joker_josue Merit Source Application - to encourage the Portuguese community

[joker_josue]

Hello everybody,

Most of you may not know me, as I am not very active in the global forums tabs, but I have been on the forum since 2013, right when I had my first contact with Bitcoin. I have been "hooked" to this community until today. Despite having spent a few moments in the past, a little further away, I am currently very active and I try to make my contribution as best I can, day after day.


I am currently one of the most active members of the forum, especially in the local Portuguese (Portuguese) board and having one or another participation in other boards. According to the latest statistics I am the 6th most active user on the forum:

Code:

1. ChartBuddy [728]
2. KTChampions [388]
3. LUCKMCFLY [379]
4. Jody.Drummer [376]
5. Sithara007 [371]
6. joker_josue [355]
7. swogerino [332]
8. serjent05 [325]
9. LoyceV [314]
10. NeuroticFish [292]

I believe that the merits system is an excellent way to motivate the community to continue to contribute in the best way to the forum, in general. I think they are an excellent tool to reward the effort that each one makes, to share knowledge, opinions, and promote debate of ideas, in a community that continues to be free as Bitcointalk is. Despite not being a source of merit, I strive to share the merits I receive with others. This effort has allowed me to be among the 200 most generous members of merit:

The most generous users giving merits (August 2022)

(...) User name Sent merits Received merits Generosity 120) StormHawk 6 (in 5 txns to 4 users) 0 6 (max 6) 121) albon 12 (in 9 txns to 6 users) 11 (in 4 txns from 3 users) 6 (max 6) 122) Roman_Picisan 6 (in 1 txn) 0 6 (max 6) 123) joker_josue 23 (in 23 txns to 12 users) 34 (in 24 txns from 13 users) 6 (max 6) 124) 100bitcoin 7 (in 1 txn) 1 6 (max 6) 125) dominguero 8 (in 1 txn) 3 (in 3 txns from 3 users) 6 (max 7) (...)

This is the August data, but since June I have been in this top.


Despite these numbers and having thought several times about how I would like to be a source of merit, I was always afraid to apply, as I am little known and my participation is very focused on the Portuguese board. I always thought that would always be an impediment to being accepted. But a few months ago, I received some incentives to apply for merit source:

I have created a consolidate version of your data using only Portuguese board information:

I must say that it looks very good and easy to understand which is always important. Good job!

Since Portuguese board is one of the most active ones while you consistently month after month have one of the lowest merit per post ratios, has anyone from your board considered applying for a merit source as I think you could certainly use more of those.

I already thought about it. But then I thought that maybe I'm not in that category, because I hardly browse the international tabs.  

You don't have to be active in the general part of the forum  if you are applying to be a merit source that will be focused on your local board so I don't see that as some kind of a problem.

<…>

That shouldn’t be any issue whatsoever, especially if you postulate to be a local merit source.

In addition, the Portuguese board of the forum is one of the largest and most active of the entire forum, but it is also the one with a very low merits ratio. By the way, the "problems" mentioned by my colleague on the bitmover board, in his candidacy, are still very current and visible in the community.


Given these incentives and data, as well as the pleasure of being a source of merit, and now that I am Legendary, I would like to apply for a source of merit. Promising to share my merits in the Portuguese board, but also in other places in the forum as appropriate.


Here is my selection of 10 topics/posts to apply as a source of merit:
Since my "specialty" is the Portuguese board, I will only present Portuguese topics/posts (save one topic, which I thought it would make more sense to post the original version and not the Portuguese version), but I will give a brief explanation in English of each one, to facilitate analysis.


#1 - Another excellent work from a forum user, to help the community interact better.

This was originally posted here.

It adds a note field on each user's profile and posts. You can click the note itself to remove or change it.

P.S: Notes are only stored LOCALLY and will be lost if you uninstall the extension. Only you can see your notes.

#2 - Topic presenting and debating ideas on how miners can act after "The Merge" on Ethereum.

Se tudo ocorrer conforme planejado estamos a poucos dias do ETH deixar de ser minerável, criei este tópico para discutirmos as melhores estratégias para tentar se manter vivo nesse mercado de mineração de altcoins via gpu.

