I just wonder now when all these new thread keep talking about the demotion will start to wear off, they just keep popping in all shape and forms.
The good thing is that now that the change has been put in place, is going to be relatively easy to tune it up if it's not enough, by raising the minimum amount of merits needed. For the moment we just need to wait and see if there are going to be any results and visible improvements in those sections that become totally unusable.

Are those functions enabled by default or we have to manually enable them? Very useful features btw  Yes, at this moment everything is enabled by default and you receive notifications for all these three cases. As soon as i implement these options you can set it as you like. |

We are up again for another round of testing. I made changes and fixes based on the past feedback. I need still to code some way to allow some changes on what should trigger the notifications and the link of the thread where you get notified. So that if somebody want just to receive them when is explicitly mentioned in a certain way can do so. This will happen through PM, with something like this in the body: link
tagusername:on/off
quote:on/off
plainusername:on/off
I'm looking into adding one alias as well which will work just if is not overlapping with the main username of a registered user already and maybe if it's not too different from the original username. For the moment i will leave the bot up to check if anything else is coming up to be fixed. Next step if everything goes well is to look into a more permanent way to let it run, probably a raspberry pi will do. |

is going to be interesting to see how in the short-medium terms these changes are affecting the number of users registered and the number of messages posted, in particular under the altcoin board. There may be some underground merit market to rank up perhaps, but these are good and needed changes. |

Questo è il thread a cui makkara si riferisce: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5029750.0Penso sia servito a qualcosa visto che theymos si è fatto vivo poco fa con i seguenti cambiamenti: - è stato aggiunto il requisito di avere 1 merit per diventare Jr. Member
- sono state aggiunte 36 nuove merit source, i meriti assegnati passano da 19100 a 23045 per 30 giorni https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=sources
- qualcuno dice che hanno anche aumentato i meriti dati alle merit source in generale
Penso che a questo punto babo sia diventato una merit source Qui il thread originale: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5030366.0Due to excessive garbage-posting, you now need 1 merit to be a Jr Member. All existing Jr Members who didn't meet the requirement were demoted. Also, newbies can no longer set any signature or personal text. Note that this does not affect: - PM rate-limiting, which is based purely on activity & whitelisted status. - "You must wait ___ seconds...", which is based purely on activity & whitelisted status. But it does affect: - Voting in polls - Patroller jurisdiction - The "ignore newbie PMs" option. - "The body is omitted from this email because the sender is a newbie." - BBCode limits - Reduced-accuracy link filtering - Board restrictions Many of these limitations can be eliminated with a copper membership. In particular, you can set a signature at Member level if you wear a copper membership. One reason that I was hesitant to do this before is that there are an awful lot of newbie restrictions, and I don't want the forum to be unwelcoming to good newbies. I'll think about tying some of those to activity instead of rank in the future. With help from DdmrDdmr, I just added 36 new merit sources, which should help newbies achieve the requirement. But if you're incapable of posting anything worthwhile, then you will never rank up, and you shouldn't: this isn't the forum for you. |

Definitely we need more merit.sources so that jr.membera like us will be able to get at least a member rank. It is so hard to rank now because if merit system thus required as to get 10 merits to rank. This task is difficult because i am not good in english at the same time i only post on what i wanted to express here in the forum and not that good poster like others.
More merit sources will meant that more merit is chasing the existing meritable posters. The zero-posters will still be zero-posters,unless they work to imprve their posting of course. That is true, given merits are only given to post which are worth, if there are 100, 1000 or 10000 merit sources there shouldn't be any catastrophic consequences. However you get the big advantage of having more eyes looking around, maybe also on those boards which seems to be lacking merits, those about mining is one i recall for example where mentioned more than once. |

Excluding quotes, I count about 60 MB and 50k+ posts per day on the forum as a whole.
Take this as a ballpark figure, my guess would be the forum take a few times more space than the full Bitcoin Bockchain.
That is quite a lot. Anyway about this problems, for db of this size it's quite common requiring interventions to optimize queries in order to make the most out of it and make things run smoothly. |

