Well, I participated in your bounty program, but it seems that we will not reach a soft cap, which will be a shame to end such a project  |

RocketICO was not succesful, I didn´t receive their tokens, because they did not reach soft-cap.

I do not recommend any hardware or online wallet, because still there is a big risk, that your coins will be stole, buy ledger or trezor and you will be 100% safe  . |

Hello, please how many people are using bitcointalk forum? I have heard that there are registered about 2 million accounts. But probably there are more accounts than real people. I see that there are many junior and newbies accounts, probably they are quite new, so is there any statistics about new members? I think most of them only want to earn here. How many of all members wear signature and are registered in signature campaigns?
I just wondering about the future of this forum, the signature campaigns and the bounties. If everyone will do bounty and signature, then there will be no future, right?
You are right, the number of registered profiles is much higher than actual number of real people behind them. There are many profiles that were banned or there are some profiles belong to one person. I think making money through different campaigns is one of the main targets why people come here, it is somewhere between two other targets: to know more about bitcoin and to sell something through the forum. While the commercial performed by signature/bounty campaigns works and attract investors or users to the product, all this will continue to function as long as demand for such kind of work is going to be on the necessary level. I do not like to talk about far far future, but I expect that signature/bounty campaigns will be trendy for several years more. But I think that it is impossible, there are a lot of ICOs now and people are less interested in investing to the ICOs. |

Nice graph, it is yours? So almost everyone wear signature, because they are paid for posting here, nothing bad, but mabye because this fact new merit system was implemented...
Yes, graph is mine based on data no order that two weeks (plenty more if you look through my post history if you enjoy stats). It is interesting and I even gave it a go at trying to figure out which signature campaigns had most users currently, but since each rank level has a different physical signature it’s hell trying to group them together properly by campaign. Merit system requirements are indeed in my opinion correlated to this: signature campaigns require users to post around 15 to 20 post per week. That is a lot of posting and many people tend(ed) to post anything/anywhere to comply. Merit system’s objective is to allow compliance whilst not posting too much crap in the process. Yeah, but I think that it's a little bit unfair, those who were active in the past and received their rank earlier. |

It is a good graph. However, it should be noted that this is everyone with a signature, not everyone with a paid signature.
Also 'paid' is a bit subjective. I often put an affiliate link in my sig. I do this for hosting, domain registrars or domain sales sites. Obviously I hope to profit from this. I often include domain names that I want to sell, or my sites that I may want to promote. A signature is quite useful for me, but I don't have any pressures to display it. And how many members clicked on your advertisement? Worth it? Because I think that many people don´t read what you have in your signature space. |

Now there are massive blocking of Twitter accounts.
Most often, block accounts when you to use mass-following. Blocks is forever!
Also do not use hashtags #ICO #Cryptocurrency etc
Be careful!
Thank you for that information! Where did read this information? Could we trust you? Because many twitter campaigns want to include hashtag #ICO in tweets. |

I live in Ukraine, there is no any lows for crypto, but I think I have to pay taxis any way, and they are 18% presents from income, so I decided it is too much, and not paying.
And how are you doing? Every transaction is written in the blockchain, so if they know your address, it is pretty easy for them. |

 The above the amount of users that are involved in a sMerit Transaction (*) by Rank, and how many of them have a signature in their profile. Signature is not always equivalent to signature campaign, since we can put whatever we please on the signature field in our profile. For example, the Administrators have a bitcoin address (theymos) and links to certain bitcoin forum sections (Cyrus). Also many newbies have a personal frase and not a signature campaign, as do others. Nevertheless, it's a good indicator to the amount of active users (*) that participate in a signature campaign: around 71% Note: (*) Users considered in this stat are those that either act as a sender or receiver of sMerit Nice graph, it is yours? So almost everyone wear signature, because they are paid for posting here, nothing bad, but mabye because this fact new merit system was implemented... |

