Correct, you applied and theymos saw a void you could fill as a source. I don't know what board you merit or where you distribute them. If no one else is meriting there, then that's the void you fill.
I'm assuming you mean the thread I referenced people to post what they deem worthy of merit. You're right dropping  a post there doesn't automatically mean someone will merit it. A few reasons they may not be merited are the post quality, context and/or timing make it less than "quality" to others. When you run out, you are just in the same position as everyone else, with the exception that you will definitely have more merit provided to you at some point. Everyone else has to earn more to send more. The thread I created provided some work arounds besides posting them in that thread, you can save links to posts that are deserving and circle back to them. You can even create your own thread where you point others to posts you would merit if you could.
Disagreeing about whether a post is worthy of merit isn't making people look stupid. I would say though if you are putting a lot of posts out there and no one else is meriting them you may want to reexamine your criteria, or wait until you earn the smerit or have your allocation topped up. I'm not going to lie the more threads I see like this or posts about constantly being out the more it just seems like begging. They are either an OP or post stating "I'm out" without linking posts what you want to merit, so others can do so directly. Sources should PM theymos once, explain why they feel they need more. You always get a response from theymos in one way or another, most just don't realize it. Silence speaks volumes. That generally goes for an application as well, at this time I assume more sources aren't yet deemed necessary.

I agree with this to some extent it's not the amount of merit out there that's necessarily the issue. It's the way in which some are distributed that seem so counter intuitive to the design of the system. This is why I actually came back to bump this thread.

This is more for anyone meriting these threads or posts. If you yourself have Smerit, are feeling particularly generous and are about to award some to an exhausted source think on this for a minute. You can go here yourself and begin awarding posts. It is infinitely better than cutting them in half to provide to a source who will be replenished shortly. If the system requires a larger allocation, then theymos will add more. It's been done before.

I wouldn't say it's necessarily gotten worse or become more critical to warn newbies. I have to agree with Welsh on this as I've seen it first hand. It was well over a year ago, but I remember someone essentially shutting down comments because of negative feedback on a profile. It was just a discussion thread and the feedback wasn't relevant in any way imo. I'm all for warning people, that's why I have no issue with a user who might have 1000 very similar posts that are just warning newbies or others when something seems fishy or they are exposing themselves to potential scammers. Personally the far better fix is an explanation about how to interpret the data the forum gives everyone access to such as feedback, and rules.  

Nothing ever came of this. That's not to say it won't be implemented at some point in time.

I made this topic a couple weeks ago. It provides better options than requesting a higher allocation. If you haven't already received a higher allocation, it's generally safe to assume it wasn't deemed necessary in the grand scheme of things.

You will find people are free to say whatever they want on this forum. Unfortunately for you no one is going to trade PP with you as a newbie - with a self moderated thread. If you really want BTC then you will need to use the methods available to you. Until you build up some form of reputation that will be paying the fees involved. Hell, I still pay fees, between maker and taker pricing if I'm buying. It's the nature of the beast, when anyone can hack a PP account make a trade and disappear. To be clear I wouldn't make a deal like this regardless of the country someone says they are from, to risky.
This looks like it was a bad choice to accept PP. Depending on the business you conduct you can find different payment processors or set up a method for your customers to pay you directly. I did a quick search and here's an article that has some options if you scroll down a bit.

Updated Pricing based earliest available batch ,then least expensive. Changed Canaan 1041 to 1047 as that seems to be their current offering. Included review/review posts for Innosilicon T3, and 1047. Added Speculation links for Avalon 1066, Bitmain 17+ series miners and Innosilicon T3+. Let me know if something isn't correct or you have a concern.

I can't imagine anything moved last week. Not sure which one but it was a national holiday. Are Laurent and Yang not answering? I've noticed the telegram group has become a shady spam fest.

In short no. Most other countries I believe run 220/240 at the residential level, as opposed to bringing it down to 110/120. With fewer plug differences so that's why you find the Kill-a-watt style devices so readily available. What I did to allow for growth and density, was go with 30 amp 240V circuits to a PDU then to my miners. If you want to spend a lot of extra coin you can buy some pretty fancy PDU's but they're not necessary. That's very similar to what my first couple miners ran off, so there's nothing wrong with the circuit as is, for most miners. You can always upgrade down the road.

Here's another that can be helpful when starting out. First time/Small miner reference for getting started.

I couldn't find anything that was going to work as a plug and play option. So eventually I got fed up and made my own. It's not pretty but it does the job.

$29 500. I don't have my own TA, still learning. I do follow a guy and he's been consistent in his reasoning and his measured moves, also doesn't always reset his lines. I'm still coming in a couple thousand lower than he's showing but If I lose cause it goes higher we're all still winners. 

