Guess it's time to welcome Xal0lex to the 2000 Merit club 3338 Merits collected from this post only just today at the time of writing this ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) Already refunded those sMerits. Sadly, we ran out of our stock of zero items. So everyone gets a full refund: +----------------------+-------+ | user | merit | +----------------------+-------+ | 3meek | 1 | | abhiseshakana | 1 | | abhiseshakana | 4 | | Alex_Sr | 1 | | Anduck | 1 | | andulolika | 1 | | andulolika | 20 | | Anon11073 | 10 | | Anon11073 | 40 | | Apriand | 25 | | BayAreaCoins | 142 | | be.open | 1 | | bill gator | 1 | | bitbollo | 1 | | BitCryptex | 1 | | BitMaxz | 3 | | bL4nkcode | 1 | | bubbalex | 1 | | Carrelmae10 | 1 | | charlie137 | 4 | | cissrawk | 5 | | corather | 1 | | Crypto-DesignService | 1 | | cryptovigi | 1 | | DarkStar_ | 1 | | DarkStar_ | 100 | | DarkStar_ | 200 | | dbshck | 200 | | DdmrDdmr | 2 | | digit | 1 | | digit | 1 | | DireWolfM14 | 2 | | DoublerHunter | 2 | | e1ghtSpace | 1 | | eckmar | 2 | | eddie13 | 25 | | Eugen225 | 1 | | Flying Hellfish | 100 | | Flying Hellfish | 50 | | FontSeli | 1 | | Foxpup | 200 | | FractalUniverse | 2 | | free-bit.co.in | 1 | | Gren | 1 | | hakka | 1 | | hatshepsut93 | 1 | | Hhampuz | 19 | | HI-TEC99 | 1 | | iasenko | 1 | | icopress | 1 | | Isildur (official) | 1 | | izanagi narukami | 1 | | kazuki.t | 1 | | kingcolex | 25 | | klarki | 25 | | Lassie | 1 | | lottery248 | 100 | | LoyceV | 2 | | lulucrypto | 1 | | malevolent | 201 | | ManagerVirta | 1 | | markiz73 | 1 | | Matt9301 | 1 | | micgoossens | 1 | | Mitchell | 251 | | mitzie | 1 | | mOgliE | 1 | | mprep | 200 | | Mr. Big | 10 | | Nestade | 1 | | NeuroticFish | 1 | | NeuroticFish | 1 | | nubbins7 | 10 | | OgNasty | 50 | | pawanjain | 1 | | poordeveloper | 3 | | PrimeNumber7 | 1 | | Quickseller | 1 | | radjie | 2 | | Raja_MBZ | 1 | | RapTarX | 1 | | reddish111 | 1 | | roslinpl | 1 | | roycilik | 1 | | saharovvv | 26 | | SaltySpitoon | 350 | | sapta | 100 | | Scheede | 1 | | shasan | 1 | | sheenshane | 1 | | slashz9 | 1 | | Smiley Cyrus | 700 | | Steamtyme | 1 | | suchmoon | 1 | | suchmoon | 8 | | teeGUMES | 1 | | teeGUMES | 4 | | teeGUMES | 1 | | teeGUMES | 8 | | TotSamiy | 1 | | TryNinja | 1 | | vapourminer | 1 | | VoskCoin | 1 | | Whitly | 26 | | yogg | 5 | +----------------------+-------+

Campaigns paid in bitcoin has good things for both participants in particular, and for the forum in general.
For the forum's benefits: Btc-paid campaigns are competitive ones, so only constructive users can join. At least they have to satisfy minimum earned merits to apply. After get acceptance, they have to keep their post quality at high, or at least at acceptable level. If they don't keep their post quality at acceptable level, managers will kicked them out.
For participants' benefits: Such campaigns help them to maintain the post quality level, or improve it considerable. In long term, it will help them to get merits, and rank up.

- New rank requirements implement and all users will be resetted their ranks. - Ranks will be only determined by activites that in turn only count for posts in the child board, Bounties (Altcoins)- Users who don't have a single post in Bounties (Altcoins) will be demoted to Brandnew. - Merits will have only one use case, to buy bitcointalk souvenirs.

What I expect for the next one in 2020 is announcement from theymos that he will shut the forum down, and won't move to Epochtalk or anywhere else. However, I think it is very soon to discuss about the event that might occur next year. theymos might not do anything next year, but I don't know and I don't have enough experience in the forum (just more than one year). I only experienced two April Fool Jokes (in 2018 and this year).

