If posts have not received enough merit for how good they are, wouldn't they have to be from "back in history" for that statement to make sense?  Also, there is a great deal of merit to satoshi's posts whether his account is active or not.

Well sure, any post that is made right now is now in "history" a second after the post, I'm saying going back years in time to merit posts that have inactive accounts. I thought part of the idea here is sort of a trickle-down effect, when you are sending those sMerits to satoshi, he is getting 1/2 of those merits as sMerits, and will never send them to anyone and those sMerits are lost. I guess a "merit source" may not care as much because they can create the merit... my thoughts were to look at current/ongoing posts and selecting ones right now that may be worth merit.

If we go back into *all* history, my sMerits will be spent quickly and will probably be going to users that aren't as active anymore.

you get a merit...

OG once again proving to be a totally uneducated moron...

cant even read basic instructions.. and that obviously means you are NOT a merit source right now... oh my that must sting.. treasurer, DT... but not a new merit source??

poor og...

I hear some cheap sausages calling your name..

EDIT: using DT1 power to bully people who don't agree with you is the antithesis of what a merit source is all about... as usual a lazy and self aggrandizing post from OG

EDIT 2 : OG's thirst for power on the forum is unquenchable.  Obviously theymos recognizes this and purposefully left him out.  This post only proves it

Why are you such a jackass?

No one gets this excited when I ask for a no collateral loan Sad
LOL, I know, right?

BPB is known for doing this sort of stunt and also for his highly lucrative remuneration, which is why everyone here is tripping over themselves like it's black Friday at Walmart to give him the loan.

Was this filled or is BPB gone, filtering the carpet for the crack rocklets that might have been dropped?  Interested to see how this comes out.  Don't think he ever actually needs the loan.  My impression has always been that he gets off watching bitcoin going back and forth between wallets.  Crazy as he is and all.

I think he's gone, hasn't been active since he made the thread  Cry
He'll be back I guess  Smiley

Managers should not be sources just because they manage campaigns.
Likewise, sources should not have to forfeit their position as one just because they manage campaigns.
Coming from a small campaign manager and small source.

If I come across a post I think deserves merit, I will give them some.
How I come across that post doesn't matter. I browse the forum for myself, I read posts during campaign payments.
Good posts are good posts to me, they are one and the same.

If you consider yourself a small campaign manager, what the hell are big campaign managers?

If one is already selling his sMerits, he can possibly obtain ~5-10 votes too, shouldn't be too hard, but it does make it more detectable.
Not a bad idea, makes it a harder to farm.
As Vod said, theymos is a smart guy, he'll figure it out if someone is abusing the system.

1466  Other / Meta / Re: Why the merit system is heavily lopsided in favour of older users on: January 30, 2018, 12:06:20 AM
Nobody is getting salty, lmao. It's about the ratio, and the effort it takes to get where you are. To get 1000 free merit points by being an old user takes way less effort than actually grinding to get the 1000 merit points. It is a vast improvement to the previous system; it's just that in my view the distribution of merit points has been unfair/biased. Remember, it's just an opinion - I'm sure Legendary members than received a bunch of free merit will vehemently oppose my point, and all the Newbies will agree with me.


Yes but it takes 2+ years to get to legendary rank, without the need to write quality posts or anything, just a couple of posts in two weeks period and you'll be sure to get activity points and therefore rank up.. but with merit points, even tho you're a newbie, if you have quality posts and contribute to the forum, you'll be getting merit points and you can get to sr. member or even higher in quite less time than 2 years, with far less number of posts and time, you can get to the rank that takes more than a year... So, kind of, this is better for new people as well.

This is not true.

In addition to activity, everyone now has a merit score, and you need both a certain activity level and a certain merit score in order to reach higher member ranks. The required scores are:

Indeed it is, but if you read what he wrote with understanding, you'd realize he was saying the system is good, but a lot of members ranked up by spamming and posting, which is true.

It really isn't fair that someone with 120 activity starts with a 100 Merits, and one with 112 activity starts with 10 Merits.

A lot of us probably wouldn't be Legendaries or Heroes if the Merit system was here from the beginning.
Theymos probably didn't want to degrade all of us back to 0, but it would probably be the most fair option if all of us started from 0 Merits.
We still have the upper-hand because we have enough activity to rank up, and some older posts someone will eventually read and perhaps spend some sMerits.
I'm getting annoyed by everyone talking to newbies like they're the scum of the earth.
First listen, then talk.
There's no fair way of handling the rank system. If we were all put down to 0 Merits then the more established members who have been here from the early days would probably find this unjust. It would of probably been a little more fair if everyone was distributed merit like they have been, but their sMerit was 0 then only those selected as sources could distribute the points. This would of likely meant that a lot more posts would go unmerited because out of the hundred thousands of accounts that are active here around 30 were selected to become sources granted this has now risen to 57.


I'm not saying there is a better way of handling the rank system, but that we should be more understanding because it is a bit unfair for those caught in lower rankings. Because we have an upper hand we didn't earn, we have ranked up only because of our activity, and not because of our merit. So their reactions are understandable.
I see the basic reaction here is a rant of hatred to anything that is below Member status.
I love the merit system, probably the best thing that happened to these forums so far, but the reactions of some members to basic questions got me pissed off a bit. I might have gone too far, nvm, you got my point  Cheesy
1468  Other / Meta / Re: Why the merit system is heavily lopsided in favour of older users on: January 29, 2018, 11:37:58 PM
For Members and above, it's really no biggie, since they get free merit. But for newbies like myself, getting to the next rank is exponentially higher because you really have to grind. Grinding isn't bad... but imo it's really unfair. Just a mini-rant.
I think it's unfair to allow people to rank up by spamming and posting in activity periods. This system might not be perfect, but it's already showing that it's effective against account farming and encouraging users to post more constructively.  

