Thanks for pointing out! Believe me, I searched for the right forum to post this but I never thought that under the "Economy>Trading" section there would be a reputation one!
Hopefully a kind moderator would move it there then!

That kind of score system would also discourage people from spamming, since the most posts you have the lower your score gets! That sounds a fantastic formula nutildah! I hope it gets the attention it deserves and hopefully be implemented after a few tweaks.

As already mentioned, I also agree that counting the free merits is not fair, however if counting only the earned merits that'd create the opposite issue. The merit system was introduced on January, so people had about 9 months to earn merits. On the other hand the forums are operating for many years now, therefore some old members have thousands of posts and relative fewer merits, reducing their score because of that is also not fair.

I don't know if it's possible, but the best solution I could think of is if the score could take into consideration the postcount/activity/merit earned of the last 12 months.

I just noticed a person with 62 merits and Jr. Member rank and I instantly noticed something is wrong!

Taking a deeper look it's obvious that this account (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=176810) created this account (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1208438) because the 1st one got a lot of negative trust. He/she then spent all the free sMerit to the new account.

As far as I was able to research, there isn't an official rule they're breaking, they're not ban-evading but instead negative-trust-evading. Also having multiple accounts and sharing the merit among yourself... that doesn't seem right but again I didn't find any rule in the merit announcement.

In any case, the purpose of this topic is to bring the matter in the attention of people with more knowledge than me regarding what is accepted and what is not and also with more power than me (aka DT users) to judge the person in question.

I'd also be glad to know if there is an official rule on the matter and I missed it.

Is something stuck with the network guys? It looks like the last block was forged 11 hours ago.

Update: Okay nvm, it seems that explorer.ark.io was stuck for hours. It now updated while I was looking around.

Dumping is for the dumb!

XDNA is not a public company to be traded in the stock exchanges!
But I know what you meant. For now XDNA is traded in two big exchanges: Cryptopia and Crypto-Bridge. It was also voted by the community to be listed in an upcoming and promising exchange, SonoX (https://sonox.io/vote) where we took position 9 with 9063 votes.

Being listed in more exchanges is almost a never-ending purpose as more new exchanges are being created, but for the very near future XDNA can be traded in those two main exchanges. For the not-so-near future there will be announcements whenever something is set in stone.

As another example of the XDNA's team habit to hear the voice of the community, I was indeed invited to be the Community Manager for these forums! Well... you asked for it!
It'll be my pleasure to assist you all, old and new members, the best I can; answering questions and updating this thread with news.

As a reminder, you're all welcome to also join our Discord and chat about anything!

Is he another Bitmain whο sold their BTC for BCH?

This completion percentage bar is like some old Windows installers which would stuck at 10% and then suddenly travel to 100%  

Exactly. Take for example Ethereum. Until a few days ago it was a giant, then a few missteps caused it to tumble in a very short term. At the same time some good news from XRP boosted it ahaid of Ethereum in market cap., though now they have returned to the previous positions but with close gap.

It's very possible that many Ethereum investors turned to XRP because the timing of Ethereum's mishaps and Ripple's announcements came in a great timing.

My point is this: Just because today Dash is ahaid of XDNA today it doesn't mean there's no room for a competitor. One bug in Dash's code, a drama between the dev team, a successful hack that is not taken care of early... anything like that can drop any coin a lot of positions, making investors to transfer their funds in the competition.

Personally though I believe XDNA is not a competitor of Dash, they have more differences than common points... See my post 3 or 4 page ago.

Thank you Luke.

Too bad the Lyra2REv2 will be ASIC mined now...
From another benchmark, I noticed that the HEX algo (XDNA coin) using the Enemy miner 1.20 (newer version is 1.21) offered a big boost with the 2080ti over the 1080ti, you might want to try this algo too.
As for the Ethash, which miner did you use? Claymore or something else?

Almost at 100 merit here! It's possible that I'll be able to hit 100 after exactly one year, starting from 0.

I was never a shitposter but I remember that when I first found out about the Merit system (I was a newbie when it was introduced) for the first few months I was thinking how I'd make my posts better to earn merits. Later on I stopped thinking about the merits and just posted whenever I had some free time to surf the forums, but the principals had stayed... that way of posting got me merits slowly but thanks to the last changes I feel the speed of earning is higher.

My advice to legit members is to focus on threads with subjects they are familiar with and do their best to give constructive and clear answers to people who ask questions there.

After an average update-frequency of one blog per day, the team seems to have finally take a break from updates!
I'm sure they haven't taken a break from working though.

That's good to hear! Maybe I should apply for a spot in the Masternode Support team after all! I even learnt some Linux tricks while setting up my MN!

And it's more than just advertising. People who want to donate in a cause could use XDNA Foundation. As the Whitepaper explains, the donator will have to buy XDNA and deposit them in the cause of their choice. The funds are then saved in a paper wallet and are sent to the cause for which they've been gathered. At that point the receiver will probably choose to cash out on fiat but they might as well keep some funds for... HODLing... The whole procedure is natively transparent since it's in the blockchain, unlike the usual donations where someone offers some money and they hope those will be used right.

As for other uses, I don't remember any official statement, but it always was about services and shops trusting a coin. Any coin can always be used for purchases as long as a seller wants to accept it, so network stability, good reputation and user acceptance are usually the first steps.
I've seen countless coins promising instant purchases in many many shops after a few months of launch, they run an ICO, grab the investments and disappear.
My point is... I don't know the team's plans, but since this matter is not in their hands it doesn't matter much.

Not a young miner, but a hobbist miner! I just had one PC with 3 GPUs, now it only has 1 1080ti and I'm waiting for a 2080ti too. I mainly game with it and mine on the side so I'm mining slowly, I cannot accumulate enough coins to sell in a short period so I cannot trust calculators.

I suppose it was my omission to not mention that, as people with enough hashpower wouldn't mind mining a different coin every day... unlike me!

Hello! I've been looking around the forums for a merit-giveaway thread and I happened to get here, the last posts seem to be a bit old though, do you still run this?

Anyway, regarding alt-coin mining, if all you need is one post then my latest one which I still remember where to find (lol) is this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1940567.msg45976198#msg45976198


PS: The reason I've been looking for a merit-giveaway thread was because I'm kinda close to ranking up... maybe you know the feeling when playing an MMORPG and you're so close to hit max level after many months, so you pull an all-nighter to reach it! Maybe you don't... nevermind!

Like the "Ourcoin" for example? What new idea does this offer and you started an ICO for that? It's more likely for RVN to be implemented by stores than a new project with an unknown team.

Translation of the second sentence please?
