Merit System Upgrade

[QuestionAuthority]

New members, Newbies, Jr Members and Members don’t need any merit. They don’t have enough post history to judge so I won’t be helping them.

- I understand this completely however I think if you take a little time and give a glance on my history then you won't be disappointed. Sometimes rank should not be the factor to judge someone besides merit system came to reward good post not just for certain level of members. Hope you agree. My goal is here to expose my contents to people who has sMerit to give if they want to.

That being said here are few of my posts ( 10-20 posts that you have asked for)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3017678.0 what I am trying is to point out the merit system needs to be improved.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3013604.0 may be this is not a good topic to discuss on the forum but I wanted a place where we do not offence each others

I gave you 1. That’s all you need to become Member and that’s why I set the rule that way.

Hi guy,

One person (member of Hero) give me this address, and tell me to ask.
But I will not do that. I can not prove my participation in this forum because nobody speaks French. And some people need more of this merit.
In the French section, no one can climb level because a lot of merit is distributed.
I try to help people want to listen to my advice.
It's just to introduce myself a little.

This message is just to congratulate you QuestionAuthority  for helping others.
And people who have received merit, do your best to help each other.

Sorry for my poor English.

I understood you completely. I can’t really review as you said but I did translate a few posts and I get the general idea. Because I can’t look at your entire post history and I feel sorry for the people in the local subs I’m going to give you 10.

[QuestionAuthority]

Now, everyone can get what he really deserve. Those with bad quality posts are now obliged to improve the quality of their posts. I truly believe that this will help our great community get bigger and help it evolve.
I have written some posts that i believe that they are good enough. I would be really gratefull if you can check them.

I was able to find 20 posts that could have received 1 merit. You’re going to need to post a lot more to get the rest of the merit you need to rank up. 20 merit awarded.

[legendster]

You’re all over the place, as I would expect from someone that’s been here as long as you have. You troll, are a campaign manager, helpful to newbies, hateful to scammers, you pissed off TheButterZone (that adds 10 points in my book lol). 20 merit points awarded.

Buttercoin is a retarded idiot who thinks pretty highly of himself. The less spoken about him the better. lol Trolling is fun when there's little less work pressure and there are too many 'retarded idiots' are out & about.

Actually I first show your post and followed the link that you have for philipma1957 thread. This was my target on posting but he has locked his thread, this was the reason that i applied to you...

But ok, no worries
Thanks again for your effort and keep doing what u doing as long as you can!

Thank you so much

You’re a Facebook bounty hunter that started posting in other threads since the merit system was implemented. Sorry, but I can’t help you.

[Hero of Legendary]

Glad I found this thread, OP shows the right way of giving merit. If only all of the higher ranks and merit sources working with the same of your kindness, surely there is no sMerit which can be useless and being abuse, and sMerit will surely deliver in a fairness manner.

I understand that you didn't made this thread just to receive merit for you don't really need it and I know my 1sMerit is not enough, but it's my pleasure to send it to you and if only i have more than that i will send it all to you because i know that it will be given fairly to a worthy person because your intention is good and aside from that i believe your experience is enough to find a quality post. I am really seeking someone who deserves for my 1smerit because i don't want to waste it.

Thanks, for inspiring me by the way. May you succeed.

[alisafidel58]

I certainly dont know why such a good thread (for helping other on their journey to rank up) would be hiding here in Invites and Accounts. I just hope more and more people like you(Hero and Legend members) would have the guts to actually give merits points to some random accounts that you would see fit for receiving merits (the way is see thing are going its a "good all boy`s club" and/or doesnt care much to lower rank members).

I did create a thread back in January 25th when the Merit system came out, the purpose was to earn me some merits by asking "Sources" to evaluate my post and see i were able to actually (may or may not) help the community. But much more important things IRL came and didnt get to continue the evaluation thing.

Im just glad that there still someone like you that actually care for some random lower members (higher members are busy within the meta and reputation section, flaming everywhere). I was hoping/wishing that there should be more like you here in this forum to give merits (not being oblige to do so).

So far you`ve done a good job for giving merits to the ones that are worth it, keep it up and hopefully others may follow what you are doing (on their free time).

[friends1980]

I don’t have much Merit to give but I’m going to give it up until it’s all gone. I’m not sure if this is the right section for this thread because I’m not really selling anything. It’s about accounts so I’ll just leave it here until someone decides to move it. I don’t know if this is wrong to do. I don’t care if I get negative trust for doing this because I don’t buy anything here, sell anything here, join signature campaigns or post routinely in threads that even show the trust rating. Essentially I don’t make money here so I don’t use trust anyway.

I felt sorry for SOME of the members that posted in the merit thread. They seemed to be fairly articulate, fairly knowledgeable, rational and really trying to be members of this group of dreamers (community).

(...)

Your thread and comments have been turning in my head in the last day QA (don't worry, I am not planning to build a shrine for you).

