I didn’t know that the merit distribution in the observer thread Can be an indicator in when the price increases.Probably a lot of the members who are sending merits there have their positive and happy vibe and just feels giving away merit. Maybe give away BTC too? Lol Cheesy
It is never wrong that when BTC has big changes in price, people will have more activity. It can come from their unstable mentality (happy, sad, panic, etc.)

Especially when they feel happy, in a good mood, they will easily to dump their sMerits. Think deeper, there are always people who feel happy and sad in opposite ways (in both pump and dump waves).

I don't have data on postcount (daily) in WO but I am sure postcounts in WO increase significantly when BTC has pump/ dump.

The emotional effects on merit distributions can be seen around holidays, Christmas, New year, Anniversary periods. If you notice, there are 3 spikes with merit time-series plot, the highest one (and the first one is when merit system was kicked-off), the second one (but is the third in value) is on September 2018 when the merit system was enhanced and old-era Junior members were demoted; the third one (but is the second highest in value) is about late of 2019 when the forum has its 10th anniversary and there was an Art contest -- besides that some members run merit give-aways for New year.

Fun facts for today. Enjoy WO gang!

  • Ignore all the massacres, pumps and dumps, in terms of medians (3 types) and minimums (2 types), Bitcoin is in its uptrend, over year.
  • Volume is in low range
  • 'Ghost month' is over, the East can boost volume up a bit soon

Do you prepare your Hodlpium?

  • Fun-fact time-series plots for you.
  • No description because plots tell you the story.
  • Pay attention on multipliers


  • In 3 types of median,2 types of min, p25 and p75 of daily low price BTC is in its uptrend.
  • Look at p25, p75. If you buy BTC in price from $ 4155 to $10037 in years between 2018 till now, you are fine.
  • If you bought BTC at a bit higher price than the lowest in a weak-down in March, you are fine
  • Next target of BTC would be somewhere around $12300 (max_h)

Congratulations to all bitcoiners!  Cheesy

You asked and I listened, then worked. Please check (click on quote link to see full details).  Cheesy

It is not a correct comparison but you can take figures and compare them.
  • 21171 smerits per 30 for all 97 merit sources
  • Median of monthly merit is 21289, interquartile range is from 18592 to 23482. See details with the newest update for monthly merit
  • Last month (2020m9, September)
    • 19821 smerits were distributed from merit sources and non-merit sources
    • 1030 members have sent merit transactions
    • 74.2% of 1030 senders sent out 1-10 merit in September *
    • Senders (less than 7%) in groups from 31+ are mainly merit sources
    • From all available data, non-merit source members actively sent out their sMerit but of course they did not empty all of their sMerits
  • As per Pareto principle, top-20 merit earners earned ~88% of total earned merits on the forum (data is outdated). If you are high quality posters, you earn it, earn a lot!

Chronological changes of top 200 merit receivers / senders since Jan 2018. Merit sources do their works well since beginning and they increase their sendouts (in values, and intensity) after the reallocation last year.

The first plot for 5 groups shows the fact well and you can see more detailed fact in the top 10 senders (note that not all 10 members are merit sources). I've not yet make plot for all 97 merit sources and don't see reason to make it (5-group plot is enough).
4426  Other / Meta / Re: Possible solution to merit burning on: October 08, 2020, 04:22:56 PM
If something will be burnt, it should be airdropped merit that has not been used so far.

For earned merit and smerit, I don't find reasons to burn them.  Cool


When I click on Merit I see
Quote
There is no point in hoarding sMerit; keeping it yourself does not benefit you, and we reserve the right to decay unused sMerit in the future.

Merit burning is issue for merit sources. They have 21171 smerits per 30 days. More details on merit source observations

It is not a correct comparison but you can take figures and compare them.
  • 21171 smerits per 30 for all 97 merit sources

Those figures can give us the idea that there are members hoard their smerits.
As said, if something will be burnt, it should be airdropped sMerits. For earned merit, people can hoard it.


That thread One fault with the merit system was created before yours and why not keep discussion going in that one?

Intra-month merits (from 24/1/2018 to 30/9/2020)
There are days dropped in order to get data for entire month. Days with id > 981 are dropped because those days belong to the incomplete September of 2020 (2020m10).

Time series plot

Basic statistics:
- 50% of observed months (33 months) have total intra-month merits above 21289, whilst the rest 50% of them have total intra-month merits below 21289. 21289 is the median - p50.
- 50% of observed months have total intra-month merits fluctuated in the range from 18592 to 23482 (the interquartile range, from p25 to p75, in raw statistics below).
- Min - max: 15609 - 48374.

Time series plot

Basic statistics:
- 50% of observed weeks (140 weeks) have total intra-week merits above 4656, whilst the rest 50% of them have total intra-week merits below 4656. 4656 is the median - p50.
- 50% of observed weeks have total intra-week merits fluctuated in the range from 4254 to 5484 (the interquartile range, from p25 to p75, in raw statistics below).
- Min - max: 3186 - 27920.

It means that potential outliers are weeks that have intra-week merits beyond 2409 or 7329.
How many weeks are potential outliers?
Code:
.  count if (merit >= 7329 | merit < 2409) & merit != .
  10
10 weeks are outliers, in total.

If you want to expand your thread to Bitcoin mixers, you can get one Bestmixer.io. The shutdown of Bestmixer.io gave a reason for BitBlender.io -- that used to be a big and trusted mixer, to make a scam exit. They blamed on the risk of shutdown from Europol and run away with customers' fund.

