I have some Merits left to give out as well. I am looking for people in the Indian board (active posters) who have less than 10 merits. I am looking for quality posters who are yet to achieve the Member rank.

That could be me. I have 8 I think. Although  I am not active on this forum, let alone the Indian section. I'd love to rank up my account and contribute here more often.

And I'd appreciate if you could highlight this topic here. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/should-signature-campaigns-be-moved-to-their-own-sub-boards-2062192

I just signed and I see the issue still exists.

And when the Amitabha / Coinsecure scandal happened, it essentially took out Benson from this community - literally the only person that gave a flying fuck about this subboard's health.
I don't know about Benson other than he was a moderator for India.Did he was a part of scam project? Or link me what issue you are talking about.

We can bring the right traffic again if there is a moderator here.

He was not only the mod but a leader.

Coinsecure was not a scam project, Amitabha, one of the guys hired from this forum stole some altcoins and thought he could get away with it. It's a whole history lesson there.

I had interacted with Amitabha way back in the beginning, but my repeated attempts of getting back in touch have not been successful since. So I don't have his side of the story. He's a phd guy so I didn't think he's the type to steal.

Benson was removed from mod status because Theymos thought there was a conflict of interest though rightly he, and no one else here actually accused him of anything. We all saw how hard he worked to create Coinsecure from scratch.

Once my other thread is completed, you will see that the Indian media has never promoted Bitcoins and cryptos in a positive light.

It has always been linked to chitfunds, scams, ghotala and then there are people like Kabit9 that makes this a toxic cesspool to be a part of.

6 years given to this community from my life and what do I get in return?

A threat that my sick mother's name and number would be distributed to escort sites.

A comparison with my dead dog about who's the bigger bitch?

Judging me on how I look.

All for what? because I wouldn't allow his shitpost on my self mod under construction thread?

And you think people will come here for what?

Even my dead dog was a better 'human being' than this asshole and frankly, this forum is full of it now.

People like you and me can only sit by and idly watch. Or at least we choose to do so.

It's a lost cause here. Unless there's significant interest and traffic from India for Bitcoins, this subsection will never be relevant again.

Just had a quick look, most of those quoted threads are no longer functioning. They aren't even up to date with merit system (since September 2018, jr membership requires 1 merit, not 0).
You are right that the merit giveaway threads have mostly gone cold. I quoted it from an old post of mine. Seems like merit distribution is no longer much of an issue, especially for good Indian posters.
Yet, if we ever have an influx of deserving people who aren't getting them, this post can serve as a source of merit for them.

Thanks to those of you chipping in for giving out merits. Lets wait.


Better to add criteria in OP to apply for merits!

1. Useful posts related to bitcoin and blockchain.
2. Meaningful discussion regarding prospects/ intiatives of blockchain in India.
3. It'd be preferable not to have a post history comprising solely of Alt-bounties etc.
4. Posts that are more than 1 to 3-sentence conversation fillers.
5. कोई हिंदी या हमारी किसी दूसरी भाषा वाले पोस्ट जो दूर कहीं छिप गए हों।

Hello New people/ Slightly Old people

This is an old topic i started which i am now editing to reformulate as a welcome for new people as no such topic is on traction in our sub at present. I and other older members like Heisenberg, eality etc. keep looking for newbies to join the club of crypto users. The knowledge available at this forum is immense and you need to take the right path as soon as possible to avoid the pitfalls of sham bounties, Scam forks and stay true to the idea of decentralization and openness.

If you are a new Indian account, just drop in and say hello.
  • Say something about how you stumbled upon bitcoin and the forum.
  • What are your expectations and what are you here for.
  • There is no shame in accepting that you are here for the earning opportunities. We'd just like you to not become a shitposter...lol..
  • We would like to help you wisen up for the right opportunities.
  • In true cypherpunk fashion, we would like you to keep details of your real name, location etc private.
  • Always look at people's trust rating before dealing with them in real monetary terms here at the forum




Below you can find the content the topic was originally about. Suffice to say, it'll serve the merit function too and we have quite a few merit sources available now to make your time and effort in the India-sub worth your while.

There have been certain questions regarding merit sources and merit distribution in India forum. We presently don't have a moderator and people are also concerned about not receiving enough merits.

Various topics had been started at other subs and Meta during the early days of merit. Most good Indian posters get enough merits to attain Member rank. If you think you are a genuine newbie and finding it hard to level up, then quote yourself in the reply and provide a link to two of your best posts on the forum.
I'll try to help with merits when i can and I am sure other members will too.

Here are a few links copied from an old post of mine where you can look for further merits. I am not sure if those are still functioning.




Apart from this, The Indian forum isn't yet going anywhere because it has been left to its own by our early adopters who couldn't care less. Here are my thoughts on that. Well, Support or No-support from Early adopters, I believe that we can do better than this as a community. The best of the lot is still to give some attention to their own sub.

PS: My grave thoughts on the state of Indian sub have changed due to revival of effort from a lot of  good people, old and new..You can follow those here:

New pinned discussion on Indian sub by Heisenberg
Raffle for our Sub which I want to read "Free lottery to earn Satoshis"
Translated work from Nullius, Hindi comments encouraged
