201  Other / Meta / Re: Merit system is not working, failed! on: February 06, 2018, 04:30:57 PM
This system closely resembles other forums and rewards those who make useful posts. But I think it will not work out that only half of the Merit you get turn sMerit. A section like ours that for now does not have anyone with the ability to generate sMerits and it can be difficult for someone to achieve this privilege (and few people will probably), it may be that one hour the system becomes saturated and it is difficult for someone to have sMerits to donate. There could be a daily or monthly quota of sMerits for distribution, which would increase according to Rank, to avoid Merits trading.

It is important to note, however, that the introduction of newer coins coupled with cryptocurrencies’ extreme volatility may result in a change in the current market situation; the top 10 cryptos last year may not be the biggest coins now. Nonetheless, with some research and most of all, patience, chances are you’ll do well if you invest in some decent altcoins and hold them for a while instead of panic selling and berating yourself for not buying Bitcoin instead every time your coins dip.
203  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: EOS and ADA, Or is there another option? on: February 06, 2018, 04:11:21 PM
Currently the EOS token is just an ERC20 token. That's right, people are not trading on the EOS blockchain. From what I gathered about EOS it just looks like a framework for building blockchain based web-apps. In my opinion, it is going to be vaporware. Or if not vaporware, only useful for very specific applications. Just by watching videos about EOS you can mostly see it is 90% hype 10% technology. It will not be groundbreaking in the same way Cardano could be. But again take this with a grain of salt. I'm a pretty big cardano fan boy. I think cardano is actually building something that could be the low level protocol used by all blockchains in the future.

No matter what is going on in the market just stay calm and hodl.....the entire alt coin market is down... nothing but red

It only becomes difficult when you sell your coins out of a panic. If you think: "Oh my god, I have to sell fast so that I even get something!". Then you actually lose. But if you just sit back, let some time pass, and look at the courses again in a week or two, maybe in a month or two, you'll realize that this "crash" was not a loss for you. So stay calm, sit back, relax and do not worry. Just wait and be patient. Where darkness is, there is light.

Let's start at the beginning. You may have heard many things about what a cryptocurrency is, but you may still be searching for an understandable definition. I hear ya, I was in the same boat for a long time. Instead of getting too technical, here's the easiest way to think about cryptocurrencies:

Go to Ripple....Ripple coin seems to be having a lot potential. And it seems like it can be purchased for the low cost right now. not sure how many people would be into this. but it seems like the alt coin such as that. it can be one good option for the conversion of the investment.

Ripple is a currency that will grow a lot in the future because:

1-Payments are cheaper: since Ripple does not belong to anyone, the cost of transactions decreases.

2-Payments are faster: Because transactions are automatic, complex transactions can take place in seconds
207  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Who is next ?? on: February 05, 2018, 05:45:12 PM
I like to risk, I would invest in...........

Aragon (ANT) :Aragon ran a very successful ICO, which at the time was the 4th largest crowdfunding event in history, and the second largest in the blockchain space with only ‘The DAO’ raising more than Aragon’s $25 million. Essentially, it is a platform for creating decentralized organizations. Given its ICO success and functionality, the ANT is sure to rise in 2018.

Stox (STX): Moving further down the market cap rankings, Stox is a prediction market platform.

Diw (DIW) : DIW plans to introduce a global directory where account holders, be it individuals or organisations, will be able to list their services and expand their reach. The directory will feature a smart rating system increasing trust and transparency between account holders

In the weeks leading up to the Chinese New Year, the market drops because the Chinese are pulling out their money for the New Year. The Chinese New Year is like “Christmas, New Years and Thanksgiving all rolled into one.” I hope that the bitcoin price to turn around and go back up again.
209  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ripple Price Prediction: Clues That Point to an XRP Renaissance on: February 05, 2018, 05:26:38 PM
The ripple will not go down. Because XRP has a clear use case. It is one of the largest digital assets by market capitalization. It is designed for use by financial institutions as an on-demand liquidity solution for cross-border payments. For example, payments into emerging markets can require multiple currency traders — added costs — or pre-funded local currency accounts — which often results in the trapped capital. Instead, payment providers and banks can use XRP to fund these payments on demand, without intermediaries, at up to 60% less cost to settle
210  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: South China morning post on ban on: February 05, 2018, 05:24:15 PM
Beijing’s tougher stance – which effectively bans all forms of activity related to digital currencies – aims to put the breaks on the ICO and virtual-currency trading mania that has been sweeping China. The frenzy among retail investors led to huge price volatility and several reported incidents of fraud, causing a headache for regulators increasingly worried about social unrest.
211  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is going on? on: February 05, 2018, 05:17:53 PM
Last year people were buying up Bitcoin even with their credit cards and other forms of debt. While this is easily seen as a bad idea, for the person doing it, it is also a danger for Bitcoin. There have been many financial crashes and bubbles in markets that have begun with people getting foolish in their buying and investing.The long-term prospects for Bitcoin are better off, even if the price is lower, without such investors. Again, this harks back to the dotcom bubble where the hype around such companies caused it to pop. But once that bubble had popped, the ecosystem grew back bigger and better, as there is no saying that the Internet and dotcom space are dead in 2018.

