Title: Ranking up is possible! 2900 Merits earned in less than 12 months!My 11 Hints!
Post by: fillippone on January 16, 2019, 07:07:32 PM

This is another graph representation of my incoming merits over time:

You can see my complete Trust network here (http://loyce.club/trust/2019-06-29_Sat_06.02h/1852120.html), using LoyceV trust list Viewer (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5102296.0).
I encourage you to edit your own Trust List.
I am a solid DT1 member, according to LoyceV DT1 rankings (http://loyce.club/trust/ranking/).

If you want to know a little more about me, you can read my interview here:

[Interviews] with Bitcointalk members (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5262967.msg54954247#msg54954247)

This is to present my journey on the forum so far.

I see a lot of whining from newbies and Jr. Members about merits, how to earn them, and how unfair merit system is.
It is not.
I worked hard, I studied, i tried to focus on learning and sharing what I learnt.

I think I can share with you some suggestion on how improve your chances of writing good posts, and then getting merits. Please note the order of the two actions: it is not coincidence.

It’s all about the knowledge. Try to think about merits as a knowledge exchange: you give merit when you learn something new, you get merit when you teach something new, or you make other people think about something old in a new way. Once you progress in the knowledge you can start answering other users' question and solving their problems, or start contributing to the forum providing new resources or tools, if you have the skills. Just try to figure out the best way to do so that suits your capabilities and resources.

Corollary: Avoid posting one liner post, or worse any one word posts: things like "Nice!" "Well written" "You are so right!" are considered null even in the scammiest signature campaign thread, let alone being considered useful regarding merits.
Write always having Forum Rules in mind. There are many threads about them. Writing according to the official/unofficial guideline of the forum is welcome, as puts the reader in the best position to appreciate your work, that could be simply not taken in consideration if blatantly contrary to basic forum rules or netiquette. Or even could be marked as abuse.
I might suggest two threads to help you familiarize with such topics:
- Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0)
- [GUIDE] Bitcointalk forum etiquette (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5136703.new#new)

Write correctly, avoid typos and edit your post at the best of your possibilities (don’t forget punctuation marks). Typos, grammar errors, strange sentence syntax might dampen the effectiveness of your message. I learnt the hard way when I got almost no merits on the first revisions of my guide. A good hint is to proofread your text with a Word Processor before posting. Preview your message before posting to spot errors in links, or opportunities to improve the general layout of the message.

Corollary: Quote politely: bad quoting can worsen the reading experience of other users. Quoting the whole message to answer only a specific part below, or answer a few question all below the quoted text are bad practices. This is something not related to this forum specifically, so you might already know about what I am saying here. If you don't please get used to best quoting practice reading one of the many good guides out there, like this one (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4667594).
Post only in threads where you think there are people actually listening to what you are saying: a thread of 20000+ pages is too long to be read from start to last messages. (reference to actual threads like Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336) is purely coincidental). The probability of reading the same message or concept again and again is very high. Hence people wanting to learn something (giving merits) have already moved away since a few dozen messages.
This point is probably a corollary of the previous rule, but it is too important and an error too common not to be treated as a separate one: do not post on Altcoin section. The signal/noise ration on that boards section is very low. All the posts are about scam project and/or signatures campaign. Nobody is actually interested in the content of the posts, so merit sources are not even reading this forum: as it is almost impossible to find meritable posts and as time is a scarce resource, they are probably reading more boards where chances of reading good posts are higher.
Read about the merit system, learn how it works, understand how Merits and activity influence your post habits.
Read those guides:
- FAQ: Everything you need to know about forum 'activity, account ranks and merit (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2766177.0)
- Forum ranks/positions/badges (What do those shiny coins under my name mean?) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0)
- Merit & new rank requirements (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0)
Keep your signal/noise ratio high. Post only when you have sensible thing to say. Don’t post one word reply (“I do agree!”, “You are right bro!” or “NO!”), but expand the knowledge giving details to the previous answer, or motivate your thoughts and reasoning. When people see your nickname on the left, must be willing to read your new post because already knows she’s going to learn something.
Don’t hoard your sMerit. Spend them, according to aforementioned criteria, but spend them. Find good material on the forum and reward someone. This will start a few positive feedback loops: first this will encourage more good posts on the forum, that is our main objective, secondly will create some kind of “bond” with the merited person, that will recognise you next time you write and will be more keen to merit you back( this is not merit begging or merit swapping, it is more a subtle, psychological, not conscious effect) and lastly, above all will signal you as a user that recognise good posts. A user recognising good posts is perceived as a user writing good posts: you send Merits, the more they will come back to you!
Try to stick around. Not only your signal/noise ratio must be kept high, but also you should post frequently. The forum has a short-lived memory, and they forgot the reputation of a member if you make yourself forgotten.
If you truly believe you have written some good post, you can dare to actually ask for merit. That shouldn't be done on a random topic, otherwise it could be considered Merit Begging, but on explicitly designed threads like the two following (others might exist on local boards):
- [self-moderated] Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5093271.0/)
- UPDATED [05/03/2019]: List of Active Merit Giveaways threads. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5096125.0/)
- Giving 16 Newbie/Jr. Members a Chance to Rank Up (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5085605.msg48700554#msg48700554)

After all those tips on what I suggest you to do, I can tell you the only thing you must be sure of never doing: Merit Begging.
Firstly merit begging is against forum rule (check them all here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.msg7955645#msg7955645)).
Secondly, posting messages asking for merits, or even worse, sending PM to other users on the forum asking for merits, is a deeply frown activity, and can piss off other users fairly quickly. A pissed off user is less likely to read your message (you can easily end up in her ignore list), and a user not reading your message is a user that is not giving merits to you.

Here I am posting some threads I am particularly proud of:

The post I care the most about is a review of PlanB stock to flow model. Stock To Flow Model: Modeling Bitcoin's Value with Scarcity (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5191012.msg52690215#msg52690215)
I try to explain the model itself, trying to guide the reader trough the misconception about it
My first heavily merited post is a simple translation of Stadicus guide in Italian to help Italian members running a full Bitcoin Note + Lightning Node.
[GUIDA] Nodo Bitcoin + Lightning Network su Raspberry PI (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5092648.msg49026596#msg49026596)
I learnt a lot writing that guide, I got merits.
Now I am a full member of the Bitcoin Forum Community, I run a Full Bitcoin Node (and HODLING strong!)
On this post I review a series of indicators and I try to figure out Bitcoin price directions. No TA bullshit, only "fundamental analysis"
Bitcoin Bearish or Bullish? Here my thoughts: MAY UPDATE (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5106432.msg51296005#msg51296005)
A less serious post on how many private key are possible in the Bitcoin Protocol, our mind is not programmed to understand very large numbers
There are 2^256 private keys out there: how big is that number? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5147514.msg51224295#msg51224295)

If you want to track your merits and reproduce the graphs I inserted here, you can use the following resources:

Merit table:
https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=fillippone
Merit Chart:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3395255.0

That posted was born as a celebration for my ranking up as full member, but slowly evolved on a guide on how to write good stuff. So I wanted to move it on the most appropriate section where it can be more useful to new people wanting to increase their merits count.

Legendary, shall I think as a feasible objective for next halving?
Having the joy of the protocol being enacted for yet another time, being promoted to Legendary and maybe a decent bull run!
Only 882 merits left!

if you keep it up this way, chances are you will have enough merit to be a legendary member before required activities, unfortunately the activity is not something you can work on, it's annoying to say the least, and if a day passes without posting you miss the count. i hope that one day this "army" ranking system will not be used on the forum anymore and all the ranking becomes merit related only.

Activity is each post, capped at 14 every forth night. So you can skip as many days if you want...if you catch up later. But yes, you cannot basically improve activity faster than one per day on average. It’s slower than I would like.

I hope I can get motivated by this and turn this into fuel for my expansion

This is what you get when you help people to know more about bitcoin. We are still in the first month of 2019, and if you continue to help people, and share more great ideas, for sure you can become Sr. member this year, and don’t stop yet because becoming Legendary is also possible.

This should be the proof, that we can still rank up if we use our time and talents to share good things in this forum, hopefully more users will share their inspiring stories of doing good things to others. Btw, congrats! :)

Actions and behavior The important thing is good intentions. If someone wants to do good intentions, later we can also be good.
what else gives ideas that move in the social world such as in forums, economics, and any bitcoin if it is related to social possibilities it will be good, and the results like you have achieved are now fully ranke,

I advised: continue to express posts with the intention to provide motivation especially for forum members, not to stop innovating, remain creative, uplifting and not give up. Many things can be achieved in this forum for you.

Knowledge is what we are here for. Bitcoin is a difficult topic at the crossroads of very different fields (cryptography, economics, distributed systems, game theory to say the first coming to my mind), so understanding it openly might be difficult. That’s why I am here.

This is a great encouragement for everyone of us who is trying our very best to get ranked up.. It's been really hard because even if you post or reply useful & meaningful topic we still did not get the merit we deserve (but I don't blame the merit sources - it is on our part that lacks the knowledge to give a useful contribution). With this we will study hard and gain more knowledge for me to able to ranked up even just for a member rank. I registered last june 2018 and from now I still did not ranked up to member so I will motivate myself to be good in this forum.

