A moderator deleted my response to your post, which is strange considering it was directed towards my previous posts - Thank you for the links. Is there some sort of minimum post length required when thanking for a response which was specifically in response to another post?

Anyway, I absolutely know it’s possible to rank up with this system but it’s clearly more difficult for newer accounts, as to be expected. It is fascinating to see the changes throughout the years on this forum in terms of level requirements. It probably grew so quickly things had to be adjusted to keep up with the sheer volume of ‘whatever’ posts, trolls, spam..

Thanks for the insight, responses  and details.

The wall art is really well done! Did it seem like it was a plastic cut design or wood ..3D printed and assembled or ?

Something's getting in the way between those two steps. The pool settings looks correct at least on slush's side.
This might help, not sure.

There's a link to the request form. Someone with a bit more know-how should consider trying to get it listed.

With the price not being too far off, a GTX 1060 could be a good upgrade as well.

I was trying to follow what was going on with this account that was 'stucked' - even though you had a merit because your activity was below a threshold it didn't matter?

Some of these members shot up the ranks in seemingly record time. Looks like if you're somewhat active and don't beg for attention - and actually contribute to the discussion - you're on your way.

- You are noobs, newbies (lack of knowledge, and experience), so what you think are constructive most likely unconstructive in reality.

Reading back on some of my posts over the years on older blogs - Yeah. Definitely.
Still coming across as more of a student, I'm sure - however, trying. Probably should have been posting back in 2013 instead of lurking.

I know, I was mostly joking. It's pretty impressive to see anyone gain that well with the newer merit system. I'm not new to bitcointalk but I'm new to posting- including high quality content.

I see you're on your way to Hero status!
Although they say not to ask excessively, would you consider blessing me with a single merit point, in appreciation of your progress to Sr. status and in anticipation of your projected furthering of seniority?   
Thanks for your time.

I'd pay crypto to eat at a place like that, sure. A creative crypto-themed menu of dishes and side of hash?

Hold the alts, please.

Considering they found the block I'd say that's quite a realization already!

I’ve been down with some medical stuff but when back on my feet I look forward to experimenting with some set-and-forget kind of rigs. Probably like as I first mentioned - in stages of part time operation and finally full time and unmanaged.

Is this to read more like:

"Pirate DEX is a fast, secure and easy to use platform which we hope will quickly become your favorite exchange. We provide access to established crypto-currencies while also allowing you to discover and trade up-and-coming tokens and altcoins in a variety of different trading pairs."

?

Very true.

//Ha! That's awesome. I'm sure that so and so faketoshi would be thrilled!

Might want to ask Mihawk what he thinks about the Pirate DEX .. 

Paper. Wallets.

Also a hot laptop, and a cold laptop.

The cold one never sees the internet.

"It's either complete BS.. or it's going to be something huge." 

See the post I quoted just previously - add those nodes. It might help. Good luck.

Merit must be like one of those thing..
If you can't see it- it doesn't exist.
