There's no denying the fact the merit create some limitations.

However, barriers are only in the mind, like it is in life; what some sees as barrier is what others take as challenge to achieve the impossible. Btw, there is no rule, law or regulation that will favor all, just take National laws as a case study.

Form what I've learnt so far, the merit system still remains the best solution so far (at the moment), except of course you have a better solution, in which case, you can please share and it might just be adopted if, it's better and fool proof.

Seconded

Plus, make the search button your best friend.

And ready through these threads with an open mind;

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3376729.0

Please, what are are trading signals, how do they work and are there real trading signals? Someone said all are pump & dump game, how true is that?

Thanks for sharing, I did find them interesting and especially a reference when introducing Bitcoins to some people/newbies.

I was thinking in this line, however HitBTC is the worst example to judge this fact. Listing on HitBTC seems to always create dump rather than pump.

I think you missed the point, the forum is all about discussion which is communication; you'll not be communicating if other receivers can't make a meaning of what you are saying. Ordinarily, you will usually be merited by people who can make a meaning of whatever you posted. And since the language for the general (non-local) BTT boards is English, it should follow (as expected) that most people in the general language boards are English speakers, and can only fully make a meaning of what you're saying when the English is well conducted (quality English, in TMAN words). It might not guarantee you getting merits but definitely increase the chances, which I believe should be the target of anyone hoping to receive merits.


For instance; I know the above is only a typo, but on a closer look, it doesn't take away the fact that, the simple 'e' letter typo can make the statement confusing to someone; who will have to guess the point you are trying to make.

I very much agree with this and this a very important tip, this is very common these days and I'v seen it played out over and over again in the last few months. The reason this year.

More important is that a project/token that checks well against all other analysis factors could still encounter this problem.

I don't want to mention names but for example I missed a token pre-sale recently and while I was mulling over the miss, I became aware (from the telegram group) of it selling far less that the pre-ico price and the community was angry, those that bought during the pre-sale were bitterly complaining and couldn't understand while the Team decided to make the token available on DEX instead of Top Exchanges promised. So, it lost its short to mid-longtem prospect, though the project is still a very viable long-term project with solid foundation and unique idea.

To add to all the advice above;

Make the search button your best friend, I believe someone must have asked or posted about whatever you want help with.
Also, always try to be as specific as possible and give as much detail as possible when you're asking for help.
It'll help you to get the most relevant answers.

Welcome and all the best!

In this case copy the destination you sent to right from the ethplorer.io page and use the same ethplorer to check this destination address to be sure of the balance, if ethplorer show the destination address's expected balance correctly, then you have to carefully compare it to the address you are checking on your MetaMask, also like @mithrim said you might need to check your MetaMask correctly to see if you have more than one address there and switch to the correct one that correspond to the destination address you saw on the ethplorer.io

For me, it's simple;
There is a saying that;when you help enough people get what they are looking for, you'll find what you are looking for along the way.

* Be yourself, do your thing and have fun
* Let your mindset and motive be genuinely that of helping people and being another great forum member
* Think longterm, don't be preoccupied with short-time.
* Be friendly, act as if you are in an offline community

I was glad to have come across TMAN' guide, and having had the right mindset; I got 3 merits in my first active week with just about 20+ posts.
The last thing on my mind was merits, but it was a delightful surprise to see those merits, and as you can see I'm still a newbie...lol

My point is; if are a newbie, please drop the ego and listen to the words of advice. Let's join the Hero's to sanitize the forum and the $$ follow eventually and definitely.




What makes a post "highly quality, make sense, helpful, etc" is relative and subjective, and trying to define it will only create unending, never conclusive discussion.

Seconded

Thanks for this, was beginning to wonder what's going on!

As a newbie myself I think the temptation of wanting to move up in status as soon you join, is always very powerful (something many newbie are unable to tame), therefore the effort and the time it takes to read the rules and use the search button, instead being fun becomes an overwhelming tedious task.

If only many of my fellow newbies can take to your advise, and also realise that; anything that will succeed and last long takes effort, time and patience, like the saying "slow and steady wins the race".

Another, crucial things is the mindset.

Many newbie were introduce to this forum by someone/others who have largely corrupt their minds  with idea that BitcoinTalkForum is a money minting machine and once you join you just start minting money, unfortunately many newbie will require a change of perception and will need to relearn.

But, luckily for many newbie who will take the time and effort to learn and grow, we have people like @TMAN, @Jet Cash and many other who are always ready to both guide and support you to go through your days of humble beginning meritoriously.

Thanks for the great advise, they're right on point. I wish every newbie will following your advice.

Great concept and interesting project, definitely joining the bounty.

Really damn low

Hope so too

Will do

I get it now, thanks.


At least for now, it is the right time to really market the A2A ICO, except of course A2A ICO outcome doesn't really matter much to the Success of Stex. 

It definitely will; a colleague of mine who's a serial ICO investor told me few days ago that he's only invested in just 2 projects in the last 2/3 months because he doesn't consider most of the projects he's reviewed over this period worthwhile the risk at this period (referring to the bearish market).


And don't forget too that the good thing about competition is whatever feature SteX will have, if it makes a great sense, the competition too will probably have soon.

This is an interesting project, it's a wonderful idea and something really needed in the current crypto space.
I came across it by accident, But, it really need more publicity, a very good way is well publicised airdrop
and bounty program, if they hope to read the Hardcap (which will be much beneficial because Exchange project
require a lot of investment).

Considering the amount of projects and ICO currently available and launching everyday, investors are overwhelmed
at a time when the market is bearish, investor are hodling position and so have much less liquidity for investment.
If you noticed, some of project have even postpone their crowdsale indefinitely, due to market current condition.
while many closed their crowdsale only surpassing their Softcap but far from their Hardcap.

No matter how great the technology, it will hardly succeed if it the right people don't get to know about the it at the
right time, especially as the competition is very stiff this days.

Btw, haven't hard the time to digest the whitepaper, please what category is the A2A token, utility or security token?

Seconded!

I use MyEtherWallet (MEW), but also Have MetaMask

If I understand you correctly, you are referring from the stage at which the token is already in your wallet, in that case that's very easy.

1. Since the coin is already in your wallet and has been listed on an exchange.
2. You simply transfer the token to your wallet on the exchange
3. If the exchange have a support direct exchange to your desire crypto coin, you just do the exchange directly
4. If the exchange doesn't; then you exchange your current token to Bitcoin and exchange Bitcoin to your desired crypto coin.
5. For example explore https://changelly.com to see how easy it can be.
6. For ERC20 token you can browse through https://idex.market, where you can exchange to Ethereum, then exchange the ETH to your desired crypto coin

All the best.

You usually will keep track of your own activities and give a detailed report of the activities to the bounty manager through the agreed medium, according to the rules and requirements, as convey to you when you joined the bounty program.