Congrats to you. You are absolutely correct. A lot of newbies and low ranks are whining about not able to rank up, not earning any merits. But how does that come. The do not contribute anything useful to the forum. the only thing they care about is to rank up as high as possible to be able to earn more on signatures campaigns, etc.
But they forgot the intention of a forum. A forum is a place where people share thoughts, share valuable information, support people, answer questions. A forum is a place of people forming a community that help each other. But thats something they forget. they only care about ranks and merits.

A lot of newbies and low ranks are whining about not able to rank up, not earning any merits.

The whining comes mostly from members who are not concerned with climbing up the ladder but just desire the minimum with which to wear a signature and earn some tokens, and earning one merit is not a difficult task, ranking higher up is and requires more dedication and more effort, so there is little whining.

To rank up isn't easy but isn't impossible.

Congrats fillippone, looks like it wasn't easy to get those 100 merits. But since you get them that only say you are making a great job in the forum, keep it up like that and for sure you are a good example for other users :D

And ranked up to Full-Member on January 8 which is very close day to you.
I feel we have some in common :)

Also this is my received Merit network. Thank you, everyone!

If you'll be asking me, there's only one thing that I can say.
What I've been doing is what I feel like to do. If you're not getting any, then there's something that you're lacking, and that is the PRESENCE OF YOURSELF WITHIN THE DISCUSSION. If no one cares about what you say then your efforts are in vain, you have to find a way where you can definitely express yourself on the others to notice you.

And if you're still a kiddo and doesn't know where you can get Merits read my tips. Here is the link:

I think you can browse my post history and having an idea by yourself.
My most successful post (you have the link on the signature) is basically a guide in Italian on how to setup a Bitcoin full node plus Lightning Node. Other merited posts are on the Italian board, where I try to comment giving my own original interpretation of Bitcoin environment.
I try also to be active on the international board, just to widen my perspective and trying to have new way to think to old things.

First of all heartily congratulations friend. Sharing your success story in the forum is really much much motivating for other members. Whenever I read any story like this ; it boosts the energy levels.
Achievement of others motivates many people to achieve the goals. The feeling comes from within that when someone other can do why can't I do this?
You are one among early winners. You people playing the role of street light lamps which showing path to the people in the darkness of nights.
Thanks a lot for motivational post friend.

I find your way thinking of merits as a currency for knowledge very interesting!
Also I do like the suggestion about avoiding the mega thread, namely the signature campaign mega thread, where the signal/noise ratio is very low. If people were more focused on learning instead of trying of spamming the forum with signature to earn a fraction of bitcoin...

I am started to get some merits in the recent days than how I was in 2018 but still not enough knowledge to get up to the next rank.Still in the learning process and hopefully will make some useful thread(s) to convince the community people to pour some merit on me. :)

It will take some times to reach at 50 or 100 but later, it will find it so easy. After reaching 50 merits, you will automatically be boosted since by that time, you will learn a lot of thing and know how to get merits, lol.

I fully support the tips from fillippone!

Hooray!!! Today I became a Full Member!

I remember how now ... how much joy the first merit brought me. After all, I registered on the forum less than a year ago (after the introduction of the system of merit), before that I simply read the forum.

Hello everyone,
As everyone here I am trying to understand what market will do in the future.

So I collected a few evidence here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5106432.msg49960305#msg49960305

No TA, only “fundamental analysis”, that , in my opinion, is a strongest driver for the long term.
Because it’s the long term I am interested the most.
I think also this is a good example of a well written post (yes, I am proud of it).

I was just one post shy of reaching Member status and I figured I would probably find something worthy and appropriate to respond to in the Meta boards. It didn't take me long to find the most appropriate thread subject line: Ranking up is Possible!

I would echo all of fillippone's top hints and can personally endorse each one as true and on point. I've reached some of the same conclusions myself, and have voiced some of the same ideas in a few of my own earlier remarks elsewhere.

I will now set my sights on reaching the "Full Member" status - but will get there in my own time and at my own pace... :)

You do not need to spend all day on the forum, surely no one does that, but you can make good use of the little time you spend in here, it's not so difficult to brush up on your post quality, it just requires a little bit of determination.
You can without stress combine real life job with posting on the forum. Just get to know the major area you'll love to contribute on, study more on it and with time you'll earn merits.

Fillippone.

nice!!!

Quoting the whole message to write "nice": not a good idea
1. Integral quotes ruins reading experience for other users, try to quote only the relevant part of the message
2. Writing "nice" or any one word post is quite useless.

You actually just gave me an idea for the 8th bullet point.

Time is a scarce and very precious resource, so right, you should focus on the section you think you can contribute more, even because you know more, or because you like most the topic, and you are on the path to learning about that.

Correct. People have a different strategy for handling their time. Which diverge with the following:

Your purpose. Are you here just for merit? Are you here to acquire knowledge about cryptocurrency? Or you are here because of signature campaigns? Setting on what you want to accomplish will determine how you will handle your time. Make a habit of having a purpose or reason why you are doing such things.

Right way to do it. Even if you have strategies on attaining your goals, if it is the wrong way, you won’t even get to level one. Make sure to take time reading, from what you have read, list down those things that you know will take advantage of your time. As people think or formulate their statement basing on what they have read or they see to other people. Some people may imitate someone and some people will make it a competition to attain their goals.

Have a sense of gratitude. Always think that every day is a blessing to learn new things and to help other people. Even if you have a small number of posts or may seldom post, you can have some impact on other people by just helping them. It may not earn merit, but, the impact on that person will remain and may get back to your post and drop some +m or other people will see it and just drop some +m.

Appraise yourself. Ask: Do I have enough knowledge now? Or has my milestone enough? You need to adjust to what you are looking at the next level of your milestone. Some people may say it worked before, so, I will just use it again, which is a bad habit. If you continue not to innovate yourself, you will end up frustrated or burn out.

Find room to improve. Always have a feeling of excitement on learning new things every day. Do not trap yourself on the unsure aspect of life - Learn.

The above points are just some of my tips, which I have applied to myself. It may work or may not work for other people.

Altcoin is an important part of cryptocurrency, regardless that it is a section that has been affected by scams and failed projects. It's still a worthy topic of discussion, I would not advise anyone to avoid that section, but stick ti what you know.
Do not go around fishing for merits in boards or sections you know little on.

Post by: tbct_mt2 on March 29, 2019, 09:04:42 AM

Let's me tell you my experience with promotion challenges in the forum.
At specific period, and specific rank challenge, user has to face with very different challenges.

For Junior Member rank, the challenge is you don't know what to do, and feel like it is impossible mission.
Lack of knowledge, vague understanding about the structure of forum, rules, guides, and even don't comprehensively understand about merit, merit system and the role of merit in the forum. So, it is always the most difficult to try contributing and earn your first merit.
During those most un-knowledgeable period, even hard-working contributions sometimes likely stupid things, or at worst violate plagiarism.
Most users probably plagiarise to show contributions. When they decide to stop complaining, and show contributions, they switch to plagiarism. Maybe due to their laziness or lack of knowledge on forum rules.

Next rank, Member.
Challenge for the rank probably remains too difficult, and sometimes you might still think it is impossible mission. Regardless the fact that you maybe more familiar with forum structure, rules, boards but the way you read, understand, then express your ideas through writing is still foolish, or vague. No one understand what your wrote, what you want to discuss with, or your posts simply out of context, and no one pay attention on such off-topic posts.
Over time, you will improve better, then move up to Member rank.

Next ranks, Full Member and above.
Yeah, from Full Member and above ranks, the journey for each rank is too distant, but I believe who can move from Member to Full Member will feel happily with their promotions.
In addition, they probably feel their lives in forum turn out to be more comfortable.
Comfortable in so many aspect, such as in the way they find information (by search for available topics, answers, solutions), in the way the read, understand, write to express ideas and contribute to discussion, and - of course - in the way they receive merits.
I believe that from Full Member rank and above, challenges are still challenges, but those challenges are not too hard, or impossible, or put users tired too much. From the rank and above, the matter is just time, and how long they will finish their challenges.

In a summary, I thought you should write your new topic, in which share your tips for the latest promotion.
I might do it when I become a Senior Member, maybe months later.

It isn't recommend for everyone to start a merit giveway thread. You can give smerits to deserving members if you search through other giveway threads or pay close attention to started threads and replies of the targeted range of ranks you intend helping by meriting their quality contributions. Most active meriters don't have giveways threads take beginner and help board as an example.

It is personal approach, but whatever approach will always be good if users finish their purposes well by distributing their sendable merits to deserved threads/ posts. Merit give-away threads have their own advantages due to focusing on narrow range of user ranks or concentrating on specific areas (mining, forum issues, and so on). Of course, such merit give-away threads also have their own disadvantages if they don't have detailed and strict rules for applicants. Because people might do some pseudo-constructive things and apply to steal sendable merits from merit-give-away topics' authors.

It is the same as merit source applications: someone think that they have to be a merit source to have better ability to help forum users (with allocated merits for sources); someone don't care about that, they simply distribute their sendable merits that they get from their contributions.

Generally, it depends on personal perspectives.

