I posted a suggestion in regards to Signature Campaigns, unfortunately, people started to discuss the necessity of Signature Campaigns in general instead of picking up the topic, which is sad because I think that this would really improve the forum.

Bitcoin is a unique and trendy topic when it comes to mind especially when it comes to profits and earnings that many of us can get. Therefore many
newbies get interested and becomes prone to scammers. So here are some of the tips I learned from my friend that I wish to share:
Tip #1 Fake and imitation wallets and exchanges
To start with, as someone who is new to bitcoin you will have to deposit your money, right? Therefore you must exchange your $$$ to BTCBTCBTC. But how do we deposit w/out being scammed or hacked? Well, for me it's best to use the well-known exchanger. Here are some w/ their own pros and cons:
Coinbase
+ easy to use and set up, gdax is a friendly interface
+ seem to be fewer problems withdrawing money than other exchanges
- tends to go down during traffic spikes
- limited to BTC/ETH/LTC
- randomly shutting down accounts/customer service
Poloniex
+ highest volume for many coin pairs
- lots of complaints about withdrawing money
- goes down periodically (went down for 3 days in August)
Bittrex
+ lots of currency pairs
+ reliable, never goes down
- clunky interface
Kraken
+ seem to be fewer problems withdrawing
- slow to get verified
- very slow during peak traffic
Bitfinex
+ nice interface
- seem to be withdrawing problems
- customer service
- no support for USA customers after October 2017
Gemini
+ low fees
+ available in more locations (Washington state, New York)
- takes long time to register
Liqui
+ easy to use
- can't withdraw fiat currency
- seem to be problems withdrawing currency sometimes
Binance
+ good customer service
+ low transfer fees
+ gives gas for neo
- slow under heavy load

Tip #2 Never trust anyone
Someone would probably chat you through various social media. Well, don't trust anyone, it's best to block them ASAP especially when they will teach you how to earn a lot easily. There's no easy money here. And lastly, don’t send money or bitcoin anywhere unless you know exactly who you’re sending it to.
Tip #3 Virus and malware downloads
This is the most common and the most easy way of hacking today when we download applications that contain malware and virus. As always, you shouldn’t click on unknown email attachments or potentially dangerous links.
But there are ways to secure your security even if you have downloaded malware/virus in your PC or phones.
-Use two-factor authentication
-Use a “cold” offline wallet. A “hot” wallet is one that’s connected to the Internet, while a “cold” wallet is one that’s held offline.
you should be able to know about these two ways if you want to secure your bitcoin wallets.
Tip #4 Common sense
This is probably the best tip I can give, always use your common sense before making your decision. If you buy, then know what or how you should be able to buy it safely, or even trading money. Never believe on too-good-to-be-true opportunities and lastly, always do a research about everything you haven't known yet. Bitcoin is very complex and requires you to keep on learning, avoiding to get scammed is part of it.
If you have any addition to these common tips i gave please let us know .Let's help each other especially those who are still new to this environment.

To admins, high rank members and members,
We should have the right to give negative trust to a bounty managers or rate their records. This must be the answer to prevent wasting our time and efforts. In that case this will push them to examine their project carefully before they're going to post their thread here. Or else they will put their name on shame. As what I had experienced as a newbie member here, I had wasted so much time and efforts creating and sharing those project just to promote them but it ended up on nothing. I like what I'm doing but it is very stressful when you ended up on nothing! Maybe some of the Bounty manager here really know from the beginning that their project was really a scam but because of the shares they will have they intended to make a newbie account or use their secondary account just to make money through scamming. For me it is acceptable if the project ended on not reaching their soft cap rather than ended up on a scam project that's hurt a lot!
NO TO SCAM PROJECT!!
PREVENT A SCAM PROJECT!!!
NEWBIE MUST NOT PUT THEIR EFFORT IN VAIN!!!!

There are so many bounty managers here but do we know who to choose? I am suggesting here that what if, bitcointalk.org must have an accredited "Bounty Managers" ? Those bounty manager must under go on,
1. Verification, the purpose of it is to know if that person really exist.
2. Capable, in managing the project and has a complete team members because he/she can't handle it alone.
3. Membership, bitcointalk.org must set a requirements to become a "BM", rules and regulation to be among the most trusted and accredited BM in bitcointalk.org.
1. The purpose of this suggestion is to lessen the scam project so that no efforts will be wasted.
2. To prevent blaming the BM if the project will ended up on scam. ( The BM must face consequences, like for ex. He/she is not allowed to conduct a new bounty project for 2 weeks.)
3. Participant that put the blame to the BM must also face the consequence because of disrespecting.
I hope this will help us and notice by the Admins here.

Everything starts with the project’s whitepaper.
[/b]Examine the Team
- Must be verified if that team really exist.
- A solid team will be composed of members with verifiable industry experience, both in business and blockchain development.
- I tend to look for teams with blockchain experience or experience building an open source community or platform on a large scale.
- It’s important for the project to have achieved some milestone to demonstrate the ability to execute.

The project must compliant with the law
- Ask for legal opinions clarifying the token’s nature.
- ICO’s token may be considered a financial instrument and could thus be subject to financial regulation.
- ICO’s token may be considered a financial instrument and could thus be subject to financial regulation.
Evaluate ICO’s market potential
- Analyze the entire plan, especially whitepaper as the project’s core document.
- Compare it with similar projects and determine what makes it so different from others, both positively and negatively.
- Never trust developers who promise you a huge return on investments. They probably just want to take the money and run away.

