stay updated on: August 03, 2023, 03:58:14 PM
The suggested easy way to always get updates is to get subscribed to the gambling channels of our interest and make use of them to remain updated, there are official websites and social media platforms they use and we can also subscribe to them or follow them up for updates, the world is advanced and information easily get disseminated through soe of these social media platforms and having the use of our mobile phones could ease the whole process in helping us get their updates.
1100  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do wager affect outcomes in any provably fair games on: August 03, 2023, 03:32:09 PM
When playing on a probably fair games there is possibility of result repeating twice or more and as random as it is it has nothing to do with your wagering as a determinant, it was just your lucky day  enjoy it while it last.  Except they are not probably fair games but if they are then anything out of the ordinary is a coincidence just like other members has emphasized. There's no way out previous bets can have any link with the outcome of our next bet. In gambling luck comes in different ways.

You're right with your statement, it all depends on luck and nothing like the wager made affects the provably fair games on online gambling platforms, had it been it was so, many would have believed that things were been manipulated underground to favour gamblers on a certain conditions if met, playing games also has their respective requirements and task to do along in which some are purely by luck, bet and win if you're lucky your figures comes along with the randomized figures that the system select and you win but if not then you loose.
