Post activity per local board during April 2026

During April, 13283 posts were written across 18 local boards that are part of this overview, which is a slight decrease compared to March (13524). Nigerian remained the most active board, followed by Russian and Turkish and all the other far behind,  while the bottom few remained the same like in the previous months.

Active members per local board during April 2026

During the last month, 1276 members wrote at least 1 post in one of the local boards, which is an expected decrease compared to March, during which 1305 members were active. Once again Nigerian remained the most active one, but this by not so big difference compared to Russian, while all other local boards are far behind.

Local board members per amount of posts during April 2026

When it comes to the percentage of members who wrote only 1 post in their board during October, leader is Polish board that had 57% of such members, while Pakistan had only 11%, lowest among all local boards.

At the 2-9 posts bracket leader is once again Romanian board with 71%, while Croatian local board had only 16% of such members.

Regarding the 10+ posts bracket, leader is Turkish board with 48%, while at the bottom is Polish that had no members who wrote 10+ posts during last month.

Merit shared per local board during April 2026

Last month, 7462 merit was shared across local boards, which is an increase compared to March (7089 merit). This increase is shared among the few boards, while the most merited one (Nigerian) had a small decrease compared to the March.

More observant members might notice that French local board is missing from this chart, and that's because they didn't send a single merit in their local board during April. I don't know what's going on there, but its definitely not good.

---

Merit/Post ratio per local board during April 2026

The average merit per post ratio across local boards during April was 0.56, which is am increase compared to March (0.52 merit per post) and was epxcted due drop in the amount of posts written and increase of merit shared.

Spanish board is back at the top, followed closely by Romanian while Italian and Croatian close the group of those with more than 1 merit per post. At the same time, Greek board is down at only 0.05 merit per post, but its good to see that Pilipinas numbers are slowly improving.

Merit senders and receivers per local board during April 2026

In April, 530 members sent while 601 received merit in one of the local boards, and is an increase compared to month before (517 senders, 602 receivers).

---

Percentage of merited posts across local boards during April 2026

Once again Romanian board is at the top, and once again with 60% of merited posts, but Italian is also not that far away with 49% which is even more impressive considering how much more active they are than Romanian board.

And for the end of this series of charts, the one that shows meriting habit of local boards.

It makes sense to say Blackrock has liquidity since they are exchange trusted fund, they have liquidity in abundance and not just for Bitcoin, they have for other assets but they can only absorb what they have, if suddenly they have a request for sell of Bitcoin ETF, they might have to look for another exchange to dump their Bitcoin reserve so they can settle ETF buyers, so when you hear the news outflow to coinbase and Kraken from Blackrock is to sell and withdraw usd to settle customers.

Blackrock comparison with strategy doesn't make any sense, it's like trying to compare Binance and strategy because they both buy and sell Bitcoin but the goal of the companies are different. One is buying to keep which is what they have been doing for years while the other is buying for may reasons but what they do mostly is they sell at the discretion of the customers, there is nothing else.

You can spend time navigating the system and make too many mistakes that will get your account banned. You still have to read through the rules. As you stated that it is not enough just to read and remember all the rules. But it is very important. It will definitely save you from many troubles in the future. As too much mistakes will  be treated as spam or something else by the moderators.

Thank you, Kavelj22, and the welcome means a lot - I appreciate it.

On the ANN: you're right, and it's coming. I held off intentionally because I wanted the foundation properly in place first - this WIP thread was meant as a critique stage before going public. The migration to Base (more on that below) is the gating step, and once that's complete, the ANN thread will go up in both bitcointalk and altcoinstalk with the full launch package - tokenomics finalized, contracts deployed, designer-made graphics, the whole standard format. The timeline is a few weeks. The discussion you're seeing here has already been incredibly useful for sharpening the proposal, but I agree the ANN is where it should live in the long term.


Already decided and announced earlier in this thread - migrating to Base. The Gnosis decision came from a specific technical preference (sponsored gas for withdrawals), but sergiorus and others made a strong case earlier that the operational reality breaks that benefit anyway - users still need native gas after withdrawal, so the chain choice should follow liquidity and user familiarity instead. Base wins on that ground. Migration is in progress: 1:1 airdrop to Base for existing holders; Gnosis contract stays live as a historical record; new emission goes to Base going forward. Considered Solana, but the rewrite cost is too high for the stage we're at, and the culture there is different from our intended audience.


