...chart...
A bit off, but can you also do something about the Rep and Gabling Discussion Board? On whose the Top 10 Posters there? Just curious 🤔 ... Sure, here are the top 10 Reputation board posters during 2020 1. suchmoon [996] 2. LoyceV [788] 3. Timelord2067 [603] 4. Vod [557] 5. TECSHARE [498] 6. Lauda [482] 7. marlboroza [482] 8. JollyGood [433] 9. YOSHIE [382] 10. nullius [333] And top 10 in Gambling Discussion Board during same period 1. Vishnu.Reang [1530] 2. coinlocket$ [1520] 3.

So I don't go more offtopic, you can also check it by yourself for any other board very easy via Ninjastic.space, an excellent tool made by @TryNinja as that's the one I used for those lists as well. Just click on "Posts" tab in the top left corner and choose the board you want the see and set the time frame. |

The thread is full of comments from users whose accounts were created probably just to talk only about this project. I don't know if someone has purchased bumping service or creates these accounts by himself, but it looks quite suspicious: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5305207.0It indeed looks suspicious and upon checking their announcement thread and website I found the evidence of making commenting on Ann thread one of the requirements for their airdrop which is against the forum rules. I reported the thread to moderators and hopefully it gets deleted soon. |

The thing is that I am not "afraid" of a user that may report the above post (or a post with similar content) for plagiarism, because the meaning of it has common sense.
What I am worry about are the bots that scan the posts. I seriously doubt that bots are reporting posts that have source link shared, no matter how you formatted the text. As long as you share the link you are safe, even if you copied an entire text and then just shared reference link at the bottom. Whether that's a good posting style and should rules be changed is topic for another discussion. I have seen a lot of accounts in my regional section of the forum that have been banned without knowing the exact reasons in which they were real people, with only one account, and some of them were also helping the community
If they were helpful and good members of the community prior the ban, it makes sense to make appeal topic here in meta. If they can prove that their activity on the forum was overall positive, there is a chance to lift the ban. Just wanna warn you that chances of that happening are extremely low, but it is worth a shot in some cases. As theymos explained: If you think that a ban should be ended, make your case in a new topic from a "good for the forum as a whole" perspective.

