What threads do you recommend for me? I'd like to contribute to a thread that people consider to be worthy of "Merit".
You can start by taking a look at Merit statistics here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats. Check out the top-merited posts, topics and users to get a feel of where Merit is distributed the most. |

Can anyone please make an English summary of what this article is about, for people who are too lazy to use Google translate  ? Thank you. |

Is there an ANN page for Zcash at bitcointalk?
Nope, the creators never created a thread on Bitcointalk. As far as I can remember, this has been the thread where ZCash has been discussed on this forum. |

There literally one guy holding 30-40% of all coins that will ever exist, who also happens to operate all twelve if the consensus forming and transaction validating nodes that collect all of the network fees. It almost couldn't be more centralized, so practically anything that's changed would increase decentralization.
This is a cheap comment - really... Well, not really, I think  . jwinterm is actually merely stating a fact, that doesn't necessarily mean they don't agree with the rest of your comment: The distribution of BB is not finished yet. The name of the dev is known to all - he can't hide... The distribution of the witnesses will follow in due course.
I also want to point out that everybody can hide regardless of how much info is publicly known about them. |

If anyone could post a link to an English article that explains the methodology they used to compute the different scores, I'd be grateful. Thx. |

I'm curious to know about the protokal on which this project should be based. it will be a POW or POS or maybe some other?
pow, I believe Neither POW nor POS. The tokens are all created at once (premined as some like to call it) and they will be distributed according to the percentage specified in Token allocation in the first post. |

will there be any news from the team? and in general, does the team plan to take any actions that will affect the price? can there be a new cooperation?
If we knew that the team intends to release specific news, they won't qualify as news ... Only the news teller knows and they will tell you when news are available. Byteball releases with bug fixes and new features are quite regular and products (bots, assets) are developed on top of Byteball. Nothing should be willingly done by the team to mainly influence the price. There is no way for anybody to know if a partnership is to be announced. You can only keep track of github issues to have an idea about what's coming in the next releases. So, don't expect willingly-price-moving news from the team and don't believe rumors. News are always announced here and on Slack by tonych himself. |

Why is this thread being spammed with video submissions? If there is a video contest going on, isn't there a specific thread for that? (If not, there probably should be.)

I am sure that Market.space is a very promising project. From how to prepare the look in the thread, can be taken conclusion
Don't base your conclusion on how the thread looks or on how anything looks, do some (extensive) research before you throw your money at something ... |

You don’t need merit to learn about cryptocurrency on this forum. You don’t need merit to do anything of value on this forum. You need merit to destroy this forum, and Facebook, and Twitter and anywhere else you can bomb advertise ICO’s and shitcoins.
While I do agree with the first sentence of that statement, it seems to me the second is a bit extreme. I mean, if merit is needed to destroy the forum, why do we even give it to people and help them destroy the forum? This seems to go against the very purpose of your thread, doesn't it? I'm a bit puzzled so I'm genuinely asking. You don’t need merit to do anything here except make money. Hell, there was no merit a year ago and people were using the forum just fine without it. I agree on that. (And this can be extended to the Rank.) If you read through the OP would have seen that I felt sorry for the genuinely decent posters that were already a higher rank and were screwed over by the merit system. I’m only helping them.
I actually did and noted that part where you expressed you wanted to help decent posters rank up, it just seems contradictory to me with the fact that you said "You need merit to destroy this forum". It almost sounds like "I want to help users rank up so that they can destroy the forum" . I know it's not the case of course, hence my comment on the destroy part being a bit extreme  . I do think your thread is a good initiative since it gives users whose Merit-worthy posts (according to them) don't have much visibility the chance to have them examined by you (and/or others) and to potentially get Merit for them. |

Finally, found what I was looking for. I have a question regarding the rankings table at the top. Its says that Full Member rankings are from 120 activity. I am currently sitting on 175 activity but I am still ranked Member. Can you tell me if this ranking table is outdated? I can't wait to get some full color in my signatures. I have been working really hard since joining Bitcointalk for that one perk. The rest will be a bonus  You could have quoted only the table you are referring to ... Quoting the whole first post just clutters up the thread and makes it difficult to read (at least for me). So, that first post begins with: So, in addition to Activity, you now need Merit to rank up. To become a Full Member you need 100 merit points. |

Increasing the period of the initial sale probably good or bad for each of his. For me personally, it seems the extension of the sale of tokens isn't a good idea. Well, everyone has their own point of view, of course.
They extended the ICO period because they didn't reach the soft cap ($15m). Why do you think it's a bad idea? What would be a better solution in your opinion? (Assuming that what they raised up until now ($3m+) might not be enough to launch the product.) |

Check out their new fraud called https://apla.io/ with the same team members looted in egaas and not another WTH they are thinking ? After the successful ico they just plan to leave the project and move to another ico ? This will also failed if they can even make the right things in this project what can we expect in the new project. They are not presenting Apla as a new project, but rather as a re-brand of eGaaS. They communicated about this quite a while ago. Not defending anyone here, just setting the facts straight. Of course I feel that the lack of communication in this thread and holders' inability to exchange the coin is at least disheartening. |

