Thank you for another update, Coin-1! Once again, I present you my sincere appreciations for keeping this topic updated and I am certain that it makes many forum users feel so good seeing their names listed here

RickDeckard [...] earned a lot of merit and now own over 2000 merits.
FatFork [...] also crossed this threshold.

This is making me smile, as I am glad to see 2 users, very valuable to the forum, reaching this astonishing mark! Great job, guys!

iwantmyhomepaidwithbtc2 [...] have been promoted to Hero Member.

At same time, I would like to congratulate the one "looking for buying a second palace with BTC"   for obtaining the merits for Hero rank way before reaching the required activity! Bravo!

AHOYBRAUSE [...] became Sr. Members.

AHOYBRAUSE is another name I know from the ones listed in this update and I take this opportunity for congratulating him as well!

_oh_no_stop_this_, Who is John Galt? [...] have ranked up to Full Member.

And last, but not least, I see also a name which got my attention recently and which also impressed me a lot -- Who is John Galt? -- and I have no surprise in seeing him ranking up Congrats, Who is John Galt!

At same time I see another name which looks curious -- oh_no_stop_this_ I don't know anything about this user but, perhaps, he will be another nice surprise?

Nevertheles, I also congratulate all the other ones mentioned here, which ranked up or just met the merit requirements for ranking up! Keep it up guys! May your path to Legendary rank be a smooth one!

This post will be updated.

See the latest logs on the first page.

[Coin-1]

The logs and chart have been updated. I also published the first part of the logs in a separate post because there are already too many users who have over 2000 merits on the main page of this thread.


laszlo who bought pizza for 10000 BTC now owns over 2000 merits.
HeRetiK who posts in the German section has also crossed the same threshold.
Gorgeous!

albon, julerz12, mandown and sam00 who are active on Arabic, Philippine, Turkish and German local boards respectively have ranked up to Legendary.
Jossque who makes posts in Turkish has received 1000 merits but does not have sufficient activity.

Cricktor, light_warrior, BVeyron, Ryu_Ar1, pixie85, Lillominato89, Yamifoud, Synchronice and bisdak40 are new Hero Members.

Learn Bitcoin, Fiatless, Turbartuluk, Stable090, zaim7413, komisariatku, Nheer, sokani, Aanuoluwatofunmi, armanda90, puloweh555, Hookzup1, nikolaspaolo, Dzigie, SmartGold01, maxirosson and Hvdv have been promoted to Sr. Member.

bastisisca, Sim_card, DOBLEBIT, letteredhub, Zoomic, Sakanwa, knowngunman, arabspaceship123, Ever-young, CARIBBEAN_TREASURES, Z_MBFM, Chilwell, ndutndut, apogio, maksimukr1989, BC.GAME, yenerbatmaz, usque_ad_finem, UniJoin, Adams0001 and Y3shot became Full Members.

Hurray!

FatFork, Julien_Olynpic and Xal0lex who are active on Croatian and Russian local boards respectively have also crossed this threshold.

I would like to make some corrections to your list. The fact is that I have never written in the Croatian local board. But I recently reached the 2,000 merit mark, that's right.

I know that you are not active on the local board you mentioned. That is why I used the word "RESPECTIVELY" in this sentence. FatFork writes messages in Croatian.

_oh_no_stop_this_, Who is John Galt? [... ]have ranked up to Full Member.

And last, but not least, I see also a name which got my attention recently and which also impressed me a lot -- Who is John Galt? -- and I have no surprise in seeing him ranking up Congrats, Who is John Galt!

At same time I see another name which looks curious -- oh_no_stop_this_ I don't know anything about this user but, perhaps, he will be another nice surprise?

In my opinion, it's good that question marks and similar characters are allowed in user profiles, because such weird names look quite original and unusual.

[GazetaBitcoin]

Thanks Coin-1 for another update on this thread!

Today's highlight brings again some names known to me and I am very glad to see them here!

laszlo who bought pizza for 10000 BTC now owns over 2000 merits.

Obviously, the most iconic figure from the entire list is laszlo which, sadly, is not active anymore since 2017. Yet his reputation precedes him and here he is, entering the 2000 merits stage! I am more than sure that if he would ever return to the forum, he would be welcomed back with a lot of sympathy from all forum users.

