Merit is some kind of measurement of your account. All ways help to others by providing useful information.

I see many of merit get by the article those are like small researchers. If you could write few better article definitely you will get merit form senior member in this forum.

The above was found by googling "how to receive merit in bitcointalk.' As you see, this question has been asked numerous times before and can be easily found by 'DYOR,' or doing your own research. In the future, investigate whether your question has been posted, redundancy is never a good way to receive merit. Furthermore, merit is not in the control of the person who is posting. If one is constantly trying too hard in their search for merit, it will show in the vacuousness of the comment or post. A better way is to be genuine, thorough, maybe even a bit creative in your posts/replies and simply hope you'll be rewarded at some point. As charlie chaplin once said, 'you'll never find a rainbow if you're looking down.' By 'rainbow' he meant merit, and by 'down' he surely meant down in despair as you log into your btc talk account everyday and see your unchanged merit score.

Seconded

Plus, make the search button your best friend.

And ready through these threads with an open mind;

It is hard to get merit for me because I am not that good in constructing my English grammar but I am doing my very best.Merits are very important to rank up.Your post should be unique and on topic it should not be re stated the post of others.

Try to learn french ... Oups I think we don't have any merit source in the french section or do we ? Maybe it's not a good idea then ... In fact we little poor frenchies have to learn other langages to try to earn some smerits ... It's not easy for noone nowadays, smerits are very difficult to obtain. Good luck !

(I don't understand how people can't find all the threads and answers with searching the web ...)

1.- Look at the top at the screen. Localize the "search" button. Introduce "merits" in it and read all the topics answering the matter, for there are hundreds already.
2.- Do not open a thread with a long-answered topic.

- Explore the forum, read, read and read.

I personally wrote a lot of posts(like 200) before I started thinking about gaining merit in order to gain more from bounties.
I was mostly posting for bounty campaigns and because of interest in various topics, and didn't really think I'd ever get merit.
I thought I might as well try do something useful, since I enjoy the crypto-discussions anyway, so I wrote some guides and gained a bit of merit, which I understand might require some english skills.

However, to my surprise, I've also received about half my merit simply from actually just discussing things!
I thought merit mostly were given to people who wrote great threads and such, since it's a bit difficult to find a single post in a long thread, but apparently that's not the case.
I don't think you really need to be an expert in english, and post long detailed threads.
Instead, just discuss in topics, and make sure you contribute in some way. There's little reason to write the same response that 10 other people already has,
or to write one sentence saying something generic. Instead, make sure you interest yourself in crypto, then hang around in Serious Discussions, Bitcoin Discussions, if you're technically savvy, check the Technical Section.
I personally enjoy reading in Political section and chatting in Bitcoin Discussion, there are really great discussions going on, not everything is the "Altcoin Discussions" 500 pages-spam.
There are many other sections(categories), find one you can contribute to, on a topic that interests you, I only gave a few examples.

But, why would someone give you merit, if you only repeat what someone else has said?
So, try to simply find an interesting topic and discuss with people, not just "generic response", contribute with your opinion/your knowledge  :D

(although I'm a noob and only have 8 merit, so surely someone else has some suggestions :P)

Well, you have shared your thought alright but raising topics on merits does not earn you merits. It only reduces your chances of being merited because there have been countless of topics raised on this issue of merits. You could have read more before posting. The more you raise topics like this, the more you gets shares of ideas on this forum becomes irrelevant.

please before creating new post, read and research on forum 1st.
At least, see 1st page of "Beginners & Help", there are many topic about "How to get merit". Spend your time to read it is better than create your own post.
I know there are many supportive people around here but let newbie have motivation for their interest

The most precise answer on how to get merit is you just need to post constructive/informative post. Sharing your knowledge about cryptocurrency, Posting some kinds of tutorial and etc.

You can refer to this post by TMAN, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3376729.0

it is so important to get merit for level up to your account. First of all you have to improved your English language. Spend more and more time to wright a post. Wright it with correct spelling and grammar. Using words like Sir and Mr. Read more and more English books and newspaper. This will help you to get a very good knowledge about English. Search in online about cryptocurrency news daily. A quality post isn't necessary longer post. Just wright the main content in your post...... :)


I think you will benefit very much if you read this post very carefully.

This post writes by sir 'TMAN' : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3376729.msg35399024#msg35399024


Your ever sir :)

I am a newbie and i used to get merit but it is not that much easy to get merit...  can someone suggest me that how i can get merit...????

There are lots of existing topic on how to get merits you just need to use the search function of this forum, if you really want to get a higher rank try to give more effort on what you are doing here in forum and dont waste time on making non-sense threads you are almost a jr. member you must be already equiped if you just read all those sticky and other importants threads.

i also new here so your post help me much.

Okay, I believe i understand. I have read through the rules and loads of the posts here on this thread. Thanks to all for your input on the matter.

It is by quality post. Explain the real meaning of what you want to share, elaborate in basic way as much as possible.

Congrats.. You just got 2 merit for this post...

In order to gain merit, i advise to read those threads that gained so many merits. We can learn a lot from them and to have an idea on how to compose a good quality posts.

It's good that the job of moderators have become easier with the merit system, but it's now significantly harder to rank up in these forums...  :-[

Merit points are nothing but the value of appreciation for your contribution to the forum. In order to earn merits, you have to share your knowledge with others in a best possible way and then you can expect merits from others. It is not recommended to ask/buy/beg for merits because it doesn't make any sense to it as merit is a kind of respect and it is earned with good efforts, buying it would destroy the core idea of it.

