I guess you are right, eliminating all the signatures will eliminate most of the spam (except of ANN-bumping). But I don't think this is a good solution for the forum. Because it's necessary for the forum to be an important platform where third parties are willing to place their ads, because Bitcointalk has also costs. And the signature campaigns bring clicks. Bitcointalk needs these clicks to be attractive for placing an ad of third parties.
No one will pay for an ad on a website, that has no visibility (clicks).
That's not an issue. BitcoinTalk has at least 500 BTC being held by OgNasty (escrow). I don't think money is an issue for theymos. But spam on the other side? Hell yeah. People are so ungrateful for what they have in this forum that they just want more and more, thus they keep spamming the forum. What do you think will happen if the spam doesn't stop and theymos just give up on putting passive measures in place? Right now, merit was only created because he likes how people from other places of the world can get a few bucks in here while contributing with the forum. But if this doesn't stop, there is a huge chance he will just ban all signatures all at once. |

meaning that they only want Copper Member to be just one line of plain text.
As I said, people usually (or they should) buy Copper Member to be able to post images, which is the main reason it was created. It shouldn't matter if they are able to use a Member-like signature or just one line of plain text. Vod and Jet Cash aren't suggesting this as the only perk. They are suggesting that they downgrade the signature of the Copper Members from Member-like to a single one-line text. They still have the can-post-images advantage. |

To be honest, we need some kind of incentive to actually have the Copper membership to exist, otherwise why is it there? What purpose would it make?
Just to add a couple of words under your name, and clarify that you support the forum? Then there should be a "small" donator rank but that's already been discussed so many times.
There is already a good incentive, which is: enable them to post images. If you are a legit project/ICO, you won't mind paying $15 to make a cool ANN thread instead of having to wait 30 days to become a Jr. Member (and now, get 1 merit). Campaign managers should avoid accepting users who can wear their signature only because they have bought Copper Membership but are not in the actual rank that should make them able to wear it. If a Campaign (Signature/Bounty) starts to accept users with Copper Membership only because they can wear the signature then the recent Newbie and Jr. member restrictions are going to be useless.
They should look at earned merits instead of rank. Mane old users who only spam can join signatures because they got their airdropped merit. But it doesn't mean they deserve it. |

That's because JetAid it's still a Newbie.
And people have been complaining about this error all day (most Newbies can't post anything).
All you can do is wait for theymos to show up and clarify/fix the issue.

Essa era minha dúvida mesmo, 180gb é realmente muita coisa, acho que poderiam criar um jeito de otimizar, sei lá.
Você pode rodar o Core em modo "prune", o que deleta a grande maioria dos blocos anteriores e deixa apenas os mais recentes. Adicionando prune=550 no seu arquivo bitcoin.conf, o Core utiliza apenas cerca de 2gb e 3gb de espaço.

Not possible. Sorry. Keep in mind that you (as a person) have been permabanned. You can’t create a new account. |

Plagiarism. The ban is permanent and you can’t appeal it. User: nitishkumar9999 Archived postsIn the beginning, Satoshi Nakamoto offered 50 bitcoins for each block created and that development happened in every 10 minutes.
Since there are 1440 minutes (24×60) in every day, that means that 144 blocks were created so 144X50 = 7200 bitcoins per day, 4 years are 1461 days which include the leap one) and the total bitcoins for the 1st 4 years came out to be 1461 X 7200 = 10519200.
After that, it was decided that every 4 years henceforth would decrease the bitcoins awarded per block created to half of its original value, the total bitcoins are 10519200 *(1 + 1/2 + 1/4+1/8 + … +1/2^n) = 10519200 *2 = 21038400 (if we take approximate of 1+0.5+0.25+0.125+.. = 2 )
That is why 21038400 is the theoretical limit and we don’t want to go forever mining a millionth, a trillionth of a Satoshi. Actually (as for now) we cannot go less than 1 satoshi anyway. So the real number is just a little bit smaller than that, maybe 21038399.99999999 or 1 Satoshi away from the theoretical calculation.

