I saw a thread in this board not that long ago asking what people thought was an acceptable level for a House Edge and while there was some discussion the consensus seemed to be in the 3% to 5% band as an acceptable House Edge

As @suchmoon said, sending the merits back to you *could* very likely be perceived as "back-scratching".

---

Perhaps as a means of "getting rid" of those merits to totally random users, they visit this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5093271.380 I've gone back five pages to April this year, (perhaps go back in that thread even earlier) and gift any posts that are suggested as being merit worthy give *just* *one* merit per user.

Having gone back six months ensures they don't just seed that thread with their own recommendations and one merit per post suggested per user will ensure the merits are cast to the winds in a very random fashion.

Assuming @Rux wants to make amends for past indiscretions.  ??

Might not be anything but...

I just had a look at just about every "Is..." that I could find.  On the 26th of September practically all pages dropped their values to zero (it's more striking for those with green scores).  One or two (such as for Vod) drop to zero every few months.  I somehow don't imagine it's because of transitioning to DT 2 from DT 1.

Paying 20 merits per vouch makes *you* look like the scammer all by yourself.  No one else can be held to blame for that one...  You made the conscience decision to squander your only merits (which were air-dropped merits at that).

Step right up folks!!!

Not once!!!


Not TWICE!!!


BUT WAIT FOR IT!!!

CLAIMING THREE TIMES!!!


Really???

In terms of the Roulette Wheel, it is the Green Zero, (or Green Double Zero for those wheels that have them).

If you bet black or red and green comes up, you loose.  Put simply, that's the house edge, that 1 in 37 that let's the house rake in some funds.

Because they were on their way to being banned for ban evasion I would guess...


I'm sorry to say four out of five in this connection claimed from your give away.

I mean no disrespect to KW the person, but his initial announcement to run many years ago was a spur of the moment announcement and the recent reaffirmation of intent to run could well have been equally spur of the moment.

I agree that if KW wants to run for public office, doing (as you say) run for Governorship (or even deputy Governor) to understand the nuances of public office first.

Why would kakamrul's page show red when they have no negative?

The irony being that quote was lifted from yet another site two days earlier:

That's about where you should have hit the pause button and asked yourself "Do you want to continue?"  instead of continuing with this:


It's off topic and hijacking the thread.

Please stop.

I usually find out whether or not an online Casino is registered or not when I got to visit their site and it comes up with a stern message announcing they are not registered in my jurisdiction.

If the price of bitcoin dropped, I must have blinked as it seems to be about the same as it has been for days/weeks now.  With the election just under a month no one should be enabling mammoth financial packages that might not make it past election day.  There should be a period of "Caretaker" mode the same as in Australia, the UK, New Zealand and Canada between when an election is called and when the returns are declared and the winner decided.

Ban evasion, claiming from the same giveaway on multiple occasions.  (See quoted post for further details)

So we turn our attention to this giveaway:  [Merit] Hey Newbies! Can You Sign A Message?


Bit rich claiming from the same giveaway two days in a row:

One of kamrul50 alts is amongst those who are claiming in the give away thread:

mrmamun was also identified as having an alt in that same thread/post started by @sabotag3x  :


Conclusion:

To me it's very probable that mrmamun is an alt not just of mdmamun but of kamrul50 and kakamrul as well.

I'm also leaning towards Lrshohag being an alt as well due to the similarities in the giveaway thread and dates:

kakamrul and mrmamun are otherwise unconnected, yet they both claim in the same merit give away thread, are from Bangladesh, and first register within three and a half days of each-other.  They are identified in the same post by @sabotag3x as each having an alt, one is banned while the others' alt also claims in this thread.

Reporting:

These alts have been reported by me in the "[Report] Ban Evasion [Requesting Admin/mod to check those and ban]" thread for ban evasion - Yes

I have marked these user's trust feedback pages with distrust

Related Addresses:

There are a great many addresses, twitter/telegram profile names which would require a more in-depth investigation at a later date.

Miscellaneous:

I would not be surprised if more of those claiming in the "Can you sign a message?" thread turn out to be alts as well.

Perhaps they both are:

I'll be back in a couple ofhours and will have another look then.  Thanks for pointing that out.

I'm just parking this here:



From the Mk I known alts thread:


How does one *partly* own an alt account?

We'll have to wait and see I guess.

I am testing out quoting from a locked thread:


This was my very first post in the Mk I Known Alts thread (as you can see I was already offering advice  )

Thank you to @SiNeReiNZzz, @lovesmayfamilis and @o_e_l_e_o for providing this information.

You don't read the first post in a thread you're about to post in?  

See how your post ends in "Q3" you've "replied" to someone else's post by clicking "quote".  Had you clicked "reply" your post would have ended with "Q4".


No, you need to post all the proof so that anyone who wants to compare your work to others doesn't have to go looking for it.

Please keep this in mind should you wish to continue.

Thanks.
