Lol you serious, top 5 football league in the world in four years? Not even Saudis with their oil money can't buy that.


You can forget about young stars coming en masse to Saudi Arabia because that would be detrimental for their career and their own development. You can only improve and become better player if yopu play against the best players in the world, and they won't be there.

Yep, last time thyemos introduced new merit sources was 2 years ago, back in June/July 2021. From what I noticed, he tends to add new merit sources in bulk after he notices that merrit shared across forum drops significantly, and until that happens I think that its unlikely that we will see new new merit sources, even if some local boards could really use more. 


Have you tried sharing posts from your local board in Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source? I did that in the past when our local board lacked merit and it really helped us.

How did you adjust merit count manually?

I usually don't mind the discrepancy because bot usually shows less than I actually have and for whatever reason few days ago it started show more than I have (which is kinda annoying), to be more precise it shows 5040 while I have actually 5033.

I was also surprised to see such a big merit increase in Indonesian board (first thing that crossed my mind is that they maybe got a new merit source but I was too lazy to check Merit Dashboard to see what's acually going on) but then Ratimov gave an explanation that external merit sources gave them a push.

I rmember same thing happened in Croatian board few years ago when we were undermerited and external merit sources came from time to time and helped.

I don't think that you fully understand the current gap between Saudi league and Budesliga/Ligue 1. Former is ranked somewhere between 50-60 strongest league, which is equivalent  of German 3rd league and for that kind of league to come into top 5 you would need an insane amount of money, especially in the country that is not known by its rich football history. Also keep in mind that they don't produce their own quality players (unlike Bundesliga and Ligue 1) which is another big problem.  


Do you really think that all Saudi clubs have that kind of money, to indefinitely keep grossly overpaying players in order for them to come here? Of course they don't, and this trend will eventually die out, like it happened with China. I see this trend merely as a Saudi Arabia attempt to be a host of 2030 World Cup, which I don't think it will happen.

Lol no way that they ever become as competitive as Bundesliga or Ligue 1. Sure, they managed to attract some players but those players are mostly past their prime and just came for one last big contract but it would take much more to come even remotely close to Europe level of football.

Imho, I see it as just another fad that will eventually pass, like it happened years ago with China.

Its not that Mbappe would improve Arsenal, but he would improve just about any team in the world (except maybe Man City but I am pretty sure that Pep would fit him somehow). Having said that, there's literally 0 chance of him joining Arsenal as it would go against everything they do as a club and the most realistic scenario is that he ends in Real, either this season or the next (more likely)

In other news, I still can't believe that it looks like Brozovic is going to Saudi Arabia in the end, mainly because it might have a big impact on our (Croatian) national team as level of play in Saudi league is much lower and I am afraid that will affect his performace for national team. Too bad that Barcelona can't afford him at the moment...

Thanks, somehow I missed that part of his post.

I don't know if you compared his post history in Rubycoin thread against the most recent ones, but I suggest you to do so because its pretty obvious that whoever currently controls the account was not the person who created it, no matter what he claims. I mean, even the post you just quoted shows the difference in English level between now and 2014-2019 period.

What I would like to know is whether you deny that account changed hands (you were asked that in other thread but I haven't noticed that you answered that.

I am asking because there is an obvious difference in the English level from period between 2015-2019 while being active in Rubycoin thread, and after waking up in 2022. How do you explain this difference because its one thing (and natural) to improve English level but in your case the opposite happened and your English got worse.
 

There's really no need to (at least not for me) share screenshot in order to prove that Binomo is a bullshit exchange. Just one look at their inflated number of users and traders says enough. On top of that, from what I can see they are not listed on Coingecko or Coinmarketcap and that tells you everything that you have to know about this "exchang".



Not being on CMC/Coingecko is not a sign of legitimacy of course, but an exchange not being listed there at all is a major red flag.


Since they are not active on bitcointalk, I don't think that this topic will hurt them much (if anything), but it may bitcointalk members from losing their money.

There's really no reason to artifically keep a discussion topic alive if there's no real interest in it anymore and it is perfectly normal for topics to die after some time.

Istina, trebao bih biti malo aktivniji u onom BSFL threadu, ali cesto skroz zaboravim tamo pisati jer ne posjecujem redovito gambling board.


E ovo zvuci super te cu se definitivno prikljuciti, samo javi ovdje kad budes otvarao. Dok sam svojedobno bio aktivan u NBA threadu cak sam planirao otvoriti NBA fantasy thread ali sam u medjuvremenu izgubio volju tamo pisati zbog velike kolicine smeca pa sam naravno i prekrizio ideju o fantasy league.

Mi ostali smo u biti krivi jer da mi vise pisemo, automatski bi i ti natukao 100 postova ko iz picke. Inace, zanimljivo je da Portugalci imaju svega par aktivnih clanova vise dok u isto vrijeme imaju 3x postova vise od nas sto znaci da se tamo bas raspravlja o svemu i svacemu.



O da, pad je vec ovaj mjesec itekako primjetan u odnosu na Svibanj te ocekujem da bude jedan od nasih najslabijih mjeseci uopce.

I looked some data for June and you are right, we can expect pretty big drop of post numbers in some boards, which is kinda epxected as summer is coming so people have better things to do that spend time on the forum.


