As I suspected, and it is quite simple. But if its consistent then I think it will be different.
Sometimes we will find it difficult to distinguish between natural posts and posts made just to get merit. But for me even though it is a post made to get merit but if the post is constructive, and quality then I think we should consider giving merit because making a constructive and quality post requires a little effort and time.

I think appreciating the effort and time to make quality posts wont be a problem. As long as him dont beg for merit. But this is just my perception, and you and others might be different and quality and constructive posts although the purpose of getting merit will also help the forum to reduce spam. Give a little chance and see the difference.

I am really not sure if someone who wins the jackpot can maintain their consistency to get a win in gambling, that is impossible for me. The jackpot they get is one of the luck in gambling. But if they decide to stop getting involved in the gambling arena, then it will be possible for them to start a business and get its profits.

Jackpot is an illusion and can be a hope for a small number of gamblers to try to get it. However, if this is their focus then I think there will be a lot of money they have to bet so that the gambler is likely to incur huge losses. We dont know when we will get huge wealth in gambling, it is like a dream come true in gambling.
4703  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Share] Biggest wins in online Casinos on: April 20, 2020, 06:04:40 PM
Basically this is a good bag because I honestly dont think that I have to know who is in the first place for people who are lucky to win a huge amount of jackpots on online gambling sites and this thread has helped me find out even though I still doubt the validity of who actually came first.

Because we are crypto users, I think this users suggestion can also be considered because gambling activities of crypto users tend to use crypto-based gambling sites rather than fiat, I guess.

I appreciate the research done by OP but maybe it's better to discuss instead the biggest wins in online "crypto" casinos compare to fiat casinos winners for a sole reason that we are in a crypto-gambling forum.



For me and most online gamblers still consider winning in large numbers (jackpot) is something that is still an illusion. Although it is still possible to get it but the percentage is very small. Everyone might really want to win the jackpot when they gamble, but I dont think that the jackpot can be the main goal of gambling because this is tantamount to plunging a gambler into a heavy addict.

I think those who have won the jackpot might never have thought that the last bet would make them a millionaire. Jackpot is for those who are truly lucky people.

Actually the main motive of merit system is reducing spams in this forum.
Agree, the motive has been known since theymos implemented the merit system at the forum on January 24, 2018.

I'm hoping that this system will increase post quality by:
 - Forcing people to post high-quality stuff in order to rank up. If you just post garbage, you will never get even 1 merit point, and you will therefore never be able to put links in your signature, etc.

Hope of theymos that I quoted above in my opinion can be interpreted like this.
  • For members who do not need merit to move rank up, they are also required to improve the quality of their posts better than before. Although merit will not affect their rankings, but if they make quality posts then they will also get merit. The amount of merit that users naturally receive can be used as a reason to refer to them as users who have contributed well to the forum. I think.
  • Beginners and users who still have the potential to move rank up are emphasized to make quality posts so that the merit that will be obtained can help them to move rank up.

As far as I know, the merit system has succeeded in reducing the number of spam posts and preventing spammers from ranking. If beginners and users who still have the potential to rise rankings cant make quality posts, higher rankings will not be possible for them.



OP, as one of the users who have received 300+ merit, I want to know if we have a rating standard to find out posts made solely because they want to get merit and rating standard to find out posts made a natural ?

Looks like I have to choose chrome as the browser that I use to login the bitcointalk.org site. I have used it for 90% and 10% with other browser of the time logged in to the site to date. But lately I also want to consider using another browser to login the site for security reasons especially privacy. TOR is the most likely.
4706  Other / Meta / Re: [POLL] Should I donate the Known Alts Donation funds to Bruno's plea? on: April 20, 2020, 05:37:05 AM
There are two perspectives so far that you must consider if you want to donate your BTC to Bruno.
  • If you want to appreciate the contribution of Bruno who has made him a highly respected member, then you must donate it without having to consider whether the funds collected can be used by his family or not. Even though you will not donate all the bitcoin you mentioned, but in reality you have appreciated him and his last wishes.
  • If you want your donations to be used by his family then make sure that the funds collected in several wallets can be withdrawn and distributed to the family for the benefit of Bruno and this way is to prevent an increase in the amount of funds collected in vain
Apart from all that, you can appreciate Bruno contribution in any way as long as its good for you, the forum and many other users.