I am an investor, not a trader. my goal was to see the price of$1 in 2018. we won't even see the price of$0.5. and there is no profit in 6000%. to bitcoin only in 200%.
I love sia as much as the next person but doesn't the price of $1 put sia in a crazy high market cap? Is this even realistic? If this happens right now it will put it in third place on coinmarketcap with a $34bn+ market cap, not really that crazy compared to what we've seen other cryptos market caps reach ... However I personally don't see this happening this year unless some major breakthrough for Sia, bigger adoption or huge amounts of money flowing into cryptocurrencies in general. |

This is my idea and this for the name of chess game... A crowdfunding should be done to create a lichess like website with the integration of bitcoinchess or chesscoin in it. The crowdfund should be auctioned to everybody who wants to participate, but the website should already be functioning and etc. Every donor will vote to the best website that they like. Majority wins! The winner developer will win the crowdfund amount and will be responsible with the website maintenance and etc.
I don't know if there are many people who are prepared to work for free and risk not winning ... and even if they won, it's not certain how much. Maybe people who agree to be candidates to such a contest could manifest themselves? |

bitcoin is struggling in price, because it forks, then it fork again, then again another fork of a fork, not counting the copy coins. Then a lot of liquidity have gone to the new token, and another...
I don't thing so, before the first fork (Bitcoin Cash), the price of bitcoin rallied and altcoins tanked big time, after that a lot has happened, many forks were created, and Bitcoin reached its ATH. Bitcoin forks are not driving money away from Bitcoin, because, at least for the time being, the overall trend seems set by Bitcoin, in general when it goes up almost all go up, when it goes down almost all go down, of course if Bitcoin rallies we might see a negative correlation with alts' prices. New money is getting into the cryptocurrency space and cases where money migrates from Bitcoin to something else remain very rare and punctual, like for instance when Bitcoin Cash rallied and Bitcoin tanked, but that didn't last long ... Byteball will rise, there is no way to copy byteball wallet ...
There always is a way to clone or fork an open source code like Byteball's. |

yep...I see it going sideways at best for till the end of the year...my view is that mt. gox has to wrap up the liquidation from the trustee's point of view (for them to get paid
and done with the liquidation) by the end of this year....is my guess ....thus 1.9 Billion BTC to USD in the next 8 months that 'pig' has to be digested by the Bitcoin Python
can it be done, don't know...but if it can be and the price goes sideways..that is my best case...at the way mt. gox trustee always panic sells on exchanges directly and kills his
own price point, by the mass of BTC he moves, and always selling on the low/drop in price (panic sells)...BTC IMHO could go as low as 3k IMHO...
NOW IF ...the mt. gox trustees sold outside of exchanges (most likely the folk would hold) and stated they are going to move so much coin in increments on a time frame
till the end of the year at best manner possible...then perhaps..it would not matter and the price could go up...but with the cluelessness or just plain spite these 'banker connected' lawyers
liquidating mt gox have taken...I sometimes wonder if they are not making this a 'train wreck' just so when they go back to representing the Japanese banks they can show
they f*cked the BTC ecosystem as much as legally possible on this liquidation...
For a long time bitcoiner, you surely do seem to have a decent ability to buy into a lot of the mainstream media FUD regarding one factor that is supposedly keeping BTC prices down. Sounds like a lot of nonsense to me, because surely the GOX trustee does not have enough coins to meaningfully effect overall BTC markets - more or less a blip on the radar screen in the overall scheme of things. On the other hand, bitcoin does remain in a price correction situation, so yes, there is a certain amount of upwards momentum that is needed to break back into the 5 digits and to get the price momentum moving up, rather than either sideways or down. There is no doubt news are used to spread FUD for the benefit of those who want cheap Bitcoin. However the trustee does have a sizable amount of Bitcoins, he surely can wreak havoc on the market (at some extent). Here is a website that tracks what is supposed to be Mtgox addresses: https://www.cryptoground.com/mtgox-cold-wallet-monitor. You can also take a look at the trustee's report detailing his sales: https://www.mtgox.com/img/pdf/20180307_report.pdf. You can even try to find a correlation between what he sold and Bitcoin's price movement since its ATH. Anyway, I think it's important to be aware of these kinda things without necessarily leaving in fear, uncertainty and doubt. |

Before some weeks i saw a guy who got 48 merit just for a letter which was no way related to the topic discussed there . These people just get a few bitcoins and give merit to others and people whose content are of really good quality don't get merits
This is a particular case but it shows how this system is still misunderstood by many people (a guy lost his account, this post has nothing constructive) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2851296.msg36478531#msg36478531 I wouldn't qualify that particular one as a misunderstanding, many reasons come to my mind: - The user who sent sMerit is a friend of the one who received them. - They are both the same person. - One bought sMerit from the other. - A very big mistake the sender did. - <Insert other reason here> The system is not perfect and will never be, there are borderline cases, these cases could probably be dealt with at some extent though. |
