Now that's not very nice, if you had read through the thread then you would've noticed that I have already asked for the last one. Unless someone managed to ask before me through PM, which I find highly unlikely since I responded within 2-minutes of OP saying they have a code left. Assuming this is done on a first come, first serve basis then it would seem very odd to give the code away to you; although, I have yet to hear from OP and am doubtful they will give me a code or a sufficient reason why.

This has been deleted.


Your post is hard to read, hard to understand and formatted in a way that hurts my eyes. There are no spaces, no pauses, no line breaks and I can't figure out what you're talking about. I might be a simpleton, and it's just going over my head; most discussions regarding airdrops are not something I merit though.


You've already received a couple of merit for your first submission, so in my opinion this is not under merited. Keep it up though, it was an interesting post to read. Your second submission is something I do not agree with and do not feel like there is enough information being presented with your conclusions for me to be persuaded or convinced.


The negative trust rating you have received about abusing the merit system and plagiarism makes unwilling to look at your submission. Please do not resubmit any posts until you have taken care of this situation or gotten the trust rating removed.


The post you have submitted is simply saying "Thank you". This is not something I plan to merit.

I like the reference. It got a smile out of me, and I was willing to accept this as fact. Fair enough, I don't know how you can possibly see someone as standing out in this campaign, because it is full of a ridiculous amount of exactly the type of people that would stand-out in a campaign. Congratulations TheQuinn, and the other previous benefactors of bonuses. I hope to roll the die myself someday. 1d58 always been good to me.

Was the bonus for the most posts that didn't qualify?

I see our merit stats have gotten a bit goofy on the spreadsheet, because of formatting errors or something like that I presume. Thanks for getting posts counted before the day ended, not that it particularly matters; I was just rooting for you getting it done on time. Week 7 (for me) payment has been received with multiple confirmations already.

Seriously though, might we have more information on the bonus, if for curiosity if nothing else? Or are they meant to be a mystery? Do you spin a 58 sided die with all our names on it? The possibilities are seemingly endless.

Your google form looks pretty nice; that's going to make weekly applications into the challenge a lot easier to manage. I also like that you're not making it mandatory and accepting PM applications for those that don't feel they can use a Google Form. Top notch challenge management, Joe! This week is looking to be a big week for the challenge, looking forward to keeping up with the participants.

These are pretty lame if we're being honest. I can tell you did not put much effort into your post or your tips. I don't normally enjoy these kinds of posts, because they feed into exactly what many are fighting against this forum becoming. There has been an influx of low quality bounty spammers that are over taking a large portion of the content being created on this forum, and it is not for the better by any measure.

If you just simply search "Bounty tips" or anything similar in the search function then you would have found there are already thousands of threads doing exactly as you are attempting to accomplish here. Although, most of them at least have more information in their posts. I would suggest locking this thread until you actually have more information on the subject yourself and are able to add some substance to the discussion. There is no creativity, nuance or innovative thinking being presented. I don't even know how any of this information can be applied, since it is so vague. You've given instructions without clarity, and this makes them impossible to follow.

I do not check post history in this service. You have broken a rule by submitting so many posts, and therefore I will not be checking your submissions at this time. Feel free to read the rules and resubmit once you fully understand them.


I do not merit threads about airdrops, ICOs or bounties. This is not something I am interested in and I do not believe it is helpful to anybody.


There has already been multiple threads discussing how to contribute, think critically and post your thoughts in a well-developed or high-quality manner. Many of these threads are more informative and well-thought out than yours. Just talking about bounties, ICOs and things like that is not helpful. I don't know, but it just doesn't seem like your posts are warranting of merit at this point. I am not compelled to continue reading your posts.


This is just another thread trying to optimize bounties and this is something I disagree with entirely. It is not something I want to promote and so I will not be giving you merit for this.


You've also broken a local-rule by submitting more than 5 posts at a single time. Therefore I'm not going to even look at your posts, but feel free to resubmit after you have read the rules and OP.

This is something like the 5th twitter audit service I've seen pop up in the Beginner's & Help board. This is not the correct place for you to create this thread. I appreciate that you want to help others and offer a service, but this is meant for the service board.

