To show that last month was not a fluke, here is another monthly overview of the local boards that is released in the reasonable time frame. As always charts and table are made using data from @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboard and @TryNinja Ninjastic.space. Thanks guys for your awesome tools! Communities marked with * (Pakistan, Nigerian, Bangladesh) don't have their own local boards. Not yet at least.
Post activity per local board during March 2022After few months of decline, we finally have increase; during March 2022, 19044 posts were written across local boards which is 7% increase compared to February. I honestly expected for this decline to continue but I am glad that I was wrong. As always, Russian board is far ahead of the other and that number is even more impressive when you take into consideration that in order to access bitcointalk from Russia you have to use VPN. Rest of the top 5 consist of standard names: Turkish, German, Indonesian and Portuguese boards, while similar situation is at the bottom that is also occupied by usual suspects. When it comes to biggest gainers, only 2 really stand out, and they don't even have their own local board, Pakistan and Nigerian. While in February Pakistan post count was already impressive 301 in March they had 696 that is 130% increase that puts them at very high 6th spot. Regarding Nigerian, their increase is impressive as well; from 191 in February to 348 in March so that makes it ~78% increase.
Number of posters per local board during March 2022Even though there was a decent increase in the amount of posts written, that was not followed by the increase of active members as during March 1359 users wrote at least 1 post, while February number was slightly higher, 1396 users. Given that fact, numbers are very similar to the previous period whihc is kinda expected anyway as new members don't easily come and disappear but rather people increase or decrease their activity.
Post/user ratio per local board for March 2022Due popular demand and suggestion, I am introducing new chart that shows post per user ratio across local boards. As expected, more active boards tend to have higher ratio as it makes it much easier to enter into discussions if you have more different users.
Merit shared per local board during March 2022The increase of number of posts was followed by merit increase; during March. 6981 merits were shared that makes it approximately 10% increase compared to February during which 6340 merits were shared across all local boards. When it comes to ranks, no surprises there: Russian is far ahead followed by Turkish, German and Italian. Top 8 is almost identical to February, with only Indonesian board dropping few spots down. When it comes to biggest gainers, three boards that stand out are Pakistan and Italian. Italian board increased merit shared by ~36% (from 539 to 736) and that is a very good result for such a big board, while Pakistan board had the biggest increase, from 130 in February to 200 during March and all that while not even having their own local board. Worth mentioning are also French and Nigerian who also had decent increase but imho those numbers could be even higher. Regarding decrease of the merit shared, the only local board that stands out is Indonesian that had 322 merits shared during March, which is almost 40% decrease compared to February and 536 merits shared.
Merit senders/receivers per local board for March 2022 As always, pretty straightforward chart. The only difference I may make in the future is to sort the boards by total amount of senders/receivers and not based on the amount shared like I was doing for now.
Merit/Post ratio per local board for March 2022More or less the same names are at the top, with Dutch board kinda screwing up the chart. Such a high merit/post ratio tends to happen with less active boards as its very easy to affect it by reltively small amount of merit shared. like it happened in March. That's why I introduced the 12 month average part so it gives a clearer picture of what's really going on in the local boards and to negate these amplitudes.
The most active members per local board during March 2022And for the end of this monthly overview, list of the most active members across all local boards and several that are yet to get that status. |

there are a lot im not sure which .... i was asking for something someone here use
Here is the the list of recommended bitcointalk escrow services so as long as you stick to those, you should be fine. The only question is whether they will want to do the business with you if you want it for account sales which is something that is frowned upon here, to say the least. |

Aspettiamo fiduciosi i grafici di @Rikafip, che inserirň immediatamente, come al solito, non appena saranno prodotti, nell'eterna lotta tra la produttivitŕ e la pigrizia! (ne so qualcosa, se non si fosse notato!) Sarai felice di sapere che i grafici sono finiti, tutto ciň che devo fare ora č scrivere il testo che dovrebbe essere fatto domani. Il mese prossimo potrei anche batterti e pubblicare le classifiche piů velocemente.  p.s come sempre, le tue panoramiche non hanno eguali nei dettagli! |

In fact, many exchangers can have our logo without being our partners, as it is our requirement to place the logo.As such, our logo without partnership does not necessarily mean that the exchanger is not legit, you need to look at other factors as well.
Yeah I understand that, but they explicitly named you as one of the partners on their website. Maybe I wasn't clear enough in my previous post but its basically the same case like this one from a few weeks ago.  https://web.archive.org/web/20220412093327/https://my24pay.com/en |

Just saw this option for the very first time in my settings.
Is it only available for selected roles or for everyone?
Afaik, its only available to Hero/Legendary members, VIP, donators and mods. |

