I'm new here

[Lucius]

What is fascinating to me is that someone manages to respond to someone's post in less than 1 minute, so even though the post has been edited, I don't believe that @Cantsay types so fast. In addition, it is not at all suspicious that he gets 3 merits from a newbie

I leave to the forum detectives to investigate if there is anything suspicious in this case...

First I was able to respond fast because I was with my device when the notification came in and also all the links I included in my posts have already been used in my previous posts so all I had to do was to “quote” that post and copy the list arrangement and paste here(since it’s just link).

If you check some other posts that I have responded to you’ll notice that my response time to that of the op is just a little difference and this only occur when I’m with my device.

For the links I included in my post. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5469050.msg62938877#msg62938877 and there’s still just a few minutes difference.

No matter how you look at it, 44 seconds from when the post was published until your reply is perhaps enough to make a copy/paste of a post that you have already prepared - but in any case the matter looks suspicious, and even more so if we add the merits you received (and which you didn't comment).

I see only two possible options:

1. You have already prepared posts on the questions asked by beginners and you want to be the one to answer first and thus increase your chances of getting merits.

2. You create new accounts yourself, ask questions and give answers, and then with your alt accounts you merit yourself.

Welcome to the forum. 
There are already a lot of discussions in this section about new members, you should try hard to read those discussions, I hope you can understand the answer to 50% of the questions that you have in your mind by looking at the discussion of that topic.

In the beginning it is difficult to spend time and patience in the forum so try not to drop out of the forum. As a newbie the way you have created this topic then if you don't understand any topic then you can create topic like this I believe people who know about your specific topic will definitely discuss your topic. 

If you don't know the rules of the forum then first of all know the rules. And I always say in my posts that important topics are always pinned in every section which must be read by a new member.

[Cantsay]

I guess I should acknowledge the fact that everything you said in your reply is a possibility and it’s not impossible to happen but I’ll try to show you a few reasons as to I wouldn’t wast my time, bookmarking or constructing a post and keep somewhere until when needed.

No matter how you look at it, 44 seconds from when the post was published until your reply is perhaps enough to make a copy/paste of a post that you have already prepared - but in any case the matter looks suspicious, and even more so if we add the merits you received (and which you didn't comment).

I have read your replies in other threads here in the beginners & help section, which means you should be aware at the rate at which “I’m new to the forum”, “help me learn”, “welcome me to the forum” type of threads are being created and if one continues to reply the same type of thread there’s a high possibility of you to remember most of the things you used in your previous thread even if it’s not exactly the same, since all you’re doing in the thread is to present; forum rules, some beginner friendly links to help educate them about bitcoin” there’s nothing technical here and it’s very possible that I have some of the links bookmarked already (since I still visit them especially the beginner’s encyclopedia) the rest that were not bookmarked I’ll either use “search” or “old replies to get them”

I know this won’t be of any help here but here’s a draft on how the post were created, if it was an already drafted post it would have been two or possibly one draft space.

1. You have already prepared posts on the questions asked by beginners and you want to be the one to answer first and thus increase your chances of getting merits.

The reason why I’m always active to reply to some posts is actually related to this reason (excluding the already prepared post part), When I reply to posts early I have the notion that I’ll be read by many users and I won’t just be paraphrasing the replies of more than 50 members (and like you said will also increase my chance of getting merits in that post, which I don’t see anything bad about) and another reason is to give exposure to the signature that I’m wearing.

2. You create new accounts yourself, ask questions and give answers, and then with your alt accounts you merit yourself.

If we’re to put this into consideration despite the time and energy that will be wasted in doing such, it would mean I have more than three alts already in this forum because of the rate these type of post are being created.

Well I really don't see why this had to be an issue here mate. If I'm not mistaken, I was once queried by someone about me replying a newbies post at about 2 minutes and I taught I've seen it all.

And look Copyleaks flag your content as AI-generated with very fast response by Hatchy(for 2 minutes).

Many of us use the Telegram bot that notifies us immediately after a post is created. So, for someone who's online and close to their phone, they can quickly reply within 1-2 minutes, even if it's not the complete response, and later edit it to match the thread's requirements.