As atitudes que tomei até agora:

- Anunciei algumas das minhas gpus mais antigas (1660S) e tentei vende-las a preço próximo ao encontrado nas lojas atualmente. Em 3 semanas consegui vender metade delas sem forçar muito nos preços, o valor de revenda que consegui foi bem próximo de placas novas. R$ 100 a R$ 150 a menos. (Mas não foi muito fácil, respondi centenas de perguntas no mercadolivre e diversos compradores cancelaram as compras nas primeiras 24 horas por arrependimento).

- Mesmo reduzindo o numero de placas tive que comprar mais uma fonte para ficar pronto para rodar alguns algoritmos que consomem mais energia, péssimo momento para investir mas eu rodava minhas maquinas no limite do limite das fontes para minerar ETH.... então não tem jeito, mesmo reduzindo o numero de gpus tive que arriscar a compra de uma fonte para conseguir rodar os algoritmos mais exigentes.

- Criei wallet nas alts potenciais melhores opções, mas talvez vou até voltar a usar o nicehash pra simplificar as coisas... estou analisando esta possibilidade.

Acredito que a partir da saída do ETH a mineração via gpu vai ficar com lucratividade extremamente baixa ou inexistente, no primeiro mês a grande maioria deverá operar no prejuízo até que a desistência em massa torne as coisas minimamente viáveis novamente. Espero sobreviver mas já sei que não vai ser nada fácil.

Nos próximos dias vou tentar vender mais algumas gpus e ir decidindo oque fazer conforme as coisas forem acontecendo.

Quais as suas ideias?

#3 - Debate on how taxes may be collected or should be applied in Brazil.

Salve salve moçada,

sei que esse tópico já deve ter aparecido por aqui em algum lugar, mas gostaria de perguntar se alguém já teve sucesso em derrubar na justiça essa tributação jumenta e ilegal de permuta critpo-cripto. Googlando por ai achei esse artigo:

https://www.conjur.com.br/2022-jan-20/araujo-borges-tributacao-permuta-entre-criptoativos-ilegal

o qual acredito que sumariza muito bem porque essa tributação é totalmente ilegal e também ilógica do ponto de vista do acréscimo patrimonial que não ocorre! Eu até adicionaria o fato de que a própria tributação de ganho de capital sem possibilidade de redução das perdas no cômputo da base de cálculo é uma forma de confisco. Imagine ainda tributar uma permuta de ethereum por bitcoin e vice-versa, daqui a pouco você deve mais dinheiro que você tem sem nunca ter liquidado nada por reais! Ridículo !!

TODO mundo permuta cripto por cripto pra se proteger das flutuações!

Ficaria muito grato se pudessem colocar informações nessa thread acerca desse tópico, qualquer informação já ajuda. Tipo, já foi fiscalizado? Já entrou na justiça? Quanto esses advogados cobram? Etc.

Abraços e bom fds a todos!

#4 - Analyze user rankings on NFT and how these tools could be useful in the future.

Samuel Cardillo, que é o diretor de tecnologia da RTFKT, criou o “Smart Contract Database”, com suas classificações de contratos inteligentes de NFTs, indo de A+ para contratos com metadados e ativos armazenados de forma segura e descentralizada até STAY AWAY FROM SUCH CONTRACT para as piores práticas.

Alguns contratos que ganharam A+:

WhelpsNFT: armazenamento on-chain, os dados visuais estão no IPFS e ele cita que a equipe usa computação inteligente para montar um URI (Universal Resouroce Identifier).

NounsDAO A+ (+): o melhor qualificado da base, Cardillo considerar o Nouns '' um contrato inteligente que está fora desta galáxia. Apenas pura perfeição''. Tudo descentralizado e armazenado on-chain.

MonsterBlock: ativos armazenados on-chain, e Cardillo considera que eles fazem um uso inteligente do oráculo da Chainlink para RNG (que eu não sabia que dava pra juntar as duas coisas).


4 STAY AWAY FROM SUCH CONTRACT (C-):

Meet the Bloomps, Hedgies, Ready Player Cat NFT e Cryptocoin Factory Collection.....que se resumem a ativos centralizados e conteúdo de meta-data mutável pelo criador do contrato.


Acho que é um conteudo sobre interessante que alguns aqui vão gostar de explorar toda base

#5 - Debate on how wars can affect cryptocurrencies.

