Topic: Merit System Upgrade - page 20. (Read 34962 times)

I agree with you about altcoins. I’ve said before that altcoins have a place and theymos rightly gave them a section to brainstorm and foster a sense of community. You have to understand I’m not this forum, I don’t work here, I’m not a moderator or administrator. I don’t make money here and I support bitcoin. The people in this thread are asking me for merit, they are not asking the forum for merit. There are people in the altcoin section giving out merit.

You don’t understand the issues concerning bitcoin or how to correct them. PoW does not make bitcoin unprofitable. PoW is simply a method of generating new coins and securing the network. PoS, while more environmentally friendly, allows a few empowered stakeholders to lord over the masses (even with randomization). Bitcoin’s blockchain doesn’t need to be as long and unwieldy as it is. SPV clients solve that issue as will eventual pruning. Bitcoin’s temporally high transaction fees and long block times will eventually be solved by increasing the block size or with a second layer solution. I suppose I’m the kind of person that would prefer to fix what’s already working and established rather than chucking it all out and starting over.

You’re right, I do look at all of your post history. I ask you to list posts that you feel deserve merit because you may need help understanding what is valuable enough to receive merit. If you can’t figure out how to post effectively you will never receive any merit other than what I give you in this thread. I’m not giving away enough for anyone to rank up without additional work.

You are an example of this concept. Your posting style is either very fast and you don’t spend enough time reviewing or English is a second language for you. You will need your average post to become more intelligible in order to rank up.

You say repeatedly that bitcoin is the “king of crypto” so I know you appreciate bitcoin but you are very much an altcoin supporter. I believe you primarily came here to make money but are attempting to really participate in discussions, at least in the altcoin sections. I’m afraid I can’t award you merit right now. You’re going to need a little more history before I can help you.

I have been in this forum since 2015 and i need 500 Merits for to past next rank i chose some post and if you support me i will be happy !

You say that a forum member needs to talk just about bitcoin. Yes, bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency and turned the world upside down. But all becomes outdated and there are new altcoins who are changing the world of cryptocurrency for the better. Bitcoin uses POW algorithm and a long transaction, it is now becoming unprofitable and many understand it.
About gaining merit. I believe that the main reason for the introduction of merit is the limitation of the number of participants in the bounty companies. Users want to increase their rank just to earn more than now and it's normal. The merit that will be presented by you will still be used for earnings on bounty companies, that is, for earnings on altcoins. I understand you were one of the first members who created and supported this forum and you certainly deserve respect, but the capitalization of altcoins is growing and more and more people trust them and want somehow to capitalize on this.

I already read the OP and here is his/her statement:

From this I can understand that he will search our post history by himeself but most of the people are posting their links to their posts includes you thats why I asked like that bro.

You should have the time to read their OP or you really probably don't deserve their time or merit; would you say that's fair?

It is very clear what the rules/expectations are in the OP. I would answer more directly, but all I would do is quote OP entirely.

How to ask for thr merit review in this thread?

Is that I need to post links to the quality posts of mine here?Or you will check it by yourself?

If you need links then it is below:

*I mostly concentrate of service discussion and altcoin section,so I don't have more posts in bitcoin discussion.

This thread is really cool; I've been doing something similar, but since I am not a source I've been pretty consistently low on merit since the start. It would be pretty cool to take part on your "game show" you've got running here.

I seem to have been spending a lot of my time recently in the Meta section, but I assure you I am very interested in becoming more informed about Bitcoin. In fact I gave dacoinminster a merit after reading through previous replies and doing some research on omni. Hadn't heard of that until reading through the thread, actually.

Your questions are good, the criteria are even better; I like what you're doing and wouldn't mind if it helped me to learn more and continue my similar thread.

You don’t qualify according to the rules of this thread but I gave you one for the privacy coin thread. It’s kind of a cool list with a good little breakdown of each one. Keep that kind of “value add” posting and you’ll be fine.

Because you don’t have much post history I’m going to split the amount and give you 10 merit. If you continue to participate in bitcoin discussions and pry yourself out of the gambling sub, you should be able to rank up before you reach enough activity. You’re going to need to become more involved and post more.