This is the BEGINNERS & HELP BOARD a board to
+ give answers to -newbies- questions
See the unofficial rules. If the rule is applied strictly, no guides are accepted in Beginners & Help and it is place for newbies raise questions, then others leave replies to help. In reality, guides are accepted in this board and that rule is unofficial.
Beginners & Help - All primitive questions (to pros like us Cool) like "what are ASICS", "who is satoshi" and "what is mining" should stay here.

Off-topic - "Other topics that might be of interest to bitcoiners"

There are overlaps and sometimes each member and even each staff has different opinion on it. Consequently, if you report a topic like "Please move this one to Off-topic", moderator A accepts yours but moderator B won't. It depends.

Some members bring articles or phishing sites, fake application findings into Beginners & Help and accepted to be exist there. IMO, they belong to Scam accusations.

Per board descriptions above, you can see how complicated when you have to classify one thread is belong to Beginners & Help or Off-topic. Threads (guides) are related to security, privacy can be classified in Beginners & Help or Off-topic. It depends on each member, each moderator and I am sure that no one can say decision is right or wrong.

I don't know if this is official but merit giveaway alsi happens on the board
In 2017 and 2018, merit giveaway threads are immediately moved to Off-topic (community complained a lot) but recent months, I see moderators accept merit giveaway thread existence in Beginners & Help.

Summary
  • Use report button if you see one thread is released in inaccurate board.
  • If your report fails or if you see one thread does not fit your needs, ignore it. Be simple, be kind and no need to be serious Cheesy


Up till now, it is a forum limited rule:
  • Members are free to move their threads back and forth.
  • No limitations on how many times they can move their threads.
  • No restriction if a thread was moved from original board (Beginners & Help) by moderator, it won't be allowed to move back to that board by thread owner.

I can see some people are using custom avatar with WO hat. You are editing the WO hat and using that. If I'm not wrong, xhomerx10 is the creator of the avatars and thus, you don't have the right to customize it without his permission. You should ask first to xhomerx10 whether you can edit the hat or not.
Just my two cent.
I don't know what the others did before they have customized-avatars (cap, especially) and applied here. But for me, it is as below.
How about this cap? Honestly, I did not make the cap, xhomerx10 made it.  Cheesy



I believe xhomerx10 is fine with such caps, even people customize it but sure it is the best if you ask for his permission (in private message or public post) before doing customization.

I asked his help to create the avatar I am wearning now but he misunderstood my idea and created the BeardedBaby cap above. I am sorry the BeardedBaby because I did not ask for his permission to use the image of bearded baby. Cheesy


By the way, I have a proposal for Best_Change:

If you see good positive effects from customized avatars, you can move further to open avatar campaigns, I am sure some guys from the ChipMixer gangs will join the party. They are free from avatars and they are undoubtedly high-quality enthusiasts.

For several days already on cryptotalk forum there is a drop of DLRS tokens to get which you need to write 100 posts per week. Nobody knows what a token is, but activity on the forum is just huge and the posts are written by people who do not even understand what the cryptocurrencies are.
Are there rule for plagiarism and ban on rule-breaker (plagiarism, ie.)? Zero or low value posts probably come from plagiarism. I guess no rule, no ban.
4437  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do people avoid bitcoin? on: October 07, 2020, 06:58:28 AM
I do notice that some people naturally don’t allow bitcoin in any of their daily transactions
Totally wrong. You misunderstood it. People can not allow or disallow bitcoin and bitcoin transactions. Miners do it because bitcoin is operated by Proof-of-work and transaction will be confirmed by miners, not a person.

Quote
even when it faster and easier, they still don’t prefer using it
Bitcoin block time is about 10 minutes for one block. Sometimes it can be longer or shorter than 10 minutes but in median, block time is 10 minutes. When you make one transaction, the waiting time to see it gets first confirmation will depends on the fee rate you set up for your transaction and the mempool status. If the mempool is clear, with the same rate, you can get faster transaction than when mempool is loaded a lot. Check mempool status and see my guide for more explanation

Second-layer solution as Lightning Network can bring much faster transactions but development pace and adoption are still limited.

I have noticed this a lot, Some classes of human,Sometimes when they are to receive money from another country like international transfer sometimes it takes 2 3 days to arrive,They will advise them to use bitcoin and they still don’t accept it even it faster and easier. Now how come we make bitcoin come to people.
As said above, the speed of confirmation depends on the fee rate you use. If the mempool is stucked and you use fee rate at 1 satoshi/(v)byte, your transaction can be stucked for days or even 2 weeks before difficulty on the network was readjusted and mempool status becomes better.


Reasons to use bitcoin, IMO:
  • Be your own bank.
  • No one can freeze your bitcoin
  • A fixed total supply, deflation over time (after each 4-year halving, block rewards will be halvened)
  • Decentralization
Note that you need to use non-custodial wallets (Bitcoin Core, Electrum) to be your own bank.
4438  Other / Meta / Re: Bitcoin talk could fix the spam in one move....REMOVE SIGNATURE...Right?? on: October 07, 2020, 05:07:37 AM
What if members want to speak without ads and signatures?
- Use Telegram, Discord, private messages  (or any other dead forum)
Telegram and Discords are more spammy. I can not catch flows of discussion on Telegram or Discord especially if I am in a big community. Messages are flooded in a matter of seconds.

If you see spam and scam on the forum, I don't argue with you about it. However, spam and scam are more popular on Telegram, Discords, it is the point.

If you want to have secret and self-destroyed conversation, it is ok to use Telegram. Remember it is a risky method because you rely on Telegram's responsibility to protect your privacy. In terms of serious private information, it is best if you keep them offline, talk in person is better than talk in secret chats on any platform.

Dead forums: They are dead so where a place to have meaningful discussion to learn from and to discuss with others. No benefit to join any dead signature-, avatar-free forums.
