Maybe it's the size of my local tab; I don't know what the others are like. But frankly, this kind of pattern is easier to spot in a local tab than in global tabs. If this type of behavior exists in some local tabs, it is almost certainly detected by the main and biggest users of those tabs.

One of two things. Either all the experienced users of these tabs are participating in this conspiracy. Or all the merit sources in these tabs don't know what they're doing and are completely clueless about how the forum works and what merits are for.

In turn, the problem ends up being in the local tabs and not in global topics like WO.

Furthermore, if campaign managers allow low-quality users into their campaigns, they are seriously undermining their work! It's not enough to say that they only accept posts with more than x characters, they should blast those who frequently make short posts.

In the end, what I see is not a problem with the merits, but rather with the benefits that some users with low-quality posts have in campaigns here on the forum. Perhaps what we should be discussing is how managers analyze their user choices and retain those users in campaigns.

I understand what you're saying, and I realize that it might even work to a certain extent, but I have some reservations about whether it's really a big problem or just one or another more publicized case.

Or maybe I'm just being very naive and don't understand the scope of this whole "macabre" scheme.

A user has three alt accounts in addition to their main one. They collect merits from their main account, which they then redistribute among their alts. (At this point, if someone is caught doing this, they can be reported, I think it wasn't the first time it happened.) But, he doesn't get caught and continues.

If the main account earns 30 merits, it distributes 10 merits to the 3 alts.
Each alt will have 5 merits to give. If everyone gives to the main, he will have 7 merits to give.
It returns 2 merits for each alt account.
These alts return to giving 1 merit to the main, and have 1 or 2 more merits to give.
In the end, each high received about 12 or 13 merits throughout this process.
He has to do this scheme about 10 times for an alt to reach Full Member. Added to that, each alt has to have an activity of about 200.

Honestly, I find it hard to believe that with just this scheme (have 1 or more alts) the account will level up.

I still remember the effort involved in leveling up and earning merits, and I find it hard to believe it's that simple. Yes, I probably also earned some merits with little effort, for posting in a few threads. But I also know it was never a significant amount, maybe 10, 20, a little more. That doesn't get you very far.

I see it as somewhat difficult for someone to farm merits using only these resources. Maybe they're being naive... but I think it's difficult.

Bem, eu não fui ver o caso em específico, nem investigar a fundo a informação sobre o tema.

Mas, dos casos que tenho visto com mais detalhe, chegou sempre a uma conclusão simples: o indivíduo realmente tinha algo que não era positivo e que em condições normais, com análise bem feita pelas autoridades ele nunca entrava, nem hoje, nem há dois anos atrás.

Não estou com isto a dizer que apoio ou não essa medida, a ser exatamente assim. Agora também é muito comum inflamar a situação na net, só por ser o país que é e a situação que estão atualmente.

Não concordo, e a história prova isso.

O FTX tinha KYC/AML e era considerada uma das melhores exchanges do mercado, e como sabemos, fecharam deixando milhares de clientes com prejuízo.

Por tanto, não é o facto de uma plataforma usar KYC ou AML que garante maior segurança.

Por acaso desconhecia que era possível, em alguns casos, importar/exportar as etiquetas que criamos nas wallet.

A Ledger não suporta, mas se a pessoa usar o Electrum já consegue fazer isso. Interessante.

Obrigado pela partilha do artigo.

This is a point that I still haven't been able to understand, how is the system manipulated?

- Is someone taking money to give merit? As far as I know, this is prohibited. Anyone who knows this is happening should report it.
- Does anyone always give merits to the same people? I don't see this as system manipulation, but rather as normal. If someone identifies more with a particular user's opinion, it's normal for that user to receive more merits.
- Are more merits given in local tabs than in other tabs? I doubt this is some kind of manipulation. If someone spends more time in a certain section of the forum, it's normal for them to give more merits there.

Let me give you an example. Note that 60% of my posts are in the local tab. It's normal for more than half of my merits to be used there. Of course there are posts outside the local tab, which I would easily give merits to, but unfortunately I haven't gotten to them yet - maybe unfortunately I won't even get there. In turn, in the last 3 months, I received more merits outside my local tab than inside it.

OK, it might be true that in some cases, some people receive merits for simply saying "Hi." But honestly, is this considered a merit scheme? We can't forget that leveling up isn't just about merits; it requires activity. Don't tell me that just because someone receives a few dozen merits on posts that we all agree are of poor quality, they're going to move up a level.

In turn, the problem isn't the merit system, nor is it who receives merits; at the very least, it's who gives them. But this system is free for everyone to use as they wish. Do you want to lose that freedom just because of the bad behavior of a few? This is what I see more and more in everyday life, and then people complain that they are losing their privacy and freedom of choice.

