As I know from before, you have to reapply for every new cycle when new funds are available

Can I keep my signature and automatically enroll in the next round if there will be any?

The sentence is from the day /the first hours/ the merit was implemented so it is completely normal to gain so much attention. People tried to test the system and gave some points to the first few valuable comments.

Well, that's the whole idea of the merit. If it's too easy then everyone will have it.

Don't give those cheaters extra ideas man, I'm sure they are already sniffing around for merit backdoor.
BTW why don't you put up a link in your sig to this Fit to Talk project?
Seems useful but a lot of ppl are unaware of it,definitely needs more popularity. My English is also a bit broken, so I'll trow an eye on it too if I get enough free time and you need to be in a mood for such things, right

If that's the case then I suspect someone else is posing from your IP. I wonder if this could be the case. Check the message>

Anyone else connected to your network? Are you using VPN?

Yes, including searching. When you rank up the time is reduced. For Full member and up is 4 seconds. For Member it was 11 seconds. Idk for Jr. and newbies, but it can be found in the rules somewhere.

I read somewhere a month ago that 1 merit costs around 40$, if that's true I have given for free more then a few couple of thousands to the folks.
There will always be a way to cheat the system.
What disturbed me was a thing that someone mentioned a service where you can buy merit from the Hero or Leg, but he is writhing a quality post for you, which you get to post as your own and then he merits this post. Idk what is the price and how he is doing this but man, this is crazy...
Just rumors I read in some of the local broads...

In this untrustworthy crypto world you should always double/triple check where you send your money to.
Where did you found this mixer, btw.


OMG, typical fuckers trying to get away with it... this should be a good lesson, man.

Please man, no SIR.. or if you gonna use "sir" here in the forum then use it like in the military. 

Noo, jk, it is informal forum here so everyone are like friends, no need for you to show respect this way, just assume that everyone here are equal human beings /well except for the bots/ and communicate with them as you gonna communicate with your fellow mates.

There were a lot of merit abuses in the first two months, I guess people got scared to send merit. There were many innocent that got tagged, tho. Well, there was no official announcement of the change, besides this thread and people just begin to try it as " no one reads the user manuals".
We need more time for full overview I think.

Great analysis man, as usual.
From 48K to 19K this is a big fall, idk if this is only because the initial sMerit now is almost totally distributed or because there are less quality posts.
Lets see if in the next month the number will fall under the merit source limit.

I personally turned hugeblack into Sr Member and TheQuin into Hero, so you can add them to your lists too
Assuming that they started as Full member and Sr Member.

Congrats mate, now you are a member. Keep up the good work

I can give you an advice here, avoid merit begging and you gonna have a chance to get some.
DTs doesn't like such behaviour and you probably will get tagged if you cross your path with one of them.
If you do so, I'll remove my quote too

Btw, keep posting good stuff and you gonna be rewarded, I'm sure. When you reach 9 merit and you need one, come to me, I can help

Yes, I started with 10 initial merit. Idk about the others but you can move me in the appropriate list, when ready.

Any updates here? The last time I checked / few days ago/there was no change.

I've been trough something similar. I was laughing at a guy who lost more then 3K$ on Poker, then I got involved in the Forex, some years ago. Tried with demo account with virtual money, reading and trading some pairs, then I double the investments for two times /starting from base amount every time to be sure what i'm doing/ and I thought BAG! I can do it too, I'm a trader. /bullshit, it was pure luck/.
 
When you gain some self confidence that you can do something but you really can't or don't know what you are doing it's kind of a" hold my beer" jokes.
I made some trades, lost some savings, then again went back to 0, then I made some good profit but and got more confidence, the problem is that you don't know when to stop, you become greedy, and greedier with your next good trade and you don't pay attention to the looses /big mistake/.

Everything goes exponentially same as your greed, and at the end you loose everything even more.

Aside of the money I lost many sleepless nights in watching the 3 screens, checking every time. Meta Trader had an awful default alarm sound i hated it but did't change it. Waking you up in 3 or 4 AM with this sound was horrible, I still hear it, sometimes. The good thing with the Forex is that you have a free weekends, but not with the Bitcoin.

I almost lost control over my job / I still have a small company/. Then came the health issues,too much stress and punting weight from bad sleep and sitting all the time, eating fast food.  No time for friends, you are dead tired on the weekends...

I lost some money but I manage to recover. Everything was just for an year but man, had a huge impact on me.

I just woke up one night from the alarm and said STOP. Closed all the open positions and shut off the PCs. The next day I got on my bicycle and went riding for hours / it was really hard in the beginning you cannot breath after so long period without motion/.

I learned to control it, I have a family now and I have to be responsible for my actions.

Now i'm playing dice from time to time with the money from the campaigns here

OMG people, are you using google translate to post here?!?!?
I know my English is not perfect but c'mon, I have no idea what the OP wants to ask and some of the comments  here are like a random wallet seed.
I know it's not easy but there's always a LOCAL BOARDS where you can ask first.

Speaking of negative trust, you have to remove/change your signature, coz begging for merit is not tolerated here and you gonna get tagged sooner or later.
So friendly advice, just take it away asap.
