I hate when people always complain about the merit system. Those kind of people are just getting pissed off because they're just a Jr. Members and can't rank up. Did you know that the merit system is just for you guys?

I know some profiles who are Jr. Members and managed to gain merits. They didn't complain any single statements about it, they're chilling around while having good contents. If you have enough knowledge about crypto and the system itself, you'll have it.

At first, I lose hope because i thought i'll be stuck in the Full Member forever but after contributing to our local board I gain my 116th merits. I help many people on my contents because it consists many information that can change individuals. Some of it are spoonfeeding and it's really a complete content but it's sad for me that some new members didn't bother to look the contents that will improve them and they just continue to shitpost on some common discussions.

There's a conclusion to every post like this, you're just ranting and feel anger about the merit system because yourself can't even get merits. I as contributor of the local board and others give merits if you're a worthy one. If you feel that you're just shitposting and against in the merit system, then don't rant about it.

Here's a basic logic, if you're here for knowledge, rank is just an optional unless you have to rank up your profile for bounties.

We already seen this kind of case about the merit system many times.
The only thing we could do is to report those accounts.

Reputation <--- This is the ultimate solution, report them and let's help each other vaccinate our community. As you can see in the forum rules, Merit farmer and account buying is strictly prohibited in this forum.

I think you also know what greed is, right? The characteristic of being Impatient means they want to earn really fast without walking in the right path of process.

Additional to my reply,

If you can see in the reputation section, almost of the accounts that getting red trusts are Jr. Members. There are many people creating multiple accounts that is equivalent to the stakes given in Full Member or Sr. Member on bounties.

These accounts result shitposting in the forum and spreading of toxicity in each threads and discussions.

e.g.

In signature campaign,

Jr. Member - 1 stake
Full Member - 5 stakes

Those people creates 5 accounts to match the income of the Full Member in every campaign. In our local, my goal is to diminish the bounty hunters group that abuse the bounties and send each other some bounty campaign links to gain profit. The abusive activity of bounty hunters show that they just only want money without learning any information about investments, projects and other knowledge in crypto.  

For what? Bounty hunting and any stuffs to gain income? Sorry for concluding very fast but as long as you have an account for gaining knowledge in here, your account is enough.

To OP,  this kind of case existed long time ago, before asking and posting a situation like this, please do search first.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1875514.0

This kind of practice avoids to create similar topics and will always make you research for the information you needed before posting in here.

Note: I found the info you need in google 

While looking and searching spreadsheets in each bounty, I was shocked that almost half of thr participants is a Jr. Member and it's a recently created accounts.

That's the reason why I keep pushing myself reporting those accounts to avoid them earning stakes in the bounty. There's a cycle behind this shitposting scenerio, If a Jr. Member was accused as a cheater and received a Red Trust, they can easily register a new account or there are reserved accounts that is ready again to spam the discussion. As you can see, only 30% of the community who takes the discussion seriously and the rest are just typical bounty hunters who want to earn huge profit by shitposting

So while thinking a solution to this, Merit system should be updated and put some Merit requirement atleast 5 merits before reaching the Jr. Member, Hmm   ?
I think the "Report to Moderator" tool is not enough because there are too many of them, Shitpost there, Shitpost here. This kind of activity is very known even in local boards.  

Regarding in the bounty managers, they don't usually check the accounts of the participants to determine if it's a bounty abusers because it's really hard to manage a Bounty campaign consist of thousand participants. For example, In sylon's bounty, Since he is a good and famous Manager, many people always join to his campaign. If there's no bounty hunting, those people will not exist in this well- organized forum.

Okay lang naman magbigay ng merits as long as yung post is magaganda naman at madaming natutulungan. Ano pang sense ng merits natin diba? Pero kung wala namang kwenta yung pinaggagawa sa forum at non-sense posts bakit natin bibigyan ng merits?

Basic logic lang.

Yung mga merit abusers na nakakareceive ng huge amount of merits kahit shitposts/newbie post ang mga gawa, huwag ka na magdalawang isip, ireport mo na. Kaya pabor din ako sa dMerits and Merit Trust Network at madagdagan pa lalo ang merit source para ma-inspire naman sila.

Thanks, pero soon I'll create an Ultimate Guide for all na pwedeng mabasa ng kahit sino man at matutulungan sila ng sobra. Pero syempre kailangan ko ng tulong niyo na ma-pin ang gagawin ko.

