Unfortunately, at the same time Twitter became place to be for all sort of shillers, and signal to noise ratio is very bad. Practically the whole Twitter influencer scene is just one shiller after the another, and the amount of scammers there will soon overtake Telegram, which we all know is a cesspool.

Looking at Indonesian board post count evolution , looks like there is a less posts in the altcoin board than usual (as sen in the screenshot below). My guess is that there was some kind of cleaning, meaning one of your mods could have deleted some old topics or moved them somewhere else, causing this difference in the post count. It wouldn't be a first time, and certainly last this has happened.





Haha good one

It's just the beginning of the month and I am already being called out for slacking. Gonna try to make new monthly overview by the end of this week.

The way things are developing and bar lowering down constantly, soon even that won't be a requirement. Managers have to fill those spots, I can't imagine any of them saying to potential client "sorry, I have to pass because I simply can't fill your signature campaign with quality posters as all that is left are shitposters".


You can  be a decent poster in the gambling board, and still fail to meet that amount of merit.

Looking at your posting history so far, I have one suggestion; start formatting copied text properly. It's not an offense as you included reference link, but its a bad posting style nevertheless.

On top of that, 4/5 posts written by you are topics in which you didn't add a single word by yourself, it was all copy/paste. Topics like that, in which you don't add your personal opinion on the matter are usually seen as low value, and might be reported&deleted by forum staff. I don't know if its just laziness or just merit fishing attempts, but that approach won't bring you far on this forum.

Odradio i ja test, slabih 36/50. Ona ekonomska pitanja su me skroz sjebala. Iskreno, vecinu njih ni nisam posteno procitao nego sam random odgovarao tako da je ogromna vecina bila pogresna.


Ja sam kliknuo BTC zato sto sam pretpostavljao da se to trazi kao odgovor jer je test primarno o BTCu, iako je i meni logicnije da ETH trenutno ima vise korisnika zbog svega sto se trenutno dogadja na DeFi i NFT sceni, i onoga sto vidim oko sebe.

I did the test as well, but forgot to take screenshot. Maybe even better as I scored 36/50, which is quite embarrassing, seeing how others performed. Those economy questions completely ruined my score, as I was almost randomly choosing answers and didn't have much luck, and on top of that I made several stupid mistakes due hastiness and not properly reading all the answers.

At least I learned couple of new things, so can't say I wasted those ~10 minutes it took me to finish the test.

The way social media bounty campaign is usually done here is as effective as thread bumping, meaning its a waste of money and time.

I was crazy enough to check the work of an average bounty hunter several times while looking for alts, and to use that famous line from Blade Runner's "Tears in Rain" scene, I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. What do you think, what kind of reach can social media account have when it's usually followed by other bounty hunters, because who else will follow social media account that just spews crap from dozens of altcoin campaigns, simultaneously? Don't get me started on article campaign, where illiterate bounty hunters are text spinning wp content..

I don't know whether you heard about it or not, but there is a certain amount of men that are attracted to other men, and probably watch and pay for that stuff. Those people that are attracted to own sex are called homosexuals, you might wanna read more about it in this Wikipedia article.

I think that you misunderstood the first post, OP didn't suggest admins putting extra restrictions, but bounty managers agreeing not to allow newbie accounts joining campaigns.



Its true that those more capable/experienced ones will easily find a way to get couple of merits and circumvent that restrictions either via one of the giveaway threads, or making some bullshit story and writing what other members want to hear, therefore showering them with merit, like in this case, when someone allegedly went from first time hearing about LN and implementing it to having 4 different persons paying via LN, and all that in a matter of couple of hours. Easy 63 merits from that bs story. Rinse and repeat.

It would still stop bunch of clueless ones that never left bounty section and have no idea how easy is to get the merit. But as i said earlier it won't happen as its not in the bounty managers interest, no matter what they say.

Reality is that bounty managers need those newbies joining in, even though we all know that they are probably alt accounts. They probably promise some numbers to their clients and without alt accounts it probably wouldn't be possible to reach needed numbers.

So no, I don't see that restriction being applied any time soon, or at least not by majority of bounty managers.

I've been less active for the last couple of months, but not because I got bored of bitcointalk of because something is bothering me, but because something much more simple; I got shit load of extra work and can't afford so much leisure which I spent here time (as I could before) . Hopefully that changes soon.

Hah, nice catch!

To me this sounds like just another bullshit story we heared countless time before. But even (for the sake of argument) say that what you are saying is right, how can anyone believe you as you are ready tu give your account to other people? Just that fact alone makes you untrustworthy.

Taking it pretty much the same way I took all other previous bans in other countries, meaning not caring about it at all. It is true that this ban is probably the harshest so far in China and market reacted to it, but to be honest, the less Bitcoin has to do with China, the better. So whatever happens, its not bad for Bitcoin in the long run.

