That was actually a really good read, thanks!

If you are a merit source, then your merit page will come up like the below purple highlighted two paragraphs (though not really purple in real life) - noteably the difference in the second paragraph for merit sources:

>>>>>>>>You have received a total of XXXX merit. This is what determines your forum rank. You typically cannot lose this merit. You have XXX 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.

You are a merit source. The next XXX merit you spend will come from your source rather than your sMerit balance. Merit spent from your source will come back in 30 days. Unused source merit is wasted. It is not allowed for merit sources to sell their merit.<<<<<<<<<<<<

As you may recall, the merit system activated on January 24, and therefore it was thought that if merit sources spent their smerits, then those smerits would start to replenish into the merit source on about February 23 - however, theymos stated that he had run into some glitch in the way that he had programmed the replenishment of merit source merits - in essence the script or the algorithm was screwed up.  

It appears that theymos fixed that merit source replenishment glitch on about March 5, and replenishment of merit source smerits began again around March 5.

I didn't know about the glitch or any details of merit expiry, interesting stuff.

+1 WOsMerit

(I do have sMerit to give now, but you're a legend and a source, so it really feels like wasting the goods.)

After the merit system implemented, I did venture out there into the forum - outside of the WO thread, and it surely can be a scary place in which I bumped into a few things that maybe are not necessary to know regarding forum politics... - especially when it seems messy enough just to attempt to watch BTC price dynamics and the politics involved with BTC prices.. anyhow, there are a few things in the non-WO that I would not mind unseeing.

Surely personal discretion regarding how anyone spends their smerits, and merits are likely not only going to be used for ranking up since merits may end up displacing credibility aspects of the trust system in the future or establishing higher than Legendary ranks, perhaps?  Also, there can be some value with merits to identify relatively higher quality posts, too, perhaps?

better send some Smerit , running dry again

What name tag to wear?

Will we have to buy tickets on a per person or per username basis?

If we having changing booths round the walls, all four of us can attend. Then every hour the lights go out and we scramble into alt identities at the same time (in a kind of coinjoin manner).

Might need a whole weekend to get through everyone

whatever the price is doing for this moment and even if we face a longer bearmarket... i think it doesn't matter cause more and more people are believing and turning long term bullish on BTC-crypto (and profiting of buying under 10k)

its no problem @ all if people buying less for a few months , just those with long term vision and hodlers that are in and stay in wil get rewarded in the near future
so many upcoming millionaires in this threat 

but however its just nice to see in my social live the friends or peoples that i know entering the ship as well the many leaving the ship beeing afraid of that they don't understand

Do you realize we were talking about a $100K party?
0.5BTC would be $50K by then.... Quoting for posterity!

Oh, sheeit. LOL. I must have missed the "$100k Party" part.

$50k of booze in one night ? Is that even possible ? Without anyone dying ?

EDIT: Now, if the devils weed is legally available in Nevada, that could be fun doing $25k of booze and $25k of edibles/veggies.
EDIT2: Yep. Legal in Nevada. https://potguide.com/nevada/marijuana-laws/

 $50k for booze in Canada in one night is doable.  That's how we pay for our universal health care.
Let's not have the party here... unless we think somebody is going to require medical care in the aftermath.

Fuuuuuccck. It’s going up again.  I’m never going to have solid gold yacht at this rate.

Sure you will buddy. Look you just gotta realign your expectations a little bit.

Just ask Carlos Matos. There is no problem so big that it cant be solved by a positive attitude.


Soooooo did you guys see this? I was watching transactions live and the mother of all transactions scrolled by right before my eyes. In all my years of transaction watching I have never seen anything even in the same universe as this. It's was like going whale watching and seeing the occasional orca swim through I'm pretty impressed then cathulu casually strolls by. Thoughts? https://blockchain.info/tx/c875eb38c6bc141abd92a9014f985b72f5500f88e8722d29e1c8d274b738d744

It's 132 million dollars

Waoh! I never seen any transaction this big myself... I guess the confidence is getting back and people are buying into the dip already. Hope this will validate my earlier speculation about the price rallying back to 10k. Just been hopeful though.

Leads back to this address from early 2013 which had 30k btc . https://blockchain.info/address/1BadjLJqb2CB73t3ZJ296xrwhHNhyo5JaU
And further back  (2012) to this address which is a Bitcoin foundation address. https://blockchain.info/address/1BTCorgHwCg6u2YSAWKgS17qUad6kHmtQW

Then again! I wish I had the foresight of buying back at 2012... 10BTC was just $124. I could have bought like 50BTC then.. I would be retired by now. Just a wish. Lol

They paid 10 SAT per byte to send 132 million thats kinda nuts.   Could have added a little tip but ok.    Just an exchange moving its balance or similar I guess.    I'm not sure anyone bar the Winklebros brothers are that personally exposed without running it via a company


I see a wedge on the price.  Its only short term, just 1hr bars but also we are below a longer term trend (or just simply 200 DMA) so it might resolve downwards.   Expect more action (more volume ) outside of a break of this wedge then while it remains there I guess

If we could stay above this line, it would be great...
