This is not an easy job to keep up with the regular pace of evaluating this the post for all the submitted entries and share merits but you are still doing good with keeping this thread alive and helping members to grow to next rank.

But if you are saying you are lagging behind in terms of merit then I would say you are still way ahead of us as you have shared 65 merits to members today only and it's far more then most of us on forum so appreciate your work and helping others to get merits from you and the I am seeing your merit distribution changing from regular 3 in each TX to 1-2 and more also so best wishes to you man and take your time always.

See they have made the whole decision after whole lot of discussion with the developer and UI/UX designer but if there are lot of talks and discussion about it or negative image is being displayed due to some reasons they might change it but it's not a easy task as well as you need to settle each aspect on the same ratio with new color scheme and lot of work but they will do if the community demands so on mass base as you said.

Exactly In the current span there is still lot of spam and daily hundred of reports are submitted so in the absence of it what would happen and would you call it a forum? It would be filled with spam posters if we think of going decentralised and it's not at all good idea with complete delegation of powers.

But yes we still enjoy the freedom of posting and share ideas with each other like the open discussion forum but why you want more freedom? As a member I feel free to write and see any board and mods are doing their job unless you make any mistake you don't need to worry but @OP idea doesn't seems to please me as well because we have seen that part which he is ignoring but see this is still freedom that you can share your opinions in the meta about what changes you want or forum related discussion but this doesn't imply all will get accepted.

If exact prediction can be made then you how to make big shots out of it but nobody holds a crystal ball that predicts future for you so that's impossible.But yes you can make speculations to some extent that have valid approach and calculation based on the market judgement but supply/demand factors are major in determining the price of bitcoin.But I would say that these prediction makes these competitions more interesting and challenging.

Yeah actually there are different discussion on the forum if we say specifically about our forum as there are not some investment promotions here and it's on you to choose your investment decision and it's must be based on your research and if you are believing in rumours then it's your mistake as your investment decision should not be influenced by anyone.

Actually what @OP has said is not true if we are classifying different types of fear because Pain one is basically FOMO when you see that this coin will pump and invest fast as you don't want to miss the boat but the pumps are say temporary so there is difference in what you have to say.

You are connecting forum with investment approach and I wonder what link up they have in them? You are member of discussion forum where only knowledge about different things can be gained and use it for your benefit rather then spreading rumours yourself because it will not help you this way.

See this is the problem with most of us that we want Free but we must always realise that nothing in this world is free but it always has hidden cost behind it and we should not fall for these things.See as a suggestion I would say that as you are looking for some free bitcoins then you would find lot of scam advertisements and links with these lucrative titles but they are attempt to steal your funds or data so don't click on them as you could see at this time it's around $20k so there won't be anyone giving you free sats also.

Some of the legit ways to earn bitcoin these days as suggested are by @Welsh like mining and investing but if you are interested in some other ways :

1) Sell your goods or services in return for bitcoin payments

2) Take your salary in it as a portion if your employer is happy with it and don't have any problem

3) You can try to join some projects if you have those skills and earn some bitcoins this way

4) There are few campaigns on the forum also but you need to go a lot like knowledge perspective and rank up on the forum

But if you say without knowledge, investment or mining you can earn some free bitcoins then you are on the wrong move so you need to understand and evade this approach of earning bitcoins.

It's not that difficult because you can differentiate between normal art and AI generated art with lot of factors and those who are judging these art contest have all the knowledge about it.But if you are curious to find out then this article will help you understand it in much better way : Check AI or human

Have there been any such scam instance in the name of Rollbit? I have not heard any such and want to know if there are any such attempts but yes you see Rollbit has gained so much hype in the market with player base so the scammers always are in hunt for such opportunities to take your funds which is why I said follow official account and ask here if you find something suspicious.

No he hasn't earned any merit in the past 120 or even 150 days and only has 14 from @nutildah in this thread only as per his BPIP record so you can think how much valuable his posts have been and earned only 6 merits as at the time of merit system implementation he was senior member and now expressing his feelings about the system as he can't earn merits.

Actually the word official don't fit here because the logo we are currently using as a symbol for bitcoin was designed by bitboy and the community now used it as bitcoin logo everywhere but it was not official from satoshi so we can say that it's the community who support the new logo and in future some more came and it's adopted by all it will be treated as the official logo.

Yeah there could be any reasons and soetimes images are hosted for particular time period over the image hosting site which may vanish them after such time period or as you said forum doesn't allow images to be visible from some particular sites but we can always see them in archived version.

