I never try to think "outside the box" since it doesn't fit with my way. A veteran member may earn merits by applying a simple approach but it probably doesn't work to me. In my understanding, sometimes merit is something quite subjective. So, even if it works for a certain member, it doesn't always work for others. We are better to try with common ways, even it also has no guarantee to earn single merit. 

Buddy, why don't you make a small topic and you really master it? It is much better than you create a topic like this. How can a member who still can't earn single merit, trying to give advice to others about how to earn merits effectively? Even you stated that way can guide you to achieve the legendary member rank. Is it logical and trustable, buddy? NO buddy, people will doubt your suggestion and probably laugh on you. Commonly, people only believe in you once you can prove it yourself.

Regarding what you wrote in the OP, I think it is too general. Even, almost all of them* are not specifically related to the way of earning merits. Make it more specific and more technical.

I also ever made a thread/topic which also covers suggestions related to how to earn merits. Please, check it below:

Source: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5214808.msg53516845#msg53516845


Anyway, I hope you can more focus to improve your own account first. You are free to give any suggestions about merits, but it will better if you prove it yourself first.

Sepengetahuan saya, yang diutamakan tetaplah rank yang sedang dibutuhkan. Persis seperti yang dibilang agan @ryzaadit, yahoo tetap akan fokus ke rank member sesuai dengan slot yang kosong saat ini. Opsi mengambil rank yang lebih atas untuk mengisi slot member yang kosong hanya akan dilakukan ketika rank-rank member yang apply tidak ada yang memenuhi standar yang diharapkan oleh yahoo. Jadi tidak perlu khawatir bahwa peluang agan lebih kecil ketimbang rank yang lebih atas, malahan sebaliknya.

Default website for comparing cryptocurrency prices?
Coinmarketcap is the biggest tracker for crypto and also exchanges. No doubt of it although now,, CMC ahs a big issue from some parties because of the acquisition by Binance.
Seriously that developers can list their coin on CMC before on the exchange? Where do you find this?
One of the listing criteria to be listed on coinmarketcap is here:
It must be traded, have trading volume, and at least in one exchange.
You can also read the other listing criteria of CMC here:
https://support.coinmarketcap.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034124351-Listings-Criteria

There are actually still some more tracers that can be used. Maybe you can also add this
Openmarketcap: This tracker only uses data from the trusted exchanges in counting or listing the volume and price. So, it must be also more trusted.

For the most I use actually only Coinmarketcap and also CoinGecko. For the others, only sometimes when I need it.

Isn't that if fiat starts to collapse, some parties will probably precisely look at cryptocurrencies and want to make it acceptable in their country? Why should be banned because of the collapsed fiat? Do they think that crypto makes worse of their fiat? if so, it is about the competition and And this does not have to wait for the collapse but now can also prohibit crypto.

I quoted from the source:

Is this true? If this law is approved and adopted, it will have a global impact. How come? Many cryptocurrency players are from this country. Many crypto companies are also from Russia. Will this affect the crypto world globally?
Maybe there are currently pros and cons related to the holding of this new policy. especially with the fines and sanctions submitted. However, if it is determined, will they still be able to play behind?

Actually we should feel grateful because lately, more and more countries are exploring and interested in cryptocurrency. Therefore, it is unfortunate if such a law is passed. Moreover, Russia is a big country.

But personally I will not believe if this will happen, this country sometimes makes a high news and then it changes again.

The best bounty is those paid on BT. And of course, they are limited participants. This is true, to reach this, we must try and do more efforts, more than usual in order to compete with many members in this forum, to be the most suitable member to be chosen by the BM.

However if it is about the usual bounty paid with their new coin or token. I personally agree that the participants should be limited. However, the team may choose not to limit the participants because they think that more participants, more promotions to be spread. And then, giving the next task after the bounty end can decrease the number of participants. One of them is doing KYC, fulfilling more forms, and others. When there are some participants that miss the ways to do KYC or fulfill the task, they will get no payment. Is this a good idea? And I really hate this way when I still did bounties with new token payment.

Actually, a bounty manager should be fair to the participants. Limiting participants is a good idea in order to make it fairer to the members. It will also reduce the spamming (although very little chance). You may need only 200 participants in the maximum numbers, however, of course, the rules and regulations should be more strick.

Do they really want to have a war? I personally will never imagine about it. It may be the third world war in the world? It will cause many things to this stability. And I don't think it will happen this summer, moreover, right now, every counrty is doing a war with COVID-19. So, I am sure that they will not choose to have another war in the country.

However, If they really want to have a war with the US this summer and they will hack the BTC for cost, they should have done it from a year ago. Preparing costs for a war is not something easy and short. It should be done from a long time ago in order to get enough funds. And the fact is that Chinae doesn't do that. I am sure that The two countries have their money to start and finish the wars.

The next questio is about hacng Bitcoin? What BTC? What owns? Or from the mining? China, we know that most miners come from this county. And when they want to hack BTC, they will be able to because most of them are also smart enough to this kind of technology. However, I don't think that the other hackers and people worldwide will accept this because it doesn't only affect the US but also to all people in this world. I am sure China will ever do that.

