You're so wrong, they still pay the same amount of it but this year has more bounty participants than last year and that affect the distribution of the coin's the more participant's the less value per stake that's the reason why I really hate those cheaters who's making too many different accounts and spam the bounty campaign's.

Aside from that joining or choosing bounty now is getting harder because of there are too many scam ICO's released this year.

After almost 7 months now of existence of merit system you still dont learn to love the forums system.

You are still complaining about this effective system and blaming it because you are not ranking up, 10 merit is not that hard to get how much more complain will come from you if you're on your way to "full member"?

If you will just learn to embrace the system you will surely rank up more than you expected.

Im telling you that I also start without having any free merit after the system implementation I also once complain about it but after all I realized that this system make's this forum more organized and challenging and I learned to love it. Just accept the fact that merit system will never be gone and only the strongest and loyal member's will stay.

Yes it is and it work's accordingly to the plan, those old forum member's already notice the good effect of the system. Most of the post now are in the mid quality unlike before.

Please accept the fact that this is not all about because of the name its because of the merit why member's want's to recover their old accounts.

There are lots of ways to at least get a similar name like your old account such as adding number and others.

Before, people dont bother to recover a "member" account because they dont give value to that rank but now we can clearly see the result of the merit system, day by day passing by it is getting more harder to get merit's at the same time there are account's getting banned because they dont obey the rules.

This is a good sign that BTT forum is getting more cleaner day by day.

By the way I still hope that you will recover your old account especially if you dont violate any of the forum rules.

It will be very helpful for those user who got locked account's without violation if this system already implemented.

Posting thread's like this are already used many time's just to complain about the merit system telling that your not against with it but you really are, you are not old member enough to prove that the system is wrong and you are right.

For me your opinion is wrong, some of them are watching those newbies who really contributes good things in this forum.

Im also once a newbie and we are just same that starts with 0 merit unlike any other old member of this forum if you really wants to rank up these suggestions may help you a lot:

-Improve your english language writing skill
-Read before asking or posting anything
-Stop complaining about merit

This year there are lots of ICO's proven that is a scam and some of the most trusted bounty manager get tagged because of them but I never saw or hear a news that those fraud ICO's have caught even 1 of them.

There are lots of victim's including those trusted bounty managers who also dont have any idea that its a scam, I think this will is a lesson for all of us We need to choose a right ICO to invest with also a lesson for those bounty manager to be more strict in choosing what project to promote, we cant blame anyone.

Whenever you are having trouble on something try to get screen shots about it after that when everything's back to normal post your problem with picture's of what exactly happen to be clear for everyone what happened.

Though if you open a wrong site or a phishing site as long as you didnt put your private key you dont need to panic but if you did transfering all your balance will be safer for you because you cant tell us what happened.

Here are some links posted in this forum might help you.

By the way please learn to post on the right section.

Sad to hear that bro, but still you can never expect on bounty unlike on a regular job.

Its not that impossible depend's on how dedicated you are on working in bounty campaign's, but put on your mind that not all bounty campaign succeed on their project's.
Before joining a campaign make sure that bounty you are joining has a good potential to succeed because its a
big waste of time if 12 weeks bounty dont pay you.

Try joining other bounties not only signature, Translation bounty is the biggest bounty you can earn but most of campaign's requires a porfolio.

No I dont trust their rating's and you are right they are so biased ranking those project but most of them didnt succeed on their target and I encounter many of them didnt follow their roadmaps, I also encounter some of their ranked ICO's failed on their project.

If you are really interested to invest on a project it will be better if you conduct your own study dont rely on other people or any top ranking ICO website.

You mean trading? Investing on BTC is one of the safest way of investment here if you can hold it for a long time sometime you will be afraid because of its volatility.

Trading is one of the most risky way of earning here sure it is profitable than holding BTC if you are PRO enough to trade, but even pro-traders sometimes fail but they take their loss anyway because they know the risk.

