Congratulations to the three participants who ranked up to Sr. Member!
I am one of those three, but unfortunately, after @DireWolfM14 ranked up and took Senior Member slot two or three weeks ago, there is no available slot for that rank. Anyway, there are 5 Full Members (if I remembered well) ranked up after the day they joined the campaign. It means that @Hhampuz actually chose quality participants, and their promotions confirm lots of things.
By the way, today I rechecked the OP, and found this one: It seems that the current rules don't mention about boards/ child boards in which posts will not be counted, like this: *Posts in this thread, off-topic as well as Games & Rounds won't count towards the 20post minimum.
So, I guessed the manager forgot to add that rule. 
Best wishes for all participants, manager, and for the BitBlender project. I hope we can have a year-long campaign.  |

theymos will say:
"I have good news for you all bitcointalkers.
Today, I decided to give away all my donated bitcoin that need ages to hit current amount.
It is a fortune, but I made my decision to give them away, because I will fully live rest of my life as a minimalist.
Anyone have enough trust point, skills, experience, contributions, and been here for ages, please contact me to take over the administrator role from me when accepted.
I will start my new life, without bitcointalk.org, without bitcoin, without crypto, when all these mentioned give-aways finished"

-He renames the place grincointalk.
-He closes meta.
-He charges a fee to have access to the bounties section.
-He makes cryptohunter a global mod.
-He makes Lauda an admin.
-He gives mods access to members ips and asks them to ban all alts.
-He changes the whole rank system and makes it based on merits earned only, which means many high rank members go back to being low rank members.
Lol, he won't do too much works for the April Fool. He might say "Since today, I lose my faith in Bitcoin, I sell all my Bitcoin and will join, and fully work with Bitcoin Cash team to develop it as one of core team members." |

Hi Kakmakar,
Appreciated your good point contributed to my topic, as I saw it shed a light to add new point into the OP.
I will edit OP tomorrow with one additional point on English.
The forum is designed for reading and writing, they are two means for discussions here.
Hence, in general, the ability to join discussion will decrease if users don't have good skills in writing and reading.
I am non-native English speaker, too.
So, your compliments motivate me a lot, but I do know that my English is likey come from third world sometimes.
I can not write perfect English as native English speakers, but at least I tried to sharpen it e ouch to express my ideas, almost exactly what I want to describe.

Another possibility is that the 'plagiarism' post from those high-ranked users are hard to be found (maybe he did that when he's still newbie). But yeah, it's definitely a waste of time when you finally ranked up but then you got banned because plagiarism when you're still Jr. Member.
This is why I wrote 'intentionally or un-intentionally'.Sometimes, we did stupid things un-intentionally when we were noobs due to not know forum rules. Sometimes, we did stupid things but naively thought that we were smart in noobihood or even in higher ranks. |

The txbit exchange has still been in its very early phase. Recent days, the exchange daily volume surpassed 7 BTC in total. Nevertheless, it has bigger potential than that figure shown.
The Solaris team should be more actively in both the ann topic and in the topic of txbit. 24 volume exceeded 7 btc!
Can't wait to see the exchange on Coinmarketcap
It will boost the trading even more

Is it time for me to lock the topic, today? I started the topic, but have not had anything to discuss. Additionally, the case of @nutildah solved long days ago (two weeks ago).  |

just a little thing for Mama Africa The OP tend to make initiatives to bring knowledge, comprehensive discussions on crypto, blockchain, to African. Someday, the Africa Bitcointalk Community, will give honorable award for @CryptopreneurBrainboss for his topic. New crypto comers are easily to fall into thousands of fake news, in-correct information (both unintentionally or intentionally) from senior guys in crypto. Consequently, if the OP really started a formal place in which African crypto enthusiasts can get informative, comprehensive, correct fundamental things in crypto, it will be great. However, there are lots of challenges along the way for sure. |

It is the key point, fella. Avoiding plagiarism does not help you to earn merits, but it do help you to avoid account ban, especially perma ban. And, it makes sense. Why do you have to put massive, continuous efforts over days, months, or years to earn 100, 250, 500, or even higher amount of merits, and finally got perma ban due to some of your posts are plagiarims? It sounds like the stupidiest way to do. This is one of main reasons why we usually see perma bans due to plagiarism on newbies, or lower rank members. Higher rank members known the rules well, and they don't stupid enough to intentionally violate that rule. This portion does not really increase ones chances of ranking up, it only ensures you do not get banned. Following the rules does not earn you merits.

