Its time for yet another brief monthly overview of local boards activity, and a little bit earlier than last time as I plan to publish the yearly overview by the end of the month. All charts and table are made using data from @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboard and BitList.

Communities marked with * (Pakistan, Bangladesh) unfortunately still don't have their own local boards, but I still hope that's something that will change in the (near) future.

Post activity per local board during December 2025

During the last month, 13997 posts were written across the local boards, which is a slight increase compared to November's number (13826). Increase may seem small, but what's more important is that the negative trend of decreased activity was stopped.

Once again Nigerian board has been far ahead the others, with Russian board at the 2nd, while Turkish board came dangerously close to them and considering how things are developing, I wouldn't be surprised if they take over that 2nd spot. Regarding the left part of the chart, no changes or surprises there, except maybe French local that slowly and steady keeps going down.

Active members per local board during December 2025

During December, 1441 members wrote at least 1 post in one of the local boards, which is almost as same as the month before (1445 during November).

Nigerian is at the top, but not as dominant as with the number of posts, Russian board at the 2nd spot while Indonesian at 3rd is far behind them.

Local board members per amount of posts during December 2025

When it comes to the members who wrote only 1 post, Romanian is the leader with 57%, while at the same bracket Pilipinas had only 15% of such members.

In the 2-9 posts bracket leader is French local board with 55%, while at the same time Portuguese loca had only 20% of those members.

And regarding the 10+ posts bracket, leader is Turkish local board with 57% of such members, while French and Polish local boards didn't have a single member whoe wrote 10+ posts.

---

Merit shared per local board during December 2025

During the above mentioned period, 7657 merit was shared across local boards, which is a slight increase compared to November's 7414 merit. Imho, I think that this is generally a good number considering the overall number of posts written on local boards.

Nigerian board remained at the top, which makes sense considering their number of posts, followed far behind by Russian and Turkish local boards. Its also worth mentioning Greek local board as well, sicne I don't remember the last time they had such a high number of merit sent.

---

Merit/Post ratio per local board during December 2025

During December, the average merit per post ratio across local boards that are part of this overview was 0.55, which is a small increase compared to November's 0.54.

Romanian board is back at the top with 1.88 merit per post, followed by Spanish, Greek, Italian and Croatian board that all had over 1 merit per post ratio, which is something we didn't see for quite some time. Regarding the last month's top board (German), they dropped hard, from 1.66 in Novermber to 0.59 in December, which is not so usual for such a big board.

---

Merit senders and receivers per local board during December 2025

During December, 527 members sent while 628 members received merit which is similar to previous month numbers (536/610). As expected, Nigerian is far ahead the other boards with a huge amount of merit senders and receivers, even considering their number of merit sent.

---

Merit per transaction across local boards during December 2025

Last but not the least, chart that shows meriting habits of local boards. This time Greek local board is at the top with 7+ merit sent per tx, which is only possible to happen on the smaller boards that don't have big number of merit transactions.

I acknowledge the mention.

Already updated the December statistics in our local board Pilipinas.

Although Morocco has got some good chances but the resistance from both sides is very impressive, you can see how well they're defending and very careful not to cause a big errors that would lead to their opponent scoring, anyways Morocco is doing all they can to remain in the tournament, im impressed with their performance.

 However, this is not the best of the Super Eagles, I really want to see that confidence I saw against Algeria in the second half, I know the Morrocans are putting much pressure on them and they can't control the game very well, but they need to work on their confidence in the second half and calm the pressure, maybe if they can get more closer to Morocco’s box often they could be lucky find the net since they have better attackers.

لازالت موجودة، لكن لحسن الحظ ليست منتشرة كتيرا كما في السابق، اعتقد نظرا لسهولة كشفها من طرف مضادات الفيروسات.

virustotal ممتاز جدا لفحص الملفات، لكن لا يعتمد عليه بصراحة في كشف البرمجيات الخبيثة الجديدة، كما انه لا يصلح لفحص الملفات كبيرة الحجم. وان لم اكن مخطئا، فان بعض مبرمجي تلك البرامج يقومون بتضخيم الملف عن قصد لتفادي الكشف. وكما قلت، لا يمكن توقع مصدر البلاء ابدا، لذا فمن الامن عدم التقة باي ملف ما لم تكن متاكدا بدرجة عالية من مصدره ونسبة امانه، حتى لو كانت نتيجة virustotal انه امن.

اوافقك الراي تماما، عمل فورمات للقرص هو افضل واامن حل دائما في حال اصابة جهازك باي برمجية خبيثة.

It's not using VPN at first place like account registration but after that. Like you can use VPN with IP addresses to your nation, but the difference is you want to hide your real IP address. It's not to bypass any restriction from any website as at the first place, you are able to register your account with real IP address already.

However in practice, is it matter to protect your privacy?
Privacy is valuable and if I can use VPN for it, and if the casino allows VPN, why I don't use it?

صراحة لا ارى ان استخدام هذه الادوات التي تقدم محتوى روبوتي قد بجلب لذلك العضو اي فائدة او تطور، حتى ولو كان في البداية يحصل على نقاط جدارة وقد يصل الى تقييم ايجابي لكن في الاخير ييتم كشف امره في خطا بسيط حين يتغير اسلوب تعليقاته لانه في الحقيقة لن يقوم بالتحقق من كل موضوع او رد في المنتدى وقد يختلق قصص تعارض افكاره السابقة والتي هي في الاساس مولدة عن طريق ادوات ذكاء اصطناعي.