Please, move your board here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0 , if you are unable to move your board, then report it to a moderator in order to be moved or simply lock the thread in the bottom lefthand corner and begin a new thread in the correct section. Your thread will get deleted if you continue to operate it within this board, where it does not belong.

Do not post until you read the stickies of each section, the forum moderation policies and guidelines for the forum in general. Below will be the guidelines of a few sections relevant to what we are discussing.

I cannot read this language and therefore I will not merit it. I'm pretty sure the OP has a rule against submitting posts unless they are in English.


I appreciate the work you do. You seem to be helping members in complicated situation and with problems that I would be unable to help them with. I just don't normally merit Q&A's, and it seems like you've been earning merit for these posts at a pretty solid pace anyways. I would expect the people you are helping to throw you merit, and that seems to be what is happening. Keep it up though, because one of these days you'll be helping me and I'll give you a merit then.


Bollingers are pretty irrelevant when it comes to cryptos in my opinion. Your title has nothing to do with your post. The content contradicts the conclusion and the title. Regardless, I see you've put a little bit of thought and effort into your post and I can appreciate that.


Your posts are almost interesting. Your negative trust makes me second guess giving you any merit at the start and then your posts are not convincing. You will not be earning any merit from at this point with those submissions. They don't really add much of any substance to the conversation.


That post is way over my head, but it seems like HCP did my job for me, thank goodness. I like when other members merit the submissions, because then there is less pressure trying to suck my sMerit away. Very nice post (I think).

You've already received a merit for this thread and I don't honestly understand the utility of what you are trying to suggest in the thread. Maybe I'm just tired, but I didn't quite understand how useful it would be.


I'm not sharing merits, I'm distributing them to those that have earned them in my opinion. You have not done anything to warrant a merit within this submission. It might be helpful to other users and I would expect them to merit you, however I just use something more simple and less intrusive than anything twitter could provide.


These are all spam in mega threads. None of these are warranting merit. I'm honestly a little disappointed, because I gave out less merit than I was hoping I would be able to. That's okay, the service shall continue then!


Reasonable advice, but just not something I can see myself meriting. The quote is rather large and obnoxious, but other than that it's a decent post.


You're the worst.
You broke a formatting rule and a submission limitation rule. Read the OP and try again.

Going a little bit out of order, but at this post I am doing posts that have been submitted to this thread on March 17th and after. If I have missed your post and you have posted prior to March 17th then please resubmit your post. I believe I have gotten to everybody, albeit out of order, but if I haven't then please let me know. I just wanted to catch up to the bottom of Page 11; almost there!

If you see that message then you are banned and there is no "turning it off". A moderator has banned you and you can feel free to ask why or appeal here or through the email system. Which account are you speaking of?

I'm assuming that now that your account has been banned and you attempted to recreate another account on that IP you were forced to pay an "evil fee" in order to post this. That is simply because there has been banned accounts from this IP address and does nothing to unban the previous accounts.

If you link your account, normally a staff member will let you know why you have been banned. Three days is not enough time to have passed for you to expect a response, these things take time. If you were banned though, I would try to figure out why, consider your account lost for good and change your behavior in the future.

I'm surprised I haven't seen anybody link to this thread yet : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2347427.0 , within it is pretty extensive information with many questions and answers to go along with it. The thread was started by a staff member and was responded to by reputable and knowledgeable members. This is, of course in addition to everything that everyone else has already said. I just feel like this thread takes a more serious dive into the subject.

You could also take a quick peek at this thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2729467.0

Normally usage of the search bar will enable you to avoid creating a thread on your own, because chances are somebody has already popped the same question that is on your mind and it has been sufficiently explained/responded to.

Why are you using "forgot password" if you remember the password? I believe using forgot password locks the account, because of a security breach from awhile back. Did you suddenly begin receiving this message one day during regular usage or has it been quite some time since you have accessed the account?

It is bad practice to use the same password everywhere, by the way. Again though, I don't think email access is something admins use as verification of ownership, but I'll let them weigh in on it if need be.

If you cannot prove ownership as outlined in the sticky, then I would consider your account gone. Please link the account if you want staff, or anyone else to look into what can be done.

