@theymos: can you confirm my edits in your quote (in bold) make it correct?
Mini bumps

If you haven't posted in a topic bumped a topic by posting in it in the last 7 days, posting in it adds 1% of your base bump power to the topic's bump score. Deleted posts count against the 7-day limit, but not the topic's bump score.
Your post bumped this thread on October 3. So the post you made on September 30 shouldn't have bumped the thread. But there is no post by you in September 24-30.
Have you deleted any posts made in September 24-30?
Yes, on the 26th.
So your statement is 100% true. This is more reasonable and more fair.
If what Theymos had said was true, even if 1000 high-merit users are active in a thread and post every day, they would never mini bump the thread. That was not fair.

Yelp, you probably doesn't have any more bump "power".
He has never had bump power from the time the new bumping system was introduced. Because he hasn't earned any merit in the last 365 days.
His bump power will remain zero until he earns a merit.

I think @hosseinimr93 meant that btc would be 1.05 and lambo would be 9x or something.
Yes, It was a typo. Thank's for your attention. I just edited that.  BTC: 1.05x   Lambo: 9x.
I expect the winner to choose BTC.

However, I have a question. Since I am particularly feeling lazy today, is there anyone in the history of freebitco.in that has actually won a Lamborghini? And do these guys have a physically acquired Lamborghini in storage or display somewhere? In other words, how legit is the "giveaway'?
This is the first Lamborghini Lottery to be done. No Lamborghini lottery has ever taken place.

@suchmoon
I just sorted "Reputation" section by bump score.
LoyceV has made a post in this thread. The thread has been bumped to 12th place, however there is another post by LoyceV on Sep 30.

If you want to test the function, you can test that in non-targeted sections more easily. Because super bump is not available in them.
4665  Other / Meta / Re: Bumping changes on some boards on: October 04, 2019, 06:47:11 PM
it would seem that only the first post will bump it, since every subsequent post that is still in the 36-hour window will have up to 6 previous posts in the 7-day window... so no bump?
According to What Theymos has said, if you post in a thread every day, 36 hours after your first post, your contribution in thread's bump score becomes zero and will be zero forever.

Here is an example.
GeoCoin is now in page 5 of "Announcements (Altcoins)" board. So its bump score is zero however weifa has posted in that thread today. This user has earned 21 merits in the past 365 days. But his contribution in thread's bump score is zero. Because he has made another post on that thread three days ago.
4666  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Definition of Burstposting on: October 04, 2019, 03:08:03 PM
Generally, burst posting is not against the rules of the forum as long as you don't spam. But every manager has its own rules and criteria.
Yahoo62278 defines Burst-posting as follows.

Burstposting definition- A person that makes a posts then 1-5 minutes later makes another, and another, and another. I will not add someone here for burstposting if they have 1 post right after another every once in awhile. Sometimes a person reads the forum and makes a reply, then sees another topic they have a constructive reply for, but if quite a few of your posts are 1 right after the other, then you'll find yourself here.
4667  Other / Meta / Re: Temp Sig Bans please - For a new kind of Campaign on: October 04, 2019, 11:20:35 AM
Temp signature ban is just short-term solution, and they will come back with Cryptotalk or other campaigns when their signature temporary bans expired.
Generally I don't agree with signature ban of every one banned from Cryptotalk campaign. But I think temporary signature ban can be effective. When a user is temporary banned, at least he is warned about the quality of his posts and he can be permanently banned, if the behavior doesn't change.  

First offence: 7 days
Second offence: 14 days
Third offence: 30 days
Fourth: Permanent ban

Unfortunately, when such newbie accounts are banned, their owners lose nothing. They easily create new accounts in a few seconds and continue to do the same.
The funny thing is that they are not aware of the new bumping system and they think that they can keep their thread on top that easily.
4669  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win a Lamborghini Huracan LP 580-2!! on: October 04, 2019, 07:42:49 AM
@mindrust there’s no way Freebitco will consider this kind of bet, as they’re already spending so much on the promotions hence they won’t spend more to promote their site.
Why should they spend money for creating a bet?
Creating the bet which mindrust talk about not only does not cost them but also is profitable for them.
4670  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win a Lamborghini Huracan LP 580-2!! on: October 04, 2019, 07:15:32 AM
I have a bright idea.

TheQuin should create a bet:

"What will the lambo lottery winner choose? The lambo or the btc?"

I'd bet 10k sats on that he'll go with the btc.

If the bet you mentioned is created, I guess outcome odds would be like this:
BTC: 9.5 1.05
Lambo: 1.05 9.5
So, you will likely earn 500 Satoshis
I think the winner will prefer to receive the reward at btc to avoid the trouble of car shipping.
4671  Other / Meta / Sorting the threads by their bump score on: October 03, 2019, 10:22:47 PM
According to what Theymos said, bump score is calculated for all of the threads.

every thread forum-wide has a bump score, with the same mechanism of operation everywhere.

So we can sort the threads by their bump score in other boards too. However their bump score is only affected by mini-bumps, it's really useful.

Meta: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0;sort=bump;desc
Bitcoin discussion: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=1.0;sort=bump;desc
Altcoin discussion: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=67.0;sort=bump;desc

This is useful to find the threads that high-merit users are interested in them.
We can easily find the threads that contain useful posts by best users of the forum.
4672  Other / Meta / Re: Signature campaign stats: users, bans, posts, deleted posts on: October 03, 2019, 07:03:45 PM
would it be possible to generate a list of all the users in these campaigns? i would like to put them all on my ignore list.
Most of the users of forum including the best users are using at least one of these signatures. If you put all of them in your ignore list, then you will see only the posts made by newbies. So if you want to ignore all of the posts made by these users, I suggest you to ignore the forum and logout now.

