[DRCCommunity]

In order to be able to rate projects transparently by the community and professionals crypto needs a decentralized solution.
We are tackling exactly these kind of questions by rating projects with DRC using Blockchain Technology. DRC Incentives  the Community in conjunction with Professionals to assess projects and help create standards in crypto projects.


Distributed Regtech Platform (Abbreviated for DRC) is a professional and intelligent risk control and management platform based on blockchain, which sets up an “autonomous, mutually trusted, professional and transparent” distributed network for regulators, innovation projects and professional risk control agencies.

We have already created Due Dilligence Reports for Projects like IOTA and Bitshares

Thank you everyone for the contribution and detailed posts

Can someone explain the calculation of activity in terms of post and time spend online?

Thanks

It's really not that hard to understand .
You only get activity if you have posts , and you get max 14 activity per two weeks .(So if you don't have any posts you won't receive any activity and if you have posts , you will get max 14 activity per two weeks) . Now for what comes to how much it will take your to rank up etc .. then this should help you :

Code:

1 X 14 = 14
2 X 14 = 28
3 X 14 = 42   --  Jr. Member ( 1.5 month)
4 X 14 = 56
5 X 14 = 70   --  Member (2.5 month)
6 X 14 = 84
7 X 14 = 98
8 X 14 = 112
9 X 14 = 126   --  Full Member (4.5 month)

19 X 14 = 266
20 X 14 = 280
21 X 14 = 294
22 X 14 = 308
23 X 14 = 322
24 X 14 = 336

Instead of asking, you should try to read the thread (the answer to your question can be found on the first three lines):

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: Max 150 characters.
- Member: Links allowed. 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.

I have a Question, how do you go from being a newbie to a junior, if you can't post in the first place, is there some magic room I need to enter.  I'm trying to boost my status but no idea how to? I'm not sure if this place is ran by slytherin or Mark Zuckerberg, either way could some please give me merit so I can move up.  Signed lost in bewilderment and angst!

I have a Question, how do you go from being a newbie to a junior,

The answer is in the OP (that enormous thing you just quoted for no reason).

if you can't post in the first place, is there some magic room I need to enter.  I'm trying to boost my status but no idea how to? I'm not sure if this place is ran by slytherin or Mark Zuckerberg,

You can post.

either way could some please give me merit so I can move up. 

It is not permitted to beg on the forum.

7. No begging.

Carry on like that and you'll get banned.

You will be until you start reading things.

I've noticed that a couple of users now have sub-ranks such as "copper member" and "gold member". I didn't find any mention of these in the first post, and while examining it, I also noticed that the original poster has "global troll-buster" under their username. Anybody can shed some light on this? Thank you.

Copper membership can be purchased Newbies can now pay a small fee to enable images

The others you have seen are a 'Custom title'. The user can set it to read whatever they want. To get this you can donate 50 BTC and become a VIP, get a job as a global moderator or just ask nicely.

Is there other restrictions such as no image display/ image hyperlinks - on posting a thread by newbie? I am confused about limits on posting. Please help.

Thanks for this write-up.
Please how many times do i have to post to reach jr member. i dont understand the formula.

[SFR10]

Please how many times do i have to post to reach jr member. i dont understand the formula.

The least amount of posts you need to make is 25 (since you already have 5 posts & activity, across two activity periods) and those should be made until you enter the next activity period (biweekly):

- At least a single post on the next activity period (in case you max out or post more than 25 posts prior to reaching the next activity update)
- Next activity update is on "4/24/2018"

What is the meaning of that half blue coin under your name

[jhenfelipe]

What is the meaning of that half blue coin under your name

There's an equivalent number of gold coins to distinguish every rank and that 5 gold coins with half dark blue is for Legendary. Please read the main post for the complete info. Also to avoid asking more questions that were already answered there.

The PM system is incorrect, it says 5 PMS per hour but it only lets me do one and no more after that.
