Bitcoin Forum

Many of us are there who are just trying to stand in the forum. Many are here who are just want to earn.
And many are those who just want to learn. And some of them have both purposes.

I have seen many of the members who are just trying to stand in the forum they are making the posts and want to get the merits.
But they never give up.
And I want to suggest that keep it up. Because success comes after failure if you try try again and you will try to make the constructive posts than there will be the time when you will fully stand and will be raked up.

Like you can see these two profiles which I am going to share. One of them has 140+ post and got only one merit.
And one of them has 300+ posts but only 3 merits. But I really appreciate to them they are trying to make the constructive posts. One of them is a bounty hunter but he/she is in touch with the forum too.

And I learned from my elders that try and try again till success. You will be succeeded one day if you never give up.
Sorry to these two persons if they hurted. But I realy appreciate to there work.

What the elders say is true because the moment you are trying, you are not only getting more knowledge but also getting experience but using people that have opened an account here since 2018 and yet not having 10 merits as an example can not help you. These users should please permit me to make the statement like that as they can be a bounty hunter. But, like your main goal is to have merits and rank up, right? Then use members that have ranked up as examples, you will need to emulate what this members have done before by checking the quality of their posting content. These can help you to raking up until legendary is achieved but yet helping you to getting more merits as long as you are on this forum. If you need some users posts which I believe can help you to develop yours, you can check LovceV, DdmrDdmr, CryptopreneurBrainboss, o_e_l_e_o, pooya87, Upgrade00 and some other ranked members profile to checking their posting qualities. If you check their topics and posts, you will be able to know that you need to make more researches about bitcoin and other crypto in order to rank up.

Why are you here and why do you make this topic?

Focus on yourself as now you don't have enough time and good tutorial to share.

How did you know them? Are they your friends?
One of them was banned (SomeJasonGuy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1567923))

How do you know them?

Yes they have lots of posts but all of them are reports for the bounty they are in,  I'm sure anyone will never give merit for a bounty report, for me, I think the only one who will give merit for a bounty report he was in is his alt account, meritable post are those informative post, and are helpful to others, there are members here who have for example 300 post and got like 200 plus merit because their post is informative and helpful.

Well, we have here different kinds of members, we have members here who joined this forum just for bounty or to earn money, they don't even participate in different informative section, there's no problem with them because that is their choice and that is heir life, we cant tell them what to do but we can give them good advice that can help them to be better and earn more money in the future. The other kind of members is those who joined to gain knowledge so they keep on participating in different sections to gain knowledge. Earnings that they can have in the signature campaign are just a bonus for them.

What does it mean to try again? You give an example of a banned account, and what next? I'll tell you, then he will try again? Ha-ha, this is funny. Believe me, if he did not understand the rules of the forum 86 times, and starts registering another account, then the next one will be banned.
How are these 2 “favorite accounts” different? Are they yours? Are you sorry?
Please gather your thoughts together and write really smart posts. ::)

You also need to keep I see that you are also a good poster and they also have to participate in threads where Merit giver is giving merits to people who they believe have good and informative posts that deserve merit, they have to make themselves relevant and show that they are contributing to this forum, they will eventually get what they deserve.

It will really feel tough and hard if you always post just to earn merits. Don't pressure yourself too much yo will still rank up even your just taking things in a slower and calmed way.
Merits will come if someone finds your post interesting.
If you will work hard, it will be paid off soon, just be patient and be disciplined.

We don't need any more motivation and beaten to death generic advice for newbies like "make quality posts and earn merit". It's better to not talk about merit, as it's just an imaginary internet points, but if you choose to, at least make something novel - explain in detail what makes a post useful, why some people earned thousands of merit while others earned none, talk about earning merit on different boards and so on.

Thanks sir, but please note that most of us here are barely weeks or month's old & we are still struggling to understand the Dos & don't of the forum not to talk further or more of earning merits through post's etc,
It's really hard for us though, I know you've also been there years back so hopefully I believe one can still perceive that feeling of amateur in us newbies & high interest of earning more merits, but in the cause of finding a means to earn more merits, let's also try to learn more so as to fill the next generation with the type of knowledge our current heroes & legendary members are leading us with.

Well, you should learn from those examples you included in your post. Don't merely post on bounty threads if you want to grow here in this community. And you should also listen to those elders you're talking about. They've been here long enough and experienced enough and we can also say that somehow, they were once in your shoes so their opinion matters especially when wanting to excel in this field. And also remember that failure is not the opposite of success. It's part of it.