It totally depends on you writing good quality posts, sharing useful informations you know will be unique and helpful to others. It's as simple as that.

I have seen a lot of threads about have to get merit, and how unfair it is for new members, who will never get 100 or more merit.
But I have found out that the best place to get merits are in the how to get merits threads. Somehow people give more likes in those threads.

How can you get Merit, if you think about them all the time? Just share useful information and do not spam! I have a lot to share!

I've been trying to help the others and be friendly with the community ever since I jointed this forum. I try my best to be regular here. And still I'm pretty sad that I still lack from some merits. And I'm not giving up the hope any time soon. I have my confidence that people judge me as a friendly person. And they will share some merits with me.

Hi.
If I can help someone,
No matter how simple answer,can I get  the merit?
Or is it must high technical answer?

If you are unable to earn merit then just buy a Copper membership, it will unlock some good features which members have.

The real problem seems to be an unwillingness to join the Bitcoin Talk community. A lot of people sign up to membership of the forum, and they seem to expect that if they post a lot of rubbish, or trite repetitions of tired old comments, they will be entitled to free handouts of trashcoins that probably aren't worth anything anyway.

Joining the community means that you should be able to take part in sensible discussions about a variety of crypto and Bitcoin related topics, and to bring interesting news items to the community. You can take part in the help threads if you have knowledge of the topic in question, or raise a problem that you may have. There are also some trading and statistical and economic threads that are beneficial to members. In fact there is a very broad mix of information and discussion threads here in the Bitcoin Talk forum. What is annoying, and will reduce the chance of posters being awarded with merit, are the no value spam posts. These reduce the value of a thread, and often result in the poster being ignored.  If you don't have anything sensible to say, then don't say anything, but read the topic, and try to understand the points. If you do this, it won't take long before you have enough knowledge to be able to make constructive posts.

i am also trying to update my rank and get merit but its not so easy it needs really a good work or hardwork its really not easy to update rank and get merit wee need to search and learn everything in the forums we have to post powerful posts..

May I ask a question: can I start a topic which it's already opened? Because I can't check all topics in our forum

I think first it should be the quality of the posts. If you post something valuable here and if someone sees the value of the post then you will be given merits. 

To rank jr member must require merits to rank up to rank next, to get it can be said difficult.
Because we must make a quality post, quality and must use the correct English, so seniors give merits to us

I have also been puzzled by this issue. Even if the topic I posted or the reply is very good, it will help everyone. However, other people also cherish his Mert. They don’t want to give me his Mert and I cannot get it, yet.

Not opening another thread would be a good start to earn some Merits.

I assure that you know the bitcointalk forum rules if not then read the forum rules. After reading the rules you can construct post and you can avoid violating some rules when you post in bitcointalk. Actually there is a GUIDE on how to earn merit.
Just visit this site and you can find useful comments there https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3182178.0.

Someone nailed it the other day (and I am paraphrasing): "Merit is like sex, the more you think about it, the less you will get." Keep that in mind.

the rules are now different from last year, this will make it difficult for newbie to go up the rankings because you need to improve the quality of your posts. Read the rules, help the community, create interesting and positive conversations, then you can expect people to give merit.

Sorry, you're just not quite "quality" enough. Maybe someday.

Is that how you got'em?  :P

For all newbies and Junior Members who joined the discussion,
In my point of view, it is no shame by admitting that you have tried earning merits to increase your payments via bounties, campaigns you join.
However, the fact is to earn merits, you should contribute to the forum first.
So, next question for you should be: "How to contribute to the forum?"

Yeah, there are several topics (for free, of course), which might help you to learn smart, clever approach to earn merits through your real contribution.
The most important thing is: Think of your contribution, your threads, your ideas (should be creative, constructive, and unique - if you can) first; never think of merits when you compose your threads.

My final recommendation is "It's time for the topic creator to lock the topic in order to avoid spammers and shitposters join it". Don't give them chance to spam the forum anymore.

Merits is a new system in the bitcointalk world. Merits is very influential on the rank jr members who will rise to rank members. Some things to note to get merits:
1. Post quality posting
2. Using good and proper English according to international language.
3. Post does not contain spam.

It is difficult because everyone's knowledge is increasing.

Being truthful to everyone is an example to let you earn merit. Good quality, constructive, creative, informative and being honest is all we need to earn merit. English is also important as it is the main language in most boards except the local boards.

Why do we want to rank up? What would be our goals after we rank up? We won't be able to earn merit if we won't contribute in bitcointalk forum.

I think you do not need to think about how to get the merits! Just talk on the forum and share useful information for your opinion. And one day you will go to your account and see!

merits are rewarded to those who post quality comments. members can get merits from other members if they find that your comment or post is helpful to others but, earning merits these days is not easy. once you get merit then you can transfer smerits to other as well

Merits are given to the members who has made contribution on the forum, helping others and sometimes doing high quality post is one way of getting merits.

It all depends upon the quality of your posts. Don't post spam. Post quality news about cryptocurrency. Do not annoy the members. Do not beg for merit. Be an active and helpful member of the forum. These are the ways for achieving merit.

More than 1.5 months on the forum and not 1 has not received merit(

Hi,

In fact it's not so easy because on one hand there are a lot of good threads and on the second hand if the people who reads agree with what you wrote but don't have smerits to give ... And in the local sections it can be more difficult too if there are no merits source and it seems for example that there are no source in the french section (it seems) ...