Do you think that there will be any update of the merit system? Or is there any possibility that merit system will be deleted?
I think the first is unlikely and the second is extremely unlikely. The system seems to be working as intended and other than continuing to add merit sources I don't expect to see any changes. So, I had to be more active in the past, my fail. Hope that in future wont be hard to get merit, I see many threads where people asking for merit, because they think that they are posting good content.. |

I realize that I can be a dick...well, you may not like the style in which I make my points (as I said, I am not here to make friends)....but it seems no one made ANY effort to refute my points...I was just told over and over that I wouldn't be getting merit because of my attitude...nothing at all to do with the validity of my ideas (which proved my point)...the bottom line is that we now have a system than can easily be abused and is SANCTIONED by the powers that be...as I said before, there is way too much merit being given out simply for discussing merit...not one of you replied to my question about the user who received over 100 merit in 60 days simply by posting positive crap about the merit system...and for those of you who say I wont be getting any merit...what is to stop me from opening a new account...going to the merit-related threads...and posting kiss-ass comments about the merit system??...I will be a full member by the end of summer...easy...and what makes you think that the sock puppets have not already figured that out??
I know how you feel, I think that are more people with same opinion. I dont want to ask someone for merit, that I have posted real good posts... |

There are currently: 1993947 users registered here.
I'd suggest that's probably about 100000-200000 people (as one user probably has an average of 10-20 alts I'd reckon based on what I've witnessed here).
I assume the majority have used their signature for something. At least half will be in some sort of signature/bounty campaign I assume.
There will now be a greater amount of Jr Members and Newbies that are just stuck where they are (if they write bad posts then they won't get any merit and won't be able to go up in rank).
Signature campaigns are quite a good way at keeping good quality posters at the forum, but if campaign managers don't moderate it too well, this is where the massive amount of spam comes from as users get free money for writing useless posts.
There are already fewer signature campaigns for newbie and Jr members, however, bounty campaigns still include them sometimes so that might lead to a larger amount of spam. There are more veteran members who spam but they usually care more about their accounts than a brand new member will as a brand new member can just ditch their account.
Wow, it is real that every person has an average of 10 accounts? It is not against the rules? They are using their multi accounts only for signature campaigns right? I assume that's going to be what the figure is approximately. And not all alts are used for signature campaigns. Some will use them for other things (in historical cases here, users like QuickSeller have been known to self-escrow with several alt accounts). There are people who will also build up accounts to sell them. Some account farmers in poorer countries may have 100+ accounts that they keep farming and do it as a job to get them all to a higher level (or they would have done until these limits of merit came into force). There are also bounty campaigns that people might participate in where they could produce 1000 accounts just to post on that one bounty thread and get the earnings from it. I've noticed in the marketplace, for example, people are buyind bulk facebook accounts from other peope or buying "Friends"/"Followers" that look as if they're legitimate (with a real name and some other info filled). And there are no rules agaisnt owning multiple accounts. No rules agaisnt selling them either... Yeah, I read the rules and there is nothing about multi accounts and account selling, but I see there are many red tagged users here. Why they receive negative trust even though it is not against the rules? For signature campaigns these red tagged accounts are useless. Red tags means they have negative trust. Those who recieved negative trust did something wrong or they just negative trust him/her for no reason. Negative trust serves as a warning to other users and those who had negative trust revenge on other users or negative trust you for no reason. My friend did recieved a negative trust for no reason and he did nothing wrong. Yeah, when it is not moderated, there is nothing what he can do, and I think that is bad. Negative trust should receive only scammers, because when you receive you can see this in your profile: Warning: Trade with extreme caution! |

Merit is probably good decision, because there are a lot of new members here, who want only earn here, but I think that required merit is pretty high.
Well there are some people who think that the merit required to rank up is low and need to be higher. For me, the required merit to rank up for each rank is okay, you can attain it if you are worthy enough mate. Learn and contribute, then you may find it is not pretty high. Well, I see you are tryharder, you are very good at gaining merit, but there aren´t many people like you. They are here to spend free time and don´t want to stress with merit. No offense |
