Theymos said it's determined univocally from the user's data at signup, but the computation is a bit convoluted. So, reverse engineering it is unpractical, especially since it would require some corpus of data (user info/legend threshold activity for a sizable number of legendary members), but whoever can read the code knows how it actually works.
In my understanding. this implies that no pseudo-random generator is involved.
"determined from user's data at signup" That seems pretty random, unless it means that we have a quota system? Subsequent behavior seems much more important than whatever was the state of the member's data at sign up... But, hey, maybe I am a skeptic?..... Deterministic, as in "775 + (ASCII checksum of the user's email address mod (1031-775))", or some similar concoction, which is random only for those who don't know the algorithm working behind the scenes. As in Arthur C Clarke's statement about technology, which is indistinguishable from magic if advanced enough. It has been done this way to avoid loading the system too much: no need to scan the user's historical data at regular intervals. This is from the horse's mouth - a horse called theymos, though I don't have the original post handy. Activity points are 1 per week active posting?
That would mean you have been here 18years  It just feels that way Hey... I smell a scam. Let me get this straight. You are claiming to have been involved in bitcoin for 18 years. I have my doubts... call me Tomas. Hi Tomas, I think Hairy's statement is qualitative - not quantitative. As in, "It feels like a hundred years" - only it's 18. EDIT - changed 750 to 775 in the mockup formula after seeing Dabs's exact quote from meta. |

Activity points are 1 per week active posting?
1 per day paid out every 2 weeks  Actually it's a bit more complicated. It takes into account if the user has actually made at least one post per day (cumulative: posts in the previous 2-week periods do count). Here's the relevant quote from meta. RanksThe way activity is calculated:The activity number is determined in this way:
time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)
Activity is updated every hour.

At most 14 per 2-week active posting period. |

because majority didn't take me seriously.
And they shouldn't. What you say is just meaningless gibberish. It could go up or it could go down. Of course, it won't go left or right. If you'd like to be taken seriously you have to say if you're long or short? What are your take profit and stop loss levels? The rest is just blah blah blah. Long. No stops. Liquidation somewhere sub $3k. Take profit over $180k. Best of luck shaking me out of my position. Exactly ;-) BTW, about time you legend up, man! Yo Theymos... what has your deterministic system decreed about Hairy's minimum required activity? Uh, guess we'll find out soon enough. |

Publishing exact figures here before the trade is in safe territory could be unwise. We're shark food, and I'm pretty sure many big fish and sea mammals patrol the area for signs of pasture. They could be counting on a small school of fish following precise, easy to follow directions and go on a wild stop hunt with the prey's GPS coordinates on their radar. I still think it is possible to explain - or hint at - the thoughts behind one's trades, and I appreciate those that do. |

I voted Neither (sideways) for our poll, FWIW. Grabbed a bite on a small exploratory short. The larger long is in the red, but it won't be there for long according to my sophisticated SOMA analysis tools.

Your boy LFC_Bitcoin relaxing like a true OG - With fillipone WO hand sign!  You should use the left hand, as the three fingers, appropriately spread, are the "W" and the thumb and pointing finger are the "O". Right hand can be OK if reversed (palm up and slight arm torsion). come on!
Take another picture!
(don't forget the background!)
Actually, a few more pictures might be necessary to perfect WO sign technique. The background is of course critical to make sure it's really you O:-) You don't see the w?  Let's avoid the other letters. I mean, let us concentrate on the hand only, shall we? Lest anybody starts asking about the O. |

Indian Subcontinent.... India, Pakistan and Bangladesh  I've recently met a few people from Bangladesh, and they were outstanding persons. I'd like to make a small donation that is likely to actually go where it helps, and not in some scammer's pocket. Any hints? |

