Where can I see my activity in the forum? I started a few weeks ago, to add images here is allowed?

For the moment you can't but as soon as you reach Full Member rank, you can do so by heading to your profile settings.

It's not a half coin, It's 5 gold coins and the half of the last one is dark blue. Same thing applies for moderators, VIP, Donator etc.

A sticky thread like this one you mean? You can't. If your thread is actually helpful and beneficial for the community then you could request from the moderator of the section to do it.

Good. I'm also always looking for these rank rulls. Somehow I thought that Full Member is not 120 msg but less.

[OmegaStarScream]

I think the donation cost should be lowered since 10 and 50 bitcoins is already overpriced unlike those years where bitcoin is not yet reaching $1000. Also, if I left an account with less than 10 activity count and left it for a year. Does the 14 activity potential per 2 weeks could stack so if you post something the activity count still adding up after a year?

The donation amount will remain as it is otherwise it wouldn't be fair for the members who donated. As for the activity, It's not going to stack. You must post at least once each two weeks in order to trigger the potential activity.

Thanks for this info, looking forward to not being a 'newbie'

I am so annoyed with this that I am wasting a post and will have to wait another 360seconds before I can post agaun    lol

The way activity is calculated:

The activity number is determined in this way:
time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)

Activity is updated every hour.

To become a Donator or a VIP, send a PM to theymos to get a unique donation address.


Took the liberty to update it according to the new Activity & new member limits/groups.
Edited with proper number of coins.
malevolent - update: added info about the new rank, changes to the Staff rank tag, removed the deprecated "SCAMMER" sub-rank. Also included info about the posting limits.

Signature restrictions

There are restrictions on signatures, based on your activity/rank.

- Newbie: No styling (including links) allowed. Max 50 characters.
- Jr. Member: Links allowed. Max 150 characters.
- Member: Unlimited length.
- Full: Color allowed.
- Sr. Member: Size allowed
- Hero: Background color allowed

Badges

I added a system of badges to SMF a while ago, though only two are defined now. Here are the current badges:

https://bitcointalk.org/Themes/custom1/images/badges/expert.png Bitcoin expert	Dev&Tech only. People with this badge know enough about the Bitcoin network to reimplement something very like it from scratch. They are capable of intelligently discussing the Bitcoin network: current protocol, possible attacks, proposed changes, etc. Criteria: Recommendation by an existing Bitcoin expert or core dev and approval by a forum administrator.
https://bitcointalk.org/Themes/custom1/images/badges/qt.png Bitcoin-Qt core developer	Dev&Tech only. These are the core developers of Satoshi's Bitcoin client. They are listed here. Core developers are among the top contributors to Bitcoin-Qt, and they are all bitcoin experts, though they don't also get that badge.
https://bitcointalk.org/Themes/custom1/images/badges/hacker.png The Glider(hacker symbol)	Awarded for people who have responsibly disclosed forum security flaws.

A core dev does not "outrank" a bitcoin expert (or vice-versa), and it's possible for someone without a badge to contribute meaningfully to a discussion with experts and core devs.

Limits on posting

Code:

waittime = 360;
if(activity >= 15)
        waittime = (int)(90 - activity);
if(activity >= 60)
        waittime=(int)(34.7586 - (0.0793103 * activity));
if(activity >= 100)
        waittime = max((int)(14-(activity/50)), 4);

Limits on PMs

I've adjusted the limits to make spamming more difficult.

Activity	Min. seconds between post actions	Max PM recipients	PMs per hour
0	360	3	5
16	74	5	30
30	60	5	60
60	30	5	60
100	12	10	120
200	10	15	120
300	8	20	120

Avatars
Full Member and up only.  
It must be no more than 120px wide, 80px tall, and 100 KiB in size. It must be a PNG, GIF, or JPEG image. It must be safe for work.

Thanks for the information, I had been looking for how ranks worked for some time.

[coinlawyer]

Can anyone answer me why my rank is  still Newbie, if I had already activity 31?

[Samkol26]

Please I have more than 30 posts and my activities stops at 28. May I ask what is the difference between the post and activity count.

Posts have nothing with Activity because now activity will increase on 7 November 2017 and then 21 November 2017 mean after every 2 weeks you need to post minimum one post during this period
