From biological point or..?

From biological, just as every other animal: procreate. From every other point, that's up for debate.

Not really, was just going through my old wallets, checked their [ANN] post here but couldn't really find anything. Thank tho.


What? I meant, I couldn't even send it to other wallet or anything haha.

I was going through my old wallets and managed to find 5.000 PCL, is it still active? I can't seem to "sell" it on Blockchain.info.

Heyy! Recently I've started doing some graphic designs from promo posts, facebook cover, catalogs,etc.. and I've decided to post here as well. These are some of my recent ones, most are on serbian but you can find a couple of english as well.

I usually charge around 10-15$ depending on how complicated the design is. Will post as well since I'm planing on going for signature and avatar design as well. Cheers!

Feedback welcome!

p.s. I have no clue what's going on with the formatting...

Selling 5000PCL, worth 70$ on Blockchain, for 55$ in ETH or BCH.

ALT: Since I'm not using that wallet anymore, and need money urgently for college expenses, I might as well sell it entirely so that's an option as well. Since I'm not sure if i can send PCL because transactions are paid in ETH and I have >1$ in ETH in that wallet.

For anyone interested, please contant me via pm here.

  So basically I'm down the pipes and not really seeing any happy time or ending whatsoever. I've applied for over 30 jobs and I'm on like the government thing for job seeking. Got only one reply back from all those job ads and that government thing found me absolutely nothing in the past 3 months and now I really don't know what to do. Because of my abundance of free time I've created a CV of a person who's 25, motivated, has 8yrs of experience, finished college with highest marks,etc,etc... and been sending that one as well. Got a few calls back and the only thing I've asked them is why do they thing that someone with this CV would be working on a cash register or on a assembly track.

  I do have work experience, worked for a bailiff as an administrator and IT support, car wash/parts sales as online sales and marketing and IT partially (keeping the database and website up and running),etc.. Can't even continue with school (IT and programming) because I have no income and can't pay for the year.

  On the bright side, I do have a business I want to start, everything's basically finished but I can't have any customers to pay because it's not registered as a company, but to do that I need money and to get money I need a job but apparently I can't get one or any for some reason. Also to get a start-up credit at a bank or a government fund for development I need to have a registered firm and then we go again in circle. So what should I do now?

  Should I start selling *stuff*? open an OnlyFans as a guy selling feet pics? I do want a job and to work, but apparently I need to be a whole IT department or have 6 hands and be Khronos.

  Literally any advice is appreciated, because I'm all out of ideas or will.

I know about that website, but was looking for some first-hand experiences with pool mining alt-coins without a rig or a miner. Wouldn't be doing it as a job, jsut as a passive hobby and interest. Thanks tho.

I've tried joining a few pools for mining doge (back in the day when it came out) and a few more coins, and was thinking now to get back into all of that, but is it worth doing it without any crazy gear or miners?

I'd be joining some pool, letting the miner run in the background at about 20-30% depending if I'm doing anything slightly demanding.

Are you by any chance over 40?

So I was looking at some memes and one image popped up (not the same website tho) and I let out a little chuckle. Are they getting really scared after the whole GME and Dogecoin thing?

Didn't want to post an image, not sure what are the rules about this here but wanted to share regardless.

Was this the only thing he did wrong tho? just one account of plagiarism or was there more?

Not to sound like a dick but "university expenses increase during the pandemic", aren't classes like online? Sorry to hear that, dude, but you might want to find something else. Maybe apply for writing articles of something? I did a few myself on IT and made quite a few $$$.