Nope, generalization. Some boards do have high merit/post ratio, while others are struggling. My local board (Croatian) struggled a lot until this recent increase in merit sources, with our merit/post average being lower than many English boards.


This forum would be way less active if there are no local boards so I think that they are great addition. What you obviously fail to understand is that is perfectly normal for people to be more relaxed communicating in their own language, even if they are fluent in English. To be honest, its kinda weird hearing this from you...somehow I thought that you are proponent of local boards.



Again generalization. While it's true that some local boards have more merit sources and its easier to get merit, same goes for English speaking boards. 



Yep, that was situation up until now and the reason why Chinese board was mostly left out of charts. But since I started using ninjastic.space for Russian board, it is logical to expand it for others too so Chinese will most likely be included in the next month's overview.

You mean something like this, merit senders and receivers per month?


Source: https://public.tableau.com/views/BitcointalkMeritDashboard/MeritSendersReceivers?:language=en-US&:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link


Or if you want total amount of merit senders and receivers, this is one of the ways to see it. List is much longer, you just have to scroll it down. Looking at it, there have been 1542 merit senders and 1423 merit receivers on your board since January 24th 2018 up until now, or more precisely September 24th.

Dugo iscekivani pregled naseg boarda je napokon tu. Podaci uz pomoc kojih sam napravio chartove i listu su preuzeti sa @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboarda te @TryNinja ninjastic.space

Broj postova  u periodu 01.08.-31.08.


S obzirom da da je u navedenom periodu napisano 502 posta (pad od cca 10% u odnosu na 7/2021) negativni trend se nastavlja. Nadam se da je ovom trendu posto je ljeto zavrsilo, te ce ljudi imati vise vremena i volje piskarati na forumu. Pozitivno je i sto su nasa dva glavna spammera opet u kampanjama koje broje domace postove, tako da bi nam i to moglo pomoci da malo povecamo brojke.








Kao sto se iz prilozenog vidi, i dalje stojimo skroz ok. Izgubili smo pokoje mjesto u zadnjih par mjeseci ali i dalje nije nista zabrinjavajuce jer i vecina ostalih boardova ima slicne probleme sa konstantnim smanjivanjem aktivnosti.

Analiza merita za period 01.08 -31.08.

Ovaj pad aktivnosti se srecom nije odrazio na kolicinu podijeljenog merita tako da je 8/2021 sa 252 podijeljena merita bio jos bolji u odnosu na 7/2021 i broj od 242 merita. To nam je ujedno i treci najbolji rezultat uopce te stvarno mislim da sada nema izlike za domace clanove koji preferiraju pisanje na domacem boardu da ne rankaju, naravno pod uvjetom da pisu korisne postove.




A ni ovaj chart uopce ne izgleda lose, te smo sada napokon redovno u gornjoj polovici, gdje i zasluzujemo uzimajuci u obzir kolicinu postova te kvaliteta clanova i rasprava.




Jo jedan rekord oboren, merit/post ratio nam stvarno izgleda odlicno. Ispada da u prosjeku svaki drugi post dobije merit, sto je fenomenalno jer ne tako davno bili smo u situaciju da u projeku tek svaki 9/10 post dobije merit, sto je jako malo. Ovaj 12-mjesecni prosjek naravno i dalje kaska, ali i on ce se dizati ako zadrzimo ovu razinu.

As I told you before, no need to ask for permission, feel free to use these charts whenever you want. As long as you mention the source of course.


Because Merit Dashboard tracks that only for boards, not specific topics. There are probably ways to get that info for Pakistan topic (manually counting?) so if you figure it out and can provide the info I will include it in the chart.



I do track merit for 3 communities that don't have their own local board (Nigerian, Pakistan and Bangladesh), but not senders/receivers due before mentioned reasons. Originally, Serbian topic was included in those charts too (from 10/2020 to 04/2021), but post activity there dropped so much that I decided to remove it and focus only on those communities that have regular activity and some chances of getting their own local board, as that was the idea behind adding communities that don't have their own local boards, to somewhat help them, or at least try.

Same old same old, China banning Bitcoin. This sums it up





I remember back in old days ( for me that's 2013-2014) I used to worry about news like that, but now I caae t the point where I don't care about short term stuff like that as I am into this for a long run anyway.

Prego!

Prometto che la prossima panoramica mensile sarà completata entro la prima settimana di ottobre. 

I tried that, to no avail. Thinking if it, I talked to every single person I know IRL (that is into crypto) about bitcointalk and responses I got were from "bitcointalk is one big signature campaign circlejerk and echo chamber" (that's coming from veterans) to "what can I find on bitcointalk that I can't find someplace else" (mostly coming from new people). Neither is true, but that's how they perceive bitcointalk.



That's one of the advantages of big boards like Russian, German and Turkish; they are practically self-sufficient and members can find everything inside their own board. So even if they know English to some degree, majority of them will just rather stay there.
