The only reason that makes Bitcoin better than Ethereum is its price. But other aspects Ethereum is much better. If you we're be able to compare the progression of Bitcoin to Ethereum it is obvious that the growth and utilization of Ethereum is much better. Many platforms are just now accepting Bitcoin that's why it has the upper hand, thus making its price very high. But when it comes to exchange and whatnot, Ethereum has the advantage. For example the ICOs, they are mostly based on Ethereum.

I'm not trying to be bad or anything, but that's just plain cleverness. I mean, since the higher ranks don't really give too much attention to the lower ranks. So by sharing merits to other members that are the same rank as yours will help yourselves.

But on the other hand, maybe those members that wanted to share merits wanted to recognize members that are really worthy of receiving Merit(s).

Indeed it is. But bear in mind that this is just a mere stepping stone. So use this or take advantage on this to get to the real deal. And that is by trading different cryptocurrencies. By then you will now engage into more serious management of your wallets, coins, and monitoring of the prices throughout the cryptos.

Its already happening in some countries, especially in the first world countries.

Well to attain this status, the country's economy comes first. They need to have a very stable and not that far to the average exchange to other currencies. Second is security, they must have a security that will ensure the safety of their money when they will entrust it to any bank inside that country.

So the cards and other items that can be used in buying items that will allow them to purchase things that do no really require paper money.

If those members remains in their current its because, they're not making posts that other people find very helpful or informative. Therefore, even if you construct a great post you still need some a little bit of skill in making posts. May that be proper grammar, some images, infographs, etc.

Merit is important in way not only for you to rank up, but also because by earning merit it reflects that you're good at what you're doing; you're being helpful and informative.

If you really wanted to rank up, don't just rely on other people giving away Merit, you really need to step up your game.

Time has the real value. Did you know that back then, currency doesn't exist, so money don't really have value; though time have been the most underrated thing in the world. I know we have to be patient and do things at the right time, but also keep in mind that time can't turn things back, so if you wanted to do something and you always wanted to do it, don't hesitate, you might regret it afterwards.

If you use your time efficiently, I would say you're going to be successful in whatever you're doing.

This is not pretty much a lengthy one huh.  


Even if that's the case, again education is not enough. We NEED deeper than education, that is consciousness - psychological approach. They have to realize whether if they're being deceived at that moment. Performing sales talks, even con arts.


Ok. Why not just give support or suggest this to existing organizations that are by the way have the reputation and the people to get the job done.


By ensuring justice you mean all of them, right? Well, I must admit your idea is not impossible to do and quite impressive (I mean that in a good way).
But I'm sure that one group belonged to a much larger group of people. An organization, a syndicate of some sort.

There are many things to really have to consider here. And to the fact that this is a private organization, for sure the government will not just sit still and approve of this instantly, they will be intrigue and to the point that this is in the global scale, not to mention that there are already agencies like this.

These special task force units will be questioned. This is also a political matter, what if they will consider you as a threat and not a help.


I'm not surprise. I know, there are people that are willing to help. But you have to consider the boundaries.


Believe me, deception is a powerful skill. And they are bringing them to justice by those existing agencies or organization regarding the same matter. But its sad to tell that even white hat hackers are also considered to be brought to justice (not all of them, there are some cases).

I'm not sure where you'd get all these raw data but if this is accurate as of 135, 369 members of the forum after a month.

Then, this is very helpful. As many participants also can check the stats of the Merit System and its effectiveness so far.

Now, to those people that are complaining that the System is not moving - there you have it.

Then they should fix this issue. Its irreversible and sMerits are very significant.

I may not be the only one who've experienced the same case.

This was suppose to be just 2 sMerits, but for some reasons unknown this happened.



Is this some kind of bug? Considering that I've accidentally sent another 2 x 2 sMerits, knowing that this is irreversible.

EDIT: You can check it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=964525

I don't know about you mate, but you're being naive right now.

These kinds of people are just into the money, they don't care about anything else as long as their satisfactions are sustained.

International non-profit organization, nice name, but who would bother do that. Besides, if we say international, we also have to consider the consent of other countries and to be honest that's a very low chance. And so you think that they will give it a shot somehow, it would take a lot of time.

1. Its like training a hacker here or an investigator. I wonder who would be interested in that, considering that countries already take measures in those cases.

2. Again, people won't be as good as those people that are specialized to do this. Besides, it would take a lot of time. You're not going to find them that easy.

3. Talk about international laws, if we have one. It depends on the country to where they belonged to. If they committed a crime (which is scamming people), the authorities who have the power to arrest people whatever country they are in. Some agencies like, Interpol or FBI, they are specialized in these kinds of stuffs.

The truth is, you can just ignore it. You don't even have to list it on your 'Ignore Board'.

If you don't like it there then just don't go there, simple as that.

No need to protest.

Since there's a lot of altcoins, it is obviously going to be crowded.

Money is everything practically speaking, but that doesn't mean we're greedy - like you've said.

Everything you've said was by far the most commendable thing in this thread. Yes, we're talking about the sections in the Economics, Bitcoin Discussion, Gambling, etc. where most of the threads have 50~100 pages at least.

You should've created a thread about this. This would make an audience to everyone for sure. This would optimize the system if granted.

Mate, its a shame you're not that familiar with the current system. Dreadful you say? Well back at you mate, because you're being narrow minded and naive. The higher ups granted everyone the sMerits and wanted to monitor if they're really going to use it as what they would've hoped. But, as I can now, most of them are just wasting they're sMerits to those people that are not even worthy of having some. There's no sense of accomplishment here. As they will only feed those that are familiar to them and not extend to those people that are more capable of having quality posts, as the Admins intends to.

Of course, I'm not saying that it will be their obligation, but, it doesn't hurt if, whenever these managers reviews the posts of his/her participants, he/she would also come across with people who have quality in their posts. I might say it is a reward but its more like an incentive. A competition inside the Signature Campaign I par say.

Both fiat and cryptos are money, as stated, obviously both of them are currencies. Their differences are on much a deeper explanation or rather on another topic. They are not what they are just because people wanted it the way it should be. But instead, it was created the way how its going to be used.


Its a digital currency. Well obviously because its decentralized. What do you mean by the virtual aspect of money? Its still money, just another version of it.


What is this crap? Good thing that they've implemented the Merit System. Now we can distinguish people and to identify who're really deserving to rank up.

Well, in the past it has been used in the deep web, as its currency. Not to mention all of it is illegal. But since the currency that day is not as significant as now, we may have done the same. About the terrorists? I highly doubt that. True, because of the cryptos being volatile and decentralized, countries might either ban it or adapt it (most of those countries banned it).


The reason behind this frequent fluctuations is because of its volatility, as we know all the cryptos have this characteristic. We might think that this is a disadvantage but no, its the opposite, especially for Bitcoin.


Its not that they're not ready for this, just because of the economic state, its because the country wouldn't be able to gain profit from this as it is a decentralized currency after all.

Same here mate, it will be some time soon. We don't know what the future holds but, we know that Bitcoin can reach that. Those are just propaganda in order for people to not trust the Cryptos, well no one have ever trusted it, until now. Its not that they're against the innovation its just that they have to gain in this platform, so they will be forced to act accordingly.


Bitcoin doesn't really help other people, its you who makes the improvement onto yourself. Its your decision that makes you the way you are now. But we still need cash, as we don't reach that far enough.


Its not evolution, its innovation, there's a difference. Well it depends on how you will use it for you to be able to have benefits on it. It doesn't mean that its new, your just going to not care about the other stuffs that have been left behind.