Quoting the whole message to answer only a specific part below, or answer a few question all below the quoted text are bad practices. This is something not related to this forum specifically, so you might already know about what I am saying here. If you don't please get used to best quoting practice reading one of the many good guides out there, like this one (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4667594).

I saw many posts where people arguing about that ranking up is so hard after merit implemente. I am not agree with that even I am also a newbie and I found that big members are searching a post to give a merit but they did not find a good post. OP already described many points what you need to do for ranking up. I would like provide you few more points as I think if you follow then you can definitely increase your rank.

1 :- Be honest with forum
2 :- Keep increasing your knowledge
3 :- Improve your writing skills
4 :- Helping other person in the forum
5 :- If possible report useless or meaningless post to the forum moderator
6 :- The most important point is follow all the rules and regulations of the forum.
7 :- Only concern about improving yourself
8 :- Don't waste your time in bounty and make garbage, Offcourse if you can find good deal then you can do but it's shouldn't your priorities.

So I think if you follow all above suggestions then you dont need to worry about ranking up your profile.

You must not follow some other people and where they post. Use this forum for your self benefit like enhancing knowledge in cryptocurrency, do trade if needed. In a nutshell, use the forum for what it has been established. That's what will bring the rank.

As I said, you should consider carefully which topic to work on. You should pick the one you care the most where you are more likely to provide a good contribution to the forum, rather than write on an uninteresting topic just because there are merits floating around.

Exactly recommendation. Each user has to choose the most favorite branch of crypto that is available in the forum to participate. For example, if you are a fan of Rafael Nadal, the King of Clay, you can not have enough understandings about Cristiano Ronaldo to write and discuss about that super soccer star. Therefore, choosing the favorite branch and stick with it first; then over time, if user want to expand to other branches, it's good.

First of all congrats on becoming Sr. Member and congrats in advance for becoming Hero Member
My question is what if I focuses on one thread/topic but didn't get the merits which I deserve (according to my opinion I should get more merit). People appreciate my work but don't give me merit. What I should do now?

Title: Re: Ranking up is Possible! My top 11 Hints!
Post by: fillippone on June 26, 2019, 06:11:17 PM

My suggestion is to stick around, keep posting good stuff and eventually you’ll get the merit you deserve.
Everyone thinks getting fewer merits than deserved, but you have to understand recognition is not for free.
And don’t expect getting merit posting in the alt of bounty section.

Helping other forum users is not a bad thing to do so basically what you have achieved until now is that you deserved it. It will also help other users who are trying to rank up but the post that arr merited will make them think that if they can do it so can I. All we need to set is that we need to be positive thinkers and we can achieved what we wanted to achieved.

Hello guys,
a few days back, while on holiday and travelling away from my usual places, I got my 100th merit!
Allow me to take a little bit of proud on this achievement, and I think this is a success for the merit system, that not only ruined my life because made me think constantly about the forum, but also pushed me to always try to give 100% writing my posts.

Thank you all my dear fellow forumer, and thanks for sending me love (merits) during those months.
I don't consider this a finish line, or a trophy to hang on the wall, but a new start and a new motivation to continue engaging myself in the forum life with continued quality, commitment and effort.
I still have to much to learn, and I will always commit myself to spread what I learn as much as possible.
Merit is knowledge.
Knowledge is Freedom.
Freedom is Bitcoin.

a few days back, while on holiday and travelling away from my usual places, I got my 100th merit!

Correct me if I am wrong, but I remembered that you were a Full Member when I already ranked up to Senior Member rank, then opened my merit give away months ago.
More than 70 sMerits available to give away (high strict rules) [Members only] (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5109876.0)
I quoted your post (in my merit give away thread) that was made on February 20, 2019.

Dumb question: do I qualify for this? Is full member a member?

So, your fastly journey to the 1000th merit extremely surprised me, TBH.
I have only closely reached my 600th.

Congratulations!

However, you can contribute to the forum because you have a vast knowledge and working experience in this area. I will try to improve my knowledge to accompany you.

I think you should be a little bit more humble and discreet IMO, most of your merits come from the Wall Observer thread obviously... ::)
With this kind of topic you are just encouraging people to lazily chat on these threads instead of encouraging them to make higher quality messages in the main parts of the forum(which was the initial goal of the merits AFAIK)

Title: Re: Ranking up is possible!1200 Merits earned in less than 15 months!My 11 Hints!
Post by: fillippone on October 01, 2019, 02:05:31 PM

I accept the suggestion of being more humble.
It’s easy to brag yourself with a lot of hubris when you succeed in hoarding in a lot of merits and topping various merit-related statistics on the forum.
Please allow me to be a little over the lines only in this thread.

Yes, lots of merits come from WO, but I don’t think they are lower quality one.
Also i think I wave enough merits earned on high-quality threads.
Example: last 60ish merits are earned on a long post about futures.
I think that work more than compensate a few merits on train related merits on WO.

EDIT:
Doing some number fuckery with LoyceV data and some manual counting:
At the time of writing:
I have 1233 Merits.
I earned 351 merits in the WO thread.

28,50% of the total merits gained on WO.
So I earned 882 Merits Outside WO thread.
Almost legendary merit-wise outside WO.

Legendary outside WO: challenge accepted.

I guess everyone has his merit- related Stigma:
Legendary outside WO.
Legendary outside Meta.

Wondering how to make everyone happy.
I can't, probably.

If you're truly serious then let's see you become a self made legendary entirely from here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0

I reckon there is somewhere around 1-10 merit available from ALL of the users there. I think you can manage that around the same time the very final satoshis are mined.

I figure he meant adding every where but WO, and not circumscribing to a specific board …
Nevertheless, if @gentlemand’s challenge were to be accepted, this is the historical merit distribution in "Bounties (Altcoins)":

Code:

Year	Month	nTx	nMerits
2019	9	5	8
2019	8	13	27
2019	7	5	14
2019	6	14	28

2019	4	20	30
2019	3	25	215
2019	2	19	60
2019	1	27	49
2018	12	14	24
2018	11	35	78
2018	10	43	48
2018	9	92	169
2018	8	36	59
2018	7	75	315
2018	6	84	168
2018	5	118	395
2018	4	138	382
2018	3	258	537
2018	2	425	930
2018	1	399	1053

More than I expected on aggregate, but clearly in the few dozens at most now. Quite amazing during most of 2018 ...

Just don't let the merits be a competition.... To be a well respected member, a person that nobody dislike of his writings is far more important and yes fillippone gets a lot of merit in the WO, his post are a lot with very good content, there is some humor and when someone is OT he replies to the post with good answers...

But stay a bit humble of-course and not write to much of the merit earning, members will notice this without posting it as well :D

Always know the merit system isn't flawless but was brought with a purpose, to avoid spam etc
For me the every other thread about merit is a bit spam as well all the merit talk from 100 different threads could easily been handled in 3 or 4 threads.

But to many try to start out some to gain some ::)

Its an achievement getting merit fast but the activity is more important and to get Legendary activity give room enough to steadily gain merit so the day of becoming Legendary merit shouldn't be an issue if you post well enough, some times with content outside places like the WO sometimes in places like the WO

But I do know for fillippone he's merits comes from all over the forum places where is interested in of writing at, so stay doing your thing!

Btw not all members can come to the WO community earning merit, you have to build up some credibility there as well, lots of lots try to post there for easy merit and failed trying :D

Understand that your fan based also contribute to some extent. If you're active on a particular section of the forum and have earned what is called merit fan based, they merit your quality posts outside that section too. You can observe these from users that are active on their local boards or other part of the forum like WO, scam accusation board etc. The merit fan based doesn't necessary mean they're practicing favoritism but that's how the human mind subconsciously is programmed.

In the case of @fillippone his fan based from WO who're well informed about his quality contributions can easily merit his other posts irrespective of the section of the forum they're posted at. Nevertheless the main aim of the merit system shouldn't be forgetting and like @micgoossens have just said, lets not make it a competition as currently that's how it's been displayed due to all the stats and ranking analysis.

I am very relaxed at writing. And I tend not to make merits a competition, rather than some sort of "positive feedback" on the things I am writing about.
Take my last post on futures: it has been a very long work, and of course I took pride and made me happy to receive feedback via merits received.
I would have written that post also without merit system, and I will eventually write other posts (like the one on options, when are launched by CME), even if this post had 0 merits. But of course knowing someone appreciate your work it helps.

Regarding merit bragging, self imposed stats, etc. I tend to discuss these only in this particular thread, updating the numbers in the OP. this is like keeping a diary of my incredible voyage here on the forum. Nothing else.

The topic was probably originally intended to be inspirational for newbies, many of whom dropped their hands after the introduction of the merit system. But gradually, all this degenerated into a vanity fair, alas. Congratulations to fillippone on a successful forum career, because there are really good tips here. Whether they give a complete recipe for success, or we see here a clear example of the "survivorship bias" is the question.

Perhaps I have a wrong understanding of what is happening, sorry I did not want to pinch your ego. I have no doubt that you deserve the rank of Hero and even Legendary. But all of your tips individually and together do not guarantee success, they can only protect from making serious mistakes by a beginner.

I see there is no paid signature under your profile, so this can not be solely about the money.
Thread is filled with all sorts of congratulations, but nobody seem to asked you this question, how becoming a legend will benefit you?

