Can't we develop some mechanism like Reddit or other forums where every user have equal right of voting on a post.
Already bitperson replied avobe. Bitcointalk was made overcome the problems of the cypto domain arrise due to lack of info where user can help each other.
Now it has become like a system of monarchy Where some members are behaving like a king and announcing like they are throwing food(merit) come and beg to them.
Do you mean to say that after announcement of merit people suddenly stop helping/stop replying to the other users question? For the people behaving like "King" you can safely ignore them so they do not bother you. If there could be a method to rate such post I should have down voted these posts. There is no way to resist if higher rank holders misused their positions.
Already have "Report to Moderator" button and If you look closely you will find example when legendary painted red and when Hero painted red for misleading.So higher rank do not make you immune. Earlier there were cases where higher raked member banned lowerone and sending them to btc address and asking for donation for removal of ban.
This is accusation without proof. That OP used word might and he is suspecting the merit trade and you have taken altogether a different meaning. Did you reported the people whom you suspect that they are engaged on merit trading? Pls save this forum...
I think I am finally in agreement with you.

Congratulation Man. Your merits are well deserved.

Coinbase transactions have no inputs; the outputs of the Coinbase transaction include the block reward (block subsidy + tx fees of all the transactions in the block)
Thanks for sharing the link of book. If I am correct then it means a single miner /mining pool get all the reward of finding the block and the transactions contained in it. Transactions are confirmed in block not as individual. So it is highly possible that someone producing low hash will not be able to find any block and get any transaction fees

I was going through some old thread , When I found below Bitcoins aren't stored anywhere because they don't exist.
This is actually correct. Apologies for the over-simplification. Bitcoins are indeed abstractions; they exist only in the form of ‘unspent transaction outputs’, UTXOs. Allow me to try to clarify with the help of a blockchain explorer: Actually I am bit confused with this quoted transaction as it is "No Inputs (Newly Generated Coins) ". I assumed that block reward for miner should contain all the transactions done in the block and not like that something generated without "Input". I also read somewhere that miner get the block rewards not instantaneously but after other 99 blocks added. Is this block reward is triggered by addition of the more 99 blocks afterwards? But still I think some input should be there if some unspent transactions are created.

KYC (Know your customer) is not a bad thing actually it help authorities in preventing Money laundering and anti social activities. (Because no body will create account of any anti social element in their organization.) But here the question, to whom should we hand our KYC documents? I do not think we should hand our KYC document to some people that we only knew by online forum and having no idea of their original identity. Remember 90% altcoins/ICO are created just to scam the people. I have no doubt that ICO/Altcoin developers are now using KYC to scam the bounty hunters too as it is evident from this thread. It is now up to an individual how comfortable the individual is sharing the documents with some unknown people for few dollars. PS: I did not take part in KYC of Polymath for free 250 tokens that I guess was worth $250 at that time.

Sirius, a.k.a. Martti Malmi, was the second Bitcoin developer after Satoshi and the founder of the Bitcoin Forum. He's not an active developer anymore, but continues to manage the domain names bitcointalk.org and bitcoin.org. Reference : https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/SiriusIf I combine everything in this thread and bitcoin wiki then it is obvious that "Cobra" is "Sirius"

Round 4: Notes & Critique
r1s2g3: This week, it seems as if you've taken a genuine interest into how the forums work especially with the merit features. It's a good thing, however, because you've chosen the opposite route of members that are just fishing for merits. Your posts are contributive, and you've definitely done a lot of research for many of them for this round! Great job! For the future, I'd love to see you take more of a direction of finding threads that have to do with Bitcoin and Altcoins, rather than just meta and merits. It was hard for me to critique you this week, as the majority of your posts were in those boards. Overall, however, great job. You're definitely above average.
Hi Joe , I will like to apply for 6th round. I filled the form but sheet is not updated. I was somewhat busy for last week (and might be for this week too) but still I like to apply. Thanks Joe, for your honest opinion.

Staff will be able to check the count of the distinct IP address registered in forum. That count will be the count of the distinct members. Can somebody give me an example where someone has 100 alts or even 30 alts?
PS: I do not have alt.

