Opet malo kasnim sa mjesecnom analizom, ali eto bolje ikad nego nikad

Kao i uvijek do sada, podaci za chartove su preuzeti sa @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboarda

Broj postova  u periodu 01.4.-30.04.

Pad aktivnosti naseg boarda se nastavlja i ovaj mjesec, i to sa 745 napisanih postova u 3/2021 dosli smo na 687 u 4/2021, sto je pad od otprilike 7%. U biti pad i nije velik, ali je konstantan pa se kroz par mjeseci nakupi solidna cifra. Ali dobro, slicna situacija je i na hrpi drugih boardova te na forumu opcenito, tako da nismo mi tu neka iznimka.

Tko zna, nakon sto prodje ovaj bull run i kad ekipa ne bude imala nista pametnije za raditi, mozda se aktivnost opet poveca.




Evo i podsjetnika kako je to izgledalo od 2017 pa do danas. Ako ne brojimo pad u 12/2020 koji u biti nije odraz stvarne situacije te je uzrokovan otvaranjem novih child boardova te micanjem topica, ovo nam je bio najgori mjesec jos od 12/2019 godine kad smo bili usred bear marketa.




Ovako to izgleda kad se usporedimo sa ostalim boardovima, znaci i dalje cisto ok iako bi bilo finije vidjeti nas koji mjesto desnije. Turci i dalje pisu kao nenormalni te su i ovaj mjesec vodeci, a clanovi jednog od najaktivnijih boardova mi prigovaraju sto sirim paniku medju njihovima redovima, dok im clanovi nisu sposobni razumijeti napisano te uzimaju ove chartove kao sveto pismo.

Analiza merita za period 1.4 -30.4.

Unatoc padu broja postova, zadrzali smo slicnu kolicinu podijeljenih merita, tj cak smo imali i solidan rast, sa 96 merita u 3/2021 na 105 u 4.2021. Zvuci malo, ali je ipak rast od ~10%, tako da je to ipak poziitvna vijest. S obzirom na broj postova te opcu manju aktivnost onih koji bi mogli napredovati, taj broj merita uopce i nije toliko los.




A evo i liste onih koji su dijelili i dobivali merit. Jedan od nasih novijih clanova strsi na listi, nadam se da ce ih biti jos u buducnosti. Iako nemamo na raspologanju merita kao neki drugi slicno aktivni lokalni boardovi, mislim da svatko tko se malo potrudi moze napredovati, sto se vidi iz prilozenog.




Uspredba nas i ostalih lokalnih boardova, u kojoj smo tu negdje kao i kad se usporedjujemo po broju postova. Ima i puno boljih od nas, ali bome i ima i dosta gorih, pa cak i medju aktivnijim boardovima. Situacija se nece drasticnije promjeniti dok god ne dobijemo jos jednog merita sourca.

Iskreno me cudi sto theymos ne pregleda situaciju bar jednom godisnje te prilagodi broj merita. Mislim, mozda on to i radi, ali ocigledan je nesrazmjer izmedju pojedinih boardova, pa kad dodas na to da ima vec i solidan broj jakih merit sourceva koji vise uopce nisu aktivni, uopce ne cudi pad merita na forumu opcenito.




Chart koji je tradicionalno najneugodniji za nast, post/merit odnos, na kojem stojimo standardno slabo, ali eto moze se tjesiti da ima i aktivnijih lolalnih boadova koji su gori od nas

Lista aktivnih clanova u periodu 1.4-30.4

Kao i uvijek do sada, koristio sam ninjastic.space od @TryNinja

Za ovaj mjesec sam mislio navesti sve nase aktivne clanove, bez obzira koliko postova napisali, ali sam se neugodno iznendaio kad se broj zaustavio na samo 35. Naravno, ne treba uopce pogadjati tko je prvi na listi

Ma jok, nema sanse nitko sa ovog boarda ako je to glavni kriterij a nekako mislim da bi to mogao biti netko aktivan u ruskom ili turskom boardu. Da sam bookmaker ovako bi nekako stavio kvote:
Rus 1.3
Turcin 2
Ostali 10

Trofo kao gambling ekspert bi vjerojatno rekao da je to losa oklada, da nevalja risk to reward ratio

Iako povisice nisu bile mozda onolike koliko smo ocekivali, ipak je situacija bolja nego prije godinu-godinu i pol. Ako nista, bar se lako nadje mjesto u kampanji koja normalno placa.

Iskreno, nekako mislim da smo se svi ovdje na forumu razmazili sa isplatama, dok je realno i 200 USD mjesecno sasvim pristojna lova za malo piskaranja na forumu, a da ne spominjemo one jace kampanje. Da mi je netko prije par  godina rekao da cu za neko piskaranje na forumu dobivati 2500-3000 kuna mjesecno, rekao bih mu da nije normalan. Pa jebote, osim na ovom aktivan sam na jos par foruma, svake godine tamo napisem tisuce postova totalno besplatno, a ovdje me jos placaju za to. Tako da, naravno da bi isplate mogle biti bolje, ali mislim da ponekad treba malo staviti stvari u perspektivu te mislim da cemo za par godina plakati za ovim ciframa koje sada dobivamo.