I will not be involved in it. You know, politics in my country is very complicated, with dramas, and also hard competition. Therefore, I prefer to stay away from politic situation that may make me feel dizzy listening to them. Better to do other online games, sports betting that is worthier and more normal to my life.
Well, additionally gambling is something that is not good to be done in my country, it is illegal. So I will not think that we can do this political gambling in most countries. But here, your ideas may be interesting.
But seriously, if your country legalizes it and it is accepted to be conducted, I will be really curious to see the review about the betting of politics, who win and who lose, it may be interesting.

Well, most of them said that the coin is a scam, the price is flying down, and some negative things about that. Wait, did they just say this coin is a scam because of dump price? And most of them are newbie ranks and similar members. Therefore, I still cannot determine this.

Then, I tried to catch more information on coinmarketcap:

The price shows interesting, it is $145.18 USD (2.32%) / 0.01575781 BTC (2.23%). It seems worthy moreover with that high price. However, I personally am not interested in this kind of coin, moreover the coin with the "Bitcoin" name. As usual, it probably only to attract the people to invest in this coin.
For mining? I still don't do it. So, better to be careful when going to invest in this kind of coin, do more research and know deeply what the mining works.

Should it be online products/services?
I prefer to buy daily family needs by online, can it be? For, going outside is riskier, so buying those products online is better right?
What's else I will concern to buy during this pandemic and recession? Car? House? No, we don't need them right now.

But, if I have more money, I think that online gold investment may be worthy, can it be one of them?
I wonder what else I can buy, but nothing. I only concern to my life and family life continuity.

I ever heard about this coin and now I have searched.
Well, is this token that the OP refers to?

The price is absolute wow, going to be a dead coin. There is no trading volume and no clear information about it )if it is true what the OP refers to). Is this coin for donation or as a usual token to be traded only? I cannot find much information about this coin exactly.

Moreover, what is their official website? Is this CoronaCoinOfficial.com or https://coronatoken.org/?
But the most important thing is that those two websites are dead, cannot be accessed.

For OP, I don't think that this coin is legit. If you are new in crypto investment, never it is better for you to avoid investing in this coin, this seems strange. Additionally, as a newcomer in the crypto world, never only thing to invest in a coin that is only by hype. Learn more and better to put your funds in the exact coins, for example on the top 10 coins on CMC at least. It may be safer for you (although it also doesn't guarantee).

Only God, he, his family, and relation who know.
I really don't know why you ask this question, are you so curious? Let's pray for him that he is okay, healthy, and safe, so do all of us.

Probably, we are the next that will die. Or probably you, watch out, be ready, beware, but not panic.

Nothing, because we don't know who exactly he is and we don't know what he is.

I think it is not only in the UK but almost in all countries, gambling is addictive and will attract many more people times to times.
Moreover in this pandemic era, probably there are many more people who are playing online gambling. As we know, online gambling is now available in many countries (although still not legalized, they cans till play sometimes). It can be accessed by many more people, with many new gamblings or games, offering interesting bonuses or jackpots and many others to attract the gamblers or even the newcomers.

it is like funny But it really can be if someone doesn't have strong mental or willing not to be involved in gambling. For, when he asked his friend to stop gambling and his friend told him about what he has got so far, he may be interested in that profits and start going to know about gambling. From only want to know, he is learning, and then trying to playing only "once". Then, he is attracted and play more and more because of the curiosity at first. And then, it is becoming an addiction without he is realizing.

Do you mean the vintage one? I also use vintage MEW. But now, Vintage MEW has migrated to MEW (new MEW) since 20 October 2019
First, do you still have the private key? Or only saving the Keystore?

From what I have read on the https://kb.myetherwallet.com/en/migration/importing-vintagemew-to-mew/
There you can also find the completed information about Vintage MEW migration to the new one.

Go to "https://www.myetherwallet.com/access-my-wallet"
here, you need to find this menu and there are some options to choose to access your wallet.

To use the keystores, it is said "Not Recommended" because:


However, as I remind is that in the vintage MEW, it is also not recommended to use PK, Keywstores, or other software in accessing the MEW. They more suggest us to use the "Offline wallet" or other three options above.

Not recommended doesn't mean that you cannot access the wallet. You can still access it, but it is on your risk because it may be risky of hack or other. But so far, I personally use this way to access my MEW, access by software (mostly using Private Key or "Keystore+password")

The way to access even your vintage wallet is by importing your Keystore and then continued by entering your "Password". After accessing your wallet, I will suggest you import the "Private Key". For, this can be easily used to access your ERC20 wallet from other platforms such as Metamask and others. Here, save your PK securely.

But, if you want to access your wallet more securely, you can use the other ways as I attached above, it can be using MEWconnect Protocol, Access by Hardware, and Access via MetaMask. I think that Access via MetaMask is the easiest way so far I do, of course I have the private key to access on Metamask easier.