لقد راينا في قسمنا العربي العديد من الاجانب دخلو في هذا النوع من النشر لكن قليلا ما يناقشون افكار معينة بل فقط نشر معلومات في الاساس موجودة من قبل. وكل هذا الامر يعكس المعنى الحقيقي او فكرة المنتدى للنقاش وليس النسخ واللصق لغرض جني اموال التوقيعات.

اتفق مع الاخ NotATether في ضرورة تطوير زر او مكان مختلف عن التبليغ يكون فيه التصويت اذا ما كان البوست تم انشائه عن طريق اداة غير مرغوب فيها هنا وهذا سيساعدنا في التخلص من الاعضاء الذين يخالفون قواعد المنتدى بشكل افضل.

That’s fair, we all have our own choices when it comes to exchanges. I’m just sharing what I think most people are actually using. Personally, I’m a Binance user. I’ve tried other platforms before, but around 90% of my transactions still go through Binance.

And honestly, even though it’s blocked and not licensed in our country, a lot of people here are still using it.
That alone shows how popular and dominant they are, rules or not.

I guess that's what you thought and it didn't happen 

I am the official representative for Lucky vibe. If you share us your query, We are ready to assist with pleasure. We had added the affiliate link to monitor the impact after the listing in bitcointalk community. To my surprise we don’t get any single registrations from the unrestricted counties after the listing. So it does mean we don’t get any exposure after the signature and review campaign in this bitcointalk community.

Roysee and Julerz had approached for the promotional campaign. We had a plan to do promotions in this forum, but not even single registration after the listing confused us now.

There is possibly automatically tool that triggers action against accounts with VPN use and IP addresses from restricted nations, but if that user is actually not from restricted nation, it's possible to prove it later.

It's clearly troublesome for the user even it is possible to appeal successfully, so a better practice on user side is never turn on VPN with nation in the restricted list of Luckyvibe. Let's be more careful with practice on any casino if you use VPN, you must know that there are restricted nations. Let's say it more simple, if your nation is not in the restricted list, you can use VPN with geolocation is your nation, and don't have to worry about this issue. If you choose another nation, let's be sure that it is not a restricted nation.

Obviously, they would be cautious, but this is an extreme step taken to avoid the unknown. Anyway, such a decision is just for the safety of their organisation, and nothing much. Yes, the list is long, and I saw some nations that I know do not have restrictions on gambling, and that made me curious as well, but I have no option but to mind my business as it does not concern me and besides I am not a team member of the casino but rather, as a member of this platform, I will only make my own contribution and see how they go about it thats all.

OP updated in the Spanish thread too, and the explanation about last month's problems with the backup system and how they were solved also shared with my local colleagues here.

I'll write a PM to the translators outside the AoBT so they are also aware of the last data that should be updated.

The restriction list is too obvious to say, I can see some nations on the list that I am very aware are gambling-friendly nations, and this makes me wonder if they really did a review on this long list they have come up with, or if they are just afraid of the unknown.

I also saw on their terms and conditions, age verification for Bitcoin, and I was also wondering if they have a separate kyc for Bitcoin depositors and players because I see no difference between the real kyc and this bitcoin kyc or can OP brief us on this for a better understanding and the reasons why they came up with this procedure for bitcoin players as captured on their terms and conditoins.

Thank you guys for the kind reminders. I have as well updated the Bangla translation from my end.

Btw there is a small typo I believe. The ticker for my language should be "বাংলা (Bangla)". Thank you.

Cheers

Thanks once more for the heads-up, joker_josue

I just updated the Romanian translation. And, as usual, I also mentioned your update inside AOBT, for more visibility.

(Also, as a side note, you should replace roksana.hee with DYING_S0UL )

Heads-up gang

joker_josue just posted an update with the statistics for December and he asked us to update our translations again. So this should be in the attention of DS, Peanutswar, cygan, mindrust, dansus021, Porf, zasad@, Kavelj22, JunaidAzizi, Chilwell, M47AK16 and ovcijisir (the Croatian translation is already updated).

Also, the ones which did not do the earlier updates, please apply them as well...

Porf, will you notify the non-AOBTers, as usual...?

The translation is great! Feel free to post it after making the few small changes I sent you by PM.Thanks, Baseplate

You are tripping again.

Fact check:


Even if we put aside the title "president", you are simply lying about the "arrest", it is a kidnapping.

Your talk of legality is nonsense, nothing more. By the way, I didn't say he was "legal." On the contrary, I wrote that he was a dictator and all that, but he is the president. Saudi Arabia doesn't even have elections, yet for some reason the US has been protecting this regime for decades. And the Saudis are also covered in blood (just look at how they dismembered Jamal Khashoggi), but everyone is happy with everything, it's all "legal" 


So you are keep tripping without any intention to touch reality. Ok.


Whether triple or quadruple. Venezuelans fight among themselves, that's their business, as you write - it's been that way for hundreds of years. This doesn't allow the US to kidnap the president in violation of all international laws.


The biggest and most important thing you don't understand is that dictators arise because of idiots like you. When people don't care about the law and start supporting criminals because it benefits them for some reason. Laws and rules aside, the only thing that matters is what benefits me/pleases me - that's how dictators and other criminals think.