Congratulations to the two selected users, I arrived a little late for the registration period that was opened and did not have the opportunity to send my application. I really missed the train on this occasion. Wait for other opportunities when there are empty slots.  Cheesy

it's never easy just picking one or two members among so many good applicants but the decision has now been made
You are right, choosing two decent users to fill the empty slots of many good applicants is a difficult job. But I think you have chosen the right user.

I have seen it in a spreadsheet some time ago or right on the 26th rounde., it is just that you didnt tell them in the thread. I continued to monitor the thread and spreadsheets of this campaign because I really wanted to be one of the participants.

Although for some users, 25 posts per week is not a big amount to achieve, but I think you have made a good decision for all participants of this campaign. All participants in this campaign spreadsheet are those who can post quality things. Many posts made very useful and subtract 5 posts from the previous number I think it's fair for them as campaign participants. You are a great manager and very professional.
4709  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Crypto sentiment of a kid: How can I improve learning about crypto on: April 18, 2020, 03:29:43 PM
You look like someone who is very ambitious who is thirsty to feel the complexity of technology and various things related to bitcoin and blokchain. But you must know that we were not born smart people from the start. When we have a strong will and desire to know and learn something, we must go through it step by step so that we achieve it.

I think you have a productive age to provide food for your brain with various types of knowledge even though it is very complicated. The main thing that occurred to me is that you must have a high focus and always be consistent with something you are learning. You will be said to be someone in a hurry if you want to do everything at once without going through stages. Focus, be consistent and learn everything little by little then you will get what you want. It is the same for us when sitting in school, we have to learn it gradually.
4710  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Up or Down, People Hodl on: April 18, 2020, 03:07:12 PM
Doesn't it actually mean the opposite? If there are more deposits than withdrawals, it means more people are putting their BTC on an exchange than those who are withdrawing into their personal wallets. I see it this way, maybe my perspective is wrong.
No, you are right. For a trader who is active on the exchange, I think they would prefer not to keep their BTC in a personal wallet assuming they can always control the risk that price movements might pose.

while people depositing are doing so for long term.
I am not sure an investor will keep their assets in exchange for a long time in hopes of earning interest. This action is very unsafe and also not recommended.
4711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have control or not? on: April 18, 2020, 02:23:25 PM
I am among those who are lucky, because I can control my desire to play gambling. Which means I'm not a gambling addict.
I am not sure you are not a gambling addict even though you can control it. Controlling the desire to gamble is an attempt to avoid various problems that are often felt by gamblers and in my opinion this effort is not to avoid addiction because someone who can return to playing gambling are those who are said to be addicted.

Actually what I want to know is, which one is more likely that most people lose control when at the gambling table at a time that makes them last longer to not leave?
- often wins
- often loses
Someone will have the opportunity to stay longer at the gambling table if they often win bets. The more money collected through winning, the longer the chance to play. Nothing can last longer at the gambling table if they often experience defeat.

The desire of someone to bet longer at the gambling table in my opinion will vary. Greater desire to continue playing may be felt by those who often experience defeat assuming that they want to return the capital that has been used up. But for those who win more often then I think they will think of ending the game faster and enjoying the results. Playing endlessly in hopes of getting dozens of wins I think will only make the results of the previous win potentially run out, so ending the game faster is one of the right things.

The mastermind of all the problems presented by the OP is probably his disappointment with the reality he experienced after being a crypto trader for the past 4 years.

I've been invested in crypto for about four years, with an amount I'm comfortable with, occasionaly buying more, mostly top ten/twenty coins
by marketcap. And I'm not desperate. Certain trends might make me think, doubt, reconsider things sometimes, yes. And If I'd lose what I've invested up till now,
ofc it would hurt, but I would be able to accept that and move on. Not that I think it will come to that. I'm just holding for the long term.

And it seems like these two posts of user have answered all OPs doubts about crypto and made it learn more.
1. Response from mr.relax
2. Response from abel1337

@mr. relax, abel1337,

Thank you both for your insightful answers. I have much to learn.



