Oh, people are still complaining about Merit system?
I can agree that now it's more difficult to rank up, but who said that it should be easy? Some people are buying Merits, but they are risking to get red trust rating, also I suspect that it would be every expensive to buy enough Merits to reach high rank. And these who are selling their sMerit sooner or later will run out of it.
I noticed that amounts of Merit that people are sending are getting smaller. It's most likely that they spent all their sMerit that their had. Maybe others are just become lazy to spend their sMerit.
And another thing - I saw stats somewhere that huge number of forum users still haven't sent any of their sMerit, I don't know, maybe they are still not aware about Merit system. If people would use their sMerit more actively we would see less people complaining that's too difficult to get Merit.
Merit system isn't perfect, but it's one of the best thing happened to Bitcointalk in recent years. It can be improved somehow, but I don't have ideas how. 

Faucets aren't bullshit. You hardly can earn much from faucets, but still, it's free money and you don't need to have specific knowledge to earn. Personally, I think that faucets are better than airdrops, because it's small, but guaranteed money. While from airdrops sometimes you can get just some worthless tokens which will be never listed on exchange.
Nowadays mostly people are saying that faucets are waste of time. They said same thing 4, 3 or 2 years ago. I can't agree. If you know how to get referrals and you decide to hodl your earnings, it may became worth your time. From my personal experience I can say that I earned from faucets more than from signature campaign for example.

When signing up on bitcointalk and other forums users are requested to create username, they don't need to reveal their name and surname. Username by itself can't be fake.
Mostly people here prefer to stay anonymous here and don't reveal their real identity. Personally, I don't see any reasons why I would need to use my name and surname on Bitcointalk.
But there are more or less users who are posting here with their real names, well, that's their choice.

For me it's very annoying to see so many topics about bounties, airdrops and similar altcoin related stuff in Beginners & help board, but I think this board fits best to make such threads. It doesn't belongs to Bitcoin board, it's under word "Other". It's something similar like we are allowed to talk about altcoins in Serious discussion board which is located bellow Beginners and help board.

Please read more carefully what OP are asking for. He are wearing signature code given by his signature campaign, but he want to create custom signature for his own needs.
OP, I recommend to follow tutorials which was posted by TryNinja. If you still don't know how to create signatures, you can hire a designer at Services board.

Huge win by Barca against Villarreal 5:1. Iniesta showing masterclass in his last matches in Barca. Dembele scored 2 goals in the end of match. 2 games for Barca remaining this season - away vs Levante and against Sociedad at home - it's very likely that they finnish season undefeated.
While Real Madrid are loosing against Sevilla 0:2 (5 minutes until end of match). But they are playing without almost all their main players. It's very important win for Sevilla to secure their place in Europa league qualification.

If you participate in 30 social media bounties at the same time, it's likely that your Twitter/FB will be suspended for spamming or at least you will be asked to verify your identity. I'm not bounty hunter, so I can't give100% accurate answers but I'm sure that mostluy of bonty hunters have at least few social accounts. But you should know that social networks become very strictly about crypto related stuff, especially affiliate links and bounties.

Just read the first post of this topic, there you will find tutorial how to sign a message on almost all wallets which allows to do that. Link that you posted is just a tool to verify signed messages.

Yeah, he made some bad decisions in World Cup 2014, but it was already quite long time ago. After that he worked well in Euro 2016, he also was appointed to World Cup 2018. And actually, we hardly can referee who didn't made any contraversial decisions and Mazic isn't exeption. Well, I would prefer too see Felix Brych, Cuneyt Cakir or Bjorn Kuipers appointed for UCL final, but I don't see serious reason to complain about referee before the game.