Lillominato89 [...] are new Hero Members.

And there is one gang member of Italian Brotherhood which became a Hero! Congrats! This will make the Brotherhood stronger

Learn Bitcoin, [...] Nheer, sokani, [...] have been promoted to Sr. Member.

I collaborated with these users and it was a very good collaboration. They translated some topics of mine and did a great job! I am glad to know that I helped them a little in their ranking up. This is a well deserved promotion!

UniJoin [...] became Full Members.

Last, but not least, we also see the profile of a company ranking up and this is great, since UniJoin gathered some sympathy from forum users with their user friendly service and also with the signature campaign they are running. Congrats to UniJoin as well!

And, of course, hats off for all the other users which ranked up! Keep up the good work and may your next rank up come fast!

I appreciate your support. Working with you to translate some of your posts was an honour, and I hope to work with you again in the future. I'm glad to see my name listed among the users who were promoted to a new rank. If activity and merit are taken into account, however, then I don't think I should have been mentioned here just yet because I don't yet have enough activity to be recognised as a senior member.

Nheer…have been promoted to Sr. Member.

Lillominato89 [..] are new Hero Members.

Hurray!

Thank you very much Coin-1 for always welcome update of this thread, I am very happy to see my rank increase to Hero member, I hope and I am confident that when I become Legendary Member this thread will still be active and updated

Thanks Coin-1 for another update on this thread!

And there is one gang member of Italian Brotherhood which became a Hero! Congrats! This will make the Brotherhood stronger

And thanks to you too GazetaBitcoin, the strength of the alliance will be much more compact, and I hope that new members will join the Italian Brotherhood. There are promising members like
bastisisca and mendace who are ready to join Italian Brotherhood

I am more than sure that if he would ever return to the forum, he would be welcomed back with a lot of sympathy from all forum users.

Laszlo Hanyecz and Jeremy Sturdivant are two legendary people, by the way, Jeremy is very often under shadow, but I really wonder what did he do with those bitcoins.
The reason why I replied to this is that recently Laszlo Hanyecz's legendary interview is becoming popular on TikTok, I saw it for five times in the last month.
Here is the interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWU3O3X5kKE

Does anyone know more about Laszlo Hanyecz? How is he doing, what is his profession, does he work as a programmer? Would love to know a bit more about this person.
Even my first thread on this forum is about him: From pizza to bitcoins - to factory to bitcoins.

I doubt Laszlo needs much if any sympathy from forum members - at least in regards to his having had engaged in several pizza transactions through bitcoin, and it is likely that he has plenty of bitcoin.. even though many of us likely do not know his details in that direction, and perhaps that might be part of the reason that he is a bit less inclined to participate in the forum under that particular user-name.... one of the risks of becoming too much publicly known.

It could be that those kinds of inquiries contribute towards previously active (and perhaps overly disclosing) members to step back from the public light...and sure many of us do appreciate hearing personal stories, the good, the bad and the ugly.

[Coin-1]

Wow! I received a lot of merit and now have more than 2000 merits! I am glad to join the "2000+ merit & 2000+ activity" club. I wish all members to gain not only merit, but also activity points.

BitcoinBunny also owns over 2K merits.
bct_ail, jokers10 and Goran_ who are active on German and Russian local boards respectively have crossed the same threshold as well.

tonych is a new Legendary.
mv1986, MK-74 and execijutiere, Cryptmuster and internetional who post in German, Turkish and Russian sections respectively have also reached this level.
vjudeu earned enough merits to be Legendary but he does not have sufficient activity yet.

sompitonov, citb0in, satscraper, Zwei, Turbartuluk, Wakate, ThemePen, BtcTalkShow, un_rank, Findingnemo, GxSTxV, Liquidoptions, Zaguru12, GiftedMAN, Nwada001, SmartGold01, ZAINmalik75, MrMojoRising26 and YodasRedRocket have been promoted to Hero Member.

Yamane_Keto, Mr.suevie, icalical, Mr. Magkaisa, Etranger, retreat, bbigtart, Cacabey_40, dzungmobile, Escaflowne, albert0bsd, virginorange, Steeley, pluja, Z390, alastantiger, Sexylizzy2813, Unknown Op and Excimer have ranked up to Sr. Member.

