It's really disappointing and that's why you guys plz help me how to get minimum 1 merit quickly from this forum to be inspired.

So guys plz help me how to get merit in right way because without knowing deeply I can't get it though I give full afford.

Thanks in Advance.

First of all, begging to earn merits is not a good way to start your journey here.

Just treat Bitcointalk how you treat other forums (assuming you didn't get banned from them). Be helpful, contribute meaningful topics and Merits will come in naturally.

Thanks a lot for your kind Information .And I just not begging for Merit at all.I am just want to know the way to get merit quickly.And I want tips like posting in a unique section etc.

True. Very important.

to get merits quickly you only have to post in these threads.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5232907.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.0

but as today is april 1st you should accept tips carefully and rather deal with the topic again tomorrow :)

If you don't mind me asking, why earn Merit quickly?

xavier has posted some useful links, but rushing to gain them isn't the right way because members here can smell desperation.

You can gain merits in populated sections like Meta and Beginners, but everyone else are also hunting for Merits, just like you. There are like (subtly) different guides posted often and competition is strong but at the same time, they have good exposure.

I can give an example of Merit-worthy topic; the forum stats (e.g. how many users ranked up since the month of February). You'd need some proficient knowledge on a data analytics software but results are also interesting.

I really want to thank you for your kind helpness.Because in this topic Only you realized my need till now.I am really searching like this kind of replies.

Thanks again.And will be more helpful if you can send me more ways like those.

Before you dream of earning 1 merit, you need to improve your attitude and mentality. If other people can earn merit, it means you also can do it. Don't shut your potential down with a sense of pessimism. Be confident and think big!!

I suggest never set your target for merits but how you can improve your capability (post quality, knowledge, understanding, etc) & contribution to the forum (report spams, help others, follow discussions, etc). Remember that people will give you merits once your posts deserve for it. Good luck!!

I don't find you doing that even in this post. Where are you from, basically? Maybe you should try posting in your local board and then you may earn Merits for your posts if they are worthy, because you clearly are not a constructive English poster.

OP registered about 1.5 years ago and only has 15 posts--that might be part of the problem.  On the other hand, I bet he's got more accounts than just this one.

Also:
If you write English like the above, it isn't likely members are going to shower you with merit.  You might have more luck on one of the local boards.  In any case, earning merit isn't rocket science--you just have to write posts that are interesting or funny or otherwise catch the attention of members with merit to give.  And you've obviously been a member of bitcointalk for a while, so this is something you ought to know already.

As I've suggested in the past, try taking a look at the post history of members who've earned a lot of merits, see how they're doing it.  Part of it depends on which sections you're posting in, but mostly it's post quality (note: not post length).

Merit is not your main goal here in the forum. It's about learning and sharing your knowledge with others. You said you are working hard to earn merit, I won't question your hard work but, it's not enough. You are still starting here in the forum, don't expect you will easily get merit. Other users take years to get a higher rank.

To answer your question, you can earn merit by giving quality posts here. Make use of your knowledge and skills, then share it with us. Try looking at some posts here with a lot of merits, then try to understand what makes that post-worthy of merits. And to correct your thinking, you can't get merits right away. It takes time and effort. Like what I always say, giving merit depends on each of us. If I think your post is good enough, then I can give you one. There are no certain criteria for receiving merits, but it has to be useful and informative.

First of all, Merits should not be your main purpose to post here, because most often that results in spam. Just try to contribute to the community in a good way, have proper (and most often crypto-related) discussions. You are not new on this forum according to your registration date, but you're barely active here (15 total posts), so why would you care about merits anyway? Just be here, look around, read forum rules, suggestions and all that, but never ask for it.

To achieve this diamond first of all you need to know, What is merit and what is the requirement of a merit?

Good luck.

Yes you are absolutely right and I am learning as well as contributing to gain merits.And you helped me much.Thats for your information with details.And I will follow your tips.

The only way is to forget about merits and post normally, do this, post normally for a couple of weeks without checking how much merits you have earnt. After the term, check and you will surely be surprised by how many you got if your posts are good, or even if they are just normal but with some sense. Basically, you gotta spend more time here and blend in into the community :)

my tips posted yesterday (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5237082.msg54136599#msg54136599) on april 1st were of course only to be understood with a little wink :P
in the meantime you have already received your first +1 merit and ZaraCB  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5237082.msg54138160#msg54138160)has already shown you the right direction.
now it is up to you! but another good hint that always fits... be active, attentive and helpful... then the rest comes by itself :)

There are several suggestions above to guide you but i will summarize it for you.

I believe you are in the forum to learn crypto and be knowledgeable.

Hence, learn from the forum, and from your understanding; keep contributing your quota to the forum.
With time, you will be noticed for your good contents and rewarded.

There are different ways on how to earn merit. There are rules to be followed about getting merit. Merit selling, trading, begging are not allowed or you'll get red tagges by dt members. Creating helpful post are one of the way that you can earn merit. Some people even get merit because of their post that are funny and still related to the discussed topic.