I za kraj ove serije analiza, na redu je mjesecni pregled aktivnosti naseg boarda. Kao i uvijek do sada za podatke je zasluzan @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboard
Broj postova u periodu 01.12-31.12Po ovom chartu i merit dashboardu ispada da smo prosli mjesec napisali samo 304 posta, iako je nasa stvarna aktivnost u stvari dosta veca, ali se ponekad podaci malo poremete uslijed pomjeranja tema u nove boardove. Alternativa tome bi bilo koristiti ninjastic.space, ali sa tim toolom je problem sto broji cak i one postove koji su kasnije obrisani (a bilo je dosta spama prosli mjesec) tako da daje napuhanu sliku aktivnosti. Onako po nekoj mojoj povrsnoj procjeni pregledom ninjastic.spacea stvarna aktivnost posli mjesec nam je bila cca 800 postova, sto je i dalje super te se nadam da slijedeci mjesec necemo imati takvoh problema te se ce post count pravilno prikazati  Evo i usporedbe nas i ostalih boadova. Nakon dugo vremena Rusi nisu prvi a Turci jako rastu iz mjeseca u mjesec. Navodno je jedan od razloga sto se Turci sve masovnije zanimaju za kripto zbog toga sto Turska Lira jako gubi na vrijednosti pa ljudi kupuju kriptovalute. Sa stvarnim brojevima mi bi opet par mjesta vise, ali i neki ostali boardovi su imali problema sa izbrisanim postovima.
Analiza merita za period 1.12-31.12U 12/2020 na nasem boardu je podijeljeno 178 merita sto je blagi pad u odnosu na 11/2020 kad je podijeljeno 210 merita. Normalne amplitude reako bih, nije razlog za neku uzbunu. Kao sto se vidi iz charta ispod, u zadnjih 5 mjeseci se jako dobro drzimo i ne idemo ispod 167 merita, a bas slab mjesec nismo imali od 5/2020. Nadam se da ce tako i ostati u buducnosti. Ovako se dijelio/primao merit tijekom 12/2020 po memberima Sto se tice usporedbe nas i ostalih boardova mi se drzimo negdje u sredini sto je svakako dobar rezultat, a za nesto bolje ipak nam treba da se odobri @dkbit98 merit aplikacija. Na vrhu je vec standardna ekipa, eventualno samo ponekad mijenjaju pozicije kao u ovom slucaju kad su Nijemci zamjenili mjesto sa Rusima.
Merit/Post ratio za 12/2020 Posto je prosli mjesec na vise boardova bio poremecen zbog velike kolicine izbrisanih postova, dodao sam jos jednu vrijednost u chart a to je prosjek za zadnjih 12 mjeseci, cisto da se dobije malo bolji dojam realne situacije, iako i te vrijednosti mogu zavaravati. Ovaj chart cu morati jos malo doraditi slijedeci mjesec da to malo bolje i preglednije izgleda.
I za kraj, lista najaktivnijih domacih membera za 12/2020 za sto je koristen ninjastic.spacePosto je nekako postalo standardno da se navodi top 30, tako sam i ja stavio. Cak nam je i par nukanih spammera uspjelo upasti u top 30, koje sam naknadno micao sa liste. Uopce nije bilo sumnje tko ce biti prvi na ovoj listi, mozda bi bilo zanimljivo da otvorimo neki bounty na to prvo mjesto, ako ima voljnih probati nadspammati slackovica makar u ovom kracem periodu  slackovic (109) Daniel91 (81) casperBGD (81) Trofo (79) btcltcdigger (64) dkbit98 (64) FatFork (50) cryptofrka (42) Rikafip (34) -CryptoViking- (30) Pmalek (29) marlboroza (29) sbogovac (24) Stalker22 (22) CroBoy12 (14) RegulusHr (10) ovcijisir (9) big_daddy ( 8 ) 3dOOm (7) GreenProfit (7) Bitcoin Store (6) Krastavac (6) Maggie Skyhunter (6) antun2203 (6) MikeCro (5) Pixavz (4) SISAR (4) Toby71 (3) fillippone (3) mladen00 3) |

Forsage is a ponzi scheme, plain and simple. Take your money out while/if you can before it is too late and for the love of god, don't bring more people into this, no matter the profit platform promises you. It is so popular that even caused bunch of clones, that are trying to scam the people in the similar manner. Rule of thumb: if someone promises you good profit without much effort, you can be pretty sure that it is a scam. Forsage.io ponzi scheme [Warning]Beware: FORSAGE another scheme (Ponzi) |

I spotted cheater on bounty campaign managed by Small Rabbit. He accepted and paid the cheater from the first week all the way to the fourth week of the campaign. My question is, how is it possible to not spot a cheater in the bounty he is managing and how do they check participants? Explanation is very simple: majority of bounty managers are paid so little (and from what I heard mostly in altcoins of the project they are advertising) that they simply don't care much and don't check spreadsheets thoroughly. But even if they are doing that, there is always a chance for some scammer to simply avoid detection. I understand mate but does this means this kind of unethical services and behaviour will still be tolerated by the forum and freely cheat anytime they want? If this kind of thing will be tolerated more and more people like that will show up. The forum does not tolerate spamming and shitposting so we have no problem with that but how about bounty managers that accept and pay cheaters? I think they also deserve the consequences together with spammers and shitposters this is the "fairness" I have mentioned. Scams are not moderated on the forum, so that applies to those that are cheating bounty campaigns too. All we can do (DT members) is to tag them, but in most cases that only means that scammer will create new account and continue with business as usual. Whack-a-mole game. What do you think is the best way we can do regarding this never ending issue? Do we need to do something or just leave them alone and do their thing?
You (and when I saw "You" I mean bounty hunters in general) should start avoiding bounty managers that are not doing their job properly. So next time when Small Rabbit starts bounty campaign, simply don't join. If enough bounty hunters do the same, they will soon realize that slacking is affecting their business and might start doing things properly. Unfortunately, chances of that are extremely low because an average bounty hunter don't really care about all that, he will join just about any bounty campaign no matter who is bounty managers and whether project he is promoting makes any sense. One thing I would like to see from bounty managers is to start being more selective who they accept and automatically kick everyone below Jr Member rank, so bounty hunters are less inclined to cheat as getting your Jr Member account tagged hurts way more than getting worthless Newbie account tagged. Once again, chances of that happening ain't best as majority of them only cares about the numbers they will show to those that hired them. |

