Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"

Quote from: Swami74 on November 04, 2018, 05:45:02 AM

Reading up on changes to position and gaining rank. Although this affects me negatively l see the merit it what is being introduced and hope spam issues are dealt with. In saying that does seem that with so many altcoin threads, obtaining merit can be like finding a needle in a haystack.
Will work on quality and see what happens.

In your total forum history, you have a lot of one liner posts in seeming bounty hunting threads, so it would be difficult to characterize your posts contributions as quality or attempting to help other members in various ways. You can browse through the posts histories of some members who earn merit and see what they are doing to earn merit - which likely just involves engaging in various threads that are of interest to them (not just bounty hunting)..

and some of us will be here for years as Jr Members because we don't reach 10 merit.

system is officially 'a bit shit' really.

I had a look at your posts, but I wasn't able to view them all since I apparently have some of the sections you posted in on ignore--but I gave you merit for one of them that was pretty decent. You might be posting in some mega spam threads and people may not even be reading what you're writing--I'm not sure.

I disagree with your statement about the system being a bit shit, because it's working to keep the shitposters from ranking up. You might be one example of some collateral damage, and I'll keep an eye on your posts. Based on your posts in this thread it sounds like you probably don't care, but I'm on the look out for members whose posts tend to get overlooked.

So you lied about 2009 then?

Don't know what that drama is about, but this guy at least has some skill at writing. That's more than can be said for 90% of the members here.

S/he has already been shown to be an exaggerator by proclaiming to have had a registered account on the forum in 2009. S/he has also engaged in nonsense repetitive posts that seem intended to increase post count without really adding much substance. S/he has also engaged in a kind of passive aggressive attempt at asserting status in a kind of reverse psychology (or perhaps subtle) way to beg for merits, and surely you have the prerogative to send an smerit (or more) to whomever you want..

Damn right. I've been handing out merits here since 1982 and I've been mining bitcoins with an abacus long before Satoshi came up with his newfangled computery stuff.

You were lucky! I used to dream of using an abacus! Would've been a luxury to me. I mined bitcoins for three months while living in a lake. I used to have to get up at three in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of hot gravel for breakfast, go to work at the bitcoin farm for 3 satoshi a month, and mine bitcoin by carving the operations in to my own arm with broken bottle!

i am pretty sure it was 2009...

So what's your original username?

Next time instead of "I've been here since before you were in diapers so I know stuff" try actually posting stuff.

that's not what i was saying.. i think you were reading me wrong.
maybe i do have my dates wrong.. your profile states you registered in 2014, but i can be almost sure i seen you around in 2012...

how very strange.

thank you, however it wasn't my intent to beg for merit. i will of course, pass it on with due consideration.
i am pretty sure it was 2009... i cpu mined from my home (in france at the time) just as gpu's hit the network...
it was a long time ago and i've done rather a lot with my life since then... anyhoo...

i do think the system could be improved slightly.. and if i come up with a 'how' rather than just a rant and a 'multipost' i'll put it forth.

meanwhile... be kind to one another, i am still in crypto for the same reasons i was at the very beginning.

the point was that Jr Members could remain as Jr Members for many many years...
not that it is important to me personally, it was just an observation - however, with weight it is deemed by others that i was referring to my own experience, and not a general observation.

thus: interent formus is a disease which exists still to this day.

yeah my first bctalk account was in 2009.
i moved around the world a lot, so have ducked in and out.

What happened with your account from 2009?

forgot the password, didn't use it for so long.. got locked out.

same with my second account :/

If you did not value your BTC talk forum accounts enough in order maintain them, then the existence of such account(s) (if so) would not necessarily contribute to your current supposed increased status that you are attempting to assert with your current account.

Accordingly, if you have meaningful forum experiences, then perhaps you will be able to share those forum experiences and continue to make contributions to the forum, and sooner or later your experiences could be able to shine through your contributions, perhaps? that is if you don't get too caught up in trying to assert largely irrelevant status claims that no one can really verify (and it does not matter too much) anyhow.

By the way, if you are merely attempting to assert status without having access to the prior accounts, then that seems merely a sign that you are relying on the wrong types of factors in order to get other posters to appreciate your past contributions, assuming they exist.

i am not entirely sure that it was lack of upkeep... i recall owning multiple domains.. one of which eventually became a btc gambling site and my email which was used to register ~~somethingorother~~@lecoquin.net fell by the way side when i gave up the domain...

and yeah, it's just another internet forum so i'm not that precious about it all to be honest.

so whatever...

and it does not matter too much

is the moral of the story.
