Holy shit, we have Merit and sMerit now? How do we pump this?

I tried to merit you that comment. But I'm out of merit points. Is there a shop?

When is the fork of these meritcoins and will there be another airdrop?  

meritCash is the real merit...

I think JJG..that you are in the same or near the same place I feel I am at. where these "stresses" are becoming less and less relevant.

Frequently, I attempt to think about my profits in conservative ways and also my costs in generous ways, but even if I give those benefits of the doubt, I still have profits that are way beyond what I would have been happy with, minimally.  So extra profits that are like icing on the cake.  I would have been happy to average 6% profits per year, so even with my down years, and various mistakes that I have made, I am easily averaging over 4x per year... that would be 400% per year.    Therefore with so much greater equity than expected, it becomes much easier to go into a kind of zen place.

I see them as applied gaming theory.

There are surely fun ways to look at this whole bitcoin matter, and I have been learning a lot - even when I get some of the predictions wrong.

Bitcoin kinda brings out a highlanderish thing...I will be the(most) only one with coin! amiright?

I'm not sure if I think of it like that, but I do feel some kind of insight regarding bitcoin and there seem to be so many smart people who do not seem to understand what differentiates bitcoin from other cryptos and from other asset classes.  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.

I mean..we have to keep score somehow.

I think that subliminally I may be on the same page.  I try to tell myself that I am not competing with anyone except for myself, but I do get some feelings of self-righteousness when I see some failures coming from some of the other more centralized projects that are trying to elevate themselves to bitcoin status or bitcoin 2.0 status.

What is that and how does it work?

It's obviously a meritocracy, of sorts.

I just gave you a merit point for that. Figuring this thing out as i go along.

Your bitcointalk member rank is frozen until you get enough merit points plus activity points to move up a level. People can send you merit points to "like" your posts.

Look at the upper right of a post for this merit link and click it to send someone merit points.



If nobody likes your posts you can't move up to the next member rank.

Ok I checked here and you can move your phone number to another phone company, but they will send you a new sim card with the number. So no magic online stuff. Would that not be a good way to get rid of the scamming in the rest of the world.

The number is being rerouted to a new sim, I don't see how this protects you. Most countries have signed up to mobile number porting, and the switch will be done on a back-end database.

They will physically send you a new sim with your old number. So even if someone else somehow get hold of your digital bank ID and manages to move you to another phone company that company will send the new sim with your old number to you physically trough the royal Swedish mail, (or one of their private competitors).

(Try my hand at this too.)
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.

So this range-bound wash trading is very interesting. It seems that for whatever reason, the futures market is intent on controlling the price within a narrow bound.

Good thing, or bad?

Meh. Of course, we all want moon. But scraping consistent profits in a sideways market doth not exactly sucketh.

Guys, I need to know if the price is going to go up or down over the next 48 hours. Please, this very important!!

the price is going to go up and down over the next 48 hours

Contrary to popular belief we are not able to foresee the future in this thread.

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.

There's always someone who unequivocally states he can foresee the future, then gets it wrong.

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

Legendary members don't need these merits because there's no point, so if we just merit each other, it doesn't really change anything. But I'll HODL all the merits I can get anyway. Argh, you can't spend them once you get them.

[Biro Bob]

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

[bones261]

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.

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

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

[jojo69]