I checked the recent posts of each accounts that joined GCOX and I was surprised that they didn't post a single reply in the local board. The posts are located in Announcement, Bounties, Altcoin Discussion, and Bitcoin Discussion. If you're a truly newbie in this forum, the first board you will check is the Local board to ask some things to your fellow citizens unless you have a great knowledge about crypto. Sadly, some posts are not good.


It's true that the Senator didn't promote GCOX for the Filipinos to join the bounty. I think the reason why there are so many Filipinos on that campaign is to have a great assurance for the income. Every bounty hunters have a mindset of securing the profit they will gain right?

Then I just realized, why are some people always pointing out that the race is just a full of bounty hunters? If there's a problem regarding about the bounty hunting you can easily report them. There's a reputation section, you can post all the multiple accounts you will found. It's a common issue, that's why I only stated the reason why there are so many Filipinos in the GCOX since the OP's point is about that.

Nah, it won't. If you are playing poker then it will look like that, the difference is, 9 cards will draw.


Thanks man! My answer is correct, it's 77%.

You should add all the probability of getting 1 pair, 2 pairs, 3 pairs until 4 pairs. Why? because the problem stated "atleast" means there are chances that 2pairs-4pairs will show when we draw 9 cards. This is my Prelims Exam so I just wanted to know if my answer is correct and yeah my solution is right!

This is a proof also that I studied and memorized it until I got home    Because some people might judge me.

PS: LOCKED TOPIC

If you're familiar with the recent fight of Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, the Matthysse vs Pacquiao, fighting for the WBA World Welterweight Title.
During the Face-off (Weigh in) of Matthysse and Pacquiao, that's the first time I heard about the GCOX because they've announced it on tv. The announcer stated that it's a cryptocurrency so I searched and found out that this project is supported by Pacquiao. GCOX is the world’s first global celebrity cryptocurrency exchange, has signed Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao as its first boxing celebrity.

This is the reason why there are many Filipinos in the bounty of GCOX, because of him. Filipinos always support Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao on every fights since his battle with Morales and others. Some people around the world also liked him especially when he had a fight with Mayweather Jr,.

Pacquiao is also a Senator in the Philippines so don't be surprised if there are many Filipinos in the GCOX because Filipinos really like and support him. It's also broadcasted in national channels so there are many people already familiar with it.

Thanks for reading my content about applications that can affect our PC.
Kindly please read also the other topics! Thanks again..

If that is the case, kawawa naman yung programmer dahil pwedeng accused lang siya for not securing the system of garena. Kasi hindi lang naman sa ph nangyari ito, sa ibang server din sa SEA at higit sa lahat, hindi lang ang Garena LoL ang mga ganitong riskware dahil kalat ito sa mga iba't ibang applications.

Some of my topics here are locked, I checked my merit summary and I found all my existing post that has many merits in our local. Those kind of posts are really helpful, It's really obvious right? These posts might be revised by some people in the future, that's the cycle in here. In Meta, there are proper credits because they develop each other content and also they create a very unique topic that can be really helpful in the forum.

My posts should be read by some new members here in our local to avoid those shitposting.

I think 300 is enough, it's possible for those people who has the knowledge on what posts to report. But if you're not quite good on reporting some shitposts then maybe it'll give you many bad reports.

It's just an additional badge or maybe an additional challenge for us to diminish all the shitposters in the forum. For me, the green trust is the greatest reward to achieve by each of us.

I just want to clarify my answer if it's correct.
I use combination to solve the probability

My solution:

P = P of 1 pair + P of 2 pairs + P of 3 pairs + P of 4 pairs
P =

P = 77%

What's yours?



I hope there are mathematicians who can answer my probability problem. I'm struggling on this problem and makes me think all the day to look out the right answer.

I want to know if the application of Mr. crwth is accepted since we really need a merit source on our local. My fellow members in local keep posting some good and informative contents that will really boost up some newbies to be an efficient member of the community. This is a serious problem, because of the lack of merits, they revising some contents from the past that is being locked.

Merits also symbolize as being the original or the most amazing content. The more the merits, the best content that is created for that kind of topic. This kind of symbolization avoids all the revising or creating version 2 of some existing topics.

So I'll help Mr. crwth to bump this application, I don't care to those reasons that crwth is not capable of what he's applying because of that issue about him. I know myself as a fellow member of the local that he is an effective merit source of our local. We, the people of local experienced the situation of being unable to move on that situation.

