Thank you everyone for the supportive replies and encouragement, I can't reply every post but still you should understand I did read all replys and I'm happy with the feedbacks so far. Thank you.

Thanks for the motivation, I'll keep trying in the best way I can then it's left for the meriters to merit my posts if they find it worthy. still have three 2019 on/off forum goals i need to work on so fingers cross I can achieve them all and hopefully more additional goals.

Lol, I'm usually refered to as Brainboss, always loved entrepreneurs & desired to be one someday, I don't hesitate to speak about that desire so it has been associated with my nickname by my friends after I began promoting blockchain/cryptocurrency related stuff and since then I have been tagged with the Crypto word sometimes I get called CryptoBrainboss or CryptopreneurBrainboss. I'm getting used to it. Tried changing my name once on the forum but that didn't work out since there isn't an option for that so I'm cool with the username.

Sorry I'm late to the discussion haven't visited the board for sometime now, The Nigeria National team disappointed us by loosing that last group stage match therefore paying Cameron is a perfect punishment. Don't that we're scared of them but they're a very strong side that shouldn't be taken for granted also if we do beat them (fingers cross) we have Egypt next which is another favorite for winning the cup but still hoping the men can replicate the success of our women team. Picking Nigeria to win the trophy but if Egypt beats us I'll immediately shift my support to them to win it all. Mo salah needs more trophy so he can make us proud internationally.

Just to clear you, the offenses that will result to a temporary or permanent ban are very clear that means no one except yourself can get you banned. Having an argument with another user or use of insulting words won't get you banned although they're not welcomed on the forum. Do as @o_e_l_e_o has suggested and you'll be just fine. I can see you're not familiar with forum rules take sometime to familiarize yourself with them so you won't misinterpret them.

Wow it has been an interesting journey and fruitful mid-year, starter this year by ranking up from member rank to Full member (January) and now I just achieved the Hero member status (July). Sorry if you consider this type of posts not necessary but where I'm from, we were taught (in koffee's voice) that gratitude is a must & as I grew up with that mindset it has helped me alot even during difficult times as just a heartfelt thank you has given me more favors than I ever imagined. I remember when I was a full member needing around +/- 30 merits to rank up I recieved simultaneously merit from a source and out of joy I thanked him, the next day more sources awarded my quality post merits which ranked me up. Don't know if it was a mere coincidence or merit sources just doing their thing but still it was an experience that motivated me into putting in more effort into adding to my knowledge and contributing in the little way I could to interesting and quality discussion and so far my efforts has been rewarded.

I must say, you won't understand the work inwhich these sources (especially those with more responsibility due to the large number of monthly allocations) put into searching for merit worthy post as they have to read through bunch of spams just to find worthy posts, you won't understand their selfless act, volunteering their time to contribute to the affair of the forum until you experience it yourself.  We don't appreciate these guys enough so i just wanted to let everyone part of the system that keeps the forum active, from the admin to moderators to recovery team to DT members to merit sources to quality campaign managers down to decent forum users, that your work is been appreciated and you should keep up the good work.

This was meant to be a self congratulating post but instead I want to congratulate all those that made this journey successful, thank you all especially my biggest merit fans. I'll continue contributing in the best way I can.

OP for future campaigns you might want to read this thread before joining one; [Guide] Factors to consider before joining paid signature campaigns. Now to your question, the reason most campaigns don't accept post made in the politics and society board is because members who post in that boards or visit that board to read topics aren't their targeted audience. Also the board has less traffic compared to other highly visited boards like Bitcoin/Altcoin discussion. For other boards, high rate of spam could be a reason why post aren't counted but in the case of politics and society it isn't since the spam rate in the board is minimum compared to other boards posts are accepted from e.g Bitcoin discussion board etc

Concerning your not been able to to contribute to thread, just skip or try reading the replies from other users, if you do so you might have some additional useful information to add to the reply, correct mistakes etc also when you encounter a topic you have no idea about, it isn't a must to contribute, try searching on the topic, get to understand it because it's a knowledge gained which might be useful later as must times similar (sometimes exact) topic repeat themselves on forum, then you can contribute meaningfully from your understanding. if you still feel you want to contribute to that particular thread after researching on the topic, try not to copy and paste instead contribution from your understanding and add a link to source of information.