I'm on the same boat as you guys.  I have old Moonbitcoin account with Bitcoin address which was created few years ago, I have lot of referrals on that account and I always received weekly payouts until 25th of March. Unfortunately, I can't link this account with my Coinpot account - it's impossible to sign a message from Coinbase address and I also can't make deposit from.
I suspect that Coinpot owner silently decided to silently remove option to get weekly payouts for users who are claiming with Bitcoin address and force to create Coinpot account. I noticed that few days ago message "Weekly payment run completed" which was shown at the top of the page was removed from all Moon faucets. And maybe it's not related, but Facebook page of Moon Bitcoin disappeared recently. It sucks that we can't get answer from Coinpot owner what's going on... I'm realky worried.

I heard many stories about advertisements of phishing wallets shown in Google Search results. And I noticed that it become common to advertise phishing web wallets for coins like TRX, ADA, XLM, EOS and others. Many people don't know wallets for these coins, so after making Google search for wallets for these coins they just visit first website that they see in search results.
But soon these advertisements of phishing websites will disappear - Google will ban crypto related advertisements on June.

I never hear about such thing as USD IBAN. As I know, USA doesn't participate in IBAN. You can get IBAN for EUR and some other currencies.
As I know Mistertango still didn't implemented new fees. And if you use Mistertango only to receive and send EUR, you need to use standard plan which is free.

LOL, stop crying, dude. Poor Real Madrid played against 12 players of Barca... C'mon, man, referee was awful yesterday, he made many mistakes and none of these teams can be happy about it. Yes, Suarez fouled against Varane, I agree. Also, Alba fouled against Marcelo and referee had to give penalty. But why did you forgot to mention that Bale had to get red card??? After Roberto got red card, Real had 45 minutes to win match while have one player advantage on the pitch.
And in general, Spanish referees are terrible, and it's getting worse each year...

I guess it's bots. I don't any reasons why real users would need to join old closed bounties.

Good advices, but sadly we can't be 100% safe on bitcointalk.
You said that hacker can edit or delete staked Bitcoin address. Yes, he can. But if you will post Bitcoin address with signed on that thread, other users will quote your post for verification. If hacker will edit or delete your post, quoted post will still remain. Additional, you can save that post on websites like archive.is.
Hiding email from public souns like a good idea, but I can't do that because I keep it in public as my contact email.
Also, I can add few more suggestions. First - secure your email with strong unique password and 2FA.
And avoid phishing websites. Never enter your login details on websites other than bitcointalk.org.

It's not surprise that's down, OP created topic almost 7 years ago,lol.
Was it necessary to bump very old topic with not related reply?

Hot El Clasico, as always. But referee was biggest star of the game - he lost control of match by making lot of wrong decisions. In first half Bale had to get red card. In attack where Messi scored, Suarez fouled against Varane. And Alba fouled against Marcelo and it has to be penalty. And there was more smaller mistakes by referee. Well, few weeks ago I said that Hernandez Hernandez aren't ghe best choice for El Clasico.
But score 2:2 is quite fair imo. Barca can be happy about result playing with 10 players in 2nd half, their series without defeats continues.

Same for me. I claiming from Freedoge.co.in all day long without any issues.

I also would recommend to use WebMoney because you can exchange your money to BTC. But verification proccess can be difficult, when I tried to verify my identity some their pages wasn't in English, luckily I understand Russian. And btw OP, which currency do you have on that game? If it's not BTC you have to create WMR (ruble) or WMZ (dollar) purse and only then exchange it to WMX.
You also can try Payeer.
I believe that Qiwi and Yandex Money don't have other withdrawal methods than bank account.

It's El Clasico and should expect a lot of action, despite that Barcaare champions already. Barca want to finnish season in La Liga unbeaten and also dedicate win to Iniesta who will play last his El Clasico tonight. I expect that Real will play main squad because they have enough time for recovery before UCL final. And obviously, they want to break series of Barcelona matches without defeats.
In recent years Real playing El Clasico matches at Camp Nou much better than at home. Last time when Barca won against Real at home was in 2015 only.
And refusal to give a guard of honour isn't a nice gesture by Real Madrid. I know that their ambitions were hurt, but it's old tradition to show respect to champions. In past we saw pasillo in El Clasico matches.
