I gave 8 merits to nullius. (reference) He specifically requested that post, which was why I gave it merit.

Thanks, DarkStar_. That post was my Newbie-ranked debut in the Development & Technical Discussion forum, made three days after I started actively posting. It defends Segwit, and tears into one of the major ulterior motives of the swindlers who lead the Btrash idiots. That post has a special place in my heart.

Its quite a different thing writing a post KNOWING that people will be looking at and judging the contents then just typing at will. (yes I actually had to think about my posts).

I myself find that I do best when I dont think like that. It can result in what is commonly called trying too hard, a sure mark of a junior hack in the world of professional writing.

That being said, I was always conscious that my posts had (I hoped!) a readership who would be looking and judging. That is why, if you check my post history, you will find that my post quality and style are unchanged since introduction of the merit system. I still talk tech the same way as before, post long diatribes the same way as before, insult idiots the same way as before, etc. The only difference is that my forum presence and subject matter have expanded and evolved, which I think is natural for a new user.

I can't image where nullius gets the time to generate that output with that quality level, averaging more posts in 1 day than I did in a week.

I sometimes do 2436 hour posting marathons, for the principal purpose of concealing my time zone. Otherwise, I jet-lag around my sleep schedule. When user stats were enabled in December, I managed to keep a fairly smooth top across the bar chart of posts by hours per day. Such is the nature of life in the.nym.zone!

Most clients and exchanges have some intense dislike for native segwit addresses. You'll probably need to use either I think either Electrum, Core or a hardware wallet to send it.

Indeed. Bech32 is awesome; and native Segwit is beneficial to both your fee savings, and the network as a whole. But you are brave to now use the address format of the future, when so many obsolete products and services are still stuck in the past. I tried that. Gave up for now. Though I have seen some advanced users seemingly use Bech32 addresses as a mark of eliteness amongst themselves. Anyway, I am hoping that 2018 will be the year of Bech32 adoption. Heres hoping that by the beginning of 2019, we will all be using Bech32!
