I can do this for you. Escrow burden of the collateral is on you to decide, I have no problem with having escrow with aTriz or Lauda.

Let me know.

If they farm to member and so on, they will gradually run out of the sMerits. All such farmed accounts at one time will run out of the sMerits thus there will be a time in future when this forum will have some Merit sources as the only people who would be able to give merits to others.

Thats pretty effective in my opinion.

Some people may consider one post as constructive while others may not. Its their personal opinion obviously. Obvious random merit - if you feel its questionable then you can report them here. Be sure to explain why you believe that it is abuse of the merit system.

That guy is copy-pasting the same thread text into every post. The only way to combat this is to report the posts with the "nuke" as a comment for the moderators. They are already busy with the shitposting cleanup of this forum and hence they need some time to check everything before nuking the said account.

When you see such activity in future no need to make a thread about it. Simply report a single post as I said. Thats also what I do whenever I see such filth.

LOL accepting children in gambling? Seriously I dont buy it dude. Thats too unrealistic if not totally false. There are strict rules in physical casinos. Again in online casinos everybody can sign up - but that also true in porn sites because teens lie about their age there as well.

Now considering the fact the governments in many countries are bullshit and not willing to regulate anything lets keep regulation out of the picture. The cops are more willing to let the casinos be as they are and accepting bribes everywhere on a monthly basis or so.

People do end up making many friends in casinos. After all casinos are public places and often like minds meet there and they do like each other's company. Though in any physical casino its better to keep to yourself because you never know who is having what idea in mind. There many be robbers and scammers hiding behind nice looking faces that includes the women too.

Even if they get addicted to gambling some people never stop gambling. Its just their addiction.

Rather there are many scammers on youtube promoting them via their referral links. If you go to any shitcoin pumper on youtube you will see their referral links everywhere and many of the were associated with bitconnect. Their job is to get people into the coin and  then act like a scapegoat in front of the followers when questioned about their loss once the site shuts down. Pretty nice way to act innocent and clear your name. After all the amount of brainwashing these scumbags do on youtube twitter and reddit is enough to keep the trust of their followers steel strong.

I dont understand why people have to be so lazy and not do any research before investing.

See for altcoin mining there are the different protocols that support a specific coins or a group of coins. Mining them might be worth it if you think they are going to boom in future. You can always buy a GPU and mine ethereum with it or ethereum classic because both run the ethhash protocol. However keep in mind the power costs, pool costs and cooling costs.

For bitcoin mining though its almost impossible to get a good ROI in the current scenario. We dont have huge amount of land to make mining farm nor do we have enough rigs to get a decent ROI in a limited amount of time.

Means every two minutes of your online time you are going to visit your profile page on bitcointalk to check how many new merit points you have got?

And if you dont get merited on the second post?
Let me be clear here because I dont want to sound like a troll.

I can understand the situation the newbies and junior members are into because of the merit system. But that does not mean you will stop contributing to the forum.

The forum is for people to ask questions and learn about the crypto world. It is not supposed to be a rank-up warzone to get into high paying signature campaigns. So keep it to that.

If you have something to contribute then do so. Otherwise dont come to this forum.

If you secure your wallet properly then the chances of theft are minimized. Not completely gone but minimized. Again if you are careful with what stuff you use on computer and the devices and how you maintain your computer security then you should be good. I would suggest a hardware wallet to use in case you feel that your computer may not be secure enough.

Fluctuations can be handled easily if you dont panic sell and hold during that period. Don even visit the reddit or twitter pages because those are filled with shills. Stay away from the exchange during days of red and stockup on other coins.

At this stage its pure speculation and it will remain speculation later on as well. People dont want their coins to lose their value so they are pumping it every where they can and hence this thread. Let it touch 50k USD who cares? We simply make money with it.


The price spike in 2017 later months may be considered as "unhealthy" in my opinon because there was a lot of positive FUD going on and we were not actually aware of what was going to happen. However market is stable now and such chances are low that 50k usd is going to be touched.

Again altcoins will never beat bitcoin. Take that for granted.

I read the OP title and I was like - Yeah and the Job is the signature campaigns - right?

Because thats what 99% of the people in this forum are obsessed about. Getting paid from signature campaigns and not giving a shit about the discussions on the forum.

