I don't know whether using signature design of another user or a campaign is against the rules or not. But I think it's kind of plagiarism and it should be against the rules. This user is using design of Cryptotalk. Archived. |

It's always best to bet early. If you bet very fast, you'll have a 100x multiplier (basically double your profit) regardless of option. As it's mutual betting, the odds you have will go up or down as more bets go into the pool. The closing odds is what really matters; before that, the odds shown are only an estimate and likely not very accurate.
A user who bets very early (with 100x multiplier) has the chance to win twice the user who bets on a same outcome at the last second (with 0x multipler). But we cannot say if you bet very early (with 100x multiplier) you win twice the case there was no time weight multiplier. A user who bets with 100x or 90x multiplier has the chance to win extra money. But the user who bets with 0x or 10x multiplier actually earns less than he could win in a betting without time weight multiplier. The extra money that goes to users who bet with 100x or 90x multiplier, comes from pockets of those who bet with 0x or 10x multiplier. If you bet with 100x multiplier, you don't double your profit. Maybe, you increase your winning by 50%. If you bet with 10x multiplier, you don't increase your profit by 10%. Actually, your winning is decreased. |

Maybe it will if someone open their BTT account of five different devices?
I had checked this using two different devices before. I logged in my account on two different devices simultaneously. Refreshed a page by both devices continuously. Both was contributing to "Total time logged in". In every minute, my "Total time logged in" increased by 2 minutes.
When you're logged in but inactive the system considers the user as offline (because it doesn't know what you're doing) if I'm correct.
If you don't refresh or open a new page after a certain time, you will be considered offline. If I am connected to the forum with a device and decide to connect with another device. Isn't the system supposed to automatically disconnect me from the first device? (for security reason or something like that)
You can be online using more than 1 account device at a same time. |

That's not the point though. I'm not spamming one liners but any posts I have made in Bitcoin discussion have received no merit. I've only gotten merit for posting in meta/politics and society which tend to be more hot button topics rather than constructive discussion about cryptos, for example. Merit is not a good measurement of contribution and there are plenty of members who post constructively as a norm that shouldn't be posted in this thread. There'd be way too many replies to post. Nearly every legendary member of the forum posts non-spam and should earn merit for every 10 posts they make by default because they're the last type of members to post spam.
You have received only 4 merits. You shouldn't expect your received merits to have been distributed through all sections. Be constructive. I am sure you will get merit. As o_e_l_e_o suggested, report unmerited posts that you think they deserve to be merited, I am sure you they will get merit if they deserve. If you think you have already been constructive but haven't received merits you deserved: 1. Be patience. 2. Continue to be constructive and even more constructive. 3. Don't post for merit I understand that, but merit is displayed as one overall number. Not split into merit and sMerit. So when merit decays, your overall number decreases and now you lose overall merit through sending merit, and decaying. This would certainly act as a disincentive to send merit if you are now losing merit two ways.
I recommend you to visit the following thread created by DdmrDdmr and participate in the poll. Merit - simple poll on operational fundamentals |

No no I mean the Outcome ODDS is i it fixed when I bet or can it change ? Ok ok the outcome odds change everytime . Sometime the other soccer is better. But when I placed a Bet, can then the Outcome odds change ?
If I'm not mistaken, the outcome odds (which was 1.44) is fixed the moment you bet, so anyone betting after you (or if you decide to bet later) will have lesser multipliers. But the opposite can also happen (i.e. multiplier value increase after you bet). For example, 3 days before the match, you bet on the Spurs VS Liverpool so naturally many will bet on Liverpool, making the odds 1.44, assuming you want Liverpool to win. But 1 day before the match, Liverpool's goalkeeper suddenly had a leg injury so after your bet, the multiplier of Liverpool increases to 1.89. Even if Liverpool wins, you will be paid on the 1.44 multiplier. This is exactly how odds work in different sports betting platforms I know. But I think there is a difference in Freebitco and the odds can change even after you make the bet. Here is what the website says about outcome odds. "Estimated odds for this outcome. Actual odds will be calculated after betting ends for this event." |