Alguns anos atrás eu criei um topico aqui no Bitcointalk (que foi o meu 1° tópico criado por aqui  ), em que ele tinha o intuito de discutirmos os efeitos do ataque que os EUA realizou contra o Irã, resultando na morte de um general iraniano.

Acredito que "todos" já sabem o cenário que estamos vivendo atualmente.

Tivemos e ainda estamos presenciando uma "pandemia" (que de certa forma esta um pouco mais controlada), mas logo após esse incidente que tivemos com o COVID-19, estamos vivenciando algo que de certa forma é catastrófico (que pode piorar) e esta afetando a economia no mundo todo, que são as Guerras.

Em meados de Fevereiro/2022 a Russia efetuou uma invasão militar contra a Ucrania e que estamos vivendo as consequências até hoje, mortes, acusações, genocidios, sansões, inflação e diversas outras coisas negativas em que a guerra ""oferece"" ao ser humano.

Com todo esse cenário que estamos vivendo, a situação piorou, pois com a viagem recentemente de Nancy Pelosi à Taiwan, elevou ainda mais a tensão entre Estados Unidos x China, e que de certa forma se algo não for feito para "apaziguar" ou amenizar essa relação entre esses paises, a situação poderá piorar ainda mais futuramente.

O objetivo desse tópico é de fomentarmos uma discussão sobre esse assunto e como isso poderá afetar a economia mundial e principalmente os criptoativos.

Qual a visão de vocês sobre tudo isso que estamos vivendo nos dias de hoje?

#6 - Review AI tools for creating images or digital arts.

esse assunto não é diretamente relacionado à crypto mas tem a ver com inovação e tecnologia então achei que podia interessar ao pessoal aqui

já viram essas novas engines de inteligência artifial que criam imagens a partir de um prompt de texto?

A mais famosa é o Dall-E 2 que é aberto (por convites) e garante uso comercial para quem se inscrever.
Você ganha 50 créditos no começo e depoios 15 por mês, e pode comprar mais se quiser, cada crédito da direito a 1 prompt de texto transformado em 4 imagens.
além de gerar imagens vc também pode editar ou criar variações

o google também tem uma versão: o Imagen
mas atualmente não está disponível para o público

[picture removed to avoid long thread]

exemplo de como funciona o Imagen

doido né?
recomendo dar uma olhada nos sites.

#7 - Debate on how Bitcoin and associated technologies can end up with intermediation in services.

Como todos sabemos, o Bitcoin é sobre desintermediação do sistema financeiro. Ao minerar, estamos criando nosso próprio dinheiro. Mas além da nossa relação com o dinheiro, há muitas coisas na nossa vida que são intermediada e cada vez mais, parece que a evolução dos mercados, é a evolução do nosso processo de delegar nossa vida a outras pessoas.

No passado, as roupas eram feitas em casas, as mães e avós cortavam nossos cabelos. Plantavamos nossos alimentos e nós mesmos os preparávamos. A educação das crianças era algo realizado pelas comunidades. As casas eram cuidadas, arrumadas, construídas e concertadas por nós mesmo.

Hoje, cada uma dessas coisas é comumente feita por outras pessoas. O resultado no geral, não sei se é exatamente 'mais liberdade', já que muitos de nós precisam trabalhar cada vez mais para sustentar a tercerização de tudo.

Muitas vezes, isso chega - pelo menos aos meus olhos- em patamares absurdos, como por exemplo no caso das academias de ginastica em que tu não precisa se exercitar e é tudo por ondas.

Acho que minha relação com as criptomoedas acentuou bastante minha busca por emancipação de intermediários, que tem só se acentuado. E dia a pós dia acho que estou buscando cada vez mais fazer as coisas que posso, por mim mesma. Claro que é uma posição menos produtiva na perspectiva de Naval por exemplo, que acha que devemos tercerizar todos os serviços que custam menos do que nossa hora/trabalho.

Eu sempre busquei plantar alguns alimentos e isso hoje está cada vez mais forte, agora tenho iniciado alguns estudos em criação de abelhas e pra cultivo de cogumelos. E claro, tudo isso sempre conviveu muito bem com meu envolvimento com cripto. É como se fizesse sentido, sabe?