ICO campaign has a different purposes, you need to learn how to recognize the ones that really have market potential
I HOPE THIS WILL HELP

Hi! Do consider this post of mine and let me know what you think of it 
I think the main problem is that many ICO projects care more about the hype, rather than the business model or the technology behind it. Nowadays, investors are getting smarter and they do a thorough check on ICOs before committing any capital. So, I believe the core business model must be good and have a good use-case first. When this is true, then you must care about the hype of your project. To me, a successful ICO would be determined 60% by the business model & technology, and 40% on the hype created for the project.

Merit worthy for the message this tries to bring to the world, not the post itself. There you go.

I'm wondering if you have had any difficulties maintaining this thread, Gleb Gamow. I have a thread that was extremely similar, and it was moved to the off-topic, because apparently it didn't belong in the marketplace without a BTC transaction. There doesn't seem to be any BTC transactions taking place within this thread, and it appears that you've maintained your status within a reasonable board.
My old thread can be found here : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/smerit-post-review-2819141 , where it is lying dead on the floor, because off-topic is too rambunctious.
I might as well submit it in the format you are looking for, so here goes -
therefore, under the proper circumstances it would seem appropriate to offer this service. I do not have malicious intent and if there is anyone with any reasonable objections to this then I will cease or adjust accordingly.
I am willing to review posts that you link within this thread; I will look at the posts and if I see them as helpful/informative I will merit you based upon that. It's obvious that I cannot view every board/post, and therefore it would seem reasonable that those that feel their post is heavily under-merited should have a place for even a minor "appeal".
I do not have very much sMerit to go around, but I will be taking a look at the linked posts where you believe yourself (or others) to have posted helpful, informative, interesting or high-quality content that is undervalued merit-wise.
Please leave your posts, thoughts, comments, complaints and concerns below; I am very interested to see how this plays out. If this is not allowed, I will stop, but as I understand it this is acceptable and shouldn't be frowned upon unless my intentions are misunderstood.
Please submit your links similarly to :
You can write a comment, a request or whatever else, but leave the links plain, one per line, without any numbers, bullets or tags in front of them or behind them. If a link is on that line, nothing else should be.
Do not post useless comments or unproductive posts here; they will be deleted and go unanswered.
Are X posts eligible? : I don't know, link the post you believe to be helpful.
I plan to delete spam and posts that I have reviewed, however if I do grant merit I will leave your post for reference, comparison, etc.
* I will occasionally be meriting the threads I have already merited with more merit.* If I have spare merit and it seems to be the case that I can afford it with the pace of this thread, I'll slap a +1 on all those I've reviewed and accepted.
This is not a sale of sMerit, this is a review service offering the potential at sMerit to those that have earned it
Local-Rule : Do not format your links with tags, hyperlinks, lists or line-breaks. I will delete/reject your submissions instantly.
Local-Rule : Do not post more than 5-links in one post, do not post another submissions until I have responded to your first.
Local-Rule : Only submit posts written in English.
It is encouraged to send posts of another user, along with your own so we can spread the Merit properly and pay it forward.
I do not want Merit as a result of this, I simply want to use my sMerit as meaningfully as possible

Hi, I have a question, how to get the next status - member?
I know that it is necessary to respond in detail, to help ... but who puts this status?
If you want to be a member you must have merits. This Merits is a new system that is applied in this bitcointalk world that aims to reduce one's spam. If you want to get merits, you must make a quality post and must be in accordance with the international language of English.I know that it is necessary to respond in detail, to help ... but who puts this status?

I have an idea (again )
Maybe this would be just a kind of symptomatic treatment like the painkillers, but anyway painkillers also help, at least for a while...
Somewhere I have read to let users to ignore complete topics (spamming megathreads, etc...) to have an easier overview of the new topics and posts in this shitpost ocean, where the quality posts are as rear as desert islands...
So, my idea is the following:
If someone, someday will decide to start to ignore the spam threads and the spammer users, and works hard on it, after a while he/she will have a decent list of the topics/users to ignore.
In the current situation, each and every user have to do the same, search for all the topics/posts to ignore, if they want to have a clearer view in the end.
I would propose a kind of 'filter' which is similar to an adblock addon, like you can input a list of threads/users to ignore and that would apply for you only, and after the forum would list only the relevant topics, posts for you.
Everybody would be able to set the ignore list up for himself/herself, but there should be an option to 'load' a list from someone who you trust/agree with/like/etc... or from a central repository.
Just and example:
I know that e.g. JetCash has a quite long ignore list, so if some users are happy with JetCash's ignore list, they could apply that filter for themselves as well, and they would save the effort for themselves...
I know it's hard to develop and to implement, but this is only an idea...
If people would start to use a solution like this, this would cause that spammers and shitposters won't bother the majority of the forum, but only each other and the few remaining users who won't apply any kind of 'filter', because this would only be optional (I don't want to force anybody to do anything...)
Let me know your cons

So, I had enough trying to locate a working neutrino compatible node for the LN mainnet (I don't want to run a full node on the raspberry PI, because this is the point of the neutrino node).
So I switched to testnet and voilá...
So I'll start now with testnet and later on with the mainnet...
So I switched to testnet and voilá...
Code:
lnd –bitcoin.active –bitcoin.testnet –debuglevel=debug –bitcoin.node=neutrino --noencryptwallet --neutrino.connect=faucet.lightning.community
It's running (OK, still "Catching up block hashes"), but at least there's no problem with finding proper nodes to connect to.So I'll start now with testnet and later on with the mainnet...