The problem is that they're focused on the Europa League playoffs. Like it or not, until that point is sealed, it's difficult to switch teams from one competition to the next.

Not to devalue AVS, which has been a tougher team to beat than expected lately. However, Braga had every chance of winning and could have done a little better.

Melhora no aspeto de percepção geral. Infelizmente, o verdadeiro conteúdo depravado continua a circular... 





Eu não disse que era uma indireta para a UE!? 



Olhem só a lista de regras e regrinhas:


E veem mais regras, como falei aqui: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5553005.msg65709367#msg65709367

After another weekend of championship matches, we saw that the big three teams won, with only Braga drawing their game. Here's the results list.

MATCH DAY 3 - RESULTS:
Moreirense 2-0 Vitória SC
CD Nacional 1-4 Sporting CP
Arouca 3-3 Rio Ave
SL Benfica 3-0 Tondela
Famalicão 0-0 Gil Vicente
Porto 4-0 Casa Pia
Braga 2-2 AVS
Amadora 2-2 Alverca

Acho que neste caso é mesmo para a Intel não virar chinesa...

É que a China estava a começar a ter um peso muito forte dentro da empresa. Se o governo quer valorizar as empresas nacionais, teve de por mão e investir para que a Intel continue a ser US.

Not really. To achieve this kind of scale, the cycle of new users would need to be non-constant, there would be no alt accounts, and some of the good posters would need to stay.

Like any system, it is infallible against abuse. Unfortunately, abuses do occur. But for me, the problem isn't who receives, but who gives. In turn, if someone is free to give merits to whomever they want, even if I don't agree with those choices, that's their right.




This is also very subjective. Someone can write a very good post and receive a lot of merits, and then write 30 weak posts and receive zero merits.



Anyway, I see this conversation as being more about creating rules for assigning merits than anything else. It seems people have forgotten that there's always been a lot of freedom on the forum, and they want to impose similar rules—unfairly—to those that exist offline.

Para mim este é o ponto.
Essas leis são criam situações, para pessoas que fazem tudo certinho, sejam a ter de fazer coisas no mercado paralelo.

Continua achar que eles perdem mais com essas leis do que antes de existirem.

Isso faz lembrar aquela história do IPTV que agora está muito badalada na Europa. Dizem que perdem milhões por as pessoas usarem IPTV em vez de subscrever os serviços. Eles estão a presumir que todas essas pessoas vão subscrever os serviços se não houver IPTV.

Claro que não vão. Sem IPTV vão continuar a não ter esses milhões. Aliás até vão perder, porque vai haver menos pessoas a ver e a publicidade deixa de render tanto.

Porque o IPTV é mau porque perdem dinheiro... Mas será bom para dizer quantas pessoas vêem o canal...

Enfim...

Out of curiosity, do you use a third-party tool to do this analysis? Or do you have your own tool?

Exactly.
Just as you when you receive fiat you are not thinking about where the money comes from, whether something illicit or not, the same is said of bitcoin.

But they don't understand this, or rather, they don't want to understand.

We, in turn, have to try to understand what they think, assess the situation and act accordingly.

As I said, in the research I've been doing, in order to get an idea of this, now it's time to try to put it into practice (soon).

Não sei se fui só eu. Todos ajudamos. Até porque sem posts ou topicos não consigo fazer muito mais.

Mesmo assim acho que posso melhorar. Dar um pouco mais de cada vez. Mas, mais posts de qualidade vão ajudar. 

Eu acho que esse é um recado para a UE... Acredita, que muitas desses regulamentos que existem nas empresas tecnológicas tem origem na UE, que depois outros imitam.

Por exemplo, de onde surgiu o maravilhoso Regulamento da Proteção de Dados? Da UE.
Uma das ideias era eu receber menos spam no email, e recebo ainda mais agora. 

It's always like this, people always look at the sales side, without noticing that on the safe side there is much, much more.

The market needs to start getting more accustomed to selling; it's too attached to holding. People have to liquidate their earnings in order to live and enjoy them. Everyone has this right.

Bem o primeiro ponto, até posso entender. A pessoa fica tão envolvida no trabalho, principalmente que gosta, que acaba nem repara o tempo passar.
Agora o segundo ponto, acho que é um pouco ao contrario. Quando a grana é curta, parece que nunca é final do mês... As vezes os meses parecem muito longos.

Acho que muitas das vezes, não passa de uma rotina bem completa, mesmo que incluía o laser. A pessoa esta numa rotina tão regular, que quando pensa, já passou x tempo. As vezes é bom quebrar essa rotina. Mas nem sempre é fácil, principalmente se a pessoa já tem vários projetos em mãos, e se gosta do que faz.

Ele esta de ferias...

A malta esta a regressar das ferias e tem menos capital para investimentos. Agora, tem que esperar um pouco para a coisa animar novamente.