---

No its not a "Promotion" - I feel sick to even think of it like that. Only idiots like the OP can do so along with the shitposter mobgang. Merit is awarded to posts which are of quality and add to the discussions. Probably this is the nth time I have to repeat this in another "Merit in the title" thread and I am sure this is not going to be the last one.

What is the source of this? Is the source credible enough? If not then this is simply another targeted FUD on this thread trying to pump litecoin. I ahve heard of litepay and I would say as long as bitcoin remains the biggest source of buying litecoin, litecoin will remain a second to bitcoin.

Now I know a bunch of shitposters (read brain-dead shills  ) will disagree and cuss me for saying this but its the truth which will obviously hurt and make you want to slit my throat but believe me its the truth and the last words.

@OP I would like to see the source of this news that eBay x Litecoin happy ending is happening  LOL - Pics or it didnt happen 

I agree with your first point. However one who is willing to invest in something like crypto should know the risks associated with the market. Now if you go the news and read them - there will be so much FUD around crypto that you will start lose your mind and would never invest in it.

Its better to do some research on crypto before investing. Even people can take advantage of the bull-run if they know what they are doing and thus end up making some money. I would suggest people to stock up on good coins when market is low even if it means putting in more money - because they will rise in future. However that does not mean that every coin out there is worth investing - do your analysis and research.

That is not a scam per se. Actually every gamble is a risk and people are aware of the risk before they set their bet. That is again unbiased by the provably fair system. Any player who loses money by betting cannot call the casino a scam because they risked their money and thus they are responsible for their loss and not the casino. Moreover you cannot sue the casino because they have ToS which is blindly accepted by the player before playing any game that will always save them from litigation.

Joining bitcoin investment is a wrong way to put it. Rather more people are investing in bitcoin and crypto for future returns. Bitcoin is not a bandwagon on which people can jump and earn money right away. The way of earning money by investing into bitcoin is by trading it and selling it from time to time when pumps happen above the buying price. The way you speak is making bitcoin look like a sell-out and a outright ponzi-like scheme.


This stability did break a bit during the last weekend. I am hoping more trading chances will happen this week.

100USD in this market is not a very big amount considering the current market price of bitcoin. However for the altcoins it might be worth it. If you ask about bitcoin then I would suggest a minimum if 1000$ into bitcoin at 80-85k $ mark and sell at anything above 12k $ mark.


If you are poor why are you even investing in bitcoin? Crypto is a risky place to invest in and thus you should focus on earning money rather than investing.  Extra funds you have should be stored for future use and not just invest. Rather extra funds should be kept for any emergency.

Again holding bitcoin for long has no good effect. Its better to sell at high and then buy more at the dip.

There is exactly "zero" problem with the merit system. The problem is rooted to the users who shitpost to get paid. Only those people are the ones complaining about not getting merit.

People can apply as merit sources too. I am sure some people in your community might be willing to become a merit source. Theymos has made it public how to apply as merit source - maybe you did not read it yet.

If you dont like the system, then please leave the forum. Or better make your own forum - what I have suggest several time to many shitposters. The problem is they never listen to this idea.
So I guess its clear to you that you need to up-your-game? You need to learn how to make constructive posts and not shitpost in order to get merit.

One of the reasons merit system was made for was to stop the non-sense idiot garbage vomitposts done by people in this forum. This is simply an indirect proof that its working as it was supposed to work.

Actually the "dip" has ended long back now. Bitcoin is now trading at around 9900USD and rallying between 8k and 10k USD. I dont understand why you believe 2018 to be a luck year while the Q4 of 2017 was actually the lucky (if you say so) part of the year.

Lightning Network is the next step after segwit if I am correct. It will reduce fees even more and thus the number of unconfirmed transactions will reduce. Lets see how that influences the market.

I would advice you all to stop reading the reddit channels on bitcoin and crypto. They are full of shills and idiots who are into their own gains trying to pump every other shitcoin. Rumors are spread from there to all other social media platforms. They tend to bend the minds of the new people who are getting into crypto and drag their money to the wrong place.


What benefits are you going to get? I see this point being reiterated several times by shitposters. There is no benefit of buying btc - other than raising the price and trading profits when you sell.

These were all scams or disguised ponzi/HYIP/MLM schemes. Everyone who invested early and got out early made some profits. There have been many youtubers who promoted them simply to drag newbies as their referrals into them as well. Those people are the lowest level of scum in this universe.

Anyway invest in these at your own risk. None of them are legit lending platforms.
