Well, a bit of both: I simply do not count those posts towards your entries for the round, given that you have at least 7 other quality posts for the round. Otherwise, the posts would count towards your score, but it would end up being a very low score because of its lack of quality.

Great idea, but I haven't been able to revisit this challenge for over a week because of my unexpected schedule, so I'd wait on donating anything just yet We still have a good cushion in the account for now, so let's wait until we're in need of more funds to keep this going. Is that cool with you?

I'll make sure to add you to the sponsors! So sorry about that; it's been a shit week lol

He has been disqualified anyways, for lack of relevant posts for Round 6.

Updated. Good luck! We'll see how close you are when I start the judging for Round 7. Sit tight!

Very well said! Took the words right out of my mouth lol

Hey all, quick update:

First of all, my most profound apologies for my absence for the past two rounds. I hope you guys don't mind, but I will award Round 6 and Round 7 after reviewing the entries this week. But I'm going to have to take the next two weeks off and resume the challenge again on May 6.

Real life has caught up, and unfortunately, I've been stuck doing some major freelance gigs that required grueling hours on a daily basis. By the time I had free time for myself, it was literally to snack on something and check my personal emails before I knocked out for the day.

I literally just submitted one of my projects, and have a few more, but felt the need to update you guys, which, trust me, I meant to do much sooner than I am.

Please please please forgive me for the hiatus, and I promise we will get back to the challenge as soon as I know I can dedicate the few hours this needs. I would hate to be in the same position again as for the end of Round 6, where I've left you guys hanging for this long because I've been too busy.

Also, for those of you that don't know, I've recently accepted a Marketing Director position for a new crypto company, and we are nearing the beta launch of our first service website. We're also nearing the launch of our first funding round, so that has also been taking a ton of my time lately.

I meant to update you guys sooner, but I had no idea that my workload would hit me like a ton of bricks.

Thanks so much for your patience, all, and I hope you can understand why I need to take this brief hiatus. I'll be sure to update you guys with details when I'm ready to accept applicants again for the next round, which will be Round 8, starting on May 6.

The spreadsheet will continue to be turned off for now, just to indicate that the challenge is currently on hiatus.

I'll leave the thread open until Thursday so you guys can discuss anything you need, but feel free to PM me with any questions you may have until the thread is re-opened again when the application process begins for Round 8.

Thanks again for your patience, and my most sincere apologies for my unannounced absence.

Hey guys, sorry, but I am having an extremely busy week and working on a few hours of sleep. I promise that I will get through this by end of day today!

Every week, the spreadsheet is taken down during the scoring process. Please do not request access to it; it will become publicly accessible again once the scoring is done.

For now, make sure to get in your applications for Round 7! And sit tight, a winner for Round 6 will be announced by morning!

I’m just here for the pizza, but looks like everyone forgot to bring it.

Jerks.

Oh, and good job, bitmover; I always light up a bit when it comes to reviewing your posts on a weekly basis, and to watch the progression of merit growth for your account has been pretty phenomenal. I’ve said it before and I will continue to say it: this forum needs more members like you!

Here’s to the next 100 merits!

Here’s a tad bit more support for a great cause. Keep it up, and whoever the hacker was, make sure to thank them lol. I believe there is always good, even where there is bad. Good luck moving forward!

I could throw down a couple bucks for this project. Just tell me which address to send it to, and how much will help you get the ball rollin'!

If you're looking for a detailed and honest (keyword: honest) review of your service, I'll take a vouch copy.

Before choosing a wallet, you should DYOR (do your own research). We all have our own choices and preferences when it comes to what we want in a wallet, but if you want to see what different types of wallets can offer you, check out this page: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

Clicking through to each type of wallet will give you a brief overview and description of what the wallet provides/lacks.

Before choosing a wallet, however, make sure that you understand how to keep your Bitcoins/wallet secure: https://bitcoin.org/en/secure-your-wallet

Welcome to Bitcointalk, and I hope you have a great time here!

Read this and fully understand it before deciding to choose a wallet: https://bitcoin.org/en/secure-your-wallet

As @OmegaStarScream stated, any wallet you choose leaves your bitcoin at risk, whether it's a hot wallet, hardware wallet or even a cold storage wallet and true anonymity is near impossible to achieve using Bitcoin.

Actually, Satoshi did, indeed, create Bitcointalk. The original forums for Bitcoin was hosted at bitcoin.sourcefourge.net (no longer active) before it was migrated here (bitcointalk.org) in 2009.

Nope. This is not okay. I'll change my feedback to a neutral one if/when you remove this line.

Your link was more-than-likely removed because it contained a referral link. If you simply post your TLD, you should be fine.

I would like to join the other top-merited users of all time in this thread in endorsing @LoyceV as an excellent choice to become a merit source.

It's kind of awkward, honestly, to see certain merit sources (well, just one) voicing their particular methods in how they disperse merit while highly-criticizing others' methods and insulting them in slanderous ways. All the while, @LoyceV is sitting patiently twiddling their thumbs and undoubtedly sitting on a list of posts that are waiting to be merited

Do the forums a solid and make it happen, @theymos!

Bumping this thread to discourage duplicate threads from being created; this deserves to be on the first page

Being new is not an excuse for being lazy. Use the search feature next time.

For your reference, here is the link to the official merit topic: Merit & new rank requirements.

Can you kindly lock this topic now, so we don't get a multitude of spamposters that will answer the question over and over again? You can lock the topic by clicking on the "Lock topic" link in the bottom left of this page.

Thanks.

Re-opened. I need a VCC with $5 on it. I’m willing to pay up to $8 in BTC/ETH. If you’re a Newbie or Jr. Member, you will get paid after the vcc is confirmed (used). Otherwise, I’ll pay first to anyone with positive trust. Post here or PM me with your price if you can make this happen. Thanks!

Just in case anyone takes your answer serious:

Blockbuster Video did NOT operate a distributed ledger.
They kept a private ledger for the movies that its customers had checked out at any given time. Blockbuster was a centralized organization that operated a centralized ledger.

While I know you were making an attempt at humor with your post, I just don't want anyone to take it serious as a "fun" or "whimsical" answer to explain what a distributed ledger is.
