Merit & new rank requirements

[adotrulez]

Your supposed "objective" post misses one of the problematic points about bitcoin.com and related sources of "bitcoin" information, and that is that it has been serving as an attack vector against bitcoin and part of a hostile fork through bcash and other efforts and various misleading attempts to cause regular folks to believe that they are the real bitcoin without disclosing that they are a minority hostile sabotage and attempt at a take over venture.  Take your allegedly objective propaganda bullshit somewhere else.

I just had a quick look at that dumb Bcash forum and the first thing I found is that for the recent Electrum vulnerability they just copied theymos' post from here. 

all this shows is prove you're nothing but a cheap loyalist to a defunct and currently dysfunctional system that may end up dwelling in past glory (like your rank will soon become)  if it continues to be blinded with this false sense of power and pride in achievements in cryptospace.

Don't let your legendaey rank in cryptoville make you feel like a king in the real world...

After a week now that this new merit system has been implemented.  It looks like merits are very hard to earn regardless of the quality of posts.  There should be more Merit sources that are more generous because right now earning a merit is like solo mining bitcoins.

Yes, because quality is subjective.  And also because it depends on the generosity of each individual. Smerits have turned out to be rare commodities, so some people will tend to save their smerits rather than freely give them out. Another observation is that posters sometimes have to expressively asked for merits if they like their post. So all in all, a new posting behavior has emerged.

Just my observation and thoughts.

Get the fuck out of here with your seemingly bitter and butt-hurt "loyalty" proclamations.  This is not about rank, either, so you seem to be getting a couple of things mixed up with your apparently foggy thinking and perhaps also your seeming inability to understand what various characteristics, including decentralization, that is secured by proof of work, that distinguishes bitcoin from other coins, including the shitty-ass attack vector that is also known as bcash.

Even though asking might become a practice of some, hopefully, asking does not either get rewarded or any kind of wide-spread practice, because I don't think that would have been an intended outcome in the long term, even though it could be a short term dynamic, perhaps?

I hope so too.  It's not the intended outcome I agree.

It does. Please read the very first post on this thread.

Urgent need to you read first page on this thread and everyone comments in this post.

[Alexmagn84]

I understand the new merit system. Thank you theymos sir . So now I increase my post and comments system. And I will get more and more merit.

Dear old-timers of the forum, please explain, but what about those who are not of such a high rank as you, just learn, begins to understand the topic of crypto-currency, for example I can't imagine how I can fill 90 likes from 90 people ... This isn't impossible, for those who thoroughly studied the market, bitcoin and others, of course it's easy, but this is not true in relation to beginners and people of low rank. Remember yourself, was it easy for you to start? Now it's a hundred times harder. About 70% on the forum new accounts, which in this way you will not allow to develop. I mean about these accounts, which really try and are constantly on the forum. Why doesn't the rank increase for the amount of time spent? I would have long been not a member

P.S: Sorry for my english, if something is not right written

It is not that hard to achieve. For instance, I myself got about 23 points after the merit system ( in a week or so). Good thing is that I still keep getting merit points on old posts as more members notice it. Provided I keep making such posts, I am sure that I will reach the next level in 3-4 months. I agree with you that it is now harder than it used to be in past but consider it as a sacrifice we all have to make this forum a  better place.

There does seem to be something that is not right written, but I cannot put my finger on it, exactly.

Wow, condescending and non-constructive.

Not really surprised. 

[cryptothief]

All part of the rising tide of Crypto I guess. Genuinely think it will work in the long run, just wish I'd got started earlier

Could be a ball or a strike, perhaps, but maybe we should check with PoolMinor to see what s/he/it thinks?   

Oh.  o.k.   Thank you PoolMinor.  That was helpful.


NOT.

I think you'll find it was Bcash that forked off before the technological advancements so they could dwell in the past.



Imagine where we would be if sticking a slightly bigger engine in a Model T had been the only advancement in motor vehicles over the last 100 years.

Don't let your legendaey rank in cryptoville make you feel like a king in the real world...

FWIW I'm a Sr. Member not a "legendaey" but rank doesn't concern me. From what I can make out so far 99.9% of the people complaining are here for the wrong reasons.

How to get more merit

[TheQuin]

How to get more merit

By learning to read a thread before posting in it. Always start at the OP. Also the ? character is useful when deployed at the end of a question.

[mjacer]

do i have to do my own post just to earn merit? or even if replying to a thread can earn merit?
