Let's get it straight to the point,

If you are bothered OP on rewarding merits then follow this simple advised from the admin that merits will be rewarded to posts that contributed help for the members and the forum itself. If you see a copy and paste posts and it is helpful then why not give merits? The decision is yours to make and no one can decide it for you when you will going to reward the posts with the merits you have. The admin of this forum lets you set your standard in giving the merits. It is all up to you to make a good use of it.

If your standard is high and you see a good posts but is just being copied and paste why give merits? You can reason out that the post was just being copied and paste so I will not give merits. It is very simple and should not bother you. It is just common sense and don't afraid to get bullied by other members here. They are not perfect too to make a good criticism. I had always seeing rude guys in their replies like seeing that they just wanted to dominate here like a Boss. Ignore and do not mind them and consider their critism is same as trash.

I support this kind of thread because this is a positive point of view in the forum. We cannot deny that there are loads of shit.posts and other members violating the forum rules and regulations.

It may be look like a merit farming threads rewarding of merits is decentralized. Meaning it is up to the member if they will going to reward or not.

I still remember when I was new in the forum. I always like to read and making replies that sometimes I myself is confused with the topic I am replying. If only I was not able to read post like this then I can do plagiarism or other violations.

The information being shared may not new to us existing members but for the newbies this information could be vital in their journey growing up in the forum. Let just support and guide them always. It is always better to give positive response than doing critism. Critism might do good in the development but I think not to this kind of post to criticize.

I already feel being bullied by other members here in the forum by criticism. But I still grow and learning on positive side not minding critism especially if it is not helpful. Learn the good things shared and keep away from members that are not helping in your development in the forum.

There people that are very lucky in gambling. I do not know why they always win. For example here in our place one of our neighbor always win in 3 digit lotto betting up to hundreds to a 2 or 3 combinations probably lossing 100-200 per day of bet but of course he can win weekly like having 50,000 or more depending on his luck.  Now, he had already built his home due to constant winning in 3 digit lotto but everytime I ask for number for me to bet He will not disclose reasoning out that numbers he disclose will never going to win. So he kept it in himself.

Well, Trump had shown great leadership and good decision making. If not people seeing this then he could not win during the last election. However,  the usual reaction of the people after getting into his term is always wanting a change that they could feel even better in their living provided by good governance which usually it is the hardest part of a perso  running a country.

In my opinion it is not very easy to run a  country and being also one of the most powerful leader around the world that could influence other leaders as well.

I think you make a misconception about gambling. Gambling is a business for the casino and they not need luck to earn. The casino has the house edge and that will make them able to earn and profit.

Gambling in casino should be for fun a d excitement. No way that we will going to think that gambling is all about getting profit when you bet. Again, consider gambling as a leisure and socialization. The mindset should set to always lose and not to win and always to get some fun guessing on the winning numbers.

If you think this way then pretty sure will get into gambling addictio  which usually happens to a gambler that has no common sense.

Not really for now banking system are frequently an ooption for making transactions online due to pandemic where virus could be pass on tangibe materials like fiay currency. Hence, the online transaction has been advise always in doing trabsaction.

Now that we are evolving already or grasping the online transaction it may be good to spread the awareness of using bitcoin as a option for payment. This can make a revolutionary way of making online transaction in a decentralized in manner.

Another thing that bitcoin has an advantage is doing the transaction anonymous. Not like in thr banks where they could steal your identity and probably people working on the bank will use it in a way for their own interest.

OP, if you are convince that you found Satoshi I.P address then make more evidence and convincing posts that we can decide on that matter.

For now as what other users had mention that is almost impossible for you to locate it. Besides, after 11 years of using internet probably satoshi change its internet network service provider to a more fast interney service.or had been doing some upgrade in their connection service. Hence looking for the real IP address that would be possibly for SATOSHI would be almost impossible.

Here in our place buying products using bitcoin is not free of tax because the tax is already added to the item which being bought using bitcoin. Aside from that you have also to pay the transaction fee of bitcoin from bitcoin miners confirming the transaction.

It sounds like you spend twice from having tax and at the same time from the transaction fee because your doing from decentralized to centralized system. If you will going to use bitcoin to a decentralized system like monet transfer from around the world then that would be great because it will only take few amounts deducted as transaction fee compared to the centralized service wheb making transaction with them.

Wow, this is a sort of a good way in making bitcoin as a wealth pass it to the next generation until such time that they will be allow to use or spend it.