Personally, topic sentence is the most important thing that posters should keep in minds whenever they start writing down a post. Long or shot, it does not matter because each person has special way to express their ideas via writing them down. It's personal style, however writers should follow some fundmental things: (1) Coherence (2) Cohesion (3) They should write the topic sentence for their post first, especially if they have intention to write medium or long discussion with their posts. From topic sentence, they can easily expand their ideas. Topic sentence is very important to help readers catch the main ideas of writers. They can catch it at the first sentences of posts (usually the first to third sentences).

It is enclosed in a water resistant steel housing and has been reported to work when sending bitcoins while free diving on the coasts of Spain. Time to get serious now so I will stop with the jokes.
Good time to stop because theymos refunded to all users who sent smerits to souvenir shops for their orders yesterday. It's time to lock the topic to avoid spammers joined and get their post quota.

Good campaigns managed by good managers are usually not a first come first serve campaign. So, such lazy bounty hunters do non-sense applications. They act fast with their applications, but managers might just glance at those applications in mili seconds, and nothing more.

What if the real joke is the Merit system? Theymos has been planning this day since January 2018, and tomorrow the entire Merit system will be reset ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) All back to 0 again ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Merit, KYC will dissapear, but we will see Karma. All of us will have bitcointalk karma, that is main reason we have been here, mostly due to Karma.
In the opposite side, I don't see such huge merit circulated today is merit abusements. I think it is merit destroy. There are so many users hoarded their merits for more than one year, then today, they decided to destroy them all. It's what we waited for more than one year, and finally they have great opportunity to destroy their merits.

Dogecoin is pumping again ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Up 17% in the last hour lol ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.gyazo.com%2F7146f5f13888d98bf1fd121ae39eea65.png&t=663&c=VWXZsdZ6klBG8A) Forget it, the rise, the volume increase today are all fake ones. It comes from the April Fool, and not real ones. Tomorrow, few hours from now, when you wake up, you will see Dogecoin come back to its start today. Do you believe me at it? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Thermos is kind of hardware wallet is what I see theymos disclosed in his KYC image. The Thermos hardware wallet has water-resistant charateristic, which is much better than waterlogs. But, I still wonder how deep the Thermos wallet can be able to works fine before destroyed or damaged by water pressure?

Yes, that topic is an outlier and should be excluded. After excluding all merit circulated in that topic, especially OP, total merit circulation in the forum today till now is nearly normal (based on your given statistics). In my analysis, the median of intraday merit is 626, so it is normal to see small rises of intraday merits for today to 700 or 800 in total. Outlier only occur if total intraday merit for today surpass 11xx merits after excluding merit circulated in the Souvenir topic. Let's see. So far, today there have been just over 350 sMerits awarded (going over the recent stats) (1) Potential outliers are days that have intraday total merits beyond 164 or 1118; (2) Median of intraday merits over the period is 626; (3) 50% of observed days have their intra-day merits range from 521 to 760 (the interquartile range);
Nope, he might be excluded from merit source list tomorrow. Only XalOleX will received such deMerits from theymos 😂😂😂

Mostly happened in the Souvenir topic, so it's very easy for theymos to do reversion tomorrow. Yeah, it is concentrated in the OP, no where else in that topic. Personally, I think it is a good indicator that theymos might do this is most of big merit senders in that OP are merit sources, or staffs. Did you pay you attention on such free indicator?

theymos is the only one know what will happen next few hours. He might snitch all our KYC verifications and run away or maintain as what we saw today. You know it's not gonna happen. You are taking it seriously
Be happy with your April fool identification. Mine is worse LOL
It is not too bad, fella. You have hidden well in the shadow, unfortunately today with KYC, I known that you are merit beggar. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)
Personally, I wish that I will get glitched tomorrow with my KYC verification.

Most of us thought that the KYC requirements today is April Fool, but I have my own different thought. I know that it sounds very crazy, but who knows and admin has never been a boring guy. He actually made us surprised in January last year, with merit system. What will happen for us if tomorrow all badges of ranks and all rank tittles dissaprear, then all of those ones will be replaced by tittles (maybe with new collection of badges for KYC tittles)? Someone collected more than 40 KYC verification tittles. 1) Human ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FHJ9Uupy.png&t=663&c=wXTnosoOLoqS_Q) 2) Drama generator

If staff can add new type of badge for the Souvenir shop, it will be great. In the souvenirs shop, I would like to buy this one, the Ban Hammer Badge. Perma banned users might love such Ban Hammer Badge. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FFjOqyWd.jpg&t=663&c=PgKMCgKnhajdtw) The ban hammer badge for someone who got bans as one of tools to remind them about their past sweet memory in the forum, before the day they woke up and got banned.