Off topic tho, seeing people from US saying they're still paying off their student loans is really weird to me, like if you're a good student here you're basically getting anything for free and if you have above 9 average grade, you get paid ~200$ monthly. haha

Well only one of your upvotes on one post would be worth about 0.01mrt, so you'd have to upvote one user 100 times in order to give him one merit, therefore much more people would have to agree with the post being good or helpful or whatever, therefore that post would get at least merit partially since there's a chance like this that it wouldn't get merited. We all know what's the definition of merit, and a lot of people finding a post useful or helpful or informative is enough to be at least acknowledged.

btw I did acknowledge that there are a lot of high ranking users from the time before merit system.

wow an actual argument haha

Merit would essentially have the same value, you'd still need 300 merit to rank up to senior mrmber, or whatever the needed amount is, but you'd just be getting some on the side. You could still merit someone just like right now, but you could also be getting small fractions on votes, yeah? So it's just the "bitcoin faucet" of merit and it will still point out good posts and point the direction of posting for some. Tho I still think that there should be a penalty for having lots of downvotes.

"There are many legendary or higher account members who have so many merits, and a minority of them have many alt accounts as well, don't you think it will really be much easier for them to rank up their own alts than how a normal newbie would struggle against? "

Well you could use the same argument for how it works now, so not much of an argument tbh.

Only one time I've seen someone merit 50mrt is to theymos on his merit post. hahaha

But yeah, I get what you're aiming at.

Wouldn't it create similar problem with reddit where people upvote because they agree with someone and early poster have more advantage?
[/quote]

Yeah, I was thinking about that, but it giving out small fractions it wouldn't make that much of a problem at all. it could be like 0.0001mrt per like or something. So even if one person gets bombarded with upvotes and get's 1000thumbs up, he'd still get 1 merit. The intention wasn't that it should be direct replacement of merit or the solo way of getting merrited, but just something that everyone can do quickly and potentially reward people even with the couple merits  in the long run.


Please read my post again and check the meta board for the "This shitty Merit System has ruined Bitcointalk and made it like Facebook" thread.




Yeah, now that It's settled, I can think of some improvements and see some mistakes. haha
Yeah, I really don't like upvotes and downvotes and downvotes downranking someone seems like a bit too much when I think about it right now. 
It could have a nice indicator of a bad post tbh. I've noticed that a good majority of the people here don't read the post or don't understand it and give a totally wrong answer, so that might be a bad thing in discussions (luckily discussions here don't get heated enough unless it's something on politics board hahaha), but still a good thing to point out unnecessary posts and I can surely find one that would fit my standards.

So then they'd have to constantly downvote me on almost every post, and if you were to check the history, you'd see that it very much looks like I'm getting targeted even tho my posts might not be deserving of that mass downvoting. So once again, it can be detected very easily and it would require them a lot of work to target some guy and downvote him.

What's stopping some high ranking member to leave a negative trust and say something like:" excessive spamming" or something like that without the ref post or any proof. Same thing would happen, as in your suggestion.



Ok then, let's say you don't lose merit but get your post deleted after you've reached a certain number of downvotes? It's faster to click one button and move on from that sihtpost, since other people might agree as well and will do the same, essentially removing the process of reporting the post and mods looking over it. I can only imagine how many reports per day they receive.



Why do I have a feeling that people here are scared of speaking about merit system? No one's going to lynch you for it, it's a forum, not a circlejerk bon fire.

I know, my dude, that "hahaha" at the end was an implication of a joke. :d

yeah, I meant something like this:
Just a random board I've found right now. What kind of a post is this? IMO this is absolutely not needed and serves absolutely no purpose yet it's not deleted. :/ ya know? That kind of posts.


Yes, but it's easier to trade merit since you can give some guy a bulk of it for some shitpost or spread it out evenly and it can pass as a genuine merit giving, but if you see someone constantly upvoting one user every day in order to trade merit, it's a lot more obvious.

Well you know, they might be a little bit less knowledgeable on some particular topic but would give them a right path to go on. But it doesn't have to be a discussion, it can be a simple answer or how to solve some problem that might help someone else that has the same problem and that way it can tell everyone else that it helped him as well. Something like that.



Well yeah, I've had in mind of keeping the current merit system as much as possible, just added some minor details that would overall change quite something.

