2081  Other / Meta / Re: Should the lowest merit spenders among us be known? on: February 08, 2018, 01:53:18 AM
Sending merit requires work.  You need to evaluate many posts and pick the ones you think are most worthy.  We are not being paid to send merit, so it should not be a transaction we need to fulfill.

Sending merit requires no more work than anyone is already spending cruising the forum.

You don't need to hunt for new quality posts, this isn't a job for everyone. But provided you are a good contributor, who is actually reading posts in threads (and not just responding to the OP), you will find original posts or responses that you deem are valuable - you give them a merit. It takes 5 seconds, literally.

The universe of members able to receive your merit are those that participate in the corners of the forum you lurk in.


Ok, We have lot of people (Jr.Member and newbies) that do not have any Merit so they cannot merit. Personally for me, I read here a lot of post and come across some good post also.

I can suggest that , like we have link for "Report to Moderator" for abusive posts , same we can do like "Report for Merit" for the people who are reading here and do not have Merit right now to spend.

Somebody can say , I should make collection of these post  as Theymos suggested but actual problem is that I need to bookmark them , wait for the count of 10 to publish. Now this need additional work and wait.

I think a simple button click like "Report for Merit" and continue to read on.

2082  Economy / Economics / Re: How can you manage potential losses during a crash on: February 05, 2018, 06:31:23 AM
I am a bit of a risk taker, so I tried this strategy. I bought a coin at $16k when the price was going up last year. Then I went on holiday for a few weeks and when I returned, I saw that the price went down considerably. <$10k> So, I had a choice :

1. Hoard and wait for the price to recover to $16k or,
2. Day trade on the small dip & corrections, within a $400 to $500 margin and reduce my potential losses on the $16k.

I decided to try option 2. It took some good timing, but I managed to trade my way out of trouble and I managed to make a little profit. <I might have been lucky, but it worked>

The current price is floating between $8000 and $9000, so there are some room for profits, if you know what you are doing.

Actually what you quoted is really the principle of trading , buy more when market selling cheap but currently nobody have no idea how market will go.

 This method require lot of attention and lot of  cash liquidity, suppose you bought it at $8000 then market dipped at $7000. Now be ready to buy one more coin at $7000 too.

I think what you are proposing is known as "Averaging down" strategy in trading/investing. If something goes continually down as you cannot predict for bitcoin then this will become worst strategy. This works good when you are certain that dip is just momentary and in long term market will recover.

Why worry about losses, just put same in stake that you can afford to lose and do not further strain the money.

Hi Mods

Please pin (or sticky) this thread on META or whatever forum you deem appropriate for it.
It is really  a good collection.

I will also suggest to lock this thread, and whenever somebody find some more useful thread they can request and add to it. So no more increase of post count in this thread. (Small, concise and fully loaded with information).
2084  Other / Meta / Re: Flawed Merit System on: February 05, 2018, 01:49:58 AM
Fucking shut up!
Just shut up! Go away from this forum if you can't read anything or don't know what is going on.
And FYI ,a member,I repeat a member:- nullius has received way more merits than 99% of the users here. His posts are worth a read,and helpful too. So again,GTFO.

Yeah.. i was expecting this response from guys like you..maybe you don't know why. Let me tell you because if a system is in your favour then nobody like questions against that system.

@pugman : I do not think you need to be so impolite to someone else in this forum. If you don't like something just ignore it , move ahead (or report to moderator)  or explain it in polite way.

@others : I do not understand how somebody can merit this impolite behavior. It is unfortunate that bunch of Hero members meriting the post.

@cryptoneum : Buddy Enough is discussed about Merit so we all should now stop. I am sure flaws  will be remove with time. Read Theymos post, Administration is aware of all the pros and cons of the system.

Can anyone help me in this.
Only "theymos" can help you regarding this.


Do you still have the link for that thread where you are trying to quote that message? It appears that it was deleted by mod so you can't quote it anymore. Look on how I quoted your post easily because it wasn't deleted.
This happens when you are trying to access / quote a post that has already been deleted.
No, you're both wrong (the answer is in the post you both quoted [highlighted part]):

Below is the message I got if I quote anything in META thread. ( When I just tried to quote your text)

For those that haven't faced this issue:

a) If you ignore certain boards
b) Then go to any thread on those boards and quote any post
c) You'll receive the following error (apart from the cases you both mentioned):
Quote
An Error Has Occurred!
The post you are trying to quote either does not exist, was deleted, or is no longer viewable by you.

It would be nice to have a different template for such cases, so users won't be confused.


I remember on very first day of registration , I customized my profile, now it is not allowing me to re customize it.
I tried everything to replicate your situation regarding the "Disable 45 error" but had no luck...

1. Are you sure your doing it correctly?
Steps: PROFILE > Ignore Boards Preferences > Un-check the intended board > Change Profile

2. I even tried using my "Newbie alt account that I use for bumping my threads" but didn't face any issues (in case it was a new restriction for lower ranked users)

3. I searched "Simple Machines" website but no reported case for that error

4. I have a feeling that this might be something from your end so perhaps try the following things (while waiting for an answer from the Admin):
  a) Use different browser
  b) Clear the cache
  c) Try Incognito mode in Chrome


I can see your last posts just fine.
But he/she won't be able to see those (since it's among his/her ignored boards).

What kind of customization?
Ignore Boards Preferences.


