Bitcoin Smith is the only individual who has submitted his topic and also requested an extension. I am going ahead and extending this competition till the 15th of this month. I am not sure why no one on this board is creating topics as they used to be. When you have a chance to win Bitcoin before the bull run for free, you should participate in such a competition. @Parvati_j you have still time and for others who are active on the local board you have this wonderful opportunity. None of the other local boards give such an opportunity.
I have updated the OP.
If lack of merits is the factor then that should not be a problem here on. Let people show a little bit of activity with well thought out and useful posts.
I also sent some merit to you @pakhitheboss so you can have sMerit top-ups. Lets get this wagon rolling. Would love to see who bags the prize. i would say that keep extending the competition till we have some good traction. I can help top-up the prize pool when this one ends.
@amishmanish thanks a lot for again being active on the local board. Yes, lack of merits is a big issue to keep this small crowd of active members motivated. You can check the stats of the local board posted by Bitcoin Smith every month. November has been very bad for the board and I am expecting the

November has been very bad for the board and I am expecting the same outcome for December, which will be out by the end of this month. What we need is an active merit source who can spare some time and spread the merits on posts or topics that are up to the standards of Bitcointalk. If not them I can be someone who can send you through DM the list of posts/topics that are suited for merits.
When @Heisenberg_Hunter was active we did see a rise in activity here and we were very happy as a community. I am aware of the reason why he is inactive now and in the meantime, you can look into the situation of merits on this board. I have tried my level best to get the child boards also active apart from the main board.