Cheers @ El duderino_!

From the conversations with @marlboroza on our local board some time ago (iirc beginning of the year), I got the impression that he simply doesn't want to force his activity on the forum if he doesn't have anything to add or is too bored at the moment, and that's been going on for months now.

That is a perfectly normal behavior on any other forum, which is somewhat different here as members are paid to post, so we often force ourselves to write even though we don't have anything new to add that hasn't been said few times already in the same topic.

It's not your job to find escrow, but to only join bounty campaign whose funds are escrowed, meaning that tokens/coins/whatever are held by trusted 3rd party (so neither altcoin project or bounty manager) and that way payment is secured. But having bounty funds escrowed is not foolproof either as there were cases where altcoin projects simply issued new ones, making escrowed altcoins worthless.

Thing is, campaigns like that are extremely rare, and that would probably mean you would join few at best in a whole year, so an average bounty hunter ends up joining almost anything, hoping that it won't get screwed but more often than not it ends up like in your case.

From time to time, scammers send some ETH/BTC to their own wallets, just so addresses appear more legit at the beginning if anyone decides to check, but I doubt that's the case here. When you follow ETH leaving some of the addresses you shared, it's intereting to notice how some are very careful and are using Tornado Cash to hide the trail, while others are sending ETH to that scammy HitBTC exchange,

By the way, from where exactly you got that first address with that currently has more than 70 ETH? I just checked those fake Solstarter websites that you shared and didn't see that address on any of them. Are you sure that address is connected to them?


Yep, there is a huge amount of interest in IDOs at the moment as altcoin projects completely changed their M.O compared to ICO boom in 2017. Back then they were basically allowing everyone to join ICO, getting tens of millions of dollars that way casing the price to dump almost immediately. They got smarter now; they set very limited amount of tokens up for public sale (usually few hundreds of thousands of dollars) and then profiting once token gets listed since price goes x100+.

C'mon people, don't you see that he is trolling? He doesn't deserve a serious answer for those nonsense questions.

Time to add yet another name to my evergrowing list of ignored users...

Same old same old, there is always some investigation going on, whether its Bitfinex/Tether, now Binance etc.

I think that this ongoing Binance investigation will lead to a dead end, as many other similar before and nothing significant will happen. But even if it does, I don't thik that it would affect Bitcoin much and even if it did, it would be just temporary. On the other hand, shitcoins like that SHIBA you mentioned (and many others) that are listed there would definitely tale some serious beating.

Whether we like it or not, current forum stance is that as long as you share source link you can copy/paste as much as you want, even word for word and you won't  fall under plagiarism rule.

With that being said, I do think that this is a bad practice and that senior forum members should know better and format copied text properly so that the difference between own words and copied material is noticed immediately. The way it is formatted in the example you shared is indeed misleading and sets bad example for others, especially new members who might think that this is a proper way to deal with copied content.

Same thing here, well at least up until like 5-10 minutes ago. Everything went back to normal now, at least for me.

I am not surprised to see fake Solstarter sale websites as there is a lot of hype going on around Solana, and people saw what happened with Polkastarter price (x200+ ROI) so people are expecting the same. Naturally, scammers saw that as an  opportunity for easy money, as always.


Looking at those addresses that @OP shared, more than 100 ETH was sent that way so far, and new ETH keeps coming as we speak. Absolute champion is the first address mentioned ( 0x66f2B5fd4d0779Cb2e72035b61ab49A202Eee9A7) with more than 70 ETH received so far, in only two days! This is serious amount of money scammed via such a rudimentary scamming technique. Scammers don't even have to work hard, all they need is people's greed and naivety  and that's about it.

Bas sam danas naletio na dobar meme u svezi glede Doge devova





Elon da laze? Ma ne. Litijske baterije za njegove aute rastu na drvecu, njegovi auti su u stanju prepoznati struju dobiveni iz neobnovljivih izvora energije i odbiti se puniti u tom slucaju, rakete idu na biodizel a on jadan do neki dan nije znao kako nastaje novi BTC.

Ali to je kripto, jedino pravilo je da nema pravila, tako da nek Elon prica sta hoce.

Tesla destroys Bitcoin? Lol what a clickbait title! It's just Elon Musk talking shit as always and market overreacting, as always. So I would say, just another crypto day. Or to sum it up with the meme

Elon is indeed manipulating the price of Doge, but I think that he is doing that out of boredom and for some shits and giggles, and not because he wants to help some Dogecoin whales.