Just tell me, what do you need merits for?
What do you need a rank for? You write about zeal for knowledge. What prevents you from gaining knowledge? Lack of merits?
Knowledge about bitcoin is absolutely free here.

Do you think that after receiving the merit, your brain will begin to perceive information better?

I have nothing against you personally, but your post speaks precisely about the connection between knowledge and merit. Here I don't understand

You have to develop that passion for crypto to be able to make some high contribution in this space, you don't have to focus on earning merits, instead spread how addicted you are with crypto and help those who are lost, you will be amazed with how many merits you will be rewarded later on

Failing and not quiting is everything a man ever needs in this life, the reason why less people makes it in this world is losing and quiting after few try, the moment you managed to confuse yourself that you can't do it anymore it's over, you become what you said and your brain shut down in the process

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

You need to upgrade your post quality and also start learning and reading others posts than making unreasonable posts and thread just to get smerit just concentrate gaining more knowledge and from the right source.

A lot of reports from the bounty section for both profile that you have mentioned so basically they wouldn't receive merit for that thing, I have seen also a lot of members who are asking how they could gain merits but they still keep on being active in the bounty section but at least they are trying their best to understand how they could receive any merits.

I just notice one thing in your thread, it is just a bad habit posting a profile of other members without any permission from them, that is so unethical for me, especially if you are talking about negative things for them, even though they do not participate in any other useful section, it is not still enough reason for doing such things. Just try to think of it, if you are the one posted in this kind of thread, how would you react to it.

Don't spam. There is nothing hard about this rule at all, you're not going to tell me you're too stupid to remember this very simple rule?

The problem is that a lot of these people feel as if this forum owes them something. As if suddenly they will find the magic word and heaps of Merits and the Bitcoins will come flying in.

The truth is plain and simple: this forum doesn't owe you anything and if you haven't got anything useful to say today, you probably will have nothing interesting to say tomorrow. So feel free to read around on these boards, but stop posting your zero-value hollow phrases.

Let me give you a few examples of shitposts from this thread:


That's a shitpost, and so is this:


Do you guys really think we didn't know that already?? Then why do you post this shit?

And actually, same goes for OP. This is a shit thread, with a topic that has been posted over and over and over again, every day and every week, all the time the same message using other words, by people who think they will get rich eventually by posting hundreds of boring and useless and repetitive phrases over and over again. In other words: spam.

Earning merit is a cliche thing to let newbies make a lot of good and quality posts here in this forum.

Maybe we should change that mindset and tell them that making quality posts will make them grow as an individual so that they will become independent when they want to become a successful investors. The thing that they are aiming is to earn merit which is really make them distracted in making good posts and they are just making long and non-content posts or replies.

Merit is nothing if you are just making post for that, make posts because you want to learn and brighten up your knowledge in crypto world and blockchain technology. By that, you can become successful investor in the future.

Let them express themselves the way they can. Don't get too busy thinking about something they might suppose right if they really don't want to take advice. Just ignore it and report the post to moderator for removal (as you usually do) if the post fall into the low quality category and is useless.

Whether you realize it or not, almost every day you will see swarm of newbie coming to the forum and getting merit in almost the same way. I don't think they are all new to the forum, but some of them are longtime user hiding behind newbie masks.

4 reason why they need merit.
1. Rank up
2. Join bounty or signature campaign
3. Reputation
4. Achievement

Well I must admit, it's not easy at all for us newbies especially myself, we just trying to learn and adapt following the laid down rules and regulations from our elders and senior colleagues on this forum. Let's all keep faith, and continue learning. We shall definitely soar high over time if we do the right thing and learn from our able and notable elders.

A successful person knows no failure just as a failure knows nothing as success. Failure comes only when you stop or quit the process. Should you persist and continue in trying to overcome your obstacles or challenges and eventually succeed, then you never experienced failure.

Individuals who mostly fail to archive a goal are not individuals who doesn't try at all though, these are the worst set of persons, they are the individuals who ware out in the process. It all depends on how you view and feel your obstacles. If you view them as that which is bigger than you, it would subdue but, should you view it as just another challenge that you must go through to archive another greater goal, then your just as likely to succeed.

As I thought too, Many newbies keep popping up with different goals. But some newbies are old users on this forum who hide behind the newbie mask with good quality posts. Maybe the purpose of hiding behind the newbie mask is to express themselves without using the main account so that they will be freer, like having multiple personalities or something.

For some reason that you mentioned the most desirable is to move up the rankings and then be able to join the signature bounty campaign. This is the goal of most members to earn income every week or every month. I also feel it this time. But behind all that there is a lot of struggle to be done. It's not easy to get to the current rankings because it's not only merit that is needed, but it contributes well to forums and relevant posts.

i look at failures as stepping stones to success! im here to learn and educate others anything else is a bonus.

