I know that altcoins seasons too will surely come, but the majority of the altcoins if care is not taken would have already lost all their pride and lost all their customer to bitcoin, if they are not even lost finally themselves, but i trust more in those coins that are at the top market in either exchanges or the top in the most popular ranking site of coinmarketcap, then bitcoin dominance would have reduced a little bit or remain constant for a while.
We have still been in the early days of altcoin season, which is certainly not a season for all altcoins. I strongly believe that most of altcoins born in 2017 and 2018 have been death and nearly unable to recover. Their are some main internal factors for their failures, not come from general market conditions. Their developers are inactive or already abandoned their projects. In some projects, there are no proofs that their developers abandoned but inactively conditions are surely not good things. I believe in this year and next one or two years, there is very difficult to catch capital from investors if one project only claims, I will use source code, fork from this one, and build up my strong project, blah blah. CEO of Binance has same opinion about it. He said, in crypto market, there are only chances left for ones that have real usecases. |

I must say, there are lots of tutorials and procedures on how to avoid being phished on the internet for a while now, even before cryptocurrency existed, but there are still lots of internet users got fooled and become victims of these. And I say being knowledgable and being careful of what to click and what to input/type will be the key to prevent this.
But this tutorial is still helpful, so newbies should work and follow this one.
What attackers use are not strange, and the main reasons why attackers still succeed with their phising strategies are people still don't change their stupid, and careless habits. It is nearly same thing that we see on market, losers always FOMO and buy at peaks, but they usually scare and hesitate to buy (even if they don't get stucked and still have free money to invest) at bottoms. They repeatedly do this, and blame all their losses on market. People give attackers access to their devices, identities, passwords, and more, by themselves, but they blame on attackers and their phising sites. |

Cheaters != Viruses.
There are lots of cheaters with Bitcoin and Bitcoin faucets in the past, but they did not force Bitcoin down. It is same for ICO, IEO, or altcoin projects. Only weak teams force their projects down because of incapable to develop their projects technically, and are unable to build up big communities.

Thank you, but that topic was added in OP days ago. |

OP,
It is so easy to blame on cheaters for failures of crypto projects, but the fact is cheaters don't have kind of huge negative effects like that.
They usually dump their coins/ tokens that they received by cheating, but what do they have after dumping all those cheated coins / tokens? Nothing.
Additionally, cheaters obviously cheat Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Steemit, but please tell me: "Have all those platforms gone down due to cheaters?"

Disable all signature in gambling discussion, altcoin discussion, and bitcoin discussion; then total posts made each day in those boards will decrease considerably. Most of users make posts in those boards even don't care what already mentioned or discussed in previous posts. Posts made in a row, and new posts buried old posts very fastly.
Discussions will only be true discussions if posters spend time to read and care about what already wrote by others.
If they don't care about it, I think other names for those boards like Altcoin spam/ Bitcoin spam/ Gambling spam boards are more relevant.
I don't see problems if signature disabled in those boards, like what already applied in WO.

I have not noticed the feature to tweet via SMS. I always log in my Twitter account, and honestly I simply read others' tweets. In my nation, there is very limited proportion of Tweeters, so I join Twitter mainly because powerful guys prefer to use Twitter to spread their important news, perspectives, analyses, etc. fastly.
The hack demonstrates that activate 2FA security for accounts is important, not only with Twitter, but also with Facebook, Instagram, exchanges, casinos.

There are less than 100 DT1 members
What? Check the first reference I provided in OP! Nope, they are users in trust list of theymos, and not all of them are DT1 members. To get list of DT1 members, please get it here: Complete overview of users on DT1 and DT2 and their ratingsThere are 94 DT1 members, as I saw. |

Get Donator status by donating 10 BTCIf you donate 50 BTC, you get VIP status, which allows you to set a custom title:
You can check the list of donators, and VIP members in donation siteThere are special cases that don't need to be donators or VIP members to be allowed to set custom titles. If you notice you will do recognize them.