While spammovic is responsible for almost 20% of our total posts in May, if you check that table at the end of the overview you might notice that there are some local boards that depend even more on one member and in soem cases even go to almsot 50%.

S obzirom da je sam kraj Lipnja, krajnje je vrijeme da prestanem slackati te napokon izbacim mjesecni pregled naseg boarda za Svibanj 2023. Predgled je standardno napravljen uz pomoc  @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboarda te @TryNinja Ninjastic.space te je sve uploadano na joker_josue TalkImg kojeg ovim putem preporucujem ako uploadate slike na bitcointalk.

Analiza broja postova tijekom Svibnja 2023

Tijekom Svibnja 2023 na nasem board je napisano 328 postova sto je blagi rast u odnoisu na Travanj tijekom kojega smo napisali 301 post je to nastavk trenda smanjivanja broja postova koji traje zadnjih par mjeseci. S obzirom da dolazi ljeto tijekom kojeg ljudi imaju pametnijeg posla od foruma, ocekujem nastavak trenda i u slijedecim mjesecima.




Chart koji prikazuje broj postova od 2018 najbolje docarava situaciju u kojoj smo trenutno. Iskreno, gledano iz ove perspektive ne mogu ni zamisliti kako je bilo ovdje kad se pisalo 1500-2000 posotva mjesecno, vjerojatno je bio totalni cirkus.




Ovakva je situacija kad se usporedimo sa ostalim boardovima; Rusi su standardno daleko ispred svih (iako je njihov broj donekle napuhan zbog velike kolicine spama) a slijede ih Turci i Njemci. Mi smo nekad bili u desnom dijelu charta, ali vec duzi vremenski period smo pri samom dnu. Situacija bi doduse bila bolja da sam ubacio par polumrtvih/mrtvih boardova, ali mislim da nema smisla samo zbog toga da prividno izgledamo bolje.

Analiza merita za Svibanj 2023

Tijekom gore navedenog perioda na nasem boardu je podijeljeno cak 295 merita sto je jedan od najbolih rezultata uopce (da budem precizan drugi najbolji) te svakako veliko povecanje u odnosu na Travanj tijekom kojeg je podijeljeno 211 merita. To su svakako fenomenalne brojke s ozbirom na nasu aktivnost, ali sitiacija je slicna i na ostalom dijelu foruma jer je postalo stvarno jako lako doci do merita sto je rezultat povecane kolicine merita koju merit sourcevi imaju na raspolaganju te smanjenja broja aktivnih clanova.




Lista onih koji su podijelili i primili merit na nasem boardu tijekom Svibnja a lista je malo duza u odnosu na Travanj sto ne cudi s obzirom na veliko povecanje broja podijeljenih merita. Po ocvome ispada da prakticki svatko tko je iole aktivan na boardu moze ocekivati merit.




Po pitanju podijeljenog merita stojimo puno bolje kad se usporedimo sa ostalim lokalnim boardovima nego sto je slucaj na post chartu.




Dok smo nekad na ovom chartu redovno bili pri samom dnu, i prosli mjesec bili pri vrhu sa 0.9 merita po postu sto je mislim zasluzeno kad se uzme u obzir nasa kvaliteta te situacija na ostatku foruma. Iz ove perspektive mi izgleda smijesno svojevremena tvrdnja neki clanova da imamo dovoljan broj merita u vrijeme dok nam je prosjek bio na mozda 0.1 kad sam prvi put potegao pricu da smo deficitarni po tom pitanju u usporedbi sa ostalim lokalnim boardovima.

Hey LoyceV, I don't know if you noticed but images in the guide are not showing (at least not for me) so maybe you might wanna check it out.

Well, that's not really being skeptical but rather being conspiracy theorist and I am not big fan of those.
Talking about conspiracy theories, I also heard from some ppl saying that Bitcoin was created by government in order for people to slowly accept digial currencies so its easier for them to push CBDC. 

A izgleda da su drazve zadrzale nesto sitno sposobnosti da odlucuju sami o sebi. Iako, bit ce zanimljivo nakon sto se u EU uvede ta famozna MiCA koju uostalom Binance cesto spominje u svojim obavijestima pa mozda onda budu sve EU zamelje imale isti stav.


S ozbirom koliko smo mi uredjena i nepotkupljiva zemlja vjerojatno nisu imali nikakvih problema sa licencama kod nas, ako su uopce podnijeli zahtjev.

Od ostalih novosti, FTX CEO navodno traze investitore da ponovno pokrene mjenjacnicu, ali pod novim imenom. S obzirom na kratko pamcenje prosjecnog kripto entuzijasta, uopce me ne bi iznenadilo da ova prica cak i uspije.

I just checked it and it website works normally for me, no issues whatsoever, including image uploading.

edit; I checked 14 minutes after you made that post so maybe in the meantime it started working again.

It's pretty much the same thing in other local boards, as I've used Google translate to communicate with members in other locals, and non Croatian speakers used it to communicate in my local board and no one really mind it.

I don't think no one would mind if you make an ocassional post in English on local boards either (at least we didn't mind when someone did that) as long as you don't overdo it and start spamming.