Are there lessons we can take as users who trust crypto ?
4713  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: April 17, 2020, 04:46:38 PM
They only need a few things to win the trophy.
At least they have to win a few more matches to get the EPL trophy this season. I also think that Liverpool are the happiest club if this season can continue, and the other is the club that will replace the Manchester City in the Champions League. Although there is no clear certainty about the schedule, but for me this effort has provided a bit of excitement for the club, fans, and gamblers. Hopefully the agreement can be realized.

Although Tottenham have a coach who has a lot of experience in big clubs, but I think it will be more difficult for Spurs because they are mentally less powerful than other big teams.
If Spurs make big changes to players maybe that can happen but it takes time too because this season they may not be champions even in the next few years.
Coaches and players are those who can bring change to the club where they work. But building a winning mentality is a difficult endeavor for any coach. Pep Guardiola is a great coach, but he is very difficult to build the mentality of his players to win the Champions League.
4714  Other / Meta / Re: [POLL]Dear Forum Administration, Merit Question on: April 17, 2020, 03:56:05 PM
Each time I am not logged in and I receive merits, I always have this thoughts in my head:

"where, where, who sent me merit, where, who, who...oh, here, why, why now, why"

Why do we have to be logged in to find out who sent us merits? I mean, we can go to https://bpip.org and find merited post, but can this be somehow implemented in forum, for "guests" I mean...?
Some things that are restricted to guests may be one of them is knowing the merit transaction history that we have received or sent to other users. For me, as long as we can still find out through the https://bpip.org site or monitor it through the telegram bot, I think there is no problem.

I also have the same thought. It really gives a little excitement which causes curiosity to know who is that person appreciated your post.
Although I also have such curiosity, but I have never used a telegram bot to monitor every merit provided on a post that I made. I will find out when starting activities in the forum. Checking profile and posting history are the main things I do when I start an activity in a forum. If there is an increase in the number of merit, I also take the time to check before responding to user responses on my previous post.

Meanwhile, if the advice from the OP is something that can be considered important for most users, then I also hope the admin can consider it. I like bright ideas to make the forum more friendly with anyone even though it is a guest.
4715  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: April 17, 2020, 03:04:52 PM
As a Spurs fan, of course I always hope that Arsenal do not do well,,, or at least, never finish above us;)
LOL, But its good for fans competition. Cheesy

But I agree here people like Arteta have a good sense of coaching and as former players they also understand the guys on the field who kick the ball. I think Arsenal can go up if they fix their very old issues of mentality (same as Spurs, mentality issues).
Based on the EPL champion data from 1992 to 2019, I think Arsenal have a better winning mentality compared to Tottenham. Arsenal have won 3 EPL trophies so far and none have been won by Tottenham.

1992-1993 Manchester United
1993-1994 Manchester United
1994-1995 Blackburn Rovers
1995-1996 Manchester United
1996-1997 Manchester United
1997-1998 Arsenal
1998-1999 Manchester United
1999-2000 Manchester United
2000-2001 Manchester United
2001-2002 Arsenal
2002-2003 Manchester United
2003-2004 Arsenal
2004-2005 Chelsea
2005-2006 Chelsea
2006-2007 Manchester United
2007-2008 Manchester United
2008-2009 Manchester United
2009-2010 Chelsea
2010-2011 Manchester United
2011-2012 Manchester City
2012-2013 Manchester United
2013-2014 Manchester City
2014-2015 Chelsea
2015-2016 Leicester City
2016-2017 Chelsea
2017-2018 Manchester City
2018-2019 Manchester City

Even so, I think the two of them will still be considered big clubs in the EPL even though they rarely end the season as champions. Tottenham coached by Mauricio Pochettino can be seen as a dangerous club but I think Mourinho also has a lot of experience to make him even more dangerous. Mental issues, I think it must be the second priority of the club if they want to win the trophy at the end of the season. But not this season. Cheesy

Anyone who can post high quality, I think they have the right to get merit as a form of appreciation. Even though higher ranking members do not need merit as a condition for rising rank, their experience and knowledge are things that should get attention for merit.