Google image search FTW!  Thank you for the merit if any was left  Reverse search you mean? Of course I kept the prize stash for the winner. You have been properly awarded. National Palace Museum Taiwan Legends will legend.  I'd like to know how you (and fillippone, who's got to have kicked the major assist) did it. I'm always clueless with WOW games and always eager to learn a neat trick. Clue for me was "chinese not yet" this called to HK or Taiwan. So I checked various wikipedia articles like the following: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declared_monuments_of_Hong_Konghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Monuments_and_memorials_in_TaiwanTrign to find the floor pattern (or the yellow walls after) but I failed. I knew saying HK would have been an assist for someone else on the race, but, who cares! We all won because we had fun! Good work Wilhelm! I received one extra in the meantime (thanks jojo and nutildah), so you got my last +1 for best runner up Congratz sirz. |

Here's a simpler solution that includes both parties: Ireland leaves the shithole that is known as the UK.
The problem with that is that the government of Ireland cannot admit to its population that it cannot afford to take on the burden of Northern Ireland from the UK (although its currently in the best position it has even been to do so). Northern Ireland costs the rest of the UK about £7bn a year. Even with the drop on value of GBP that is about EUR 7.7bn. Irish GDP is EUR 340bn, and at the moment its basically spending neutral so does not have a budget deficit. Uniting Ireland at the same level of support for the north as the British government supplies Northern Ireland, immediately gives Ireland a budget deficit of circa 2% (which is below the EU limit so that is ok) and gives Dublin the security and sectarian headache that is Ulster. Well, it is indeed the best time to run a referendum in the north and do this. It's just causing unnecessary bureaucracy and issues. UK is one of the worst shitholes that we have nowadays, the Irish would benefit from the change. Such a move would cause minor market turmoil for sure. Hmm the Irish economy consists of Guinness,lepricorns and terrorism. Good luck with that . And good luck to PM hodlers if leprechaun technology improves. |

Looks like a railway station? Or a mausoleum?
Not a station. The second guess is close. I've provided a few honest hints already... next, a few more pixels. The stairs are several decades older than the floor tiles, which look very new. The stairs were not updated on purpose, so history is being commemorated or recognized?? It must be a square/monument somewhere in Hong Kong.
I am depleting my real life to find it...
Good points, both of you. WOers are a smart bunch indeed! Fillippone in particular is almost right on target... (you'll tell me how you did it won't you?) In fact it's a monument, and as you can now see, I doubt StreetView will help much. Now for the promised pixels. I think the next taker will nail it.  |

Right now Ireland island is without border between Irish people that live in Ireland and on Northern Ireland that is part of UK. Once UK leave EU, Ireland demand that such border dont appear. And whole Europe will stand beside our Irish brothers. Because we are One! Their rights are our rights. Fuck with Ireland, fuck with us all.
The point is the UK might unilaterally impose some kind of border control. Tax policy (tariffs, difference in taxation of certain goods) might be a likely reason. Or the EU could - but Ireland could easily dodge EU pressure by arguing, delaying, waffling, re-arguing, re-delaying etc. |

I'm back. Before I catch up, I'd like to share some images collected during my trip. Here's my gf modeling against a background some of you might like While some elements have been superimposed to protect the innocent, the wings are real and were actually hanging on the wall. They are a perfect fit for her <3  Just for confirmation Ed, i see Trump's hairstyle in editing. is that right? If yes.. Mrs. Ed aka Innocent know about that? Ehm. |

Chernobyl? Found the same pavement pattern there.... Right, I'd go to Chernobyl and maybe feast on the local delicacies while at it  Hmm... white guy wearing shorts and what appear to be Crocs... Empty space. Looks like the entrance to something official. Security guard in upper right hand corner. Well I'm stumped but I gave you one merit so now you have an even number and thus one more to send to whoever does know the answer.
That's not an official guard, though the place does have guards of some sort. And thanks for the merit! Prize is now 4 merits thanks to you. And by the way, a big thanks to @Dabs who loaded me up during my kind-of-absence! He's the reason I could award a prize in the first place. |
