Funniest thing about flat earthers is when they explain how their sun or moon moves but never really explain why they move they way they do. Flat earthers do not believe in gravity, so, why would the moon or the sun be moving around the world at all? If god made the sun, why not make it like a switch. Gives light for 16 hours and then it's turned off for 8, for everyone, everywhere. But no, somehow he randomly made it that only in some places there is light.

Nothing unusual. Check his registration date, seems that all the posts were deleted and that's why the activity went 0 but the merits are there. I guess it's a tradet account and the buyer is covering tracks by deleting old posts of the previous owner.
I don't think this is the case, actually. I don't see a single "received merit" when I check under their history. It seems that it was just a "bug" during the initial distribution of merit. When the system was released there were certain members that had their merit counts incorrect. It's possible that they just received an incorrect amount of merit to begin with. Deleting posts that have been merited does not cover up your tracks, it just keeps the merit stats and replaces it with "Deleted post" +1 or something. Do you have any proof this person has received a single merit? Let me be more clear, I wrote my comment while I was waiting someone to pick me up, coz I forgot my keys, then he came and had no time for detailed explanation. So, the account was a full member with all the activity and had the default amount of merit (100) for his rank. Then the owner decide to delete all his posts and start all over. When your posts are deleted, you are loosing the activity generated by them. The merit on the other hand, is something you cannot lose. So the default amount of 100 will remain even without any activity. There is no merit history, because he got the default merit back on 25 of January, when the system was introduced and he was a Full Member that time. I hope now it's more clear  I actually think his posts got deleted with the recent post recount made by theymos when he deleted thousands of posts and threads and a lot of people were complaining about having less posts or as you said he deleted them himself but it wouldn't really make much sense. |

Is the spreadsheet for social media updated?

Bitcointalk is a public forum, a place for people to learn about crypto and to voice
their opinions. I have been on many forums over the years and they all have their
fair share of shitposts and minimal posts.
There are threads of hundreds of pages and lets face it at this stage noone is going
to read them all but the threads are alive because people are making it so.
There are also threads with a couple of pages that are not worth reading but thats
subjective and not what 100% of people would think.
So what im saying is no i wouldnt agree with the proposition, we have to take the
rough with the smooth so to speak.
People that cut their sentences like you always seem very suspicious, like are you trying to make it seem like you are writing more or what's the point? Your post is also quite useless, you didn't even propose a solution. These ideas probably go in the right direction:
- Allow a max. Number of posts per user depending on his rank, per period (activity is measured every two weeks, so that could be the period).
- Limit the number of subjects a user can open per period in much the same way as above. Note that lowest ranks may have a 0 limit.
- Place a Max Number of topics per thread lower than current. Only moderators could extend this limit.
- Let thread number of allowed posts be also related to merit. For example, a thread with less than 3% of posts
with assigned merit is locked unless more posts within thread are merited and the 3% threshold is surpassed. A certain amount of initial thread posts need to be allowed nevertheless regardless of this rule to get it started, say 50 posts max. before applying the 3% merited post rule. Note that the percentage should be set based on a study of available raw data.
Some threads should be spared from strict rules such as bounty threads since contents is different by nature.
Allowing a max number of posts wouldn't really be a good idea, there are useful threads with plenty of posts from the same people. Limiting the threads an user can open would be good, however the best and most efficient solution is to report them not only to mods but to people that would red tag them. |

It's an escape from reality where you can become the hero. Speaking from personal experience, I was addicted to videogames like league of legends for years. I liked to win and would break doors and keyboards when losing. It was my way of saying ''I'm not doing very well in real life'' however most people think that addicted players are lazy or stupid which is far from reality, the truth is that most of them are actually depressed or extremely stressed with real life and need help.

my suggestion to dev forum for making this system ... every member MIN RANK MEMBER have sMerit every day , so everyday sMerit can be generate Legendary: 10sMerit perday
Hero: 5merit perday
Full Member: 2 meri per day
member: 1 smerit per day My suggestion, shut the fuck up about merits. Petition to ban merit posts from now on  I have been watching meta for the past few weeks, lurking, it's filled with merit posts and 99% of them are from people that are trying to receive merits, they really don't give a shit. I'm sure 50% of the merits awarded are here in the meta section. Well you must see this post made by zentdex and see if your belief about meta section got 50% merit or not, and i believe you will be shocked when you see the results. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3093768.msg31934877#msg31934877Other section (parent board of meta section) only get 9% of total merits from user. I think you re not lurking enough in meta because you missed this great thread made by zentdex. Lastly, do not talk over something just based on your perception in to something, bring a valid fact and data. Nope, I'm actually right, local or alternate cryptos have more merits overall because they have way more threads and active users than meta but if you look at the average, ''other'' has ''11'' average merit which is the highest. Oh now you changed the measurement, last post you said 50% of the merits awarded are here in the meta section, doesnt it mean you are implying that 50% of total merit awarded for users on the forum is given in the meta, no? and now you said the average of merits in the meta section. 34% total merit on local board vs 9% total merit on other section, still denying the fact that meta is not the board which getting 50% merits awarded by your last statement. Look how people can easily change the topic just to not accepting that they are wrong. Pity. That was a guess, what's your problem, are you trying to gain some merits? My point was that most of the threads here are fishing for some merits and as you can see with the average of merits given in the meta section, it's working. If the meta section had as many threads as the others it would certainly be the top section when it comes to merits. |