Thanks for your compliments, that give me more motivations, more power to keep going to the next finish line, Hero Member line. First of all congratulations, isn't easy to grow accounts nowadays on the forum, and is great to see how people is really growing. keep moving with the good quality posts that will bring you more merits to grow more, and thanks for the recommendations, all those points are so true!
Exactly! Let's keep reading, learning from stories, merited posts/ topics, and from celebrities in the forum, then growing up. Some day you will reach your finish line (Full Member). Your 5th point is the one I like the most, when we see inspirational stories such as yours, it gives an extra motivation to continue developing oneself, congratulations.

Change the color theme to a garish bright orange-purple-yellow-blue. Anyone who survives through the day is a real BTCNTLK'er.
Which kinds of proof of April Fool Joke survival I should show here? At the start of 1st April, I log in, hang out half of hour, come back to scroll the computer mouse, then hang out again to start new cycle, repeatedly over 24 hours of that day? |

I think it's a great point that you have, but in my opinion, if you are just going to type BCT Forum, it's convenient also to put "this forum" instead of "BCT Forum." That's if you want to use BCT Forum as a word, but using 3 - 4 letters are more comfortable in my opinion and having a standard in the whole forum is just ideal.
I don't think that we have to or should use any of them, BCT, BTT, BTCT, or BCT forum if we have been in the forum, mention about the forum. The abbreviation, if used, only should be used when we are somewhere outside the forum, but want to mention about the bitcointalk forum. |

It's 24 hours, correct. However, make sure to delete your previous bumps once you've made your new one. This is forum etiquette, and helps you keep a cleaner thread anyway!
Are there risks of account ban in case of deleting past posts? I read the list of forum rules and have not seen such a risk, but I am curious to know it. Thank you for your coming reply, @Welsh. |

It should be the best if we mention the forum as bitcointalk, the original, full name of it.
If someone are lazy to type down its full name, and if I have to make a vote, I will choose:
Bitcointalk forum, abbreviated as BCT forum.
I would prefer to spend a second to add the word 'forum' at the end.
In the future, there will be something, digital assets, or sites, or stocks, etc. that have its abbreviation, ticker as BCT, BCTT, BTT, so adding the word 'forum' at the end, after the abbreviation always make sense.
In short, I voted for:
BitCoinTalk forum ~ BCT forum.

I'm really surprised the project doesn't got much attention. I respect all of volunteers who joined the campaign and hope my own work will not stay ignored or unseen to other users of the forum.
It is not strange, fella. Users tend to have more interests and pay more attention on bounty topics, not merit challenge topics, or community topics. It is due the the fact that there are a large proportion of users come there first with intention to earn money, not to get knowledge, technical advice, etc. I opened my merit challenge more than one month ago (five weeks ago), there is very little interests. More than 70 sMerits available to give away (high strict rules) [Members only] |

As you can see above, in my clubs, by now there are outstanding members, @theymos, @LoyceV, and @DdmrDdmr. Both @theymos and @LoyceV have earned more than 2000 merits, they are on top, but I think we should exclude @theymos from the list, that should focus on normal forum members, not admin. Next, @DdmrDdmr have moved fastly and has come very closely to the 2000-earned-merits threshold. They both earned around 2k merits (lower or higher a little bit around one year after merit system activated). Let assume the rate of earned-merits per year is 2k per year. If both @LoyceV and @DdmrDdmr will maintain both their dedication to make contributions for the forum, and keep their good rate to earn merits, they will hit that 10k earned-merits finish line in the next four years (might be sooner or later a little bit).
For someone who hit that line, years from now (LOL), I think they should have a new badge, new name-calling/ rank, such as Myth. |

Received my payments for the Round #8, manager. I wish that I can move up to the group of Senior Members with higher payment rate.  |

This means =
%= 10/660*100= only 1.51% of potential legendaries has ranked up!
It is normal figure, I think. Most of Hero Members (airdropped Hero members) from the old era (before merit system) will not be able to move up to Legendary rank. Over time, we will see the difference in pecentages of Hero Members ranked up to Legendaries between new and old era. Who can rank up with new era, to become Legendary will be different. Of course, there are still Legendaries from old era are outstanding guys in the forum. Over time, the four clubs in my topic will mostly contain totally self-made users (by mentioning totally self-made users, I meant who started from zero to higher ranks) [CLUBS] Top Merited-Users Classified into 4 Clubs |