But if we have a public list of this merit sources they will have a doubt to abuse the merit because they are visible to the public and can be reported.
Why do you want to report Merit Sources only, if you are so interested in Merits then scrutinize every Merit given and received and report at below thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2896910.0.

I highly recommend you do leave your savings on those exchanges, as they are like double-risk. You have the risk associate with the exchange, and the risk associate with Tether.
I guess, you intend to say you do not leave your savings

If don't know why his Activity is not updating why don't just let him know you don't know, this type of comment just show your rudeness toward others and not helpful at all
I found his post absolutely delicious. Chemistry references and humor on bitcointalk bring out all sorts of funny feelings in me. As an aside, this is one thing I can't stand about bitcointalk. This guy Meretrix was trolling a little bit here, yes, but it's an attempt at angry humor, aimed at what he sees as an obvious problem--the massive influx of garbage-strewing noobs who really need a much earlier merit-blockade thrown up in their face. And it goes over like a lead balloon. Some people just need to get the sticks out of their asses. His post was better than most written in this thread, and you can bet that any forthcoming posts will be repeating the same dumb answer over and over by people who get paid by the character. Bravo, Meretrix. I don't have problem with humor but being total rude troll just distasteful and is that a joke at all, probably some tired rickshaw driver will pay for that cheap comedy, if he think thats a joke he need his head checked or otherwise someone will stomp on it. It is alt account of nullius. and I think you might be aware of his humor.

I would like to apply for this post. (making user aware to check the project is legitimate or not) Manna is distributed by the People’s Currency Foundation as a basic human right that every person in the world is eligible to receive, for free.
Swift is a digital currency disigned to provide basic income. Members receive basic income at the rate of 100 swifts per day.
Manna and Swift are claiming to give Basic income to all in world. They are giving there own printed crypto-currency not the actual currency . I think the value of Zimbabwean_dollar would be more than these crypto currencies. Do you saw any legit business model from them for generating income/money that they are distributing for free? What is the real worth of their currencies outside their ecosystem? I hope you did not shared any of your personal information to them in greed of free Basic Income.

Indeed a very long post OP, but I enjoyed it.I think you can cut short by keeping the explanations short. I have few more ideas for gaining Merit, if you agree, you can add it to your post. 1. Create something constructive like Good Infographics or something useful like this or that. 2. Merit Data analysis for ex. 1 and 2. 3. Keep an eye on giveaway threads. Last but not the least , Do not copy others articles/work for Merits or any reason

It was a tough call on this one, because two (and only two) of the posts made by Sudhik were actually pretty decent, and these might have deserved merit. This is why I was so on the fence when the merit system got implemented, about whether people should get tagged for merit trading. There's so much subjectivity involved, and if you look at my own received merits, you'd probably think I'm buying them from TMAN or Foxpup.
My strong opinion, though, is that anyone north of Antarctica who knows about bitcointalk knows how important merit is, and these shitposters know how valuable it is and don't hand it out willy-nilly. And it's a bit hard to believe that users like Sudhik and acha1217 would just exchange it like they did. I'm not saying it would be impossible, just improbable, and that's why I left my feedback.
I'd like to hear honest opinions from DT members here. If they think I've left my feedback in error I'll reconsider it.
I will say if you have a slight doubt in proving the guilt then give benefit of doubt.I am not the lawyer but I think law/lawmakers believe in Blackstone's formulation which simply state that It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.Circumstantial evidence can never be ignored and in fact the U.S. Supreme Court has stated that "circumstantial evidence is intrinsically no different from testimonial [direct] evidence so if you want to proceed the judgement on these evidences you are free to do so.

I have checked through my history and there arn't any binance look alikes. I remember thinking it wasn't the right address when it showed it but than i mistaking thought that it had generated me a new address but binance doesn't do that. I'm going to read through the other posts and try to get to the bottom of this. thanks all!!!
You are not the first one that observed this, we already have a thread for this. Since you are sure that site is indeed binance then your system might be affected by Coin RPG Malware or Faux Paste Malware. Some time back , I mentioned about this in one of my post 11. While copy pasting your wallet address , recheck the address that is pasted is same what you copied. (you might be affected by Coin RPG malware)