One month passed, time to update the list of exposed scams. As expected, numbers are still high and in the previous period nine more scams have been busted. Seems like trend of scammy DeFi projects are kinda slowing down, or at least that was my impression based on the scams I've encountered. Might be that they are starting to avoid bitcointalk and are focusing their promotion via other platforms like Telegram and Discord as they know that in most cases they will be busted because all they have is copied content. With new BTC all time high we can expect increased scammers numbers but luckily bitcointalk has very active scam busting community so vast majority of them are busted soon after showing up, whether through announcement or bounty thread.

The information on most active users per board is smashing, and provides a nice overview on who posts there with more weight (in terms of number of posts). I discovered a profile on the Spanish local board list whom I’ve never encountered before, but that’s because the posts are Ann/bounty related. That's one of the things I might keep in the future monthly overviews, but will think about it as I don't want to share too much info in order to keep it "brief" as mentioned in the title and not bore people and divert them from this overview. But there is so much interesting info so it's getting kinda hard not to include some of those. Using the above, all deleted spam is not accounted for in the post count nor derive ratios (nor should they). For example, we made it roughly over 800 deleted posts in the Spanish Local board last month, that were largely part of the bot wars on Bitcointalk posts (links, backlinks, etc.). These do not show in any of the indicators on the Merit Dashboard.
True, that's why in the end I went with data provided by your Merit Dashboard. Regarding most active members lists, some smaller local boards even have nuked accounts with now 0 posts among most active members during 2020, so I had to check them manually. And all those posts are counted by ninjastic.space towards total board activity, inlating the numbers. |

Zaboravio si spomenuti najvažniju stvar, da ne prihvaćaju lokalne postove.
To znači da svih 20 postova mora biti u engleskom dijelu foruma.
Ipak, tko je trenutno bez kampanje i nije mu problem pisati na engleskom, ovo je jako dobra ponuda, kvalitetna kampanja i manager.
Kad malo bolje razmisliš, uopće me ne čudi da kampanje ne broje lokalne postove. Naime, računaju na to da će netko tko nosi njihov signature biti aktivan na svom boardu bez obzira na to brojali se postovi ili ne. Možda neće baš biti aktivni kao da se broje, ali ipak dobiju dosta postova besplatno. Moja kampanja dobije od mene free promociju ovdje, jedno tridesetak postova mjesečno što nije loše. Volio bi naravno da broje ali jebat ga. Roobet kampanja je ponovo popunjena, a OWNR wallet ce imati slobodno mesto za jednog full membera.  Čestitke na ulasku u Roobet, znači ti si zamjenio FatForka. Nadam se da njegova kampanja potraje tako da se taj rizik isplati na kraju.
Kako drukčije naš board izgleda danas u odnosu na prije cca godinu dana kad nas je znalo biti ako me pamćenje dobro služi i 5-6 u Bitvestu tako da jedino što si mogao vidjeti je njihov sig jer se spamalo do besvijesti . |

They have been sorted based on ID of main boards.
Ah I see, thanks for clearing that out. I suspected that there must be some kind of logic behind that sorting and that boards were not randomly put there as that kinda wouldn't make much sense, but I just couldn't figure it out so thought to ask. They are sorted by their ID. The forum doesn't follow any specific rule, so I would need to do it manually. Not worth the effort, IMO. Too bad, but fair enough . I will eventually get used to it, so thanks anyway. One suggestion: maybe change or add merit received/merit sent to 120 days timeframe instead of 3 months as that's the info people often use because it is a requirement for the majority of signature campaigns. |

