Bitcoin Forum

Haha, I tricked you believing it was a hack, right? Sorry, it's not that simple, but anyway let me give you some tip about how to earn merit points. I do not say it will guarantee merit points, but it will definitely give you a better chance.

- Try to create new meaningful topics with high quality. And remember to reply to your thread to keep it active, but do not spam!
- Learn how to use the text formatting functionality to make your post look better and easier to read.
- Reply to topics and read other replies before you comment so you don't repeat what's been said earlier, unless you are adding something to the comment
- Use proper grammar, and try to write ad good English as you can. Check for spelling mistakes and the misuse of singularity.
-  Posting relevant comments/topics in hot forums increases your chances of getting merited. If you find a hot coin in example, great posts about that particular coin will increase your chances of getting merited.

And a final advice:
- Do not buy merit points from other users. That will make you risk getting banned.

NB: Merit is a new system and it will probably take time to earn merits. It's not done overnight. Keep using my tip and you will see it increase over time.

Edit: added the suggestion from Jet Cash

You can also check for spelling mistakes, and the misuse of singularity. :)

Added to the list. Thanks for giving me constructive feedback and help to improve my thread. It is much appreciated. Hope other users can learn something from this post.

Getting merit even with making meaning new topics is by luck. A newbie got two by creating one or two new topics and got 2 in one week but as a member, I have posted to the best of my ability but got no merit. I don’t really understand that aspect in the forum; I need some clarifications on this. Meanwhile some junior members without any merit today cried because they have their ranks removed from up to down. They are back to newbies. How sad! Does it mean the new rule is that without a merit no promotion to junior member?

What's the basis of hot forum/hot coin? On the number of replies? If that's the case, you might end up replying to Spam Mega Threads (stay away if it's SMT)

Suggestion:
- Try to post or join in the discussions on boards where members are mostly giving Merits.
  I searched for a related thread and saw this one. This is not updated, but I think would still be helpful : Where the Merit Pours? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3093768.0)

Exactly.

I think another advice is to comment on a topic you are knowledgeable about , don't comment on topic you don't know much about it, also comment on other section of the forum, most people make all their post on altcoin discussion for bounty purposes.
