Thanks, Zapo, payment received as always at the scheduled date.

Slap in the face this new rule for us. We can do nothing only accept it but is hard to understand why such a decision when we take into consideration that so many members didn't fulfill max requirement last week and all weeks before?

The only explanation which comes to my mind is that they are not happy with the results of this campaign. Despite that Zapo did everything he can to choose only high-quality posters and check all posts manually for spam. Zapo is doing a great job because I see IOU signatures in all important threads on BTT lately.

Lately, I have worked with a few new ICO's as an advisor and all of them were not happy with the result they achieved in bounty campaigns which were run directly on BTT. After few weeks from bounty start, they didn't sell any tokens which show clearly that there are no investors left on BTT and even worse new ones don't come to this forum for information because today there are other better places to go if you need info about ICO's and all investors are sitting there.

We already see payouts decline in the signature and all other bounty campaigns. Old school advertising on BTT is not efficient anymore. Bounties will evolve in the coming months and I think we will see a decline first and slowly there will be no more signature campaigns anymore or other bounties on BTT. For sure making so much money from this campaigns will not be so easy anymore or even not possible.

I have added Phantom on my Ark wallet, but do you know how can i backup the private key of this new address ?

Crypto is falling because the people in it for the short term are leaving. Long term players – the Amazons of the space – have yet to be identified. Ultimately we are going to face a compression in the ICO and, for a while, it’s going to be a lot harder to build an ICO. But give it a few years – once the various financial authorities get around to reading the Satoshi white paper – and you’ll see a sea change. Coverage will change. Services will change. And the way you raise money will change.

Hi, I am product manager of one pool (I will not specify names so they do not banned). We would like to add to our pool the ability to “mine on developer Claymore " - how can we do this? Could you please support with that question? Could we talk about this in private messages?

Currently the circulating supply is 105 mil plus 30 mil that is reserved for the Ark team.

Each year 154k of new Ark is forged.

There is no hard cap, reward halvings like with Bitcoin. The supply will keep increasing by a small precentage.

It’s realy good. And power consumption is lower than 0.6.3

Alright i get Ripple is a good currency to invest and with its current value and from the speculation i have read here it can make anyone a millionaire. But my question to you is with the current bearish trend it follows, is there any thing in the coming months that can trigger a hype? With the current price i am happy if it could reach 1.50 USD. Your thoughts please.

Please delete these scrap messages. There was no fund raising or ico. So what the hell are you talking about??

5. Exchanges and CMC

Ok now the serious talking is starting. Recently I covered the renesis team with the Hotbit story that they wanted to give us a ''special'' price of 1.5 btc for the listing of Renesis. After I found out that most of the people here are either scammed, that their balances are changed after a good trade, or even after just subscribe to their exchange and noticed all of the shadow trades and lack of volumes, the Renesis took the great decision to cancel the RESS listing at hotbit.

I have done the following fork ;

Poloniex ( need more questions to be answered at the community dev channels. )
Liqui - Will only add coins at their own discretion
Idex ( In a case that we will be able to trade Renesis with Eth eventually, I'll have to contact them )
OKEx seems hard to get in https://support.okex.com/hc/en-us/articles/360004045672-OKEx-Token-Listing-Vote-Rules
upbit  
Graviex Seems they could accept Renesis as payment https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeFC98OclfkdMKcmwntfTOayung5CgykG_SBxbedCm8NLprWw/formResponse
Gate.io ( need official renesis email, then we will be able to ask them to be listed. Gate.io doesn't charge fee for the listing, but will only list promising project. They will indeed have some news from me eventually )

''binance'' = Case by case, One time per month a new request will be sent to binance. Binance notice more the PROs than the CONs and will look how the team is developping their coin, it will be good to create awareness, even if it's a long work ahead. For binance, I'll probably ask them one time per 2 weeks, so that they could slowly notice us.

Back in June 2018, @ matthewoz101 opened a thread on the matter of the relation on merit and signatures (see Is it easier to earn Merit without a signature?). On the referenced thread, I checked out back then whether there was an influence on being merited depending on signature present/absent (see re: Is it easier to earn Merit without a signature?), and there did not seem to be one really.

In fact, for Heroes and Legendries it had a positive impact numerically, although it is likely due to the fact that for these ranks post more often and therefore gain more merits (there are obvious exceptions, but it is a plausible explanation for the 7 point difference in average merit for those using a signature).
Ranks below Heroes at the time seemed not to be influenced by wearing a signature in terms of average sMerit received.

I don't really notice many signatures. The senior bounty ones look like the forum ones, and I assume that no product in which I have an interest is likely to advertise here. Then there are the junior bounty ones, these are usually 2 or 3 lines of capitalised text pretending to be a big boys signature. The only ones I tend to notice are the simple text strings, as these are often the personal sites of the poster, and can be useful resources.

Although it might be heresy for you bitcoin maximalists, the altcoins/mining subforum does have a surprisingly high signal-to-noise ratio. Here's a post from a 16 activity newbie that I just merited (and whose post history suggests more good things to come): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5024771.msg45483725#msg45483725.

Of course, when I go slumming in the altcoin or bitcoin discussion subfora I never see a post worth meriting (but plenty of posters who get reported for plagiarism) so if those are the only subfora you frequent then pickings are slim, indeed.

I think the value of ripple will never hit that one but I don't say that there is no potential of it because I know how populaw now a Ripple just like an Ethereum.

How does this benefit small scale businesses? Yes there are problems that they are facing but what advantages can you offer over existing methods and how can blockchain help in solving the existing problems?

Have some patience. See few posts above:
