I am not sure that you are a willing participant in the circle or just fox pup wants to take you out on a date.
Hey now, I can take a joke, but you just crossed the line. I can assure you that everyone I date is a willing participant, and I resent any implications to the contrary.  |

This is indeed the coinbase transaction of a freshly mined block, as indicated by pickaxe icon and the fact that that transaction has no inputs. It has many outputs, each (presumably) corresponding to each of the miners in the pool who submitted valid shares. You were one of those miners, and this transaction is your payment. It can take a while for a pool to find a block, which is why your payment may have been delayed. There is nothing else unusual about it.

Just ask tp out on a date and get it over.
I don't think it'd work out. I'm already in a three-way with Moloch (58% of his merit was sent by me alone) and gmaxwell (37%), and like most foxes I only have so many holes available.  |

Foxpup giving me all those merits (I still can't figure out why he's given me so many),
That's it, I've had enough of this bullshit. I defy you to find a single post of yours that I have merited that didn't deserve to be. I suspect what you really mean is, you can't figure out why nobody else is giving you so many merits, and I believe it's because you're Legendary and Legendaries (in other people's minds) don't deserve merits because they can't rank up. Of course, if people did give more merit to Legendaries, cryptohunter would be even more mad, but as it is, he just gets to be mad at me. Specifically me; he keeps talking about me even after I've stopped responding to his nonsense. I don't know what his problem is. |

I'm meriting this thread not because you're part of the secret foxhole butt-sniffing club, but because this data is interesting and thought-provoking in its own right. My merits would have gone to cryptohunter instead had he posted this data himself as he was repeatedly asked to for the past week. Oh, well. You snooze, you lose. (Cryptohunter will probably have a fit when he sees I merited this thread a scant one second before posting about why I merited it, but he's just not thinking fourth-dimensionally.) |

Who could have imagined you would show up here (from the future with the fresh fox scent on you).
Whom I transfer my musky yet strangely alluring scent with (past or future) is none of your business. That definitely didn't come out right. |

Tell me how your story of meriting applies to fox pups smerit spamming of pharmacist. I mean walk me through it so he is browsing the board naturally reading and finding posts naturally to merit (not browsing his pals post history looking for excuses to give merit to them) and he runs out of smerits?? then what happens. Describe a realistic scenario that leads to this kind of merit history. I am ready to change my opinion on fox pup given some realistic scenerio.
I've already given you some realistic scenario. Whether you choose to believe it is your business, not mine. Next I wonder if you took fox pups 3k plus merit and look what % went to his top ... let's say 30 pals that he runs out of merit for but never forgets to top them up as soon as he gets some more?
I have 30 pals now? Forgive me, but it appears I've become so popular that I can't keep track of all my friends (who appear to be in danger of exceeding the maximum occupancy of my foxhole). Perhaps you'd care to name these 30 pals to refresh my memory? |

Foxpup probably bookmarked your posts because you hit 50 in one month. Or time travel.
I prefer to think of it as sending messages to my future self. Future me is somewhat unreliable (he still hasn't done any of the chores I told him to do), but he does trust past me's judgement, and trust is important when dealing with one's past and future selves. Distrusting one's past or future self is a common source of frustration when time travelling. |

You show me evidence of your time machine and I will indulge some of your requests.
The onus is on you really. I mean if i were reading this and viewing the evidence ......would i believe you use a time machine to view the board naturally and treat merit as suggested or would I believe you just open your merit buddies post history and just hammer on the merit button for his posts with hardly having time to find and read them before pressing.
People can draw their own conclusions.
I never said I used a time machine. You just assumed I used a time machine instead of some other means of time travel. I should point out that user's post histories are in chronological order and the posts I merited aren't. Draw whatever conclusions you like. |

As ever Foxpup is attentive to the thread and gives it the usual 2 second glance over (which I appreciate could be many eons in his time) and does not notice I have no interest in even talking to suchmoon - he seems to not unable to hold a conversation since he forgets he has said things only moments earlier. You're not dragging him around in your time machine are you. Poor guy seems very confused.
Since you have no interest in talking to suchmoon, I'd advise you to stop doing it. Repeatedly doing things that you have no interest in can be very psychologically stressful. The only one who seems confused here is you. fox pup well we know he is very generous to his merit club buddies and gives out great prizes (to them) but as yet we have not tested his debating skill.
If we're going to make this a debate, perhaps you would care to present some evidence that those in my "merit club" are in fact my "buddies". I hardly know any of them at all, and there are a few whom I suspect I would greatly dislike if I did get to know them (though I'll refrain from mentioning names to avoid hurting anyone's feelings). I certainly would not call a single one of them my friend. Take what up with you fox pup? there is nothing to take up. You enjoy giving merit to your friends. You enjoy giving out great prizes. Carry on I don't have an issue with it. If you are enjoying yourselves what is that to do with me?
Good question. If it's nothing to do with you, why do you persist in posting about it? EDIT: Typo |

 I'll take the pine cone in a bottle! That is unless the game rabbit burrito can be accepted pre prepared in the form of a burrito wrapper, a live rabbit, and some habanero sauce. In which case, I'll take the bunny!
Unfortunately, the rabbit is already dead, for reasons that are unrelated to the fact that I am covered in blood. Why is everyone looking at me like that? It totally died of natural causes. What? Predation is natural. Anyway, the pine cone is still alive, partly because it's not very tasty, and mostly because I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it out of the bottle (maybe you'll have better luck).  |