Success will only come if you learn from your failures, some don't learn from their past mistakes and they remain in the same spot till date, if they don't work on themselves they won't grow, mistake is inescapable but learning from mistakes is how we move higher in life.

There is a very simple and natural way to get merit in this forum; share your knowledge and experience with others.
Younger members don't have much to share yet and find it harder to get merits but they need to be patient and learn.
All the old and experienced members were also once young and inexperienced, like you.
Success doesn't come overnight and there's no short cut.
I think there are a lot of well-meaning members on the forum who are happy to help newbie, with advice and merits, if they see a certain effort from the side of new members.

Success dosen't comes after failure of you didn't learn from your failure.  Succes comes when you trying a lot, when we don't lose your hope, when you don't stop working after failed.
Failure is a part of our life in every step we see failure. From our childhood when we could not stand but still we try to stand and then we stand we run but we don't feel shy. They why we should shy when we fail some time what we start to our future. Yes we Should not ashamed on us when we need to any legal work if we got paid for our work. And the work is legal no matter this work is has high status or low just a matter is. Is it legal or not? If legal then don't feel ashamed just start.

Failure is forever and success is often, the fact is to break a level you will surely get some failure, the not giving up spirit is what will guide you through into the next level, those who give up will remain in the same spot because they give up easily, if you can't embrace failure and accept your mistakes you won't want to learn how to avoid such mistakes on future, I see failure as the best teacher( if you want to learn)

It’s said that consistency matters and like The elders says when you keep doing it you learn more and gain more knowledge and understanding because a thousands miles begins with a step. When you keep the forum rules and contributing positive contributions to these bitcoin community.

Successful people come after experiencing failure or we often say that those who are successful must have failed, but people who fail are not necessarily successful. There is still a process that must be undertaken after experiencing failure or it is often termed learning from failure. There are many newbies who have not received merit or fail to get merit because they never learned from their experience, or they are just persistent but never introspecting on whether my posts are quality or not. Merit will only be given with posts that match the qualifications, I, who have been in this forum for a long time and have been on hiatus for several years, feel what newbies feel about getting merit, but I realize why it is difficult for me to get merit because maybe my posts still do not meet the qualifications, and have to be better in the future. The key is not just how persistent you are to keep posting but how much you improve the quality of your posts.

Success might not come after failure because some people never learn from their failure, they will still keep making same mistakes over again, everyone in the world atleast knows the taste of failure, why isn't everyone successful then? I hope you understand what I'm saying

failure makes us strong. teach us lessons in life, all the hardship and trouble we face gives us the courage to move forward, along the way we learn new things, applying those things that we learn during our hardship lay the foundation in everyone's success, the mentality to not giving up even in hard times, will surely result to success in life, so remember no matter how hard things go our way we should never give up, and keep fighting because at the end of the battle is the victory for those who never give up.

No one can measure success or rate success of person with another, what really inspired people to merit certain Post's is based on point and new innovation created to the bitcointalk community, so making meaningless points to the community really make a user to be dormant in merit, but having multiplication of posts or topics, that yield nothing to the forum showed that the user needs more efforts to accelerate.

And it's obvious that no hope is lost, elevation in life starts with activeness, consciousness and observation, see before adventuring into anything try to observe the environment, most especially in bitcointalk community, making such point that success comes after failure, I don't think is  good idea because some people propagates without observing or experience any difficulties, it differs in life of man that's while our talent's are different.

Not only in the aspect of the crypto world, even in real life, failure comes first before you can finally taste success. Many people fail to understand it, they easily give up after experiencing only just few mistakes. They do not use those failures as a weapon or as an instrument to succeed, they only use it as a source of despair which is very wrong because it wouldn't bring them anywhere, it will only make them stagnant. In everything, giving up is always an option, be wise with your decision if you really want to be successful in life.

if people provide something useful, i am pretty sure they're going to get some merit, but it still so hard to get enough merit to rank up, some people will find something someone wrote useful but they don't give merit because they were too lazy to do it or didn't even think about it, all we can do is try our best to help the community with our knowledge and hope for the best.

That is a normal saying and it will always been the thing but if you do not work hard towards achieving the success at the end of it all then you will still remain in the failure which you are trying to go out of it.

Not for everyone, some people don't want to lose anything and they want to gain everything, some people don't even know how to stand up when they are down, some people even too scared to lose, have you ever sit back and ask yourself why many people aren't so rich in this world today? The fact is every one can't make it
