It was a good news in quite some time ago, but now the Crypto Bridge shut down so the annoucement is outdated. With low volume consistently, I doubt that Phore will get good supports from exchanges in months to come. Exchanges, basically, tend to delist coins with low volue, and low liquidity. Which type of plans to deal with delisting risks from exchanges?

I see the giveaways on 15th December in above post, but there is no detail. Will details only be relased on that day?

Christmas is in the air and Roobet.com has brought surprising gifts to their users and supporters. I like it. For the Christmas and New year to come, I wish all the best for you all. The next year will be an interesting one for crypto and when people have good mood with their portfolios, who knows?

This week, I see something new from Roobet.com. New promotions for Christmas (above), a ban add in the forum (maybe it is the first round Roobet.com joins it).

Everyone can create ANN topics but there are some restrictions to make ANN with images (Copper membership solves restrictions) but there are some boards that you have to be at least Member (in Serious Discussion) and Full member (in Ivory Tower) to post.

Two new no-signature boards

You can create as many folders in your bookmark page as you wanted, with good folder names to remind you which posts or topics stored in each bookmark folders.

For example, you can create a main folder: Bitcointalk
Then, creating sub-folders:
- Forum rules
- Plagiarism
- Pyramid/nested quotes
- Merit system
- Miscellaneous
- theymos' opinion.
- Mine (for your good posts or topics).

For each bookmark link, you can also give a name for each link. From my experience, using bookmark is more convenient than saving links in Excel sheets.

OP received many replies and explanations on what is ANN.

Now, I would like to give OP an expansion from the ANN abbreviation, there is a topic: Terminology.
In that topic, there are some sections: from bitcointalk, bitcoin, people, places, altcoins, business & finance, slang & emoticons, technology to other. In those sections, OP can see so many abbreviations that he will do see in the future.

The best method to learn how to use sMerits from received merits is practice. Send your sMerits one or two times will help users understand how their sMerits can be used.
It is my personal habits but I always to keep some sMerits in my pocket, around 5 to 10, just in cases someone help me or I see some interesting topics or posts, I can give my small amount of sMerits as an indirect thanks to their good posts.

You can bookmark good posts/ topics you see, and come back later when you have sMerits to give them some. But most of time you will forget to do this. Having some sMerits reserved for future good posts is the best one.

You can use WatchList

Profile > Notification & email > Choose this one:
Automatically watch topics after replying to them.
You can click Do it to activate that one: You can add all of your posted-in topics to your watchlist.

And after logging in your account, you can use that page to view and manage your WatchList page: https://bitcointalk.org/watchlist.php

But I would prefer to use bookmark feature of browsers or manually save my favorite topics in sheets of excel.

Any feedback from people who use the service to withdraw coins from Crypto Bridge without doing KYC? Is there service good to use? There is very limited time left till the dissapearance of Crypto Bridge from Crypto.

If what you wanted is totally lock one account for a set-up period, with X = 30 days, ie. And that account's owner can not re-activate the locked account before the 30-days period expires, that will be terrible.

We can not pre-determine exactly when we will come back to use accounts (after holidays, vacations, ie.). There are many reasons that force us to re-activate our accounts before the setup periods.

In contrast, if there is option to re-activate accounts, your suggestion does not makes much sense. Because if hackers have access to email, accounts, then they will easily to re-activate accounts.

This one is unfair for good posters because good posts are always good posts. If one knowledgeable user answered to help the others (one or maybe more users) in one topic with more than one post per day, and their posts help the others clear their questions and help them solve their problems, it will be unfair if only one of their helpful posts counted by the forum.

In contrast, shit posters can spread their posts over different topics and all of their posts will be counted by the forum system.

10 shit posts are not equal to 1 good posts, I meant. So I think the best one is let it to managers to accept or reject posts in one topic per day.
AFAIK, some managers already reject posts in Mega spam topics.

Quality does not correlated with languages or length of posts. Posters are able to receive merits from their recognised contributions by some of their good posts.

I say some because not all of good posts will be read by the others. It is the fact because of the forum has still been affected by lots of shit posts. The another reason is merit sources are unable to spend their time to find and read all of good posts in the forum, and sometimes good or un-good (not shit) posts are subjtectively judged by readers.

From this aspect, language is not the most important thing. I agree that posts written in good English will do help rising the probability to catch attention of readers, and when readers understand most part of what posters want to mention, and when readers like or agree with posters' opinion, readers will probably send merits to the posts they read and like / agree with.

Overally, good posts always have higher probability to receive merits with whatever language (English or locals) but English-written posts might have a little higher probabilty (due to higher reading-times)

The lag period between initial publishing time and scraping time (ie. 30 minutes is good) but as I said, quotes of sign message always play its role in that topic. Owners or hackers can delete initial posts but if there are quotes (that we always have, IMO) their actions (delete or edit initial posts) are non-sense.