Also, you're somewhat arguing with me like I want to change the current system, I'm just interested in ideas. What would you like to see changed or would like to see in the future? I'm not here to argue if it's right or not.

So i was going through that "This shitty Merit System has ruined Bitcointalk and made it like Facebook" thread and it actually made me think  about this whole merit thing." Mostly because of that thread and this post kind of snowballed into what it is.

p.s. as I've said, I just like thinking about improving stuff. You should see my shoes, my shoe soles are partially filled with "liquid metal" (that super strong glue that's used to glue metal objects) because they were too soft and a small hole started to appear where my heels are hahaha

Love it how admin says "Do not beg for merit excessively.". So it's ok to beg for it from time to time? hahaha

 







So i was going through that "This shitty Merit System has ruined Bitcointalk and made it like Facebook" thread and it actually made me think  about this whole merit thing.

Ok, so the whole point of the merit system is to stop spammers and shitposters from flooding the forum and bring forth the more sensible   people, yeah?

Well since most of the people either don't have merit or simply never think about it (I completely forget about the whole merit thing even  when I come across a good post) and then you get dedicated people as merit sources and threads that ask for good posts to merit them,  doesn't really sound like a master plan. Easy and reliable? Sure, but it's not intuitive tbf.

There's nothing more that I hate than upvotes and downvotes, why? Well because the whole place becomes an echochamber (reddit) and no discussion can be had whatsoever. You disagree with someone popular or say something controversial you'll just get bombed with downvotes and that's it.

Tho I think that the combination of those two can make something good, something that most people are used to already by now.
 
 

Something like this:
 
 

1. You have " + " and " - " on every post. If you're in the " + " zone it shows the green number of upvotes next to it, if you're in the " - " zone you have a red number next to it.
 

2. Every upvote gives you a small amount in the background depending on that users rank. So if a user that's member upvotes you, you get like 0.01 merit or something, but if a hero member upvotes you, you get like 0.15merit or something like that.
 

3. Downvoting would be a little different. Since there are probably a lot of people that are higher ranks from before the merit system, it wouldn't be that great to give them that much power to shut someone down, so let's say that there would be a threshold where when you get enough of the downvotes you lose merit (maybe something like 0.5) but if you get downvoted by a legendary or some other higher rank, you'd lose merit when you get downvoted regardless of the amount of downvotes you have or do not have.

So if someone posts something really useless or copy/pasta reply, he can get downvoted enough not to lose merit but to think about what's he posting next time. Like a small slap on the wrist.
 


4. That would essentially eliminate merit trading because they'd have to upvote every post of the person they want to send merit to and when someone's constantly upvoting someone even if the posts are useless, it might raise some red flags.
 

5. It's easier to look for answers if you need any, among the sea of basic replies, when there's a big green number sticking out to point it out to you.
 

6. Merit would still have it's purpose since you still couldn't rank up without enough merit and you'll still have to write sensible posts if you plan on ranking up maybe and those who are shitposting would either stop it or lose merit and rank if possible.



CONCLUSION:
 
IMO this would benefit more to the weeding out spammers and copy/pasters and reward good posts regardless of rank. Everyone loves when they're rewarded for doing something good, even if that's just a bunch of green plus signs and numbers, it's still confidence boosting and a pointer.

As I've already said merit would still serve it's purpose, those on the top could still reward each other with merit like right now (it's a joke lol), of pointing out who's posts are good and who's advises or opinions are more than educated guesses or hearsay.

I'm still seeing same old copy/paste posts everywhere, especially in economy and bitcoin general rooms, and something like that would gradually kick out spammers and reward good posts.


This is just something that I thought about just because I love thinking about how we could improve on every day basic life things that we rarely ever think about, if it's possible, and thinking how I could solve something or make it better.

Would you add something or maybe have a whole different idea? I'd love to hear thoughts on this and other "solutions" just for the sake of looking at a problem from different angles and getting a different approach on problems overall.