Ma ništa od toga... Ne pratim ni HNL niti bilo koji sport na dovoljnoj razini da bi mogao nešto pametno pisati o tome. Utakmicu pogledam jedino ako igra repka (i tu ne mislim samo na nogomet) ili eventualno kad šogor i punac dođu jer su oni ludi za sportom pa uvijek neki sport mora biti na TV-u. Svaka cast slackovicu! Rekao sam to ranije ali ponoviti cu opet: da je vise clanova foruma kao ti i pise samo tamo gdje zaista zeli a ne da se prilagodjava i onda palamudi o stvarima koje ga u biti ne zanimaju, ovaj forum bi bio puno bolje mjesto. Jos da samo manageri skuze da vecina ekipe koja pise u gambling dijelu se uopce ne kocka i ne kladi, brzo bi maknuli taj zahtjev. Imamo, da. Ali je u Offtopicu kojeg nitko ne broji u kampanjama pa se ljudima valjda ne da pisati.
Vidis to nisam znao, da se postovi i u domacem offtopicu ne broje, mislio sam da se to odnosi samo na eng dio. Ali dobro, ja sam bio skoro 2 godine u BC a oni mi nisu uopce brojali domace postove pa valjda nisam ni skuzio zbog toga. |

Also i see on your page that you'r partnets with bestchange.com but on him website you are not on partners list. So i think you try to scam people. 100% scammers , i try to connect with them in live chat and ask them about partnership with bestchange.com and they ban me from chat  Yep, most likely scammers as I couldn't find any mention of them on BestChange website either and of course fake reviews is another red flag. Anyway, I asked about them in BestChange thread and once they confirm that they have nothing to do with them I will raise the flag but until then negative tag will suffice. |

Hey @Best_Change, seems like there is yet another exchanger that is trying to use your name in order to appear more legit so can you please confirm that you have nothing to do with them as I can't find their name on your website. They would probably remain unnoticed if they haven't paid for fake reviews in their ANN thread. |

He can create a thread to what he is offering but right now we need to discuss what's on the topic guerilla marketing is also effective and you just need a good imagination to implement this, this is just one of the explanations of what Guerilla marketing is What Is Guerrilla Marketing? 11 Examples to Inspire Your Brand While guerrila marketing can indeed be very efficient and is often used, when it comes to crypto it's just an euphemism for classic shilling. They go around ANN threads, Telegram groups, Twitter and other social media platforms making those fake conversations that can be spotted miles away and are generally of very low quality. |

That's true. I used it a time when I made some good profits, so I didn't pay that much attention.
Yeah that's the thing about the fees, they are not a problem until you start buying something regularly. Let's say that you are making 8-10 round trip flights per year, 10% higher price adds up and it's not like you can remain anonymous when buying the airline ticket. But it's a good thing nevertheless, to have that extra option as you never know when you could have issues with your card. That reminds me of the article I read recently about bunch of Russian tourists that got stranded in some country as their credit/debit cards and flights home got cancelled due sanctions. That's why I always try to have few hundreds of dollars on my mobile phone bitcoin wallet as you never know when you gonna need it. So, the only option for a long time will be to exchange the crypto into a fiat and live from it and, when possible, spend the crypto directly in those few places where it is possible.
Not the only option; you can move to Salvador and freely spend your bitcoin there . Joke aside I agree, still a long road ahead for bitcoin to reach the point where we can spend it directly on majority of places and some compromises will have to be made. What surprise me though is are people that are complaining about adoption going slow, while bitcoin has been around for only ~13 years which is nothing really, and so much has been done already. |

I have financed parts of my holidays with Bitcoin. Sites like Travala accept crypto for hotels and airline tickets. They even accept LN payments. I heard about Travala but never really bothered to check it out as I don't know anyone irl that used them and didn't want to risk buying airline ticket and then finding out that something is wrong at the check in, but good to hear that they are legit. I just compared the prices with skyscanner (which I usually use when buying airline tickets) and Travala is on average 10% more expensive. Not a big difference for cheap flights, but when you are buying round trip ticket that costs $500+, its noticeable. Since I travel a lot I will try to use them this year to see how is it going on. And like you said, Croatia and the Balkans aren't really the places for that. I have had more luck when I am in Germany, but lately I find it much easier to convert whatever I plan to spend to fiat and just use that.
While situation may be better in Germany, I don't think that you could live solely on Bitcoin (excluding 3rd party) there either and probably nowhere in Europe for that matter. At least not normal life, without serious constraints. I don't really know what's the situation in Bosnia and Serbia regarding crypto adoption, but Croatia ain't bad at all, especially if we count all the merchants that are using Paycek and other payment processors. Slovenia is probably far ahead the other ex-Yu countries, but they don't count themselves as Balkan anyway. |

This YouTuber lives in Canada, a country in the West. So, naturally, it’s easier to do it there than in many poorer regions of the world. But it’s still an intriguing and courageous live choice. If all of it is true, of course.
At first I thought that he is paying everything directly with Bitcoin, no 3rd party services included and that would be extremely hard to do but then I saw that he is using services like bitrefill which makes it easier so yeah, I don't think that is impossible at all but kudos to him nevertheless, its certainly not an easy thing to do and is still very rare. If using payment processors like Paycek, crypto debit cards and BTC ATMs counts as living on bitcoin then I can say that I lived many times for days in a row while max was ~2 weeks (went on a holiday and everything was paid with previously mentioned methods) and I know some people irl that lived much longer than that. If we exclude those methods and count only direct bitcoin payments with no 3rd party involved, I don't think that something like that is possible in Croatia. What about you, have you tried living on bitcoin? |

