I wonder how can we popularize the project if its not well documented or misleading. Do we really need 10 more years to be completed?
Depends on what the goal is. If it's just to move Bitcointalk over to the new software then it doesn't really matter much if the docs are wonky, as long as theymos can figure out how to get it running. If the goal is to make it a popular discussion platform - I doubt that would ever happen even with excellent documentation. It's a niche product at best. That's not an excuse to have wonky documentation and clunky installation process, just an observation. If we talk about migration of bitcointalk.org to Epochtalk, according to theymos it won't happen until enough people have tested it. So that's why it is important to make it more popular so it can be tested and improved. In reality, i don't think that Epochtalk is coming soon to the forum.  .
In short: If you want the software quicker, go run your own forum with it, and work to get any problems or missing features you find resolved via bug reports, etc. This would increase public interest, provide much-needed testing, and I might even hire you to work on bitcointalk.org when we're ready to do the final transition here.

Thanks everyone for responses and some guidance. I am not very familiar with js node and stuffs so I decided to go with the environment I know which is php mysql and installed SMF in for the project. Sooner or later I will come up with the URL and some discussion about it.
Smile!
Sad to hear that you gave up on the Epochtalk but of course if it's not well documented you can't do much about it. I wonder how can we popularize the project if its not well documented or misleading. Do we really need 10 more years to be completed? |

and websites.
I never seen a campaign like that so i would like to ask if anyone knows such campaign(s) I've rented out my website field (in my profile) for a month to a campaign once. It must have been about 2 years ago, it could have been just before the crypto-peak. I can't quickly find back the link though, and it's late already  Is this still an active campaign? If it's not, no need to bother. The fact that there was one its enough for me. Most of the signature campaigns require a to wear an avatar and personal text as well, so i guess there won't be many with just avatars. Let's see. Btw, Foxpup's mocking (CH) avatar camping is it a public one or just specific individuals are allowed to enter? |

I've seen a lot of people looking for to rent out their avatars, personal texts and websites. I never seen a campaign like that so i would like to ask if anyone knows such campaign(s) let me know and I'll start listing them here Thanks to BTCappu we have an example of what I wanted to do. Seems like the OP from the link is not online for more than 700 days now so it's time to take over.
Seems like there are no active, or more precisely, publicly active avatar campaigns, that is why I think it is best to lock this thread with an option to open it later, when/if something new comes up. In the mean time, if you have information about any available avatar campaigns, please shoot me a PM. Thanks to the ones who posted good info here |

Doesn't copying another member's reply count as plagiarism?
I meant that they are very similar but not a direct copy/paste, it's more like a text spinner used which the plagiarism bot won't detect. They surely can be reported as plagiarism. |

~ Looks like suchmoons reporting bot is not longer active Activate it from time to time again suchmoon. ~ They are not really plagiarism, the links are different but the publisher is the same based on this code at the end of the link a=GELe3POa69. There is another bot who reports links and string patterns but I have not send him the code, I guess because they could be reported manually. I still think that his bot is working ^. |

Let me take some work off LoyceV's back, I think he already have enought I have archived the whole thread here > http://archive.fo/pQzQOGood work man,we need more people like you around. What shall we do after we make a connection between them? NegTag them or report them for ban? I guess you will find the same accounts posting here as well. |

Oh I remember this one, publish0x was (and maybe still is) a platform paying for articles and somebody decided to spam the forum with his links. I wonder what will happen now, back then the posts were reported and I think only deleted (seems like not all of them). Situation probably didn't change much since then. I'd love to hear what the mods think on that one? How it will be handled this time? Sh!t man, out of sMerit, Please someone send 1 merit from me, the guy has to rank up to Hero in month or two  @Theymos when MS?? |

I would have never thought that the Bitcoin forum would start accepting Altcoins for payments related to the forum. Afaik, transactions involving the forum were so far being completed solely with the use of BTC.
Then you will be more surprised to know that theymos is actually supporting one other altcoin, - the best altcoins out there and made a lot of people rich. He posted the ANN thread in the altcoins section himself as the only BitcoinTalk-endorsed ICO, just check it out. There are many surprising things happening on the forum. Sorry guys, I had to do it. |

