what will happen to the merits that have been given to you if ever the post that have been merited has been deleted?

Merits stay even if the post is deleted, but there is a public Merit page - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=370611 so you can see from whom and for what each user has earned their merit.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2843383.msg29166442#msg29166442

I've given this post Merit, because while I'm sure this information has been posted around before, it is a helpful starting point and of much higher-quality than the other discussions happening on that board. Mega-threads are the death on Bitcoin Discussion, it gets so boring so quickly.

This, unfortunately is why I won't be giving merit to any of these threads, I believe all of them to be in mega-threads where nobody is having a meaningful conversation, adding anything interesting or saying something unique. These threads should be left to dry-up and die; same old conversations and same old people copy + pasting.

here's my post:

I don't think MACD and RSI are good indicators within the cryptocurrency market, until it is corrupted in the same way that Forex has been; this very well may be the case with futures, but as of right now traditional trading strategies just don't work. I won't be giving merit for the thread asking "Is bitcoin going up or down?" as this is the single most annoying question that is asked every 15-seconds. I'm not going to be giving merit for any of these posts, because at best they are situational, helpful to the OP and maybe a couple others, these people should give you merit.

Not sure if there was a max ammount of posts i could link... Thank you!

Until I believe people to be abusing my service, there is no "limit", but if you spam a wall of links, I'll probably just delete your post.

Your suggestions for improving security are not that well thought out in my opinion; theymos has certainly considered these options, but have your considered that adding all of these other protocols may introduce newfound vulnerability? There is no reason to be alerting everyone when they log-in from a different IP address, as this is just simply how most people use their accounts. Paying extra to use Google Auth, sounds absolutely horrid. The other question about Indian exchanges should get you merit from Indian users, assuming it is actually helpful to them. Lastly, the "Spot a good ICO" has been a thread made at least a dozen times in the past day and everyone gives the same answer that you've given. While it is true, it is not new, helpful or high-quality, IMO. No merit for these posts.

No Merit for these posts, and I won't be giving more effort in my review than you did in your post (oh wait, already have done that)

This will take you a lot of time, so i really appreciate.

It certainly is taking a lot of time, more so than I had assumed from the beginning.

The one post is talking about joining signature campaigns for earnings and such, and so I will not be giving you merit for that post, and the other post is simply answering OP's question. This should/would get you merit from OP and anyone else that is looking for that answer, I see you've gotten some merit in that respect so there is no need for me to merit this.

None of these deserve merit, and I'm honestly a little confused why you even bothered to post them here, but I don't mean to be harsh; I've had much worse. Again though, if you believe to have helped someone specifically, then you should expect merit from that specific person.

I have given these threads Merit, because it was not the same old nonsense as you usually see. You directed a newbie to the search bar, instead of just feeding into the shitpost mega-thread they are trying to create. You gave some really solid investment advice, from your own perspective, in a very concise and helpful manner in respect to what they were asking.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2832409.msg29056037#msg29056037

I'm not a YoBit member, so I found this post "alienating", in that it doesn't help me in the slightest. It might be a merit-earner from other YoBit users or people that find this helpful, but I personally do not.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1816154.0

I unfortunately cannot give merit to this thread, because I cannot read it or understand it in the slightest. While I am willing to look at local-threads, I have to be able to read them in order to determine whether or not they deserve merit; the default assumption is that they do not deserve merit, until they've earned it in my opinion. I would suggest seeking merit from those that can actually read the thread.

Hi, I'm doing it again!
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2845776.msg29194693#msg29194693

Feel free to come back and use the service time and time again, you are one of the few lower-ranking members that actually has discussions worth having (from what I can tell from your submissions in this thread). I have Watched this thread, because when I get time I plan to involve myself in the conversation; I really like the conversation about "Stable" crypto, the purchasing power, volatility and comparison to fiat. You've earned Merit for this post.

[TheBeardedBaby]

I do almost the same thing with my sMerit points in the beginners and help section but I'm reading all the posts and report the spam .
Let me try your service. I'll just post two posts.

My suggestion for changes in the Bounty section, looking for different opinions too : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2827369

The bounty suggestions won't be receiving merit, because I believe it to be a flawed idea. I appreciate the thought you've put into it and the intentions that you seemingly have surrounding the idea, but I've merited SFR10's post in your thread, because they outlined my concerns for your suggestion perfectly.