You're raising the exact right concern, and I'll give you the concrete status rather than a vague "it's coming." Google Play release is essentially ready - we're a week or so out from going live there. The App Store is the slower track, at around 3-4 weeks, given Apple's review cycle and the additional submission work involved. Until then, the install does go outside the stores, which I agree is a friction point for mainstream chess players who reasonably expect store-verified distribution. Not ignoring it, just sequencing - and the gap is closing fast. Thanks for putting it on the public priority list; it's the kind of pressure that's actually useful.

Thanks again for the feedback - this kind of structured critique is exactly what the thread needed before going to ANN. Appreciated.

Daniel

Yea I sent him a thread to post tomorrow. Will stop this thread from getting cluttered.

We say this phrase when we lose and we say it also when we win big. this is our emotional wards 

However, they may have chosen this domain so that players can easily remember it. A short name. The domain is really memorable. I visited their platform and it seemed normal enough, but they could have used a better UI. Because the UI they have put in is very common but it is fine in new condition. UI plays a big role in attracting players to a gambling platform and so does the domain.

I tried to register here but the registration was not working. Maybe the platform is still under maintenance and it will take more time to be fully ready. Hope the op will clear everything.

Just used your imagination and you will know what that means? 

As others have said, it's a catchy name and now that everyone is talking it, they should match the hype with their branding. But so far, it's on the beta phase if I'm not mistaken. But it's good that they have heard our suggestion so it's time for them to change their ANN thread and to make it as attracted as the competition here amongst casinos starts from their presentation.

Hello Kavelj22,
Thank you for your comment. Hearing that my players deposited $400,000 into this platform makes me feel physically sick now that I know what kind of company BC.Game really is.

When I started working with them, I saw their multi-million dollar deals, like the Leicester City sponsorship, and genuinely believed they were a legitimate, world-class business that treated both players and partners fairly. It turns out this massive corporate facade was just a clever trap designed to deceive everyone - including affiliates like myself.

I did not create this thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5583659.msg66758085#msg66758085 out of naivety. I created it to expose the fact that if a casino can casually exit-scam a verified partner out of $21,131.40 while boasting Premier League sponsorships, then NO ONE’s money is safe there - neither affiliates' nor players'.

As I mentioned before, I have already cut them off completely and removed all links. Thank you for your honest perspective, it only proves that pushing this thread to the top is necessary to warn others.

عفوا أخي لكن نحن من لايفهم عدم استهجانك للسياسيات الحكومية وفرض القيود الصارمة على كريبتو وعلى المعاملات المالية بشكل عام!!! هل أنت معنا أم الحكومة أخي😍😂😊

أخي لسنا الوحيدين الذين يستهجنون السياسات الحكومية المتبعة لفرض رقابة على الافراد و الاموال بل جميع مجتمع كريبتو، إذا كنا نريد البقاء تحت السيطرة المطلقة للحكومة كنا بقينا نستخدم نظام الببنوك المركزي والنظام المالي القديم ولم يكن هناك أي داعي لوجود البيتكوين أو كريبتو من أساسه.
معظم الناس تبحث عن الخدمات التي توفر لها قدر معقول من الخصوصية وطالما أن الحكومات بشكل عام وليس حكومة الولايات المتحدة تحديد تفرض على الشركات معايير تنظيمية صارمة فمصير أغلب هذه الشركات الإفلاس ولن يزدهر هذا القطاع.

Seems like you're misunderstanding the concept. I don't need to gain trust as I won't be involved in swaps between people. At the end of the day someone else can run it too as it's not about myself. The Telegram group in the post that you linked is about providing escrow services, airdrops and bounties but there are no people looking for swap partners.

It's supposed to be a free platform run by this community without escrow and in case of complaints they can be posted here to sort out.

For real, aside from advertisements on different platforms, advertising here on the forum really does have an impact. Look at Stake, they paused/stopped their campaign before, then came back, and now it’s one of the longest running campaigns. But in my opinion, the current code/design of 1win looks too plain. It’s not that appealing compared to others, at least for me. The one they used before looked better. Just my opinion.

If I’m not mistaken, their headquarters are located in Cyprus, and they are registered and licensed in Curacao.

If the OP trusts a stranger, especially new accounts or accounts marked with negative trust here, it is also a high-risk situation for him. Since I provide the Bptrades escrow service, I do not care about the value of the transaction between the two parties. My service is still free of charge, it was created to make transactions here easier, no matter the amount.

However, for such a small amount, the simplest option is to use a reputable exchange like Binance. For example, LTC withdrawal fees are usually around 0.0001 LTC, which is roughly $0.0054 depending on the current price.
