[March 2024 update] Indian Board activity on Bitcointalk

[Bureau]

What is that pakhitheboss was second last month and I am at the top  Now we are better than the Bangladesh local board, not better than the Pakistan local board  I can only say that it is a good comeback by our local board, largely due to the contest that was extended last month. I think another contest would make us beat the Pakistan local board. Someone should think about some contest to get our local board on that position.

Contest can be one of the reason but whoever keep the Indian board active not doing because of monetary benefits but to make something better and not to let the board stranded. Still the number of active members are same that we used to have but everyone trying their best to keep the board active.

Compared to other board like Bangladesh and Pakistan the number of active members are very less here, so we can only climb further if new members join that hopefully happens since the price started to surge already before the halving.

@Bureau, congratulations on becoming Senior Member.

Agreed with your point! There are Indians who are active on other boards I have seen them posting everyday. They do come once in a while to the local board, if they contribute on a daily basis then the activity should increase. I don't think with Bitcoin price going up we might see an influx of new members on the local board. The condition created by the government are not suitable for crypto anymore.

Thanks for those two merits and getting me ranked up.

Good to see someone taking the lead with posting on the local board. Yeah, it has been some time since someone dethroned me from the top position. Congratulation @Bureau as after a year you are now a Senior Member. Please keep on the good work and be active.

It is very difficult to gain activity on the local board as a handful are regular on the board. I am again going to try to increase the activities by starting a contest on our favorite sports. I do not know how effective it would be as I understand a lot of Indians hate to be on this board due to its past. I have committed myself in getting our local board at par to our neighbors and if everything goes in our way then we will be able to gain a good outcome in graphs.

You deserve the position though. In fact, now that you have become a Sr.Member it shows you effort you have put in.
We only expect more from you and keep contributing towards the Indian board.


Bitcoin price has been rising fast lately and this is a good time to take some steps to increase the activity on this board now.
How about organizing a contest for reddit users to create an account on bitcointalk.
For example: We will post a thread on reddit and ask people to create account on bitcointalk and make a useful post in the Indian section along with reddit username to qualify for a lucky draw.
Just a thought.

Board activities are not looking good and it is now evident that the decline has started happening. I will try to be more active here to increase the number of posts as there are a few pieces of information that I think are suited here. The current issue that has been created by the government is one of the main reasons why we are not seeing new members here. All of us still can revive the board by only being active and contributing here.

Even the small community of active members feel exhausted after keep trying and trying. The unavailability of merit distribution is one of the main reason why Indians are active more on global board than Local board so I am thinking anyone who is somewhat established can apply to be a merit source to reactivate.

Just a question to whoever active here, who can be the perfect candidate to apply for merit source?

You are right about merit distribution but we can't do anything for that as we don't have any active merit source. I doubt we will have any senior members who would be interested in applying for merit source application. I have been using global boards to get merits and to some extent I have been successful. I think that reactivating the local board is a lost hope. I will still remain active here and keep on posting from my part.

You guys are welcome to apply for merit source and please don't think that I am out of this board. Someone fraud who made me believe that the local board would be able to achieve what was it before came out to be be a non Indian.

His agenda of getting jobs from design from the forum got accepted as he was using our local board and he still gets it a s he is the merit source. He is a fraud and he knows it.

@Bitcoin Smith @Bureau, please be active. If that frauds comes up and says anything negative about me. Do remember I have never thought about being a merit source. I am still working on other things. I will not be active anymore on the local board as I feel this board is now being controlled by non Indians.

Sorry to hear that, I hope you are doing well after having suffered a ban from the community. I have been banned on other sites and I know how it feels coming back to the site after that.

Reminds me of the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" - a classic movie indeed.

But I hope you change your mind and come back to the section soon, your efforts never go in vain if you are consistent and determined in what you do.

Exactly you keep on doing what is best for the board and one day you will succeed. I understand the frustration that you have been going through and that phase will pass like everything. We need to be focused to our goal of making the local board better than others in the forum.

I was not aware that @pakhitheboss got banned. I hope everything is fine with you and do stay active as you are the one we a few look forward to here.

Thanks a lot, guys for your concern, you guys are the best if I can say in terms of bonding. I got a temp ban for a week @Bureau and I am now back active and rocking. I know who was behind it and that is the reason I am no longer interested in coming back to this board. If possible I will share my thoughts and if I have merits I will spend it on posts that are worthy enough to get merits.

BTW, please join my prediction contest and for you guys, apply to the contest rest assured you guys will be enjoying it. If you do not win it does not matter but your participation will help me in the future which will shape your future in the forum too.

Do not forget that another prediction contest is still live and rocking from BC.GAME with a participant-exclusive discussion thread.

As you can all see, things are falling apart, Indian community is getting thinner and thinner on bitcointalk.

Any chance for the resurrection?

[Bureau]

^ I have no clue how to work around with all those negative issues surrounding crypto and the local board. Current situation related to crypto in our country is in negative trajectory and we can see it's effect on the local board. A large number of active users have either quit the forum or not interested in any discussion here. I think we need to wait for the next bull run and hopefully we might see an increase in activities here.

Government not being friendly is one of the reason but there are other countries which are more hard on cryptos still their local community is keep on rising.

Lack of merit circulation is primary reason in my opinion for loss of interest from members. And it's official that HH made it clear that he is no longer a merit source.

I'm not a merit source,
.

Hence, I have retired from the position

I do not think merit is the problem here as there was a time when merits were distributed generously, sill activities were an issue. I remember you posting a few topics of your own and others on a merit thread run by hugeblack and he distributed a few merits. As per my understanding, we can easily get merits from the global source by either contacting them or by using their merit threads. The whole issue is the negative policy of the government that has stopped newbies from enrolling in the forum and another thing is that not everyone is aware of the forum's existence and that there is an Indian local board.

When I checked last time, hugeblack locked his merit giveaway thread for local boards and I don't think any other merit source has a thread especially to improve the engagement in Local boards.

Now we are on our own, we can get merits from local boards and spend it here, but it won't be the same as merit generated by source every month.

If government's negative policies towards crypto is stopping people from India to adopt crypto then you are wrong, I have been watching the Reddit India closely the community is getting bigger and bigger.

People may not know the existence of Bitcointalk but they will get the results on top only if the engagement of Bitcointalk India grows, so the results will appear on top when someone search crypto - India in search engines.

I do try to give back what merits I earn to this section of the forum. However getting merits in from the global sections everyday is tough and not having a merit source dedicated to the section sucks even hard.

Good to see @pakhitheboss coming back, I was starting to think they had left.

Merits only awarded in certain boards on global section and possibly between the names that everyone is familiar with.

Currently, there is no merit source for Indian board, and I have been repeating on multiple threads someone who is reputed, legendary and been here longer can apply for the position. As I see you can be one of that contender, so if you are interested feel free to drop the application on Meta and I am sure everyone here will be supporting it.