However when I notice a merit history like this
Today at 13:50:34: 2 to The Pharmacist for Re: account blocked today over a year old and 1500+ posts

.
Imagine 28 seconds between naturally browsing the board (not searching for your fav merit buddies at all just per chance your machine accidentally flys from you buddies post to his next one deserving more merit) reading the post (in full context of the thread)digesting it deciding on a sensible merit score and then just leaving that thread (cos it got boring after reading merit buddies post) and browsing the board naturally again (not searching for merit buddies)and finding another great post (just pure chance it is same buddy posting again) to read in the middle of a thread reading it and deciding on another senisble merit score. This just happening over and over.
Then they tell me --- if i happen to cross a good post I merit it simple as that. It's not like I just go searching for my merit buddies posts and taking 28 second or 30 seconds average to just plaster more merits to them.
edit there is a 27 second one too... those 28 second ones are simply inefficient discovery/evaluation/rewarding incidents.
Foxes do not perceive time in the same way that humans do. I do not expect you to understand the madness to my method, but the fact is that I (or someone who looks very much like me) really did find these posts naturally while browsing the forum, and there is a perfectly rational explanation involving time travel that is probably beyond your comprehension. The vast bulk of his merits are given out to a few people.
3835 Merit sent by Foxpup (#55384) to 220 unique users in 1496 transactions I know that's not as many as 800, but what can I say? I'm just not a very outgoing person, that's all. Most time travellers aren't. Why are you bothering suchmoon with my merit history anyway? If you've got a problem with it, you can take it up with me. |

An Error Has Occurred!
You can only send 50 merit to a given user per 30 days. You have already sent 49 merit to that user.
Vulpine Order of Merit member number eight is SaltySpitoon! Another voice of reason amid a cacophony of idiocy. It can't be easy dealing with all the trolls, kooks, and other assorted fools who hang out in the Off-topic section, but such efforts do not go unrewarded. Let the entertainment commence! |

I remember this message being common knowledge when I first got into Bitcoin way back in 2011. The consensus back then was that it was proof that the genesis block was mined after a specific date, so that Satoshi couldn't have given himself an unfair advantage by getting a headstart mining. While he probably wanted to make a political statement at the same time, scandals involving banks make the headlines frequently enough that there's no reason to suspect Satoshi was expecting this specific event.

It could be the beginning of a super-human race that will replace homo-sapiens, or it could be the beginning of the end for humans, as tampering with our genome could cause unforeseen mutations that will destroy humanity all together.
Both of these scenarios assume (with no basis whatsoever) that unmodified humans will go extinct. There's been plenty of films of giant ants and such attacking people.
Argument from fictional evidence is fallacious and allows absurd conclusions, such as that experiments involving cute animals are safe because Night of the Lepus wasn't scary. |

What a load of rubbish. First of all, "dihydrogen monoxide" is not the proper scientific name for this substance; that term was invented by scaremongers to confuse the chemical-phobic public. The IUPAC preferred name for this substance is "oxidane". Second, the chemical industry has years of experience in working with oxidane and has developed safe practices for handling it. When properly handled, the dangers of oxidane are minimal. Personal protective equipment (PPE) designed for oxidane exposure is widely available and easily prevents many accidents. Additionally, much of the harm attributed to oxidane is in fact the result of chemical and biological impurities that often contaminate otherwise safe oxidane supplies (indeed, 97.5% of the world's natural deposits of oxidane are too heavily contaminated to be industrially or commercially useful). Pure oxidane is an extremely safe product and is available inexpensively from most industrial and scientific chemical suppliers. This message brought to you by our friends at the Oxidane Foundation. |

The foundation of any theology exists because human beings have natural weaknesses. Once can create a "perfect human" through technology, he can be born with omnipotent, we can choose the best intellectual gene, the strongest physique gene when he is born, and then use AI technology to input all the knowledge we know into his brain. Therefore, it must be a natural atheist because it regards itself as a god.
Why should a really strong smart guy regard himself as a god? Being really strong and smart is not even close to being omnipotent. Again, you don't seem to hold a very high opinion of your god. Also, if you believe that weakness is good, then genetic engineering can help with that, too. We can genetically engineer people with super-human weaknesses; super-cripples with every disability that exists in nature, with a few artificial disabilities thrown in for good measure! Will their suffering be good for their souls? Will they reach new levels of spiritual awareness that those of mere average weakness can only dream of? I think not. |

From AI intelligence to gene editing, every step of humanity is moving toward creating God.
You must have an extraordinarily low opinion of your god if you think a computer program or genetically-enhanced person is anything close to His level. I think that people who are transformed by science and technology will lose their souls,
Why? What is your theological basis for thinking that? I am afraid of losing my soul.
I am afraid of you losing your soul too, but for different reasons. You worry me. You strike me as the kind of person who would kill genetically-enhanced people for the crime of existing. Are you that kind of person? Is that the "challenge to morality" you're referring to?
I can't even adopt a cat without being doubtful that it's a natural one.
Housecats aren't natural, and natural cats do not make good pets, to put it mildly. Housecats, like all domestic animals, did not evolve by natural selection, but by artificial selection by human breeders in what is essentially a primitive form of genetic engineering. This was demonstrated by the Russian zoologist Dmitry Belyayev, who reproduced this process in foxes, and observed many changes in his foxes similar to the changes that distinguish domestic dogs from wolves. Just look at this fine specimen:  Her name is Zoya. Look how cute she is! Can you really deny this creature your love just because she's a genetic experiment? |