Why it should be skull?
Good icon tho but i think we should create an icon that will make you really special.

these icons caught my eye and really inspires some members to report all the shitposting specially in discussions and local.

Military badges, it makes me think that im a special ops, busting around some shitposts/spammers.

these ribbons, award from the higher ups for busting spammers.

and the last;

it feels me like naruto; shinobi reporter! i found it cool so yeah thumbs up for this.

If this is possible then i might continue my journey to report some spam posts in our community. @Welsh, I also read your guide for reporting some posts. I currently have 40+ good reports...

About sa monitor depende dahil pwede mo namang gawin by server. For example, 1 monitor sa 10 mining rigs. Pero if kakayanin naman ng server mo, pwede na yung 1 monitor para sa lahat.

If 3M ang budget ng kaibigan mo, then siguro mga 40-50 mining rigs na yon at pwede ka ng magsolo mining dahil 40-50 naman rigs mo at silang apat nalang maghahati per block na makukuwa. Madami ng gumagawa ng ganitong build at nakikita ko naman na nagiging successful sila pero meron namang hindi, kasi dahil sa sobrang risky nito kailangan mo isaalangalang lahat ng factors na pwedeng makaapekto dito. Since ngayon medyo mababa pa ang price value ng BTC, pwede nilang i-take advantage yun dahil expected naman natin na tataas ulit ang btc. Minsan kasi luging lugi ka talaga sa rig and bills after mo subukan ang mining rig kaya mas mabuting gumawa muna ng estimated income bago magtry. Hindi din naman kasi sure income to like gaming rigs for computer shop na alam mong lalaki talaga profit mo. It will take many years siguro bago mo mabawi puhunan mo.


Expect mong tataas talaga ang electricity bill kapag pinasok natin ang mining pero may mga factors na maaring makaiwas sa pagbaba ng bill. Ang isang factor na dito ay ang GPU, dahil yun lang naman ang isa sa dahilan kung bakit tumataas ang power consumption.

Yung consumption talaga ng kuryente ang pinakabigdeal so kahit sabihin nating may pera ka at afford mong bumili ng mining rig pero lack of knowledge about building it, wala din. Matatalo ka sa investment mo sa mining rig, kaya if ever na papasukin mo ang pag mimina, maghanap ng mga pro or technicians na pwedeng magturo sayo ng mga makakabuti sa rig mo. Thanks for appreciating my contents! Goodluck din.


Kasi diba ang bitcoin, may sariling blockchain yan. Kaya din nagkakaroon ng mining pools, galing din BC yan kaya madalas nagkakaron ng network ang miner para mas mapabilis ang pagmina nila ng blocks. Hindi lang bitcoin ang mga blockchain, pati na rin ang Ethereum at iba pang coins.

Doon na rin nag-originate yung blockchain, dahil sa word na chain of blocks. Sa mining talaga nagumpisa ang lahat hanggang sa nagkaroon na ng investments and more dahil sa laws of economics at kung ano ano pa, mas deeper na ang topics.


Thanks for adding it up! Internet connection and the location ng mining rigs. Originally, ang topic ko lang talaga is about hardware and softwares ng mining rigs pero dahil nag add kayo ng factors na maaring makaapekto sa ating mining rig, good job!

Syempre hindi din basta basta ang pagmimina dahil need natin ng mabilis ng internet connection. The more na mabilis ang bits per second mo, mabilis din ang connection mo sa mining, it'll end up smooth like what fries01 said. Location naman is to provide a good ventilation or air path para hindi nagiinit ang mga mining rigs natin. Tama nga na dagdag kuryente din ito kapag nag add tayo ng aircon sa ating location to provide cool air, so it's a big factor din sa pagbuo ng mining rigs dahil 24/7 na gagana yang rigs mo if ever gusto niyong pasukin ang ganitong sistema.


Nabalitaan ko din ito sa iba't ibang groups, pero sa ngayon nagkakaroon na din ng sale sa iba't ibang store. Karamihan lang naman sa mga umuubos ng mga Ti is mga minero din, sila ang pumapapak ng mga GPU kaya nagkakaubusan na.