The money come with my initial investment and a little bit of stashing sats, not from signature campaigns.
This doesn't mean anything on campaigns per se, I could also join some in the future, but they are not the main reason because I am on the forum. Everyone is free to find their best way to gain sats.

Indirectly maybe, because you are focusing on merits rather than ranking up.
I'm asking this because it feels to me, that legendary members should be a bit more, like... legendary? ::)
In my eyes only a few deserves this status, those who where influential but are no longer with us.
Those who are mentioned a lot but never respond, those who we know that are dead.
If it was up to me, I would prefer to stay a hero. It says something, it implies that I'm still fighting for the adoption, awareness etc.
I do realise I'm talking about semantics, who actually cares what the name of your next, upper rank will be... well I do for example.
How else we gonna honour those, who where here before us?

Sheesh. It's just a forum filled with assholes writing rubbish in the main. I guess we could crowd fund a Bitcointalk Mt Rushmore somewhere cheap and underpopulated like Kamchatka if it's that meaningful.

Many of the previous forum mainstays of the deep past, who might fit that image of battling for our futures with their bare breasts dangling, turned out to be scammers or went nuts anyway just like most who came after.

Arriving earlier or spouting rubbish for longer in no way makes someone somehow more pious.

That's cynical, unfortunately not far from the truth but still.
As the amount of merits gathered by OP shows, a lot of members care for for this place.
Some of us are somewhat concerned with at least some quality, not a mistake to promote such stance.
This mount rushmore you have mentioned is already here, its called ivory tower. No need to build another place, just use that section more, this of course if you are interested in more genuine conversations.
I totally get it that one can become cynical after quite a few years inside a melting pot like this forum is. Yet, it doesn't have to be inescapable view point, right? All I'm suggesting is adding more ethos, more significance by referring ourselves to something bigger then bitcoin itself, the idea of it.

I'm very intrigued as to what the future of this forum will consist of. In a way it becoming irrelevant would be a sign of real success. It's going to be a messy process no matter what.

I lost hope on ranking up since the merit system and was inactive for a long time. I’ve stumbled on this post and it just gave me confidence that I can still do it too. Thank you for boosting my morale.

Gave you 2. You’ll serve as an inspiration and I will follow the steps you just shared.

Merits will never find the way to your account until all your actions are desperately concentrated on getting them.

Members with a lot of experience have a kind of radar for such things and they fill the real intentions from a mile away.

I couldn't get any merits for a very long time until I realized that I am a shitposter and first I have to improve myself and try to give something to the community and not only to keep taking.

Nothing by force, try to be yourself like OP and write honestly, from yourself, and certainly many will appreciate it. A real question and life problems, it works best if you lack technical knowledge.

Never try to pretend to be someone you are not, because as I said many have a natural radar and you will quickly regret it.

Oh Dear,
I really forgot to celebrate my second meritversary?
28 Jun 2018 - 28 Jun 2020.
Two years and 3,500 merits later I still thank you for every single moment, discussion, exchange of idea, lesson and of course merit we had in this forum.
I shall update the op with a few details, but I think my ego is pumped enough for the moment, I will do whenever I will feel down.

Thank you all guys for the support!

Two years and 3500 merits. I do a simple math and you earn 5 merits everyday in average. Such a merit earner.

From my side, I earn 131 merits in the last 120 days. A simple math shows I earn 1 merit every day (a little higher than 1). Your quality is 5 times higher than mine. It is my shame to compare with you.

Congratulations for your second meritversary.

Fillippone, I must admit, I'm a fan of your posts. Even this one has a special quality again. Everyone should take you as a role model who is complaining about the allegedly unfair merit system. You are the best proof that it is possible to reach higher ranks in a releatively short time. Keep up the good work. And of course, I left a few merits for you :)

Well no one can have any complaints about this sort of ego, so take your time ;D. Congratulations fillipponi, IIRC i earned my first merits from you last month (four in total i think) I prolly am not active in the boards you frequent the most, but you are a generous MS i must say and the statistics also proves that and i also rate your posts as HQ. Congrats on your meritversary, 3,500 merits in two years, with your merit ratio, you could really be a MS without actually getting refilled every month ;D.

Obviously.I already took him as my role model.And he is also my recommendation.

Actually at first I was also used to complain merit system unfair.But still now I will tell you that merit system is still now unfair most of the times for newcomers.Because they start their journey in forum by doing hard work and most of the time they don't get proper encourage by others.
Because they have some faults like they don't follow role model members like fillippone and others.
We should encourage them to rank up and to advice properly.

But many high ranked users are working great job by supporting new comers and I want to thank them.

Am dumfounded, you made three(3) legendary accounts and one(1) hero member account? What a superb hero you're indeed. Is life Fair to us or do I say life isn't balance?. These are what many sort after and nothing is forthcoming. I followed your threads sometimes last year but lost the track, hopefully this time i do learn from your post. You have just made an incredible history, as I understand what it takes to make a legendary account on this exalted Bitcoin forum. **Hope in the next world God will make us equal**. Congratulations!. :-*

Balance is not often found because there is very scarce times when we can see two people do same things at the same period and get different results.

Same things are somewhat similar effort levels they put in their works.
Same period means there are nearly same risks and opportunities for them.
If two above are nearly the same but the last one (results) are different, you can say something about fairness, balance of life. If two above are different, very different, no need to say anything for the last one (results).

Quite agree with you submissions, just that, I was emotional about this: few years ago he celebrated somewhat Senior member rank and the next I see him celebrating 2600 merits which translate to - Two legendary accounts rank and one hero member rank in less than a year. I know the impossibility of two identical twins have same results in real life.

I was also a newbie once and I joined this forum only to get knowledge and information related to cryptocurrency. As I started asking question and helping other related to their queries on this forum I one day realized that I was also getting Merits.

I did some checks and found out the importance of Merits for my fellow members. I am happy and thankful to those members who have awarded me Merits. I do not intent to use this forum to earn money but only to gain knowledge.

Because you are growing up like a Super hero when merit receiving is the most competitive.

By the way I already started reading your previous posts as much as I can.Becasue to reach the gole we must follow someone like you.

Anyway truly you had made quality posts and worth receiving merits for. There are only few members who can do that so far in ranking up that easily. I had seen 3k merits usually are legendary. So I guess you will just have to wait ang get a promotion. In no time you will be able to get that legendary rank.

Congratulations on your achievement. Just do no forget to stay the same to always share your ideas and opinions.

I have seen you sharing ideas and help others for quite some time and I also have seen you rank up until now. There's no doubt that you can achieve any rank since you have the ability to do what needs to be done. You sure are willing to do anything just to help anyone without expecting something in return. Congratulations on ranking up, well done motivating others and continue doing what you do best. Ka chow. I haven't congratulate you and this is a bit late I did reply here previously.

Congratulations brother! Indeed it's possible to rank up and be recognized here and kudos to your efforts that you became legendary in 12 months!

You are my inspiration, I too started in June 2018 with few posts and then got much merits after a year of inactivity in a month! But then it reduced, and I got lesser. Probably some of the people who were meriting me put me in ignore/block mode because probably I was active in politics&society section and might have gone against their views. Then so I became inactive there, even though I voice my opinion without fear.

Hopefully, we all learn from you, and from our mistakes and then we all achieve our dreams to set milestones here! Cheers!

Firstly, I am so happy that I was able to reach out to this thread else would have missed so much of motivation for myself. Thank you for creating this topic and sharing your valuable great insights and this is so self-inspiring and read you post twice just could not resist myself after reading once. You have really accomplished many things in this short span of time and making it more challenging for the rest of them.

Hope newbies or initial rank holder do get a chance to visit this thread which can help them how to build and grow their journey on this forum. Though it is very useful for any ranks because not everyone has the same journey but in some of them you get so much inspired that you would like to follow the path or build on those lines.

I agree its all about information, we are all here community,
so giving yourself time before transmitting your thoughts,
to improve quality and get more trust from people around here.
I think that everyone has some piece of value that we can learn each other from.
Still you definitely put too much effort into it to make it to senior member,
so congrats. Its good example that merit works as war designed to improve quality of forum.

First, I noticed your a hero member now so, I'm saying congratulations to you and yes. Your post is much more elaborate and improved. I guess an edited post really points out how a content would have been if it were already a state of the act for you as at a time though, some archeivements won't have been attained for recording yet. The only disadvantage at least, how I view it now that I'm typing is that, you don't get to have a reference copy. Do you? That, I don't know yet.
Having that amount of merits in a year only defines how much work you've put in through that period of time in relative to appreciation and it's quite much. You surely did great and op really points out the possibilities of what one can hope to archive in a year if determined. It helps one to set a target with you as a reference. Great 👍

There are very few bitcointalk forum users capable of reaching the number of merit up to 4K like you. But I am not surprised by your achievement so far because you have knowledge, experience and a strong commitment to make the forum like a storehouse of knowledge. Forum contributor like yourself really deserve that number because you are not only concentrating on local but also global.

As human, we were not created to be highly capable human in all field. But being willing and consistently learning something is what make us more than any other user. I salute you and also envy what you can achieve but right now I am still too far away to say that I too can match your achievement. And now I always to try to do best.

