I couldn't either which is why someone who knows what they are doing will have to knock something up.

This is the best idea yet.



Can you find anything that meets the requirements?

I don't have that option yet but it looks like it is giving you the option of whether you want to see the badges or not. What LeGaulois was suggesting was the option to wear or hide your own badge.

That's true but coming back to this thread every week to make the same dumb points and choosing to reply to a post that's already been answered is a giveaway to the motivation in my opinion. I wonder how the gambling site that pays him would react if I went to their thread every week and told their customer not to gamble.

There is a lot on the forum I don't think many signature spam posts are made in service threads. He's been doing the same repertoire for as long as I can remember. He can't really claim that his points have never been addressed, I was giving a counter argument to them every week long before I started working for Freebitco.in. It's fair enough if he doesn't agree with me but repeating the same arguments time over time serves no purpose beyond meeting his required posts in the gambling section count.

No.

I think that might deter people from reporting for fear of getting it wrong. It would be better to stick to the positive side of the equation.

I think it would be under the coins used to depict rank like the other badges already in use.



If you hover the mouse over that Bitcoin symbol you see the text "Bitcoin core developer".

I'll answer in public. We used to offer mining as a service that many people enjoyed using. Unfortunately, the antivirus industry classifies that as a trojan even though it clearly isn't. The service is no longer available so that information is incorrect.

Sucuri SiteCheck is a scam. They say our JavaScript is malicious and if you click the link to find out how to remove that listing they ask us for $295 to 'fix' it. You can view all JavaScript source through your browser and see for yourself what it does.

You turn up every Monday when your post count starts again to make the same ridiculous comments that I have answered and pointed out how stupid they are every time. That is spamming and if you can't see what is wrong with spamming a service thread with "I am saying do not gamble on this faucet just because it does not worth everyone time" I wonder what is wrong with you. Learn English and stop talking out of your arse. Go and spam in Gambling Discussions where nobody needs to read your idiocy.

I'm sure the prestige thing is an element to it but I'd guess the Member level signature is a bigger driver. Some signature campaigns will accept them on Member level pay and for others, they just want to use links to their own projects. It's easier to buy than getting 10 Merit for a lot of people. Higher level memberships surely would sell like hotcakes.

The week before this last one 5 out of ten had more than 100,000 tickets but a quick check of the last 10 or so weeks show those to be in a small minority. Most of the winners had a few thousand to a few tens of thousands and quite a few lower.
I think when someone says it's all about luck they are referring to the principle of betting on random numbers. They are not denying that more tickets give a better statistical chance but luck is still the deciding factor in a game of chance. It's not hoping for nothing, it is hoping for a small chance.

BTW most of the people you see with a very large total of tickets didn't buy them. They get 200,000 free for every 1 BTC wagered.

The title of this thread is "Newbies can now pay a small fee to enable images" so as you're not a Newbie that should have been obvious. There is no mention anywhere of increasing any post size limits so I don't know where you got that idea.

From the opening post of this thread:

You are already a Jr. Member so can post images.

There is a character limit per post (~64,000 IIRC) but that is the same for everyone regardless of rank.

The top prize for free rolls was 1 BTC when the site launched and BTC was under $200. Within a couple of weeks BTC shot up to $350 so the prize was reduced to 0.667... then when $500 hit it went down to 0.4.... then someone in the thread came up with the idea of fixing to a USD value and it's been at BTC equivalent of $200 ever since.
IIRC the base prize was higher depending on the geographical region defined by AdSense. So in most first world countries, it was $0.004 rather than $0.002 for the rest of the world.


It's just part of BTCevo's signature spamming repertoire he recycles every week along with the customary 'don't gamble just use the faucet' and my personal favourite 'don't buy lottery tickets because there is no guarantee you will win'.

That gives a minimum of 1,020 accounts but it got to that level many months ago and I'd assume it is many times that by now.


theymos is probably the best person to answer this but the data could probably be extracted by some the people that keep unofficial data on the forum. Have a look around Meta for the various threads with Merit data analysis.


I think the Member level signature is more highly sought after than the ability to post images as a Newbie.

I find the forum a little quieter now in terms of discussion. The big rally in price and interest in the latter part of last year has died down. A lot of the subjects like the introduction of Segwit, the forks and Lightning Network are no longer new. There's a little less discussion and controversy about Merit as people are finally getting used to it or haven't been here long enough to remember what it was like before. It's the summer holidays in the northern hemisphere and the streets of London reflect that everyone seems to have left for the beach. The spambots and shitposters still seem to be hard at work though.

I think a lot of Jr. Members are doing it for the Member level signature. Some campaigns are accepting Jr. Member with Copper membership for a Member spot. That's probably a far more attractive benefit that posting images for newbies.  I'm not sure if it possible to find out how many since the member search function has a maximum 1,020 results display limit.

I'm sure hilariousetc's suggestion of making the higher rank signatures available in more expensive memberships would be equally popular.

The account shows last active when it was last logged into but banning only stops posting and sending PMs. The account hasn't posted since March so I think it is probably permabanned.

In my opinion, it is much more likely that they fell for a phishing site than they are trolling. Maybe too embarrassed to come back and admit it.

There are at least four 1st place winners that have posted here as I mentioned only last week. I'm not all surprised that you would repeat something wrong that had been corrected so recently, I'm only amazed at why people think that winners are supposed to come forward and identify themselves.