Eu queria entender, vocês passam por essas questões? A busca pela desintermediação financeira perpassa por outras buscas de relações mais diretas? Eu é algo do meu eu hippie e ngm ta nem ai com isso?

Quando comecei a investir em criptos, eu não buscava informações das utilidades ou então qual o proposito das criptos, sim eu não buscava nenhuma informação, mais dê inicio me preocupava com minha segurança então antes de começar a investir, busquei informações de qual corretora, seria a mais apropriada e segura, acabei escolhendo a Binance por ser a maior corretora do mundo.

Então comecei o meu primeiro investimento com 110 reias em (ada/cardano), não lembro em qual período mais obtive um bom retorno, achando que eu não podia perder dinheiro fiz meu proxímo investimento, R$1000 em (cake/pancakeswap), e no início foi otimo em um uníco dia obtive um lucro de 60 reais, mais 1 semana depois todo o valor que tinha investido, derreteu mais de 50% então esse foi o meu primeiro constrangimento no mercado cripto.

depois desse período eu parei de investir por alguns meses, até que decide estudar sobre as funcionalidades e as utílidades das criptomoedas, então comecei a enxergar tudo de outra forma, passei a entender e compreender as criptos em geral, observei naquele momento que para mim essa seria a maior oportunidade, já que diversas pessoas admiram que através da minha idade e local que moro, eu estejá hoje focado em crescer nesse mercado cada vez mais.

eu iniciei no mercado cripto sozinho, sem amigos que faziam o mesmo ou cursos, foi literalmente sozinho que comecei a me aproximar e se apaixonar por esse mercado, comecei a entender o significado de liberdade e as criptos me proporcionaram isso, eu enxergo esse mercado com uníco onde pessoas podem realmente mudar suas vidas, sendo para mim o mercado mais lucrativo que existe mesmo com altos riscos e alta volatilidade, aqueles que possuem o poder e conhecimento de gerenciar seu patrimonio saber os riscos que deve ou não correr não importa de onde essa pessoas estejá, ou sua condição financeira, esse mercado possibilita grandes oportunidades de mudança para essa pessoa.

Eu quero resumir para você iniciante, busque informações e conhecimento tenha sede por isso, e você terá total capacidade de crescer nesse mercado, eu não descrevi tudo que queria, por que tenho pouco tempo é nem sempre estou ativo no forúm, mais também sei que aqui há diversas fontes de oportunidades, com pessoas grandes passando seus conhecimentos, a quem quer reconhecer.

#10 - Analyze and debate the effects on El Salvador of Bitcoin adoption.

Esse artigo no Portal do Bitcoin chamou minha atenção e acho que vale a discussão aqui

Crônica de um fracasso anunciado: Adoção do Bitcoin em El Salvador completa um ano | Opinião
Para o autor, o presidente Nayib Bukele se nega a dar explicações para o fracasso de um projeto que o país da América Central não precisava

A opinião é bem enviesada contra o Bitcoin

concordo com algumas coisas e discordo de várias

ele cita que o BTC não seria uma boa proteção à inflação pq caiu 60% no último ano enquanto as moedas fiat cairam cerca de 10%, por exemplo
ninguém nega a volatilidade do BTC mas ele tem performado muito melhor que fiat ao longo dos anos, é como um áudio viral que circula pelo whatsapp

"A tendência é de alta infinita, tem umas correçõzinhas de 60, 70, 80% mas depois volta a subir de 10 a 20 vezes..."

Acho que vale a leitura

o que acham, foi um erro por parte de El Salvador adotar o bitcoin como moeda de curso legal?
Se a quotação estivesse mais alta o cenário seria diferente?

Regardless of the outcome of this application, I thank you all for your support and for continuing to participate in this excellent community dedicated to Bitcoin.

I am currently one of the most active members of the forum, especially in the local Portuguese (Portuguese) board and having one or another participation in other boards. According to the latest statistics I am the 6th most active user on the forum:

Lol, I would not have imagined that there are people more active than LoyceV. I probably meet him more on the boards I visit. In the case of ChartBuddy, it's clear why he is at the top because the posting is automated, which makes me think that all of you on that list are some kind of bots.

 

Jokes aside, I remember you from the [banned mixer] campaign and once seen your application and by your performance in the forum, I support it.

I will only present Portuguese topics/posts

#1 - Another excellent work from a forum user, to help the community interact better.

