It begin on Q4 2018.

And we obey the law.

Residents on countries which ban ICO could not buy our ICO, for instance, United State.

You have to wait at least three years...and it happens at the end of the year

Don't just guess instead provide some info why you think prices may go up in next two months. Every one wants prices to go so that they can make a quick profit but markets need some reasons to go up. Currently, no good news to market and most of the governments thinking to put regulations on exchanges which actually made new investors scary so currently a demand for cryptos is not that high and I don't think in next two months time it will change drastically.

In addition to activity, everyone now has a merit score, and you need both a certain activity level and a certain merit score in order to reach higher member ranks. The required scores are:

Rank	Required activity	Required merit
Brand new	0	0
Newbie	1	0
Jr Member	30	0
Member	60	10
Full Member	120	100
Sr. Member	240	250
Hero Member	480	500
Legendary	Random in the range 775-1030	1000

You get merit points when someone sends you some for one of your posts. Additionally, when someone sends you merit points, half of those points can be sent by you to other people.

Certain users are designated as "merit sources". They can create new merit out of nothing, up to a limited number per month (which differs per source). I will not be posting a definitive list of merit sources (so that people don't bug them too much), though you'll soon figure out who they are if you pay attention.

There is currently no such thing as a "demerit". I'm hoping that the positive merits alone will be fine. I could add demerits pretty easily later on if necessary, though.

I'm hoping that this system will increase post quality by:
 - Forcing people to post high-quality stuff in order to rank up. If you just post garbage, you will never get even 1 merit point, and you will therefore never be able to put links in your signature, etc.
 - Highlighting good posts with the "Merited by" line.

While we will not be directly moderating this, I encourage people to give merit to posts that are objectively high-quality, not just posts that you agree with.

Do not beg for merit excessively.

Useful infographics

Forum users have helpfully created some infographics to explain the merit system:
paxmao's infographic
ibminer's infographic
8Habits's infographic
JetSet11's infographic
zentdex's infographic
alia_armelle's infographic

If you want to be a merit source:

 1. Be a somewhat established member.
 2. Collect TEN posts written in the last couple of months by other people that have not received nearly enough merit for how good they are, and post quotes for them all in a new Meta thread. The point of this is to demonstrate your ability to give out merit usefully.
 3. We will take a look at your history and maybe make you a source.

I am especially eager to have merit sources in sub-communities such as the local sections.

Trivia:

For current members, your initial merit score is equal to the minimum required to your rank. Of that, a certain amount (less than the usual half) is spendable. The spendable amount was calculated based on your current rank and the number of activity points you earned in the last year. A Legendary member who hasn't posted in the last year would still be Legendary, but would not have any spendable merit.

If someone sends you 1 merit, the 0.5 sMerit is not wasted; it is just not shown until you get another merit point.

There are stats here, and you can find someone's merit summary by clicking the "merit" link on their profile.

This is also what I think about bitcoin. Once bitcoin goes up, other altcoins that have a good future will follow as well. There will be red days as well but I think it will not take that long like the green days.

Hey guys! I wanted to ask you, how do you collect data for the twitter reports during bounty campaigns where you participate? I mean links to your tweets and retweets, and date of this tweets for example. Do you collect data manually, or you use some automatic services?

I don't recommend where to invest instead I would like to say that don't invest all your BTC into altcoins and ICO's. Because once Bitcoin starts moving up all these altcoins will go down and you may miss the chance to buy back bitcoin at right time. So you should hold more than 50% of your investments in Bitcoins and another part you can diversify into altcoins and in some good ICO's.

If you believe that you have quality posts for all 20 of your most recent posts then I will review them and if I agree I will give you 14 merit.

Sr. Members and below only.

However. if I heavily disagree I will add a neutral feedback to your account indicating that you are a spammer.

The cryptocurrency market have experienced almost 5 months of decline.
And there is no clear sign of recovery.