Indeed it is, but if you read what he wrote with understanding, you'd realize he was saying the system is good, but a lot of members ranked up by spamming and posting, which is true.

I dislike this.
The system is good as is, once the merit sources give you a merit, you get half of it, and when you send it, that person gets half of it until there are no more.
We can all participate in the system to make it a bit more decentralized.

lol,the right eye still looking at it for consideration....Just keep disturbing the mod and am sure you will regain your account
If I'm already on the ignore list then I guess I'm just pissing in the wind

Make sure to send it in proper format.
If you send a generic PM, something along the lines

"I was hacked, why aren't you answering me??"
You'll just get ignored.

Start with your signed messege and write which PM the address is mentioned in, in this format
Code:
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
My account <account> has been hacked/lost. Please reset the email to <email>. The current date is <date>.
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
<insert address here>
<insert signature here>
-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Here is the unedited post where I posted that address: ...
OR
I sent that address to someone in a PM with PM ID#...
Add the tweet and the post where the twitter account is mentioned below.
PM theymos, if no response in a week, PM Cyrus.
I was in the same situation you are in when my account was hacked, don't spam them too much.
It's important to keep the right format, since they skip a lot of requests.

Whatsminer to je nešto kao s9? Koliko košta jedan.

1100$
Da, samo ga ne proizvodi Bitmain nego Pangolinminer
Malo je neefikasniji jer ima stariju tehnologiju
2100W, 11.5 TH/s
Dok je Antminer S9 na 1500W i 13.5TH/s (ovisno o batchu, ima ih od 11.5-14.5 TH/s mislim).
S tim da S9 je uvijek out of stock, mozes ga kupiti na ebayu za nekih 5000$ sad  Cheesy
Možes na forumu naći polovni za nekih 3000$, možda malo manje.
Znači ovaj više troši, ima manji hashrate ali je dostupniji.

To meni zvuči sasvim ok za cijenu od 1100$, ali mora biti nekakva kvaka u pitanju inače bi taj miner bio popularniji od bitmainovih minera.

Kvaka je u tome da ga nema po toj cijeni osim ako nije neki rabljeni s ebaya ili oglasnika. Ako se ne varam, cijena na službenom shopu je bila preko 2000$ i to za prednarudžbe.

Ma da, vidim sad su izbacili preko 2000$.
Do neki dan je na shopu pisalo 1100$ pa sam naivno očekivao kad izbace prednarudžbe da će biti po toj cijeni.

As a campaign manager, I believe this is one is a good suggestion, It will be helpful to the constructive/ quality posters. I'll try my best to reward it to my campaign participants.

So you are going to reward your members with merits when you make money?  Don't you think some will view that as trading?

Depends how often you do it.
If you give out 50 Merits / user, it is.
But if you give out a few merits to few people, for very constructive posts, it shouldn't be.
I had only 200 sMerits so far, I just spent almost 70 (on non-campaign members) even before the payment date is up for my campaign.
But I'm not a merit source though.
I expect to spend 5ish Merits on my 20 campaign participants  Cheesy

EDIT:
@Jet Cash
Seems like a very reasonable argument.

But what I'm more interested in is what security feature could be implemented by exchanges to prevent gunpoint-forced transfers. Opt-in 3 days delay for withdrawals above certain amount? For business-owned accounts - requirement of two 2FA authentications?

This discussion was the reason I started the thread.

All talk of guns, knives etc. are not relevant, as it is in the UK, and the police are more likely to spend time prosecuting you, than hunting for the criminals if you carry a knife. In fact you run the risk of prosecution if you defend yourself against terrorists over here. If the police are too vigorous in arresting the thieves, or they keep them in custody for an extra couple of hours, then the criminals may be awarded many thousand of pounds in compensation if they claim against the police. This is the reality of England under the rule of the Keiser Reich.

Everything beyond self defense will not necessarily save your life and should be used as a last resort.
After they get what they want from you, you're just a witness that knows too much.
The best I can think of is a hidden volume and a lockbox with a lot of keys.

"In addition to activity, everyone now has a merit score, and you need both a certain activity level and a certain merit score in order to reach higher member ranks."
So both are cheating in order to achieve higher ranks.
Lauda is the highest rank, aTriz is the second highest.

For the same reason the newbs are doing it.

I support the idea of the merit system being uncensored, since censoring it will make people afraid of spending their sMerits, however, if we want the newbs not to engage in Merit exchanges, there should be examples of that behaviour from trusted members.

You gotta admit you see their point.
If one of them gave someone 20 Merits for a post like that, and then got 10 back, someone would probably neg him.
I'm not saying that's wrong behaviour, I'm just saying we should try to set an example instead of saying omg, shitpost,spammer, stfu since simmilar behaviour on their end would be penalized and frowned upon, it can be hard to spot the differences for lower ranking members.

Also, I really don't consider this (http://prntscr.com/i7czpx) to be worthy of a neg.
My belief is that this is not what the trust system was designed for.
It's designed to fight against scams, can you trust someone with your BTC or not, not to neg people who attack you, no matter what they're saying.
