I think you have a brilliant idea by providing opportunities for newbie and Junior members who have quality posts to be able to rank up based on the assistance of the merit you distribute, but it looks like you have to add some local rules to the thread that no one has registered for many accounts.

I also think that you should consider that accounts created after this thread has been issued will not be given a merit assuming that the account was created solely to get merit from you. Apart from all that, you have the right to determine how you should distribute merit for quality posts from low ranking users.

Good suggestions,  I accept it as new rules.
I may offer you a job as contest manager 😀

Thank you for a very good applications until now.
I will have very difficult job to chose 3 the best applications and give reward.
In fact, I'm sorry that I don't have more merits available so that I can help more young members in this forum but I invite others to also reward good and constructive posts from our newbie and jr members and help them rank up in the forum.
They really deserve our support and help in the begining of their forum ''life''  ;D ;D

but I invite others to also reward good and constructive posts from our newbie and jr members and help them rank up in the forum.
Just as i did in the last giveaway thread you started here in the beginners section, I gave out a few merits to some of the users who had good posts. I have few merits to give now, and by the end of the application on Monday, I'll also give out a few merits on this giveaway thread.
I will have very difficult job to chose 3 the best applications and give reward.
Imo it's not even going to be as difficult as I thought it will be, there are only very few applications as of now, I expected it to be more honestly.

Opening up a thread like this somehow boost lower rank members to create good post. I like the initiative mate, if youre going to update the winners of this event. I  will award some merits too to those Ive think in my opinion show a constructive posting. Not every members have the talents to do so. Not saying, only good post deserved merits but some are started from shitposter and improved their post eventually. That's why sometime Ive checked their post history and from that I can see that for example this user has greatlt improved since then. Learning to post quality one takes time not everyone here is genius and got some humor to entice high ranks. Thumbs up @Daniel91.

I expected it to be more honestly.
These are the users deserved merits. Some that create post with their honesty and eager to learn and help not those making post to earn merits specifically.

Agreed, I think that initiating this kind of thread persuades newer members to learn and contribute for the betterment of the community. If I were to ask, receiving merit gives me a boost of courage to continue the eagerness of learning and sharing it to the community, it is like that I am being honoured and being seen in the community.

I will be more than happy to see hand drawn posts related to bitcoin just like the above post. I am also willing to give some of my sMerit just to boost newbies to strive in an endless learning. Hoping that they will not be tired.

Thank you guys!
My goal, when I started this topic, was to encourage and inspire new and young members to put effort and time into writing good and constructive posts.
Doing so would help those who deserve to be helped, based on their hard work and effort.
I have very similar topic in my local Croatian section and I'm happy to support my local Croatian members to!
The merit system has made it harder for the young members to advance in the forum and I think that we, the senior members of the forum, have a responsibility and an obligation to support younger members as much as we can.

First of all, thank you for creating this thread. We do much appreciate because it helps low rank membes to be serious. Thank you ones again.
I have few articles I hope you will like.

This is the first, it is about hardware wallets, it cotains replies from even high ranks that will really help people about how to secure hardware wallets
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5231368.msg53990969#msg53990969

The second is, crypto scam revealed. This will help people to avoid bitcoin and altcoin scam
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5232577.msg54021683#msg54021683

Third, how to secure crypto wallets. This gives insight about how to protect crypto wallets because hackers are always online with malacious tactics. You will like it too.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5235930.msg54107672#msg54107672

The fourth,  is the likely events that can results to bitcoin price rise after halving. It shows how halving itself has not significant effect that the effect can only be significant through whales manipulation and retail investors anticipation that can lead to buying of bitcoin and results to price increase in positive feedback manner
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5232054.msg54008321#msg54008321

The fifth, it was about the shit coin I bought this year that has led me to loss
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5231118.msg53982691#msg53982691

Sixth,  it is about the recent malacious means scammers are using to collect bitcoin or altcoin or money from affected regions
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5237478.msg54146045#msg54146045

Ultimately, it is about atomic swap. I posted it here because it led to some people replying that it is false that no real atomic swap this day, that the wallet claiming to be using using it are making use of exchanges. That no swap can occur only between two people. Although, all included in the write up some kind.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5234097.msg54060847#msg54060847
