I don't have time to check every single profile, but most of members which MalReynolds gave merits have never earned any merit before. And all of them are Russian.

Also, this member receives a total of 9 merits from 2 members which received 10 merits each by MalReynolds, and one merit by amorfuse:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=2008285


When check the profile of amorfuse I can't believe that a trusted member sent him a total of 10 merits for his 2 shitting posts, and perhaps he sent 1 merit each to their alts account:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=2012071

Then I visit to the profile of that trusted member (Asurmen) to see what he did. Here is a result:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=86156

Kuflama received 10 merits from Asurmen and also sent merits to his alts too.

"Junior member", "1 merit", "demoted", etc, will be hot keyword for searching today.
I was a newbie (junior member with 0 merits) not long ago, and feel that to achieve my first merit is not easy before.
Some members wonder why the system change so sudden in today. For more information, you can visit here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5030366.0
The idea of getting 1 merit for being a junior member has contributed a few months ago and now it is approved:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3775593.0

But the thing is, In today when visiting https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=recent I saw many cases which abuse the merit system.

I can find a hundred cases like this. Buying/selling merit seems to be off-forum activities that difficult to handle.

The aim of this campaign is to motivate new member to contribute their thoughts and quality topics/posts. But, I think this is not really effective. The question is "Is this solution enough to limit garbage-posting?"

The reason why I create this topic is most of us buy a coin based on suggestions by someone we not familiar on the Internet or follow the crowd. This is so true with this coin that I’ll point out below:

Dogecoin is created at the end of 2013 based on Litecoin’s codebase with unlimited of total supply. The idea based on a meme with the same name. This coin is just like a joke but made the crypto world crazy through Reddit and social network. This is an example of a coin with no technology behind it whose price is decided by the community’s belief

As I can see, many investors are being panicked at this time. In many cases, they try to HODL their cryptos in hopeless.
I just want to advise you all who still believe and stay in this market. The price that you always check every day at coinmarketcap or other sites like that is nothing. Focus on their value! To find the gems you should research their technology and project progress, etc. There are a thousand cryptos exist but only a few of them have really high value.
Don't regret why you did not know and buy a crypto sooner. Regret why you can not buy this time.

Being a bounty hunter is not an easy work, the most important things which are a minimum required element for bounty hunter is managing your work when doing multi-task or multi-project, time management, communicating with bounty manager.

Here is some example to explain why it’s very important:

• Different from doing a single project, when doing a dozen projects, you need a specific plan: Which tasks you should do first? How to not forget the daily task?..
• Maybe in a first or second week, you have a little bit strange about doing bounty, but from week 3, I make sure that you’ll have a habit to do your work, so if you already have a specific plan, time management is a piece of cake.
• Rules changing is a familiar thing with bounty managers, so you have to check the rules weekly, make sure do not violate the rule in the next week. In case your stakes are missing or you have queries, communicate with them is a key for accurate your tokens after the end of bounty.

As I can see most people can not distinguish which is a cheap or expensive crypto. So, let me explain that:

People always see the price to decide the value of a crypto. For example, cryptocurrencies above 1$ are expensive, below 1$ are cheap.

This understanding is so wrong, when you want to know which is cheap or expensive crypto, simply look at their market cap, the market cap of a crypto is decided by crypto price multiple its circulation supply. The higher supply, the lower price per coin/token, so the price doesn’t matter now, we have to consider the market cap. Tron has 1.3 billions of market cap with its price is 0.02$, it’s expensive for me. Aragon has 28 millions of the total cap with its price is 1$, so Aragon is 46 times cheaper than Tron, Aragon is much more cheaper than Tron.

I see people always confuse about coin and token. So what are these?

Basically, a coin has it own blockchain, we can call it “native currency”. There are 2 kinds of the coin:

• Coins which were built based on an original codebase coin such as Dogecoin, Litecoin,… which based on Bitcoin’s codebase
• Coins which were built on independent blockchain such as Ethereum, ICON,…

Different from coin, token was built on an existence blockchain. There are also 2 kinds of token:

• Utility token which is used for accessing products or services such as Pundi X is used as a payment in their retail system.
• A security token is considered as an investment and complies with SEC such as Polymath is a blockchain protocol that facilitates the issuance and distribution of legally compliant token-based securities.

In some cases, a token can change to coin. This phase we call it “swap” to main-net: EOS and Vechain now has their own blockchain and no longer run on Ethereum Blockchain

Being a bounty hunter like freelancer for me. But it differs in some ways: We can not deal with the project how much will we earn through our work. we can promote a project in 3-6 months but get no money because the project is a scam, soft-cap is not reached. Bounty is still a gold-mine for me, but how can we dig it effectively. Below are some factors that you need to consider when taking part in a bounty.

- A bounty manager with negative trust means he/she did not research or investigate a project that he/she manage, so you have to spend times to research it yourself. Don’t think it wastes your time, I saw many hunter skip this important step.
- A high potential project has an active community on telegram. Before deciding to join in a bounty, don’t forget to check their telegram.
- Is it listed on some ICO review site? Less important factor but it is still a required condition. We can not join a bounty which is not listed in every single review site. It’s risky.
- Update on social media, we need to see they are still working.
- A number of participants who take part in a bounty based on bounty’s reward. Crowded means less reward has high potential, uncrowded means very high risk. It should be on an average to crowded.

Every altcoins regardless of "pump and dump" situation , they do have some reasons .

Example a lot of altcoins at the time of 2013-2014 lose their value highly or altcoins like TRX/XVG pumped strongly and felt .

Do you think it'll happen like dotcom bubble ? Just 5-10% of altcoins will be survived after all ?

Guys , we have to do something .

I see a some posts like giveaway tokens for anyone who do some easy tasks and write their info in google doc form .

This is actually scam . Because they invited them to their airdrop telegram or directly joined in a invited airdrop link .

It's make people who scam get more refferal and they no pay for people who do the tasks as promise .

Anyone have a resolution for that ?

Every time i want to find latest topics , i just know the way checking last comment by people . It takes me to much time .
