How to earn merit? I dont understand how to make a merit here in bitcointalk,can someone help me or idea to have a merit in bitcointalk, i hope  can anyone help me for my concern, thanks

It's simple but need time. Writing constructive, creative, high-quality posts, then you will get merits sooner or later. The most important things is be helpful in the forum to help others solve their problems, or at least give them hints, links for more details, etc. Furthermore, merits will be given for high quality posts, but it's also a game of probability. Therefore, you should not pay too much attention on merits, just keep being helpful, you will get merits in the future for sure. Don't worry about merit points.

Merit isn't a earning things.You need to post high quality content so that you can get merit form forum members.If you solve others problem by giving tips,They can give you merit. Don't think more about merit,over thinking can harm for you. Just Help others,Research more,Finds others problem and solve the problem by giving opinion.

Merit is now a new option on Bitcointalk.org. It has created a new concept for the member of this forum. Now you need activity as well as merit too. Without merit you can't rank up. Merit is just like the button of 'like' on Facebook. If your post is high- quality, creative, informative, others will give you merit. I think I have been able to help you by this post. Thank you.

this explanation is very clear and easy to understand for me.. thanks..

Earning merit is just given by people who have Smerits or for short, the high rank people. They tend to give you merit if your post is fruitful to them. Just a piece of advise, high ranking people or most people here in bitcointalk don’t want redundant questions. I suggest this kind of general questions should be searched and not posted to threads. You already have 40+ activities, by now if you’re reading and learning about bitcointalk, you should already have knowledge. Unless this is not your account or this is just another “post anything to rank” posts. Be careful man.

Hi guys! newbie here.
So on top of earning activities, we also need merits?
So if we don't have enough merits, or did not earn at all, what is the maximum rank is there for us?

This topic is an eye opener for brand new members such as myself.
Better post meaningful information or we will never have any merit guys.
BUt nonetheless, this forum is a good way of sharing information.
thanks guys

thank you for the idea guys..its very helpful to me...i will keep searching a good topic to share here in bitcointalk..

I do believe and truly convince that experience is the best teacher.

So, let me share my experience when I got merit in a very simple but meaningful ways.

Let merit struck your mind and be able to reminded.
Let your post be good and don't ask for merit.
Let yourself be reminded that you participate in discussion and not in business alone.
Let your post be helpful and can contribute in a good flow of discussion.
Be reminded, do own readings and apply the learnings.
Lastly, know the DOE'S and DON'T being in this forum.

Learned from mistakes.

That's all what I could say with my experience.

Just write insanely helpful posts.

I also don't have merits, but I try to post interesting, helpful posts and I'm confident, I'll get merits.

Here is a infographic of the current system of rank up in Bitcointalk posted to Meta section, which should be helpful for new people:

Hi there, read this thread here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0

As I think about this question... You can earn merit by doing these following things..

1  Don't think about earn merit just do your job..
2  Do research before posting anything on the forum.
3  if you have good knowledge of the forum subject then your post quality is also good.
4  for making good quality posts you have to read and research on the blockchain technology, btc, Bitcointalk forum etc..
5  after doing all this things just give your best for the forum.. Always be helpful for others. Follow the rules and regulations of the forum..

If you doing that way then other members give you merit for your post too...
In one statement I can say..
The more you doing efforts for your post quality the more you get merit...

Be Patient... Stay active in this forum and make some good quality post.

Think about the reason you are here. offer help and get help when you needed. you will be recognized sooner or later. good luck

Merit is too hard to get specially if your not contributing on the forum or making high quality post. Just do your job on the campaign that you participated,  thinking of how to get merits will only give you headache.

Here he is right, and one more thing you have more merit is the more rank and accordingly you are charging more bounties for the company, that's all the arithmetic, for example he would have put me credit for a cognitive post, but for me it's not new)

hi im newbie....talking of merits now i know we need to be createfull for our post or constructing a very sourcefull idea as a newbie we need to do research to become a sourcefull....tnx a lot

You can get merit by making good and useful posts and gift it to other when you think they made a good post. Afraid of buying merit from other people. Selling sMerit prohibited and punishable, most often the painting your trust rank in RED. I think purchase also not approved, but how it will be punished isnt yet known. SMerit transfer from one of your account to another (it's multiaccounting) is also punishable. What be in the future for trying to get benefit from your sMerit -- UNKNOWN.

