More importantly is the concept that I can’t be corrupted. There is nothing anyone could offer me to entice me to sell them merit. I had money when I came to this forum and started playing with bitcoin, being an early adopter has nothing to do with it. In fact, I started playing with bitcoin because I’m retired and bored, not because I was looking for a way to get rich.

That’s the real plague currently destroying this forum. Everyone using this forum now just wants to make a quick buck and couldn’t give a shit about any cryptocurrency. They could care less that bitcoin has the potential to return power to the people by giving them control over their money. They don’t care that fractional reserve banking is destroying the world economy and oppressing 99% of world citizens.

Here’s how you get a “fraction of one” = get a job and buy it! Help create something that this community values and sell it. Start buying the things that you need with bitcoin and taking bitcoin in trade for things you sell. Don’t pollute the value of bitcoin by diluting the idea of cryptocurrency (that means stop trading and buying shitcoins only because you can earn a six pack of beer a week doing it).

That’s not the problem with exchanges bro. Every exchange requires you to comply with AML/KYC laws. It has nothing to do with your wallet or changing addresses.

I looked at your entire history (which wasn’t difficult because you haven’t been here very long). You are participating more than the last 10 accounts I looked at with half of the time involved. Because you don’t have much history I’m going to split the amount and give you 10. If you keep doing what you’re doing now, come see me in 3-4 months and I’ll give you the other half.

No, sorry but your post history is 55 pages of nothing. There’s nothing constructive about one liners in a gambling subsection.

That’s right, it’s not the merchants. The weak link always has been and will continue to be exchanges.

If you’re the customer of a brothel where you routinely cheat on your wife and you pay the same receiving address in btc every time and the only thing they sell is sex then you’re in trouble. It’s going to be easy for your wife to look at your joint wallet and see you’ve been paying a brothel. You have two choices, stop cheating on your wife or start paying in cash.

However, if you are buying online at a marketplace that sells drugs, guns, knitting supplies and ceramic collectible figurines then their could be some doubt about what you purchased because all of those things are paid for into the same address.   

OTOH, If you’re dealing with an exchange to buy btc or sell btc then you have to assume every government agent in the world was given all of that transaction info. Transacting at any exchange in the world eliminates, as you say, “any degree of financial privacy”.

Based on your history, I can’t see any participation at all. You mostly copy-paste news stories from other places. As far as I know you’re a sophisticated bot.

All of the Jr members posting here need to reread the OP. The most entertaining thing you Jr’s are doing is copying the OP and asking for merit without ever reading what you’re copying. LOL

I’ll take a look at it, thanks for letting me know.

Yari_k, maremostro, dauwaz, Mudah_rezeki, theyoungmillionaire and marvtridon - none of you read the OP and do not qualify according to the rules of this thread.

I was a bit turned off by all of your ICO announce threads but this post is really what did it for me:


That’s the behavior that the merit system should be working to eliminate. I’m sorry, I can’t help you.

I’m sorry but you don’t qualify according to the rules of the thread. It appears that you don’t really need help anyway. You seem to be ranking up just fine on your own.

Sorry, in this thread I will only award merit once per person to the maximum of 20.

This forum began sliding down the slippery slope when paid signatures were introduced. This place is no longer the hub of crypto brainstorming or serious discussion because of paid signatures. I’m sorry but I can’t help you implement the final obliteration of any remaining value this forum might have.

That quiz is not to support the forum it’s to gain you merit. Nice try though.

Forbes, CNBC, Bloomberg, Reuters, etc. are running the story and quoting a statement released by the Reserve Bank of India. I think it’s real enough. See the actual press release below.

To the three posters above this post:

You are all here only to make money. If this forum was discussing jelly donuts and paying you it wouldn’t matter to you. You are the problem and will not get any help here.

You easily qualify and I will award you the merit but you have no posts. You barely have enough for Full Member. Your post quality is great but you will need to double your activity to rank up and that will take months. You’re obviously not here to make money and enjoy the discussion so you don’t really need rank anyway. 20 merit awarded.

I’ll give you half because only half of your post history is more than one liners in “games and rounds”. 10 merit awarded.

Yes, I like the idea and gave you some merit to help you out.

I easily found 20 posts that could reasonably have received 1 merit. 20 merit awarded

I’m sorry, I just don’t speak any Indonesian at all and attempting to translate that much info would become a full time job. I translated one of your posts and it looked promising. If you can get BitRentX (Indonesian local sub mod) to tell me you deserve merit I will help you.
