I try really hard to be. Part of being reasonable means accepting hard truths sometimes. Anon136, a legend with 49/470 merit earned against 203/414. Over 4 times as much. Theymos's new ranking system indeed provides more useful information than the old. And prompt scouting is available, anyway.
Hey, mighty Theymos, do you hear us? We need more statistics, like "Imagination", "Magic Dust" or "Emep", which might stand for "Earned Merit per Eligible Post (ratio)".
Where the heck are you finding these stats? On my end it says I have 1049 merit. I didn't realize I was in some sort of competition with anyone anyway. I definitely never gloated about my merit or tried to use it to argue from authority or anything like that. So I don't know where all this is coming from. I don't think your scheme would work very well anyway because the best way to get merit is to tell people what ever they want to hear. I think you would find that the people who filtered to the top of your system were the people who stroked everyone off the best. Sorry if I came across a bit rude. Merit tends to approximate a popularity contest anyway, even without my somewhat more convoluted exclusion of old rank based merit. And yes, you're right it's easier to merit those you agree with. No one dimensional metric system is perfect. But pleasing just everyone is probably just as difficult, so even such crude measures do have some, uh, merit. |

The day will come when 0.1 BTC = 1 Lambo. And it won’t take hyperbitcoinisation either. 3 more halvenings ought to do it.
Give it 10-20 years before you can buy a Lambo for 0.1 BTC. Although we still going to witness the mother of all pumps, price escalation 100% guaranteed. Bitcoin keeps rising long after all people here are old and ore dead. My raw estimation is $10m-$100m per coin. Just save 1 ore more (youre cheapest) coins for youre retirement days, just in case. |

Np mate. It's all good. Roger went full retarded.
Agreed... I dont mind alt-coins but this is pure fraud.
As much as I wish it weren't the case, as much as I wish I could say "my bitcoin is the bitcoin and that is a fact" the question of which bitcoin is "the real bitcoin" will, unfortunately, always be a matter of opinion not fact.  |

They've been saying all year that institutions are getting into bitcoin.
They omitted that it is mental institutions.
WO thread is turning into a mental institution. You must be new here.  |

Someone give this man a deMerit^ I am not defending Ver and his trash coin. I am as adamantly opposed to BCash as anyone here. All I'm saying is that any argument that you make that one bitcoin is objectively "the real bitcoin" breaks down and fails. It's like saying my mac and cheese recipe is the one true recipe and only mac and cheese that is maid with my recipe is REAL mac and cheese. |

You already know the rebuttal to the bullshit that you are putting out there. Sure, currently there may be some semblance of a dispute about "what is the real bitcoin" because there is opportunity to create confusion and to suggest that the one with the lesser market value is going to take over. If one dominates, then 20 years down the road, the minority coin may have .1% of the market share, and they still might claim to be the real bitcoin, but they are not going to be under those circumstances, even if they still have a million or more supporters.. |

If you have any doubt there are 100,000 nodes which will tell you which is the real Bitcoin.

So if ver's fork had more nodes it would be the real bitcoin? Even though his ideas are total garbage? |