Better to ask some pros before doing some risky things dahil totoo ngang hindi biro ang pagbuild ng isang mining rigs dahil bukod doon need mo din ng compatibility sa mga rigs mo. Kaya wag talaga tayong manghuhuli sa build, tama hindi purket nilagay ko ang mga best GPU and CPU sa aking content, yun agad ang ating bibilhin. Bigdeal ang compatibility pagdating sa pagbuild kaya mas magandang mag-search muna.

Itong guide na gagawin ko is about rigs na pwedeng gawing pang mining ng bitcoin. Kakabili ko lang din kasi ng High-end PC so i learn something special about it kaya naisipan kong mag-share ng idea about mining. All the informations na gusto niyong malaman about mining na andito ay basics.

Ang unang mong kailangan para magkaroon ka ng mining rig ay ang;


Hindi biro ang magkaroon ng isang mining rig kasi kung walang wala ka talaga, hindi ka makakabili ng mining rig dahil ito ay nagrerequire ng magagandang specs para maganda at klaro ang iyong pag-mining.

Paano tayo magkakaroon ng pera?

Do the simple way here in cryptocurrency. Kung kulang ang pera mo, maghanap ka ng token na pwede kang maginvest at sure kang tataas ang iyong pera. Common investment sa bitcoin dahil alam namin na maaring tumaas ulit ito pagdating ng panahon at kadalasan ito ay tumataas sa Q4 ng taon.

Another way para kumita ka ng pera is bounty hunting. Halos lahat naman ata dito ginagawa na ang bounty hunting para magkaroon ng profit. Kung iipunin mo lahat ng tokens na naipon during your bounty hunting, makakaipon ka na ng isang mining rigs.

Magkano ang budget for mining rigs?

Around 800$ - 1500$ ang aabutin mo. 45000.00 Php - 80000.00 Php, budget friendly na ang ganyang mining rig. Yung ibang mining rigs na sobrang lupet talaga is umaabot ng 2000$.




Kung mapapansin niyo, dati ang gamit talaga sa pag-mine ay CPU pero ngayon ang gamit na talaga ay dapat may GPU.

Ano ba ang CPU?

Central Processing Unit -  is the electronic circuitry within a computer that carries out the instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetic, logical, control and input/output (I/O) operations specified by the instructions.

For short, ang CPU ang dahilan kung bakit tayo nakakapag-run ng programs.  

Ano ba ang GPU?

A graphics processing unit (GPU) is a specialized electronic circuit designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display device.

So ang GPU ay mas mabilis at mas magandang gamitin for mining dahil mas mabilis ito magperform ng algorithms para makapag generate ka ng bitcoins.


Mga dapat mong tandaan sa pagbuo ng mining rig;

a) Graphics card

Halimbawa ng GPU;


source; techradar

Ito yung mga dapat mo talagang paggagastusan, ito yung importanteng factor ng iyong mining rig na dapat isagad mo na kung may budget ka. Kung titipiran mo ito at bibili ka lang ng mura or low specs of GPU, baka mag-fail pa iyong pagmiminia or mabagal.

b) Processor

Halimbawa ng Processor;


source; techradar

It slightly affects the way you run mining pero ang pinakapurpose daw talaga nito is for OS lang. Pero there are informations na nakakaapekto talga 'to, i don't have any information about proci.

c) Power Supply

Halimbawa ng PS;

source; techradar

550 W is enough na to run 1 GPU pero kung gusto mo pang magdagdag ng GPU atleast 2 or more. I recommend na gumamit ka na ng 750W or 1000W + na.

d) Motherboard

Halimbawa ng MoBo;


source; techradar

Sa pagpili ng motherboard, dapat ang bibilhin ay yung maraming PCI-E slots.

Ano ba ang PCI-E slots?

Ito yung mga pinaglalagyan ng GPU mo, kaya mas recommendable gumamit ng MoBo na madaming PCI-E slots dahil pwede kang maglagay ng maraming GPU para mas maging smooth at tumaas ang Hash rate sa pagmimina.

Ano ba ang Hash rate?

It is the output of a hash function and, as it relates to Bitcoin, the Hash Rate is the speed at which a compute is completing an operation in the Bitcoin code. A higher hash rate is better when mining as it increases your opportunity of finding the next block and receiving the reward.

So ayon, the more na mas mataas ang hash rate mas mataas ang makukuwa mong profit sa pagmimina ng bitcoin. Alam naman natin na kapag sinabing rate, it refers about speed kung gaano magcocompute ang iyong GPU ng mga algorithms and computation para magtuloy tuloy ang process mo sa pagmimina.