My informative post for the newcommers : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2534500.0

I have given you Merit for this thread, and apparently I am not the only one that feels the same. This is something that was definitely "needed" as it's going to help a lot of people figure out their requirements/thresholds for ranking up. I really like the post, if I get time I'll try to help you find bugs or make suggestions.

Thank for giving a change to everyone to get merit sir. i have some that i think it worth to receive some merits, Please take a look, Thank you.

None of these deserve merit, in my opinion. One is in a mega-thread and only repeating the same information that has been said dozens of time in that same thread. One is a rambling post about ICOs, but doesn't really have any helpful information or insightful opinions. Then the last is an uninformed single sentence that EcuaMobi replied and informed you that nobody suggested what you are refuting. I don't believe any of these posts have helped anyone in anyway, except maybe learning what not to post.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2771683.msg28331661#msg28331661

None of your posts that you've submitted will be receiving merit from me either; it seems like there are other users that have found your posts to be helpful so that is your saving grace. They have and will continue to grant merit for people like yourself that help them specifically, but as I said it is just too situational and I do not find it personally helpful so I can't feel justified in handing out merit to these. As far as giving merit to that other user for their thread they have started, I did not give them merit either, but I went ahead and followed the rabbit-hole over to LoyceV's thread about the same thing and gave that a merit : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1926895.msg19121647#msg19121647

Your first post about deflation is pretty high-quality and deserving of a Merit, I think. While I disagree with a couple of the things you've said there, like deflation is disincentive for borrowers/investors. I do like the thought that went into it and I agree with more than half of it, regardless it is very thought-provoking and it is the kind of conversations that I used to see around here a lot. We need more in-depth conversations about cause, effect, implications, economics, direction, theory, etc. I really like the chart that you brought to the table for the discussion about bankers killing cryptocurrency. Again, I think we come to different conclusions and interpret the data differently, but I have never seen a chart that quantifies things so concisely and in a comparative manner such as this. Your posts make me think and consider things that I have neglected to, it is quite fun. I type this as I review each new post, but it looks like you scored a 3/4 with your posts here and moreover you seem like an interesting user to have a back-and-forth with on these kind of topics. You are informed enough where you don't seem triumphantly naive or arrogant, you simply are there to have conversation and it isn't the same boring dribble we normally see from lower ranking members.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2838058.msg29320941#msg29320941

This is the only post I didn't throw you merit for from your submissions, just because it doesn't feel very "helpful" or something I would give merit for; while I agree with what you've said in the post, I just don't feel like it deserves merit.

What do you think with The link to my post this one sir?

These posts are the 40th and 100th+ reply to a thread and they offer no new information, they seek to respond/reply to nobody that has said anything in the thread. You are simply typing up 2-3 boring and dull sentences and throwing it on a deep page of a thread to hope it never gets read, but still somehow gains you merit. This is not a reality and you will have to dig inside yourself to have a more meaningful conversation that this, not high-quality or helpful in anyway.

I've had to delete multiple posts that were just spam in this review-round, please do not post local-section posts that I cannot read. They won't get merit, and they won't be left in the thread; if you want merit for these threads, let them stand on their own or go to a similar thread to this in your local section.

OP should merit you for answering a Binance question, I don't see how that is something I would want to merit; not helpful to me, the community at-large or high-quality by my standards. The Twitter Re-audit has nothing to do with bitcoin, development, blockchain or anything else that we even do here. The only relevancy twitter has to this forum are the terrible bounties that pop-up using twitter as their platform of choice. It is not helpful, but you can expect merit from the people you are actually "helping". Your last post is the 879th reply to an ICO and the only thing you do is ask a question that's already been answered and said "Thanks." No merit, and I feel like you've intentionally wasted my time.

My top 3 suggestions are in bold.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2570750.msg27758869#msg27758869 and some others.