It is very rarely to see hackers have control on both initial posts and quotes to edit or delete them all. They mostly can not hack some accounts (owners and quoters) or have good relationships with quoters to ask them to edit or delete at the same time.

If you created this bot as request from someone, maybe that user and the others will feel it helpful. I still appreciated your works, lulucrypto.

By now, you already knew how to use your sMerits as consequence of help for the others. I have only one more thing to tell you.

After you finish your merit give away with your sMerits, you have to close the your merit page. Refresh it sometimes creates 'nearly' double spend of your sMerits. For starter like you, I believe each sMerit is precious so I don't think you want to lose one or two sMerits by refreshing your merit page.

It is a bug and already fixed with a notification if one send same amount of merit to one post in a fixed period (from 1 to 2 minutes, I don't remember).

Don't refresh your merit page after sending merits, close it instead!

What if I have altcoins on Crypto Bridge, not BTC? And you are newbie?

That's it. I did not know how to use quote in the past, honestly.

Outside serious board, Meta for example, people tend to post shitposts and nested/pyramid quotes are what we will instantly see if we visit those spam boards. I learned how to quote efficiently when I visited Meta board.

Regarding to quotes, I want to add one more thing: Images inside quotes.

You can skip images in quotes
Or you can adjust original image' size with width or height options.

The risks also exist on computers or laptops but I thought the risks on mobile phones/ devices are higher. It comes from total online time people spent on mobile devices likely higher. It means they expose their wallets with more risks.
Incorrect. If one backup wallet seeds/ private key, then even they lose their mobile phones, they won't lose their money only if they response fastly because the others can crack wallets' PIN/ passphrase to steal their money. Reponse fastly mean accessing the wallet on other devices and move their funds in that wallet to the others ASAP. If you lose your phones, I think you have enough time to secure your fund but you have to do this quickly. Because the odds to have the one who takes/ steal your phones have enough technical skills to hack your wallet's PIN/ passphrase immediately by his/herself is very low. There are not high coincidence like that.

Let's dig back at the root purpose of the forum.

Are there any financial incentives to join the forum as initially planned and always managed by some generations of admins?
No. The forum is the place for discussions, for talking about bitcoin, ideas, and so forth.

There are some ways to get jobs and get money here but the forum was not born because of financial reasons, and it has never played as an exchange (even people still use the forum as a channel to exchange, buy and sell something).

If we look at the forum this way and consider it solely as a place for idea discussions, there is no good reasons to tokenize the forum.
This one is the closest with your idea.

I don't think that the bot on deleted sign messages is useful. Basically, the root purpose of signing a message and stake it in the forum is to be used as proof of ownership for later period, with support from community by quoting the stake message.

The sign message has never shown its wanted usecase if no one quote message in that topic, but fortunately the forum always have users do that step. If the real owner or hacker deleted the stake message, it does not help them because the quote(s) still be here.

The situation is the same for edited stake message. Sometimes, people (who are unfamiliar with signing a message and stake it, then stake it here with wrong format) can come back and edit after listening to recommendation from the community. I don't see any serious things with editing stake message here, of course with support of quote(s).

Anyway, you made your decent efforts to build it and I appreciated it. You are a good guys, with the testing forum using Epochtalk, too. Maybe someone feel it useful.

Yay. You are very fast to fix bugs and response to community's feedback. Keep up your good attitude and build up the Roobet.com site as one of the most trusted and interesting casinos. The Roobet.com is not a newborn one but there are lots of things to be done and improved in order to help Roobet.com fighting against many competitive casinos.

This is what we see in the merit page (of each user)
We don't have any more merit by holding our sMerits and the only thing we can do to accumulate more merits is making good and merit-deserving posts.

The most common complaining thing is giving sMerits away to which posts is a subjective thing to do with each user. One user can think this post is merit-deserving and merit it, while the others don't think so and don't merit it. Fortunately, it is not a thing to complain and start serious arguments because meriting is subjective. Sometimes, an simple answer is helpful for the one who raised a question, or for the one who accidentally find and read the answer that is helpful for his/her-self.

A newbie can start a question like "Where to see the forum rules? Please help". I already know it so I can think the answer is unhelpful for me but the others (who don't know it) think it is helpful and give sMerits to that answer. It is totally fair and very well usage of sMerits.

For holding sMerits, there is nothing wrong with it. If one does not see posts that subjectively thought as merit-deserving, that one will hold their sMerits. To be fair, users don't have to spend their time to scan posts in the forum to give their sMerits away. They can do this naturally and occasionally when they see good posts. In other words, it is not a kind of responsibility.