This was originally posted here.

You may want to adjust this, posting an English topic right after saying you'll only post Portuguese topics looks weird.

having spent a few moments in the past, a little further away

That's an understatement, there's a 4 year "gap" in your resume between 2017 and 2021. This is your Merit history since 2018:

Merit sent by joker_josue (Trust list) from January 24, 2018 until September 02, 2022 (source)


Merit received by joker_josue (Trust list) from January 24, 2018 until September 02, 2022 (source)

I've been curious for a while now: what do you mean with "I'm BTC" in your personal text? Is that a typo?

It might be In BTC since 2013 :-)

Most of the time we do not notice but in local boards so many things too to notice. We only notice them once they are in English boards. It amaze me when I see some users from local boards with good contribution and earned a lot of merit in a signature campaign.

@joker_josue, consider you have my support for it. Good luck buddy.

[joker_josue]

It really is true. It doesn't seem to make sense. It was an exception to the rule. 
There is a topic about this in Portuguese. But, I thought it would make more sense to post the original version in English.
As I had already written that sentence, before posting the topic, I didn't notice that I had put "only Portuguese".
I apologize for the lapse. I already adjusted this info in the topic.

Yes it's true, I was further away from the forum during this period without a doubt. It is clear that with this removal he cannot contribute merits, not least because he did not receive them either. But as soon as I became active again, since 2021, I try to share the merits I have available.

Even typing error. English is not my strong point and sometimes google translate does these things.
I entered the Bitcoin world in 2013. And the registration on this forum is proof of that, you can't forget it.

Thanks for the help Royse777.

We should always welcome local merit sources in order to stimulate discussion within local sections, and the chart for July 2022 shows that there is definitely room for improvement in the Portuguese local board's merit/post ratio:

(thanks to Rikafip)

@joker_josue, I wish you the best of luck with your application.

[Coyster]

Good Luck @joker_josue, you have my support, the only thing remains that notwithstanding the number of support you get from us as 'normal' users, only one support counts in this case, and that's from Theymos, i hope he supports you, definitely it won't come quick, except a miracle happens, because there are quite a lot of merit source applications waiting in the pipeline to be accepted, but nevertheless just be patient mate. Good Luck once again.

I always thought franky1 was the highest poster on the forum who has an average post of above 300 per month and 10-15 long constructive post daily, whose presence always visible on the "Bitcoin Discussion", but I'm very surprised to notice he isn't at least among the top 10 listed above. So, however, the merit source system was created to help encourage people who are providing valuable content to the forum, of which the Portuguese shouldn't be left out since Bitcoin is for everyone and everybody deserves a fair share of the forum motivation. So henceforth, I wish you the best of luck in your application for Merit source

[Doan9269]

With your experience on the forum, contributions you've engaged and the earned pedigree of trust i have in you to deliver upto expectation as a merit source, am also very well convinced that you will do justice in the discharge of your responsibilities as a merit source not only to your locale or users you're familiar with but to every member who is a good quality poster to this forum, just as some believed that if you're to know a quality poster, then check on his history and see the caliber of those that merit his account, i believe you've got lot to offer to the forum if the opportunity is given being a merit source, i wish you all the very best with your application and enough endurance while you await the results to your application and lastly, i wish you a calm spirit of wisdom, if your application is successful because you will have lot of encounters from the forum members as a merit source.

Good luck.

[joker_josue]

Good Luck once again.

Patience is something I don't lack! So I'll be waiting, but with a lot of tranquility.
In addition to other applications being analyzed, Theymos is a very busy person. So it's knowing how to wait. 

Also, I believe that now, there will be more scrutiny for what I do, especially the merits I use. So it's about continuing to do my best in this field and helping the community at large.

Thanks for the support.

I am also a very active member in the portuguese board since I joined this forum in 2018.

Joker appeared suddenly,  as LoyceV pointed out, and his posting activity is really impressive.  He is online 24/7, posting in every topic.

I believe he is a good option for a merit source. He certainly reads every post in the portuguese board.

I also read every post of that board, but I really miss another merit source there.

We can see that merit post ratio of portuguese board is very low.

