Starting threads to try to generate meritable posts

[criz2fer]

My only suggestions would be to not advertise they can earn Merit, and see what you get. The responses may come slower but will probably be more genuine.

I agree, and I think most of the newbies could be a little overwhelm with the question.

I'm having problems getting replies as it is. I started another one about the difference between Scrypt and SHA-256 - maybe I'm getting too technical, but I thought that some of them might do a bit of research.

The first reply looks like a copy and paste with a credit, Hopefully it will generate a bit of discussion, but I don't want to merit a copy and paste. This is the latest thread btw

Maybe they are afraid of being nuke. IMHO, their research could lead to a copy paste manner because it also need a technical answer which are very limited in explanation.

Keep trying and keep it a little bit general specially for a newbie. Just my point of view.

I started the node thread to see if any new members are serious about Bitcoin. I installed core when I was still a newbie. Mind you, if I had to rely on public WiFi exclusively today. I would be a Hero member by the time I had synchronised the current blockchain.

It doesn't hurt to have a wide range from basic to technical; even in the beginners and help section. 98% of the newbies will have next to no clue about the more technical questions but you will find some with a background or who have already put in some research.

Yeah I've seen so many threads that are being started, as a complete copy/paste but with the source cited at the bottom. IMO this is barely below plagiarism, It's just as lazy but at  least they are crediting the content creator. I just wish they'd take a minute and read the article then try and put the info in their own words.

To much to ask; I know.

I think it is no problem and actually good for new members.  TMAN has been also making effort in the same line, asking questions and awarding merits, and found new nullius.

May be not. Actually somewhat disappointed by his definition of coinbase.
For Coinbase user wrote as below:
Coinbase– world’s most popular and reliable cryptocurrency web wallet.

I do not think nullius would write the coinbase definition as above.


Coinbase: A special field used as the sole input for coinbase transactions. The coinbase allows claiming the block reward and provides up to 100 bytes for arbitrary data

I don't think there is any harm in doing what you are doing, but, in my experience, most of the replies are likely going to be offtopic. I tried once, and the 99% of the replies were from users that didn't even bother reading the rules I clearly stipulated. Nevertheless, I did obtain a couple of nice replies.
When I did this, to be honest, I just feel it was pointless, and got angry anytime I saw they didn't even read the rules. But maybe you have enough patience!!
Maybe you can just advice that if someone don't read the rules of the thread, they will be directly into your ignored list  

EDIT. I actually had an idea... Why don't you create a post about the forum policies? I mean a kind of exam for newbies, in where they need to ask some True/false (maybe) answers to your questions or statements related to the rules in here. Maybe, by doing so, you can encourage them to go and read the rules for once

A few people have tried asking questions about the rules, and that doesn't seem to work either.

I was hoping that I could find a few new members who were actually interested in crypto, rather than fiat, and didn't just see Bitcoin Talk as a way to scratch a bit of fiat without doing any real work.
