Because in order to post in more popular subreddits, your account has to have certain amount of post karma, and in some cases they even ask you that your account is aged etc. So if you want to advertise your business/scam in some of them, of course it will look much better if you are using seasoned account that has been around for quite some time.

In my opinion, those advertising crap on reddit and even buying an account to do so are wasting their time and money, because from my experience there, reddit is very strict when it comes to that and delete the content regularly.

That's exactly an excuse that these people use, "it was an honest mistake sir, our whitepaper writer copy/pasted by mistake, somwhow huge chunks of someone els'es material ended up in our whitepaper" , or even better one "company we hired to write our whitepaper tricked us, it's their fault and not ours". So no, in cases like this it ain't mistake for sure.

People do plagiarize due few different reasons though; some do it simply because they are ignorant, and for some reason they think that it's perfectly fine to copy parts of texts without proper referencing even if its just some technical part of whitepaper. Majority fall into those that are perfectly aware of what they are doing, but what they are not aware of is the bitcointalk's stance on plagiarism  so they end up like this, tagged and flagged.

In some extremely rare cases I could believe that someone made an honest mistake, for example if everything in whitepaper is properly referenced, but for some reason reference or two was forgotten to be included. I have yet to come across such case though, usually it's just a good old fashioned intentional plagiarism.


To be honest, majority of bounty hunters couldn't care less whether this is a scam or not. If CryptoSwap.Finance started bounty campaign today, bunch of them would join without thinking twice, even if they saw thread started being tagged for scam.

Well, those deleted posts ain't there anymore at the time i am making these overview so it would be  wrong to include them into statistic, as simple as that. Thing is, some boards are affected with this more than the others. For example, Croatian local board doesn't have much spam/nuked users so our numbers are usually similar in both of those tools, unless there is something going on, like threads being moved around, which can cause the issue for some reason.

Yep. So pretty much pointless wasting the time about that subject as they do what they do. Sometimes they will vote based on whatever agenda they are pushing on at the moment, sometimes because studio spent shit load of money on lobbying and sometimes truly the best performance (or at least good enough that people won't complain too much) will win the Oscar.


As a matter of fact, Heath Ledger was nominated in "Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role" category back in 2006 for his role in Brokeback Mountain (if it was up to me I would have give him Oscar, but competition that years was tough, and it would be unfair to say that Philip Seymour Hoffman winning that Oscar was undeserving). Regarding his Oscar for "Best Supporting Actor", it wouldn't make much sense to nominate him for the Leading Role as he simply wasn't a lead role in The Dark Knight.

And yeah, Chadwick Boseman will probably win an Oscar, but in my mind I have no doubt who actually deserved it, and that is Anthony Hopkins.

You keep creating threads like this, in which you compare bitcoin to slot machines, and claiming that's probably the same people invented both and other nonsense, and then you come to Meta and wondering "how you can't get along here". Do you even think before creating threads like this, or you write whatever pops in your head, no matter how nonsensical it sounds?

Are you sure that they are pretending to be Roobet casino? I am asking because their website looks completely different from theirs, and it doesn't make much sense to pretend to be something else if you don't copy the look too.

Weird,  when I clicked on that link, I didn't get any registration link, nor could I find one one their website.

I had the same dilemma few months ago when I started using ninjastic space and I also noticed the difference in numbers compared to merit dashboard. Thing with ninjastic.space (that I didn't know but Ddmr Ddmr explained it to me) is that is also counting all those posts that were for some reason deleted from the board, and that's why number is usually inflated compared to numbers found in merit dashboard. For example, if you had some spammer who wrote 20 posts in Indonesian board during March, and his account got nuked and all posts deleted, his posts will still be counted even though they are not there anymore.

With that being said, numbers on merit dashboard can also be wrong in case that mod deletes/moves threads around, but I decided to stick to merit dashboard numbers in the end as it doesn't seem right to count spam posts that have been deleted for days or even weeks.

New month, new monthly overview of the local boards activity.