There was a spike recently, but we are still low in merit ratio

[_BlackStar]

joker_josue, I declare support for your application. I never know if theymos will consider some more merit sources in the future as I think several apps from different users are currently waiting for a decision. But I hope you become one of the lucky users among the users who have submitted applications, but I think you should be patient and keep updating your threads regularly until they really consider you.

Now there are only 110 merit sources, so if theymos wants then the number will grow soon.

There are 110 merit sources with a total merit generation of up to 33989 sMerit per 30 days

110 merit sources in a forum of over 3.4 million members is rather too small, way way smaller than I even imagined,  I did not forget the fact that majority of those 3.4 million members are newbies, but I think more merit sources are needed not withstanding.

I have known joker_josue on several parts of the forum, I've also received merits from him a couple of times if am not mistaken, based on his experience and contributions to this great forum, i think he is qualified, and if my support is going to contribute in whatever way, to the acceptance of his merit source application, then I throw in my support for him.

Goodluck to you @joker_josue as we all look forward to the positive result of your application.

It is true that I was not very participative before 2021, but I have always maintained some presence on the forum since 2013.
Now it is undeniable that since 2021, I must have made more than 5500 posts. 

Now there are only 110 merit sources, so if theymos wants then the number will grow soon.

Really 110 sources of merit, seems to be a small number for the size of the forum.
But also, if the idea is to maintain a reasonable criterion in the attribution of merits, so as not to become something banal, the number cannot be extremely large either.
I can even think that it should be a higher number, but there is certainly a set of valid criteria to be so.

The number of users doesn't mean anything: many of them are never used because of evil fees, many are spambots, many are banned, many are bounty spammers and many others don't deserve Merit anyway.
As of last Friday, only 44,190 users ever received Merit.
By saying the total number of Merit sources isn't enough, you're basically saying there are people who deserve to rank up, but are limited by Merit. I don't think that happens much in the English sections, but it could very well be the case on some of the local boards.

[joker_josue]

I don't think that happens much in the English sections, but it could very well be the case on some of the local boards.

I think that's what sometimes happens, in some local boards. For some, the fact that they have difficulties in English does not motivate them to participate outside the local board of their language. If on your board, there are few sources of merits or no sources of merits, you may have a harder time leveling up.

Therefore, I congratulate the various sources of merit, who occasionally visit local boards (even when they don't know that language) in search of good topics/posts.

Yes, you are right mates, there are a lot of users who are worthy enough to receive merits but they can't receive merits. On every local board, there are many merits worthy threads written in their language because of the reason that they are not a good English speaker. Merit source in every local board is very important to motivate his/her fellow countrymen to create more quality threads written in their languages.

Therefore, I congratulate the various sources of merit, who occasionally visit local boards (even when they don't know that language) in search of good topics/posts

Yes and one of those generous merit sources who visited in local boards is LoyceV as I experience that he gave some merits in my local boards Philippines, I don't know if he understand my language but still I admire him.

[Rikafip]

I am glad to see that you finally decided to apply for a merit source status as Portuguese local board could certainly use one more, judging by your merit/post ratio which is below average for a local board, info which I often mentioned in my local boards overview. You being one of the most active members on the forum is certainly another big plus so good luck with your application!

I am grateful for your support. I think you were one of the ones that motivated me to make this application. Bitmover too, and the two of you were primarily responsible for being here now.

Now it's just a matter of waiting how it goes. Maybe a year from now, I'll earn this privilege.

Fivestar4everMVP, I agree with what LoyceV said; the number of profiles is not important for some of the reasons above. But if you check bpip, then you will definitely see that there are only 57,950 active users on the forum in the last 3 months. Think half of them are newbie and bounty hunters, so 110 merit source seems enough to be expected to make the current merit system work although some additional merit source are also needed in the local board.



I quoted DdmrDdmr data from last september 2 to show here too.

Updated the Merit Dashboard to reflect the most recent sMerit available data:

Total sMerit: 1.285.279
Total TXs:       691.708
From Users:     24.522
To Users:         44.190
minDate:        2018-01-24 22:12:21
maxDate:       2022-09-02 02:51:32

Now it's just a matter of waiting how it goes. Maybe a year from now, I'll earn this privilege.  

OP, I support your application too. I hope you are lucky. Meanwhile, you can still share 1 sMerit for every 2 merit you earn at any time. So don't worry because you can still contribute even for a small amount.
