                                                                                                      STILL I ARRIVED

I wanted to say the race to ranking nh up but, It would be wrong because, you ain't competing with no one but your lazy self! Yes, your lazy self. The part of you that has made you hesitant to putting in work and ensure a more beautiful forum for all. For this reason, you blame the forum for not being able to rank up but, this is yet another post to let you beginners know that ranking up is possible.

I actually ranked up on the 28th November, 2020 as a full member after almost a year of slow progress in the forum because, I wasn't able to conquer my lazy self until I did! The important thing is that I did and now I'm proudly a full member. It's a matter of how you view challenge though, I'll hate for it that the challenge is about ranking up but then, it's more of how much can you offer to the forum in terms of knowledge and building you.

To keep it to a minimum, I'm celebrating my new rank with a merit give away for those that fall within certain criteria and it's not much, just 14 sMerit and it must be earned by virtue of your contribution to the bulk of knowledge in the forum. It's my first give away and to ensure only the credible gets merited, I'll merit the application itself in place of the posts after going through for quality.

Just want to congratulate you, it is not easy to be a full member, your full membership which you have just achieved is enough to know how hard you have worked by quality posts you now have on this forum. Try to posts more and earn more merits to be able to rank up more.

I will like to suggest you to add one more rule, 'that posts in bitcoin related sections will only be given merit'. Although, that depends on your opinion.

I  am not seeking any merit here but want to congratulate you on your achievement.  :)

I am new on the forum and spending more of my time reading the forum, rather than posting.

Its never too late and congratulations to you on becoming a full member. I hope you will take it as a motivation and your focus will now be to become Sr. Member and above  :)

I just want to congratulate you on ranking up to full member and you are right that it is not a race of increasing your rank with the rest of the forum member but it is about how you can help to those who need help. I also have a message for newbies and in simple one word that meant a lot and that is LEARN.

Congratulation for @OP, you deserve for it and hopefully you can reach next level soon  :) Goodluck

There is a little typo from your requirement
It should be "member"

In 2019 you started your career here, indicating that you are serious about cultivating this forum and now that you have reached full membership, it's amazing what you have achieved is not easy but you have passed it.

There is still a long time in the future where your target now is to go to a senior member but I think it can be achieved even though it takes a long time but you in this forum have provided benefits for others in providing content.

Just want to drop by and say congratulations to you, OP. That's a nice way of celebrating your success — also helping others up. Like others, surely it wasn't an easy journey to reach such rank. But you still made it. Well deserved.

There's only one applicant at the moment. Hope others will see this too and try their luck. Good luck and congrats once again.

First I want to congratulate you.  You have been able to identify your obstacles and overcome them. So today you are a full member. I hope you don't stop there. You will continue your contribution in the forum.

Here is my application.

Congratulation on your achievement mate, reaching a full member rank is not that easy but you did it and it shows how good are you in this forum, Good luck to your next milestone and sees you with the next rank, I know that it will take so many months or even years but at least with that, there is a lesson that we could gain for every day.
That is good to train every newbie with that format.

Congratulations on your rank up as a full member, you have worked your ass off for this and its alright tl basks in the glory of that, but while at that take a reflection and understand where you did well and where you did not and know where amendments will come in, so more ranks will be under your belts, good luck and congratulations.

Before I give my application I would like to give you congratulations because not all the time most members can reach this kind of rank I hope someday I'm going to achieve this.

Another proof that success will be achieved if we are willing to try and continue to do it consistently. Regarding quality post, I know all users have their own way of judging whether what we write and share here is useful or not. This will determine the speed at which a person runs to reach his rank, especially with regard to merit. What need to be done is trying to post something that is constructive, useful and can be understood well by readers.

Regarding merit, some users may seem very easy to get merit consistently because they do have knowledge, experience that allows them to post quality thing every day. But most of the other users have to try their best and work hard to get it because the merit they get are not as easy as other get, and this is sometime the main reason merit beggar keep bombarding the thread with their grievance.

OP, congratulation on your rank (full member) but there is still a long way to go until you reach Legendary rank. You have to try and do better than ever if you are to achieve this. Keep spirit. Just for the record, I am a Legendary member who was postponed due to merit.  :D
But I believe one day I can achieve it. I only need 365 merit to get to that rank, hopefully in 2021.

Congratulations to the OP for achieving Full Member rank. You are an inspiration for the beginners.  It has been made possible by your hard work and your contribution to the forum. We hope that in the future you will contribute more to the forum and become a valuable asset of this forum.

Hoping that other members will see how you did your best to achieve that rank. I just don't like the mindset of other members here, they are just starting but they are demanding for a huge amount of merit and ranked up immediately. In this forum, you should do your best every time, just like what you did. You do your part to help other people become knowledgeable about the things that you know and to create a discussion that an enlighten someone regarding a certain topic. Again, Congratulations to your achievement here in bitcointalk forum!

I just want to put it to beginners that ranking up is possible and merits aren't hoard for any obvious reasons by those who has and it's only awarded to the most deserving and so, my giveaway stands but then, beginners really has to fine in themselves how they can do the most work and enjoy the forum in the process. That's the key to a great time in the forum  as you never can do very much if you ain't enjoying it, it's like your being pushed or your hands are being forced and no one does very well under such conditions.
So, you make it enjoyable, you'll always find your way here.
Appreciate y'all kind gesture, grateful.

Inspiring one, congrats op I hope I could also reached what you achieved ranking up to your level from newbie is hard if you have no dedication and spending lots of time in this forum you deserve it.