All charts were made thanks to data provided by @DdmrDdmr and his Merit Dashboard.

Post activity per local board during March 2021

Despite the ongoing bull run, overall local board activity has  decreased slightly ( ~10%) compared to February. I haven't checked the numbers, but I have a feeling that situation ain't any better in other parts of forum either.

Once again Turkish board has been the most active one but this time German local board took the 2nd spot ahead of Russian who was regularly the most active board up until recently. Decrease in Russian board might be caused by high amount of deleted posts, rather than decreased overall activity. majoruty of other boards remained on pretty much the same level as in February, but some like Portuguese had big increase, by almost 50%!

Another curiosity is that for the first time since I am making this overview, Chinese local board ended up with the positive post count!

---

Merit shared per local board during March 2021

Decrease in posting activity has been followed by a decrease in merit shared, and with the similar decrease too (again ~10%). While most of boards had relatively similar amount of merit shares like during February, two local boards stood out; Indonesian local board increased merit shared by ~60%, while German had the complete opposite, and are down by ~40%! I do hope that's just a temporary decrease.

---

Merit senders/receivers per local board during March 2021

Self explanatory, as always

---

Merit/Post ratio per local board for March 2021

No big changes here as post number decrease was followed by a merit decrease, with standard names at the top. As expected, few boards had decreased ratio like German, French and Portuguese (their ratio decrease is connected to rise in post count), while few like Russian and Indonesian had a nice increase. At the bottom we have already standard local boards, whose situation won't change until they get more merit sources, but as we can see, that's not likely to happen in the future.

That's nothing new really, that Oscar has been used by both actors and Academy for political statements. From Marlon Brando and his refusal to pick up Oscar given for his role in The Godfather due portrayal of Native Americans in the movies, 2004 when Crash won the Oscar (undeservingly ) and up until now. So in my opinion, no much point wasting time on that.

---

I've updated the first post with odds of  ten categories that were missing them initially

"Forum" doesn't have to do anything. After all, bitcointalk already has its coin.

Regarding that part about having to buy bitcointalk tokens in order to run bounty/airdrop. if theymos really wants to monetize that too, he can simply charge that in BTC, no need to make another currency. I really don't get this obsession to make token for every single thing there is..

Ako su place moderatora problem, zasto par mrtvih boardova uopce ima moderatore? Cemu oni sluze, osim toga da trose lovu koja bi se mogla upotrijebiti da se uzmu moderatori za jako aktivne boardove kao nas?

Ili ovo za merite. Ok, ukupan broj merita mozda je dovoljan, ali se vidi ocita razlika izmedju pojedinih boardova. Mislim da je sada ocito da smo medju najkvalitetnijim boardovima, ali smo redovno na dnu po meritu. Zar je tako tesko utrosit malo vremena i balansirati to?

Kao sto @btcltcdigger rece, trosi se vrijeme na pizdarije a ovaj forum svaki dan postaje sve manje relevantan i gubi bitku sa ostalim platformama. Na srecu tu su sig kampanje, bez toga bi sve osim onog tehnickog dijela kompletno zamrlo. Ali sta ce se dogoditi kad oglasivaci jednog dana skuze da je promet toliko pao da se ne isplati imati kampanju?

First of all, welcome to bitcointalk. If you are truly interested in bitcoin, this is the place to be!

What I would suggest you to is to check pinned messages in Beginners & Help section to get yourself properly familiar with all bitcointalk rules ( pay attention to plagiarism which many newbies ignore, usually due complete ignorance). Don't rush and take your time to figure out how things work on forum, as it can be overwhelming for a complete beginner, especially if you don't have experience on other forums.

I thought so too, before I started working in one. I also thought that casinos are cheating people out of their money, while in reality its all about psychology and greed. At least in those few that I worked in.


