I see that your How to earn merit in 4 EASY steps! was locked.
Well done on finding another way to earn merit  

Joking aside, OP's example and the many "close to ___ rank" topics have gained plenty of merits before. Many members also thought of doing the same because it works in some cases.

Other than OpenBazaar, there is also Syscoin's Blockmarket Desktop version. I've no idea how it is now since I haven't tried it after the first version. It's a shame that they couldn't make the Blockmarket Web version, that would have made a huge difference.

I've promoted this CMA too in social media and also tried their platform. It was pretty simple to use actually and any beginner can easily learn how to advertise or how to offer their services there.

I stopped patronizing the project during the IDAX issue. After calling the exchange for scamming them with the IEO, they suddenly turned 180 and started writing how good the exchange is.

Listing fee is one of the lifeblood of any centralized exchange and some "DEX". There is no way they are going to list new projects for free unless they are also a new exchange. They can offer free listing (without voting) within a few months after launching but once they gained their footing, they will also be charging some listing fees. Some may also offer no listing fees for a longer time but they'll be killing the traders with high transaction fees later.

I went over the exchanges board and found one with no listing fees according to their post.

I remember this unnamed exchange not charging listing fees before but requires new tokens/coins to do airdrops/rains in the exchange's chatbox. I'm not sure if that is still the case.

They used "donate" in their blog but we all know that is not the case if we read further.

Yup! Apprently, it's not enough for the BCH heads to just support the chain thru mining. The decision to force even the small/medium miners to donate will probably hurt their ecosystem in the long run.

---

Yes, that is most likely the case. The 12.5% tax won't probably matter much to large-scale miners. Well, the small/medium miners can quit from May to October (six months) for the mean time and then resume after the "tax period" is over. They would have to sacrifice the little profit they can get though if they won't support the developers thru "donations".

May ginawa akong topic kahapon tungkol sa BCH - BCH: Miners should donate...or else

Bale pagdating ng May, sapilitan na silang hihingi ng donasyon mula sa mga miners para pondohan yung development ng proyekto. Kung meron mang minero na hindi susunod, magiging orphan yung blocks nila. Pakibasa na lang yung iba sa thread ko.

For the sake of finishing the game this week.

Day 5

Washington +1
Lakers -5.5
Blazers +2

Additional funds sent.

Meron ng signature designs na pang-Pinas na gawa ni finaleshot. Meron na din plano para sa t-shrit dahil sa initiative ni cabalism. Pero wala pa ako makitang avatar na maaring isuot na representing Pinas bitcoin/crypto community.

Meron ba interesado gumawa neto? Kung maari sana personalized kagaya nung sa sumbrero ni homer para magkakaiba kung may ibang gusto din magsuot.

I'm willing to pay at least 20 xrp as reward sa magugustuhan ko. Hindi kalakihan pero pwede na siguro pang-meryenda 

(This is not a contest ha)

 

I don't really follow the development of this coin but I came across this blog on twitter - Infrastructure Funding Plan for Bitcoin Cash

They will be requiring miners to "donate" 12.5% to support the bcash ecosystem and anyone who doesn't follow will have their blocks orphaned.


This must be the new method for "crowdfunding" now (miners turning into donors)  
Don't you guys think this move makes the whole bcash project centralized?

It appears that the current investors funding bcash are no longer willing to pump more into the development fund. Also, if more miners will not approve this, the whole project could go down. What would Roger do if that happens? Increase bock size again?

I've been slowly learning about Linux. Thanks!

Thanks for the early notice @DarkStar_
It was kind of fun being part of over 150+ applicants and making it to "round 2"

Our local guys @mk4 and @harizen are doing well so I guess we'll have to wait for them to retire before applying for that next opening.
My bad. I didn't check the spreadsheet. Thanks for the correction @rodskee

Hey man, we've had some discussions in our local board if you still remember but that was before you started working for that site. I had to put you on ignore when you've been creating a lot of topics with beincrypto links.

Anyway, I've always thought you were a decent user and can contribute more to the forum. It feels refreshing to see you make a topic without any links 

Kahit pa bitcoin, hindi natin pwedeng sabihin na tiyak na aangat ang presyo kahit mas dumami ang mag-hodl. Pwede din kasi na hindi umangat dahil walang gustong bumili o walang gustong bumili ng mahal. Malabo siya syempre pero pwedeng mangyari. Tandaan natin na subject to speculation pa din and bitcoin kaya huwag tayong magpaka-siguro.

The chain was broken earlier at 1060000 sats https://twitter.com/gh0ste7/status/1219920429193797632 but it seems a certain @jimmyhomma sent another 1060000 to a different person to keep the torch running https://twitter.com/hodlonaut/status/1220120377151643648

It looks like it stopped at 1,130,000 sats again https://twitter.com/ronnie_barkan/status/1220185714161139714

It's definitely a fun way to attract attention. I hope someone tags Peter and have him create a LN wallet   

@Coin_trader what's the status of this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5142115.msg53669033#msg53669033 ?
@Casdinyard please confirm if you received the above loan.

It's close between friend and social media. I was introduced to airdrops/bounties thru social media and it was the main reason why I created an account here but the first time I heard about bitcoin was thru a friend. That was before I started joining airdrops/bounties. I just can't remember if she ever mentioned about bitcointalk. I voted for friend anyway, there's no bitcointalk without bitcoin.

I'm not sure if that can be reported for low quality but he/she has been posting like that for the longest time. I guess it's allowed?

I don't think so. Unlike those guys posting beincrypto links, this user has been posting articles from different sources including popular sites like yahoo and cointelegraph.

Tsk hindi ako nakataya para sa Day 3, sayang. May estimated time ba kung kelan ka maka-post ng panibagong game @Russlenat? 

inhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaale exhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaale mo lang yan bro
