I've been mucking around with this on and off for a couple of months - trying to get a list of unmerited and undermerited users who might deserve some merits - and I think all I got is a lot of material for the
wall of shame thread
Here is my step-by-step progress of an attempt to narrow the list:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/work-in-progress-please-dont-delete-5185946At the top of each post there is an explanation what I was doing. Eventually I got to this list of 525 "candidates":
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/work-in-progress-please-dont-delete-5185946.msg52498875#msg52498875On of the biggest problems is that at this point the "Posts" column still links to their entire post histories and there is no easy way to review just the posts that passed my filters so it's not even clear if those filters are worth anything. Spot checking a few users was not encouraging. Generic meaningless tripe and broken English to the point of being incomprehensible seem to be the most common issues.
#1 on the list (user has 2 earned merits):
I don't remember how much I losses in gambling because if I did that, it would make me sad, and I will try to recover the losses. That will be difficult for me because I don't have good luck in the gambling games. And if I try it with so hard, I will only get more losses, and I realize that will makes I broke. I am trying to playing gambling, but I don't use so much money because of the big risk in gambling, and I try to accept the risk.
#65 on the list (user has 0 earned merits, seems to be a shitcoin ladder-bumper):
Hope the dev will always update information about their process, but to list the exchanger is not easy
Exchangers will certainly see whether the project of the coin can compete in their exchanger or not
#149 on the list (user has 1 earned merit):
With more new applications that were getting developed it is possible to make cryptocurrency and bitcoin user friendly to all levels of people. With beginners too it isn't that difficult, because if they make a transaction once they'll get to know good about it. Further on using bitcoin for few times they'll more comfortable using it further.
#305 on the list (user has 2 earned merits):
You got a point there but in my view its too late for the government of the united state of America to gain control over the cryptocurrency industry. They have been hash on the community, hash on their citizens for using cryptocurrency, they don't want to use decentralized exchanges around her territory, these sum up among others will not give them the enably environment to control the industry.
There have been speculations that they are likely to be the inventors of cryptocurrency, but until then, if they aren't the ones then they cannot control the cryptocurrency.
#494 on the list (user has 0 earned merits):
If you are good at mining, you can do it. Mining hasn't permission for all country. Research won't lose your any time and money. New coin is coming for future market, you should research on new coin. My prefer is trading with top altcoins.
Could there be some gold in that pile of poo? I'm not too hopeful. I'll keep tweaking my search when I have some time but so far I think I'm better off just opening a few threads and reading them... even on some really shitty boards like Altcoin Discussion I can usually find a post or two that are not entirely horrible and send them a few encouragement merits.
