Bitcoin Forum

I have heard that is is very hard for people to rank up in here. How true is this?

I am not the best story teller but i am a very lovely person so i hope i meek multitude with a lot of kindness to offer

It's a bit difficult but not impossible. You need to create quality contents in order to receive merits (A point the you received from members).


I suggest read the whole post not on the quoted post above.


Additionally, I would like to add this (below) too for you.

Welcome to the forum. Wish to see you around.

Hahaha look on the black market I think you can search for Merit!!! Hahaha
 Seriously , don't focus on merit earning... focus on your learning...

Thanks to you fellow forumite for the links, I just got a vivid and clear description of this forum and it's benefits. I joined since December but couldn't find my way around the platform.

Shitposters will never rank up with merit system and new rank requirements, believe me. Those sort of shitty users will only rank up if they abuse the system through merit exchanges, merit business, etc. Abusing like this will put their accounts under high risk of punishments (such as red tags, bans, etc.).

For your interest, you should improve yourself first to become a constructive user in the forum.
You should also follow 'famous' users, who ranked up after the launch of  merit system and learn from them (iasenko, zentdex, hugeblack, nullius, alias, slient26, etc.).

Best regards,

merit is not easy merit is hard everyone do not try to buy/business merit if you buy merit & anyone proved this so you will Red trust/banned this community, so do not try to reach rank for one day you need to learn about this forum reply helpful post/create helpfully topic(I mean help others always) so you get some merit.

And you try to just communicate on the forum. This forum for this purpose is created so that people can find useful information for themselves! And you only think how to get the merits! Then you will not get them.

hi, PumaPuma_ you are the right way, but get merit very difficult If he helpful post randomly so something easy.
Read this thread:

It is not much hard if you have patience and good writing skills, you would definitely rank up.
Your aim should only be to make quality and constructive posts and merits would come your way. Help the forum community and don't just focus to rank up your account.

You share useful information you get merits, but you should have to remember that information is a tool to make money.

Well as of right now its very hard, but doable, you basically need to make good quality posts that are helpful to people. And yes while its difficult even then, the thing is this system sort of became necessary during the November December run as you ended up having massive number of people making spam posts to increase their ranks for bounties.

thank you for all these resources. I really appreciate the time taken to help me out selflessly. If i had the sMerit i would have merited you 100 so you can jump to the next level and keep helping othersmore. you are a  Very selfless person

Even now that would still happen because you also need a certain number of posts to rank up the next level

Thank you sir. I believe its doable looking at your merits you have. I will believe in it that one day i will make it.

Nothing good comes easy and all my life i have been a fighter. I will really really work hard

Thank you for this useful and wonderful reply. I have rather a silly question to ask. i hope you will understand.

How do i follow the people you mentioned? I may sound ignorant but it is not the intention. I have not seen any follow button. Or do you mean seach them on the platform and keep following what they post?

Thank you alo for your time and sorry for many newbie questions. Your time is very valuable and i appreciate the answer you are going to give in advance

That's it!
You should search those users and get links to their profiles.
Next step, you should create your list (might use excell, or something else) to save those ones to your list.
Next time, when you want to visit to their profile page and get their last posts, just copy and paste their profile links into your web brower.

In addition, you should also avoid using pyramid quotes (or over-quoting in other words).
Here is my topic, which you can read to get helpful tips.
Tips for newbies, who want to avoid over-quoting (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3749076)

Truth be told, it does sounded difficult especially for lower rank members which is essential for them to rank up and frustrating to see Hero or Legendary members who are not too bothered about ranking up get flooded with merits with their posts but just like someone have rightly said, its not impossible. I have seen a member ranked individual already with enough merit to get full member and it keeps increasing.

An advice to you and everyone is to understand what they are doing differently and put some serious thoughts into posts and before you know it it will start coming with people noticing you and if you are convinced you are putting your best, apply to merit giving threads and you are sure to be reviewed.

Can I give you a few tips. I didn't read all of your posts because of the structure and repetition.

Don't include full quotes, unless it is really necessary. It builds up your post, and the thread. You don't need to quote if you are close to the original post, a simple reference will do.

