It works but on extreme cases of network overload (like for the past few months), might take a while for a transactions with a low fee to get included in a block that they mine (since they prioritize transactions based on their fees). For a bit of network congestion, they can still be somehow useful.
I've successfully accelerated transactions with fees as low as 1.5 sat/B (in the past).

Same can be said regarding ViaBTC's paid option (they give prices based on the transaction size itself, not its value).

You can either directly hire a campaign/bounty manager and let them do the rest or you can try websites like BountyHive.

It's just another form of promoting the project.

Instead of those, simply use the recommended fee and you wouldn't have to worry about those.

---

In cases of network congestion, you can use the following website:

1. Antpool tx accelerator

2. ViaBTC tx accelerator - Also has a paid option.

It is but not at the moment (due to lack of having enough vendors and also those that you cited).

I wouldn't completely rule them out since they're starting to improve (addition of altcoin payments) a bit (even if it's a small step), although there's still the issue of ease of use and lack of mobile support and etc...

---

On a side note: They're not promoting it very well (haven't seen any significant effort in recent months in regards to this) and as result, they suffer to have a high usage too.

Then what will be the point of having DT1/2 members?

That helps them more, instead of destroying their chances of scamming someone. Nothing will stop them from creating a false image, that makes them to appear trustworthy to "Newbies" (regarding your suggestion).

Bad suggestion.

I have to partially disagree on this. I find it quite useful for finding threads that need to be reported (not that much recently but still has its purpose).
- Having said that, I prefer if there was an option for enabling/disabling it (like for "Patrol" link) on "Forum Profile Information" page.

Ignoring certain boards that contain useless/uninteresting threads, is the key (after modifying the "Ignore Boards Preferences", you'll find "Show unread posts since last visit." option to be "less annoying".

Having a new "ignore" option for viewing threads on "Show unread posts since last visit." page, can come in handy.

Not sure if your account was nuked or not. It appears to have "0" post/activity (nissa1987).
You're better off using your newly created account (unless your after accessing PM's from your first account).

Yes, read this sticky thread.

---

On a side note: This thread belongs to "Meta".

You're welcome.

At the moment, there's no issue regarding confirmation of BTCitcoin transactions but in moments of having heavy network loads (huge backlog), Ethereum could be a worthy option.

---

1. Shifty Button - Best payment gateway out there (covers a lot of altcoins), although not sure how hard the implementation process is (for your "in-app purchase platform").

---

Other choices:

2. BitPay
3. Blockonomics
4. CoinGate
5. CoinPayments

Agreed to what "krishnaverma" posted (regarding #1,2 and 3) but I also support the implementation of a demerit system (as long as it's given to moderators and staff [only]).

That would depend on if certain users post worthless content (normal or high quality posters won't/shouldn't be affected by this).

---

On a side note: Regarding the title "The Merit System is a huge success", I think it's too early to judge a system that was introduced recently (less than a month).

Then you'll be using the merit system for the wrong reason (liking or agreeing to a post, is completely different to giving a small reward [in form of merits] to a high quality post):

To break it down for you (a simple scenario):

"User A", likes  or agrees to a post (made by "user B") and the content of that post was "I think you should wear a green shirt instead".
Clearly that posts doesn't deserve a merit (since it isn't a high quality post), therefore "liking" it would be the appropriate thing instead (if there was a like button).

I confirm receiving this weeks (my 9th week) payout, Thanks to DarkStar_ and ChipMixer

Merit stats are getting interesting...

I like the idea but highly doubt that it gets implemented. There's a simple fix in regards to seeing the latest topics first:

There is but you shouldn't completely rely on it (according to them, it reduces 50% of the work for managers): 🔥AUTOMATION for BOUNTY managers (FB,Twitter,Telegram) and PORTAL for hunters🔥

Due to your current rank (Newbie), you're limited in so many ways:

Upon reaching higher ranks, the following thread will come in handy (in order to create your own signatures): [LEARN] BBCode Lessons & Tutorials [+tutorial videos!]

Usually it's the other way around. You use the signature of the project > Apply and if you get accepted, you'll see your name on the spreadsheet > Then you're considered a campaign participant of that project.

Sure. Apart from your list, the following should be included as well:

1. Master key
2. Proof-of-stake
3. Node
4. RFID
5. Supply chain management
6. ERC20 token
7. Off-chain
8. Segwit
9. Lighting network
10. Cross-chain atomic swaps
11. ASIC resistant
12. Proof-of-Work
13. API
14. Smart contracts
15. CoinJoin protocol
16. PPC
17. SHA256D
18. Quantum Resistance
19. Hierarchical Deterministic (HD) wallet
20. I2P
21. Multisig

Take note: Just finished updating it but make sure to double check (in case I missed some).

In addition to what "MadGamer" stated, if you're a "well known person" within the community and ask nicely (with a valid reason) then you might get it as well (last person that got a custom title [through a request]).

It isn't mandatory (just because someone has a certain position within the community).

Since you're aiming to provide noob-friendly information, then I suggest to add a feature that upon hovering on some of the keywords, it gives a brief information regarding each of those words (so users won't be forced to search for those in external sites).
- A lot of words fall on that category (not that noob-friendly).

1. Have the ability to add (to the list) and delete (from the list) coins.
2. Be able to change the order of the list (based on "Price" and etc...)

I like how clicking a coin, gives you the different prices from different exchanges (hope to see the data being fetched from more exchanges).
