2721  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Bitcoin is safe-haven, why mirror the price movement of the U.S stocks? on: July 08, 2020, 11:51:02 AM
Over this week I got thinking about the correlation of Bitcoin and the U.S stocks, and the purported claims of Bitcoin being digital gold and therefore a safe-haven. I could only conclude that all these claims contradict the true nature of Bitcoin. Maybe it will be safe to think that those who assume Bitcoin to be safe-haven are only been extreme in their support for the digital asset or attempting to shill their bag. Whichever be the case, Bitcoin is Bitcoin for what it is, a noble digital asset.

On the flip side, the commodities market has a negative correlation with stock. I am beginning to think that a cryptocurrency that tracks the price performance of the top 10 commodities by market cap will best serve as a price hedge against stocks. Just like the S&P 500 is a standalone trading asset that tracks the top 500 U.S stocks, why can't we have such in crypto to track the performance of the top 10 traditional commodities? I am trying so much not to divert the focus from Bitcoin, but look at it, this will give a lot of colors to the crypto trading market.

We will have an asset that doesn't necessarily plunge whenever Bitcoin price tanks, compared to what we are seeing in altcoins that bleed the hell out of them whenever Bitcoin makes a little downward movement. 

Stocks are centralized and Bitcoins is non centralized investments , even though they might serve the same purpose their correlation is not established with 100% certainty.



This is a graph for back in 2019 , as we can see here , stock , Bitcoins , gold , they are very important but at the same time they don't mirror the movement of each other .

________________________________________________________

BTC and ETH on the other hand are an asset that mirror the movement of each other strongly.

I do think what you are saying might be a problem , since mixing the centralized market with the non centralized one and that too the commodity market will not only be weird , it would also be unnecessary .

I really don't get the whole idea , you might try and maybe represent it more using a graph ? 
2722  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / 60M$ Worth Bitcoins Moved to ETH on: July 08, 2020, 09:56:37 AM
https://www.coindesk.com/nearly-60m-in-bitcoin-moved-to-ethereum-in-june

As the topic suggests:
Nearly 60M $ worth of Bitcoins were moved from BTC to ETH and that's alone for the month of June .

Research suggests that :
ETH is the most popular off-chain destination for Bitcoins

I do think some of you might be worrying that this would decrease the price of Bitcoins and such but the author explains very clearly how it's making a synergistic effect on both the cryptocurrencies.



Quote

Is the growing demand to use bitcoin on Ethereum a positive signal for the leading cryptocurrency? According to Demarco, the trend has a “synergistic” effect for both blockchains.

Chan agreed, telling CoinDesk that, for Ethereum, growth in the value of assets on decentralized finance applications is “a step towards the maturation of trustless and transparent financial services.” For Bitcoin, the benefit comes from being able to earn yield and collateralize bitcoin,” which “adds incentive” for users to invest in the cryptocurrency, according to Chan.

Using bitcoin on Ethereum is “potentially bullish for both networks,” Chan said.



Therefore what we can infer from this new is :

•Both BTC and ETH are supporting each other , BTC being the first choice of the investors and ETH having a more varied applications.

•Competition is not always a bad thing , the cryptocurrencies might as well coexist without having topics like : What's better BTC or ETH?

What do you guys think about it ? Worth noting or just unnecessary?
2723  Economy / Economics / Re: The freer the market, the freer the people? on: July 08, 2020, 08:10:14 AM
The freer the market, the freer the people

Do you agree with that? In this community, the 80% of the members would say yes, because bitcoin is a completely liberal currency. I would just like to know if you disagree or agree and why.

In my opinion, if you leave the market free, both good and bad things will happen, but I think that most of them will be bad. You just can't leave them free. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is something different. It's the thing I exclude from this thought, although, we have left it completely free, and we can see the mountains it has created with its price. Something that isn't good for mankind. Again, in my opinion.

This is what the government thinks .

They cannot let people possess something that might give them the power of free will , but I would like to state some points here :

• Why only 10% Bitcoins and cryptocurrencies are engaged in bad activities ?

• Why are we forgetting that Bitcoins are semi-transparent, one can very easily store all the information online forever , which can be check again by anyone.

•Making the market and people free is not necessarily a bad thing , only 0.7% of people are behind bars , now let's multiply it by 10 because we know how less the real victim gets convicted , then again we will get 7% ! That's less man , other 93% of the people will use this opportunity to fight against the government oppression and Corruption.