Thank You All.
I am trying to customize my Profile, but in Actually it is ticked in my "Ignore Boards Preferences".
Heartily thanks to you all, pointing this out
2086  Other / Meta / Re: Not able to Quote on Meta Thread on: February 03, 2018, 06:19:39 AM
I reach Meta thread by Google search. Now some of the META thread in my watchlsit so I can access META.

But my Home page do not have any link to META thread. Leave others, I can not quote even my post in META.
What ever I post in META, It only increase my post count , If I do "show last post by this person"  in my profile then there is no collection of post that I posted in Meta, same with the topics I started.

I remember on very first day of registration , I customized my profile, now it is not allowing me to re customize it.
2087  Other / Meta / Re: Not able to Quote on Meta Thread on: February 02, 2018, 05:10:16 PM

Since this do not come in my home page so I do not know who are the moderators for this thread.

@marlboroza
 The point I am trying to make if the developer did not put any information in there website and ANN thread , then how can you find that information by Google search? Google with fetch information that exist , it cannot generate a information on its own.

Any way, even I have a very little experience ( less than 2 month) but I learnt that 90 percent Altcoin are scam so need to pursue them for missing information.

 Hi All

I am not able to quote in META thread.
I think on very first day of joining when I customized my profile, I ticked META thread too on my profile.
Now I try to again customize my profile it give me error "Disable 45"
Can anyone help me in this.
2091  Other / Meta / Re: Anti-spam Merit Giveaway - For Junior Members Only - updated on: February 02, 2018, 04:22:51 AM
Before I say read my post or I deserve Merit I like to put forward some points.

  Theymos proposed the system to stop the shit posting like "going to moon" and "lambo" but actually it hit the medicore  member most. People who are delivering good post are really getting good Merit But medicore people who do not created a high quality post (even they are not shit posting like "going to moon" ) are hardest hit.

Personally , you will find my many post inquiring about number of coin required for POS or setting up of MasterNode but is I am really in fault asking these questions when first post of coin will just tell you that this POS/MN coin without any  required number of coin information. Even these information is missing in their website too.

I am also against the spam , You can find my post advising my fellow member not to spam even before the Merit system introduced. Spam really causing issues , 80 pages of thread just contain 10 pages of useful information .(Now reading 10 page is ok but reading 80 pages of worthless post is real pain and further increase scam because the person might repeat his question that is already answered earlier.)

I have no complain about not receiving merit .( I put forward some of my suggestion in Meta forum and they are not coming in my post history) .

This forum provided me the source of ample knowledge and still there is much more to learn but it hurt just a little bit if you cannot progress.( I think natural human tendency.)








2092  Other / Meta / Re: Don't forget to give merits to the thread starter on: February 01, 2018, 11:36:17 PM
If Forum start giving Merit to the  thread starter , Then everybody will start a thread for Merit. I guess this will cause more problem and more spam. On the Contrary , I will say to everybody to "lock" there thread if they already received the information they needed to prevent more spam.
And more important , before starting any thread, person should take pain to search that information first . It will help in one less spam thread.

Is this thread closed now or it will continue for the next week to award merits?

If we get electricity from solar power plants then this won't matter.

Harvesting Solar energy is currently very expensive and current solar cells are not that efficient.
2095  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Is BTC mining is disturbing our planet earth. on: January 31, 2018, 11:33:51 PM
Proof of work is inefficient. Proof of capacity and proof of retrieval would be better systems. Not a huge fan of proof of stake myself (to earn some, you need some is kinda silly).

Proof of capacity is way more efficient. I can spin a disk for a few watts and store millions of hashes. As opposed to having to grind hashes every day, all day.


Is any crypto currency is using proof of retrieval system. It sounds very interesting system but found it is used for image storage.




Filecoin for instance, it has both: proof of work algorithm and also proof of retrieval which requires nodes to prove that they store a particular file.
Caution needed though, I'll get some information first as I remember reading some bad things about their ICO last year (great benefits given to insiders).
That being said apparently the coin is doing alright right now, with a price over $20 per coin.  

Thanks for the info.  I am just interested in checking if somebody able to use the concept. But look like they do not have any working product right now.
2096  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Time to Buy? on: January 31, 2018, 10:05:58 PM
I think cryptos have just bottomed out for now. Probably is time to buy.Everyone seems to be shit scared.  Opinions?

If your proposition is simply based on that price is currently bottom so you should buy then I will say NO.
But if you are really seeing value and doing value investing then go ahead.
If you buy some useless product cheap for sake of an investment then might be next day that product will have no takers and you will lose your "Cheap Investment"
2097  Other / Meta / Re: Suggestion about the Trust system on: January 31, 2018, 06:52:10 AM
I do not know People having red trust are really scammer or not because "Trust" system looks abused to me.
Be not carried away with trust rating and do the due diligence before any trade because you never know if somebody is going too become the first time scammer.

Removed word "Flaw" in original post. Sorry if somebody find this word offending.
2100  Other / Meta / Re: Merit System .. Existing Flaws and fixing them on: January 31, 2018, 06:16:19 AM
@HabBear  : I am not changing my Flaw2 , I am just saying if there is upper cap to send the number of merit to a person, 
                   then we should put upper cap of Merit that a post can accumulate.
                   As for giving merit to Alt accounts, I do not find any statement in forum that says you cannot give "Merit"
                   multiple time to same person.

                   Flaw4 was for pointing to the direction of "Trust" abuse and while thinking about solution, I got an idea of this
                   new Score. Staffs and Mods are free to choose anyone.
