Can someone really get 1 merit per day easily? It seems like a rather difficult goal. I've perviewed many threads on here and rarely do I see the green italics above a post denoting someone was merited. The system has only been in place for 44 days and there are hundreds of members that have received more than 44 merits so obviously, that is true. Oh, what? I had no idea the system was only in place for 44 days... That's amazing. From the way everyone is reacting, I had thought it had been around since last year or something. This is good news. That means the system is still tweakable. I do honestly believe that we'll see a change in the ranking system such that Jr. Members will have a merit requirement. In fact, I'm almost certain.

Quote from: TheQuin on March 13, 2018, 07:01:29 AM Having spent far too much time reading about merits lately I've noticed a tendency towards suggesting changes that would benefit the person suggesting them rather than benefit the forum overall. Now I'm going to have to try very hard not to argue against change for self interest. If the merit system hadn't been introduced I would automatically have become a Hero tomorrow, but that doesn't bother me at all. Whether anyone believes me or not, I really don't care what my rank is. The reason I disagree is that I believe the intention of the system is to block the spammers from ranking up and not to cause an obstacle to anyone using the forum as intended. The average of 1 merit a day requirement to keep within the existing activity based schedule seems well chosen to achieve that goal. Now that the initial distribution of sMerit has dried up it has become impossible for shitposters to ever achieve Hero or above (Sr. is probably also beyond their grasp). Anyone who is here for the right reasons should easily outstrip the 1/day requirement and not be affected by it at all. Your suggestion is rather to change the ranking system to mark out exceptional posters (like yourself). Now that is not a bad objective per se, but not what Merit was meant to be the solution to. It is actually very easy to spot the exceptional posters simply by looking at the actual number of merit they have been awarded. I know this has already been suggested elsewhere but I'd go along with the introduction of a new beyond Legendary rank. That would indeed mark out the exceptional members and also give the existing Legendaries something to aim for.

Wish they had a list of attendees so we know if notable devs from top coins are coming :/. I get that you guys are going, so that should be enough I see that it's only like 3hours long... That's weird. Most devcons are like from 9 to 5. But I'm glad the admissions is free. And there's a max 200 people going... so should be really fun! Yes， we already invite some notables from top coins ， and they will share some information about blockchain and artificial intelligence。 Because we have to make a long story short，so we cant waste too much time ,all the information will be very useful and pivotal . Welcome you to come and join our meeting. Sounds very exciting! Who have you invited? And which notables replied and said they would attend? this is good info to know!

The majority controls bitcoin. It's a decentralized coin... but it's majority rule. Miners in China could control bitcoin if they invest enough to become the majority. It's already sort of happened before.

I was recently watching Cloverfield. It's a good take on the horrors we may face if crypto mining becomes so lucrative it affects the global warming problem. It might even cause you to turn your mining rigs off lol. I think we should really strive to make solar energy a number one source... Sun pours on earth every single day, and there are so many square inches of vast fields with no solar panels.... Wind energy too. Wind & Sun farms let's go!

Why did you start this new thread when you could use the search function to see there's like 3 other threads with almost a similar title with "Bitcoin will be dead? " or some shit like that... Anyway, bitcoin can't die. It will always have a place in crypto. It's constantly integrating technologies from other cryptos... so if you think about it, other cryptos are like the soldiers, dying and fighting with their new tech -- doing all the hard work. Bitcoin is there just to pick and choose which tech works and integrating it.

It's because they ask for the wallet address in the bounty instructions. They usually say, if you want to apply then state your member name, rank, and then eth address. And that's why people put their addresses... it's part of the application.