At this time it's just normal ant pumps in which you will see mix green and red candles on the charts in similar price range as it's normal investment taking a boost and giving us ant pumps for the time being but calling it bull run is too early.We can anticipate that we might soon see huge surge in prices and being optimistic is good but we also need to have practical approach which says we have not entered bull run phase.

They will be moving to some other platforms for sure because they aren't going off these big sponsored deal even after twitch ban but there will be short term effect on the views as other platforms might not have that much audience to watch them playing and have to set-up new account gaining from zero point so it will be difficult but we will see many new streaming platforms coming up in decentralised manner.

You can gain activity easily by remaining active and making shit kind of posts also as every fortnight 14 points of activity is distributed among active members so you see it was not a big issue but the problem came when merit system was implemented for them as they can't rank up now with the low quality posts they were writing on the forum as you can can clearly see from his post history.Now he is trying to make some false statements and out of jealousy has started this thread but if he has focused on learning useful stuff over these years he would have ranked up easily by the time now.

I think you should not worry a lot about accuracy of your reports and keep working on it as moderator will take action according to what they find suitable and mark your report as good.In your case if it's moved to bitcoin discussion instead of other board your recommended because someone else might have said so or moderator find it perfect board for that particular thread but still your report should be marked as good.

I know a name which has really high amount of reports submitted and with good mark and he is none other then @Ratimov who has also previously dedicated a thread for it here in which he has submitted 100,000 reports as good so this is old record so he might have gone above it not checked now so one of top in this matter.

I think we are derailing this thread from the original discussion and it's enough on the security matter and those scams pretending to be some celebrity to scam you of funds and focus on Rollbit related discussion for which the thread is intended for and continue it some other time on other board if we are interested in this discussion.So let's focus on Rollbit now to see the new updates and games discussion.

As expected you are the only one who always save these exceptional merit record on the forum when we think we missed it or someone don't have idea about it and don't know how you cope with all these merit records to be saved timely here as they gain merits very fast.But our flash @Ratimov is always one step ahead of us in keeping these records maintained.

So congratulations to @fillippone on breaking another milestone of reaching 11k merit club and third highest merit earner on the forum.This was expected from our Italian geek so best wishes to you man and think it's time to share or update your ranking up thread now

Oh here's another magical number record from @Loyce and attaining this 5 digit sequence is just impressive and one of it's kind till now so congratulations to him for reaching this milestone.

Okay so I also one record to present with you all and save it in this thread with you all.This time it's WO hat gang member and merit source writing up wall of content as his quality post and bitcoin investor @JayJuanGee who has gained 7300 merits at this time and his record needs to be saved here definitely:



So congratulations to him as well with all others on the thread above.

That summaries his whole point of creating this useless and baseless topic regarding merit system as he was not able to get some of it with shitcoin promotion and now due to jealous factor he is trying to express his thoughts on the whole system which don't make sense at all.

He has tried to benefit himself by offering his service only and writing one sentence as a post on altcoin discussion board and thinks he has contributed well enough but still not recognised over the forum but didn't look at his post history for once also.

The art contest are for testing your creativity and if you are using some image generation apps for it then you don't have a chance to win or deserve to win at all because you are not even working hard for it and just submitting image generated by that app but contest are for original art only.But what I was saying above was there are some members who make 3D art themselves but not on big level.

Right junior member can post images on the forum but the problem @OP is facing is from the image hosting site which is showing the error as this happens sometimes or if the link is not embedded correctly it also shows the same error but that don't seems to be the case with @OP.

I was using imgbb from long time to host images before but in past few months there were problem with images not displaying and same invalid proxy error was showing which forced me to shift to postingimages.org which is really good alternative on my side and have never faced any issue then so advice to use it and can get direct links and many other types of Bbcode and is good site to host images.

Good that you are giving away merits as celebration on your birthday to low rank members but there are certain things which I should say about this particular thread of yours:

As said by @examplens above you only have 24 smerits to send across the forum and it would help 24 members in this thread if you dedicate all to them but can rise if you earn more by the time but what criteria you follow for the merits to be given? Like you are going to review all their post or simply reward anyone who reply here?

With the limited amount of smerits you have at this time you can simply dedicate them to some useful post on the forum as you will find lot of them here in this B&H board only instead of this thread and doing all the efforts as it will help you lot and no worries of hoarding the smerits with you.

With these unclear sets of rule you will see lot of newbies just spamming up the thread in hope of one merit only to rank upto junior rank member only so I think you should find the other approach in my opinion.
