In that case, these people will take their "merit trading" activity outside the Bitcointalk, probably in digital point or other forums. If they do that, then there is hardly anyway to identify these users. Another danger is that rather than doing account farming, those users who want to enroll in to multiple signature campaigns may purchase dormant accounts of higher rank (once again, outside Bitcointalk).

is this legal share merits with your friends? and some one is begging for it? or else give merits and trade for something?

a big thanks to you bro.
At first I was doubtful and have come to that point where I am frustrated already but this one helped a lot.
Thanks again.. It worked perfectly and now i am wearing the avatar that I want.

For current members, your initial merit score is equal to the minimum required to your rank. Of that, a certain amount (less than the usual half) is spendable. The spendable amount was calculated based on your current rank and the number of activity points you earned in the last year. A Legendary member who hasn't posted in the last year would still be Legendary, but would not have any spendable merit.

If someone sends you 1 merit, the 0.5 sMerit is not wasted; it is just not shown until you get another merit point.

There are stats here, and you can find someone's merit summary by clicking the "merit" link on their profile.

I wonder if we will see more copy and pasting so farmers can appear to have better quality posts.

This looks like a typical shit poster.  Is he now using someone else's material as his own in order to get merit for a quality post?

I've reported this idiot and this one was super easy to catch as his reply was completely off topic and vaguely familiar...  What about someone who's a little more sophisticated about it?  I hope the community will continue to aggressively monitor this as stealing someone else's work is LOW really really LOW.

If you want to join translation bounty, you must visit the bounties thread frequently. When a new Bounty announced, alot of people will reverse for the translation. You will not be chosen if you are late.

New rules for changing ranks

Recently, a new function "Merit" appeared on the site of the BTT. I think that in many who are developing their accounts there will be a question, but how will this affect me? Under the new rules for the transition from Jr. Member to Member needs to have not only 60 activities, but also 10 more Merity.

Rank                          Required activity Required merit
Jr Member                            30                  0
Member                               60                 10

How to take Marity?

You get merit points when someone sends you some for one of your posts. Additionally, when someone sends you merit points, half of those points can be sent by you to other people.

I do not know if it's good or bad, I think after a while we'll see. What do you think about Merity?

Newbie Rank unable to join the bounty program?
there a chance to get it if you follow it?

The new system is surely better than the previous one, even though it is over-rewarding "old members". I guess nobody who has joined Bitcointalk in the past six months will EVER manage to become Legendary Member, at least not in less than one or two decades. Fine, this could be a price to pay to avoid the forum getting even more trashy, I fully agree. But I think that the implementation of this new system could be done in a more fair way. The fact that initial merit score is equal to the minimum required for one's rank is not a big deal for Newbies or Juniors, but for higher ranked members, like Senior or Hero Members, it can create big inequalities. For example a freshly ranked Senior Member is now getting the same merit score as someone who has already been a Senior Member for almost half a year and is about to become a Hero. Even more dramatic would be the case of a Hero who has already the activity to be a Legendary but the random system did not grant him the rank yet. A more fair way to distribute the inital merit would be to calculate it proportionally to the actual activity. This would avoid that people like me (I don't want to make it personal but I'm the first example which comes to my mind) who is missing only 4 points of activity (and 5 days) to the rank of Hero Member, instead of getting, let's say 470-480 merits (instead of the 500 of people who already are Heroes), is getting only 250 merits like someone who has just ranked Senior Member 10 days ago, and instead of 5 days it may now suddenly take me years before I can become a Hero - how many very good posts has one to do before he gets 250 merits? If you receive one merit every 4 post you do (on average you are likely to get less IMO) it will take you 1000 more posts to rank up from Senior to Hero, and if you like me were only 4 points of activity from that target, and now suddenly you need another 1000 posts, to say that this is becoming extremely frustrating is a big understatement. On the other side, with a more proportional and balanced initial distribution of merits I think nobody would feel that the system is penalizing them more than it penalizes others - which means people would be more inclined to recognize its substantial fairness, or at least that every effort has been done to achieve the maximum possible fairness.

I checked a lot of topics again, and didn't noticed any received merits for a good posts, although I have noticed a lot of merits received for the high rank member posts like "You want some merit bro? Here you go hehehe" and responses to such posts like "Oh, thank you, I have sent some merits for you as well hehehe". What can I say about it, I don't think, that this system will stop spam and shit posting, and I'm pretty sure, that high quality posts will be rewarded with a merit, although I have already found a telegram groups, where merits are sold for 1$. Why do you need to send your merits for free if you can sell it, right? So this system is not solving the problem, but it already added some corruption and it gave many advantages for a senior members, and gave a lot of disadvantages to the newbies. This forum is not facebook, why it is necessary to have "likes"? And I'm just curious, what was the motivation to put such ranking system - to get a full member rank, you need to gain 10x more merit, than for a member. I don't think it will stop creation of multiple accounts, as some strange activities were noticed already:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2439743.msg28861940#msg28861940 - 7 merit points were received for the question "How much merit points newbie need to receive, before he can post in other section?"

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2770539.msg28896442#msg28896442 - 50 merits for "Right, yesterday he told, that he saved 9% of coins"

High quality posts, huh?

I have few thoughts regarding this. First of all, this could be implemented with purpose to raise the price on the accounts with senior ranks. Admin informed us, that moderators will not moderate merits, than why do we need this? I find it quite suspicious. Secondly, it will help hero/legendary members to save their profits in the bounty campaigns. Now it will be difficult to reach senior ranks, and new rivals will rarely appear. That's my point regarding this new system.

Being a high-rank member doesn't necessarily mean having a good judgment on how good/bad a post is.
There's a lot of Sr. Member and even Hero Member who still do a shitposting on this forum and it doesn't quite reflect their position as a high-rank member.

There is no way 1070 does only 13 Mh/s, I get almost 14 with 1060.

Guys, existence of XVS is bad for business and for VSX value and adoption !!!
When people search for this coin they will see 2 versions of this coin with the same name ! very confusing.
Dev please take away XVS from coinmarketcap. No one wants to be on this chain. No one has this coin except you
who has millions of swap coins. Ethically you have to burn those coins you received from swap.
VSX is a great coin but XVS is going to destroy it.
If I knew XVS was going to be alive after the swap I would not invested here.

i hope you do something about it. At least change XVS name from Vsynic to Notsync.

I'm a wallet novice, so forgive the question: I've downloaded the Vsync qt wallet, it's not doing anything, no syncing/other, do I need to download the qt program or do something else to make it work ?

I don't know why you got the problem, My total hashrate for VSX is 24.7, the figure for pool is 848.6, so my percent is somewhere around 3%. I don't know how to upload image here, so you can check it using the following link
http://steamoctanepool.com/?address=VCFL2TuDL9LTaYvm213dzHjUrQRTdD317y

However, I got a serious problem with the pool yesterday. I have mined continuously so my coins paid for each interval (such as 5-hour interval) should be almost the same. Yesterday, after the paid out of about 600 VSX, all of my coins in the status of immatured or confirmed, the total figure of those is somewhere around 900 VSX) which should be paid out for the next round disappeared. Then my total unpaid plummeted to 0. I posted yesterday, asking the pool for help, they contacted me, but I haven't still received their answer.