•When we are talking about the super high prices , why do you feel that it's not good for us ?
One can always purchase Bitcoins in any fraction possible , therefore it's not like it would be a problem for you or anyone else , it would only help the people who are engaged in Bitcoins since the starting , even traders would be able to take advantage of this opportunity.

•I do believe that it was created not as a form of payment for a little cup of coffee , but rather for the big transactions mainly and investment ofcourse. (Trading is +1 with the volatility)
2724  Economy / Economics / Re: Can we rely on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency? on: July 07, 2020, 04:36:28 PM
We are fully aware that the whole world now is combatting the war of the unknown, or this Covid-19 that cannot be seen but killed nearly a million of people across the globe. And we are in this battle for over half a year now, but still, the Cure is so hard to be found. So devastating as it was, as the losses rises each day in all kinds as often mentioned.

Sadly, we do not know yet, when all this chaos be over.

For some individuals working in Cryptoworld like me, can we rely on Bitcoin to sustain our needs and help prevent the economy collapse as this Pandemic continues?
As I've just heard from the news, there's a new swine flu disease which is a threat discovered in China again 😢 and has a Pandemic potential that the experts need to keep eye on.

I do think we all understand one thing and everyone have one thing in common : We are fed up of the current economic situation and also of the way the government dominates the market in the most unfair way that most of the money goes into the pockets of rich people.

We have long read about the gap that is between the rich and the poor and with time it is only widening , the Corona pandemic have proved that the Current system is not only inadequate but it is also unfair for the common man. We need a lot of change in the society and the way the things are handled perse ~

I do think one can very easily trust the cryptocurrencies because they are not owned by anyone but they are Owned by YOU! Therefore it is in your hand how you use this freedom.

You might combine this with your amazing business idea and earn millions or you might sit there criticizing it when you don't really understand the reason it was created.
2725  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Band-aid solution for the bitcoin.org dilemma? on: July 07, 2020, 12:00:26 PM
Shower thought, would it be a good move for theymos to copy all content from bitcoin.org and serve it through bitcointalk.org, and move the forum to forum.bitcointalk.org?

Unfortunately I do not think it is a good idea to do something like that 😅 , here are the reasons why I stand with my point:

•It would need permissions of both the parties and even if one declines nothing like this could ever happen.

•There would be problems regarding the system that we have right now here , you cannot just copy exactly everything , it would take a lot of time which would mean that for a while the whole forum will be inactive.

•It will need a techno expert , a lot of time plus permissions of not only both the parties but permission of the members registered here too to use their personal data .

•I do believe that forum is pretty simple and all this might result in some privacy problems.

•You should know that even if the domain was sold to any kind of person who personally might and might be goal oriented in terms of cryptocurrencies and such , he or she won't ever create problems for the forum , it will still work fine .

• Do you ever think that Cobra would ever hand it over to someone who would destroy the whole thing ??
  
I guess it could be a good thing to keep a backup and do this in case something goes wrong with the current bitcoin.org website? Like, is there any need right now to copy the stuff to the bitcointalk.org domain?

I might agree with the idea of a backup but then again it is technically unnecessary right now and would need a lot of time and effort for the same.

Right now I agree with you that it's working just fine.


Never heard stupider idea.
Why would he even do that.
Bitcoin.org remain with the bitcoin community. And even if we went through transfer of ownership (from cobra), it would remain within bitcoin community.


Would consider it stupid if ownership/control of the domain goes to someone like Roger Ver?


Err, but what would this solve though? Doesn't look like a band-aid solution for anything. The Bitcoin.org domain is mostly what's significant, not necessarily the content.


The content is what makes the domain significant!! There are people here working for the benefits of others , there are companies and firms here coming forth to provide solutions and alternatives.

It's NOT THE DOMAIN , it's the people who matters .

2726  Economy / Economics / Re: Rising tensions and effect on global trade on: July 06, 2020, 02:21:03 PM
India recently banned 59 Chinese apps within their region as tensions continue to rise between the two nations. India claimed to have received reports of data misuse by the Chinese apps which were blacklisted;
“The compilation of the data, its mining and profiling by elements hostile to national security and defence of India, which ultimately impinges upon the sovereignty and integrity of India, is a matter of very deep and immediate concern which requires emergency measures,” it said. “There have been raging concerns on aspects relating to data security and safeguarding the privacy of 130 crore Indians. It has been noted recently that such concerns also pose a threat to sovereignty and security of our country.”
This is the latest on the ongoing dispute between both nations over the Line of Actual Control that separates both territories for which dozens of soldiers were reported to have been killed just recently.

