while a lot of posts are simply spam for signature bounties, it's likely that many good posters might end up quitting aswell if there's no gain?
302  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Sia Coin Potential on: October 28, 2018, 03:42:56 PM
SIA needs a lot of marketing to advertise their storage services but their competitors like Dropbox, Amazon A3, Google Drive are too strong and popular. SIA needs to spend many millions of dollars on advertising to become popular.

but if we look at it long term, there's no reason to use those right?
it's interesting to see in how many fields blockchain will rule!
303  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Precautionary Steps to Avoid Becoming A Victim of Crypto Crime on: October 28, 2018, 03:13:45 PM
could you elaborate a bit on this: 2. Do not keep very large amounts of Bitcoin (crypto) in a wallet that can be accessed on the internet.
what do you mean?
304  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is there a coin only for CPU? on: October 28, 2018, 02:25:04 PM
is there any benefit for a coin to only allow CPU?  Huh
305  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How MERIT changes the culture of this forum on: October 28, 2018, 02:14:41 PM
it's true that it's a reward, but at the same time, majority of internet forums through time has not needed any merit - most just has a post count.
I think that says more about how the forum demographic changed!
306  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [Discusion] [Help] Helps to raise Ranking on: October 28, 2018, 11:07:16 AM
if you go into Any thread, and look for the posts which isn't just "blabla", you'll likely see that the poster has merit.
the key to gaining merit is probably realising that merit comes from other people, so to gain merit, you have to post something that will make others want to give you merit.
that's it, there's no "special skills" required.

CoinMetro which held an ICO and is going to launch in december I think, they claim to be on track for having a card so it seems like it's possible.
308  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Tougher decision this year. on: October 28, 2018, 09:56:36 AM
many altcoins has, and will, go through some new stage of development this year, so instead of looknig at prices currently, try to find those!
309  Other / Archival / Re: A Global Decentralized Money on: October 28, 2018, 09:51:19 AM
No, the average person doesn't care if it's global, they don't care if it's decentralized. What the average person cares about is if it works to buy food and pay their bills. Now investors are quite a bit different beast and also well off global travelers.
this is a good reply so this thread didn't have to go to 5 pages perhaps,
but if we think further, someone in power has to be both aware of the flaws in the current system, and want to "break free" from it?
we don't need the middleman, but yet governments and banks are fighting so hard to keep it. to get to the next stage in civilization we must get past this point!
310  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Warning !!! Read before you buy bitcointalk account. on: October 28, 2018, 09:43:37 AM
it never hurts to remind people, but if someone is looking to buy an account they're likely going to go for it regardless of a warning.
and probably get scammed?

what's the point with "discouraging" against buying accounts, rather than just disallowing it?
311  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: wallet securing !! on: October 27, 2018, 04:16:12 PM
you've gotten a lot of information here already but I'll just link a thread I wrote related mostly to ethereum but the concept applies to all:

312  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to Test Your Computer for Cryptojacking on: October 27, 2018, 04:15:27 PM
so it's saying use an antivirus?  Huh
they mention crypto-specific browser plugins, I'd like to expand that with NoScript which disables all javascript until manually approved, it's great.
313  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: HOW PROJECTS CAN MAINTAIN THE VALUE OF THEIR TOKENS AFTER EXCHANGE LISTING on: October 26, 2018, 11:39:12 AM
only a small % is usually given to the bounties, hardly that can be the reason behind the price drop.
it's usually the founders or people who got to buy in early+cheaper who dumps.
314  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do not send bitcoins to extortionists on: October 26, 2018, 11:37:24 AM
I got one version of this mail and it didn't go to junk, "luckily" there's many people who's had the same mail so just a quick googling showed that it was fake.
although it should be informed more publically, likely many people has no idea what bitcoin is (i.e doesn't come on this site)  Lips sealed
315  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Proofread before posting on: October 25, 2018, 10:10:03 AM
it's just a forum, not a job
Doing bounties is indeed a job for a lot of people. Especially posters from 3rd world counties earn a fortune in eg. signature bounties compared to what they can earn with a regular job.

you might be right but the grammar necessary isn't "job-level", no bounty checks grammar do they?
I'm not saying people shouldn't try to write properly but at the same time a forum is a bit like a chat with posts!
316  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: KYC is simply just to cheat bounty hunters. on: October 24, 2018, 11:00:58 PM
if the bounty managers are asked and claim KYC isn't required, but then afterwards demands it; that's indeed cheating bounty hunters.
but it's also important that people really know what bounty they get into, I started a bounty once that didn't mention anything about KYC but after double-checking in telegram it was indeed required.
so, sneaky  Angry
317  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Proofread before posting on: October 24, 2018, 10:58:59 PM
it's just a forum, not a job, as long as one can make themselves understood and just posting a comment it shouldn't matter too much.
of course, proper grammar and formatting when creating a thread might make people more interested in reading/replying.
318  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: 👉 [ List ] Exposed scam ICO list by Coolcryptovator. Updated: 18-10-2018 on: October 23, 2018, 11:16:01 PM
With Live do you mean they're 100% exposed as a scam but are still collecitng funds or?

For others to easily understand "LIVE", We can say that they are still actively/aggressively/continuing promoting their SCAM project despite of having reports that claims their scam activity.

where currently are scams exposed, I assume googling would bring up some results but it seems like there should be something more officially like on .. cmc or the various trackers (etherscan etc)
319  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Stop searching for merits and you will received them.- see Smerit as liabilities on: October 23, 2018, 11:11:13 AM
You made a couple of great points there. The same logic applies to life in general. If you are focused too much on something that you want to get, focused to the point of despair, usually you never get it. And yes, you have to give in order to receive.

it's a common saying but why would it be true? chances to get something increase the more one tries shouldn't that be the case.
320  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: chaos theory in cryptocurrency? on: October 22, 2018, 07:18:11 PM
what chaos are you referring to? prices?
and I think it's safe to say some big players are heavily manipulating the market with ease since it's still so small (300b but like $30b has gone in) and that's in all cryptos.