Whoah! This is a big new's for the crypto currency industry, it will affect the market circulation and can give more demand on bitcoin it can also give interest on altcoin's to those who are in there.

Before, most of the Stock Exchange treat bitcoin as a bubble and now here they are accepting bitcoin in their market.

Not all Government are against with crypto currency sure most of them are to those selfish government's afraid that they cant corrupt peoples money in crypto world, for me its just a matter of time soon crypto currency will be the most useful currency in this world.

You are right community can speak for the world, we better help to share the word of crypto currency to other people to our relatives and friends it will be a big help for us. 

It doesnt matter if the ETH/BTC is dropping the token's allocated to your stake will not change some of them when there is a hard fall give more discount.

I think you are right investing on ICO using dollar/$ will be more better when crypto market is on deep.

Im also from the PH and he is right, a lot of people here still dont have any idea on what bitcoin is if Im going to conduct a survey that ask people here near me if they know bitcoin estimatedly 8 out of 10 people here will tell me that bitcoin is a scam.

Everytime I ask some of my friend's about it they will answer fast that it is a scam and Im trying my best to give them an idea about it though non of them are interested to talk about it.

If I am going to answer about that campaign, I will tell you that I think there's a lot of alt accounts in there that own by only one person.

I know the fact that there's a lot of abusive filipino's here in this forum and Im very disappointed about it because those people dont think about the forum they are the selfish one's that will do anything just to get what they want.

I cant blame anyone here that they are blaming filipino's causing spam in this forum because its true, but please dont look at us as one(1), there are also legit filipino member's here and loyal to this forum.

Sorry to say but there is no way to undo any transactions as what other have been said, I wonder where the message came from, because if here on bitcointalk message you can report his account show your proof to the report and maybe after admin check it there's a possibility that his/her account can get negative trust.

In that way you can get back to him at least his account is tagged and can help to other forum user to know that he/she is a scammer.

Dont think of your loss charge it to your experience and learn from your mistakes, you are still lucky because you are older than us here get get some BTC, nowadays it requires hard work for us to get some.

Trading is one of the profitable way in cryptoworld but it is too risky for anyone who's not PRO doing trading, you lose a big amount on trading Im sure you learn something in there and you can now trade better than before.

Bitcoin target market is us, the whole world it doesnt matter who you are and where you from. Bitcoin cant choose its holder it depends on who really believes in it.

Bitcoin is a new technology that make's transaction's easier and faster for everyone, it also provides opportunity to earn money for anyone who like's.

Dont make fun on other's post they are trying their best to write proper english or at least understandable especially if they're not a navite english speakers, instead of making fun on other try to understand what they want to deliver and help them, Actually after reading all replies your reply is the most non-sense I have read.

For the OP, Their edit history is not visible for us but I think admins can see it, though for me it is not to important to read the edit history post.

But if you are having personal problem's in a thread or an argument that the user violate's the rule and you want to keep an evidence use printscreen or screenshot's and save it if you want to report a user for an abuse.

For example the fast few days bitcoin rise up to $8,400 while alcoins remain stable on their deep's, In my own analysis maybe because the investors focus on investing on bitcoin on its deep last few month around $6,100 some of those investors get their money on other altcoin's and put their investment on bitcoin that is why some alcoins last month are decreasing their value day by day and now bitcoin rise because of those investors altcoins value remains the same.

Yes some bank's tied up on bitcoin those bank's who tied up on BTC are the banks with a good view in the future because we all know that bitcoin is a threat to banks and government corruption, it is a one of the proof that bitcoin is really a good invention. This is good for the crypto industry, if all banks will join crypto world there will be larger crypto market.

No, it dont kill bitcoin. They are improving to help the world to make easier life for us, there are lots of project's that help bitcoin to gain more investor's.

On the other side if were talking about scam ICO's which is nowadays are too many that is killing bitcoin.