As far as I know there is no way to get your account back in the manner you are speaking. I have heard of there being different circumstances to regain access to an account that you've simply lost the password to as opposed to a hacked account. That being said I can't promise anything. Your best bet might be to post a link to the account, and see what a staff member has to say about it. AFAIK staff can't access your email, though, so not sure if this would be helpful either.

I would definitely think you would have better luck in the mining sections, whether it be altcoin mining or the regular mining boards. I honestly would suggest either waiting for ASICs to be introduced to new algorithms and being one of the first to jump on that train, or get into GPU mining on altcoins. GPUs are basically miners that are almost set up for you, exactly what it sounds like you are looking for.

One is the 100th+ post in a thread about buying art. Not sure how this warrants a merit. There is a typo in your second submission is it critically important. It's laughable, but even without the typo I'm not interested in coins.ph or whatever that is.


Your first post is definitely not under merited as it has already received multiple merits and I don't believe it warrants any. One of your submissions has been deleted, another is the 4000th reply in a mega-thread that adds nothing and it has been locked because of spam replies such as yours. None of these posts are getting merit from me. Fix your posting habits and try to learn what is expected.


Conversational posts that do not add anything and mega-thread replies that are buried are your only posts you've submitted. I would suspect the rest of your posts are even worse, but what is even stranger is that you've received a merit for one of these posts. None of these will get merit from me, and the fact that you've already received merit behooves me.


It looks like effort has been put into the post, but not too much thought into the premise that's driving it. This isn't a good idea in my opinion, and it is not worth meriting. As I said earlier I cannot merit strictly for the sake of effort.


One of these has been deleted and the other is the 150th+ reply in a mega-thread. This tells me you post garbage.

It seems like this has been mostly taken care of from everything I can tell. I was correct in my original assumption that OP was a scammer. Nobody has received any hardware or valid tracking numbers. The partner has been left with a giant sack of refunds, charge backs and accountability I'm sure they did not foresee. Everyone is being or has been refunded at this point. If nobody has anything to add then I am going to lock this thread and consider it handled. We have tagged the accused with a DT rating, and it seems the only person unhappily walking away from the situation is the partner, which is unfortunate, but much better than a handful of others in addition.

With this being the case, then I can't imagine it would be that hurtful to get rid of the mind numbing amount of meaningless content. Our lurkers are more valuable than our spammers, so if we can even transform any amount of the latter to the former then we'll be in better shape. I'm skeptical that our traffic driven by searches would be harmed, because I'd be willing to bet that the only searches these spammers are driving is airdrops and ICOs. The quality searches, that will drive creative, intelligent and long-term users that are coming for the right reasons are going to be searches that will remain at the top of search engines regardless. I don't think this site has any significant competition, but I might just be naive.


I would argue that they shouldn't pay less, because the quality of traffic would go up at least proportionately to the amount of spam that's reduced. Speculation and opinion as you say though, until something is done with tangible results.


Would this not also fall under the opinion and speculation category? I haven't seen much evidence for this, at least in the thread I reply it seems that OP is genuinely interested in getting an answer most of the time, but then get lazy about locking the topic or simply unwatch the thread and never come back. I've been proven ignorant on many things though, so I'm not saying you're wrong; it just seems ironic to place the one as speculation and not this.


The OP of a random thread is capable of unlocking the thread, so if they're not satisfied they can continue their search. Mistakes are not costly in this scenario.

That was a very quick leap from online wallet to Trezor without anybody suggesting them or even mentioning hardware wallets. I don't know how you came to that conclusion, but it was a good choice in my opinion. They are the most secure options, AFAIK. I also don't know why you specifically asked for an online wallet if that was not a restriction. No matter the case, I am happy that you've solved your issue with a pretty solid choice as far as I am concerned.


If you feel that your question is sufficiently answered, which it seems it has been since you've decided on a wallet and thanked us for our help, then please lock the thread. You can do so at the bottom left hand side of the thread. This will avoid nonsensical responses that will continue to suggest you wallets, even though you have made your decision. They will repeat information said earlier in the thread and it will get out of hand quickly. It's common courtesy to lock your thread once you're done with it.