Both nations are the most populous in the world and trade tensions between them could impact the growth of businesses which are heavily reliant on the other. China are mostly the producers while India consumes their product, this ranges from a social platform to machinery;

"...According to the World Bank, India imports more goods from China than any other country, buying more than $90 billion worth of products in 2018 including machinery and electronics, chemicals and consumer goods. It exported less than a fifth of that amount to China.

Now, the spat is spilling over into technology, threatening billions of dollars worth of investments into India by Chinese tech giants.

India is now the biggest overseas market for Chinese smartphone makers, which have built factories and created jobs in the country. The attack on Chinese apps could jeopardize China's ambitions to dominate global tech, with India viewed as a major growth market for internet companies such as ByteDance..."

Source - https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/06/30/tech/india-china-app-ban-intl-hnk/index.html

This appears to be a political move from one or both parties, the two possible scenarios are;
• The Chinese government is attempting to use the popularity of companies within its region to get public data
• The Indian government is trying to hurt Chinese based companies as it has one of the largest consumer base for their products.
The Indian government would likely encourage its citizens to use local products, this however could affect the nation if this does not meet the required standards.

Both countries are members of the World Trade organization, with the goal of maintaining a peaceful and efficient trade between nations.
How do you think political interventions would limit the growth of companies and affect global trade?

Okay , let's face this, the trade industry kind of in a turmoil between the two nations , but at the same time it is supposedly a good thing :

•Bulbonic Plague is reported in China
•New Pandemic potential Swine flu virus was reported last week

I do think it's time we stay safe and if needed , ban the trade . Chinese products don't have much shelf life and are most of the times just used because they are cost effective. India can very easy employee their population for new industries and start producing things inside their own country.

They have millions of people who are in search of job and resources can be used Efficiently.

This fight is endless , they are fighting a cold war since ages and sooner or later were bound to have problems visible to the whole world. Right now we can only hope that they don't go into War , sign a peace treaty and leave both sides undisturbed.

War should never be an option.
2727  Economy / Economics / Re: Cannabis company in Colombia using blockchain for their crops. on: July 06, 2020, 11:52:01 AM
With legislation paving the way for legalization of cannabis across the world, a Cannabis company based in Colombia is using blockchain to learn about the future of traceability in their crop (Enabling cannabis growers to trace their crop from seed to sale). Together for its management & compliance platform, ensuring confidence in the quality of medical cannabis & adherence to government regulations.

They're working closely with Symbol from NEM and their blockchain to maximize its functionalities of rapid technological implementation, simplicity in its learning and robustness in its design and architecture. It has both dedicated enterprise chain features and all decentralization features to target the market cap too and increase it's token value moving along.

With more people getting anxiety issues during this pandemic, CBD has risen up its sales and this can be the future of blockchain technology being used.

What does it take for companies to use blockchain technology more?

I do think the companies have to realize that Blockchain is not some scam or something that people use to do illegal activities, at the same time they have to encourage students in the university to take up blockchain as an assignment , to learn something about it, see how it works .

It's not a new technology, it was envisioned far back in the 1900's , the whole idea is to make the system more transparent. Companies are working on outdated softwares , Blockchain is something that is more secure ,plus it does have a lot of applications in companies itself.

I do think it will all start with : Introducing Blockchain positively, the news companies don't do justice to blockchain and cryptocurrencies.

_____________________________________________________________________________

I am not fond of Cannabis and other drugs but legalizing them would mean that the government will be able to track them somehow , because let be honest , even if the thing is illegal, time and again we see people using it in a much worse circumstances.

Blockchain could store that data and provide safe and controlled alternatives to people .

2728  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How long can the gov keep up the economic lie: downplaying the pandemic? on: July 06, 2020, 08:19:07 AM
Everyday via TV citizens are reminded:
- Virus is just temporary
- Vaccine coming (it may not)
- V shaped recovery
- Deaths will be low
- Virus will magicly go away by easter  Roll Eyes
- might do another simulus check  Roll Eyes
- unemployment is low



The goal of these lies are to get people to keep spending and not sell 401k.
How long can keep the lies going, before people realize we're fucked

Virus is not temporary it is going to stay just like common cold or HIV even years from now.