Since you have flooded me with your posts and were kind enough to point to which you believe to be your strongest posts are I have only reviewed the posts in bold and I am not impressed. These aren't high-quality or helpful posts, and if you do believe them to be helpful then ask for merit from those you have helped with these posts. Try to submit only a few of your very best posts for review, because you are not going to get merit for posts like this.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2822349.msg29032142#msg29032142

I've given you merit for this post, because you are right higher character count != higher quality post. It seems like you're not just posting for the sake of posting in this thread and you honestly are sharing your thoughts, which aren't completely without nuance and insight.

while the quality of a post has nothing to do with its quantity of length.

I do have to disagree with you on this though, while using more characters doesn't necessitate that your post is of higher-quality there still certainly is some correlation between character count and post quality (albeit subjective, at best). For example, there will never be a quality post with only a single character. Therefore, it cannot be the case that post-quality has "nothing" to do with character-count, because there is a minimum even if there is not a maximum.

Unfortunately I did not find the rest of your submitted posts to be as compelling, however I would encourage you to submit more of your posts, because you definitely have it in you to have these high-quality, fun and nuanced conversations.

Congratulations, you've submitted more posts than anyone in this thread to-date. In my opinion, none of these deserve merit from a 3rd party such as myself. A lot of these posts are either answering a specific person's question, correcting their misinformation or simply responding to a "funny story" thread. These are not universally helpful or high-quality, in my opinion. You should expect merit from the users you help, intrigue, make laugh (maybe) or something of that vein. These posts have done nothing for me of that sort, so for now you go without merit from me.

Again, only submit your best posts, you more than likely do not have a dozen posts that deserve merit, unless you are really special.

[bill gator]

This is the problem with merit though... even if you post helpful info to OP you still won't receive merit from them, at least in most cases

It is not a problem. There is something called "Altruism" or even "Common-Decency"; you're saying the problem with helping somebody is that in most cases you aren't receiving something in return? My advice: Get over it. If you are helping people only to expect some unspoken reward for your false-kindness, then you aren't helping people at all, you are trying to manipulate them. This thread is not for these discussions anyways.

Wait, so if I give a link to a thread I have used to sell things and it has gone well, I will receive merit? Very confused.

No. Go read about Merit, how it is intended to be distributed and what it's purpose is. Marketplace feedback and Merit are two different things.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2827352.msg29309747#msg29309747

I can't understand what you're saying in this post at all, but it does seem like you are whining about not receiving merit. This is not deserving of merit, it is not helpful, and you are contributing nothing to the discussion at-hand. It baffles me to think that you sat there reading through your posts and decided "this one, this is the one!" No merit, improve your post-quality and try again.

you didn't put any rules if someone could post a link in local board
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2841310

There aren't really very many rules in this thread at all, but I have addressed the idea of local-threads within this thread many many times. It would seem to be common-sense that I cannot merit posts that I cannot understand or read, otherwise this would turn into me just meriting any foreign post or all posts. You very well may deserve merit for this post, but I will leave that to those that can read it.

The bitcoin commandments seem to just be a Copy + Paste of Investment/Trading guidelines with a couple of words changed around. I'm not saying these are bad guidelines or suggestions, but I do believe this information to be widely available. I have seen threads almost exactly like this one in the past, literally a list of 10-"commandments" that are almost identical to yours. The Bitcoin trading starter pack is also this way, with information that has been posted thousands of times by many different members. I have no doubt this will help certain people that stumble upon this and none of the aforementioned threads, but for this I would say you can expect merit from those users and not myself. Lastly, your "What if" thread I do not find compelling or interesting, because it lacks a lot of, well, everything. It just isn't an interesting conversation to have, given the current parameters you've set-up. I'd like to give you merit, but these fall flat for me.

I agree, everyone should know this about Bitcoin and wallets, but do you think you are presenting new information? There are already age-old posts with this information circulating around, simply point users in that direction when they are having trouble in this area. There is no need to repeat information and make an entirely new thread for information that's (probably) not new for anyone, especially if they've ever used the Search function. Your other post is the 1633th reply in a mega-thread where you rattle off what you think are benefits of Bitcoin. That isn't even close to deserving merit, it is literally one of the worst kind of posts that exist here. Stop posting like this. I will never give you merit for this kind of thing.