You have to ask yourself why would richest man on earth help some Dogecoin whales, when he can make some meme shitcoin himself and probably make hundreds of millions that way, if he wants.

He is simply having a field day with Doge and is probably amused how his single tweet can affect price so much.

When it comes to apps on mobile phone, I used  Blockfolio and Delta, but few years ago I removed them from my phone completely. My problem was that I was checking prices xyz timer per day (like many others I think) but I wasn't actively trading or anything like that, just passively watching. Since it's kinda counterproductive to look at prices if you won't really do anything about it (it especially wasn't fun during bear market) I just removed them and never looked back. It was hard at the beginning, but now I am at the point that I don't really care about daily price movement.

Regarding the websites, I prefer Coingecko over CMC when checking something out, even though I don't use that either on the regular basis.

99.99 % (I'm being optimistic here) of the tokens are made solely for the purpose of making its creators rich, without any real need or utility whatsoever. There are some odd cases where creators want to get rich (nothing wrong with that afterall) but token and the whole idea actually has some sense and use case.

Regarding your question about successful token (at least in the short term) recipe is pretty simple, just focus on whatever is currently popular (DeFi, NFT, meme coins) and shill it like there's no tomorrow.

Even though I already explained why I prefer Merit Dashboard when making these charts, here it is again. And yeah, that's why I sometimes mention that numbers might be affected by the deleted posts, like I did in the last overview when I said exactly that for Russian board.

---

I will start using ninjastic.space  (which is an awesome tool ) for the post chart when/if deleted posts get excluded from the count. As simple as that.

As I said before, topics moved/deleted don't have to be new ones to affect post count difference, inactive old topic from few years ago that got moved will affect numbers. My assumption that such a big difference is probably caused by mods work is based upon previous experience in similar situations.

Year ago, while working on one of these overviews, I noticed that Arabic board ended up month in negative of ~200 posts. Since i was relatively new to Merit Dashboard and didn't really know how it works but kinda wanted to figure out what happened there, I contacted one of their active members asking can he maybe explain the situation. He contacted their mod who eventually contacted me, explaining that he indeed did some cleaning and moved/deleted some topics, causing this anomaly. Similar thing happened to Croatian board 6 months ago when we got few new child boards so bunch of topics were moved around and  merit dashboard showed us having 1/3 of the posts that were actually written during that period.

If you really want get to the bottom of this, I suggest that you ask your mods about it, and if they really confirm that they haven't moved anything around, that would leave us with some glitch affecting Russian local board numbers.

Topic deleted/removed doesn't have to be new one in order to affect monthly post count in Merit Dashboard. Let' say that you wrote 300 new posts in "Oбcyждeниe Bitcoin" during April 2021, but in the same time some old topic got removed/deleted which had 3300 posts, meaning that total difference will be -3000, and will affect numbers significantly. These things happen with pretty much every board occasionally, and with Russian board for the last couple of months.


Yep, from November 2020 and up until now Russian board numbers went down, but I don't think that its due broken algorithm, but deleted topics/posts. Best is probably to ask your local mods what is going on, did they delete or move some stuff around.


Yeah I am aware of the fact that people don't look in depth what is going on but rather just look at the chart and immediately draw conclusions. I try to mention in every monthly overview that they should check a bit more thorough to get the clear picture of the real situation, as this is more intended to be a brief overview, and not too detailed one, as I want to keep it simple in order to not bore people too much.

I don't know if anyone is doing that in Russian local board, but it wouldn't be a bad idea if someone makes detailed monthly overview of your board, like I am doing for mine, and some others for theirs. Great example of detailed overview is  this one made by @fillippone for Italian local board. It might help clear the situation and calm people down.

If you read my post carefully, you would notice that source of my data is @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboard. Its literally the 2nd sentence of the post, right there at the top.


I am perfectly aware of the differences between numbers shown in Merit Dashboard and ninjastic.space and I talked about it before in this topic. Those two tools have 2 different ways to calculate post count; Merit Dashboard takes into account difference in post numbers, while ninjastic.space counts all posts written, and in total amount includes even posts that are not there anymore and were deleted, so that tool can also be misleading.




Now, as I mentioned that in my post (and many times before in this topic), post number shown in Merit Dashboard is heavily affected when there is some big clean up by local mods, like it was case in Russian board for the last couple of months. As seen in Merit Dashboard, in the board called "Oбcyждeниe Bitcoin" there was negative difference of 3094 posts, meaning one of your mods probably deleted whole topics, that lead to this huge difference, and skewed numbers. And I even mentioned that in the post you quoted, as seen below




So, in the end neither Merit Dashboard and ninjastic.space are 100% correct, and some weird results will happen, but I decided to stick with the former when making those charts as I prefer occasional odd results due high amount of deleted posts over inflated numbers. To get clearer picture of board activity, best is to use both of them.
