Where there is demand there is market without debating is it legal or illegal.

As we known, selling merit is an illegal trading

Theymos will do something for this

As I've said before, I'm not really worried about it. Especially at those high prices (plus the risk of being red-tagged), it's enough of a barrier that it should still serve its intended function of creating a significant cost/barrier for garbage-posters.

BTW, if any merit source goes rogue and sells a ton of merit, then I will probably go through the transaction graph and undo all of the transactions touched by that sold source-merit. Merit ain't no immutable cryptocurrency!

I think it would be fairly easy to spot people selling merits en mass. Most merit sources probably won't want to risk their account or reputation being ruined for a little bit of cash and I think most will get busted sooner than later. It would probably be far more profitable to use that account to earn from signature campaigns or whatnot anyway. Why don't you add more donator ranks like Silver & Gold Members? If people are going to the trouble of buying accounts and merit then why not let them legally buy the benefits of the rank from the forum instead? Most people who sell accounts and merit here are just scammers with neither to sell in the first place, so lets cut out the shady middleman and eliminate the shady/scammy market. It might actually cut down on the needless merit begging threads and people creating content with the sole intention of trying to receive merits as well. We already have Copper Member with the benefits of being a Member so why not add Silver and Gold that have the benefits of Full and Heroes respectively? I don't see any negatives to this and the benefits are numerous.

Merit will only come eventually for users who are showing people that he is truly making an effort to change by improving his posts quality over a period of time, I believe it would be hard for some newbie users to get any merit if they still insists to make tons of low quality posts, my advice to them is to embrace the change and start putting in more time and efforts to increase the overall quality of their posts slowly.

Of course! That was/is the intention of merit. And exactly this way I understand it...
But when people - mostly Newbie are seeing posts like this below, which was merited today, or contests (like this one: LINK) they can be little bit confused is merit really about contriubution in forum society?


I would like to join airdrop which holds VestChain. What are the main conditions? Where can I find a link to airdrop itself? Someone tell me me who else has this information?
This is good project. I will keep an eye on this project.
No one interested in Contrarian Betting? I guess you prefer the Crowd Wisdom  Grin Grin
For me your post was so chaotic and visually confusing that it was too hard to even read it.
i think mine in today is good if you have some money to pay electric bill around 2 month.
cryptomarket in Q4 price will rise you can sell it and take profit
Is that a new game or you guys are cooperating with EOSBet?
Not only personal social movement but also businesses are also taking part in the Social Chains.
I wonder whether a larger exchange ? Personally, I do not like these two exchanges Ibex and Coss. There is very little liquidity on these exchanges
I have not been here for a long time. All the same posters. All the same posts. Long way of endless to beat the air and mill the wind.
Yπάρχει κάπoιoς πoυ θα ενδιαφερόταν να γράψει ένα άρθρo για τo bitcoin site μoυ;
Eίναι καινoύργια η ιστoσελίδα και έχω ήδη πάρει μερικά θετικά reviews από site τoυ εξωτερικoύ.
www.bitfortip.com
Όπoιoς έχει site ή blog με θέμα τo Bitcoin και ενδιαφέρεται, ας μoυ στείλει πρoσωπικό μήνυμα.

last one I've translated with google translator to see how one can get 40 merits for single post from Legendary guy and maybe learn something - that's what i got:
Quote
"Is there anyone who would be interested in writing an article on my bitcoin site?
It's new to the site and I've already got some positive reviews from a foreign site.
www.bitfortip.com
Anyone who has a Bitcoin site or blog and is interested, let me send a personal message."

Suming up the concept of merit is great but there is still needed some more control of its distribution because when Newbies read some "guides" about the "rules" how to get merit, than make some unsuccessful try writing posts and then see posts like these... They loose enthusiasm and start to look other ways to get merit for example buying. That's why i'm not suprised at all that merit blackmarket started up...

Merit source only? IMO, it would be nice to go through the transaction graph of simple users who explicitly hand out tons of merits. I understand it's hard enough. But still. Then buyers will think before buying merits.

Primary costumers are the whiners here in the forum who spams a lot complaining about why are they demoted when obviously you can read it because it was posted here. smh.

Simple tip: Dont be too desperate to rank up. It will come eventually.

But I believe with time, those selling their merit, it will get exhausted and everything will be back to normal. 

Everything will turn into normal when everybody start thinking of the honest route. If users just want shortcuts then scam/selling will always flourish.

I just like to quote a modified version of old saying.

Buy a Merit today, you have solved the problem for today. Learned ,how to earn the Merit, you have solved the problem for lifetime.

Oh well, I suppose we will soon see a Pump and Dump Smerit Telegram channel. Or Buyer will realize, in the long term...
Should we HODL or sell some (?) since the merit market is having bull run I guess  Tongue

But on a serious note merit trading is getting more popular on the telegram groups these day, most of them have turn into scamming, But I believe with time, those selling their merit, it will get exhausted and everything will be back to normal.

wondered who has +50 merits to sell?? definitely, a high ranked member or may be group of them(+5) who can give 10merits each Huh 
Or they're just a scammer taking their chances. Let me tell you that probably the majority of people selling accounts and merits these days have no accounts or merits to sell at all.

This is actually the truth but many will doubt this and due to their ignorant they'll all fall victims to these scammers. Some how I feel they deserve it, I mean why search to buy what you can earn. Just enjoy yourself in the forum, care less about the whole merit thing. be original in your post and don't post because you're force to (bounty) and they will start coming.
Instead of wasting that $14 on merits that can be taken from you at any point in time when forum administrators link you to seller, add some spear dollars to it and get yourself altcoin when it rises, trade them for bitcoin, who knows it might be the beginning of your success story in cryptocurrency.

I think anyone caught doing this should be immediately banned to ever posting here.

The unofficial rule says...

Can I sell merit?

Selling merit is disallowed.

Meaning there are no clear direction however DTs will tag though.
