What happends if the 35th answer is better and nobody reachs it because they think the first is the best? And... What  if the merited one is far to be a good answer?
 

Now, with the current system we still have this problem.
If the good answer is the 35th and there are already 50 answers, nobody will ever see it.

That is actually a great idea. It's a pain currently trying to browse and to find the most helpful answer on the thread in the sea of shitposts.
if such function existed, it would be possible to just skip all the unhelpful answers and then read only the best answer.

The idea is good but the problem is the low number of merit sources at the moment and also the low number of threads that they patrol on. I believe if there was an option offered to the thread maker that "allow searching posts by top merits" when the thread would be active it would be a good thing to segregate the shitposts from quality posts.

However we need more exposure of threads from merit sources then.



O don't think merit sources are the problem. If there is only one merited answer it will be on top, and any user can merit.
Maybe we need more merit sources, (for sure better distribution, as many local boards don't have any) but this can be implemented anyway.

Muito bom.
Apenas complementando.
Na minha opinião os piores problemas relacionados ao BTC são:

  • mineracao centralizada
  • impossibilidade de escalar sem a soluções offchain como a lightning network.
  • graves problemas de segurança com as Wallets Dr maneira geral , causando muitas pessoas perderem seus fundos e dificultando o uso em larga escala por usuários leigos.

Acredito existir uma enorme carência por projetos de infraestrutura, como Wallets e exchanges de qualidade (porcaria não falta).
12524  Other / Meta / Re: More than 1000 merit abusers found here (clearly motivated) - red trust time on: April 26, 2018, 03:33:54 PM
How have you worked that out? I've given out hundreds of merits, and I've received hundreds. I'm sure that I have given merits to members who have also given merits to me. I haven't checked, and don't remember as the awards ween't linked.

But what are the chances that those users have given you merit back within one hour? The chances of two random users giving each other merit is already a big coincidence, but then doing it within the hour is very unlikely and very suspicious. I haven't looked through the results in the OP but if it works as stated it would be helpful to go through and manfully look for potential abuses for those that can be bothered or have the time. People will get wise to this though and just wait a day or two to return merit.

I think op job is good, and it can be a useful tool to track abusers.
But it's very important to avoid banning the wrong person.

I think it's better to have some abusers (as merit  is scarse  they will not last long) than to ban a single member for wrong reasons.

Hello. I was looking at this thread, where a guy asked what was the problem in keeping funds on Coinbase.

Many people gave the answers everyone already knew, but one answer was better (wasn't mine)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3404196.msg35637828#msg35637828

It could be very helpful if it was the first answer. If we could click a button"sort by top merited"

What do you think?
12526  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is keeping your money on Coinbase really that bad? on: April 26, 2018, 02:59:24 PM
Besides hackers, theoretically Coinbase can lock up your account if they want to. Sure, they probably wont, but it's better to not take that risk instead. PayPal users had this very common problem of PayPal locking up their accounts for some reason with no chance of appeal. Will the same happen with Coinbase? Maybe, maybe not. But like I said, it's better not to take the risk.

That's a good point. As they hold your funds, if government put some pressure they can lock your funds or charge taxes, things like that.
One more reason to avoid exchanges. You only own the funds when they are in your wallet
12527  Local / Brasil / Re: Se você fosse o leão da receita, como tributaria as criptomoedas? on: April 26, 2018, 01:59:29 PM

Minhas propostas:

Possedimento isento de imposto e nao declaravel1

Até uma regulamentação das plataformas brasileiras de trading, operação de venda considerada somente como "entrada de transferencia de tal exchange na propria conta", e eventuais lucros tributados ao 10% acima de 50k BRL anuais2

Atualmente a regra é parecido com essa proposta.

Hoje voce é tributado como ativos no exterior, tendo 35k mensais de isenção. O que superar isso, é 15% de imposto.

The easiest way is to educate yourself in crypto. Then lost good quality content regularly and wait for merits, they will come.


Your old good quality posts are going to be merited constantly as time passes.

They can be hacked.

We have seen this before many times. If they are hacked they will first disable all withdrawals, and a few time later say they have no money left. You will lose many forks, Airdrop etc too.

