I have 100 merit and 1 Smerit. Does this mean I can only like one post?

I gather this merit system was devised to make account farming much more difficult. Now farmers will have to work on post quality to rank up their accounts beyond Jr Member. Hopefully none of the people that are merit sources are also account farmers.

Legendary members don't need these merits because there's no point

Oh yeah ? I JUST GAVE YOU 10 MERITS ! WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT ?!?? HUH ?!

Let's see who runs out first. +11

We're not allowed to sell them, but uh, I have an address in my profile you can donate to.

[adaseb]

This is actually genius.

No more newbies posting irreverent  dribble to became a "Legendary" one day.

All we need now is 2FA..

You are in a tough position. Now you have to earn almost 500 more merit points to be legendary.

I think what yefi is trying to say is that before Swedish Mail has the time to deliver your card, one more SIM card has been made by someone else with their, say, laser printer (I'm faking the details here).

For all I know, it's entirely possible.

You mean like cloning?

The effect is similar, but it's different.

What they do is make a new SIM while forcing a fake operator transfer on you. I don't know how, that's why I faked the details.

Meh, I'm skeptical, how would they get my number on that new sim? The operators don't move numbers online/air over here.

all they need is your

phone#

IMEI#

serial#

But how would they get that? It would be easier to just steal my phone.

"You can only send 50 merit to a given user per 30 days. You have already sent 11 merit to that user."

Sheeit.

I wanted to blow my load on you.

Ran out too. Next month again. LOL.

Lame ducks: i tried to donate my merit to satoshi and i can't! = this is retarded ===>

Bitcoin Forum > Merit
You have received a total of 1 merit. This is what determines your forum rank. You typically cannot lose this merit. You have 0 sendable merit (sMerit) which you can send to other people. There is no point in hoarding sMerit; keeping it yourself does not benefit you, and we reserve the right to decay unused sMerit in the future.

Merit a post

Even the Weiss rating bullshit from today kind of demonstrates that either smart people do not understand bitcoin or they are purposefully engaging in misleading behavior...

How the fuck do they give Ethereum a B and bitcoin a C+ and Dogecoin a C...   Makes little sense, except that they are making shit up, and in the end, the fact that some of us can see through the bullshit, we are going to continue to invest in bitcoin and we will profit from such ongoing better than others insight.  In other words, some folks are going to get mislead by the bullshit that ended up coming out of the supposedly objective and professional Weiss rating system.

Calling this little piss ant ratings corporation smart people is beneath you JJG. Market makers and big money sent way more qualified(and discrete) individuals out to check out bitcoin long ago. Any claim by these people is suspect imo. I mean for crying out loud these are the same pond scum that caused the recession. While not exact its of the same tainted lineage.

The fact of the matter that bitcoin is getting a grade at all..let alone a C+ is absolutely amazing as far as I am concerned. I mean..think about it..this is the coin associated with mtGox..SR...numerous hacks ect ect.

I think that we are all learning about this, and I think that you are correct about the one spendable merit post that is based on your activity in the past year... something like that. 

It seems that each of us receive spendable merit points by however many we were initially issued and by earning merit points from others. So, if we receive two merit points, then we will have one spendable merit point to spend.

I think that only members who are designated as "sources" can earn more spendable merit points every 30 days based on whatever level of source was granted to that member.


Edit:  I got this wrong the first time around, so I tried to fix it to be more accurate... I am still reading through the merit points thread.