It's value is based on what bitcoin is:
It' is virtual, like your money in your plastic card.
It's useful - You can transfer it to everyone and have no restrictions like when creating a bank account for example, you need almost nothing to own bitcoin, just piece of paper is enough.
PoW - You have to actually do some work in order to create one, investing electricity and CPU power. It's not coming from the tin air.
It's unique - you can't fake it, you can't manipulate it, you can't cheat.
It gives you anonymity - no one is messing with what is yours.
It gives you possibilities - you can pay with in a shop, order stuff online, trade with it.

Merit selling is not a big issue just because you won't be able to rank up more than member without being spotted. You have a really high chance of loosing the account together with the investment you made when buying merit. If it's just to participate in bounties, that you are not so harmful for the community, of course you cheated your way up which is not nice, but you can't go any further up without consequences. If 1 merit cost 20$ then you need to spend a bit more than 1 BTC just to rank up from Hero to Legendary, I don't think anyone will make such investment only for ranking up. Prices are ... 5000$ to rank up to Hero , 3000$ to rank up to Sr. Member, 1800$ to rank up to Full member 180$ to rank to Member. So I saved myself 31680$ just earning my meirt for free Here's 2 more from me!  Too bad you need activity, not merit, to advance to Legendary.. I really hope you're going to rank up soon enough - you really deserve it. If someone's stupid enough to pay $20 for 1 merit which could be earned by simply posting a helpful thread/reply on the forum, they deserve their loss so let them be. They'll take down with them the members who've sent them merit too as they'd all become suddenly suspicious, so it's a win situation for us. From what I've seen, those users who can't rank up due to lack of quality posting will give up in the end. Merit is such a good measure to stop them but I wish it wasn't a requirement for the top members like you and LoyceV Mobile to rank up. Thanks for the merit, but you really need to send it to someone who could really use it and need them to actually rank up. I have no where to go any higher so basically those merits are just for prestige, and kind of a lost ones. Back to to the OP, I have not received any answer to my question even tho the guy was online some hours ago. This kind of shady behavior is exactly what I expected, the whole case is a bit fishy. Let's wait and see how it will go. |

Bump An update needed here ^ I was at some point working on this, and it's the reason I added the Merit sum to my Merit history viewer, but I didn't have the time to finish it. Instead, I've just ranked up several users since then Oh man,don't you already have enough projects on your head? Don't bother to start a new one |

After ruining some time my bitcoin full node came the moment to install the Lightning node as well. I had to restart the bitcoin Node to find the new bitcoin.conf file, then I noticed in the debug.log that there are some refused connections. 2020-02-04T12:19:08Z socket send error An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

2020-02-04T12:27:29Z socket recv error An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. (10054) The internet connection is stable, there should be no issues there. If this keeps going like this I'll route the node trough another ISP to see if those errors still persist. The node is still syncing transactions with the blockchain after the restart (thanks to txindex=1 option)so I guess this is why I'm getting a Eclair error. No such mempool transaction eclair blockchain transactions are still in the progress of being indexed,.. bla bla Saw in the Eclair.conf that there's a port 8332, I guess i have to open the port in firewall, like for the bitcoin port 8333, right? eclair.bitcoind.rpcport=8332 Running the last version of Eclair- 0.3.3 |

No matter what arguments you have against it, seems like more and more people adopting off-chain payments as a solution for quick and cheep transactions. This can be only positive thing for bitcoin in general, which can lead to a bit more mass adoption. It promise to solves the big taxation problem for countries like USA, this will be a big advantage and hopefully more merchants can start adopting crypto as alternative payment.

Considering how many people use bitcoin 11000 is not that big number i though it should be at least 30k. That's why im running one full node 24/7 for a few monts now and i'm planning to set up sometime soon a second one. We need decentralization. |