Syempre after building the mining rig at nakapaglagay ka na ng OS (Operating System), Windows 10 is more recommendable kaysa sa iba.

Ito naman ang mga kailangan mo for your mining rig

a) Updated na drivers and softwares

Makikita niyo naman yang drivers and softwares niyo sa official website ng parts na binili niyo.
For example; AMD Ryzen ang iyong proci and MSI GTX 1050 Ti naman ang iyong GPU. Pwede niyong i-search ang drivers nila sa google and magproceed sa drivers and utility.

Example links;
MSI and AMD

b) Mining softwares
After mong matapos i-install ang mga kailangang drivers and other stuffs para mag work ang different devices na iinput mo sa iyong mining rig, proceed ka na sa Mining softwares.

Examples ng mga Mining softwares.

• CGMiner

CGMiner is probably the most popular and extensive bitcoin mining software. It works for mainly FPGA’s and ASICs but downloading an older version (below 3.7.2) of it will allow you to use it for GPU mining as well.

Installing CGMiner is simple. Simply extract the files to your chosen directory and you’re done. We recommend something simple like C:\Cgminer\


No. 1 ranked miner at pinakilala na ginagamit ng mga taong nagmimina ng bitcoin. Ito yung madalasa gamitin dahil nga pwede kang mag solo mine dito. If you're using personal PC, pasok ka dito sa CGMiner.
Works on Windows, Linux, and Mac.

• Multi Miner

MultiMiner is a desktop application for crypto-coin mining and monitoring on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. MultiMiner simplifies switching individual devices (GPUs, ASICs, FPGAs) between crypto-currencies such as Bitcoin and Litecoin.


c) Coin Wallet

Diba sobrang common sa atin ang coins.ph na ginagamit nating wallet for Bitcoin, syempre meron ding Ether Wallet for Ethereum and other alternative coins. Ito naman ay iba;

Ang coin wallet, Ito ang magsisilbing local mining client mo sa iyong mining rig para makapagmine ka ng bitcoin. Pero itong wallet na ito ay para sa mga nagsosolo lang. Kaya mas recommendable kong sumali nalang kayo ng mining pool dahil doon paghahatian niyo kapag nakabuo na kayo ng isang block ng bitcoin.

Sa solo mining kasi, gamit ang iyong mining rig na nagkakahalaga ng 50k, aabutin ka ng ilang taon para makabuo ka ng isang block. So mabagal ang profit, yung tipong ilang beses ka na nagbayad ng kuryente pero wala ka pa ding profit na nakukuwa. Mas steady ang income mo sa mining pool dahil monthly or semi-annually kumikita ka ng pera.

Pero kung madami ka namang mining rig, it's better na magsolo ka nalang and gumamit ka ng coin wallet. Solo at sobrang laki ng income in months lang, bawing bawi ang pangbayad ng kuryente at maintenance ng mga mining rigs mo.

Ano ba ang mining pool?

Ito yung networks ng mga nagmimina din katulad mo at maghahati hati kayo sa income after niyong makabuo ng isang block at nakadepende ito sa hash power ng mining rig mo.

For short, mas malaki ambag mo, mas malaki ang parte mo.

_______________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________

After mong mabuo lahat ito, you will proceed to Configuration and Optimization ng iyong mining rig. Syempre coding na ang kailangan mo doon. If ever na may interesado about sa bitcoin mining, kindly PM me at telegram for more basic informations. Although, di naman ako kagalingan about bitcoin mining, I tried my best to make a basic tutorial and knowledge about Bitcoin mining. If may background ka naman sa pagbuild ng mga gaming PC, hindi ka na mahihirapan sa pabubuo ng mining rigs.

There are many tutorials naman about coding and configs in youtube, mas better kung manood nalang kayo para ma-set niyo yung mining rig niyo into solo mining or miner sa mining pool. Thank you sa mga nagbasa 'til the end of the content, If ever maraming feedback i would like to continue and study about the configuration para mas madami akong matulungan na gusto din mag mining bukod sa bounty hunting.

Note: This is just a basic knowledge about bitcoin mining, I'm not a professional but i have ideas na pwedeng pwede ko I-share sa inyo so ginawa ko 'tong topic. If ever na may alam din kayo about bitcoin mining, Please develop and spread the knowledge on this thread para ma-avoid ang mga shitposting sa ating local. Thanks!