I feel somewhat ashamed and a bit jealous too (frankly) because I lacked something you had, hehe. Though, the way you write your posts makes me feel that you dedicated your soul into those words to make people understand some basic yet necessary things which could help them win in the long run, be it a trading technique or the behavior on the forum. I've written something for you (came from a good soul for a good soul) ;)

From day one, showed max efforts
Putting in his complete soul
Never gave a damn to negativity (pessimism)
Spreading knowledge, his only goal

No begging, no help ever asked
He always gave, became sunshine
Now fold your sleeves, be like him
You gettin' better, that's the only sign

Went ahead always, to conquer
Didn't ever think about a throne
Lives like a king, shares too much love
None other than ours - FILLIPPONE

Hope you liked it. ;)

Everything is possible if you can change your way, every member wants to get lot of merit in the same time to get a higher chance accepted in good campaign. But, before do that you can try in another way to bring something. When I just have 10 merit i think its hard for me to get 1000 merit, but it's wrong. Mostly I get merit from my post when I'm not joining in the campaign, focus to become an active member and join in several discussion and creating a thread. It will better for me to spent time to search a new topic when I don't think about posts count. I remember, Fillipone is one of member who also not using a signature before, he just doing about bringing some good content and educate member here. And see what happen now, he is become one of limited member who accepted in Chipmixer campaign. Good luck for you, and be your self, let merit come to you without asking/thinking member giving you a merit.

Of course, I cheated because I had already reached my current rank before the merit system was implemented on January 24, 2018.

Nonetheless, I recall beginning my participation in the forum, and for a very long time, several months, members did not really respond to my posts or even acknowledge them, but after a while other members get to know you and they start to respond to your posts, as long as you are posting about areas that are of interest to you and to them.

So, if you participate in threads that are interesting to you (and you do not have to start your own thread because there are plenty of threads out there), then the passion or interest that you have is likely to come out through your posts (of course, I am not Italian, so I could possibly be lacking a little bit in levels of passion... .Actually I know that I am, relatively speaking.... ;) #nohomo to all of the passionate italians out there). :D :D :D :D

By the way, I know that fillippone starts a lot of threads, so I am not really bashing the idea of starting threads, because sometimes if you are really putting a topic together in a way that had not seemed to have been done in other threads, then there surely can be some forum value to that, so the overwhelming majority of fillippone's threads do seem to be contributing value rather than merely seeking merits (not that there is anything wrong with attempting to both contribute and seek merits).

So largely what I am trying to say is that I agree with the concept of posting about what you love and without really any greed except for the greed of learning and sharing information, and likely the merits will follow - even though there are going to be times that you might feel that you are posting quality posts, but no one really appreciates the contents of your posts. Don't take it personally, because sometime it just takes time for the recognition of your contributions, and if you are making those contributions out of your own passion to contribute, then you should not really be personally bothered if sometimes you are not receiving very many merits in spite of the efforts that you feel that you are putting into authoring your posts.

--snip--

Merit is literally no big deal if you understand the game of numbers (Mathematics) properly as well as change the way you see the forum. Stop seeing it like this forum has gold and you are the golddigger, and start digging in deeper for the vast and wide amount of knowledge you can gain here.
Two steps to succeed in gaining more and more merits:

Be active, engage in topics you know about and ask questions that you have no knowledge about. Only a genius can ask a lot of questions because of the hunger of knowing more and more about something specific.
Like masulum said, don't think about money and signature campaigns in the beginning, they are the perks that can be enjoyed later on, once you've got enough knowledge to share with others. Your major focus shouldn't be money, but engagement in all sort of topics. Don't worry about post counts until you're posting good or high quality content, nobody's gonna report you and won't even ask you to post with long gaps if you do it like that (however, it becomes a need to post with timegaps as it may be considered spam even if your post justifies the topic, which is why you need to work on gaining merits instead of gaining money). If you don't join a signature, you have the freedom to post wherever you want to, and know as much as you want to about any topic because I've seen people not visiting some interesting topics/threads/sections of this forum just because they're not being paid by their campaign for posting there. Don't restrict yourself until you're wise enough to answer rather than questioning more.

The merit system sounds great if all you want is super nerds and doctorates. However, if you want to expand beyond this group and this culture and get crypto beyond that point. Which I think is something we all strive for. Then perhaps a more nuanced view of establishing value is in order.

That was very impressive OP, Seldom users achieve what you are now and that you should be proud of. There are only few users like you value that much of the forum and this should be inspire us also low rank users to do the same. For now, most of low rank users do not mind on ranking up and are not giving importance of the forum because they are more focus on bounty hunting. As been observed that bitcoin and altcoin discussion had huge spam posts and moderators had already told about this how heavy thier work on moderating in that sections. Hopefully with users sharing achievement would inspire other user to do the same.

The spam is worst in the altcoins board and this is simply because Bounty Managers hardly find time to run through the weekly post history of their participants. The BMs are only interested in meeting up with the quota.

Really? I don't think so.
Bounty managers like Yahoo (whenever he takes a bounty work) and Hhampuz do check the quality rather than just seeing whether the quota has been met or not. While I'm saying these 2 names, by no means am I pointing fingers or questioning any other BMs or their works as I've only observed these 2 managers on a personal level.

Both mention BM were really good and I can't say anything in their professionalism how they handle bounty projects. But, I may add too a new bounty BM that in my opinion consider as one or belong to reputable bounty managers. @CryptopreneurBrainboss had really good work. He just need more experience and more project to handle to get his name like the other mention name of reputable BM above.

Just jumping in to correct you slightly. He certainly didn't mean Hhampuz nor Yahoo when he stated that generalism about BM's and quotas. He mentioned altcoins board and neither Yahoo nor Hhampuz do altcoin bounties, only BTC ones, so they don't fall into that category.

But of those that do fall into altcoin bounties category, there are for sure present, bounty managers that only care about mechanics and quotas and completely disregard the quality.

Read and check my comment very carefully (and yeah, with open eyes of course), I gave those 2 as an example. Mpamaegbu said altcoin board is full of spam, okay I accepted it. But, when he accused all the BMs not focusing on quality and rather quantity (as he didn't add "few" before BMs in his comment), I wanted to chime in and let everyone know that not ^all BMs^ look for quantity alone (and I'm not targeting anyone while responding to this guy's comment). Now, for your general knowledge, I was aware of one of the altcoin campaigns managed by Yahoo named Justdatingcoin, do search for it and you will know. About Hhampuz? Really? He doesn't manage bounties and only manages BTC campaigns alone? You need to scratch your head when you say that comment in front of me. I know each and every manager here very carefully and I know their works too, don't even argue about this thing with me. No offense but you truly don't know what you're talking about. Go and check altcoins board, you'll definitely find a few campaigns by Hhampuz. Maybe not currently active, but not too old to find.

Is there such thing of a third party that would rate the quality of altcoins? That space that is kind of the wild wild west could benefit from a third party. Something that would both encourage quality, and also act to sort out low quality / scams from the projects that have real merit behind them. Maybe that exists. Maybe that is this forum?

Thanks CryptoViking for your ease of understanding of my comment. Stedsm, I also understand your perspective on the issue. However, I was strictly thinking of managers who are only involved in managing bounties. Perhaps I should have used the word "few or some" as prefix to make a case for exceptional bounty managers therein (though I have yet to find any.) Going forward, I don't think anyone will be right to refer to Yahoo or Hhampuz as Bounty Managers (even if they may have managed one or two bounties in the past). Most of us here know them as reputable BTC-paying Signature managers and we can't take that away from them. It didn't even cross my mind that anyone would tag them as BMs.

Now guys, let's move on. There is no point quarrelling over that 👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨

Much appreciated, that was my intention indeed to shed some light and make a distinction between altcoin BM's and reputable BM's as I thought that @Stedsm didn't fully understand what you were aiming at and he thought I didn't understand something he meant hehe

Anyway no harm done, we all had good intentions, just didn't use clear enough phrasing and not enough specific words when expressing our thoughts :D

@Stedsm and I sorted it all out in only 1 PM and we are cool and are aware that nobody had no ill intent :D

Happy Saturday to both of you guys :)

Hehe, I got a message by TryNinja's telegram bot that JayJuanGee posted that I didn't disclaim the #nohomo and so, he presumed that I meant that #withhomo (I believe that he deleted his comment after seeing my response on that #nohomo already given (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5098333.msg55212116#msg55212116)).

Neh, I'm not a homo, man. I'm a father of a lovely daughter, have the love of my life as my wife. ;) This explanation was not meant to be given but became necessary when people point fingers and question our friendship hehe. Don't get offended, I said everything in a peaceful, yet meaningful manner. 8) ;D :D
It's true that I love each and every user here (except scammers, spammers) because they are good human beings, doesn't mean we're all homos haha. ;)

I did post the below message as a kind of light hearted/fun gesture/response, but I pulled it back (deleted it) after I had posted it (maybe within about a minute or two after I had posted it) because I thought that I may have gone a bit too far in my own making light (or funzies) out of the mini-drama situation.

