Yes, there are many merit-givers and I'm still receiving enough merits even we didn't have merit source way back in 2018. In my case, I'm started grinding since day 1 of the merit system introduction so I managed to rank up in Sr. Member and finally become a Hero Member this day, August 14, 2019.

There are some merit sources from the international section that lend us help in our Philippines local board when our merit source's stash became zero. I always find ways to sustain and motivate myself to keep creating quality posts that's why I always reach my goal.  

I'm an optimistic person and I hope all of us should be like that to be more active and confident in reaching our success in life.

Thanks for lending me a hand, I'll keep being motivated and help our local board to be more active.  

fix your quotation.

No one ranked up through airdropped merits because they already received the respective merits equivalent to their rank. For example, if you're a full member before the merit system implementation, you'll receive 100 airdropped merits. So it means if they achieved the rank, it's through earning merits since the introduction of the merit system. I'm one of those people who are close to being a Sr. Member and the merit system serve as the barricade for me to rank up.

It's true that there are some of the legendary/hero members who didn't receive any single merit and you can see them spamming on the Bitcoin or Altcoin Discussion. Even I'm a Sr. Member, we can prove that we're better than them through merit counts. It's been one year already since the merit system so it's possible for us to receive even 1 merit.

About the OP, I know what you mean, there are different kind of managers and preferences on picking a participant of a signature campaign. So we don't have a choice to accept that some of them are gaining income even they're not good at posting. So it's a matter of chance on being a campaign, it's not a big deal in here so we shouldn't care about them. Let the campaign managers handle that thing.

Ranks have an important goal, the real thing about ranks is how we will interact with other people by having a high rank. If they respect you every discussion you'll engage, then you've done a good thing being a respectable member of this forum. If not, then maybe you've done something that the others don't want to see, or you've disrespected someone.

I also have a suggestion for you, report them if you find their posts as low-quality. 


Merits should be included there, most of the managers are looking for merits because it serves as proof that you've done quality posts or something good in this forum.

I know the feeling of reaching the Sr. Member rank because I've done that before. Earning merits was quite difficult for me because I'm just an average member of this forum but still keeping to be a good poster at my local.

Now that you reached Sr. Member, is it easy for you to become a Hero Member because you knew how to make a quality post. Keep reporting scam projects and through that way, you'll keep in the high grounds and reach your goals easily.

Congrats! 

I think preview was already a good tool for us to check if there are wrong on our statements or posts.
Since we barely use the drafts then I think we don't have to issue any development about drafts.


I always post some quality topics in our local board and also posted some of my services that consists of graphic design. Then, I'll try to check on preview if there are errors on my thread. I didn't come up to the point that there are already 100 drafts in my draft section so I think it's really impossible.

If you've thought something good then remember the main idea of that topic then try to post it as soon as possible. You don't need to save it on drafts, all of those ideas will come out by the means of remembering the main idea. I only find the preview tool very useful and if I've got any emergencies during creating some post, drafts are there for you.

Altcoin Discussion and Bitcoin Discussion are both spam sections because most of the topics are just repetitive. After creating a unique topic, it will have another version by next week and most of it doesn't have any complexity so people will try and give common replies even they lack the knowledge required to post on that specific topic.

As we can see, most of the sig spammers are posting in Altcoin Discussion than Bitcoin Discussion and many topics on it can be answerable by a normal person. We should be more intellectual on replying to threads because we're advanced and we are here in a big community that has a lot of information. It's such a disgrace if they're here for a long time and still making dumb posts. This is also the reason why some people choose Reddit to discuss some important topics because the statements are very considerable.


Agree to this, you can avoid spam replies by making it in self-moderation.
But the real cause here are the sig-spammers, they're the one who makes shitposts on the abovementioned threads.

---

The only solution, for now, is to report them, moderation isn't quite effective if you really want to dissolve shitposting because they will just avoid those moderated topics and post to the other threads. Remember, they're sig spammers who will post everywhere just to complete their task and earn bounty, it's really hard to stop them.

That's the issue na gustong gusto ko rin lutusin and I hope na makiisa din yung moderators for deleting those kind posts. Kasi minsan kapag nag-rereport at considerable naman siya as existing post na, isama pa natin yung mga shitposts, hindi pa rin nade-delete.

Kahit man lang locked, the purpose of having a discussion will be gone since paulit ulit lang naman yung mga thread na may similar topIcs diba?
Paraphrasing can be accepted pero sana try to add some analogy or other information para mas madaling maintindihan ang mga topic.

The massive creation of topics at hindi naman pinagiisipan ang contents are because of the merit system. Some of them are desperate to earned merits through creating topics. Kaya buti nalang yung iba sa atin ay may standards sa pagpili ng mga bibigyan ng merits.

To be specific, someone got a starting post of 778 for the week and have an ending post count of 768, still manage to receive the payment of
0.000179‬ BTC.

If it doesn't really help then why would you bump that thread?

I mean, people already ignored the topic because it wasn't good enough and maybe you didn't provide the information they're looking for. So there's no sense if you'll bump a trash thread.
--

In my case, I always keep the discussion lively and give good statements that will encourage them to reply. So through that, the thread will automatically bump through the opinions or statements of other members than spamming bump on the thread.

It's fine though.

I'll try to fix it because I realized that it's very confusing for someone that's browsing on mobile phones. Thanks.

@Hhampuz, I will leave on this campaign, I'm very glad to work with you, a great experience and I'm very thankful to Bitvest.
Hoping for the success of this project! Thank you very much.

Also hoping to work with you again soon.


Just check in Tier E. Member slot.

Already changed the signature! Thanks for accepting me.

Do you even know what's the purpose of Horizontal Rule? I'm very disappointed.


I see! Thanks @o_e_l_e_o, I'll try to add it on OP.

Any slots are fine with me.  
I got 384 earned merits and a good poster too.

I'm just a newbie too, sadyang na-tripan ko lang mag-experiment ng ganito. If something complex like a blockchain for a specific data, sobrang hirap na gawin non. Actually, may research din kami na blockchain about sa data ng university tas sobrang tagal na naming ginagawa pero mababa pa rin ang progress. Diyan sa topic ko, it's just a basic lang talaga. Anyways, thanks! I'll try to work with that kung kakayanin maging matinding programmer.

I think the diff=0 that's why nonces are zero too. I'll try to fix it.

changed the diff=20.

Too sad for you mate!
Minimum withdrawal at such a hindrance on every platform but at least you win and that's an achievement for ya'


Yes, it's just a typo error. Anyways, that's huge money, what a great achievement. Then what did you do to the money?

I'm just wondering why some participants still received payment even though they didn't manage to finish the task of at least 15 posts.

You shouldn't say the reason why you're here is because of earning money. First of all, the number one purpose of us being in here is to learn more important information regarding Bitcoin. We shouldn't prioritize earning money, your post will just show to newbies that earning money is a feature of this forum. As a beginner, we should always focus on the knowledge, money isn't the big deal here.
