Cobalt9317, you and Tuareg are clearly only here to make money by any means necessary. I can’t help you. Have you ever thought about visiting Indeed.com or Monster.com? Both of those sites have an international section and can help you find jobs anywhere in the world.
You have one of the better post histories I’ve read recently. You are actively engaged in conversations, helpful, knowledgeable and support bitcoin. My opinion is that you should keep doing what you’re currently doing. 20 merit awarded.
Uh Oh, did you tap the "back" button.
20 became 40.
Good thing you have lots to go around, and that you like their posts.Thanks again for doing this you did help me start on my way, and I carried forth and got my "Senior Member" status.
Yeah, I blew it. LOL
Random bonus!

Hello QuestionAuthority,
I would appreciate if you could look through my post history. I would like to hear an objective opinion on the posts I write.

It took me some time to rank up from Member. Merit was introduced one week before I was supposed to be a Full Member and actually, I am glad that it happened.

Very good thread OP.
I still have mixed feelings about the merit system. I almost used up all my Smerit and sometimes I see very worthy posts which I would like to reward with merit but then end up only giving 1 or 2 points for the above mentioned scarcity.
I think the drawback is also a tendency towards circlejerking/centralization.
One thing I would suggest to consider implementing is a demerit system where unworthy merited posts (e.g. circlejerking, merit sales, loopholes, etc) can be downmerited by users sending their sdemerit points.
Just my 2 sats.
EDIT
One good example of a thread where utterly useless and silly posts get merited in a shitfest of favours is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.0;topicseen
90% of the posts are completely off topic or shitposts.

A demerit system has its own problems. That would create gangs of like minded people that would crush individual thought.
Not too much if the demerit can only remove merit given in a specific post.
I.E. if a post hasn't been merited, it can't be demerited.

I already attempted this but I was deemed an altcoin supporter. Don't see the harm in supporting bitcoin and alts which serve a good purpose like privacy.
Whatever, props to the OP anyways for his efforts.

You can try your luck in other giveaways. Op has mentioned the terms of this giveaway very clear in the thread.
There are some members who will appreciate your contributions in alt coin section as well. Or may be you can come up with some comparison between bitcoin and leading alt coins and apply again if still interested. Good luck.
And OP, I really liked your comment where you mentioned "I do not consider Bitcoin cash as Bitcoin". Only if the investors being fooled had same consideration.
Good day. Can you tell me is any special topics for getting merit or if I write posts in topic "off-topic", this is the same with other topics?
Thanks.
Thanks.
This is one such topic and then the OP has linked 2 more threads. But I don't think you have much of a chance to get merits if you don't even read the first post of a topic before you post.
You will be working for 20 merit points. Good luck to all. I will announce when they’re gone and lock the thread.
Wow this is half a year old thread! But hey, if it's not locked yet then I guess I'm not too late, right?
I'd like to take you up on your very generous offer @QuestionAuthority.
I'm following the trend about a year now, but I created an account here after the merit system was implemented, therefore I worked my way from 0 merits to 29. The next step looks very distant and lately I feel like people have stoped being generous with their merits, maybe the users started to dry up?
So as you requested, here are some of my latest posts BUT it's not all about BTC, I'm supporting BTC and 4 altcoins, I hope I'm not out of the criteria.
A bit indirect, but the last sentence of the post kinda proves my plans to save up on BTC (and altcoins) in order to use them for purchases in the future, but I repeat it's indirect so moving on...

Ok, this topic really looks creepy, anyway giving merits to potentially good users are a very kind on this forum highest people really need this support. Have seen that you have given the pretty large amount of merits to a lot of users. I will request you to kindly slow down your limits on each user so you can at least help the system so each user can just get encouraged and not get greedy over it. I mean we all want users to learn something and share it with all the other users but you can not just give 50 points to a single post. I mean it does attract everyone and I think you should give a highest like 5 merits to each user. I am not ordering I am just advising. no offense.
That’s easy to say when you don’t need the merit. Steamtyme is right, if you read the OP and some of the thread you’ll know what I’m doing.
*snip*
There is nothing wrong with the way OP is distributing merit.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.34192230
This is a few pages back but it explains the stance regarding how many merits will be handed out via this thread.

I respect the opinion of the creator of this topic and I believe that such people are needed by the forum, as they are trying to combat the trend of bitcoin, which is now on the way to centralization and turns into a speculative toy of traders. But I think that ignoring alternative coins is a mistake, because there are projects that offer much more in technological terms than bitcoin.
I already attempted this but I was deemed an altcoin supporter. Don't see the harm in supporting bitcoin and alts which serve a good purpose like privacy.