Yeah exactly and you  must need to obey the rules as far as you are here, however you are free to express your opinion.

But it will be better that instead of roaming around the forum to seek the sympathy and justice, try to prove yourself by gaining the merits through constructive posting.
Merit system is well organized and I didn't find any deficiency yet, so stop creating more threads about the merit system flaws.

I agree with you.

However I only made a single post (this post). I have not done several posts in the forum looking for justice or sympathy. It was only 1 single expression post.

Thank you very much for your words, I will adapt to the new reality.
213  Other / Meta / Re: Merit System Introduction / Rank Change on: February 05, 2018, 05:18:38 AM
Nope, it is you who is confused and clueless about what "right" means and what "privilege" means. Right now the admin can ban you for no utter reason apart from the fact that he has had gas today and was particularly feeling bipolar. He wouldn't do it, cuz he's not like that, but he could if he wanted to. This is HIS site. He does not owe you an explanation. You getting to use this place is a privilege. Instill that in your brain.

No, look at the examples:

Private company: I registered with a company and was accepted as an employee. The company is private and has owner. I have the right to work because I was accepted. But I can be fired by the owner of the company for no reason. I have the right to work in the same way that the owner has the right to resign me at any time without any explanation.

Bank Account: I made a registration and opened an account with a private bank. I have the right to deposit money into my account and make transfers. Even following the bank rules, the bank has the right to close my account without any reason at any time.

The site is private, and has owner. It works the same way. There are rights, not privileges.

Where you live ? In Mars ?


What the hell are you talking about? All the private messages are private and what you "post" publicly is only visible. Please learn the differences.

Most of the messages are public and are visible by google. On the internet there are forums that are totally private and you need to be logged in to view all messages. You have to learn the differences.

No, you do not. You may use the forum as long as the people running this place allow you to do so. There is no regular banning here unlike other forums otherwise you'd be kicked out of the forum just because you mentioned a couple of blacklisted words on your post (go join Thebitcoinpub lol)

Wrong. You may follow the rules. But that does not guarantee you the right to use this forum.

I have the right to use it, as the owner has the right to ban me as well. The owner can kick me out for no reason. This can happen in any company, bank, industry, and in any area of the private sector. I demonstrated this in the examples.

huh? You have the right to not agree to your own opinion?? Look into the grammar there a bit. But yeah, you have a right to opinion. However, this post started as a question. that followed in the tone of WHY WAS THIS DONE? and my answer to that has been QUIT WHINING AND READ THE OTHER POSTS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN MADE AND ATTENDED TO.

I'm gonna stop replying now cuz if you don't get it yet, you would never get it and I don't have that patience.

I wrote that you had the right not to agree with my opinion.
I did not ask any questions and I did not use the word why.
I just expressed my opinion and said that the system needed to be reviewed. But I respect the decision to change rank.
Feel free to get away. The world and real life will teach the differences to you. You will learn the hard way. Good Lucky lol.

This has to be one of the most absurd points anyone has ever made.
This forum is not a "public property" it is a private undertaking and NO you DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO USE THIS FORUM. It is your choice that you are using this forum and it is a privilege that you are getting to post here. If you do not like the rules set forth by the developers and the owners, then feel free to leave! This forum is not here to cater to an individual. Much less an individual like you who is failing to see the point.
The developers, the owners here set the rules, this forum is a labour of THEIR hard work. So THEY HAVE THE RIGHT to decide how it's users would use this place. Its not for your own good, it's for the good of the forum that these changes are made. Whether it hurts you individually is not even in the same consciousness of people making such these decisions. Either adapt or leave.

And no, you are not making an opinion post, you are asking WHY these changes were made when clearly, the same question has been asked and answered thousands of times. The very fact that you could not use the search function here to dig out useful relevant posts about the matter is proof of the fact that how full of garbage this place has become.

Don't get me wrong, I am not being sanctimonious. I too would love to have a hundred alts farming this place for what it's worth. But since I do not, I have to take a stance on whether or not to support a change that improves my individual experience of using this forum with an individual account.