Personally, I don't mind a bit of a back and forth battle of ideas and differences of opinions regarding substantive ideas or even different opinions about the intentions and past practices of other members, here and there. Sometimes we can learn from those kinds of vigorous back and forth battles, but sometimes the tone and the intentions might get lost within the posts, and some members do have more troubles with English, too... or even making sure that they put reasonable disclaimers in their posts from time to time - but the odds are quite high that peeps are going to get misunderstood from time to time when we are dealing with written format (that we might not have if we were meeting at a table at a bar - or maybe the misunderstandings would be different if we were at a bar because we might each be trying to impress/or pick up on the waitress.. and then get in a fight over that).... but in the end, I believe that it is more than o.k. to even vigorously disagree with other members without having to take matters too personally.

Since you did not disclaim any of your clarification comment with "#nohomo", I presume you meant that #withhomo. ;) #nohomo

By the way, to me, having fun with the "#nohomo" disclaimer is not necessarily meant to be taken literally or even necessary to assign genders to it or even taking any kind of position in regards to homosexuality. It is just maybe another way of attempting to light-heartedly say that "I am not getting too emotionally attached to you" in regard to the back and forth (or what I had just said in my post).

After all, we all should have some fun loving moments from time to time, I never needed any explanation from you seriously, I know you didn't mean it. ;)

Achievement. Is considered as the fruit to hard labor. It can speak itself how one was able to manage despite of needs that arises during the making. For me, it will not be easy for OP it was still not easy but manage to get that achievement.

And for this, I would like to congratulate OP, It seems that the description of you as nerd, doctorate and genius fits to describe you.

You too are qualified already to become legendary and just a little approve from the admin then everything will going to change especially on your rank.

HERO member for now Legendary Later! Congratulations!

Being helpful enough to other members by just giving friendly or professional advice, or post something that catches the interest of the community would give us more merits. Quality posts really matter in this forum. At first, I was pissed off with the merit system because I could have been a Hero member by then.

After that, I finally understand why because the forum needs to be cleaned from low quality and spammy posters only just to get that rank. But for me, merit is just a bonus. What really matters for me is that helping others by giving them great advice satisfies me enough. Not in a rush to rank up here. I’m just happy on what I’ve been doing here, to keep contributing quality information and advice to the Bitcointalk community.

Congratulations to you man! You deserve it! Newbies, beginners and inexperienced members are going to learn a lot from this thread alone. Cheers!

Congratulations fillippone on your 5000th merit, I think when you started this thread, it was at 2900 merits (correct me if I'm wrong), that's an added 2100 merits since then, it's a feat that could only have been achieved via "knowledge circulation" as you have rightly put it, don't stop circulating that knowledge through creating informative threads, that helps to keep us abreast with new developments about Bitcoin and it's adoption by institutional Investors.

He also created at least 14 new merit sources.

I think some (new) users are getting the whole purpose of this thread all wrong, your 'goal' should not be to be like filliponne, but rather in developing sufficient Bitcoin and cyrpto knowledge (like he did), cause thats the only reason why filliponne is where he is in the forum at the moment, the 'goal' isn't solely merit earning, but quality forum contributions that will continually earn you merits effortlessly.

Having said that, aspiring to be like filliponne isn't bad at all, but it doesn't just stop in "I'd like to be like you', you'll have to actually work towards it by showing your contributions on the forum are worth the appreciation of others, if you're unwilling to make the required effort or you're are in the network and forum to basically 'get rich quick', then there's no need for all these aspirations, cause they'll sadly not be achieved.

As we can all see, this is what perseverance can do to a certain individual. Regardless of how hard it is to gain merit these days, as long as you are making an effort or finding a way to earn it, you will make it to a higher rank. Lucky are those who were able to reach a high rank before the merit system took place, all they need to do was to increase their activity count and they will soon rank up right away. Those who entered whilst the merit system was already implemented needs to exert more effort and more legitimate and related posts just so they can earn merit, if you are gaining such still, just keep on going, you will soon rank up also.

I think it is good newbies have someone to look up to. Filliponne sets a good model for newcomers, they don't have to see merits as something huge. I have people I study on the forum, how they communicate and their post delivery. This helps guide to differentiate between trash and good material. What I'm concerned about is them ending up as cheap imitation of filliponne and not growing into being the best version of themselves.

Not really likely to happen though (the imitation thingy). There are profiles here that have their own imprint that is not something people can mimic, let alone the time and savoir-faire that they put behind.

Generally speaking though, what one should take away is the characteristics such as perseverance, depth and broadness of the explanations provided by profiles such as the one been deal with here. These being qualities that can be technically mimicked from an abstract point of view, even if on a different scale.

The specific profile style is then like a fingerprint in some instances. Some accounts could open an Alt account, and you’d easily recognize them providing they post in the same manner, because of their style fingerprint. Others, you would not be able to tell apart from a large pool of similar type accounts, being their fingerprint faint.

This is a particularly important point.
Ad @ddmrddmr beautifully explained, not only it would be pretty easy to spot someone trying to imitate the style of somewhere account, but this would be a terrible way to use your own energy and potential.

As I wrote in the OP, this was my path trough the merit system, but I am pretty sure there are many other successful ways to approach it, as it is also I think easily understandable from the most meritwise successful users here on the forum, who I think have pretty distinct ways of approaching it.

So the best thing you can do is find your own ways. It might not the most successful way in the short term, but for sure it’s going to payoff in the long term. And even if it turn out to be a meritwise disaster it will be a personal success. And this is the most important thing.

This is nothing less than great.
Your chronicle is very inspiring, it didn't end there, you also detailed steps for lower ranking members not to only gain merits put to excel in our individual capabilities.
Surely, every low ranking member deserves to read this thread.
I went through your interview, from your responses, you weren't that much technical and not that interested in the money version of the system when you started. This could be seen when you said you weren't involved in any projects. Yet, you soared your way high in the forum.
Now I am confident to call you a bank in the forum.
Congratulations!

I just discovered this thread and it does nothing but motivate me. Yesterday I realized that of the merits I have earned, more than half have been in the last 120 days.

I doubt I'll ever reach half of fillippone's level, who if it weren't for the fact that he registered three years later than LoyceV, would probably be competing with him to be number 1 in terms of merit earned, but I do believe I can do better and better.

After seeing this topic i visited the merit summary of fillippone (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1852120).
https://i.imgur.com/IudqJyN.jpg

I saw the history of his received merit in August. Only on August 3 he did not receive any merit. He has received merit on all other days. That means he is contributing to the forum every day and there are very few contributor like him in the forum. If he earn merit in this way, it will not take much time to surpass LoyceV.

You almost made me choke.
Actually, I have been contributing to this forum for a streak of 44 days, as I have gained daily merits since June 30th. It's the second-longest current streak on the forum, after @Ratimov who si currently 10 days ahead of me at 54.
We are anyway very far from the forum record of 413.
The fact is that you probably put a time offset to your personal Look and Layout Preferences (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2761253;sa=theme=), so you are not seeing the official forum times.
You can find Received Streaks information at @ddmrddmr Merit Dashboard (https://public.tableau.com/views/BitcointalkMeritDashboard/ReceivedMeritStreaks?:language=en-GB&:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link).

I did not know that there is a website for analysis on merit. I just published here what I saw with my black and white eyes. And I was surprised to see so much.
Whatever it is, I am now waiting to see the new record for a streak of 54+ days.

It is great motivation for all the members to see @fillippone growth on the forum and we all can learn a lot from him and implicate those things in our posting styles.But what most of the members see is that he has gained enough merits like on July 24 he posted that he has now received 6000 merits on his profile to look it like even number and now see he is at 6271 merits at this time of writing the post on 19 August which is 26 days ahead he has gained 271 merits.This is really fast and he is one of the top merit gainers.But the main point of concern is that he registered on the forum in 2018 and within 3 years he has reached that levels how? The merits were not airdropped to him or given as gifts but he has gained them with his effective posting skills and becoming an asset to the forum.See his post history and you will find that how much he has contributed to the forum and when you will read his posts you will find in depth knowledge of the threads he has created as he gives all the details related to that information with proofs which are good enough to gain merits.

His forum stats are ofcourse very good if you look aside from merits also and he is being one of the top members of the forum which you can look here:

https://i.ibb.co/yPPvtbr/Screenshot-20210819-121810-01.jpg

But also have a look at his post and you will get idea about the same of his journey:

5 Resources to teach average joe about bitcoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5156874.0) - It has 54-55 merits

Is bitcointalk losing user base (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5349708.msg57479450#msg57479450) - It has 70 merits in @OP post

Lightning Network Observer (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5348270.msg57413086#msg57413086) - It has 59 merits in @OP post

Debunking bitcoin is an environmental disaster (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5325350.msg56613804#msg56613804) - It has 40 merits approximately

Similarly he has made 120 threads with his registration on the bitcointalk in 2018 so you see it might seems that he has gained merits easily but he has worked for it by making effective contributions and being a helping hand for newbies providing useful information on many boards along with local boards.Above these he is top generous merit source on the forum and send many to other members.

We can also reach that level's if we are capable of it but we just need to acquire knowledge for the same and keep contributing in most effective manner which is the only way to gain merits ans the purpose of setting up this system by theymos.So give your time and you will see growth in your rank when you give the forum best you will definitely receive rewards for the same.It is open discussion forum and capable members can reach whatever levels they want.