The meaning of life is a philosophical question concerning the significance of life or existence in general
The truth is that there is no good answer because, well, we really don't have one. No one knows the ''meaning'' of life. No one knows if we were created with a purpose or if there is something else after dying. Religions like to claim there is but they are all stupid beliefs. It doesn't mean something like a god doesn't exist. As I said, the reality is that we don't know. I personally think that IF there is a meaning/purpose, it would be something that we can't even begin to imagine right now or maybe not even understand because of our limited brain capacity. Think of it like a dog, you can definitely teach a dog a lot of tricks but you will never be able to teach a dog to play chess, he will simply not understand it, ever. The same thing could be happening to us right now so it's better not to think about it because it's usually a waste of time and one thing is certain, we all have limited time. |

Dude, signs that earth is warming are recorded all around the world. Conspiracy theorists love to disregard science, you have plenty of them, denying moon landings or saying that the earth is flat, you cannot convince these people of anything. The reality is that the average temperature has risen over the last century. Now there is some debate on whether is our fault or not. ''The top authority for assessing scientific research on climate change has concluded that global warming is "unequivocal," that humans are "extremely likely" to be the dominant cause'' Now obviously, scientists do not have enough data about this, no one was measuring the earth's temperature thousands of years ago and it's also not entirely clear what is causing it, if it's indeed our fault. However to say that it is a hoax and basically think that somehow all these scientists are working together to lie to us about it is quite stupid. Thankfully our god, Elon Musk will take us to mars and we won't need to worry about it |

Probably the best way to get merits is by helping other people, there are plenty of forum sections where you can help new bitcoin/cryptocurrency users or anyone in general. You don't necessarily need to write full pages of content to get merit as long as what you write is useful or helpful to someone.

You should have sold long ago, this mentality of holding forever is not the best thing you can do when it comes to cryptos. Everyone knows they are extremely volatile so why not set a limit of how much you are willing to lose before selling. Everyone knew this crash was going to happen eventually, maybe not to this degree but still it was definitely coming. People had plenty of time to sell. If you bought at 15k and you are still holding at 7.5k then you don't know how to trade and if you are in for the long long term you shouldn't even care. Bitcoin is still worth the same as it was 3 months ago, the crash isn't really that big if you consider that. The bubble busted but that doesn't mean it's not going to recover, cryptos are still in early development and although the market cap has hit like 800b that's still nothing. Other international markets have 50 Trillion as marketcap. Cryptos can literally be used anywhere so a 800b marketcap is really meaningless.

Hi,
I really ike this idea, indeed, because it would mean that we have managed to get rid ok banks.
However, I see 2 main problems, preventing bitcoin from being used as a daily money:
1) for the moment most shops don't have any infrastructure to manage bitcoin. I guess most owners do not even know about it
2) the current volatility of bitcoin make it completely inaccurate for daily use
What do you think?
3. High fees 4. Slow transactions 5. No benefit for the shops 6. Still really hard to exchange bitcoins for usd/or any other currency These problems are huge, hard to solve. Bitcoin is better used as a store of value than a currency. Let other currencies do that job. |

Seems literally impossible now. There is no benefit for them and there will never be, other coins however could be implemented, other coins that actually work like a currency, something that bitcoin is not equipped to do right now. Fees way too high, transactions way too slow, volatility. Steam just dropped bitcoin as a payment for these reasons.
Well said if this problem still not solved for over some months bitcoin will be very hard to accept by local businesses even some international stores that accepting btc will drop this payment method because of very many problems facing right now by bitcoins much better to use altcoins like xrp or xlm with very low transaction fees. Just look at the price, 7k dollar drop in 1 day, imagine that a lot of people paid in bitcoins and you didn't sell them at that time, what do you have now, a massive loss for no reason. |

Bittrex still has not responded to my support ticket concerning the legacy account problem and verification.
MONTHS. IT HAS BEEN MONTHS. Can someone post the contact details, my lawyer needs them to send the initial demand letter.
Just use the 2fa trick dude, it's the fastest and most reliable way of getting their attention. It worked for me and more people. Just send them another support ticket requesting 2fa removal and you will get a live admin to talk to you in 1-2 days, ask him for verification, they usually do it. |

It is a good reminder to the bitcoin community users to remind them to always check the bitcoin address before they hit the send button on their bitcoin wallets, as bitcoin price rise over the moon, hackers are more active trying to target more bitcoin users in order to gain access to their bitcoins in many different ways.
Yeah but as far as I understand it, the hacker changed the ''send address'' on the website itself so even if you checked the address it would be the right address because the hacker already changed the address when you copied it. |

In my opinion crypto currency will never replace fiat.. fiat is the one of indentity for every countries and crypto currency it just will be alternative methode of payment.. eventhough now crypto currency is more increase day by day, but really difficult to replace fiat..
They just need to solve a few problems before they can actually be used as day to day currencies. Bitcoin can't right now and perhaps never will, the fees and transaction times are too high so it can't be used as normal currency, look at steam, they had to drop bitcoin as payment because it wasn't good for them, that says it all. |
