How to get wallet.aes.json from blockchain?
Some people got their's when they checked their email accounts, try doing the same. There should be a search bar there which you can use for convenience.

I thought theymos adjusted some things. Did I understood this wrong?? I decided that the previous allocation was too unfair in this area, so everyone with activity >= 775 got 500 more merit if they didn't already have 1000 merit (and also Lutpin). No extra sMerit, though.
And according to this thread, The forthnightly periods are 1/16, 1/30 and so on

I got one answer per 3-4 weeks from blockchain.info support... And the answer is like "clear your cookies" You should by now know that you have a very slim chance of fixing your problem if you will just wait for blockchain.info's support. Follow what the other users says and import your wallet into another wallet preferably with electrum for easy process and decent security. Further instructions can be found here if you don't know how: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2822084.msg28907621#msg28907621 (This is importing via seed/recovery phrase) I don't see balance using blockchain.info API. What are you trying to do? Are you gonna import your wallet into another or If it's just checking the balance, pasting your address in any block explorers should be fine.

THE IMAGE CONTAINS SENSITIVE INFORMATION SUCH AS YOUR 2FA 16-DIGIT KEY AS WELL AS THE QR CODE PLEASE REMOVE IT FROM YOUR POST
EDIT: It seems like you need to enable your 2fa first before withdrawing, You can also use authy for that, they have a desktop version: https://authy.com/downloadWhile this could enable you to easily backup your codes, it wouldn't hurt to still save your 16 digit key or the QR code. Also, Be sure to encrypt your backups at Settings

Would you ever suggest buying one on amazon assuming the seller of it has a very good rating?
As long as the store is not listed on ledger's official retailers ( https://www.ledgerwallet.com/retailers) I won't suggest buying from it even if it has a 5 stars all over it. According to the link above^, All official stores in amazon has also run out of stocks so the others are mostly self-proclaimed official retailer Your options are: 1. You could try ordering in their official site and wait for March or so. (Personally, I don't mind waiting as long as the product's safety is guaranteed) 2. Look for an official retailer although the odds are they have also run out of stocks. 3. Alternatively go for trezor: https://shop.trezor.io (They are offering priority shipping = https://blog.trezor.io/shipping-during-the-holiday-season-22b6077d7ebf )

sMerit per user is finite, unless you're a source, so selling sMerits now will just stop sooner or later because they'll ran out of sMerit quickly. Thus the sMerit sales is not a big concern at the moment.
I do understand that sMerit is finite and soon they will run out of sMerit, but what about those who have multiple accounts. They will still manage to abuse the system and it will be hard to track these users, though DTs are doing excellent job. That also applies on account farmers (has multiple accs) since sMerits can only be gained by obtaining merits through constructive posts so unless they're producing one it'll also run out. Sure they could just spread the merits on their alts but for every 1 merit only half of it will be sendable (sMerits) so it will eventually run out after a few rounds. Also, Merits are publicly displayed so I don't think it'll be hard to track...

I just noticed that you can't read. is this new? What exactly is this for. Anyone mind explaining this to me?
It's unbelievable how you didn't notice the huge amount of "merit" threads here

For source 1 and 2 there is no problem.
People who became merit sources are reviewed by the higher ups and deemed to be "qualified" with their specific criteria and being a VIP/Donator doesn't necessarily mean you fit those For source 3 (3b = members trusted by source 1) it should be no problem also).
Could be another way to look for a source For source 3 (3a = copper member) : it may be a problem and it could be abused if spammers are willing to pay ~$20 for every account to have 2 sMerit points every month which will take them several months to allow 1 account to rank up (unless of course they will pay for dozens even hundreds of accounts). This copper member story could be even limited to higher ranks only. Theymos could create a silver member for example having this feature and exclude copper member from sources.
While this merit system could really halt account rankings, It is not the main purpose of it. The idea is to stop people from shitposting and account farming which can possibly stop or decrease to be precise, if people can only gain sMerits by creating quality posts.