So look at @fillipppone growth and try to learn from him and implement the same in your posting also.Rest he serves a great motivation for all of us.

The streak will surely be broken so don't worry about it and just keep the good work man :D

This.
And I might not stress enough that you don't have to walk the same path.
I have a true intellectual passion for bitcoin, and a given percentage of my brain is always thinking about it. This is why I am so consistent posting in the forum: It helps me reorganise the idea I constantly bump into.

But the point is: please exchange knowledge. You can learn a lot from the forum, but sooner or later, you'll be able to give back!

This pace can be managed by only such members who have control over the car or in other words who have specified knowledge and dedication and have experience for the same.The newbies trying to gain merits at the same speed without any prior knowledge of bitcoin or crypto market whether technical or non technical would not be able to kickstart the engine also and will lie with other dormant account who are just posting and not gained merits from long time.So just learn and work for it man.A little advice for you.

Well, being passionate about bitcoin definitely helps the cause.
Being passionate about something is key to learn about it and improve your knowledge.
Of course you can learn something you are not passionate about (I learnt latin at school, after all), but soon you will forget that.

Of course, mileage can vary in terms of how much anyone is going to want to send merits for members involved in shitcoins or various scams.. or smoke and mirror projects.. but sure there are members who actually believe in the merits of various shitcoin projects and members will sometimes send merits if a member is able to explain some convoluted bullshit in a way that is a wee bit less convoluted, even if it still hardly makes any sense to some of us.. ..

and considering my own number of smerits sent out would surely be reduced if someone is either posting about shitcoins or has ways of talking about various projects in which s/he does not seem to understand what the fuck is bitcoin.. and the place of their shitcoin in the scheme of things.

I cannot recall coming across a thread that attempts to quantify the merit differences between topics.. but it seems to me that quite a few merit sources do get turned off when shitcoin talk exceeds a certain threshold.. so in that regard, there will be variance between members regarding how much shitcoin talk they are willing to tolerate before becoming uninspired in terms of hitting that send smerit button.

I first knew about Bitcoin before I joined this forum. In fact, I joined this forum because I wanted to know more about bitcoin, although the signature campaigns on this forum also motivated me, but yet I have to go beyond to know more about bitcoin. What I later noticed was that I was becoming better than before, my family and friends see me useful, asking questions about Bitcoin, like questions partaining to transactions and safety, which I have gained a lot from on this forum, members that post these quality posts are completely Bitcoin enthusiasts which you will completely know from the way they post. I later find myself posting more in Bitcoin boards, while altcoin boards is not that useful because what are mostly there are posts about coin pump and speculations. But what I mostly needed are on Bitcoin boards which are full of posts of life experiences, discussions partaining to security, safety and privacy. Even if I have altcoins, what I gained from security, safety and privacy of my Bitcoin on bitcoin boards on this forum is enough for me to perfectly hold altcoins of my choice without no probelm or attack.

Although, it is not necessary to be passionate about Bitcoin, but it really also helped me because Bitcoin has opened my eyes towards a lot I would still have been ignorant to. Also, Bitcoin price pumped, it is deflationary, it is an appreciative asset, yet a store of value even as it is still a speculative asset. If someone is not passionate about Bitcoin in this century, likely the person would have been so old to not knowing what are in vogue because those kind of people will most likely prefer the old ways.

Totally agree with you that if we are passionate about something and are totally dedicated towards it we develop a keen interest in the particular work and start exploring new things related to it which could open many new knowledge doors for us.Like you are learning about programming and watch lessons on Udemy and YouTube and say you have passion to be a developer.Then you will not do the exact same thing as being taught in lectures but will write your own codes to check your ability and will fail many times(expert also makes bug in codes) but with practice you becomes expert in that feild.So you was having extra interest for bitcoin which led you to this forum and you keep learning about it and write posts for the same sharing knowledge with other members on the forum which has in turn accomplished you to reach high rank members list.But we all have inteoin various direction and what matters most is that share and learn on the forum in best manner and treat it as best Bitcoin and crypto related discussion forum.

When i also joined the forum I was not having much information about bitcoin and crypto market but later on when i read all the useful posts made by other members it made me keen to know in detail about how bitcoin actually works.I decided to learn about the same and for that i explored the must read for all newbies who wants to know about bitcoin which is to read Mastering Bitcoin and this helped me a lot to understand the technical parts of bitcoin.Slowly more and more knowledge addition helped me to gain merits also as post quality was improved.So in this way we can continue to learn if not being too passionate.But the main part as said by you is if not passionate then don't be ignorant at all if you are member of the forum.You are also one of the example for other members as you have more than 1400 merits in short span only because you have knowledge to share and ability to learn from others.

As said by @Fillippone exchanging knowledge is most important part of the forum on we all should concentrate.

Well, this is the most important point that forum users should pay attention to.

This forum was created with the aim of hosting more interaction between bitcoin users and exchanging knowledge with each other. There's no way I could have run without starting on a crawl and neither did all the other contributors we know of. We all have to learn and continually improve our knowledge if we want to be useful users and all of that requires sacrifice and consistency in order for us to go through the process properly. If we can go through the process and stages well, then remember the title of this thread: Ranking up is possible! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5098333.0)

When we are passionate about crypto then we should at least join a community like bitcointalk forum for us to increase our knowledge and also be able to help those who are also passionate yet they just started not long ago so, you sre most likely a mentor for those who just started but very passionate or love learning about bitcoin or other cryptocurrency related discussions. You get knowledge and you also share. This is what it is all about in here.

I found some people with too much merits and some are not getting even what's required we should equalise all this stuff.

If there is activity noticed it should be merited if it qualifies certain level. I found some members have more than 500 activity and are newbies which shows something is not working appropriately.

Quality is subjective and what you consider quality may not be what someone else does, also where you make your post influences whether or not it gets merited.
Can you link about 5 of your posts you consider quality? I glanced at your post history but couldn't find any, and cannot check through all the pages.

• There is nothing to equalize, merit is not a social amenity it's a reward for good contribution and not everyone contributes equally.

• Users having more that 500 activities and no merits actually shows the system is functioning as it was meant to, rewarding quality contribution and preventing spammers from ranking up.

Nothing at all. Some users draw out their posts to make them look more thought out, but if it can be expressed in 2 lines, additional lines are unnecessary.

I did a check on his 5 pages post history and found that account is registered back in 2016 but still he manage to get 2 merits on this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5372294.msg58482187#msg58482187) post by @Pmalek because he shared some good points there apart from his regular irrelevant posting.If he is thinking that it's quality posting then he is wrong because he has not shared any good points or helpful which he should also know.

We are not talking about equal rights here or some sort of real life inequality but the merit system was established to promote healthy and effective contributions on the forum but if you say quality poster and shit poster should be given merits equally then you are wrong here also as this was not the aim of implementing the system.Those who are getting merits have shared some good stuff and lead a healthy conversation among memebers.I have reached legendary rank from senior member although it took me a while but still i manage to reach but if i also thought the same i would be still at the same levels.There is no favourism on forum and you just contribute best out of you and rest merits will be delivered to you by members.

You are right merit are not delivered based on the length of paragraphs but the information you are sharing with others and how useful it is and it could be one to two lines or full long paragraphs.You have received 2 merits on your post which is just 3-4 lines but your other 2 lines post are not at all justified for merit and you can have a look at other post to make comparison.

Read the @OP post and you will find out how he managed to reach that levels within that time period and you will come to know exchange of knowledge and his efforts towards forum.The merit system will promote you to increase your knowledge and enhance your posting skills so it's better to be part of it happily.

You just explained the work of teachers and professors and how useless it is if you think about. A teacher explains the same things every year until it's time to retire because every year he/she gets new pupils. The teacher doesn't say I have already spoken about that in the last 25 years, but does it over and over again. I understand that it's hard to find new and unique things to discuss, but you can try. Even though the basics have been explained numerous times, you still have people who lose their seeds, don't know how to create a wallet, or download fake phishing software. Learn how to do it properly and point out the mistakes they are making.

Sorry, but I disagree. I remember you from Ratimov's Help newbies and those who have a little left to the next rank (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5275032.msg58483329#msg58483329) thread where you applied to have your post checked. I told you there that it's full of one and two-liners without much effort shown. I did find one post that I merited that had some interesting ideas. Hopefully you can start writing some more.

There are members who have over 1000 activity points without merits as well. Why? Because all they do is bounty hunting, posting social media reports, and spamming the forum. The system works just fine. They aren't improving the forum quality in any way and they are not getting any merits because of that.

Quote from: dvndr007 on November 23, 2021, 05:04:27 PM

I found some people with too much merits and some are not getting even what's required we should equalise all this stuff.

You have equal opportunities as those people to get merited, and that's the only thing that matters. Everything else depends on the efforts you put in.

Quote from: dvndr007 on November 23, 2021, 05:04:27 PM

If there is activity noticed it should be merited if it qualifies certain level. I found some members have more than 500 activity and are newbies which shows something is not working appropriately.

Quote from: dvndr007 on November 23, 2021, 05:04:27 PM

BTW Your writing skills are impressive and I like the way OP is created.