Vaccine will come for sure , there is no reason to believe that it might not , but it will come with some delay for sure .

V-shaped recovery is actually false , the government at many places are not letting citizens test , happened to my family , my cousin had all the symptoms but the doctor advised him to stay inside the house and just lock the gates.

Deaths will obviously be low since with time we are able to get a grip on the virus plus there are medicines which are out for the trial , I do think it will all be better in the near future.(but the virus is evolving)

That Easter thing was a stupid statement by Trump .

Then again he cannot do another stimulus check , there is not much left in the government funds and if they keep printing money , they will loose the same amount in the value affecting the economy.

Unemployment is in millions.. on the official website of the government it's stated 20-30 times lower than what the situation is.

_______________________________________________________________________________ ____

Never believe in statements given by Trump , he is the biggest threat to the American economy himself. Even the financial advisors believes so.

They are lying not to make sure that people don't sell , they are lying because:

 •They want to prevent problems with the general public if they really knew the situation , but at the same time they are threatening the protesters , even the stupid president himself is posting Tweets to identify protestors from BLM.

•They are trying to prove that the government did not fail :3 which it clearly did ( the queen should have done the needful while she had the chance )
2729  Economy / Economics / Re: Privacy Coins and The Shadow Economy on: July 05, 2020, 07:02:33 PM
In these times of crisis, it's evident that people recur to illegal ways to get access to goods and services. The privacy coins will allow anyone to achieve true freedom and financial sovereignty that was never thought possible before. With truly anonymous cryptocurrencies like Monero, Grin, and Beam, the shadow economy could grow towards unprecedented rates. I think that governments will start to "hunt" for privacy coins now more than ever because of this.

Do you think that privacy coins will be largely adopted in the shadow economy? Or will Fiat continue to dominate? If we put aside price volatility of privacy coins, and focus on their utility, the shadow economy could work as intended without the need to rely on banks (Fiat) ever. Only then, the shadow economy will become truly unstoppable.

What are your thoughts? Huh

See I do think that we should understand that most of the people around the world does not have the need to do something illegal to obtain something since most of them are in working class , working 9-5 jobs, earning , without much knowledge about cryptocurrencies.
In my family personally only 1-2% people know about Bitcoins , rest thinks I do something weird on the internet . Therefore these privacy coins are being used by very less people, maybe the people who do want to stay away from the eyes of the government because of some issue, some want to hide their financial situation and get out of paying taxes .
Right now I don't think that the government will out up a hunt for coins like that since right now they have much bigger issue right in front of them , after all this they will try and regulate those coins for sure . They might introduce KYC , employee people to take care of the online issues and that is much needed since we cannot always trust that people will make good decisions.
2730  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin soon will become a boring investment? on: July 05, 2020, 10:39:48 AM
Allot of people are making investment in Bitcoin, even with the risks involved. Everybody want to own Bitcoin. Many have half or more than half of their portfolio invested in Bitcoin already, This digital currency is becoming  almost common to all, when everyone owns a Bitcoin who then will care about it as it will be as common and a boring investment.

I believe this is a treat in the Bitcoin market value, could this actually bring down the market? Or it is a sign for feature increase in the market? Your thoughts are welcome..

I do think you don't understand the reason why Bitcoins was created. It gives users the freedom from the clutches of corrupted centralized economic system , enables them to own something , protects their privacy and at the same time gives them an opportunity to earn money through trading , which is more or so more profitable because of the higher volatility as compared to fiat.

If we do go according to your way of thinking then , I do think even money would be boring for you now , since everyone owns it.

It was not introduced because it was supposed to entertain people or let those selected few who owned some Bitcoins feel special and different.

2731  Economy / Economics / Re: How Corona Virus changes our markets (with picture and charts) on: July 05, 2020, 09:17:05 AM
I don't need any chart to conclude we're in one of the biggest crises and contrary to what you say, I don't think it can be said at any point we're coming out of this stronger than before. We're not recovering everything, we're at the beginning of a terrible crisis.