You confuse right with privilege, the forum is private (although you do not need to be logged in to view your messages, your posts are publicly accessible by google), such as a club, an association, or a company. In a company there are a set of rules, norms and regiments that are the basis of its laws (sets of duties and rights). As I said before, all registered users in the forum are required to follow a set of established rules, which are our duties as members, if I comply with all the rules and duties, I gain the right to use the forum, not a privilege, like in a club, company, church,association...etc. Any public person can sign up, there are no restrictions, there is no selection process, you just have to follow the rules, and following the rules you have the right to use the forum. This is my opinion and you have the right not to agree with it, or would it be the privilege of not agreeing? lol

I made an opinion post yes, I just wrote my point of view (a simple right of expression, which confuses you with privilege), I did not ask anything in any of my answers, I did not offend anyone and I did not ask you to say if I should leave the forum (this is my personal decision). I hope you respect that.

I respect the decision of the forum (rank system change), although I do not agree with it. I simply expressed my opinion, did not disrespect anyone and follow the rules. I have not failed to see your point of view, my point of view is different from yours, I respect your point of view, but I am not obliged to agree with it, do not get me wrong.

Thank you for your attention

Because, even the fact that you get to earn from this place; is a matter of privilege, not a right. Get over it. No one owes you any explanation about why everyone cannot earn from here as easily as before. However, the people who were behind the decision have made their stance clear about it. And the reasons have been discussed for numerous times already.

All registered users in the forum are required to follow a set of established rules, which are our duties as members, if I comply with all the rules and duties, I gain the right to use the forum, not a privilege. Users as moderators, donors, and developers can be classified in the privilege category because they can do things that normal members can not do. I did not ask for explanation to anyone, I just expressed my opinion. Do not worry and thank you for the attention
216  Other / Meta / Re: Merit System Introduction / Rank Change on: February 02, 2018, 03:10:04 AM
I did not think it fair to change who changed the ranking just in the week of implementation of this new system. The merit should be proportional to the number of user activity, for example I have activity to be a full member (126) but I was awarded 10 merits , and a user with 60 activity earned the same number of merits (10) as me. This is not fair, it needs to be reviewed

IMO users like you, who whine without actually reading what's already written and discussed here a thousand times, should never be allowed to take part in any signature campaign. I mean seriously! Read the hundred other posts about the issue and enlighten yourself. Also, this forum is run by Theymos and his associates. Do not like how this place is run? Feel free to leave.
Merit is a privilege, not a right.

I am expressing my opinion. I'm glad that at least ... Opinion is a right, not a privilege. Why should not I be allowed to participate in any signature campaigns? I have always been responsible and I have always followed the rules of all the work I have done here and this has no relation to the system of change of rank. And lastly, getting out or staying is my decision, I do not need any influence, but thanks for the concern.

220  Local / Português (Portuguese) / Re: Novo sistema de reputação do Bitcointalk (Merit) on: January 30, 2018, 10:01:35 PM
Eu ainda não consigo perceber se gosto ou não. O que sei é que fiquei "entalado" quando este sistema entrou em funcionamento. pois estava a 2 posts do ranking de full member e fiquei a ver navios porque o sistema não previu a atribuição de merit de início em proporção aos posts já existentes.

Como não posto à maluca, não consegui o ranking. Se o tivesse feito, estava agora como full member. que vantagem é que tive em ser um membro que não faz posts ao desbarato.... nickles......

Assim fiquei agarrado com um merit de recém promovido a Member (10) quando estava na semana que podia e ia passar a full member e tenho andado a trabalhar para chegar a 100, no dia de são nunca...

Já apelei para um moderador anglófono que dizia que ia dar algum do mérito dele por causa dessas situações mas até agora nickles.

Se querem saber o que eu realmente acho desse sistema é que quando há dinheiro a rolar quem manda protege-o.


Com os bounties e com vista a manter melhores stakes os hero e legendary members protegeram-se. IMHO.


Se o problema era dos novos users que entraram nestas últimas semanas/dias resolvessem o problema aí e não nos membros intermédios.

Porque quem anda lá por cima no ranking isso não afeta nada e passam a dar merit a quem lhes apetece. Vão fazer claques de cheerleaders por aqui....

Concordo com você , quando vi essa mudança na hora pensei "estão mudando as regras do jogo kkk ". Eu frequento mais a parte gringa do forúm e era engraçado os hero e legendary members dizendo que não se incomodavam com os novos usuários .... como se eu acreditasse nisso  Grin. Estou prestes a ser full member também e não sei se vou receber esses merits.