Can we only get Merits by high quality posts? Some random ideas, maybe we can add more ways to get merit, for example, complete certain tasks, stay online for a certain amount of time, etc. Think of it this way, The main purpose of this merit system is to encourage users to create quality posts/posts that actually contributes. How are we gonna do that if you can get merits without creating quality posts?
|
|
|
Aside from the pre-generated ones, sMerits should only be gained by getting merits for every high quality posts because if it is replenishable over time, it will just create an opportunity for account farmers to spread merits through their accounts without creating any quality posts.
Of course I'm talking about the users who are not "merit sources". Merit sources are reviewed by the higher ups so it's fine.

Anyone ordered it recently to the US can tell me how long it took?
I see that you've already asked this on December last year and if you're still waiting for an answer before ordering, you might wanna drop that idea now. If you're gonna buy the Nano S, They are currently on pre-order basis and shipping will start on March but it will still depend on when did you made your order since they are doing this on batches and not to mention, there's also a price hike The ledger blue on the other hand is out of stock now.. This all happened after the ledgers received a huge demand last year which will probably increase as bitcoin receives more attention If you're interested in ledgers, Make an order as soon as possible because if you do, your waiting time will slowly decrease as the day passes by which on the contrary does not apply in waiting for an answer to "Anyone ordered it recently to the US can tell me how long it took?" You might also wanna look on your authorized local retailers: https://www.ledgerwallet.com/retailers

That won't work for me. I'm a selfish bugger, and I've only got a few points to give away. They will go to people who help me regardless of their status. For example, if I want to set up a node on a Raspberry Pi, then a newbie could have a lot of Pi experience and make valuable contributions, and he should be rewarded for it. Alternaively if a poster states "My dog prefers Strawberry Pie", then he should get nothing, under the old system he would have got an activity point.
You and I may not have much sMerit to give. But from the way I've seen some folks throwing it around, that's not true for everyone. My guess is, the distribution method isn't going to end well: The supply implications (e.g. decay and how actively people use the merit system) also aren't obvious. So, even if people do use them as intended (as a reward for quality posts), we don't know how well-distributed they will be. For example, it's theoretically possible that once the initial sMerit awarded yesterday is mostly spent, that sMerit mostly circulates within limited social networks that revolve around merit sources. If the post is really worthy to be merited, I don't mind. And the system allows you to gain sMerits if someone merited your posts so even if a large portion of merits are sent to merit sources they can just give the sMerits they gained to other people. But the distribution is really an important question. I think we should have a designated boards for every N number of merit sources just like we have a specific moderator/s for every board. They should still have the power to give merits in whatever board but only after they've finished doing their rounds on their designated boards. At any rate, We'll see how efficient the distribution is after a month or two so let's give it some time first

If you feel like something needs to be added to this, feel free to put your suggestion here or pm me and if I think your suggestion is helpful i'll add it
Since you're stating all the possible cases in signature campaigns, you should also add What happens if a user is put on SMAS blacklist and that fact that most managers have their personal ban list etc.... And yes with a thread link if possible. Lastly, This is an excellent thread that should be read by every people who are in a campaign or planning to join one so adding a hyperlink of this in your campaign threads will be great.

It's one of the main flaws I can see is that merit sources are too few, it would be better to have more sources but with less to distribute per source, at least then there would be greater coverage across the forum
More sources plus less sMerits to distribute? It's just the same as we have now if you think of it and theymos already stated that merits are supposed be scarce but not too much. IMO the problem is not the number of merit sources but the boards that will mostly get reviewed. Believe it or not some boards are really popular which will most likely get attention. also the fact that many will be inactive for one reason or another.
You can't be a merit source if you're inactive. People who apply gets reviewed. It would also be nice in time if there was some way for people to nominate either themselves or others for merit if they feel they are worthy and are not being recognised for their contributions.
You can sort of nominate yourself: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.msg28856522#msg28856522

But how do the merit sources work anyway?
For instance If X became a merit source, Is it as simple as digging up to look for quality posts in whatever board he wants? or will he be assigned on certain boards?
Because there's still a possibility that a significant number of merit sources are focusing too much on A,B,C,D boards (generally popular) leading to overlooked boards (E,F,G,H).

How would I find this seed ?
It's your recovery seed which you can find on Settings --> Security --> Wallet Recovery Phrase --> Backup Phrase. Please note that imported address(es) are not included in your seed so if you have any, you have to import them individually although it'll be best to just send them through a transaction.
|
|
|
How many words does your seed have? If it's 12 you can import it in another wallet such as electrum (recommended for easy process and security)