It's good that it looks strange, and it's fine if you don't trust them. That is one of the best examples that this new DT-1 selection process is working. It's meant to capture varying opinions and perspectives on trust related issues. Everyone has different reasons for their inclusions and why they feel someones feedback, flag support, or general approach to forum dealings. It helps provide a much more rounded trust system, a far cry from the old method.
Not sure what you mean by trust a user feedback without proof. I don't use Default trust, I've made my own custom trust list, which is something all members should do at some point once they get the handle of the system. From what I can tell they have left feedback, each with a reference if that's what you mean by proof. Enough people out there obviously trust them and their judgement so who am I to say that they aren't worthy to show feedback to Newbies by default.
Now if you have any reason besides them being a bounty hunter that they shouldn't be trusted. You can start a reputation thread,or PM people who have included them and make a case. The DT system allows for dt-1 inclusions to remove users after they've been voted in.

No point in thanking me you didn't take the advice or seem to grasp the reasoning behind this. I will never understand new accounts(not going to bother speculating this) that appear and don't care to do things in a way expected of all users on this forum. You're right doing things the right way doesn't make you a good person, but it still serves a purpose. You are less likely to toss away an account with a reputation, among other things. You've chosen your way to build trust, and I can assure you it has only made things significantly more difficult for you to do business here.

Just going to chime in here. Could we not have left this new user a neutral. Then explained to them how this is not the appropriate way to build up a trusted reputation?

OP
What is it you feel you need to be trusted to do? Newbies can buy and sell and generally bid on anything here on the forum. Sometimes you are asked to go above and beyond what other users may have to do - Proof of Funds, send first(Not always advisable but a different story)/use escrow. Seeking loans for the sole purpose as to gain credit, works for banks but here it looks shady.

Not sure if your trust will be made neutral or not, but I suggest just trying to do whatever it was you wanted here. People will set their terms with you on a case by case basis. Just to clarify for you the reason this seems really shady, is you can grab a bunch of small loans, pay them back have a few good reviews then move up to a larger loan and bolt. People have gone to further lengths than that.

Have you tried looking at some of these stats through the App? I'm away and can't check against the website to confirm any issues. I would be interested to see if you have the same errors across both platforms.
In regards to the reviews they are only a snapshot in time. With the payout structure of Novapps+ the blocks they find and transactions do not matter, as they stated it's a set estimated transaction reward based applied based on the amount of blocks expected, not actual found.

I did inquire as to how often it adjusts, if ever. If it does adjust could be based on average of last "x" blocks found or something similar. This would  then affect payouts.

I do agree though accurate pool stats are much more proffesional. That is why they have people reviewing and are actually responding and working to fix issues which is nice.

my advice is always the same OP slow down read digest, then post again.

This is on Nutildahs trust page. So they provided you with the answer you were looking for, you just had to look.

For clarity sake it was edited August 29th 2019. Nothing wrong with that as it is common knowledge at this point. For optics sake it would have been good to quote in the original then add the fun explanation.

It's the OP in that topic they are referring to.

Okay so on mobile - don't expect a great explanation.

Withdrawal option that is available without KYC is converting all coins to BTS then accessing BTS using your same credentials through another gateway. Problem here as I outlined was that this resulted in a 10-50% loss due to the inflated BTS price depending on your trading pair. Which also forces you to trust another party. This is also not presented by the exchange itself this is a workaround with additional pitfalls to less tech savy individuals.

Making up possible reasons why an exchange chose to violate their written terms, is not an objective way to approach accusations. If this were the case and somehow the stroke of midnight brought the authorities to their door  forcing this action, they could share that. This is not the response they have given. So again, being forced to submit above and beyond normal levels of KYC for any and all use of the site violated their terms the way it rolled out. I did wait and work through my issue while exploring all options before creating a flag.

I again don't care if anyone supports this flag apart from myself. I don't give a shit if anyone believes I had coins on this exchange. You either believe me at face value or you don't. I believe all my posts on this matter in this thread, as well as the service discussion thread I started cover my experience so far. Since beginning this discussion it can be seen my case is not an outlier and that these actions are the stance of the exchange.

Everything that has been asked in these last few posts I have already covered. I only respond to make this clear, but am not a fan of repeating myself several times over. If there is a specific question one has that I have not answered feel free to ask

There will be differences on what people think is damaging. Some may see it as only possible if you were financially harmed, some may agree that stress and worry constitute damages, the same goes for privacy and being forced to submit documents to an entity outside my country with no option but to trust them.I have also tried to avoid speculating on their motives, while others have. This was to do my best to remain objective as i laid everything out.

So I say to everyone. Treat this flag and any others the same as all feedback and trust related issues. You agree, you aren't sure or don't care, or you oppose this flag.

I will update with Fracral's response to my deletion request.

"Feel free" is a figure of speech that there is no pressure or underlying requirements to act in one way or another. Not about "feelings"

You still haven't shown the ability to read.
Once again go back through the thread, follow my flag and my reasons are laid out. You don't like it feel free to oppose the flag. This isn't just about me, there are plenty of others who may not use Bitcointalk.org, who will be "damaged" much worse than myself.

I'm confused with what that has to do with their trustworthiness? Is there an issue with their feedback or conduct when interacting with others? If their bounties don't break forum rules, it's a non issue

Read the thread and figure it out, I have been quite clear about my grievances. No I am not a US or EU citizen.
