I have been running a node for years but I am just trying to get enough merit so that I can add photos to my posts.

Do you have any ways that I can get some merit for running a node on a Ras Pi or does it have to be on a desktop computer?

You actually don't need to post a photo - I stopped processing those months ago. All you need to do is paste the output of the getblockchaininfo RPC command.

Also, you don't have to only run it on a desktop - you can run it on any device you want! Please, be creative if you want.

Hey OP,

Your thread rules state that anyone who wants to participate must have at least 30 activities and 50 posts. But some members are participating without obeying the rules, so can they participate here with 30 activities.

Those entries will simply be ignored.

@Cgrexp your activity/posts is too low to qualify for this challenge. Come back later.

Here it seems that we have been discriminated against because when we ran this note earlier, we were given 14 merits. And now everyone will get double merit, this seems to me to be discrimination. However, it is your personal matter, you can give whatever you want. However, I come here sometimes, although I will not be able to run this note anymore, but I sometimes see if those who do are doing it properly.

It's not discriminatory, it's to capitalize on the increased traffic this forum is getting as a result of the new Bitcoin ATH.

It's like getting a discount for Black Friday from a website.

Dear brother, the initiative you have taken is definitely good. Those who join before December 1 will get 24 merits instead of 14.

Here it seems that we have been discriminated against because when we ran this ~~note~~ earlier, we were given 14 merits. And now everyone will get double merit, this seems to me to be discrimination. However, it is your personal matter, you can give whatever you want. However, I come here sometimes, although I will not be able to run this ~~note~~ anymore, but I sometimes see if those who do are doing it properly.

My opinoin is that since those who run and complete this ~~note~~ at present will get double merits, accordingly I also deserve merit because we also have the right here because earlier we had successfully run Bitcoin Core and downloaded it.

Anyway, don't think anything, I just said it jokingly, brother. I see your work and post, you do very good quality work. I posted here again after a long time.

OP recently stated that on Nov'14 only those who join the challenge for 14 days will receive double merit from 14 to 24 before December first. So, I don't think you've been discriminated neither any of old participants complained about being discriminated too. This argument makes no sense afterall i guess.