I see only two possible options:

1. You have already prepared posts on the questions asked by beginners and you want to be the one to answer first and thus increase your chances of getting merits.

2. You create new accounts yourself, ask questions and give answers, and then with your alt accounts you merit yourself.

1. This seems to be true for many Bitcointalk members. If you observe closely, those who provide valuable insights at the beginning of a new discussion have a better chance of earning merits. Posts like "I'm new here," "New here," or "Newbie needs help" are more common in the Beginners and Help board. So, for someone who's consistently active and noticed, they might have already prepared a draft with similar points. Then, when the next post like that appears, they can use these points and add more. Everyone here wants merits because they bring joy and show that we've made a valuable contribution to the discussion.

2. If you're correct, it means that all these similar threads were made by other members trying to get merits. I looked at the merit history of @Turn it off, and I couldn't find anything related to @cantsay. But if these accusations are true, it wouldn't be good for someone with his rank on Bitcointalk.

You need to be patient to learn because the Bitcoin space is very versatile. Many newbies are not teachable that is why they end up not achieving their aim to learn. So you need to be willing to learn from any member in the forum that is giving out the right information. Feel free to asked questions about anything about Bitcoin and you will receive quality answers. You shouldn't also depend on only this forum for information, learn the skill of researching. Don't create threads to teach what you don't have knowledge about. Before you respond in a thread ensure you have read and understand the topic and responses before posting your own to avoid writing off point. Interact in the forum in a respectful manner and never try to engage on criminal activities. If you are helpful to the community, you will gain the respect and trust of members.

Congratulations, good luck on your journey into the cryptocurrency world and may you be able to learn about Bitcoin in the future. Many members have already given you guide lines for Bitcoin and various rules to follow, you must follow them. If you come to get good knowledge about Bitcoin and crypto trading, investing then I say you have come to the right place. If you want to know and learn about Bitcoin, first of all you have to spend a lot of time then only you can know the positive and negative aspects of Bitcoin. I would also suggest you as you are a new member to go to your country board and seek advice from senior members, however that would be best for you.

Welcome to the forum, friend. This is the perfect place for you to learn everything there is to know about cryptocurrencies, particularly bitcoin. I don't have much to say because, even if I did, a lot of other people have already clarified it for you, but as a newbie, I would like to advise you not to assume that visiting this forum will make you wealthy quickly. The reason I'm stating this is because a lot of individuals join this forum based on the news that they have heard about bitcoin, which promises profits and large returns on investments; nevertheless, sometimes it is necessary to learn a lot about bitcoin before making an investment.

One of the best investments I have ever seen is using bitcoin, but you have to learn more about it before you invest. numerous successful bitcoin users today have experienced numerous hardships and risks before reaching their current level of success. Furthermore, this forum isn't just for you to watch people and learn; you can also contribute what you know or hear about bitcoin from outside sources to start a conversation that will encourage everyone to join in. After all, sharing problems solves problems, so the more you share your problems or the questions you pose on this forum, the more people will be able to assist you.

You are welcome, and it is nice to have you here with us. The first thing I always advise newbies to do is know the rules and regulations of the forum, and that will be a great guide for the newbie because someone cannot stay long here if they try to do anything silly that is against the forum rules and regulations. With that, I will advise you to read the rules of the forum well and abide by them before taking any further steps to learn other things in the forum. It will be nice for me to provide you with some links that will guide you about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general, as you said, but now the links I may  give you are what other members have provided you with, so I don't think I need to do that again. What I will say now is for you to go through those links provided for you one after the other and take your time to understand every part of them. Please don't rush when you are going through those materials, because rushing to learn may make you lose some important steps in learning about Bitcoin. And in the process of learning, you may come across something that you do not understand properly. Please don't ask questions; nobody knows. We are here to assist one another in one of two ways.

While he's being patient on learning about how the forum works, he can also get himself busy cruising with the @Ratimov beginners and help encyclopedia https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5364418.0 there are alot to discover about this thread because it comprises alot of useful materials and a general overview of bitcointalk community selected topics years back, it all covers the forum, bitcoin, altcoins, blockchain and other useful cryptocurrency resources needed to start with as a newbie, he should take time reading and learning before posting.