Bitcoin is one good digital currency and I do believe that it will be adapted to the community over a period of time. This may not going to happen fast but at least it is already making their way for community adaptation. Bitcoin will be useful than any other currencies in the world.

Transferring money outside the country will be easy in a decentralized manner same as making payments and using it to buy products and services. This is an all in one digital cryptocurrency.

Yes before that I am new to bitcoin I was able to make losses in investing due to afraid of bitcoin getting crash. Now it seems that bitcoin will not be easily going to end because it is a P2P system where all who had been downloading bitcoin software are the one running the bitcoin. Bitcoin will only crash if all will.be not using bitcoin anymore. So, now Hodl is one big ideal and strategic in investing bitcoin and another good thing to do is to invest when bitcoin market is low or like crashing.

That is sort of abuse already. This guy has been doingngood by rewarding merit and some wanting to get more. Why?

I know that getting merit is not an easy task but try to contribute helpful post and you will.going to see that someday you will get merit. I saw some users had rank up not because they really a good poster but they make contribution like raising awareness about the forum especially to the newbies.

Depending on luck. We know that bouny hunting is not an easy task to find projects that are worth it or that are really paying.

Few of Defi projects has been doing good like SUSHISWAP, UNISWAP, YEARN.FINANCE and more had been successful in their crowdsourcing for funds. Projects had been growing and I think still continue to grow.

Anyway, I think there are still defi projects that are good projects. Unfortunately some of them are not promoted here instead on different platform.

I guess so. After the sushiswap, uniswap, yearn.finance abd the likes defi projects had turn defi now in silence. I do not know if there could be more Defi projects that will going to achieve like those projects mention above.

Actually there are few good upcoming ICO, DEFI or IEO projects but are not listed or promoted in the forum instead they relay on other ways of spreading awareness or promoting of their project.

One way is to use the survey sites or like the ICO drops for a good list of bounty hunting.

The scam is always there but I do see an improvement in the forum like users now can tag red trust to those who promote scam activity and also users now are avoiding to manage a project due to red trust that might get in promoting the scam project.

Aside from that the forum has also labeled on top of the thread that states awareness especialy if project had been tag for ita reputation. Or project is just being copied and paste by other projects and just change its name.

It is not a good match to bet especially to miami fans. However, I suggest to bet on Miami for game 5 because Lakers might give it to them so that the series will not going to end soon.

I know that Lakers had a huge advantage on this match but I think they could gave the game 5 for Miami. I see in game t3 that they were not really doing their best like kuzma always misses he 3 point shot so Miami could take advantage on turn overs.

This is just my opinion for if ever Miami could win sure that it would be a huge win for having a high odds in the bet.

I think that James Yap is thinking about teaching his son about playing basketball when he saw the height of his son. His son could have a future in basketball with his height that could be an advantage in playing basketball. Other than that as early as his son practicing  playing basketball higher chances that could also do what his father like getting an MVP title in the basketball. Whatever James Yap though about the growth of his son I thin it is for the best of his son and I am only speculating about letting his son join in basketball.

Actually there is no need to get away from gambling just to avoid into gambling addiction. Gambling is one way to get involved in socializing, having fun and excitement and sometimes gaining profit.

The fun should not be avoided. The only to get out of gambling addiction ia to change mindset. A good mindset for gambling is that casino do always win in gambling. Gambling is just for leisure and socialization meeting new friends outside.

Do this mindset could apply to solve gambling addiction? I think so!

Trust is decentralized hence user that get caught making claims without proof of evidence is a sort of abuse in merit system.

I think the best way to get it done right as I have read in other replies is all about chosing the right users to tag flag or red trust to users that are violating the forum rules. Of course it should be supported to something to prove the users being accused with the violations. This to avoid getting abuses in giving red trust to other users that are just giving feedback even just sort of accusations and no proof or evidences.

I was checking for my name in the list and still not qualified to get into that list. LOL, Anyway, the good thing that happen to my account just recently receiving few merits and I glad that I could able to somehow share ideas that might be helpful I guess.

Happy to see other users make it in the list. Actually some of the users are qualified already and are just waiting for the increase of their activity to rank up.

I agree this is not all about signature campaigns or project promoted instead this is all about the orientation of what a certain member should do. We can change by re-orienting other users to act as a member of the forum should be and to reprimand users that are not following or obeying the rules and regulations. It could be done because there are many members here wanting some change especially in spamming, shitposting and doing fraud activities. I think this will be manage over a period of time by doing campaign and awareness here in the forum.