I know all about RTPs, no worries. The brick&mortar casinos I worked in usually had it around 90%(iirc on the yearly basis ) but there were months when certain slot machines were in the red. It is very unlikely for someone to be in positive due that, but that's why i said that in 6-7 years of working there I only came across one player who managed to constantly get out with the money. Sure, there were days when he lost his set amount, but he never put in extra. And he also always left the casino if he won certain amount of money, and absolutely never started gambling "stronger". He also had bunch of other rules, which he followed without exception.

Being "disciplined" doesn't equal to being "patient". Being disciplined means obeying your own set of rules and sticking to it, no matter how you feel that way, and no matter how hard it is sometimes. In the terms of trading, I guess it would mean having your own set of rules when trading, not fomoing and doing anything outside of that, like blindly hodling altcoins and not cutting the loss. That's why the usually have stop loss set.

For example, professional gamblers also have that, extreme level of discipline. I worked for years in casino, and I am sure of only one guy who was regularly taking the money out of casino. He only played slot machines and he had strict rules that he followed no matter how much he won, with set limit of money he afford to loose every day. The only reason he didn't get banned from there is that he was not gambling big. But he was happy taking every month few hundreds of dollars.

All this of course is much easier said than done, and that's why there are so few pro traders.

He clearly mentioned from where he got the numbers. By the way, why do you think that Alexa is any more accurate and better than than the sources he used as I often heard (from people that know more about subject than me) that similar web is more accurate than Alexa

All those method are wrong to some degree and as @DdmrDdmr said only theymos knows the real numbers.

It's exactly the same situation in Croatian board. We do have some specific topics related to crypto businesses in Croatia, but we also have members from Ex-Yugoslavia (Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia etc) countries that all understand our language well as its very similar (some would say that it's the same language but that's the topic for another conversation) and since they don't have their own local board, they write in "ours". And it works pretty good I must say, to everyone's benefits.

So yeah, the thing that @UmerIdrees said about local boards being segregated by countries an not by languages isn't true at all.

I agree with the first post of your post, that Trial of Chicago 7 is nothing special really, despite the fact that I really like courtroom dramas, but this one was simply an average movie at me. It's probably more about the subject, than the quality of the movie itself.

Regarding the other part, Oscars usually favors dramas, that's how it goes, but also bear in mind that 2020 was a bit different than others; no one wanted to produce and release an expensive big blockbuster movies like in previous years simply because of the closed cinemas.So why would someone invest 200-300 million of dollars if they can't make the profit? 

If everythig was ok, I am sure that we would get more of those "big" movies among nominated ones for the Best Picture. First one that comes to my mind is Dune, that was postponed for late 2021 and I am pretty sure it would end up among nominated ones. And guess which ones are cheap to produce? Dramas.


That doesn't make much sense, and I sure hope awards will never be given on that basis. Most viewed doesn't equal quality.


Yep, that pretty much sums it up for me. I will keep watching everything that he makes, but I don't expect much anymore. But who knows, maybe he can surprise.

Of course they don't, as bounty hunters usually have very small reach outside of other bounty hunters. They usually follow each other on social media channels, and it's very easy to just ban them on telegram. That doesn't mean that they shouldn't try to do something about it though.

Who knows, if OP manages to get enough of bounty hunters, maybe something could be done, but looking at bounty thread, majority of bounty hunters are either inactive or banned, so it won't be an easy task at all.

---

By the way, how come none of the bounty hunters tagged @UHIVESocial account yet? I mean, I know that it doesn't mean much and that account is abandoned, but still if you feel scammed, you should leave him a tag.

It's true that Apple pays way more attention to security than Google, but you are very wrong if you think that their screening system is infallible.It happened to them before in the past (albeit they pay more attention now) and will occasionally keep happening. Sooner or later fake app will pass all the controls and end up on App Store as scammers tend to be very creative and imaginative. It is always a game of cat and a mouse.


Exactly this. Over the years people got used to download apps directly from App Store/Google Play so when they decide to get their first crypto wallet, in 99.99% cases they will do exactly the same thing as many times before. I mean, from their point of view why wouldn't they, in all those years everything worked fine.