Seems like you're right, some of your posts do deserve merit. I have given each of these posts a Merit, because they are short and sweet. They give the OP what they are looking for without all sorts of extra fluff, without beating around the bush and without giving them an emotional story or misinformation. I didn't even know bitcoins could be sent to the same wallet, I assumed it would just throw an error and maybe some exchanges wouldn't have an error_exception programmed for it. So many people get all worked up about why bitcoin's price falls and climbs, and normally I wouldn't give merit for speculation on this kind of thing, but honestly I think you hit the nail on the head. MEW, as you said, can't be a "scam" unless the person responsible for their private-key is irresponsible. Even this being the case, doesn't make it a scam, it just offers the user the freedom to control their security in whichever manner they see fit; if you want to be vulnerable they will allow you that freedom.

The Jr. Member campaign question is just a question being answered, even though I really like your answer, it isn't really helpful to me or anyone other than the OP. I wanted to give the Small Island Nations post a merit and I still might later, but for now I have "Watched" the thread and might hop into the conversation. The entire point of cryptocurrencies is that they are not centralized to one geographical area or government, so having each nation with their own coin would be completely nullifying and mind-numbingly difficult or no benefit.


* I do not understand why people put so many Line-Breaks, Returns, Enters in their posts, it makes it so obnoxious to quote and I always have to cut it down to size; stop trying to take up as much space with your post as you possibly can. You are like tourists on the sidewalk that attempt to form a blockade because they want to pretend they're more significant than they are.

I like the fact that some members like you are coming forward and rewarding good posters rather than punishing low quality posters. I think rewards are a much better way for improvements rather than punishments. I am linking some of posts for review. I accept that my posts are not of high quality, but I do try to help when I have knowledge about a topic. For example I am pretty active on Steemit topic, as I myself use Steemit.

Hi again Bill and thanks for your time.

Whenever you have some time, I wrote some posts this week, maybe these three are worth a look:

(here this is a personal opinion of Ethereum): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2860261.msg29353838#msg29353838
(opinion on comparing Bitcoin to fiat money): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2856658.msg29360424#msg29360424
And this one > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2843860.msg29379088#msg29379088 it is a short post but I believe it replies exactly on point, and OP was satisfied with my suggestion.

Thanks again for the service, really appreciate it.

[Pan Troglodytes]

Hi and thanks for doing that! I am really trying to write something of value but for some reasons I don't get merits, it feels a little (a lot?) discouraging. So if you tell me that it is worth at least some merit, it will mean really much to me.

Here are the posts I would like to ask you to have a look at. I think they were meaningful and helpful, and especially the first one:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2690981.msg27494714#msg27494714
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2752843.msg28571872#msg28571872
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2815706.msg28881048#msg28881048 (with a good reception from junoreactor-his post just below)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2849365.msg29238605#msg29238605

Also my posts sometimes caused the reaction and involvement of many members into a good discussion
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=766000.msg28953185#msg28953185 and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=766000.msg28962238#msg28962238 and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=766000.msg28965409#msg28965409
(I even merited crax0r for his insights there with my only smerit )

Thanks again!

I have given this post a Merit, because many people are being scammed, frustrated and confused by transaction accelerators. It does not seem as though many people understand their options or what the dangers even are. I would have liked to seen more information regarding this child-pays-for-parents transaction. Instead you offered a lot of background, which is helpful in its own way, but I think people are really interested in the technical side of this. If you have more information to add to your OP that would maybe bring in more merit, and help many more people.

The rest of these were mostly in that "Finding Satoshi" thread or just regular ole' conversation about raising kids. I think you're incorrect and way off about the bitcoin expense and transaction fees. I very regular use bitcoin and never pay over a couple dollars for a transaction. If it is merit you seek, try to be more universally information/helpful, like the one thread I have merited, but even more information.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2858731.msg29342049#msg29342049

Unfortunately I don't see this post as deserving merit, however I do see it as deserving conversation so I have "Watched" this thread and plan to reply/respond when I have some extra time to do so. It is a conversation I would very much like to have, because I agree and disagree with you at the same time and would like to delve into this more in-depth. I want to just make it extra clear, I do not merit threads I "like" or "agree" with, I don't even merit good conversational threads. I simply merit those that I believe to be universally helpful, informative, high-quality or beneficial for the health of the forum in general. I think this post is very good, just not deserving of merit if that makes sense.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2791245.msg29347865#msg29347865

