Merit source

[keesdewit]

As coin developer for multiple coins I want to reward people with Merit when they deliver good contributions to this forum. Can you please make me a "Merit source" so I can keep rewarding people when the post stuff that really helps. Currently my sMerit is zero. Thanks in advance!

Do you ever read about this before by any chance?

If you want to be a merit source:

 1. Be a somewhat established member.
 2. Collect TEN posts written in the last couple of months by other people that have not received nearly enough merit for how good they are, and post quotes for them all in a new Meta thread. The point of this is to demonstrate your ability to give out merit usefully.
 3. We will take a look at your history and maybe make you a source.

I am especially eager to have merit sources in sub-communities such as the local sections.

You have a post count of 921, and of those posts only 17 are listed in your post history for me. That means that most of your posts must be on the alt boards, and many of us believe that the alt boards are the magnet that has pulled much of Bitcoin Talk into the cesspit. My opinion is that no post on the alt boards should be given merit.

And this is how you spent your merits....

staking icon still gray for me even with staking=1 at wallet conf fresh blockchain and unlocked wallet. Anything else im missing?

Yes, a bit of patience, if you have upgraded to newest version. Blockchain needs time to pull everyone on the longest chain after the PoS switch. Price is getting stable on exchanges, soon will be back to business as usual. This should have been avoided with more testing, but PoW2PoS obviously is not a simple thing.

Everyone should keep calm in such hard time of Solaris project. However, Solaris team have released the newest version of wallet, which has likely completely fixed the problems.
I don't see any reason to be panic at the moment.

Solaris - KuCoin Update


Dear Solaris Community,


We are pleased to announce that Solaris trading, withdrawals and deposits have now resumed on KuCoin.



Explanation on what happened



As majority of you are aware, Solaris made a transition to be fully proof-of-stake on the 15th of April, which has caused network instability and eventually led to a temporary blockchain stall. The core team released a mandatory emergency wallet update which restored the blockchain operation within 24 hours of the stall.

Due to unforeseen technical issues after the mandatory update, KuCoin temporarily halted trading, deposits and withdrawals for Solaris. We want to underline that there was no actual issue with the Solaris software or KuCoin exchange, but an unfortunate error that happened due to time pressure and lack of preparation and notification for the mandatory update.
Due to this error, a number of accounts on KuCoin got credited XLR to their balances that did not technically exist on the blockchain. As you are aware, this caused a sudden drop in price as users started selling their XLR until the trading market was closed. All issues have now been fixed and and operations restored back to working order, and we want to thank KuCoin for their cooperation and quick responses in these urgent matters.

We want to deeply apologize for the inconveniences caused.


Solaris Core Team

How to Update your Masternode:

Log in to your VPS

Code:

cd solaris
./solaris-cli stop
wget https://github.com/Solaris-Project/Solaris/releases/download/v2.4.0.0/solaris-daemon-2.4.0.0-linux64.tar.gz
tar xzvf solaris-daemon-2.4.0.0-linux64.tar.gz
./solarisd -daemon

really only for me happens this problem that I need to reindex every time I update/restart wallet

Try -resync?

Code:

./solaris-cli stop
./solarisd -resync -daemon

Thank you for your support !!

You yourself couldn't earn more than 9 Merits in 3 months or so, and you are hoping to become a Merit source to reward and help others in this regard.  
Maybe we could understand this better if you could simply say that you have some children (low ranked accounts) to feed and you can't do it like that because you are disabled (not constructive/helpful), and now you are asking for a never-ending donation (Merit Source) to be able to feed them (the accounts) without any hurdles.  
I can be wrong, but it just feels like that when someone like you stands up for a position like that. Because if it was that much easy to become a Merit Source, I think there would have been more Merit Sources than the spammers themselves by now.

I have best intentions, but thanks for your lovely reponses.

I have what? Look man, I've been here since 2014 and I just want to reward people with Merit when I think they deliver a good contribution. I am not the "poor" man with low rank accounts.

I do not think that it is the only and the correct criteria for selecting merit source. Some people might not be able to contribute much content here but can evaluate post made by other people. That is why admin has not mentioned any requirements of merit points while applying for the post of merit source.

This case is not very strong though as OP is not aware about the declaration admin made for applying and knowledge of forum rules is a must for this position.

I just want to help improve the posts. Seems like people only want to empty their bucket of shit on me.

Unfortunately it seems to be the bounty spammers who keep refilling the buckets.

[Loveboard]

Man, just because you're a coin developer, doesn't mean you deserve to be a merit source. If you couldn't be bothered to read the rules regarding what it takes to become a merit source, then it's very foreseeable that you're going to be a problematic merit source

We need people who reward others who deserve it. You're obviously probably not even going to read people's posts (you can't even read the rules.)

And here's proof that you'll not be that great. You merited this post:

How is that meritable?

And it looks like you're only meriting posts in altcoin boards, and even worse, altcoin project developments / campaigns. THAT'S PRETTY MUCH A BREACH OF UNBIASED MERIT GIVING LOL.

You're just going to merit posts in dev threads where you are the dev of the coins. You're also going to only merit people who say god things about your coins... <-- RED FLAG! RED FLAG! RED FLAG!

Ya, I get your point. I am not independent enough. I have good intentions to also give merit on other posts, but I understand your standpoint.

[sheenshane]

Look, mate, if you intended to help people in just the way of a merit source, while you have a lot of smerit why did you not think that first.
In a month of April, there's a lot of smerit you've sent away and mostly in altcoins board in solaris project and some of these I think not deserving to have smerit. Giving 1 to 3 smerit I think is just enough for 1 account.
So now you are here asking to be a merit source?

42/72 which is over 58% sent to the Solaris project post. The OP claims to be a developer but he still has not developed his human psychology. Lucky that you became a hero member before the merit system introduced or it would be a very very difficult journey for you to have at least a decent rank (I did you see your post history yet).

Ya, I get your point. I am not independent enough. I have good intentions to also give merit on other posts, but I understand your standpoint.

- Your action speaks for your intentions. Never mind

as theymos said in his Merit & new rank requirements thread

I encourage people to give merit to posts that are objectively high-quality, not just posts that you agree with.

if you will be using merit as you plan (mostly in your own altcoin projects), it is against the core use of merit
since you have good intentions and also a good coin developer, why not develop yourself Merit Coin/Token?
if you developed and distributed your own Merit Token, it would perfectly fit your needs