Actually, there is also a MEW application on Google Store and App Store so that you can also use this.

Actually this is a bit strange when a thread only contains a URL link. I agree with the proposal @ETFbitcoin, it would be better if given details about the webinar.

From the link, we can get the details and information regarding the webinar. And well yeah, This webinar is finished.

Actually this webinar is interesting, moreover with those speakers. I'm sure that the webinar was informative and valuable for the audience.

Hopefully OP can be back to this thread again, lock this thread, and add the information "This webinar was finished"

A domain is used as one of the starting ways if we are going to build a website. When going to build a website, what in our mind is to create a presence of our business online. Related to this, we must need to make our website grow up well, known by many people. most searched, and can be memoried easily by the people. Therefore, choosing a domain name is certainly one important factor that must be considered. We can not carelessly create a domain name. Domains with keywords that are famous and most searched, simple, relevant, and easy to remember are usually the target. Moreover, commonly there are three main purposes of building a website: only start a website, set for business, and for investment.

Based on this, the domain price will vary and this is influenced by several factors. There are at least 5 factors that most influence the price of a domain.

1. SEO factors (Search Engine Optimization)
The price will be influenced by SEO-friendliness. It relates to the keyword of the domain name that we are willing to have. When a domain contains a popular keyword, the price will increase. It is called also as the domain demand, more popular and desired name, the price will be highly increased. As you have said that Bitcoin or cryptocurrency is one of the popular keywords. We can see in this picture, most of the names of the domains have been already taken or registered because they are so popular.
We can see from this following picture related to the common price of a domain with a "Bitcoin" name.

Example is taken from namecheap.com

2. Top-Level Domain (TLD) or extension types
TLD is basically the end name of a domain. TLD is commonly considered trustworthy so that the price will be more expensive. The most popular TLDs are likely .com, .org, .net, .co, .gov, or a domain  with country-specific name extensions.
Here are the basic prices of TLD from three popular domain registrar:

Source taken from https://www.multimediaxp.com/post/60/domain-name-tld-princing-comparison-2020

3. Length of Used Terms
This relates to the terms that you are going to use. Sometimes, longer terms will affect the cost pricier. But sometimes, longer terms will decrease the costs because it is not so popular and less desirable.

4. Additional fees
The additional fees may be charged because of the auto-renewal costs of your domain, moreover for the longer investment or longer business domain. The length of the contract will also influence based on how long will you register the domain.

5. Privacy and protection of Domain Name
As we know, privacy is one of the most wanted terms when choosing a domain, so do that we also need protection. To keep our privacy and get protection, some domain registrar will charge more fees. It also relates to the details of our personal information or register that is common can be seen in the database of ICANN WHOIS .

Well, at least those are what influence the price of the domain. In this case, once more, Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are two popular names with high desire to have. Many people are now searching these two keywords, moreover, currently, the cryptocurrency world is booming again because fo the halving and pandemic. So, this condition will also increase the costs of the domain.

Since Binance acquired CMC, of course, there will likely be some changes. Previously there were indeed many who doubted the independence of CMC if it was acquired by Binance. some things are feared is the manipulation of data exchange and ranking, because Binance itself is a large exchange.

However, the Binance and Coin Market Cap Parties have confirmed that Binance will not be directly involved in internal matters related to ranking. Zhao ensured that the acquisition from Binance won't change the independence of CMC from the external stakeholders:

And about the accuse from The Vice-President of Huobi, we exactly cannot understand it is true or not. There should be some proof of the acquisition. And in my opinion, instead of posting there, why isn't it better to contact the CMC and confirm it? That might be better.
Actually, this might also be a question mark related to the independence of CMC. Is it really independent or is there an intervention? Maybe in the future, there will be other accusations that consider the involvement of Binance as a rival exchange. So, it would be better if the CMC also provides data related to the allegations so that the public understands which is exactly correct.

Are you sure that the number is the current statistic of the crypto wallet user? 2.9-5.8 M?
You should update the amount. It is the number when the statistic in the year of 2017. Did you take the source from https://www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/fileadmin/user_upload/research/centres/alternative-finance/downloads/2017-04-20-global-cryptocurrency-benchmarking-study.pdf ?? This was research conducted in 2017. Please crosscheck it.

I already searched about the increasing numbers of the users:



This statistic was taken in the latest research by www.statista.com. The statistic shows that in Q1 of 2020, the number almost reaches 50M users. Is this awesome, isn't it? The number keeps rising.

There was also research conducted by https://news.bitcoin.com/the-number-of-cryptocurrency-wallet-users-keeps-rising/, but it is in 2019. The data also showed the rising numbers of crypto wallet users until 2019.

It was in 2018, can you show how much right now in the current year? I think that from 2018 to 2020, there must be increasing. I'm still searching for the latest update.


As I have said, you use the old data statistic. And now, the fact the data show a high increase from year to year. Many more people and countries keep following and involved in the crypto world.