If you are interested in distributing your sMerit to members with lower rankings on quality posts, I think that is no problem. But for me, I can distribute it to anyone on quality posts even though they are higher members. Post quality is the basic standard for distributing sMerit, so we dont need to limit it to rankings because only members who post quality goods have the right to get it.

True, internet connection stability will be a problem for games involving bots. I like manual dice, it gives a great sensation and I can increase the bet if I am sure of my choice at any time. But sometimes people dont want to bother playing and they let bot play bet while hoping to get a profit. Just like you, I prefer the manual dice game because I can see the results for each bet.

OP has already gotten many answers, it seems I dont need to recommend many other sites and you just need to consider all the suggestions that you have received. For a fun game, you should consider a manual dice.

4718  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Finally Broken Out From Daily Resistance Level on: April 14, 2020, 03:04:40 AM
~~~
Today bitcoin is trading at ± $6850, market conditions are unstable and halving are getting closer so traders and investors must be careful because there may be unexpected market turmoil. We can see that the price of bitcoin is trying to reach $7,000, but because of the high sales volume makes it even more difficult to achieve.

However, I do not think prices cant reach $7000 in the near future and I believe price movements still have the potential to breakout. Securing capital may be the right thing to do, but consider making a profit from daily trading. 5% of targeted profit may not be a big problem, but daily trading if not done properly will negatively impact the capital we have.
4719  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the difference between Online and Physical casinos? on: April 14, 2020, 02:34:01 AM
~~~
The fundamental difference between online casinos versus physical casinos is the atmosphere of the game. Physical casino allow players to know more about their opponents while playing and the atmosphere of a physical casino will also be a special attraction for players where there are many people who might watch us play. There is a different sensation between online and physical.

But the problem is that physical casino keep players away from home and spend a lot of time there. There is another pressure faced by physical casino players and maybe it comes from his family. Addicted to playing at a physical casino really allows the players to get bigger problems when compared to online casinos. If you win a lot and want to go home, then you have to be very careful because there might be people who want to take your win by force and we have the potential to experience physical violence.

But in online casinos, cases like this will not happen because we play anonymously and not many people know us and how much we have won because we can play anywhere even in the bedroom. This is what makes online casinos more practical and safer for players.
4720  Other / Meta / Re: why hoarding Smerits? on: April 13, 2020, 05:00:40 PM
I have realized that with the advent of new merit system, most of the established members are hoarding Smerits.
For me, hoarding sMerit maybe is not something that can be blamed on forums, but this kind of behavior will only be considered as a form of lack of hoarding contributions for forums and users. The bitcointalk.org forum has become a library for the bitcoin community around the world to learn it and now we have 117,144 active profiles based bpip.org. If this forum has been considered as our place to gain knowledge such as a library, then we must have a good contribution to the forum and users in a good and recommended way.

Merit system is an effort that requires each user to post quality things. Apart from aiming to help the forum reduce junk posts, the merit system will also function as a requirement for user rankup after the number of posts and activities. Someone with a lower rank is forced to post quality things if they want to move up to a higher rank and this does not mean that users who have been ranked higher can post junk because there are no rules that say users can post junk on forums and if found it will be deleted.

And one form of contribution to forums and users is distributing sMerit on other users posts that are considered quality and useful. Even though the merit system is not moderated, it must run as expected and we have statistics to control it. Good if you receive merit, you also have to distribute them to other users quality posts. Dont be stingy and dont be afraid, because only users who are afraid and stingy can be categorized as sMerit hoarders.

I did not expect the list of users on this thread to be considered a member of sMerit hoarding. [CLUBS] Top Merited-Users Classified into 4 Clubs

I have also came across various posts on other forums in which they are selling merits.
If indeed you find it, make one thread on the reputation board that is equipped with solid evidence. If they are proven to be misusing merit, they will also get prizes such as negative trust.

One solution from my side is we can modify the merit system by making Smerits in the multiple of 5, So that the minimum merits one can give and receive is 5 from single user. This will lead to the change in minimum numbers of merit requires for jr member and members but I am sure that will speed up the much needed change.
Not a good solution in my opinion and theymos will not consider it. Try to be a user who can post quality things, and you will have the opportunity to get more than what you expect and without having to change the minimum send sMerit to 5.
