That is correct. Read the Merit & new rank requirements thread for more details.


If you make a post that someone thinks deserves Merit they'll give it to you. Have a search of this board and you'll find hundreds of post discussing that and you'll find many different opinions on how to get Merit. I would say forget about Merit and just use the forum to learn about and discuss Bitcoin and Merit will come to you.

The cashless society is something being forced on us by big brother government so they can watch every cent you spend. That's why this is a perfect antidote to that, Bitcoin can be passed from person to person without even the need for a blockchain transaction, complete anonymity.

Read the thread. These are cards with an NFC chip in them. It is not impossible, these things exist.

I doubt it would still be here if it wasn't.


It always shows the recent withdrawals including a link to a block explorer.

The current payout address is https://btc.com/329koRvovTyNnd4ADrpR2uJHzXxfvKxta5

Although I think there is more than one address we use.

Or for wetsuits privacy.

Sites that give full statistics tend to be the ones with crowdfunded bankrolls. They need that level of transparency for their investors.

The support email is the best way to contact them rather than through the forum PM system. I'm sure they will get back to you as soon as they can. All previous technical issues reported in this thread were dealt with and I'm confident they'll rectify this soon.

Can I suggest a slight change to the layout on the display of roulette bets? The new date and time field is too short to display the time unless you open it in its own tab.

If you moved it to its own line then the time would fit in the box.

It is fairly new but yes halved rewards are only for accounts that don't meet certain minimum requirements of wagering, playing jackpots, buying lottos tickets and/or keeping a certain balance.

See below:





I gave all the information wetsuit gave me above but I believe that getting 17 rather than 22 means that they are most of the way there. It looks to be increased proportionally rather than just a switch when you get back to full reward.


I'm also guessing that it is roughly based on the same algorithm as the bonus BTC but with the addition of taking your balance into account.

Unless you and your friend have exactly the same free-roll, gambling and deposit history the algorithm will give different outputs.

The amount gambled is indeed quite impressive compared to other dice sites.   You can also see the withdrawals on the stats page and they add up to a large amount as well.

The 5% house edge isn't what we keep to ourselves it is the gross income. That has to pay for the faucet and all the lottery tickets and reward points we give away. Then all the hosting costs etc. and what is left over is the profit.

@Triple_S
Yes, you got it right while I was typing up this.

The resignation came 4 days before the red paint was splattered.


Reasonably fair looking at the Most generous merit senders, all time page. The said Global Moderator is 14th with 445 Merit sent.

As for other sources with red paint, I don't know but I'd guess it would depend on the circumstances rather than be a set rule.

When I used to manage data networks for an investment bank the IT security officer would hire an external security consultancy to perform penetration and vulnerability testing. We would never know anything about it until the results came back. I'd like to know many exchanges do the same thing.

I've had my account since 2013 which was probably the last time I read the ToS until I got that email yesterday. So I've got no idea if that's new or not either.

I never hold much coin there anyway, but that certainly doesn't encourage me to start doing so.

They still use the phrase 'may be required'.


This still sort of indicates it isn't being done universally across all customers and/or locations. Paragraph 2 is a bit more disturbing.

It's only a matter of time.


There is no way the main financial exchanges were going to sit back and let new upstart exchanges take all the profit. It might seem like it is slow to us, but it is only 9 nine years in and those old players are naturally cautious. They were always going to wait and see how it grew before getting involved. This is a reminder that anyone getting involved in Bitcoin now is an early adopter.

Maybe send a reminder to Cyrus and theymos via PM, but probably not more than once a week.

No, it doesn't make it null and void. Efficiency is the most important factor in determining the profitability of the miner.


It will be interesting to see how competitive Halong can be with pricing going forward. With network difficulty and BTC price both being beyond prediction you can't make any accurate forecasts about how long it will take to recover capital expenditure.



That's funny as that was the point I was making to you:-

That doesn't change that these are more efficient than the S9 so will give you more BTC for every $ you spend on electricity. That's the only thing that should matter.

The object is to make money not burn off expensive tyres for the sake of making some noise. You'll make the most money by running them at the most energy-efficient setting.

You can never really tell with Twitter, they seem quite arbitrary in applying the impersonation rule. They have even banned parody accounts before that are obviously not the person they're making fun of. I think it is far easier to make the case that @Bitcoin is being used to fool people that it is an official account.

That's the right shot. It just doesn't show because your account is Newbie rank.

That depends on what the post is reported for. Spam low-value posts usually just get deleted whereas plagiarism is a permaban, other things may be somewhere in between. If the moderator thinks it is a spambot they'll probably ban it. The 100% accuracy just means that a moderator didn't mark it as an incorrect report.

There is no forum rule against giving Merit to a shitpost, so nobody is going to get banned for that.

You get scared by a network you are not forced to use. 


You get scared of things you don't understand.


You get scared of leaving a computer online.


You get scared by misinformation. There's been a lot of work to mitigate potential DDoS attacks. You can close a channel anytime you like so your funds are not locked up.