Wait for September and you will see what I mean.  We will need several months to see the result and if the lockdown ended it doesn't mean everything is back to normal

Protecting the economy by printing money backed on debt? Are you sure it's something protecting?
If the economy is protected why are there several companies announcing either bankrupt or lay off thousands of people


First thing , This is not even in the category of one of the biggest crisis ever .

Do you know HIV/AIDS , killed 36 million people back from 2005-2012 ? Whereas Flu pandemic killed 1 million back in 1968.

Corona Virus right now killed 533,773 people in the whole world. The only problem we have is it's Infectious nature. Corona Virus is not the worst but unfortunately people do not want to wear a mask , even though we are well aware that , masks can prevent the forthcoming wave .

I do think we should also stress on the point that *It could very easy have been prevented* , right at the source , it would have just stopped at the epidemic then . The carelessness of the government plus the unnecessary restrictions that China did put in the beginning when they were asked by various countries , for the evaluation of the COVID-19 , did prove to be fatal to the whole world.

Even now we have a new swine virus with pandemic potential and I do think it is not the worst crisis ever but can evolve in one , if they do the same mistake with this virus , plus if the countries like India and China , continue to increase their border tensions creating another War , whereas if America continues to attack it's citizens with so called *peaceful* tear gas , continue to allow police brutality, soon enough people will overthrow the government.

We might as well get ready for a World War + pandemic + government against it's own people, hopefully the peace treaty won't be broken and things will stay normal, New-Normal.
2732  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My friend passed away and he have Bitcoin in his wallet on: July 05, 2020, 08:39:18 AM
Hi
It's a bit strange topic and situation so a friend of mine passed away in a traffic accident and I'm sure he have big amount of saved bitcoins in his wallet or wallets.
His parents a bit old school and they know nothing about technology or Bitcoin
So I want to tell his parents about it as probably his private keys is saved in his personal PC or email or his phone or some paper
And no I cannot go to meet them as I'm in another country now but I have his father's phone and another friend of mine living close to them

So do you guys think it's a good idea to tell his parents about it ? To search of they find some twelve words it's a key to some hisen coins ? Or what do you guys think?

Fact : Most wallets now allow the Bitcoins to be passed on to someone else.

Therefore if you are able to unlock his mobile you will be able to talk with the wallet companies and such about it , surely there will be someone who did knew about his password and therefore it would be easy for someone to do it .

I do think you should not tell about it to anyone except his parents.

DO NOT TRUST ANYONE

But then again you cannot go there on your own and so I would suggest you to just wait it out when you can travel or if he has a brother or sister let them do it .

It is a very critical matter and I assure you the wallet company will understand too .

So I do think there are only the following things that can be done:

•Physically meet his parents and check his mobile then encash and transfer it into their parents wallets

•Ask help from his siblings

•Talk with the wallet company , you should know that much at least.

I do hope everything goes well , his parents went through a lot at this time , they lost a lot , this would at least help them financially , plus I would like to send my regards to you and his family.

He is in a good place don't worry.
Thank you for helping him out even when he is not here .
2733  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can you hide your identity with bitcoin? (100%) on: July 05, 2020, 06:10:54 AM
I was having an argument with a friend. He says that you can't be anonymous to the bitcoin's network. Both nodes and wallets use, leads to an ip address where information can be found.

I had read in this forum that you can hide it with hardware? How exactly?

Well I do think we should be aware of the fact that all the transactions are hosted on a Transparent network where people can very easily go and check where the money is going .

BUT

If you do use services like ones provided by sites like blender.io and stuff , you can very easily shuffle that address , which would mean that it would be very hard for you to track the receiver , then again you have to pay the fee there but it's not much if you are trying to protect your privacy.

At the same time you can use hardware wallets , paper wallets , or the wallets which do not require KYC. Even the government have now made the KYC a requirement for the people for major wallet companies , one can only imagine , how much they are tracking about us.

A quote from Bitcoin.org
Quote
Bitcoin works with an unprecedented level of transparency that most people are not used to dealing with. All Bitcoin transactions are public, traceable, and permanently stored in the Bitcoin network.

2736  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Quantum computers and cryptocurrencies on: July 04, 2020, 08:15:59 AM
{I am fully aware that there are numerous topics regarding the same but for once I wanted to create a discussion where we can share our thoughts and information regarding the same }

What is Quantum mechanics?

