Well, obviously if you have more Onions now than before, your weight has increased and you get Onions faster than before. And I imagine you have more Onions now than before  
Sadly, my laptop can't handle being on all the time so I leave it on for like a day or two and then turn it off for the night, then on again. I'm sure that disrupts the staking process but I can't do anything for the moment until I buy something cheap to stake all the time  

Darn, I need to update the wallet! But I'm a bit of a chicken, I'm afraid that it will stop working on my laptop which is 5 years old and it's been through a lot. I've backed up my .dat file of course (multiple times) and my private key. It's an irrational fear 

Man, get your facts straight, please. Otherwise you seem ridiculous. The 90% rule was removed even before I joined the project, which was back in November. Back then DeepOnion's price was not more than $2. Now it's $6-$7. What decline are you talking about? Sure, we didn't keep our ATH price but which coin is up all the time? Look around you. 99% of the altcoins are in red and the 1% that isn't has recently introduced one feature or another which has created hype and upped the price.

The only way the airdrop is affecting the price is by keeping it low for the moment. I advise you to buy now because after the airdrops end you won't afford too many Onions.

DeepOnion would be my pick. I believe it will be even more popular after the airdrops are over and people will be investing more in it. What's more, by then a lot of new features will have been introduced to the project, wallets for Android and iOS will have probably been released (the developers have already shown us a sneak peek for the Android wallet and it's beautiful) and DeepOnion will have VoteCentral, where DeepOnion holders will be able to suggest and vote on matters that concern the community.

I checked the updates shop. Lots of good stuff to order there. My problem is that I don't know what to buy first

There will be an iOS wallet in the future, it's on DeepOnion's roadmap.

Great live stream by TheMonkii yesterday! A lot of questions were answered and people had a good time. Also, lots of prizes. I hope everyone watched it!

Wow, the new Windows wallet looks amazing! Now that this week's airdrop is over, I will download it.

One more successful airdrop is done, fellas. I got my cut as usual 
To everyone who hasn't registered for the airdrop yet, what are you waiting for? Onions are falling from the sky and you're holding an umbrella!

Are you sure about your observational skills? To take it from the start, are you sure about your math? If DeepOnion had dropped less than 100% we would be talking about negative value, as any price dropping by 100% is zero. What we have witnessed is DeepOnion going from about $2 in November to $19 in January. If you know math, that's a 950% rise in value. Then, from $19 in basically followed Bitcoin's drop, but held a lot of its value which many altcoins failed to do. Today it's at $9. If you were to calculate the drop from its all-time high, it would be a percentage close to 50% loss in value. However, I don't think we should forget that this coin was at $2 in late November. Which is why I think of it as a 450% rise in value from November.

Let's not spread FUD here. DeepOnion is relatively new and is doing great at the moment, the name is starting to spread among the crypto world and people are getting jealous, which you can see a lot in bitcointalk. People wish they had a community like ours, they wish they could implement DeepOnion's marketing strategy but they can't. We will go forward and make ourselves known. There's no time like the present to invest in this coin.

Thanks for both your replies. I knew all this stuff but the last reply prompted me to check my posts and the dates I've written them and looks like I've missed two activity cycles which was what was making my calculations off. I thought my maximum activity should be +28 from my activity points now so I was perplexed as to why my posts had stopped adding up.

Wow, lucky! He would be even luckier if he invested in DeepOnion now. I believe it's the right time for an investment, due to the fact that many features are about to be introduced in the first quarter of 2018, like the android wallet which will be followed by the iOS wallet later. And let's not forget that VoteCentral is also coming soon. Such features are bound to make people excited about DeepOnion and I predict its price will rise in the following months.

What about our activity points? I thought I understood correctly that the merit points and the activity points would both be needed for ranking up but my activity points haven't moved since the announcement of the merit system. So do we only need the merit points after all?

You can see on the previous page of this thread (page 191) how a junior member's signature looks like now. Nothing else has changed, from what I can tell. There's just not any kind of link you can click on. I'm not sure how this will affect junior members as far as this airdrop is concerned.

Why would you want DeepOnion to change its name? DeepOnion got its name from The Onion Router, more known as Tor, which what DeepOnion uses to make its transactions anonymous. It's a good name, people just don't get it.

As for the airdrop, I hope you know that placing the signature is not the only rule to receive the airdrop. You can find a list of requirements here https://deeponion.org/airdrop.html

That's misinformation. Junior members can't have links in their signatures anymore. The problem starts with bitcointalk, not the DeepOnion forum. Signatures are, indeed, broken in the sense that the links they contain aren't there anymore. As it is now, we don't know if the junior members here will have a problem with the airdrop. That's all speculation at this point. I know that the heads of DeepOnion will want to give junior members a solution about this. No one wants them to miss any airdrops.

I don't think many junior members will be in the mood to see the bigger picture when they can't participate in pretty basic signature bounties like the one held by DeepOnion. Just saying 

That's too bad for junior members. I'm not one myself as everyone can see but I think the bitcointalk mods or whoever thought of this system should have taken into account that this is practically a demotion, regardless of whether they get to keep their title.

I see it too. We're really close to reaching $10 again at the moment. Let's see that Onion rise baby
