- 25% of my posts are shitposts (These can stop)
This is common with lot of members here and the new system should be able to tackle this. - 30% of my posts are trying to be funny, but few ‘get me’ (Its in my DNA, can’t stop)
There is no harm in this. Provided you are on topic, I guess this only increases your chances of getting more merits. - The rest are asking for info, answering someone else’s request, or ‘suggesting’ improvements to a vendor for poor ordering system.
I do not see an issue with this as well but make sure that you do not repeat a query already asked before. |

Dear old-timers of the forum, please explain, but what about those who are not of such a high rank as you, just learn, begins to understand the topic of crypto-currency, for example I can not imagine how I can fill 90 likes from 90 people ... This is not it that is impossible, for those who thoroughly studied the market, bitcoin and others, of course it is easy, but this is not true in relation to beginners and people of low rank. Remember yourself, was it easy for you to start? Now it's a hundred times harder. About 70% on the forum new accounts, which in this way you will not allow to develop. I mean about these accounts, which really try and are constantly on the forum. Why does not the rank increase for the amount of time spent? I would have long been not a member   P.S: Sorry for my english, if something is not right written It is not that hard to achieve. For instance, I myself got about 23 points after the merit system ( in a week or so). Good thing is that I still keep getting merit points on old posts as more members notice it. Provided I keep making such posts, I am sure that I will reach the next level in 3-4 months. I agree with you that it is now harder than it used to be in past but consider it as a sacrifice we all have to make this forum a better place. |

This is not strange but I think very probable. It might sound funny but I got a lot of female friends in casinos as well. You have to act confident and follow the basics though. Here you are taking advantage of the fact that both of you have some common interest. This gives you a topic to start the conversation.

Gambling is appealing just because it is easy money. You can get double or triple or even more in less than few minutes and it requires minimal effort. Even, investing money in Bitcoins requires you to analyse the past trends, make correct exit decisions and spend time reading the latest news related to Bitcoins. Also, there is fun element with gambling.

Let me tell you about Daniel Gates who is considered as the best Poker player in the world. People say that he is on his laptop even when he is taking his breakfast. If you want to increase your winning chances, you need dedication of that level. Otherwise you will remain a recreational player (called as fish) to be grabbed by other experts.

Actually, I started Gambling with Bitcoins in 2017 itself. I have not made much profit but have learned a lot. First of all, I realized that 505 of casinos are scams and thus we should make proper research before joining one. Especially reading recent reviews of users on a neutral forum like this is very helpful. Also, I have better winnings with video slots for smaller amounts like $5 or so.

Max I have gambled is 0.01 in a day in total. I used to gamble a lot with Bitcoins but hardly won ever. Thus, I decided to try with low priced alt coins where less money is at stake. I do not have the time to check all my statistics to determine whether I am in loss or profit overall.

There is a popular casino in Goa by the name of Casino Pride. When I was in college, I went to Goa with my friends and we thought to give it a try. Unfortunately, we didn't have the entry money required (which was huge for us that time). So we could not even enter the Casino.

Most of the people are addicted to gambling because of the money involved. A lot of people have lot of money to explore various leisure activities and I see nothing wrong it. But one thing that I recommend especially for students is do not use the money of your parents for gambling without their consent.

I pay enough tax already outside the crypto field, so I am definitely not letting to government eat off any of my crypto holdings. The downside of this is that my freedom to have it converted back to fiat gets drastically limited by doing so. It doesn't mean that I can't have it sent to my bank account, but these bastards register and report everything, which is forming quite an obstacle. Good thing however is that I am not a fiat centric person, which means that I gladly keep holding on to my coins for plenty of more years, just like I have always been doing.
Will you not have to pay taxes the time when you finally cash out ? I mean one day you will get the profits in banks and then how will hide those transactions. In my country, the Income tax department has already started raiding the exchanges and collecting the information of investors. Thereafter notices were sent to those who were investing huge amount of money in Bitcoins. |

I think that we can think about giving only when we have in abundance. You can already see this with people like Bill Gates who donated most of their savings for charity work. I also plan to spend some of my savings from Bitcoin profit for charity work. There are a lot of people here in my country who do not have enough resources to achieve even two meals a day.

what about the other guys who got ranked just before this merit system starts?
They are benefited by the fact that they joined early. Also, now that the change is implemented, we better move on instead of crying about the past. i would rather to trust codes than trust humans , i like decentralization concept but this merit system is opposite of this concept , i dont know why they did this when it's not decentralize but bitcoin is populer coz it is decentralize ,
There is a problem with codes, it is easier to game such a system. How can codes check the quality of post ? They can judge content length and uniqueness but that is not what we want. Finally, this forum will not function based on what you and I like. |

