Not sure, but all these responses/current activity and message "This user's password was reset recently." in your trust summary  is pointing to account sales.

Then you can start your merit awarding thread, in which you can limit the user to give only 2 best post to review during a week.
Since "Joe" signature less challenge is in suspended state so you can run a one. (or both can run together.)

Buddy, it looks like you are also  holding  your smerits. Same is somewhat true for me.

But I have some reasons for not sending them.

1.)  I was thinking to award Merits to some worthy newbie and  Junior Members only, but the way forum scrutinize every Merit, I dropped the idea.
(Because if I give Merit to user X   and by chance that user X gave me a back merit or he is found scammer/alt account /or shit poster, then it will put my account in danger. I thought of awarding them in some kind of fair challenge but as of now it is in hold.)

Edit: Did you checked the mathematical validity of your idea?. If I go through your idea, If I have 4 smerits, I will send 4 Merit to user X, As I am sending 4  merit, I will get +2 merit (4 * .5) and (1 sMerit ,  as virtue of receiving of 2 merit).  Now Mr. X has +4 merit and +2 smerit, if this Mr. X  give back 2 Merit, Now I will have +2 Merit more (In total +4 Merit) and  1 sMerit more (In total 2 smerit)

Now 4 smerits (For me) converted to +4 Merit and 2 smerits.
For X  ,it converted to   +4 merit +1 Merit (by giving back merits)  + .5 smerits.

In short, 4 sMerits will generate 9 Merits and 2.5 sMerits , This system will cause very high inflation of Merits and cannot be recommended at all.

I think almost all country in world have statutory warning on cigarette packets (without any  bans)

Reason: You are old enough to use your discretion. 

Advertising of phun.io is same case when board is giving you fair warning.  Forum/Theymos need to remove there advertisement, if the services advertised  by them is false or they are not as advertised.

It is already pinned post in Meta, How eager we are in asking the question without searching. Anyway please lock this now.

Is Meta is on your Ignore Board preferences?  You will find on average of 2 threads with Merit talking and if you read them then you have already have your answer.

Most easiest way to get Merit:

Go through the list of the these user and ask yourself what extra skill/or what extra  that they did or doing ?  If you able to do things better than them then merits will be easier for you. (might be you need to acquire some new skills).

There is one popular adage as below:
There ain't no such thing as a free lunch

and I will convert it for you as ==> There ain't no such thing as a easy/free Merit.

This is shell script, Shell has many version and first line of code "#!/bin/<shell type> is to  tell to which type of shell is used to execute that script.
The most  famous shell are korn shell (ksh) and bash shell (shell). Although unix scripts can execute in all shells but some commands (very small list) are very specific to that shell type so we need to give shell type in accordance.

Otherwise "#" is used to comment in unix (if it is not first line in script and it is first character of that line).

Even I get offer of 10 BTC, I am not going to give this information.

Add this one also in collection.

Mastering Bitcoin 2nd Edition - Programming the Open Blockchain   by Andreas M Antonopoulos

If somebody do not want to purchase the book , then free edition is also available in the github.

If true then it is serious question on email server security.
But EOS ICO investors are really stupid to send their private keys? Everybody is taught that they are not supposed to share private keys.
Since EOS is a token and somebody shared the private key then it will result in loss of all the tokens in wallet not only EOS.

I remember to read some earlier post of Pharmacist  in which I felt some disdain against the investment on metals/precious metals.

Gold is not getting used in laptop and computers only but also in smartphones and TVs . The gold used in these devices is not recoverable and it make around 10%  of the total demand of gold. There is still too much scope in the expansion of the  smartphone industry so this demand will go up and remember this  amount of gold is lost (deflation). There are other industry uses of gold (like medicine, aerospace etc.) but they do not make a significant portion.

But main point is that  50% gold is used in jewelry  making and I found something that will make your mind that gold is not a very good investment.

"A hundred years ago, gold sold for just $20 per ounce. In recent years gold has traded between $1,200 and $1,900 per ounce. That’s a huge move up in nominal terms over the past century. Yet in real terms gold prices today aren’t much different from what they were when they were last quoted at $20 an ounce.

It’s not that gold has become so much more expensive. It’s that the currency in which gold prices are quoted has depreciated so much. (The U.S. dollar has lost nearly 97% of its value since the Federal Reserve was created in 1913.) "

If you read your quoted article again, you will find they are strengthening the points that I  made.

1. " how and why it will took a decade and a lot of source and hard-work to build a Successful Quantum Computer. He said “This is really, really hard, way harder than building a classical computer,”.  "   ==> This excerpts from article strengthen my "first" point.

2.  NSA announced in 2015 that it is going to develop a anti Quantum Cryptographic System.  ==> A vague hint to my Third point that we can be still secure

3.But it is said that when the Quantum computer is available for everyone it will cost you millions of dollars. For example : D-Wave 2000Q cost around 15 Million USD   ==> Directly strengthening my second point.

In short , this article strength my belief that we are not in any kind of immediate danger and if some danger come, we will have some alternatives then

If I got you right, then it means the final destination of all GOOD token will be shopomy app instead of exchange.

But only thing now puzzle me how the shopomy accounts are getting created with GOOD$. It means some token should be burned when a account is created. Otherwise creating a shopomy account/or  rewards distribution/ bounty in shopomy app is just creating a additional wealth (i.e inflation).

I will re write my  old post.(unable to quote as topic is locked)


Many big compaines already started/investing/invested on the blockchain technology. Below link provide the list of major companies:
https://interestingengineering.com/these-20-companies-are-placing-big-bets-on-blockchain-technology

But this list is not all inclusive as there are many companies I know (from my friends) that are already implementing/implemented the Blockchain based solutions.
R3 Corda already created the the distributed ledger financial service (that goes way back to 2016) and they are partnered with more than 60 companies. (that is way back to Nov 2017).

So it already attracted the companies and investors and this will going to expand much further.


Blockchain is very secure and distributed and can be configured as per need.

I saw lot of advertisement of Palm beach group where they talk about profit more than 1000, 7000 or some insane amount in %.
Just curious is anybody in this forum is subscribed to them that can give an honest opinion.

Did somebody really got benefited from their research. I saw some people saying they recommended NEO when it is under 50 cents but this is only one example.

There advertisement looks red flag to me because a retired teacher, who lost  all savings is subscribing to them (somebody who has lost savings and no income is subscribing to $3000++ service looks very suspicious to me.) and made insane gains.

A old granny that is subscribed to $3000+ service is just investing a$300 in which she made gains.(A second red flag, when you are so wealthy to subscribe  to that reports but you are so poor that you are just investing $300).

Any subscriber in this forum that can really back up their authenticity?

I do not find it threat to bitcoin.

First , Quantum Computers are not fully developed for any practical purpose.
Second, Even if they are developed, I do not think they will be available to common people. (The cost of quantum computer might be too high.)
Third, Instead of breaking the codes, might be they can be used to create more sophisticated and secure codes.

I think you should move your post to the below board there will be better chances of finding someone.
Project Development
Services


Since you are already disclosing your wealth, I will say beware of spammers now.

Just wondering , how come robustness index of ether come greater than BTC when there hash rate is less than BTC?

For somebody coming outside of the network need to bring  102% of hashrate.
If network has 100 machine/miners, then outsider need to bring 102 machine/miners so that more than 51%  (102/202) share in network can be gained to execute the attack.

Before I start to read your article, Below image in your article caught my attention.



(picture: roger ver chearleading for bitcoin cash)


First, the correct word is " Cheerleading " not chearleding.
Second, He is making  "Fuck off" sign , not any cheerleading sign.

I immediately come in conclusion , your research is very poor (just by seeing one image) and decided to discard your article without even reading it.