I've clearly understood and agree to you that Bitcoin is the king of all cryptocoins and then I am especially and specifically talking about a method to decentralize payments. But is there no other coin to you with at least a respectable second place? In terms of speculation and payment (Litecoin?) or in terms of importance to "the Blockchain" as a concept (Ethereum?), I mean.

Let me refrain my question like this, to make it more fun: in your opinion, doesn't the king of all cryptocoins have a queen, a daughter, a son and a dog?

Thank you for the kind words. I hope the merit system succeeds. This forum should be a place where people can discuss and brainstorm about cryptocurrency. I’ve watched some amazing, earth shattering creations slowly develop in the threads of this forum. That place no longer exists. This forum has become nothing more than a day job for get rich quick scammers, advertisers and their lackeys. The merit system might help. Only time will tell.

It’s not that I don’t see the value of other currency designs. I understand Ripple. It’s perfect for banks. It can help banks maintain their superiority in the market and help them keep crushing the little guy at every turn. I understand the desire for a truly anonymous currency. While I wouldn’t use it, many people could achieve a higher level of freedom using one of those coins. I even see the appeal in pump n dump coins. Who wouldn’t want to be the early adopter that gets rich. Litecoin could be perfect for certain low cost applications like buying coffee. When I lived in Europe many years ago I routinely kept several different currencies in my pocket because I lived in a border town and may cross several borders in a day. Asking average people to use two complicated cryptocurrencies for different transaction types is just asking too much.

If we were talking about a new efficient type of light bulb in a world where everyone owns a light bulb it wouldn’t matter how much competition there is because almost everyone in the world is a potential user/customer. Cryptocurrency does not fit into that broad category of usage. There is a very small finite number of people willing to jump through the hoops necessary to use any cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is already established and time tested. It has faults that can be corrected without chucking out the whole system and starting over. Bitcoin is a financial product just like any other financial product. It has lots of competition already without members of this community creating more. As an average guy, I need to decide that I’m going to use Bitcoin instead of PayPal, Amazon Payments, ApplePay, Alipay, Dwolla, Payoneer or any one of dozens more. Once I’ve decided on cryptocurrency, now I have to decide on which one. Do I use Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Litecoin and on and on. Why are we, the people that supposedly support cryptocurrency, creating more confusion for the average financial instrument customer? Are we trying to keep cryptocurrency from ever becoming mainstream? It just makes no logical sense to me.

Thank you, there are so many people supporting the system and my efforts that there’s at least a reasonable chance it will be successful. There are many other merit sources giving out merit all over the forum. These people will keep the forum members that are deserving moving up in rank.

[timoshani]

I'm not applying because I don't really care about becoming a Hero. If I was I would have been more consistently active over the last 5 years. I just wanted to say good on you for recognising it's the higher up members that just missed out on ranking up that it hurts the most. From having a few days or weeks to suddenly looking at probably years to get 250 or 500 more merits.

I know you didn’t ask for it but I just reviewed your post history. You’re knowledgeable, appreciate bitcoin, helpful to people that need it, not looking for a quick scam and seem to really want to be here for the right reasons. Even though I don’t agree with everything you said, you're the kind of person that should be here.

Awarded 20 merit points to your post. Remember when you pass this on, don’t just give it to people you agree with, give it to people that can add something to the conversation, right or wrong. People learn more from being wrong than they do from being right.

I have for the first time got acquainted with bitcoin at the end of 2013. However, the profile on bitcointalk had been created only a month ago. And at once I have faced a problem of receiving merit. Even if my activity will be regular, then all the same the balance of merit can remain zero. Are provided by administrators of an changes of the  rules for getting merit in the future? And what kind for it?

[Hero of Legendary]

Thank you for the kind words

My pleasure

This forum should be a place where people can discuss and brainstorm about cryptocurrency.

Yeah, this I think is the exact thing that should not be absent in this forum.

I’ve watched some amazing, earth shattering creations slowly develop in the threads of this forum. That place no longer exists.

I wonder how interesting those former days which were the big lost of newbie like me.
Every time I go around on bitcoin discussion and altcoin section I have no trust for most of what I've been reading because I can't identity which one is helpful. These section is flooded with spammers.

 

This forum has become nothing more than a day job for get rich quick scammers, advertisers and their lackeys.

Although there is no problem of making this forum as a source of income, but if the majority within here are scammers and spammers who don't really care for its value, then the iron hand should be the one that must work until they all will gone.

The merit system might help. Only time will tell.

Presently I see how it is working effectively, many were caught and I think there is more.

over all may your big help finds more success in this forum. Best luck to you QuestionAuthority and to those whose with your side for the sake of restoration.

[shahzadafzal]

why no body giving merit to my posts..
I do proper research before posting and it takes time also but none have given it a single merit?

How does it work? Who is responsible to give merit any way?

Hello Good day ser. I don't have much confidence in my postings and I am not that fluent in English language so maybe some of my posts have wrong grammar.