This shouldn't be a beginner & help board issue, take it somewhere else beside we have members of those two countries that you listed above who are doing just great. There isn't any reason to give out your nationality but when you do, defend it the best way you can as you become an ambassador of your country in the forum. You get treated the way you present yourself.

Make yourself useless, if you want to be considered useful. Haven't seen any form of racism in the forum from the average or reputed users expect few trolls who attack through replies or feedback for situation one has no control over (e g originating from a 3rd world country). But still the forum is enjoyable and gives everyone equal opportunity.

Managers still use that? Occasionally, the submitted numbers don't correspond to your post as the post numbers can easily changes when posts before yours get deleted. That bounty manager asking for your application post number needs to upgrade his data collection method, asking for a link should work just fine.

There are some signs you should look at for before joining any campaigns to avoid issue, I guess this has to be one. This must be an inexperienced manager.

After reading @o_e_l_e_o replies I must say if Zimbabwe government were wise, accepting bitcoin as their country's Currency could be a starting ground for solving the country's problem as bitcoin can't be affected by inflation. Country's like these are perfect example of why bitcoin is the solution to the worlds currency inflation problem. After doing so, then the government can shift thier focus to developing the countries economy and fighting corruption to better the country. The US Dollars is been given too much power and as far smaller country still look up to the USD to determine the value of their currency the rate of inflation of those currency will continue increasing.

Our local Naira is been affected yearly by inflation too currently it's been exchanged around $1 = N350 +/- that's why most genuine Nigerians are getting attracted to bitcoin as for every $1 gained we get around 350 +/- naira.  Which means we get twice profit, one for holding bitcoin (Price increase) and second for exchanging USD to Naira

Inquiry: Any interest in giving out loans in ETH anything soon? My usual ETH lender @DireWolfM14 is temporary unavailable and I would had love to take a loan for trading but the movement of bitcoin price is scaring me off taking loan in BTC lol

These are just assumption from OP point of view and since they don't have backing there isn't anything worth taking seriously.  From his post history, this thread of his might be as a result of his earlier post about blacklisted yobit spammers not getting accepting into current campaign therefore they're no longer actively posting on the forum so he thinks they're all alts (nothing new there).

Also if I understood the other side of this thread correctly he's trying to say those dormant accounts were used to vote DT members into power. If my interpretation of his thread is correct then he need some lecturing on how voting into DT system works.

You don't need any more explanation, go back to those threads (guidelines) you claim to have read and re-read them until you understand better what merits are all about and how to get them because what you'll still get here are repeats of what the guidelines you earlier read were taking about. You get merits mainly by contributing positively and nothing more.

FAQ: Everything you need to know about forum 'activity, account ranks and merit.
Ranking up is Possible! My top 11 Hints!


All posts can get merited as far they're merit worthy.

Swap like swapping of blockchain e.g from ETH to EOS or to mainnet, it simply means the cryptocurrency is migrating from one blockchain to another (most times from a third party blockchain to their very own blockchain).

The correct/perfect answer has to come from the project in questions but most time it has to do with taking advantage of the additional features the new blockchain they intend swapping to has to offends and also to take advantage of the hype associate with the new blockchain e.g Binance chain for publicity.


They get the advantage/disadvantage associated with the new third party blockchain or their native blockchain (mainnet). For advantage, e.g for tokens swapping to Binance chain they get listed on Binance decentralized exchange and the possibility of getting listed on Binance centralized exchange increases. For tokens swapping to Ethereum blockchain they get the advantage of listing on Ethereum based decentralized exchange which means they get listed on more exchanges.