Your merit and sMerit counter  HERE (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit)

Actually merits are designed to improve the quality of the forum, and not for the improvement of earnings from promoting sponsors that you don't use.

Thankyou for this thread. It really helps a lot.

Instead of thinking you are posting for merit just think you are posting constructively. I know it's going to be hard for many lower ranked people and newbies to attain higher ranks now but if yous persevere people will give merit where it is due.
Just remember to spend your smerit too and spread the merit where you think is deserved too.

This reminds me of the advice people give about falling in love. They say if you are looking for it you will never find it, but if you stop looking for it you will find it.  Just continue to be helpful and create quality posts and someday merits will find you and when you finally get those merits send them to other quality posters  :D

High quality post to get merit and become a member in bitcointalk!

I think you should refer to this post.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0)

The problem is how to start a significant reply or thread since almost all the subjects had already discussed?

you can earn merit by posting constuctively and relevant to the topics. other members of this forum may notice you if your post is really helpful, useful and knowledgable to the topic. so i advice you to do some research first before posting. do not focus to the merit itself but focus to the knowledge you are sharing with other members.

Thanks dude, great advice for all of us, most like me. More power! God speed!

Right now it's hard to get merit points. But try your best. Stay active and be patient :)

Thanks for the advice, yea you right i will make a helpful post, ill try to research more interesting topic that can help.

For your interest, please read the thread

To earn merits, you actually have to embrace the community and learn from it. Become part of the community. Ask the right questions and read up on multiple posts. Take note of the ranks of authors and look at how they post and take note of the content they write. Here you have to put in work. This is not going to be as easy as a creating a popular Myspace page or garnering likes on Facebook or Twitter. So get ready to work and spend some quality time here and be active. Then can you watch your merits increase, increase, increase! :-*

The information about merit you can find it at : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0

If you want to earn merit your post in this forum must be constructive or meaning and users who has own their merit points has the right to give you their points via profile section.

I also think about this merit thing when I started with Bitcointalk hahaha
but i guess you can get it from helpful replies to someone's problem here in btctalk

I know that for us to get merit from forum members, our post should be informative, high/good quality, creative and also giving links for more information may be helpful, our post should not be out of topic. It's really hard to earn merit if you are just copying your post. So don't copy paste your post.

thanks for the idea and the link you give sir..i will read this for more information about gaining a merit..thanks much.

when you write  constructive, creative, high-quality posts you will get merits sooner. If your post is high- quality, creative, informative, others will give you merit.if you want more details read this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0

The awards introduced a very interesting. they should improve the quality of the forum.
They can improve the quality of messages.
but also they hamper the development of the beginners forum to participate in the companies(.
Constructive no accurate data about obtaining them.They were automatically credited to the higher members.

We can only earn merit if our posts our high quality post. It's so hard to earn merit if we don't have any idea about bitcoin and related topics. That is why I will start to gain more knowledge first to have merits.

You can only earn merit if you make constructive and helpful post in this forum, but still it depends on the member if they will give you merit even if you know that you made constructive post.

Is that mean the probability to receive merits from good posts largely depend on readers? If they are readily to give their sMerits away, good posters will earn merits, and vice versa. It also depends upon capability of readers to make their judgements about quality of posts.

I have a doubt that not all higher-ranked members in the forum have ability to judge quality of posts mainly because part of them ranked up to current positions with old system (part of them actually are shit-posters).

I believe merit system will keep those ones in their current ranks forever. The forum has been fairer after the activation of merit system.
Thanks Theymos for doing this.

To earn a merit in Bitcointalk you have to do posts with high quality of substance or if your post is very useful, people can give you merit. For give merit you must have merit too.

High-quality posts that are informative as well as on topic.  You should not be creating posts in order to get merit but merit should come naturally as you begin to write more on topic, relevant, substantial posts.  You may write a post that you consider to be great and informative and not receive any merit for it right away. In time though as you write more posts that are of high-caliber you may see your old posts receive some merit as you have become a reputable poster and people will go back and read your other comments.  Organically growing your merit is the best way to do things on the forum, it won't happen overnight and that was the original purpose of the merit program, to stop the spam low-quality posts and encourage longer, well thought out responses to help the community and forum.

earning merit is a little bit hard, you shouldn't creating post or replying threads, merits it will come naturally by replying or posting hi quality post or reply on threads.  dont rush to ern merit's. study everything first about cryptoworld and everything will follows.

with a Constructive and Informative posts you can earn merits plus we will need lot of knowledge about Crypto currency  likes news and updates , stocks , investments , advantages and Disadvantages , faucets , Minings , tradings , and lot of more topics . you need to be relevant in the topics you posts and you must know what you saying And Giving an Idea is a plus ! Hope i get merit too. :)

Only a quality post  can earn merit. A post is considered quality post when it is useful, beneficial, helpful and can solve others problem. Quality post depends on the writer,s
Knowledge and understanding of this forum.