I have given this post Merit, because even though it is buried deep into the thread it is still a conversation going back and forth between many people. You provide sage-advice, and anybody following your post would be more secure and better off with their crypto-security as a whole.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2791245.msg29376785#msg29376785

The other post is obviously just an extension of that and a continuation of the conversation already at-hand. I won't be giving you an additional merit for this post, but know that I am following the conversation and will be providing additional merit where I see fit.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2859907.msg29353211#msg29353211

This is helpful to OP, but not necessarily anybody else so I won't be giving you merit for this post. I won't be giving you merit for this post, but OP and maybe anybody else wondering the same question should give you merit. It is informative to those that are wondering the same thing and I'm sure you didn't provide any misinformation. This post just barely falls short of earning a merit, because if you were to include how to calculate lowest fees, or where they maybe could find more information on how to "safely" and efficiently use the lowest fee for their circumstance then it would be more universally helpful and merit-able.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2751296.msg28102582#msg28102582

As far as I know these accounts are illegally acquired/generated. I doubt you have some 5-star agreement with Netflix that allows you to be a re-seller of their service. This being said, I cannot merit a thread I believe to be operating illegally, selling accounts fraudulently. If you can somehow prove these accounts are legitimate, not owned by another person and are perfectly acceptable by Netflix's standards and from a legal stand-point then I will grant you merit.

The post about determining whether or not an ICO is going to be a scam is incredibly high-quality in my opinion. Obviously you could have put more information and gone overboard with your in-depth analysis of exactly what to do and so forth, but you are giving real criteria and real ways to examine an ICO or project for it's feasibility. You aren't just giving the same old "Research the team" answer, you honestly are talking about reading the whitepaper for the function of the project, avoid money-grabs that talk about strictly trading, etc. I enjoy that you practically explained the use cases and practical examples of very interesting projects using DAPP theory. These posts have received Merit from me, simply because they deserve it.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2810353.msg28795521#msg28795521

While cryptocurrency last-will and testament is a very interesting topic and Post-ICO distribution of tokens/coins are as well, these more read as simple conversations. There is nothing wrong with that, but I don't see them as particularly helpful, informative or high-quality in the proper way to receive merit from myself.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2724778.msg29352091#msg29352091

This post makes no sense and does not explain anything.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2860261.msg29353838#msg29353838

I have given this post Merit, because it looks like you've done your research and you have an informed opinion. You are trying to explain and elaborate why you think this way, and it is entirely relevant to the OP. It doesn't seem like you just clicked on any random thread to post your uninformed 2-cents, you actually have put thought into this and want to share your opinion for others to discuss, debate or take-away the same conclusion as yourself. This is how quality conversations are had.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2856658.msg29360424#msg29360424
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2843860.msg29379088#msg29379088

These other posts also seem thoughtful, but again they read more like regular conversations or something that the OP would a more appropriate candidate to give you merit.

Wow, that was a lot of work. All caught-up and cleaned up. Spam removed, rule-breakers deleted, merit dished out. I barely have any merit left or else I would go +1 threads again.

Your first post about deflation is pretty high-quality and deserving of a Merit, I think. While I disagree with a couple of the things you've said there, like deflation is disincentive for borrowers/investors. I do like the thought that went into it and I agree with more than half of it, regardless it is very thought-provoking and it is the kind of conversations that I used to see around here a lot. We need more in-depth conversations about cause, effect, implications, economics, direction, theory, etc. I really like the chart that you brought to the table for the discussion about bankers killing cryptocurrency. Again, I think we come to different conclusions and interpret the data differently, but I have never seen a chart that quantifies things so concisely and in a comparative manner such as this. Your posts make me think and consider things that I have neglected to, it is quite fun. I type this as I review each new post, but it looks like you scored a 3/4 with your posts here and moreover you seem like an interesting user to have a back-and-forth with on these kind of topics. You are informed enough where you don't seem triumphantly naive or arrogant, you simply are there to have conversation and it isn't the same boring dribble we normally see from lower ranking members.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2838058.msg29320941#msg29320941

This is the only post I didn't throw you merit for from your submissions, just because it doesn't feel very "helpful" or something I would give merit for; while I agree with what you've said in the post, I just don't feel like it deserves merit.