Out of mind, pluja, Cheema02, rohang, HONDACD125, rachael9385, Stakefast, cafter, Bitcoin Store, hafiztalha, JunaidAzizi, Abu-Naim, Odohu, SmartCharpa, Bd officer, l99l, CR_Anders, 2Pizza410000BTC, Hatchy, PytagoraZ, Arenga pinnata, AprilioMP, Lunorael, _Hiloveua_, Broadanbig, Subbir, Salahmu, Spaceman1000$, SeriouslyGiveaway, Gaza13, Medusah, iBaba, Agbamoni, eXch.cc, EL MOHA and Suzuki Matt became Full Members.

Congratulations on ranking up!

It should be noted that the total number of users who have received enough merit to rank up to Full Member has exceeded 1000. I believe that this event is an important milestone in the forum's merit system.

On May 18, 2010, there was an epic story with two pizzas purchased for 10 thousand BTC, which is why the Bitcointalk community appreciates this first deal. Undoubtedly, Laszlo is a respected person, and his profile deserves merits.

[SmartGold01]

Thank you Coin-1 for your warm wishes actually I am not yet a Hero member although despite collecting the required merits since activities still holding me backward then I can say I am only a potential Hero who is about to sail out within few weeks times to come. Maybe more 2 weeks or 3 weeks from my calculations I could be wrong or right.
I also wants to congratulate you for hitting 2k plus merits in the forum, I know isn't that easy this shows your efforts and contribution are greatly valued. Once again congratulations Coin-1.

Wow am truly suprised to see how fast you have grown, I mean already achieving the hero member merit rank when your activity is still low that's a massive achievement and to think it's wasn't not long you actually moved up to senior member.

@coin-1 congratulations on your merit achievement because it's definitely a milestone to achieve and it's certainly not an easy one sometimes I wonder if it's even possible for to attain such height but when I see members migrating and growing Its then gives me a sense hope that this can actually be achieved so far as am steady trying my very best to grow and contribute to the forum.

[Nwada001]

I think I have found myself mentioned here on this thread a couple of times now, if I don't miss the count. You are indeed doing an incredible job right here, keeping this thread updated with solid data. I'm happy I have been able to earn the hero member rank merit, which is a good sign that I am growing in the forum, and with the help of the pharmacist and many others, I have gained the merit and wish to earn more even before I obtain the required activities to qualify me for the hero member rank, as I can see that I still have more than 4 months for my activities to get there.
 
@coin-1 Congratulations on your 2k+ merit badge. I wish to be there some day and also enjoy this same joy. I dropped one (1) merit on your profile to make it 2038. The 2037 doesn't look too good in my eyes.

[digaran]

You know, when I think about it, everyone has a goal in their lives, they try hard to achieve that goal in their entire life.

Is this the same world Satoshi envisioned for us, forum rank up becomes our ultimate goal? I have earned 229 ever since 2018 when merit was introduced, 5 years for 229, that means I have to wait more than 5 years to become a legendary which by that time would mean nothing because a new rank would be introduced way before that, something like, ancients, mythical etc. 😂

Of course as long as the goal of having such goals remain as entertainment otherwise we'd open our eyes one day and see we have achieved nothing in our lives other than some displayed pixels in a form of coins and letters on an ancient forum layout. Lol

There are likely ways that you would be able to increase your merits with the passage of time if you really believe that there is much if any importance in terms of the ranks - which surely I would question whether there is much importance in the ranks - even though surely other members will look at some of these matters in terms of how much credibility to give to another member and maybe even consider some of the matters of rank, number of posts, time on the forum, number of smerits received.

It also seems to be much better to actually posts on topics that really interest you and motivate you to post, rather than attempting to force the matter.. and surely those folks who are truly interested in bitcoin and passionate about bitcoin and provide interesting information related to bitcoin likely receive more smerits rather than members posting in regards to other topics..

Sure there are some exceptions to any of this, and I don't even claim to have studied the actual facts in regards to my assertion that having actual, genuine and even actionable interests in bitcoin is a good way to increase the likelihood that you would motivate another member to send you an smerit, but I think as a general principle, it does not hurt to really take an interest in bitcoin beyond just superficially.. and I am not even saying that I know you in that regard, digaran..