Hopefully the merits will eventually come my way, but I notice merits are not commonly given in this forum. I'll try to be more constructive and see where it goes.

I agree with you.
And its true this is a game of probability. I have one merit that was given to me long without me noticing. this was way before i learnt that merits are given by other people who read or like your posts. Back then i was not posting anything other than just bounty submissions.

Today with posts i am struggling to accumulate the 10 needed to become a member but i believe a day will come and i will get the reward.

this is honest and blunt truth.
it does not only depend on someone making a constructive post but also if the members reading it are willing to award their sMerits.
Some people are just not lucky and others are very lucky.

Myself i am not very lucky

Merit can be earned only when your post is constructive and meaningful. It's just inform of likes on facebook and twitter apart from merit there's still what we call activities all this are what will make your bitcointslk account grow. Don't allow this to discourage you work for it and you will attain any heights in this community. You all are welcome.

To make merits you have to be meritorious student or bitcoiner

Yes the merit will depends on the user who read your post. Because merit will work only if that user will give you merit on the port or reply or quote you made.

I think I've understand about merit, I understand why it was created and its purpose, but I just don't think the higher rank members are embracing it.  I've seen a lot of good posts from people with no merits whatsoever, and I've seen higher rank members with shitty 2-3 words posts.

post quality topic and unique posts in the forum and actively reply and take part in each posts to boost your merits

It is very easy to be rewarded even without capital. For example sharing knowledge about bitcoin to the beginner. So bitcoin quickly understood and understood.
Society also knows about bitcoin

Earning merits is not an easy thing especially on this forum, it requires caution in whatever posts you make, making constructive posts that may be informative,or of help is the only way of earning merits, this might not be as easy, but its possible with thorough research

After searching, I conclude that if you want to get merit, be patient, constructive and active!

Its take a day or month to get a merit for me because we need to post quality but as I said we are new in this forum or cryptp how we can easly post quality and helpful to other when ourselve dont know enough knowledge. So wait until the day wr learn and by that time we are the one who help to newbies here

No interests in joining and knowing about btcs after I lost a great amount of money on btcs

Getting merits is essential for the newbies or they will not get promoted for next bounties. They have to work hard

you could try to look out for very hot and good news. probably the easiest way since most of the work is already done

Getting merits is essential for the newbies or they will not get promoted for next bounties. They have to work hard

thank you for the tips and advice guys.. its very helpful to me..

Merit is a form of appreciation given by forum members to your post, if you post or comment on a topic then you will likely get sMerit, usually forum members see the quality and benefits of your posts and comments to give them merit.

Consider merits like a Facebook like system where you put your content and the other guy will hit the like button if he wants to appreciate your content. However, there is a limit on number of outgoing merits so everyone will use it whenever they will find it worth spending their merits. The best way to earn merit is to share your knowledge with the community members and if someone finds your content valuable than they will give you merit points as a gesture of appreciation.

in my life to help the poor, they have the opportunity to work to make them living there is real work to be ethical.

Earning merit is so very hard to get you must create a very high quality constructive and informative post in each forum you need to work hard to gain merit and to rank up

Just dont be spamm such posting to common. Create topic or commebts that is really helpful not posting only for you activity counts. You need put some effort on it and by the time comes users here will give merit to you as your as symbol your a good poster

Just stay tuned to forum and you might take off forum bounties that are meant for newbies only ;)

Its all game of give & take ! Post some serious stuff which public wants to know about Btc, trading , mining, online marketing etc. The more your stuff is good the more merits you have ..

Without merit you can't rank up. If your post is high- quality, creative, informative, others will give you merit.

You need to posts a useful comments like spreading useful information, posting a helpful tips to the other users which will help them in the cryto world.

I think merit is just how you can make hight quality post. But it is not easy. You might spend much time to get it. So, just keep active, avoid spamming and keep learning on how to make most hight quality post. Someday you will get it for sure.

We can earn it when you work hard,helping others,create a post that can help everyone i think thats how we can gain merits.