I was surprised when I learn that LeBron and Harden's career high was only 61 points. Kudos to Curry for doing 62.
That's cause he's the only scoring option in Warriors now, no Durant, no Thompson. He can use ball all the time. His good field goal percentage made this score.
We might see more from him this season. There is no expectation for Warriors, no pressure for Curry.
I wouldn't characterize 61 points career high as "only" as that's quite a lot actually. All-time list of career high can be misleading. If you exclude Wilt Chamberlain and his crazy numbers as that was completely different era and on top of that he was by far most dominant player, and if you exclude last Kobe Bryant game when he scored 81 but that was more like an all star game than serious competitive game, there aren't many games in which players scored more in modern times. Beside Booker scoring 70 and Jordan 69, all others scored maybe few more points in the last 30-40 years. I do agree with the other part of the post, it is nice to see Curry back, and therefore Warriors. If Thompson didn't get injured yet again, they would be formidable force this season, but without him even playoff would be success and then whatever happens, happens. |

As long as large investors buy, the price can only go up, and the question is whether at some point the price will become too high for them? I don't think that will be the case, because they have a huge amount of money and it won't be a problem for them to pay a price several times higher to get what they want.
I think that's exactly when we can expect crash, when large investors decide that price is too high for them so they dump the price in order to buy cheaper BTC from weak hands and those short term speculators/gamblers that are just into this for a quick profit. Though I don't expect crashes as big as before as market is more mature and stable than before ( at least I like to think that) due different type of investors holding BTC, but it will nevertheless happen occasionally. Not that I am much fussed about it as I also see it only as an opportunity to acquire more BTC. |

Am I reading this the wrong way, or does the graphic show the merit transactions on a certain day, rather than the number of merits from said day?
I think that you are reading merit graphic correctly as it indeed shows merit transactions rather than number of merits, for both Merits received and Merits sent.
@TryNinja I have one question regarding "Posts" tab. Wouldn't it be easier to navigate through boards if they are sorted like on bitcointalk? So Bitcoin Discussion first, then Development & Technical Discussion, Mining etc? Or maybe I am missing something and they are sorted in a specific way? By the way, great update! |

Thanks a lot for your constant effort to keep us updated with charts. Looking forward to December 2020 charts.
No problem, I am glad to hear you find those charts useful. I have no doubts that forum staff knows about your board activity, but sometimes it's not bad to see them in charts and compare to others. Just so you know, December charts are out. Once again Bangladesh board looks pretty decent, with nice amount of posts and merit shared for community without local board and merit source. Who knows, if you you keep it up maybe you get that local board in the end. |

Since I am here, on my meta post apart from the spikes in the Romanian and Spanish boards, I also noticed what I called the “Indonesian Drama”.
The Indonesian board was a prominent force amongst the local boards, then all of a sudden they stopped.
Does someone have a good explain action for this? Why posts and merits got reduced so much on that board?
That is a good question indeed and hopefully someone from Indonesian board can shed some light on the issue. Similar thing is happening with Pilipinas board, another one that used to be very active, both post and merit wise. Regarding Indonesian board post activity, from what I can see on the Merit Dashboard it was heavily dependent on Altcoin section, where big majority of posts were written. With the decline of altcoin market (probably bounties too) their numbers went down. I might be completely wrong though as that's just my guess. Nice local boards statistics and it would be interesting to see percentage change from previous months because I see some big movements.
Bitcoin price change affected some boards more than others and I expected to see different result for Croatian local board.
I was thinking about including that long time ago, but somehow I never went with that. Might include it in the next overview, thanks for reminding me. About numbers of our local board, real ones are much higher, but as I mentioned those new boards messed up the count somehow. Turkish local board is having over 2000 posts more every month... whats up with that?
It is true that Turkish board is experiencing big increase month after month, but then again that's not such a big surprise when you check their post activity in some previous periods when they were even higher. Those big boards have a lot of room for growth, compared to smaller ones. |