Hi,
please have a look at this post, it's a list of best privacy coins I've created with a summary of features https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/privacy-coins-list-which-one-is-the-best-2869616
Best regards

I think gambling is too important for the bitcoin ecosystem, The most of casinos sites are too rich with bitcoin, so This is expected if you see in time that gambling could be as much as 50% of the daily transactions of bitcoin. In addition, I think that a lot of members in the bitcoin community are gamblers, and liked to gamble with cryptocurrencies, especially bitcoin instead of gambling with fiat. They can easily access to gambling sites without any restrictions that can found in casinos and gambling site which accept only fiat.
Sorry for the late reply.

Your a purely altcoin bounty hunter. I don’t know enough about what makes alt people tick to be able to help you appeal to their merit giving mindset. You need to look for merit given in that section and see why people are giving it or perhaps ask the giver why they thought that post was worthy of merit.

Good luck to you.

You shouldn’t feel weird. Anyone can look at your post history anytime they want to. I don’t know why anyone would look at someone’s post history because most people’s post history is boring as hell. The reason I asked you why you aren’t applying is because I already looked at your post history. You easily qualify. You understand the value of bitcoin and support it. You truly participate in discussions. You argue bitcoins value over alts at every turn.

It looks like you might be swayed by ethereum but I won’t hold that against you. If you value a currency that has a fixed deflationary quantity versus a maybe we will end the inflation rate some time in the future but no promises currency then you will choose bitcoin. If you like a crypto that has a solid proven PoW security system versus a bipolar PoW/PoS, maybe someday completely PoS, maybe not, currency then you’ll choose bitcoin. No one needs ethereum for smart contracts either, bitcoin can do that with Omni. Even talking about ethereum gives me “gas” (pun intended).

20 merit awarded

I don't know what I'm doing wrong! I'm getting the impression that most of the people don't know Merit, or don’t give a **** to rewarding other people!

I usually don't write big posts, or fully analyze a cryptocurrency, but I think I am a useful member for the community!
If you go through my post you will see that I usually help people out with their doubts!

I really need help... What should I change in my posts in order to get more merit points?
I only have received 2 merits and I need a bunch to rank up to Sr. Member!

Sorry to say but i don't know why i feel weird to direct you toward my 10-20 specific posts.
I will be happy if you go through my post history and rate accordingly, so i would able to know where i am standing.

I can agree with that completely. Altcoins are a diversion from the real reason this forum exists. Making money here is a diversion as well. It’s not the reason for the forum but it is a reason to be here.  If cryptocurrency is going to survive bitcoin will be its best destiny. 20 merit awarded

I would rather say it is the other way round. I came here for interesting discussions as well as to learn, but I must confess that I accidentally got trapped a little bit in making money alongside of it. I see that as just a benefit anyway, not like it really matters. Even without making money on this forum, I have always loved interesting debates and discussions, so that would not have changed anything.

To your second question, understanding and supporting altcoins, should not even stop anyone from learning about bitcoin or appreciating it and vice versa. There is a lot to learn and altcoins are just a little bit part of the puzzle. I cannot say if it directly helps people learn about and appreciate bitcoin or not, but those who are smart enough usually get to know over time that bitcoin has no rival, and altcoins are just there tagging along.
 
Bitcoin is the first and most popular cryptocurrency, with a lot of advantage to those who appreciate it, moreover, most of us who are really here to learn, actually bumped here as a result of our interest in bitcoin, decentralization and the whole idea of blockchain technology, then along the line, we got to familiarize ourselves with altcoins. Also, like I normally say, you cannot compel people to believe what they do not want to believe, experience usually end up teaching them the right thing to believe, so with or without altcoins, those who know the true value of bitcoin won't need anyone to tell them.

Oh my god, that’s very green. I feel like I just flew to the emerald city on the back of a flying monkey. LOL I’m not sure if that benefits anyone or not. I’m sure it benefits advertisers and sig campaign hunters but that’s not really the reason I’m doing this thread. I don’t think I can help you with that but it is pretty though.