1. I saw already on a couple of occasions a fresh account receiving merit for a “normal” post, no super valuable post to the topic really nothing special at all. Is that just a coincidence?
This may be abuse of the new system. Such people are being caught and given negative trust. This will make their account useless if they made it for signature campaigns. 2. The bounty and signature campaigns will keep the root problems. The Dear Sir guys with a high rank keep the rank and are still posting their rubbish all over the place. Campaign managers are often super arrogant providing no details or information whatsoever.
You can report such posts and the moderators will take care of that. Just because someone is doing a wrong things and still successful, it does not mean all of us should take the same route. |

1. The reverse effect. The merit-system was made in order to save the forum from the influx of useless posts, topics, etc. Today, "thanks to" the introduction of this system, we have the following: the creation of the same topics about new merit system, about shit-posts and the emergence of begging.
Keeping in mind how this new system affected the members here, I think it is obvious to expect so many threads. Also, this is not permanent. As people get used to this, we will have less of these threads. 5. Get-away. Many participants can make a decision to leave the forum, observing the current situation and the forum will be empty. The bottom line: on the forum will stay only "oldsports", but some people don’t understand, there are some newbies who benefit the forum and share useful information. If he is newbie on the forum, this does not mean that he is newbie in the field of crypto currency. I know many crypto-guys who into the theme of crypto for several years, but have not been registered at the forum or registered recently.
If you are knowledgeable (irrespective of your current rank), you should be able to make quality posts. And if you are making quality posts, you will get merits and rank up. |

For you to get Merits what you need do base on the reason for the establishment of the Merit system is that what ever information you make in the forum should be of high quality and meaningful to the forum. For that will increase the standard of the forum which will encourage prospective investors that want to advertise their companies.
I think this must had been in the mind of the admin while introducing merit system. Low quality posts were degrading the forums and this will repel advertisers. Without earnings, it is difficult to run such a huge forum. This method is actually still ambiguous legal or illegal. If you have friends you may be able to exchange merit with constructive and positive post notes. I do not recommend this way but I think it's logical to do that if you have friends play in this forum.
Such people are being caught and given negative trust by senior members. You can also help by reporting such members. |

Pros :
- Merit system reduce spammer and low quality content / post , and make them cant go rankup so they cant get advantage on this forum
Agreed. Cons :
- Because of the system , the Newbie with low " knowledge " will be hard to make good quality content .
- how good is your post , if noone look at it /people wont give you merit , you will not get it .
- there will be merit sales for low rank ( this is my opinion )
1) That has nothing to do with merit system. Whether it is there or not, someone with no knowledge will never be able to make quality posts. 2) This can happen to some of your posts. But if all your posts are good, you will be recognized. There are members offering review services where you get more exposure. 3) It may occur but eventually the situation will improve especially when those default merit points are spent. |

we all know this forum is a very big forum. i have put me hoping this bitcointalk.org can develop quickly i hope this bitcointalk is not just for chatting but maybe this forum can be developed again like to be organization or place of sale and buy or maybe there can be a place of storage coin/wallet so according to you how or maybe you have another opinion to develop this forum ! or maybe I have very much opinion about this forum.
This is not an exchange but a forum. Forum is a place where people discuss about something. I think even if the owner has interests in making a trading platform, it should be done on a different domain. Regarding the future of the forum, I see that it will only get better in terms of discussions with time. The owner of the forum has already took the much needed decision in the form of merit system to eliminate spam posts. |

this is the best time for anybody who wants to get involved with bitcoin to start buying. although i would advise the newcomers to be extra careful because someone who has just found out about bitcoin may not be so happy if another 5% drop happens!
when in dips sometimes it is hard to believe bitcoin will be worth a lot more than that current price but if you get away from the drama and start looking at the bigger picture, you can see it not only is possible but easy.
If someone is troubled by 5% drop, I think he should not invest in crypto at all. There is lot of volatility in the prices and we have seen more than 30% change in the price levels in the past. If you really want to make sure shot profit with Bitcoins, all you have to do is to hold it for more than 6 months or so. For instance see the prices: October 2016 - $600 January 2017 - $800 May 2017 - $2000 September 2017 - $5000 December 2017 - $13800 It never decreased in 3 months gap. |

I checked the website that you linked to. All I can see there is that clicking on any link just redirects to a WordPress theme. So where are those tutorials to learn. This looks like an attempt to make money through the site by referring them to themes. Please do not make such misleading posts.

Only the credit card companies will benefit from this decision. I think seeing the huge money involved with Bitcoins, everyone is increasing their cut like the exchanges. The investors suffer at the end as their profit is reduced by this. Such kind of decisions also discourage the new investors which further reduces the demand and affects price negatively.