Nutildah finally showed signs of life. This is very pleasing. On April 1, he changed his avatar.
I hope it's a sign of him coming back and not just April 1st joke. Looking at the avatar I think it might be the latter but I would be gladly proven wrong. Nutildah, come back, the forum misses you. I have learned a lot from you, and I would like to have you among us. +1 |

yep the whole idea of DCA is to tempt people into blindly buying at whatever price every month so that those that want to exit can have a higher price to sell at. on a predictive day, Nah, the whole idea of DCA to making investing in something that you believe in the long run as simple as possible, I don't think that there is some conspiracy going on. After all no one is putting gun to your head to buy at 1st of each month, that date is just used as an example. a better idea, yes deposit at the start of the month(or anytime of the month) and if your willing to buy at any price like suggested by the DCA's.. dont. instead be ok to look at the charts to see if that day is a high for the week/month and wait out for a dip/correction and then buy. Easier said than done, especially for someone who is not good at trading or doesn't want to spend time looking at charts and timing the market. I tried that in the past but since I suck at trading I rather opted for DCA. Experienced trader could surely end up with more BTC but I honestly don't care whether I am buying BTC at 40k or 43k since I am not buying it with the intention to sell anytime soon. |

our registeration progress not finished yet and we’re working on that, as you know registring the company in Estonia is not hard thing to lie about that and using the same registeration number.
So you want to say that you decided to go live with the exchange before registration process even finished? That honestly doesn't sound much better than the fact that you used someone else's registration number. Your excuse is nothing new though, it's always lazy developer fault.. Either way, your exchange should be avoided at all cost so I am supporting the flag against you. |

Safuu was a titano fork and all these new projects are safuu fork. Some changes in codes and whitepaper to come up with the best of the protocol. Most of these project is audited and did KYC. Not sure if you can call this scam for forking a popular protocol. Being fork is not a problem here (SAFUU event mentions Titano on their website) but the fact that Darth Protocol copied Safuu whitepaper word for word, not mentioning anywhere that they are their fork and that's ain't right. They didn't even bother to change the name of some of the Safuu mechanism which shows laziness. Most of these project is audited and did KYC
Isn't Darth Protocol team anon, as I can't find their team members anywhere. But even if they are not, that doesn't change much as Safuu creator doxxed himself and they are also exit scam waiting to happen. Why do you think Bryan Weiler changed his name when he started Safuu? Certainly not because of his good reputation. In the end, the participants will suffer from this if I close the bounties.
What about the people that would loose the money if they invested in this? There is no scenario in which this project ends up being success. |

By the way, I seem to recall the issue of KingsDen having alt accounts not being a new one by any means. Does anyone remember this being brought up before? I know I commented on it in at least one thread, though it could have been a year or more ago and I don't know which section it might have been in or even how to quickly find the post(s) I made about it.
Are you maybe referring to KingsDen and Magicalking....alts? thread that was started by you? nutildah had strong suspicion that same person was behind those two accounts. |

What address is the same, please explain in more detail because there is no similarity in the post?
which equals older posts means plagiarism.. it can result in permanent bans
alviemery96 edited his post on September 17th, so that's why the same address is not visible at first. Luckily, all posts on forum are archived in their original and unedited version so this is how post looked like originally. Here is the original version of the post. In certain cases that wouldn't be much of a proof as anyone can use anyone else's address (for example you can use my address to try set me up), but in this case both accounts are posting exclusively in bounty section. Question is, why would he use your address? It's not like your post was right on top of his so he copy/pasted by mistake. Even if both of those accounts are yours, you are not breaking any rules as long as you keep those accounts in separate campaigns and as long you are not ban evading. |

What you think is a quality topic doesn't necessarily mean that others think the same. But even if you think that some topics are not merited enough, there are plenty of merit giveaway threads around to which you can apply. Situations where I saw something similar (on the regular basis) to what you described is when a fake newbie comes to B & H section and start giving advice on what to do on the forum and similar bs. People often see through those merit fishing attempts and that's how you get what you described.
By the way, care to share some examples of what you are talking about, just to see what's your idea of a quality topic? That way we could answer to your question better.

Will BTC price movement continue to have the same effect on alts price in like 10 years? 20 years maybe? Let's hear some expert opinions.
I personally believe that BTC will still influence altcoin price in that timeframe, but to what degree will depend on bitcoin's dominance on the market. Since I currently don't see altcoins that can even remotely endanger that I think that bitcoin will set up the pace for years to come. Bitcoin has been taking lead over all other crypto but I don't think it will by any means determine their fate in succeeding as a currency as well, but base on the present situation of what we can see, bitcoin prize is not the determinant to altcoins price but it influence can alter little changes in their speculations
Little changes? If bitcoin suddenly drop by 50%, rest assured that huge majority of altcoins would go down by 90-99% and would seal their fate as many of them don't have any utility at all. We've seen it back in 2018 and it would be the same thing all over again. |