Bitcoin is better than Altcoins based on its network effect and proven security. Both are nearly insurmountable advantages. Bitcoin has a proven usage case as a store of value. Bitcoin has a large lead as a store of valueover every altcoin in having existed 8 years without failure. The security of Bitcoin has been proven far more than its much younger counterparts with usage by almost every metric exceeding that of altcoins.

Bitcoin has a proven usage case as a store of value. It’s instructive that most coins try to carve out some differentiation based on much smaller use cases, such as prediction markets, buying things completely anonymously or adding a decentralized name server.
Bitcoin has a large lead as a store of value over every altcoin in having existed 8 years without failure. The security of Bitcoin has been proven far more than its much younger counterparts with usage by almost every metric exceeding that of altcoins. About 10 years ago the majority of the world was getting butchered by the wealthy’s financial interests, so a group of individuals set out to change the way we view currencies and the way the financial markets operate. They were looking for a way to create a digital currency. There were several initiatives, and each of them laying down some crucial groundwork for what we now consider cryptocurrencies. But really none of them seemed to be capable of solving the issues that people were dealing with at the time.
On 31 October, everything changed. Satoshi Nakamoto released the whitepaper which was to become the foundation of Bitcoin. “A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System” was the title of the whitepaper. The paper proposed a digital currency based on a distributed network and cryptographic proof, with the purpose of enabling peer-to-peer transaction. The system in Satoshi’s whitepaper was, and still is, revolutionary because it proposed a way of transacting wealth without having to rely on a trusted third party.
As the Bitcoin network was launched in January 2009 Satoshi’s idea was met with mixed criticism . Some early adopters were inspired by this new system while the majority were more critical. The new “Internet money” was named things like a scam, or a way new way of paying for criminal activity. In hindsight we can all agree that Satoshi Nakamoto was a visionary, and that his solution for peer-to-peer transactions worked.

Sorry, but how a post from 2015 where I join a signature campaign has anything to do with this? You WHOLE post history is shit. You literally went stalking for a post from 3 years ago to post here. How delusional can you be? Now, can you try with any of my last ~3000 posts?  |
|
|

can you please share an article for me to read more about this? I'm new into it and haven't found anything usefull on google search. beside someone claiming that the merit system is heading towards 0 with the exemple I mentioned  This is the first result when you Google "BitcoinTalk merit": https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0 |

Correct me if i am wrong then instead of claiming it as thrash.
There is nothing to correct. It's pure trash. 1. It adds nothing to the discussion. 2. It adds nothing to anyone's life. 3. It's just an effortless oner liner made while you were shitpost bursting for the sake of filling a quota or increasing your post count. You literally go from post to post writing the first thing that comes to your mind. It's simply just a waste of bandwidth and space on the server's database. I'm sorry if you are so delusional that you can't see how bad your post is and how wrong is your mentality on this forum. |

You're delusional. I am the third alt of Jet Cash, and all of us managed to get a few merits within the first 20 posts. I am the only alt that admitted my parentage at the time of birth.
In the Bitcoin Talk forum, it isn't who you know, or what your rank is that earns the merits, it's what you say, and how you behave. That is how it is, and how it should be. [...]
You could be theymos himself, but with this post history, satoshi would get out of his grave to permaban you. |

I understand your new merit system, but for people like me who translate ANN contents with many images it's a punch in my face. Now I have useless images I edited and translated as well as entire posts (because the content is on images).

I like how in 90% of those posts, the ex-Jr just talks shit about himself without noticing. before many people post all sorts of rubbish just to reach jr member level and join the bounty, or posting rubbish just to reach the 15 or 20 post per week required by some bounty managers.
And still can’t manage to do what they already know they should do: With this new system all that have to stop, now people will have to take their time to post constructive post and actually contribute to the community.

Do you have the approximate date of release? I can't wait to use it.
No. But the release is probably pretty close. I expect it to be out by the beggining of 2019 (we’ve been waiting for a few years, so that’s “pretty close”). |

The new forum software will be responsible/mobile friendly. Wait for its release.