Thank you for the explanation dude! And now i have new learning on how to have merit. Well said :)

Activity is based on how many posts. Merit is based on the value users find in the posts.

This has been answered by many members at different places but let me compile all here:

1) Make a constructive post.

2) Post an image or inforgraphic related to the forum.

3) Report members breaking forum rules like abusing merit system, posting copy paste content.

4) Compile stats related to a forum feature

5) Make a tutorial for the members

6) Apply in merit giveaway threads (do this after making some good posts).

Good luck.

Haven't received any merits yet. But my friends told me, merits are just like gifts that you'll receive after good work/post. Im excited to receive one soon.

I was still confused about how to get merit, but after I read all the posts and comments here I now have started to understand a little about how to get merit.

sorry with my english language which is still messy

Every day people are making millions from the emerging crypto economy. You could be one of them, and the clues and discussions are here on the serious boards in the Bitcoin Talk forum. You aren't going to make it if you spend your time chasing merits, and hanging around in the Alt coin and bounty scam threads. Put those behind you, and learn how to make a decent income from your efforts. It looks as if many of the ICOs and bounties are missing payments, so all your efforts will have gone to waste if that happens.

To get a merit from someone you need to write an article or a very high-quality and useful comment. And then maybe someone will share with you.

It is very hard to earn a merit specially like us newbies here. Don't mind about having a merit, just read here in this forum and try to learn cryptocurrency. Merit will not make you rich, it is your knowledge on how to deal with cryptocurrency is the one that will give you fortune. :)

Thank you for sharing, great advice and tips it will help a lot guys. I'll try to be more constructive and informative.

How to earn merit? I dont understand the merit system...can someone to help me how to earn merit?can you give some idea?thank you in advance

write useful information, help other beginners with advice. To same it is necessary to search for useful and valuable information for higher ranks.

Does merit helps newbie to rank up? If so, at least how many merits do we need?

Sir Merit is too hard to get specially if your not contributing on the forum. You need to Writing constructive,high-quality posts then you will get merits sooner or later. The most important things is be Patient Stay active in this forum and make some good quality posts.

Merit system is a quality control system by reducing spam posts. If you get rank up, then you need actives as well as merits. You can get activity according your post amount. but getting merits is not that much easy. You have to create quality post according to get merits. Then Automatically forum quality increase.

Most people on bitcointalk forum find it very difficult in knowing the reality behind getting of merits on the forum. I think it is a major issue that needs to be addressed and I would like to share the little knowledge I have about this merit.
To start with, we all make numerous posts and for every post you make to be catchy for readers on this forum, it should be constructive, of high quality and creative. If it happens like that, getting merits will be very simple for you. Can you also share yours here?

Knowing the forum rules before posting helpful information, good content, high quality post that is good for contributing to bitcointalk forum is the first objective.

While i'm checking this thread I saw two threads that is based on how to earn merit or how to get merit in one page and one of the two threads I saw was this thread. I suggest that you guys set an agreement on which one of you lock the thread and post it to one of the thread that is not locked so that the spam posts will decrease. Just my opinion.

Its easy to earn merits by making very good posts in the forum.

Write Guides or good posts permit you to earn merits

Write  something  that  you  may  want  to learn too..

Others  give  you  merit  because  they  find  your  content  useful for  the  community

Fuck me - there is a gem in this thread full of shit posts. That has got to be worth a merit.

I have seen some many people that they are meritting to their old friends.
Even you can't post pics to the forum. Because of this I can't create good articles to to the forum to get some merit

If you start posting pictures, you'll go straight onto ignore. We're big boys here, we can read writing and don't need kindergarten pictures.

It is very difficult because there is very little you can say, that could be new in this forum, particularly when you are fresh here. Of course this system of merits is more favourable to old users than to newbies and that is not very good.

Thanks everyone for the good feedback.

Merit is a new addition to this forum. It is used to meaning to your personality. It is not difficult to achieve. You can get the Merit only after completing a good quality post in the forum.

help other people - if you see a problem and know the solution - share it and maybe someone will return the favor

I think merit can be obtained from posts, topics, comments, etc.
Merit is given to other members because they think your writing is helpful / very useful.
More details see here;
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0

Have the same feeling. Kind of postmodern reality. To earn merit you either should be a professional just burning with desire to share your knowledge with people, who may later become your competitors, or make earning merits your profession trying to find post some new date concerning crypto-community prior to others.
Should I be interested in this ongoing race?