I do believe local boards are of utter importance for allowing new users to bitcoin, without the language barrier that can beca too harsh obstacle for many approaching an already difficult subject as bitcoin.
I am with you 100% on this and that was the main reason I started doing these overviews. If we want bitcoin to spread evenly all over the world, it's not enough to just offer content in English, as there are many countries where there is a real need for crypto (e.g countries where people have issues opening something as basic as bank acoount) and what's the best way to understand Bitcoin and everything around it than talking about it in your native language. Anyway, i am glad to hear that others find these charts useful and that I am not making these just for my own sake (even though I wouldn't mind as I am genuinely interested in all this). To be fair with the Romanians, the Spanish local december merit/post should have also been excluded; someone decided to do some reporting in the altcoin boards and ended up getting more than 200 posts deleted, so that does screw the data a bit too much. Still it's great to see how things develop on local boards.
That happens quite often on other boards too, and if I am to exclude all boards where that happens, there wouldn't be many boards left. For example, my local board (Croatian) ratio is realistically at least half of what it says on the chart due us getting few new child boards and topics being moved around that sometimes messes up the post count. Romanian board is a bit specific case as it is different to have ratio 11+ and 1.5. That's why I always mention that those numbers shouldn't be taken too seriously and I included 12 month ratio too, to compensate that a bit. In the end, only those that are active in some board know the real story. |

We are a softfork of a Reflect Finance of cause we have half a technologies the same.
Softfork of Reflect Finance? Now you mention it after you got busted for plagiarizing. Both you and me know that If you weren't called out for plagiarizing you still wouldn't mention that on your website. Luckily, I archived your website before change, so everything is obvious here. Another thing, you say half of the "technologies" are same? Don't be so modest, Operand is 100% copy/paste of reflect Finance and nothing else. Lazy money grab attempt that failed at the most basic stuff. Also take a look closer to reflect finance - they have not white paper and the team asweell. Having not team is a 70% of the tokens of DeFi market. And thats why token true decentralised.
Knowing how lazy and incompetent you are, If Reflect Finance had whitepaper and team, you would most likely copy that too. By the way, I don't say that not having whitepaper and team is a 100% sign of a scam, but when on top of that you add plagiarized content, then it is 101% sign of a scam! |

As always, new month means new overview of the local boards activity, this time for the month of December 2020. Like in all previous overviews, data was taken from @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboard which I suggest you check if you want more in depth overview of your own local board. For the overview of most active users per local board during 2020, I used another great tool, @TryNinja ninjastic.space. I wholeheartedly suggest you check that one too, if you haven't already.
Post activity per local board during December 2020Once again Turkish local board has been the most active one, so last month wasn't just an exception, followed by Russian and German local boards. From what I could see, main reason why Russian board is not dominantly at the top like in all those previous months is due significant decrease in Russian altcoin section activity. Majority of other local boards are keeping decent activity, but it is worth to mention that some of the numbers might be misleading due big amount of moved/deleted posts across several local boards, so they might appear less active than they actually were. To be honest, I expected local boards to be even more active than in previous months due bull market, but I guess effects still haven't kicked in fully.
Merit shared per local board during December 2020Once again there is a change at the top, German board having one of the best months since I am making these overviews, followed closely by Russian local board, with Turkish and Italian ranked 3rd and 4th. It's also nice to see two communities without local board (Bangladesh and Pakistan) having decent merit activity considering total lack (AFAIK) of merit sources that are active in their thread.
Merit senders/receivers per local board during November 2020Pretty straightforward chart in which more merit shared usually means more members involved, with a few standard exceptions.
Merit/Post ratio per local board during December 2020Due high amount of deleted/moved posts in various boards which would affect this chart a lot, I decided to make an exception this month and beside monthly merit/post ratio to include ratio in the last 12 months, to give somewhat clearer picture of the situation. Several boards lack either December or 12 months merit/post ratio, and that is due negative post count during last month or due lack of data for previous months. One exception here is Romanian board which would have more than 11 merit/post ratio during December due many deleted posts which would completely mess up this chart so I decided to exclude their monthly data and share only 12 months value. As always, please don't read too much into this chart as it can be misleading, including 12 months values.
The most active members during 2020 per local boardSo far in all these overviews I never mentioned the members that are keeping their local boards alive and active, but since it's a new year I decided to make an exception and mention the most active members in each local board. Due obvious reasons I can't mention each and every member that was active in local board, so I narrowed it down to ten most active ones, including their post count. I've decided to exclude few dead boards like Hebrew and Skandinavsk from this list. |