For disadvantage, token swapping from Ethereum blockchain can no longer be tradable on Ethereum based decentralized exchanges like IDEX etc or used on the Ethereum network. The disadvantage or advantage are associated with the blockchains involved in the swapping process.

You should note though, when projects swap from third party blockchain (e.g eth blockchain) to their native blockchain (mainnet) it's to continue development of the token to bring about mass adoption.

You should note though you can still achieve your desire goals without having to be a data analyser or scam buster like everyone thinks to receive merits to get you to your desire rank. Sure doing so might get you their faster but just by contributing positively through quality conversation can still earned you some decent amount of merit to rank you up. Set goals, write them down and follow them up one step at a time, first try to rank up to jnr member, next set a target to member, full member etc until you reach your desire rank. The whole idea of the merit system was to reward quality posts so do just that (contribute positively) and you'll earn yourself some merits.

Although my case isn't newbie related, I did rank up from member now handing to hero which is somehow on the same level with newbie (just 10merit difference) since we all started on the forum as newbies and did all these while having fun and following up my set goals. Therefore you can achieve whatever you set your mind for, don't forget to improve your knowledge along the journey, very important.

It surprises me that you have signature ads on block when you're in one yourself, sound's funny to me. Normally when forum members come out to declare they have the signature or avatar feature disabled, they usually aren't participants of the system (signature campaign). I mean what's the profit in not giving others the opportunity to sell their product to you when you do sell your to them in the same manner (signature space). No offense, just need charity from your angle.

This is just a troll, the user is just searching for attention and his post history says it all. His choice of username is one of those reason I doubt he has any intention of contributing positively to the forum. Normally when users choose specific type of username it's because they have intentions to troll the forum, in this case panting the country in his username more bad.

He's just a spammer and now wants to be paid to spam through yobit signature with higher account which is why I'm strongly against the yobit signature not just because of the exchange shady behaviors but because of their poor management skills, employing spammers to spam the forum just for the sake of promoting their exchange.

Thanks for the loan, will need more when you do resume lending and hoping bitcoin won't short my gains

The only reason those two users and many more qualified members haven't been appointed is because theymos (forum in general) haven't seen any need for more sources at the moment. The suggestion isn't that bad but like others have said, it's too complex and considering the trust system haven't had much impact in regards to forum users customizing their trust list don't think the merit system will be any different.

Have you notice, it's easier to be a DT member if you're actively contributing positively to your local baord same fate might befall the merit system if your suggestion is implemented which doesn't seem right as more sources will be centralized to the local boards will might result to abuse. Not saying the local boards don't deserve source but giving them too much might be too much responsible.

I beg to differ, what I understand by a stressful job is that, you're not comfortable with the job either because the pay is low for the work you put in or you don't like the job at all which technically means it's a wrong career choice for you. I mean one can only be stressed when he/she isn't been appreciated or doesn't like what he's doing and if you don't like your work then it's a wrong career. (my opinion).

Also I don't put much emphasis on college degree because they're becoming irrelevant these days. Read an article once about Google now employing for skills and not just college degree which sooner or later that's what most firms/companies will be doing.

Not against schooling although I'm against the way the current ones are been operated. Schools just program you to be a poppet of the government. Since you're writing about careers put some emphasis on skills because it give you an advantage over others with just college degree.

Just do what Jet cash said. This practice of dictatorship by big centralized social media firms aren't anything new and Facebook aren't the only ones doing so. Google has also been accused of the same act. They try to intimidate any competitors that's how they stay in power that's why I advocate for decentralized social media platforms.

On the other hand the rate at which crypto scam have been associate with ads from media platforms like Facebook has been alarming especially as newbie put their trust on this platforms by investing in programs they advertise such as scam ICO, Ponzi scheme etc so their decision on investigating more on Crypto related ads before they approved them is understandable if that's what they're actually doing and not the other way round (eliminating competition).

Topic 3 was Satoshi's proof of authentication, containing his address, image, private key and real name. Find the post somehow and you'll be the one to solve the mystery of Satoshi's whereabout.
