One of the tests I use for ICOs is to see who posted it and what they did to get their member status. For instance, it looks like you joined in August and decided to start with useless responses on the Blocklancer ICO. It's nice to be able to see their history if you want to vet their responses.
That is a pretty good test actually..I'll start doing that too..
In my defense, I got to know about bitcointalk.org thanks to clicking on the blocklancer ICO link somewhere. They wanted you to post on BCT some code to tell them that you are in..Invested my first few ETH in that.
Have that to thank them for getting me onto bitcointalk if nothing else really..
1. Really depends on the topic. For certain subjects, you can express a similar or identical opinion, but add in terms of arguments, examples, evidence, different way of looking at things, etc. In general, the forum relies on the principle of "freedom of constructive speech".
Examples and Evidence sounds useful. That way one can get to explore more about a topic that looks interesting but has been debated to death..Thank you!