I could see decaying airdropped merit, though I'm not convinced of it currently. If it was done, it may be best to do something like this:
- Your current activity score as of <whenever this change would be done> is recorded, which I'll call EPOCH_ACTIVITY.
- Your merit score is defined as max(0, AIRDROPPED_MERIT-(CURRENT_ACTIVITY-EPOCH_ACTIVITY)/7) + EARNED_MERIT.
In this case all active users will lose their airdropped merits at a same rate. The rate of losing airdropped merits can be a function of earned merits in the last X days too. For example, if someone had received 500 airdropped merits and has also earned 500 merits doesn't lose airdropped merits. Because this user deserved those airdropped merits. |

Didn't understand why this is the case. If the sender pays from different addresses, should the system not make each into a seperate transaction? What is the cut-off for deciding which sends are consolidated into one transaction?
We can have several inputs and outputs in a single transaction. I'm fascinated by the fact that we can set the fee. Suppose I set it to the minimum (or zero...?) is the transaction guarenteed to go through (with the delay)? Thanks.
The fee should be higher than zero, so the transaction is included in a block. You can use the link below for the calculation of the required fee. https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/fee-calculator/
By the way, making multiple posts in a row is against forum rules. Please delete the last post you made and merge it into the previous one. 1. Edit the last post you made. 2. Copy the entire post into your clipboard. 3. Edit the previous post and paste your clipboard content. 4. delete your last post. |

Does anyone know how merit ratio is calculated? As it is said on the website, merit ratio is Merit sent/received ratio. I checked some profiles. That doesn't seem to be true. For example, Theymos has sent 11850 merits and has received 6273 merits. So merit ratio should be 11850/6273= 1.89. But the merit ratio is 0.84 |

There are many legendary members that are wasting their time in altcoin bounties without any income. The issue is not their income; I couldn't care less if these altcoins all turn out to be worthless (and most do). The issue is the spam they create in pursuit of said income. Yes, But the lower their income is, the less they spam. If there is no income and there is no benefit in spamming, they will leave the forum. They are here only to join campaigns, spam and earn money. Can you imagine the amount of merit selling will happen once theymos will drop a bomb for something like this?
If Theymos decides to make changes, I don't think he announces anything before that. |

There is no doubt the merit system is more in favor of old members. Now they are benefiting because they knew the forum earlier. I expect this to be finally changed (I don't think it happens in near future). I don't think 5 years later, some users have a special privilege only because they registered earlier. Theymos will decide. All airdropped merits may be removed in a second, they might be decayed over a year or there will be a complicated formula.
Anyway, now thanks to signature campaign managers, there isn't a big problem. A legendary member who hasn't earn any merit is not qualified for participating in a good signature campaign while there are users with member and full member ranks that are participating in good campaigns. There are many legendary members that are wasting their time in altcoin bounties without any income. Now having an account with a higher rank doesn't increase your chance of participating in campaigns.

Look at the difference between first position to second position for the latest contest results it looks very far more than 120 btc and i do agree if the statistics belong to the whales and i think this is first time to me seeing those wager statistics in the contest but seems it will be the last big wager i had seen because i didn't see big wager again appears at the current contest
Big wager can come anytime even in the last seconds, that's the common thing I can see on wagering contest. Those who have smaller bankroll are wagering earlier because they need to make more bets with lower bet amount and whales come in the last hours/minutes with bigger bet amount. Of course it does not happen every day, whales can come anytime they wish. Those who wager in the last minutes try to win the contest with the minimum wagering amount needed. They usually wager a little more than the second place. In the previous contest, the winner has wagered 125 BTC. The purpose of that gambler wasn't only winning the contest. He had likely wagered that amount during 24 hours. |

I hope there will be reaction from the staff soon and probably some good changes preventing this shit from happening again as well.
Perhaps evil points can help us. After all of these accounts are banned, the evil points of IP (or IPs) associated with these accounts will increase significantly. Then they will have to pay for registering new accounts. |