If we compare the technological achievements that we have today with those that were twenty or thirty years ago, we will conclude that everything that at one time we thought was superior and irreplaceable has come to fall into absolesence with the passage of the years. Unfortunately I do not think that the case of blockchain technology happens in a different way, and in fact at this very moment we are witnessing the great enthusiasm that cryptology is generating, stretching the technological limits of new cryptocurrencies to levels really unsuspected a few years ago.
This does not mean that the bitcoin as a store of value or as a long term investment ceases to be convenient or loses its usefulness over the years, but in strictly technological terms it is a fact that sooner or later it will be outdated.
I agree with you here and i would like to show this graph to give an idea about the incrising technological advancements  Going back to the question of the op, truth is we cannot know, it depend also from the changes that bitcoin will undergo in the future. |

Of all the large companies that are now large internet players, do anyone particularly scare you in terms of how you data and track could be used? Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, …?
While some people will say Facebook is really scary or other similar companies I disagree because you can avoid using them, it is not like they are forcing you to use their services, I really think that the most scary companies when it comes to the internet are the internet service providers or ISP since they know everything about you and you cannot avoid to have to use one. That is not entirely true, i mean ,the part where you can avoid using facebook. Their widgets are everywhere and can track your activity even if you are not using facebook. For the rest i agrre completely with ISP and add that they can be easily forced by law to reveal the traffic of some individual if needed. |

It would be cool to have something on the line of a newsletter or at least some status update once a month, to have an idea about what is happening, what is being worked on at the moment, issues and ideas. In general anything that is worth to know for the community.
That would be quite a good starting point to address the community for something like iasenko is proposing

There is already a long list of features waiting to be implemented and some of them are quite fundamental for a modern forum. It would be nice peraphs to have this feature implemented, but doesn't add that much value imo, is mainly something for your mental peace. (My) mental peace is important! Well, I looked for that very list, but I failed miserably: do you have a link? Thanks, F1 Here is a list that was put togheter based an all the suggestions that are popping up from time to time. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4893744.msg44062249#msg44062249 |

I believe there should be more merit sources to at least improve the coverage on all boards and lessen the work load for the current merit sources. In this way if somebody is busy for a week or a month there shouldn't be any great impact in the total circulation
Then all the process to select a merit source would need to be simplified and faster, since the way merits are getting assigned are under the eyes of everyone, so there is no chance for funny business.

To do something like that i would rather use vimeo. It's just a better and professional platform for everything that concern company and organizations.
They have also completely different kind of audiences, perhaps the right one for what you are trying to make

You got it wrong. The thread you should send to the bot is a thread where he will post every time you get mentioned. - I create a thread called "Mentions to TryNinja" and link it to the bot. - Every time someone says @TryNinja, the bot quotes the post in the "Mentions to TryNinja" thread. The bot already checks the whole forum by reading every new post created (which are shown in the "recent posts" page). For example, here is Loyce's thread: Are you looking for me?Yes. The thread you put in the PM during the registration is the one where you receive solely the notifications, i may have not wrote it very clearly, i'll make it more explicit peraphs. |

yes those are all the recent changes, i'll be marking them with new in the starting post.
Are there plans to open this up to more than just 1 specific thread, or would that overdo it/defeat the purpose? It's already reading all the messages that gets posted in the forum from here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent , or did you mean something else? |

In effetti sembra essere abbastanza strana come cosa, la transazione non è mai confermata ma sti ~3.7 BTC hanno fatto il giro di parecchi indirizzi. Nessuna delle transazioni è però infatti confermata. Magri qualcuno ha cercato di sfruttare la cosa per qualche truffa? Ho trovato una spiegazione qui: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/65969/invalid-public-key-was-spent-how-was-this-possibleThat address cannot be spent from and any such transaction that spends from it is invalid. However this does not prevent improperly written software from thinking its private key is a valid private and and performing the elliptic curve operations on it. So thus the address was created and a transaction was created that appears valid. But when validating the transaction with proper software, such software rejects it.
This transaction appears on blockchain.info likely because their software is either improperly implemented or simply not validating (or fully validating) transactions. This isn't the first time that's happened though.
