He deserve a lot !

I have decided to add a section to the spreadsheet that will reference up to 5 meritorious posts that I see throughout the week. This will be added at some point before the current round is concluded.

Awesome, thank you! I will add you as a merit sponsor. At some point, I believe by round 5, I’d like to slightly reduce the amount of merits that the top ranks can earn for each round and encourage more members to utilize the spreadsheet to merit a few posts that are deemed meritorious (subjective to my personal criteria: you’re more than welcome to peruse the participants’ post history to find and merit other posts, as well).

This is so exciting to see more and more people taking interest to this type of challenge, and I really hope it is making a difference, regardless of how small that difference is

@fakegurutu has been disqualified from this week's round, as they have applied to a paid signature campaign after applying for this challenge.



This means that there are only 24 valid participants in this round. Unfortunately, this also means that there will not be a cash prize for 3rd place.

In other news, I will be tracking merits earned from participants through this challenge, and you can find a "Merit Stats" tab in the spreadsheet (click here to be taken directly to the merit tab in the spreadsheet)

Hopefully, we can have at least 25 qualified participants for this challenge in Round 3. Sorry, everyone

Been interesting watching how this whole thing has played out, not bad to have 24 participants just in week two. Hey, the way BTC prices are going, this might even be one of the highest paying campaigns soon

That's a great addition to the spreadsheet!  Thanks for adding that to see what is considered a meritorious post.

Not a problem! Got to put those merits somewhere.

I am not a merit source which is why I'm only contributing 5 merits/week. :O

Awh, fakegurutu why did you have to go and ruin it for everyone? Rules are rules though, and I would hate to make an exception just because someone broke the rules. I like the merit stats google spreadsheet, gives us a better ability to see what sort of post quality our participants are operating with. I'm sure round 3 will have enough participants for a 3rd place.

Monbux is the man, they even popped into my sMerit review thread and offered their merit services there as well. It seems they know where merit is being used properly and are a positive proponent. Putting up meritorious posts is a really good idea, for multiple reasons. We can use this to distribute merit to the participants, review the post quality of the better participants and to give struggling users a reference for what constitutes a proper post. It might be nice to have 5-Slots that are Cash + Merit and 5-slots that are just merit or something like that if you're looking to spread the love around to those participants making an effort.

With due permission.

I would like to award 1 Merit to ONE Newbie &/or Jr Member per week. I have 12 sMerits available with me as of now, so I will be doing this for the next 12 weekly rounds at least (or till my sMerits last).

Who would I award?
Anyone that makes a constructive post where the intent is not to smooch off merit points.
I will never award and Merit points to you if you message me to review your post.
I will award only 1 Jr Member or 1 Newbie per week.
I may choose to not award any Merit point in any weekly round if I do not see a worthy post for that particular week's round.

Once OP approves this and if more of you want me to continue supporting this indefinitely, considering sending merit points to this post of mine, so I'll always have enough Merit points to give away each week.

If you view the spreadsheet, you will see a newly added section for posts that I consider meritorious. You can easily choose one member a week amongst the participants to award the merit to. I will also try to include the top posts of the week at the end of each round, but this is dependent of how much time I have available lol

Same here, even I am slacking on my Job board thread the last 2 weeks due to some offline work. If only the forum allowed thread based mods other than the OP that the OP himself could pick and grant certain permissions.

I like the implementation of the "meritorious posts" section for the challenge participants. This gives participants an increased chance at being noticed by a higher ranking member with a lot of merit and therefore more likely to earn merit. This offers people the chance to get involved and sponsor the challenge without committing to a cash sponsor or a continuous merit sponsor; users are now able to simply take a peak at the meritorious posts and decide whether or not they would like to contribute to what we are accomplishing.

I imagine we will see a lot of recidivism within this challenge, so I would assume that Round 3 and onward will have a 3rd place cash prize. Unless we have some more rule-breakers, that is.

I'll be throwing around extra merits here and there for thought-provoking discussions, posts, tutorials or whatever else fits my criteria. I'll do "Merit reviews" like I do in my thread for random participants now and then.

Quoted and   verified by Brainwallet but currently Native Segwit Addresses aren't supported by the wallets Joe and Bill Gator use. I suggest you try to make a P2SH Nested Segwit address for now till the issue is solved (or native becomes the "norm" enough for more wallets to support it)

[Collinberg]

I love this movement,I am a newbie and this is my first day of posting but I would not be entering the challenge for this week,I want to spend this time getting acclimated to the forum but I would wear the signature anyways to show my 100% support for this wonderful initiative.

This is something I am looking to remedy for future rounds. I'm open to suggestions, but I'm thinking I will probably just use my Electrum wallet for Native SegWit addresses. I believe I can transfer from Core to Electrum, so that's probably what I'll do so that we don't discourage SegWit usage. I suppose I don't even need to transfer it over to Electrum, could just send it directly from Core to the Native SegWit addresses of participants. It's something I'm perfectly willing and happy to do for participants. I just had a bit of a brain hiccup when it came time to send the winnings at the end of last round, because I was in quite a rush and didn't have time to consider the solutions.

There are no Nested SegWit wallets/clients that offer compatibility with Native SegWit addresses that I know of; is there such a thing currently? There might be technical complications that I'm failing to consider that make this impossible for now.

[bill gator]

After giving it a little bit of consideration I've decided to increase the amount of merit I'll hand out to 2nd place (at least for this round). It looks weird that 3rd place gets more merit than 2nd, even if there is a cash prize. I will give 3-Merit for 2nd place, instead of 1. I'll do my best to earn some more merit so that I can make it consistently a solid amount of merit; no promises, but maybe someday down the line I'll be able to become a source. One can only hope, but for now 3 is the best I can do and there is no promises for future rounds besides the original pledge of 1-merit.