I merit stuff that informs, entertains or makes me think. A good question is just as worthy as a good answer.

I think the most important thing is to be yourself. Your posts so far say nothing. They have no personality. You seem to be writing what you think people want to hear but they've read it a billion times already. This forum is overflowing with that.

The unique thing you have to offer that no one else has is - you. Don't pretend to be anyone else. Don't attempt to please anyone else. Give us more of you.

For instance, you're in Bangladesh. Write a post about Bitcoin's situation there. I'd be very curious to hear about it as we don't get much information from there.

Still, we don't have an end to this merit starvers.

OP, if you are free taking a look at both of these my threads

1.Don't run for merits! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5193493.msg52779922#msg52779922)

2. Anyone can Rank-up! [Motivational Thread from a noob] (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5211206.msg53394291#msg53394291)

Okay, so probably a dumb question. OP was looking for merit, so I'm assuming that you need merit AND activity to rank up instead of just one or the other? I glanced through the FAQs but assumed it was just one or the other instead of both..

You are replying to me or who?

If me, then you should take a look at both as well because I never really pushed myself to get merits, I just let it to come towards me for what I am doing in this forum.

If I wanted more merits I could make some threads which are trending at the moment but that is not my way of doing it so I never wanted to do it for merit sake.

People like to say there are no dumb questions, only dumb answers... but then again, your question has been asked (and answered) multiple times. So, it is probably classified as an "unnecessary question".

If you're already in the "Beginners & Help" (aka B&H) section, you should really have read the sticky posts at the top like this one: Newbies - Read before posting (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0)

There is a LOT of very good information in that thread... like this:


That last link leads to a post by theymos describing the merit system and how it affects ranks (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.msg28856522#msg28856522). This post starts with:

All need a process to get the best. An obsession that is not supported by will, ability, and effort will only end in disappointment. Some experienced members with good quality posts already provide several links that you can make reference material.
This thread is great as motivation and provides advice to "start" your journey to get merit, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5236206.0

As what have you said, merit is really important, merit will only be given to you if you are posting well or creating topics that are considered as useful or helpful to others. Merits can get by other people, once you created a great post and someone appreciates it then he or she may give you merits.

It is really hard to get merit,  so it requires experience and time, do not be saad if you have low merit as of now  because you are only a beginner and we have experienced it too. Just keep creating useful posts to get merit.

Just asking for farther elaboration on the topic. Sorry, probably should have worded it differently.

Sorry, I read that and thought at first it meant only activity or merit and then when I read this post I wasn't sure. Re-read it and realized people needed both. Now I know. I know that it probably was a fairly dumb misunderstanding, but it is the beginner's help forum isn't it?

At least you took the time to seek clarification... can't fault you for that! It can be difficult admitting that you don't know or don't understand something, especially when everyone else around you seems to already have the knowledge.

If you wanted to gain a lot of merits and at the same time to learn more, try to read my recent thread:

How does creating topics improve you a lot? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5234768.0)

It'll give a lot of ideas how will you create a thread that will help you to gain more merits. One of the advantages of making threads is you really know the topic very well and you can discuss it precisely. By that, there's chance of getting merits if someone appreciates your statements or effort on making those threads. There are many good advice also, please read them and take it seriously 'cause all of it is true. Good luck on your journey bud!

First of all, congratulations for your first merit :D. I hope you are inspired now.

Anyway, let's go back to the topic. Hmm, I visit your post history for a minute and assess it in order to give you a suitable advice. Here are the following:

1) Improve your English writing. I sometimes get confused as I read your posts (like your first post in this thread). I think you are lack of using of punctuatiin marks and proper phrasing. Improve your way of conveying ideas :).
2) As you grow here, you should learn how to go outside. There are lots of sub boards in this forum which may poke your interests. Do not isolate yourself here in the Beginners & Help or other services sections. More knowledge awaits for you, be courageous.

Find topics you are interested in and only comment if you really have something to say.

If you find English hard, go to your local section.

Begging for merits just belittles you, try to not do it.

I think already enough give him a suggestion since we already have a bunch of suggestions from different people at this thread and a lot of thread "How getting a merits".

If you look at his history post, he already backs to his habits to the social media bounty hunter so maybe he will not responding anymore since he already got 1 merits for the bounty. Also he have a few alt accounts and using them for the bounty, so basically he already aware of the forum.

Here the list:

• earncoin234 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2071591)
• alik111 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2370892)

• crypkiller (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2324035)

Just be yourself in commenting and don't copy paste, comment on what you were expert of and avoid non sense commenting

Nice dig dude. So this (acting like a Newbie and post here) is now the new strategy of spammers to increase their activity huh ::)! So pathetic. This is the real power of Merit Sytem, as we can see another user get debunked lol. Farm accounts had no place in here *evil laugh. I hope OP will now realized his mistake and stop once and for all.