The fact is that there are more than 400 alt accounts who posted in the thread.
And this number is increasing very fast. 113 out of last 500 created accounts have made a post in this thread.
All links to profiles of those spammers should be edited. They are now not working. Add ":" after https |

I had reported the topic yesterday with a link to this thread. The thread isn't trashed yet nor the OP of that thread get banned. I'm really surprised what are the rules for it. They are abusing the system; trying to get bumped the thread as well as having impression from the investors I guess.
Can an admin/mod tell us why no action is taken yet on this?
Do not expect the OP of that thread to get banned. The OP can only get negative trust. There have been many ANN thread with fake volume. I have seen some thread that were deleted. But usually, they are not trashed. |

So, the house edge is 6.7%
Why should play a game with 6.7% house edge?
Still got surprised? You can also see it on other sites as well having that roullette game consisting of 14 tiles of red and black then 1x green color.Its normal for games like these to have that level of HE. Lots of our players love it because you can hit 14x very easily compared to 36x Anyone loves this game know nothing about odds, winning chance, house edge, etc. Assume that the odds for gold coin is 36x, In this case we should have 37 coins, 18 of coins should be red, 16 of them should be silver and one coin should be gold. If so, the house would be: HE(If the odds for gold is 36x)=1-((1/37)*36)=0.027 So, if there are 37 coins, the house edge is 2.7% while in a game with 15 coins, the house edge is 6.7% I cannot understand why users should prefer 15 coins to 37 coins. As I said, only those who know nothing about house edge love your game. |

I agree, the Merit requirement wasn't the best to support Newbies participating here and for the next time I'll see how I can improve it. I'm in doubt that a general "everyone can participate here" will work. I've seen so many giveaways failing because cheaters destroyed them. It's extremely difficult to spot if users are alts when they have not many posts. However, I'll try to find a creative way how we can make fairer rules next time.  Requiring participants to have certain number of merits was the best thing you could do and you did it. There should be a requirement, a minimum post count, a minimum activity or minimum merits. I think minimum merits is the best option and I personally cannot find a better solution. As you said, there are some competitions in "games and round" board. Some owners don't bother themselves to make a rule. Some of them say that using multiple accounts are not allowed, but actually they do nothing to fight multiple accounts. Most of those competitions are due to promotion and advertising purposes and owners don't have any issue with multiple accounts. Because multiple accounts help their thread be more active and this is exactly what they want. But your giveaway is different from them. You are paying the reward with your own money, want to have a fair competition and have to make a rule to avoid cheaters. |

The "submit" button when reporting a post navigates the user to the board that contains that post.
In my opinion, it would be more convenient if that button navigate the user to the post that was reported.
Sometimes, while I am reading posts in a thread, I decide to report a post. Reporting the post causes me to leave the thread and I have to find the thread again.
Sometimes I want to report two consecutive posts. After I report the first one and I open the thread again, I forget which post I reported.
I know the solution is very simple and I can open the report page in a new tab. But most of the times I forget that. I can also use "back" button after reporting. Despite of these, I think it would be better and more convenient if the report button navigates the user to the reported post not to the board contains the post. At least, it can save more time.

I couldn't find anything about the chance of winning, the house edge and procedure of determining the winning color in roulette
But there are 15 coins. 7 of coins are red, 7 of coins are silver and one coin is gold.
So the winning chance should be:
Red and silver: 7/15
Gold: 1/15
The house edge can be calculated as follows:
If red and silver coins are considered:
HE=1-((7/15)*2))=0.067
If the gold coin is considered:
HE=1-((1/15)*14))=0.067
So, the house edge is 6.7%
Why should play a game with 6.7% house edge?

If you have posts or topic made in Serious discussions board, then that's the case since posts on that board are not counted/ - Posts in Serious Discussion only activate a potential-activity period. They do not increase your post count. Seems that you misunderstood the OP. The issue is that the post count is higher than number of posts made. |
|
|
|
|
Obviously, it's a bug. Now, at the time I am making in this post, there are 2257 posts in your post history while your post count is 2259.
