Topic: Merit System Upgrade - page 24. (Read 34962 times)

I think the system is just too new for people to have the habit of using merit yet. In time, people will get used to it and it will become second nature. Unfortunately, you fall into several categories that I can’t help. I don’t understand any Turkish and you’re just too new here for you to have really started participating. I don’t help Member and below because there just isn’t enough post history to evaluate but thanks for stopping by.

You have a few really good posts but your primarily a bounty hunter and an altcoin person. Those are both of the categories that I don’t help. The quality of your posts will eventually gain you some merit from someone in the altcoin section. If you begin paying as much attention to discussions as you do twitter campaigns you should have no problem ranking up. I’m sorry I couldn’t help you. Thanks for stopping by.

a good idea to help. I need to use it correctly when I get the merit. important to raise your rank. many people are not sending. it's really good to do something like that. Thanks

... and 10 sMerit to give out in the next days. Thanks a lot, QuestionAuthority! I will use them as wisely as I can.

I think it’s almost impossible to hang out in Adam’s thread without learning a lot about bitcoin. While the discussions are usually obnoxious and strange, bordering on perverse, they are also filled with information about every aspect of the bitcoin economy. That’s because those people are attempting to suss out the next micro move of the usd/btc exchange rate. That kind of in-depth discussion creates an immense background noise of knowledge (and perversion).

You are definitely participating and have a good foundation in crypto knowledge. You definitely aren’t a bounty hunter only here to make money and you are not even a signature spammer.  20 merit awarded.

Oh right I hadn't really thought of that part. No I've only ever scammed myself. He gave me a medal over a difference of opinion on business practices...

Many thanks for the merit. Will use it judiciously I hope. This has been a chastening experience.

Yeah, that’s kind of what I thought. I dug into it a little but couldn’t find anything substantial about you scamming anyone. I don’t see any risked btc so I’m going to award you 20 merit.

You were defo one of the ones I had in mind.

I am also almost exclusively following the Wall Observer thread. It is my first source for Bitcoin related news and sentiment. Besides, there are bits of interesting technical discussion at times, and of course a good 60% of totally irrelevant noise. I often wish I had more sMerit to give out.

Whoops I already have. The post didn't get much traction, I guess as there was a lot else going on. I've deleted it now and hope it won't disrupt you here too much.

Thanks for the feedback. I admit I can be somewhat 'over-visual' or 'under-literate' or just 'lazy'.

OgNasty's trust comments read: "Stating that NastyFans (a transparent and provably honest organization) is a scam. Pathetic slander. Do not trust those who go out of their way to spread lies".

I called him out a few times, sometimes with some minor trolling, and sometimes 'going out of my way' (to protect newbies), on those very points of transparency and provability. He has not published accounts.

He took in more btc than he made for people, even after it was clear - maybe during 2013 - that mining at that level was not a profitable investment. He obfuscates his business by hiding behind a fan club.

I am not 'lying', but I might be mistaken. The only way to know if I am wrong about him is if he were to publish his accounts strictly in btc terms. (He gives odd irrelevant dollar prices for odd years sometimes).

If he was transparent and I was wrong, I'd admit it and apologise. If he made his investors whole again in btc terms, he wouldn't be a scammer in my judgment, just untrustworthy.

Even theymos doesn't seem to think he's a financier any more, and rightly closed up shop pronto. Og can't see that he could similarly semi-recover from his errors.

Great Idea,

if this thread is still active, I would also definitely appreciate some merit. I post both for Bitcoin and select Alt-Coins.


All the Best

It doesn’t matter what section you post in because I’m judging the persons involvement in the discussion, not the topic. Please don’t mention this in adamstgBit‘s thread. That’s too much disruption for this thread.

I looked at your post history and my eyes are bleeding. I haven’t seen that many memes since this forum was full of Bronys. You have some pretty good posts, your very knowledgeable and definitely participating.

I just have one question for you. You have a little negative trust involving OgNasty. Can you explain that to me?

From what I understand, that’s exactly how the system is working. There are sources all over the forum giving out merit. Here’s how I’m working this thread. I’m vetting posts to see if they deserve merit. If I can find at least 4 posts that could reasonably receive 5 merit or 20+ that could reasonably receive 1 merit then I award 20 merit.

I agree, I think the merit system will work well. Thanks for your input.

I don't quite think my own posts qualify for your offer, though you're welcome to browse through obviously and encourage me to do the work if you consider me worthy.
Mostly I post in the infamous Wall Observer thread, and this community within a community is pretty short of merit, despite some excellent posts.
Newbies come to learn about trading, end up learning all sorts of other things, including bitcoin. Fud is rugby-tackled to the ground. Shitcoin shills are laughed off the park. All sorts of good stuff.
So will mention your thread over there, and may God have mercy on your soul.

This is a great idea for merit distribution. I would like to see something like this on a larger scale where users can apply to have previous posts vetted and merit assigned (maybe on an information at the time basis). I've definitely read a number of posts that i feel should have got merit, however I do not have the power to show my appreciation, then looked at other posts by the user and see they have contributed without reward (especially as some posts are before the merit regime). Maybe this is something to be addressed by the 'merit sources', perhaps each member could get an allocation of SMerit to be given every month.

I think your English is doing fine. 20 merit points awarded.

Thanks for the merit. And thanks also for the input. I guess those actual services and businesses built within the Bitcoin ecosystem are what makes some people to misunderstand and classify bitcoin as not been fully decentralized. I see.
We should be seeing more of your posts, on informations about bitcoin. Most people like me will be needing it to know more. Thanks again, though.

I am from India though currently in urban areas so it is a better place where you have electricity and everything but still in our areas where I belong which is rural area of the country do face the electricity cuts and as a result Internet goes off. Yes English is not my native language but I still keep on practicing it so that it improves and become more better.