The organic growth of BTC2 will catch the attention of many serious investors, Let us support the dev team and spread the word about btc2.
During terrible months of altcoins, it is impressive to know Bitcoin 2 has still organically grown. I knew about the Bitcoin 2 project since 2018, but stopped observe the growth of the project recent months. Can you give me more details on recent organic growth of Bitcoin 2, please? |

It is not a serious fault for user who/whom/whose/which/that don't use English as a first language. For a long time, since the day I left school, I have not yet check basic English grammar. Thank you for the warning. Minor faults do not change average post quality or seriously change a good post to a shit one. You can write a perfect sentence, in vocabulary and grammar, but it neither does make your post looks helpful nor creative. Moreover, the length of your post and the quality of your English are only minor factors. In trying to write a quality post worthy of merit, you should offer new ideas, personal experiences, or perspectives that other forum users will actually find new and interesting.
I search and think that this one is great to start to learn how to use who/whom correctly: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/who-vs-whom-its-not-as-complicated-as-you-might-think/
Among your applied posts, I only like that one |

So I am a source and I get source points but I don’t know how many I get.
Is there a list to show how large my source is.
I suppose I could try to figure out but I earn a lot of merits due to posting a lot of good posts.
So I wonder if there is a merit source list that says what each source earns.
This one does not help you to know how many smerits you have as merit sources in total since the day you became a merit source. Fortunately, it can help you to know how many smerits you currently have are from your source, and how many of them are from your self-earned merits. Enhanced merit UI [1.1]More userscripts can be found in my thread: List of Bitcointalk.org Userscripts/ Add-ons |

Yes, but that won't affect the new rule (requirement: Account has to be Legendary to get on DT1). It's not required that someone's account which he wants to place in DT1 has to have earned Merits. The only thing you need is to have 2 other users with 250 earned Merit (as it was before) trusting the bought Legendary account (before: no special rank required).
There are less than 100 DT1 members, so I don't think new voted DT1 members will not catch attention of old ones. Bought accounts are very easily to know from the forum (email changed recently, password changed recently in Trust profile page) or from BPIP site. Consequently, if new voted DT1 members have fake votes from 2 hacked accounts, it is very clearly that they are highly potential abused DT1 members, and sooner or later they will be excluded from Trust list of other old DT1 members, as well as negative tags. |

I saw a thread on fake site of Bitblender, that was shutdown by their team (likely scam exited) months ago: [Warning] Fake Bitblender sitehttps://bitblender[dot]eu/
That site is added to the host file in OP (last line in OP list) 0.0.0.0 https://bitblender.eu/

What does it mean? DT update log (on September 4, 2019) ? Actually, being added to a trust list means that your given trust feedback to other users is accurate and valuable for the community much more than being actually a trustworthy user. It's quite possible to be on DT while you haven't done a single trade but exposed tons of scams instead and the left feedback by you is valuable for other users to prevent them from being scammed.
I know. - Trustworthy: Through tradings with others, through scam fightings (scam accusation threads or posts).
About the suggestion: it's an interesting idea to take the rank into consideration but I'm not sure if it helps. I can see 2 disadvantages by doing so:
- New users registering after Merit introduction will have a disadvantage compared to users ranked up before (possibly with low effort posts). Theymos is known for disliking too much restrictions for new users and obtaining a Legendary rank would take almost 2 years.
- Such a change could encourage account sales of high-ranked accounts when scammers are trying to abuse trust.
This is reasons why I suggest to restrict at Full member rank or Senior member rank and above. I don't think good users will have to spend two years to become Full members. 6 months or one year is long enough to see quality of those users from their posts, threads, and merit history. I don't think such restrictions will trigger account sales just to become DT members or to abuse trust system. They can buy accounts, but they can not buy merits (significant amounts) without side-effects on bought-accounts. In Default Trust change, theymos wrote: - You must have at least 2 people directly trusting you with an earned merit of at least 250
It means earned merits, not airdropped merits, so buying accounts with airdropped merits is pointless. |
