Pay-per-post is going to be fun, implemented retroactive, double for the Altcoin board.

Well, there's your problem You can't do that anymore with fees on the rise.

This user is linking (spamming) his own website in all his posts, he's not interested in any normal forum discussion.

Click the addresses on the left, you'll get https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1Dyii5mcN84QytY6FtVeuguDHNZG5rm2mY and https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/14qb9XtSjDeBnfQJUhwxBooLQQjJNQVwKn.
The last one has an unconfirmed input, and if you click on them again, you'll find a long chain of unconfirmed inputs.

It looks like you've been doing many small payments, like sending 721 Satoshi, while fees are rising. Basically, you're creating Bitcoin dust. Not only do you pay more fee than the dust is worth, the dust can't be used because it would require a higher fee than it's worth at the moment.

You may want to read Fees are low, use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs!

---

By clicking addresses on the right, you see the unconfirmed chain continues in that direction too. Can you explain how you make these transactions: is it a script or manual work?

---

---

There are several things you can (and probably should) do: use Bech32 addresses, bundle transactions, and set a minimum payment amount to prevent creating worthless Bitcoin dust.
If you really want to keep doing what you're doing, you can prevent a long chain of unconfirmed transactions by using different inputs. If you own more smaller inputs, you can spend coins from a new confirmed input instead of building a deeper chain of unconfirmed transactions. However, this is not the preferred solution.

It depends on the country you're in.

The Netherlands:

Malawi:

Haiti:

Russia:

I use my account LoyceBot in a different browser for convenience for counting campaign posts. If you have different campaigns with different requirements, you could just make a few more accounts so you don't have to adjust the list of ignored boards per campaign every week. A private browsing window and Captcha bypass code can help.

At the peak of the bounty/ICO hype, I've seen claims of users earning $2000 per month from basically spamming social media for bounties. That's significant in any country, and enough to make a very good living in most countries. It didn't last long for them, it must have lead to more competition, bounty spammers using more alt accounts, and the rest is history.

My signature pays a decent amount of money, but I don't need it. It's small compared to my cost of living. If I divide my "Total time logged in" by what I earned from this forum, it's not worth my time at all But money isn't the main reason for posting here. I'm not selling nor buying Bitcoin, I'm just in for the ride. I've said before that I like the ride up more, after which someone (probably in the WO-thread so there's no way to find back a quote) responded that the ride down is more thrilling.

I wouldn't mind making a living off the forum though, but so far I've only been able to hook temporary signature campaigns to manage (and they didn't pay that much).

---

---

I like to think of it from a different perspective too: the fact that this forum offers many opportunities to earn Bitcoin, and many people actually want it, is great for adoption.

See Bitcointalk.org collectible coin?

At first second try
I read it as stasti cian, but if you read fast, it's quite fitting

Let me fix mine

It takes a lot longer now to change than it did this morning. 1000+ posts breaking KYC

Triggered Verify, don't trust
I get these numbers, based on last Friday's Merit data dump:
Some users may have changed username after I scraped their names, so that could explain the small difference.

From what I've seen, I think there's some complicated math behind it.

You seem to be under the impression that theymos is the guy on the picture. You're mistaken, theymos is the bottle. The picture is real!

It's only scarce if you're not a source and don't receive many I've never been out of sMerit.

I would assume so too, but didn't want to risk my 400+ sMerit on it.

---

---

What if the real joke is the Merit system? Theymos has been planning this day since January 2018, and tomorrow the entire Merit system will be reset All back to 0 again

I may or may not have reported you for^* plagiarism too. I'm trying my best to sound like a text spinner now.

^* source

I'm not adding this. You want Newbie bounty spammers who don't read to read my topic, which tells them to read your topic, all because they don't read the topic they actually wanto to spam a bounty topic. That's a lot of reading they won't do.

April joke?
