Not involved in the bounty.


Ban evasion.







What is 100x Coin? Have you ever asked yourself what that means? It's constantly on the verge of going up 100x? How is that all a sustainable investment or anything other than a complete scam, and why are you supporting it?

You take on bounties for scam projects and then have the nerve to complain when you get scammed.

You have no right to complain if things go bad as you (along with most bounty hunters) have never contributed anything positive here.

You have a worthy application but you are 225 merits away from ranking up; I was thinking this is better suited for those who need less than 50 or even 100 merits (my fault for not stating that explicitly).

Instead of leaving you empty-handed, I'm awarding you a partial scholarship of 25 merits.

Congratulations, you are the first recipient! Enjoy your merits and this official certificate to commemorate the occasion.

Are there any updates on this project? I came across it the other day and can't find any valid criticism of it. The project and network seems to be plugging away; I guess the community is just elsewhere other than on this forum. Is there anybody here who had successful experience with this project?

Edit: after further research I discovered why it never took off: the software is closed-source. You can't have a decentralized project with closed source software. The two ideas are incompatible with one another.

I would pose that perhaps Namecoin and Litecoin also share this distinction; they are pretty benevolent. As is (was) Dogecoin, which Jackson Palmer stated was meant to be a joke, or a "piss take" in his words.

But otherwise I tend to agree with you.

Thanks for your application but unfortunately you do not qualify for the Merit Achievers scholarship.

At least you tried...

Guess everyone else is too... whatever they are... to attempt to earn some merits. I guess the task I gave was exhaustingly difficult or something.

Taking new applications.

Good catch. I haven't seen anyone attempt to do this in a while, make use of the AI generated faces. You do have to know a bit about what to look for in order to spot that one, but there are a few dangly hairs that are blurry for no reason and the off-color splotches are malformed jewelry. Pretty lame but definitely the sign of a scam.

OK I looked at it again and it would appear jobair4 just copied your details, so I removed my neutral rating.

Whoa, its the Chart Buddy.

So what's the consensus here, lower or higher low?

Okay, well I just explained to you exactly what my thought process was when awarding merits and you completely ignored that in order to post this.

You also ignored my question of what your criticism entailed exactly. The problem is I only give merits to my friends? Well, that must mean I have 1,074 friends because that's how many different accounts I've given merits to. Its the 15th biggest "merit circle" on the forum... and we have 97 merit sources. What more do you want from me?

So your gripe is that scam accusations aren't merit-worthy, or what are you saying exactly? How does what I said have anything to do with what you're talking about?


Yeah, that sounds about right.


I give merits to posts I find to be valuable in at least some form. That does not mean that just because you feel you made a good post, I have to merit it.

Actually "like" is not subjective; giving something a Like objectively demonstrates that you like that thing.

The concept of "merit" on the other hand is much more subjective... When you leave a merit you're saying something beyond just liking it -- we have to go into the details as to why something is or is not meritorious.

I will be impressed when there's a single account with a single merit that reports having received their funds. I mean, it will still be bullshit of course, but I would admittedly find it an impressive feat.

I'm pretty sure they're almost broke and just swishing tether around in their own wallets.

A lot of these "refundees" haven't even touched their coins. They're just sitting there, waiting for attention to be focused away from them. LOL.

Some have sent to Poloniex, that's about it.

It occurred to me there should be a merit "scholarship program" for accounts lower than Hero who deserve to rank up.

The forum has been losing a bit of steam over the years and this type of a program serves as an attempt to retain some of our best talent, most creative or knowledgeable members and such. These types of members should be rewarded for their contribution and incentivized to stick around.

It is not meant for those looking to farm accounts or who are here solely to shitpost for cash, or less than cash.

---

For those who submit a competitive application which demonstrates they are capable of contributing to the Bitcointalk community for its betterment in any capacity, they will be awarded enough merits to rank up to the next rank (all the way to Hero Member; limited to one award per member).

However, award distribution is also based on consideration of the program's merit supply. For example, if you are a Senior Member with 490 merits, you are much more likely to get the award than a Senior Member with 250 merits; everything else being equal.

If I don't get around to you, please don't take it personally; I don't have infinity merits and will wait for a day or two before considering anything, anyway.

Incorrectly filled applications will be rejected.



I. Without going into too much detail, tell me the story of your first experience with cryptocurrency. It can be about a purchase, payment, other transaction, or just some anecdote about Bitcoin (200 words or less).


II. Provide links for what you consider to be your three best posts. They don't necessarily have to be your most merited posts, but posts where you strongly believe you provided something of value to the community.


III. That's it! Just post your answers to these two questions below and your application will be officially filed.

Instead of using your alt account to open a thread in Reputation with a somewhat accusatory tone, you should have just posted a Scam Accusation from your main account. You might have even earned a merit or two.

The account you want tagged hasn't even posted in the thread since June 2020, and the scam was up by January 2021. Regardless, I see its been taken care of.

This is incredibly thought provocative and equally as poetic. It could probably be a song.

I didn't think it was possible to end sentences with the word "the", but I was wrong!

It's like... this is what this forum has come to in a nutshell, lol. Just like the saddest attempts to churn out content for the sake of potentially raking in, what, a nickel per post max? Does anyone see a higher caliber potential for earnings here? I'm just amused.

This is some good forensics and it took me down a rabbit hole, revisiting the feud between BitJohn and Gleb for the last hour. I wonder if CZ would care about this sort of thing. Binance has taken actions to stop flows of coins from hacked/scam exchanges. HitBTC... wouldn't count on it.

BitcoinXpress once said that Big Vern started a new exchange in China... guess business from that dried up at some point?

I thought about this and it kind of removes the significance of something being recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain if its only actually recorded on LN. I think Blockstream Liquid allows for token creation, but again, its not really the same thing because there are no records of the transactions on the bitcoin blockchain, which is what makes it special in the first place.

My proctologist told me the same thing.

It is a bit annoying to wade through metric tonnes of raw sewage in order to find the occasional thought-provoking post. There's a few sections where the mods/community simply don't tolerate it, and they are arguably the more important sections of the forum.

The best solution is to create an ignore list so big that you can't access it from your profile.

No you're not.

Your name is Thierry St. Blanc. Look at your first post you dumb dipshit.

What do you think the "SB" portion of your username stands for?  

Where does Livecoin find these retards?

Quite a nice jump today, am a bit sad my orders for XCP on the DEX never went through. I'm still rooting for XCP on the sidelines though.


What is a SOG card?

There is definitely still room for XCP to grow to provide the "gold standard" for Bitcoin-backed NFTs.


Bro are you kidding? All you have to do is look at the posts on this page above yours.
