We have all by now seen the theymos
New new rank requirements.Previously a lot of people were posting questions about the ranking system, so I decided to simplify it. Just put the highest-order 10 bits of each number into a grid in this configuration:

Then run Conway's Game of Life on the cells. If the cells never stop moving even after infinite steps, then you advance to the next rank.
And so I present:
o_e_l_e_os Ultimate guide to ranking up as fast as possible with minimum effort.The stats we will be using to rank up are
activity (same as before),
imagination (number of images posted),
virtue (see quote from theymos below), and
coins (how many different coins you have invested in).
This guide does not require any merit, smerit, fmerit, politeness OR karma, so you can continue to shitpost, spam and scam and still rank up!The seven virtues are chastity, temperence, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility. Any true Bitcoiner will fully exemplify all seven virtues, of course.
Week 1 (Newbie to Junior):Make a single post with a single picture and being kind to one person to earn exactly one activity, one imagination and one virtue. Invest in one coin only. Your grid will look like this:
Week 2 (Junior to Member):Repeat the above post. Buy another coin. Your grid will look like this:
Week 3 (Member to Full):Little more complex now. Make one more post, again displying one virtue, but this time with three pictures.
Week 4 (Full to Senior):One more post this week. This one needs five pictures and four virtue (I suggest being diligently and humbly patient and kind to a fellow user).
Week 5 (Senior to Hero):Make three posts with a combined total of one picture.
Week 6 (Hero to Legendary):One more post with one picture.
Week 7 (Legendary to a new rank theymos will have to create just for you):One post with nothing.
By this point you will be less than 2 months on Bitcointalk, have made 9 posts in total, and be a global moderator or better. You are welcome!
