Merit for Crypto (and other) Knowledge (no guide threads)

[Quickseller]

I am giving away up to 3 merit per person who shows an understanding (or genuine interest) of any or a combination of the following:

• Bitcoin
• Major altcoin (top 100 per CoinMarketCap.com)
• blockchain technology
• cryptography
• encryption
• free markets
• importance and value of small amounts of regulations
• affects of arbitrary regulations

In order to receive merit from me please post the following:
At least two posts demonstrating solid knowledge of one or more of the above concepts/topics. The posts must be posted at least 28 days apart. You also must have made at least 12 constructive posts between your referenced posts. The time difference between referenced posts is not a hard requirement, although my standard will be higher for posts with shorter time between posts.

If you need 6 or less merit AND have 20 activity above the activity required to rank to the next rank, I will give you enough merit to rank up to the next rank.

I prefer you request merit yourself, however I will review submissions on behalf of other users.

Self moderated.

Current merit available: in flux

All languages are accepted, I can use google translate when necessary, however please only link original content and not translated content from elsewhere.

If you have received merit from me via this thread, you may resubmit another application one month after I send merit on this thread. If you are close to having enough to rank up and need merit to do so, and have already received merit from me via this thread, you may PM me and I’ll review your post history and will help you rank up if you have a strong post history.

If you have concerns or suggestions about my thread, please PM me instead of posting here, I want this thread to be mostly applications.

Please don’t submit “guide” threads you created, but responses in guide threads are okay.

None of the above are hard rules, although it is what I desire. As long as your posts are ‘objectively high quality’ and the type of posts we want more of, and you show a genuine interest in crypto, you will generally receive merit.

I have small ideas for the @QuickSeller.

I don't know how many sMerits you have now, and how many of them you readily to spend for your challenge's fund.
In my opinion, you should officially state that you (at first) dedicate 50 or 100 sMerits for your challenge's fund, but it might be changed over time (more if there are big interests and qualifying applicants).
I wish all best ones for you, your challenge, and applicants.

I updated the OP to reflect my available merit.

Thanks.

I still thought of your challenge, and I have one more additional point for you to add into the OP (if you agree).
- Accepted language of applying posts/ topics.
I think it should be in English, but might be locals as well if you know it.
Anyway, should have one more rule on language to avoid spamming with diversifying local languages.

I guess you mean encryption.


I guess below topic has content that might make interested reading for anybody.

I will like to get your comments on this. I think   most user in forum had  left the technical aspects behind and just worried about price aspects.

[Quickseller]

Please cite posts you have previously made that demonstrate your understanding of any of the topics in the OP. The posts must be at least 4 weeks apart.

Thanks.

The posts must be at least 4 weeks apart.

Thanks.

So if a user wants to join the contest but has made no previous post on the topic, and they want to articulate one, do they also have to wait for 28 days and then post again in that subject to quality for the reward? It's your contest and you make the rules, but s shorter time frame would be better or none at all. I don't see the point of waiting to post on the same topic.

I think they respect your criteria.

Slowly grinding towards Hero Status.

EDIT: Even if you already merited me, I added another message, because it was too important not to be shared and read by as many as possible! Sorry but I couldn't find it straight away.

The purpose of this thread is to award merit for those who have shown to post constructively over a period of time.

I updated the OP to reflect that posts can show an interest in any of the above topics, however there should be evidence that you are trying to learn and are putting effort into the posts.

This thread is not only for OPs, replies to topics can also be submitted.

I'm newbie in cryptocurrency. Because of my self learning, I have researched some topics and whatever I have learnt, I have shared in the forum.
Two of these articles I have written here-
1. What is Bitcoin Mixer
2. Full Node Client vs Light Node Client

Your posts are not four weeks apart, and I generally want posts at least this far apart so I can see that you have a history of making useful posts. I sent you merit because I believe your post history is especially strong.

Thanks.