It's much safer and secure just to buy a hardwallet and secure your funds by yourself.
12531  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: BTC Segwit Address not recognised by my Ledger Nano S Wallet on: April 26, 2018, 11:14:31 AM
Sorry I mistyped, QR code.
It's a picture that can be scanned to transfer funds without typing or copying pasting the address.

Ok, as you bought directed from ledger you were not scammed.

Did you use a passphrase? It's like a 25th word. You can unlock a second hidden ledger nano wallet using a different pin. Did you use that?

12532  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: BTC Segwit Address not recognised by my Ledger Nano S Wallet on: April 26, 2018, 10:20:34 AM
There is no problem regarding security when you copy and paste an address, because it's a public address and nobody can take your funds using it.

But when you take a photo, there is the risk you mistyped it... You could have used the we code at least.


Anyway,  have you tried to use iancoleman.io and recover that address privatekey?
If it's not there, it's not part of your wallet and you mistyped it, or you were a victim of a phishing (if you bought from third party seller)

That's very interesting.
In this website you can see the bitcoin inflation rate
 Btc still has about 4% inflation rate per year., Which is a high inflation, above the average in the world.

https://charts.bitcoin.com/chart/inflation

Soon btc will have almost zero inflation. By that time it's gonna be valuable, more and more each year.
12534  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reasons why not to invest in bitcoin? on: April 25, 2018, 06:33:14 PM
Oh, This thread are going to draw shills, like a turd draws flies.  Roll Eyes

Bitcoin is far from being perfect, so let's accept that. One - We cannot scale to mainstream use, without the Lightning

 Network. Two - We have some serious security issues with some of the third party software, where Bitcoin is used. Three -

The volatility is a major issue for some merchants.  Undecided


Those security issues are really a problem =/
Your post is very good and those are really problems to consider. Besides that we still have mining centralization cartel.

But these are minor issues and bitcoin will solve them. Soon we will have more secure wallets (which are still very complicated and unsafe for many people)

How do you get the time to do all this. Really I want to know.. How does anyone not laze their ass off the entire day Undecided.

People do anything for a few merits lol
His post is really interesting and he must have spent hours working on it. Would he do something like that without the merit system?

I am impressed with all the time I have spent on this forum, reading and trying to write good content to get enough merits to rank up and join campaigns. Then I saw I didn't care that much about those campaigns and became addicted to this merit system lol
12537  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Anonymity of cryptocurrencies owners on: April 25, 2018, 03:42:52 PM
I don't think bitcoin is that anonymous and I would not trust it

I believe bitcoin and ethereum can be traced to the hodler, unless he uses some coinmix stuff.
Ethereum is even less anonymous, as new addresses are not generated by default for every new transaction

Hello please take a look at my proof of work text

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3317586.0;topicseen
12539  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: my brief summary on Proof of Work on: April 25, 2018, 01:27:00 PM
I think this is hypocrisy, as Christmas lights consume as much energy.
http://www.coindaily.co/2017/12/14/christmas-decorations-consume-as-much-electricity-as-bitcoin-mining/

While you - and any other reader of coindaily.co - know this fact, the majority of people (regardless wether invested in BTC or never heard from BTC before) will hear the comparison between BTC and country X.
People still tend to accept christmas lightning (because hey, its christmas) over a mathematically (and technically) proven working form of a decentralised ledger without any influence of a 3rd party.



And how much energy does the whole banking system consumes?
Hi much does visa consumes? Nobody knows exactly, while btc mining is easy to point out , as someone who does not understand what bitcoin is mining is just a waste of energy to create some nerd money in a computer.

If you consider all the energy used in the banking system (not just server uptime) i would assume that its definetely more than the energy consumption of the BTC network (just a personal guess tho).
But nobody cares what visa consumes. Visa is a ('necessary') working financial instrument. You won't find the media talking about the enormous effort needed to keep the visa network alive.

This is (sadly) the point.


Well, in my opinion proof of work is not the problem then.
He problem is all that misinformation about it and about bitcoin, in a attempt to discredit it to common people, who "cares about global warming", favoring banks and Visa.

I think even that proof of work can sponsor renewable energy sources, like solar panels. Any excess energy produced by them can be directed to bitcoin mining, that would make the capital recovery make much faster