It's pretty easy to not break the rules, you only need don't shitpost, off-topic and plagiarism, that's all. It's not about the lucky person to give you merit, but the quality post your create. You should understand about how to make high quality post and helping member in this forum. I believe people and merit sources is always read our post, if you don't get merit, it's because your quality post is low and not deserve a merit.

Even if you think your post is very helpful and have high quality, you can report your post to merit sources here [self-moderated] Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5093271.0)

According to your trust feedback I know the reasons why you said to gain merits is hard https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=2507350

scam thread bumper, part of a large farm of spammer accounts

I guess this OP is looking for merits because he or she wants to rank up or maybe because he is in low rank he can not join to some activity here.
Anyway getting merits is not just like a snap of your fingers "I want merits", people who are in the position of giving you merits can give you easily if your post is constructive and very informative and can help the community here. It will just come if you work for it. Many people who are eligible of giving merits can read our post and maybe if they can see that you deserve one then I guess they will.

There is no hidden truth or secret here 😁
So many newbies join this forum with hope to join some paid project and earn money.
Very quickly they realized that without reputation and higher forum ranks they can't do much on this forum.
So,  it seems that 99% newbies talks only about merits here 😁
In fact,  you should invest your time and effort in order to contribute to this forum and find a way how to help and support other members.
If you do so than you don't need to worry about merits.
It's very simple but no so many new members practise it.

I cans ee that in 2 months time since you posted this thread,You have already earned 5 merits,things that proves us that you can earn more doing a right thing.

Just continue posting related and valuable posts and you won't even noticed that you already ranking up.

Dont just focus looking for merit because it will come eventually instead focus in helping others here in crypto forum.

I do understand how it feels not having the desirable merits of the post made so far. You shouldn't belittle yourself that your post doesn't count for it not to be merited on. Each of every member of this forum longs for merits but the only sure way to that is to post constructively, be consistent and be yourself. Try as much as to be reading other peoples suggestion about a post to enable you to gain more knowledge about crypto before giving your own opinion 

Sometimes that's what newbies actually feel since whatever efforts they do sometimes they will get less prio getting merits since they are less to be notice, But they shouldn't get discourage with it and make this a challenge since for sure when their contents will be seen helpful to the others or informative then provably they will get those merits from the other users here.

I personally think that there is no easy way up. Gaining tons of merits and eventually ranking up doesn't happen in just a snap or in a blink of an eye.

It takes lot of effort to achieve what you want. In fact, that doesn't apply solely in this forum. In every aspect of life, we have to give the best we've got. There are members here who climbed their way up to their hero and legendary ranks. But it didn't happen because of luck or because of begging for merits. They did their part—create an informative, relevant, and timely thread, and/or post with good quality.

However, I understand that even when you think that you did everything, you just feel like no one seems to notice because after all, every member here has their own criteria before giving one a merit. But no need to feel too downhearted about it. Just make it a challenge and improve yourself.

Go to the links mentioned before this response, and read them. And as I usually say here in this forum, aim to gain knowledge and to learn first, then other things will follow—including merits. ;D

OP already joined a year's ago and this is not quite convincing that you are having struggle into getting merits because you already one of the elder with a long rank and it's looks like you are an altcoin account because most of your post is not convincing enough to get a merit. Some of your content you are not new into the world of this forum because you have a lot of quoted and created a thread that is a lot of information. Those accounts are already busted and I think you are just using a lower account just to send merits to your higher accounts just to make a merits trading but if you are just a newbie you will reply to our comments about this post and make a defense on your self.

Merits do not matter here if you want just to learn more knowledge this is the most essential thing we need right here because there are a lot of ideas and contents you could use into your future knowledge and skills may apply merit may see as a reflection to your number of contribution and help you the other members and by that, you can use this now as to apply to the campaigns.

I agree probably he just needs to continue being active here in the forum looking at his post history he already doing a lot of work and I could say good post here in the forum. You don't need to worry about the merit just be active and learn here in the forum merits will surely come in the process. There is no secret or tricks to get merit here because merit is given by the other users so its either you have a good post or you have a helpful post for them. A lot of members are not going to like it if you continue to make topics about merits since a lot of established members don't like it here. It would be best to stop talking about it probably a lot of members is going to think that you goal is just ranking up.

I am sure not all beginners are those who dont understand about bitcoin or cryptocurrency. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency have been well presented by various media and allow one to learn more without having to use discussion forums. There are two possibilities if a beginner can post quality things, it will usually be considered an alt from someone who is already established or they are educated beginners who come late to the forum.

Contributions begin with desires and sometimes these desires do not arise initially for various reasons. Contributions will be rewarded with merit and it is a gift for those who care about the quality of posts that benefit others and forums. Everyone can contribute, but not everyone is able to do it especially for those who are lazy to learn.