You surely could not necessarily force yourself to change your interests or your personality, but I could imagine cases in which a member with your already existing longevity on the forum could end up being able to increase merit earnings and end up earning an additional 271 merits within a year (let's say before the beginning of October 2024).

There could be some other ways that you could work on your posts (in terms of increasing the likelihood that another member might become motivated to sent you an smerit(s)), too.. and I hate to put myself in the place of merit-receipt improvement consultant.

[digaran]

merit-receipt improvement consultant.

Thanks for the advices, I meant everything sarcastically, I can't handle this bitter truth/reality that people are actually happy and satisfied with themselves when they rank up or receive merits, it seems like this thing is all they should focus on, I no longer see (for many years) anyone talk about their goals about the time they will stand before their maker. Idk, every where I go I end up either off topic or come off as a troll, one can no longer  discuss about other aspects of certain subjects.

We should see people celebrating the important stuff, now I wonder what did we do wrong to reach this point? Are we going to "change the world" when all people care here is either trust gain, money earn or merit/ rank all pointing to $$$.

I mean, wouldn't be better if we could rank good / quality contributors in one go, after at least 6 months of being active with a good track record? So they could focus on other things than just merit/ rank, that could statistically and gradually improve our standards, people would compete to contribute on things that matters.   God knows how many potentially talented individuals are busy with pity things such as rank up/ merit etc while we could try and harness their true power and hidden talents.

Make no mistake, Bitcoin is not just a currency, it is the crack in the shackles of capitalism.  But take a look at our army against the giant of capitalism.☹

Two weeks, 13 days, to be exact. You're on 476, Hero needs 480, so you'll only need 4 more. The last activity-count update that added 14 to your number happened yesterday, the next one will be on 18th this month. That's if the schedule is still on track.

Thanks for the advices, I meant everything sarcastically, I can't handle this bitter truth/reality that people are actually happy and satisfied with themselves when they rank up or receive merits, it seems like this thing is all they should focus on, I no longer see (for many years) anyone talk about their goals about the time they will stand before their maker. Idk, every where I go I end up either off topic or come off as a troll, one can no longer  discuss about other aspects of certain subjects.

We should see people celebrating the important stuff, now I wonder what did we do wrong to reach this point? Are we going to "change the world" when all people care here is either trust gain, money earn or merit/ rank all pointing to $$$.

You're posting on a thread which purpose is to congratulate a rank up, and you got annoyed because people are happy when they do exactly that? Then I'll advise you to stay a good hundreds of meters away from a thread titled Announce your rank up, merit or any achievements that makes you feel great!, you'll give yourself a stroke from the... bitter truth of it, that the thread was made to cater, and filled with, people announce anything that made them feel great. BGC made that thread to contain the excitement that people feel when they had a good day on the forum, so that instead of having tons of threads on Reputation or Meta talking about the same matter, it's focused there. I figure your sarcastic urgency will spike up if you visit that thread because... people are, apparently, like what happens here, celebrating less-than-important stuff there. Such vanity. Ack.

Addressing your concern of people's focus on money, merit, trust gain, or rank, if you feel that way about talented people on this forum, then I'll advise you to broaden your scope. There are many instances --talented-- users here are contributing to the forum, building a nice... arsenal for the army. I know people whose merit count were/are way, waaayyy, above their rank requirement, a testaments that they couldn't care less about merit or rank and simply posting to contribute, others made browser extension and app to enhance forum UX, others made patches to help the forum, several others create sites that surely help looking for specific things on the forum more convenient. I deliberately refrain from mentioning the specific name or the fruits of their contributions, because if you don't know at least one or two of what I mentioned above, then you're indeed myopic.

You are correct I just noticed it yesterday being Wednesday that my activities has changed and I only have 4 more to climb 480 activity. From then I did the calculation to know the next possible day to climb Hero, which is on 18 October. Will be so glad to witness the new change of rank and a total of 5 gold coin below my username.

Congratulations on your achievement. That's right, the next period's activity changes will occur on 10/18/2023 11.53.20 UTC. Make a post after that date and time and "BUMM" your account will change to Hero

This post will be updated.

See the latest logs on the first page.

Maybe bump it to 2500 or 3000 merits. It would be a better indicator especially those that got 1000 merit drop.