In Physics we generally learn about Macromolecules , whereas the atoms and it's constituents have long been a tough choice for the physicists and chemists to go into , but back in the 1900's Richard feynman said If you think you understand quantum mechanics you don't understand it at all. It was a very powerful statement back then , even right now we can never say that we know an atom fully .
Quantum mechanics works on those tiny atoms , using them to solve something in 200 seconds which otherwise would have taken 10,000 years in the worlds fastest computers.
Limitations are many when we talk about normal computers but quantum computers have just started evolving.

Why should we worry about it?

All the messages , all the data and especially Our wallets, everything can be hacked in a matter of seconds if the person has computational power of a Quantum computer.

Things to consider here:
•The superconductors inside the quantum computers works on -273.15°C therefore there is no way a common man would possess some high maintainence thing like that.
•They would cost way more compared to normal computers , the cost of one computer would be in billions.
•They won't be compact and would need a lot of room
•The person using it itself needs to be certified and trained in the same.
•They mostly would be used for the pharmacists , chemists and other sectors , using them to hack wallets ?? Not so sure.
•If they can do that much damage the government will never allow them to be of use of general public Because their sites are way more vulnerable than cryptocurrencies.

I understand the problems we might face if they are out in the public , but it won't happen for another 10 years , plus not everyone can afford it .

Therefore I do believe that we have 10 more years to improve the cryptocurrencies , to improve the blockchain.
Maybe even we can integrate Quantum mechanics in the mining machines ? It would be financially not a right step but for people and companies who can afford , they will be able to make it way more secure than anything.

What can defeat a Quantum computer is a Quantum computer itself , therefore my idea might seem vague but I do think we can get there , what would be needed :
Investment
Knowledge
Time

There are Mining companies and industries which could afford integrating the Quantum mechanics in their normal machinery. One machine alone could do work of 100's plus this way we can even reduce the time of sending Bitcoins from one wallet to another, without compromising the security.

What do you guys think ? Is it worth thinking about ?

2738  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it worth hosting a lightning node? on: July 03, 2020, 07:48:14 AM
So I've recently seen a video and read an article that explains how to host a lightning node on raspberry pi3.
Aside from the benefit of strengthening the ecosystem and helping the technology in general, is it financially worth doing?

Has anyone done it? Can you share some info on gains?

The lightning node is the fastest one out there and therefore if you are thinking of doing it you should actually consider these two things :

1. Fee is very less
2. Applications are actually more in day to day routine.

Even though the fee of the lightning network is very low , for example if a cafe runs and accepts Bitcoins , they would use the lightning network , so even if 100 customers come , you will maximum earn very little. It can be taken as a means to help Bitcoins and make them more acceptable to general public.

But then again Lightning network is not considered as safe as the Blockchain .

Normally transactions that have not been included in a blockchain are considered unsecure. This is because a miner has not spent money to attest to the validity of the transaction.Feb 13, 2019

It’s not meant to work that way, at least in such a blatantly clear manner. The main principle is that of meriting posts due to their content. The content stays on the forum, and is therefore potentially interesting to many more people, thus, to a large extent, by derivation, one merits posts that can be of use the Bitcointalk community, and not as a one-on-one task that has delimited benefit for all (and perhaps no visibility).

There are of course people that have been merited for , let’s say, odd things (to say the least), but it should not turn into a token in exchange for someone’s work (and if it does, it may lead to having a derivate negative effect).


..

Guys, if someone needs help, I'm ready to respond.
I will do the work to get Merit. Write to the PM.
Merit I do not demand forward, you will send after work will done.

I'm not sure if such offer is according to the forum rules.
Any way,  I really don't think that anyone need such help or support here.
I think that all members can learn enough about btc here if they invest some time and effort and read old posts.
After that they will know enough to join different discussions and get merits for their contribution.
You don't need help from others really, just do some work and learn new things.
 


..

See the members already stated , I understand that you want to earn Merits to rank up and it is really hard , but I do think you do realize the importance of quality too .

If you are doing stuff for earning merits I do think you should not post it in a topic where we are encouraging new people to learn and to motivate them .

I do think you should just learn a lot man don't worry , plus this topic is specifically for new people who have very less merits , but are trying to write good posts . Therefore if you want to earn some , you should really submit some good ones .

Plus I did give some merits out today too , I will make sure to update the list as soon as I can .

I do hope everyone stays safe .
Thank you again for helping me out here @Daniel and @Ddmr .
