I know altcoins are more popular on this forum than bitcoin. I don’t care. I will only help bitcoiners level up. If most of your post history is in altcoin threads I won’t help you. I do not consider Bitcoin Cash to be bitcoin.
Well said. I've given you 50 merits to help you continue the great work you're doing here. |

I have a question about merit. If ever I gave merit to someone, will it be deducted on my current merit? Also, what is the required merit for me to be Legendary? Thanks in advance!

Hi, erickkyut, Your questions are actually on the wrong thread, this topic is more on improving member’s rank with quality post who have been here for a long time but trapped to their current rank due to merit system implementation. To help you, see below answers: No. You can read more here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0To check your sendable merit (sMerit) just click +Merit, upper right. You have received a total of 100 merit. This is what determines your forum rank. You typically cannot lose this merit. You have 5 sendable merit (sMerit) which you can send to other people. There is no point in hoarding sMerit; keeping it yourself does not benefit you, and we reserve the right to decay unused sMerit in the future. how many merit can I give to the same person.
Answer: Is there a limit on how many merits I can send?
Yes. You can give a max of 50 merit to a user every 30 days.
Also, what is the required merit for me to be Legendary? 1000 required merit. |

There are pros and cons on having a merit system here in the forum. It makes the quality of the post in this forum constructive and substantial, it also avoid spam posts but on the other hand it is really difficult to earn merits even though your posts is so constructive and substantial.

I follow this person's site and announcements ; I joined many airdrops thanks to this site and easy to use for new entrants to the cryptocurrency community... I think this person deserves the Merit and I sent it myself. I think he deserve more merit... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2888019.msg39683456#msg39683456 |

That site was created by BobSurplus. He’s a notorious pump-n-dump scheme operator. ICO operators should be killed with fire for polluting the cryptosphere. They’re worse than people that dump motor oil in our drinking water supply. |

I really wish they didn’t allow altcoins on this forum at all. There is nothing that can be done using any altcoin that can’t be done with bitcoin. You can make bitcoin private, you can make bitcoin faster, bla, bla.
Satoshi actually talked about making bitcoin private here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7.0Altcoins have given bitcoin more value. Bitcoin is the value store used for trading in altcoins. More altcoins are traded against BTC value than against fiat or any other value store. While for illegal use bitcoin has its downside - for genuine uses the pseudo anonymity means that there is a clear audit trail. Bitcoin is still the standard of decentralization. It is the hardest coin to launch a 51% attack on. Cost of launching a 51% attack:  Source: https://thenextweb.com/hardfork/2018/05/30/heres-how-much-it-costs-to-launch-a-51-attack-on-pow-cryptocurrencies/None of the current privacy coins have yet shown that they can be trusted. Monero uses Ring Confidential Transactions. While monero hasn't been exploited - The bytecoin network using the same technology was exploited. The issues surrounding the MoneroV fork show the vulnerabilities of that technology. https://serhack.me/articles/introduction-to-monerov-and-its-inherent-risksDash (Darkcoin, xcoin) uses Joincoin Thanks to masternodes, the probability of tracing a payment is very high. Zero coin based privacy coins have run into trouble several times with multiple exploits resulting in excessive coins being minted. Zcash - if there was an exploit it is likely that no-one would know. Source: https://zcoin.io/zcoin-and-zcash/Verge (Dogecoindark) - several recent exploits. So privacy features that those coins provide over bitcoin are just a comfy blanket. Whether they actually work still has to be seen. It could turn out safer to put your bitcoin through a mixer. |

I am the creator of that website and I am not BobSurplus.Also I am not neither a pump-dump operator nor an ICO operator.What's it all about ? Go look through your own post history. You and people like you are polluting this forum. All of those shitcoins you support are pump-n-dumps. You are supporting them. Scam initial coin offerings are as common as dirt. They squish up between your toes like dog shit at a public park. The last thing, and I mean the very fucking last thing, the earth needs is another site telling rubes where to throw their money away on ICOs. You may not be the actual first BobSurplus, but you’re BobSurplus. Everyone pitching shitcoins and ICOs is BobSurplus. |

Quite glad to see this topic is still on-going. In all modesty, looking back to my first posts in this thread back in February, I think I've 'grown' quite a bit as a BTCTalk user. Not only by actively reporting spammers and scammers, but also by really trying to participate and invest a bit of my personal knowledge and experience in the forum for Newbies, as well as for the usual suspects on this forum. It's become an agreeable habit to visit this forum daily when I get home from work. I've also become a lot better at filtering out spam posts automatically...  I humbly present some options QA, thanking you again in advance for your support (if any). Without even talking about Merit, I honestly think my proposition for a community-driven Code of Conduct for exchanges, ICOs and other crypto projects deserves A LOT more attention, but I'll leave that opinion up to you and the other members. Uptil today TOO MANY PEOPLE get ripped off by ICO scammers and scammy exchanges. They make rules for you to follow, but no rules for themselves. But maybe I am just fighting against windmills or maybe the idea that - as a community - we can create regulations and codes without having to cry to get help from governments and law-makers, is just a naive dream... I am in good company though, cuz I am sure I am sharing this dream with Satoshi. Deep analysis from terms & conditions & privacy policy from several popular crypto exchanges:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4466328This was actually a huge task. I've divided every exchange analysis in 5 topics: Terms&Conditions, Privacy Policy, Add Coin/Ico Policy, Coin Removal Policy and Fee Transparency. I think some of these results are really unacceptable and as a consequence I've immediately taken my coins away from some of these exchanges and closed my accounts (if possible...). Let's work together as a community to create a Crypto Code of Conduct / Crypto Constitution:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3759212Short and easy checklist for newbies: how to DYOR and how to recognize scams:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4388247And to finish lightly, a little bit of scam sarcasm:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3482608.msg38620337#msg38620337(just kidding  ) Sadly, some of these threads disappear too fast in the huge stream of Merit and shill threads. Or maybe no-one cares, but me. That's also a possibility.  |

I do however see a massive change in you since we last spoke and a genuine desire to help the forum. Keep working along those lines and you should have no problem ranking up. I easily found 20 posts that could have received at least 1 merit if the right person read them. 20 merit awarded. |

Appreciated. Not sure if I'm "still mainly an altcoin supporter", but I've indeed been reading and participating everywhere on the forum. I think my basics haven't changed: I try not to write more than necessary, unless when I can't resist my feelings of cynicism, when reading another useless post. My portfolio has not changed one satoshi since February though, so still mainly BTC and LTC! You might find it interesting to know that I've actually learnt a lot from your thread, by simply tracking your Merits and reading every single post you've rewarded in the last months. I should add this guideline to my Newbie DYOR Checklist: "Read the topics QA has rewarded".  Sadly only 120 days visible... |

I don't really have any merit so far, so would greatly appreciate some. To avoid looking like a pointless beggar, here's my take on bitcoin: I respect bitcoin a lot (and holding on it till it gets to at least $35K). But I do think that Bitcoin in the (foreseeable) future will become the analog of GBP. It's one of the most expensive currencies in the world, one of the oldest, and very much respected. But Ethereum blockchain has much more versatility, and more bells and whistles, so in my opinion it's destined to be the same as USD: hated by many, but used never the less. (Hope I didn't crew up my merit chances . I try not to write more than necessary, unless when I can't resist my feelings of cynicism, when reading another useless post.
QED. |
