Make a lot of quality posts and you'll get a representative amount of merit. Not exactly rocket science. As for him being an alt account. Maybe. Or maybe he's just a great poster.
If you compare what words he uses to other users around here to the words that are used by other members around here, and on reddit on r/bitcoin you will eventually figure out who he is. (note: you will have to analyze more than just vocabulary, but also words used before and after words, and analyze this on a large scale).
QS always implies that he knows more than he's posting, but never quite gets around to filling in the blanks that he draws all of our attention to.
If you think Nullius is an alt account, just come right out and say who you think it is.
My attention span is severely impaired, and I will confess that I've mainly skimmed Nullius's posts, but from what I've read I have to say the dude knows how to write. He certainly deserves the merits he's earned
Exactly, though the amount of research that QS is claiming he has done on him likely in the hopes he can somehow make a connection to someone he doesn't like shows you how insane he is.
I guess there is no real newbie can write such high qualitied, constructive posts like nullius. Especially, high-qualitied posts in-a-row like this guy. Newbie can sometimes write such a good post, not always.
His account is hardly new. He registered in March 2017, though I guess he only started being active fairly recently.