Any way, you can use the spreadsheets.
4673  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win a Lamborghini Huracan LP 580-2!! on: October 03, 2019, 06:44:12 PM
Well, there are people who use this and gamble very tiny amounts and get the free drinks and get out, now that is not a huge loss on casinos end but there are people who do this for just free beers, so it is not a shock that there would be people who abuse the faucet here as well, it is just how it is, freebitcoin has to fight against them no matter how many times they come back.
Do you mean that someone who has only 1 account and claim faucets regularly and never gamble is abusing the system? I don't think this is abusing the system.
Abusers are those who have multiple accounts and claim faucets. These people must be banned.
Having multiple accounts and claiming faucet is abusing the system even if the user deposit and gamble. But as long as someone has only 1 account cannot be called abuser even if he never gamble and just claim faucet.
4674  Other / Meta / Re: How to get all posts through "recent"? on: October 03, 2019, 06:31:28 PM
Most of the missed posts are in Wall Observer thread
25 out of those 40,000 posts have been missed.
14 out of 25 posts are in hidden threads. So we can say that 11 out of 40,000 posts have been missed. 9 out of 11 missed posts are in Wall Observer thread. That's 82% of missed posts.
4675  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win a Lamborghini Huracan LP 580-2!! on: October 03, 2019, 07:45:45 AM
Now say there is some high net worth individual who keeps taking advantage of these free hotel rooms and the casino notices that this individual on every stay never actually gambles. What will they do? Eventually they will stop giving him the free perks. They are in the business of making money and not keeping people happy for free.

This is similar to what is happening with bitcoin faucets pretty much.
Yes, Online casinos are created for benefit of their owners. They are not created to give people free money. But I don't think freebitco bans someone who registered 1 account in freebitco and claim faucet every hour and didn't have any benefit for freebitco. As long as people don't abuse the faucets they are safe.
Now freebitco is giving 24 Satoshi for every claim. As the minimum withdrawal amount is 0.0003 BTC, so it is needed to claim the faucet at least 1250 times. Even if the person never sleeps and  claim the faucet regularly every hour, it takes 52 days to become able to withdraw your free Satoshis (Actually it takes longer time). I am sure there are many few people to do this and freebitco give them these free Satoshis as long as they don't try to cheat freebitco with creating multiple accounts.

http://loyce.club/Merit/merit.html which has been created by LoyceV contains all merit transactions, merit senders and merit receivers. But the problem is that the data is not up to date. I think they are updated weekly.
4677  Other / Meta / Re: Temp Sig Bans please - For a new kind of Campaign on: October 02, 2019, 09:37:49 PM
Fifteen posts a day spread out over 24 hours is burst posting? I used to post much more a few years ago without being in a signature campaign and that was fine?

Is there any reason why some are warned and others are straight up banned?
You had participated in a campaign which has hired yahoo62278 as quality checker. He checks the quality of posts and has the right to decide based on his own criteria. This is same as any other campaign in the forum which the manager has the right to remove any participant. In cryptotalk campaign, Yahoo62278 is not the manager, but he has the right to remove everyone as Yobit has asked him.
 
Here is Burst-posting definition by Yahoo62278

Burstposting definition- A person that makes a posts then 1-5 minutes later makes another, and another, and another. I will not add someone here for burstposting if they have 1 post right after another every once in awhile.

Check the post history of TillKoeln. I reported 10+ posts from him. All of them were marked as good. He is advertising his link in any thread. Is he allowed to do this?
In order to ban him from posting (temporary ban to warn him), in all of my reports I asked moderators to check other posts of the this user too. But only the posts that I had reported were deleted.
Should I report all of them one by one?

We need to really consider what is considered a "house edge" at freebitcoin.
In any other place when you gamble there is only winning and losing, so on average if you lose 1% then that is fine because that is the house edge and you are done with the casino when you stop betting. Now we all know freebitcoin has a HUGE looking house edge and people think that you will lose that much and all but people are forgetting one eternal truth that you do not only gamble here. That is not what you do when you just bet, when you place a bet, you can win or lose you will still get ; lottery tickets + lambo tickets + reward points + if you came here from an affiliate someone making profits thanks to you.
Freebitco have provided many opportunities for their users and that's why Freebitco is very popular among the cryptocurrency community.
When you place a bet in dice game, the chance of freebitco is 5% bigger than the chance of player to win the wager. But it doesn't mean that freebitco is making 5% profit from the money deposited to their website. Their profit is lower. As you mentioned they give reward points which can be easily exchanged to bitcoin. Soon they will give a prize worth 200,000 dollars. They are giving faucets and daily interest too.

i haven't tested this yet since i am trying to avoid gambling for a while but i remember when i lost a 2x game where i had to roll above 5250 for example it wasn't a loss for rolling 5249 but it was a loss because i rolled something like 1000 which is way below the mark. so it wouldn't have mattered if house edge was something else.
According to what you say, it doesn't matter even if the house edge is 80%,
No, when you play for long term, the house edge  does matter.

Very interesting stats. Well, Yobit/Cryptotalk campaign stats isn't as bad as I expected. There was even worse campaigns. But notice mainly Yobit spammers, it's because this campaign have highest number of participants and it means highest number of spammers. It would be interesting to see some merits stats included to this table for comparison.
But I think Cryptotalk stats is awful.
Suchmoon has listed 100 campaigns and there are only 11 campaigns with a higher percentage of deleted posts than Cryptotalk.