You don't need to use 'sir' on an informal board like this.

Replying to each post in an individual post bulks up the thread, and makes it look as if you are spamming for activity.

I believe that now to receive merits to raise the rank from Full member to Sr. Member you need to be some good bounty manager or a famous person with nice posts on this forum

Ive seen lots of quality content without any merit and some shitty comments with 1-2 merits, so its impossible to reach more than a member legally

be active this forum and try to make good quality post.

It is pretty hard to rank up because of the merits point system, once you get to the point where you have to reach a certain number of merits to rank up it starts to get more complicated. You will really need to try and post something valuable in order to get these merits. Because, not everyone gives away merits easily matter of fact they barely give them away ::)

it is very difficult on this forum these days because of the greed that exist among some members over here. These days you will hear that why should I give someone a merit when I can give it to an altcoin he/she is managing. Nevertheless, there are some good and warm hearted senior members who still give merits based on quality of posts

I strongly agree with that. as a newbie if we keep on focusing to get those merits and creating quality posts and keep on asking on how do we get one without even having the knowledge about everything is just a waste of time. i think we should focus more on learning and understanding things in here and the merit will just follow, because if we are knowledgeable enough we can construct things in an easy way. we should focus more on studying perhaps.

It's true, rank requirements right now is different than before due to MERIT SYSTEM implemented by the admin himself.
Ranking up will be difficult but you will still rank up by completing the rank requirements if you work hard for it. Just go to META BOARD and read the stickies there about Merit and rank requirements or visit this
Merit & new rank requirements (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0)

   I do not think Merit is hard to get , as long as you have knowledge, constructive, and valuable post to contribute  of this forum, it is possible to get Merit easily ,and to rank your position up.

I am replying to your comment so i can come back and see how easy it is for you in a few months time. I have seen a lot of people who make very educative posts but are still at zero.
There has been rumours that some people are hoarding the merits so that others do not rank up and take higher positions for the bounty campaigns. How true this is i do not know but i can tell you a lot of people with hundreds of good posts are still struggling to rank up

I'm just thinking also how to get this merit,  but I realize that maybe this is for those  who have a quality post and to those who have a high rank only, because mostly I saw some member that has a merit is high rank.

Very very hard, almost impossible. I got just 5 in 5 months, like 1 per month on average. Getting another 135 to rank up would take me 11+ years  ;D

Then some smartass can rank up his/her friend or alt in 1 week just because theymos gave away tons of merits to senior+ members naively hoping they will do some good to the forum and help merit sources. Now we have literally thousands of merit sellers/exchangers.

But the merit system will stay nevertheless and the only way to rank up is to write useful articles yourself (don't even think of copying it from somewhere else, you'll be banned straight away if caught).

I don't think that it is difficult to earn merit points because if you are sharing your knowledge with others then other members would definitely give you merits if they find it valuable. However, this feature is still new as compared to the age of forum and thus it will take some more time to inculcate the habit of giving and receiving merit to improve the overall quality of the content. The best way for us is to share our knowledge in a best possible way and others will definitely appreciate it today, tomorrow or even after a year in the form of giving the merit points.

Never felt hard to me, maybe because I never thought about it. What's so special about merit, anyway? Just keep improving yourself and eventually someone will notice you, I do noticed that merits are normally given for the first commentaries or people that starts topics! So here is a hint, make your topic original or very helpful, anything is fine, we are here to share our knowledge after all.

 I am also a newbie here and it is hard in my part to gain merit that easily. I am still on processing to progress more information and gain more quality and valuable post to conquer that called merit. Thus, it is just my opinion on how to get merit easily.

A little bit hard to gain merits but if you have the point and everyone or someone likes your comment or any thread you post you will get merits on it.

Just enjoy and read more information and comment that is suitable to the topic or thread so that you will gain any merits.

 It is truly hard to rank up in this forum…But it is for its quality, before you reach up high, you will need to step one by one to some like ladderized position, you need to reach or require some requirements like how many posts you need, how many merits you need and you need to post a valuable one which of course to help others in this forum and inform new knowledge to others. As other said no easy money here, you need to sweat before you harvest your fruitful work.
Goodluck. :)