Aha, having just checked the history of his "quality" posts, suddenly plagiarism is found quite a by accident. He stole the post, without providing links, and you can see that many do not agree with his copied text.
But according to the newbie, he is going to equalize the injustice, because he creates quality posts.
Let's see how he gets back to the tutorial topic he created. He still has a chance in the future to equalize and compete for the quality of posts, if he is not banned forever.

It's also strange that account registered back in 2016 who says merit system does not give equal opportunities to all is not familiar with the forum rules and have not added the source link to the post he has copied.When I was looking at his post history I saw this post and thought what might be his intentions to create a thread sharing the information about the basic terms only and now you pointed out it was copied.

The best is many members are congratulating him for his journey and receiving enough merits till now and all that stuff and it's all good but most of them are ignoring what he has shared in his @OP thread which explains his journey on the forum from 2018 to 2021 july when this post was last edited.He has given so many tips that we all can take advantage of and convert them it into our opportunity to gain some additional merits but we ignore the main part which can help us to reach high levels on forum.

Read his post history and you all will find it was fast but it was all deserving depending on the quality of post he has delivered and it's not easy to cross 7000 merit mark on forum in 3 years when many are struggling to rise so seek some from him and i personally have given attention to his posting styles and learn some knowledgeable stuff from his post that has also helped me lot.This is the best way to rank up by learning and exchanging knowledge.Best wishes to all low rank members.

Often the success of raising forum user rank will be the best motivator for other users trying to do the same, and this has happened to me.

Being a useful user on this forum is a choice so it must be driven by will, motivation, and consistency, all of which will greatly affect the achievement of the target we want. I believe every individual has the potential to do their best, but when the main goal is to make money then this will definitely prevent them from developing better. I know, building a good account reputation may not be as easy as we say, but we have to work hard to really care about the rule and also the best post quality as expected.

It doesn't matter. The important thing is that these figures can be earned in a year. By the way, the third example on the forum that can earn the same amount in 12 months is the n0nce (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3373858).

It seems we have a three kings here in forum in terms of earning merits within 12 months. N0nce , Ratimov and fillippone your the best bro's, earning 2k to 3k merits in a year is very hard to earn but the three of you will reach even more in the future. Your contributions are made some user here more knowledgeable a big thanks to you.

I would say this is community based forum not some old school where you need to be punctual as you could post anytime you wish to do so or learn about various things through useful threads at any time you feel comfortable to do so.

Yes time is not factor which will determine how many merits you will earn over the forum but your knowledge will definitely have the impact over it as it's the only way you will be writing quality posts and getting merits as reward from them.The both names you are talking about like @fillippone and @Ratimov have registered over the forum few years back only and have paved their way to the forum in best campaign like ChipMixer but it has become possible only due to their effective contributions on the forum and useful threads like this.They are among top 10 merit earners on the forum which is great thing.

Quote from: Coyster on April 08, 2022, 09:58:06 AM

Yes you can be a newbie over the forum but might have in depth knowledge about bitcoin like technical and non technical both and share your knowledge and experience with others here which can help you to gain merits.The perfect example of this is Discovery of the year @n0nce (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3373858) who is full member with 1880 merits at current and he had registered previous year only.So knowledge has no barrier and he has proven it.So the best is to focus on increasing your knowledge first and learn regularly new aspects of bitcoin to help others.

Quote from: Coyster on April 08, 2022, 09:58:06 AM

The more you know about Bitcoin and the forum, the more it becomes easier to earn merits; it is very obvious fillippone is very knowledgeable about both.

Undoubtedly he has given very detailed threads about various bitcoin related concepts and have good knowledge about it which is why he has ranked up on forum so fast.I have commented previously on this thread also you might be looking at his merit speed and journey but see he also has acquired and exchange lot of useful information over these years which has made this possible.So ranking up possible but with knowledge.

At the time of this post, you were at the rank of senior member but now you have elevated to legendary member. That's what consistent posting good post does.
Thanks for letting us know the step to follow to increase our merits counts. I will put mine into practice

"2900 Merits earned in less than 12 months!" - certainly an impressive result, seeing which want to repeat. Okay, I won't lie. :) If not repeated with ~3k merits, then at least with a small part of this it is quite possible. Undoubtedly, fillippone's journey motivates and I want to ask myself the question "why can't I repeat this?".

Of course, especially if they really want to be knowledgeable users and make this forum a good place to start their crypto journey.

Honestly I'm not too sure how I can be useful in the long term in this forum especially about quality posts, contributions and other things that support the existing system to be better. But when we have a good cause in the long term, then the convenience of interacting with fellow contributors and other users who need help will make us excited to keep this contribution.

I have a free job ^{[spam buster & cheater hunter sometimes]} just to contribute positively to forum although I get intimidation sometimes because of it, but in the end it's something that has pushed me to stay motivated to be better ever since.

This is my first time on this thread, and after I read your achievements, I was all "wow" and wanted to leave cus I felt the post was too long to read, but then, I changed my mind, relaxed and read everything, now, I realized how stupid my decision not to read all would have been.
I've not only learnt, am also very motivated right now, and am saving this as my "go to" thread for anytime I need to remind myself how to make a good post.

This is a great thread. I have seen the title several times and o thought it was it was a thread that was praising members. But I can boldly say that what is in side the thread is more than what the title said.
If it is possible this post can be pinned for everyone to read, especially new people.
I have been having this trouble inside me to give a correct definition of a quality post but was finding it difficult. But as I was reading the OP I saw a perfect definition of a quality post. This is it below;

Quote

It’s all about the knowledge. Try to think about merits as a knowledge exchange: you give merit when you learn something new, you get merit when you teach something new, or you make other people think about something old in a new way

From the above, we can say that a quality post is a post that teaches someone a new thing or a post that makes people think about old things in a new way.

You were at the success for attaining the "Sr. Member" rank when you created this thread and i ive seen alot of achievements that has attributed to this between 2018 that you joined the forum to 2019 that you became a Sr. Member, same applies from 2019 till date, i really appreciate that your standard is never compromised in your daily commitment to the forum, research and findings with quality posts, I can't but mention few, it a rare case you will come across a member that is not familiar with your username or being blessed by your post both on English and local board.

Achieving 8k+ merits couldn't have come ordinarily without a demanding sacrifice in which you have made through thin and thick of busy schedules, this is an encouragement for we the upcoming members (low rank) to sit and build ourselves on a reputable manner through relentless efforts, showing commitment and trust. @fillipone you're a good example to the community of bitcointalk forum.

This is actually unbelievable, and I must say I recommend your passíon and zeal because you are now a case study which virtually all Newbies, Jr. Members and anyone striving to suçceed on this forum really needs to come learn how you were able to achieve this in just a period of 12 months. I'm just wondering how you must have felt haven achieved such a great milestone for such a short period of time. Happy, right??
Thou, actually it's worth the price because I always think this merit of a thing is one big thing very difficult to achieve, not knowing with hard work, determination, and dedication, it's actually possible to even get around 2900 merits in 12 months.
I always think when you post a thread that there is always at least 3 to 5 merits awaiting your post each day not until I made my first post, second and third, and got no merit, and then I knew merit was actually an exchange for value-added to the forum.

You are pretty close to 10,000 merits, that is wonderful and impressive to say the least. There might not be another rank after legendary, but just accruing this amount of merits is worthy of admiration and the community really appreciates what users like yourself have done to get here and hence you deserve as much recognition as is possible. As for the race to 10k merits, from the looks of things you'll prolly be the third user to get there (as two other users have already achieved that feat) which is great, well done mate.

It's possible as you as said but you should take note that everyone aren't the same in the sense that with the way in which you can do bellow

1.How you do your own research
2.how you arrange your topics.( Write up)
3.Your experience in the crypto space differs( someone cannot give what he doesn't have).
So all this things also contribute to your success which some people lack.

It's possible as you as said, but you should take note that everyone aren't the same in the sense that with the way in which you can do bellow

1.How you do your own research
2.how you arrange your topics.( Write up)
3.Your experience in the crypto space differs( someone cannot give what he doesn't have).
So all this things also contribute to your success which some people lack.

I personally know more people more knowledgeable than me that don’t write on this forum or people that write (about bitcoin) better than me or can explain (bitcoin) better who don’t write on this forum or have little interest.

This is the way it has worked for me, but everyone has to follow their path, as I said many times.
I want to inspire people, not indoctrinate them!

Actually It's inspiring to me as a beginner to seeing and to emulate such an amazing success story like this,
It shows that consistency, focus and putting hardwork in whatever you do has good rewards in the end.
Congratulations for having to come this far it really incredible.

Thank you to everyone who supported me in this journey!

And it seems you have already taken the hyperloop for the merit stations as you have already earned 205 merits within 18 days of this particular post.So congratulations on heading forward and when you are doing it passionately all will support you in this journey.

To all getting inspired from his journey it's good that you also want to have a zeal to grow in the forum but keep in mind you could get merit fast or slow but you didn't want to slow down your pace of contribution.This requires lot of efforts and as you can see he is dedicated and have shared lot of information with his detailed thread on the forum which has made it possible for him to rank up fast on the forum.

You all need to learn and give your contributions to the forum exchanging knowledge while merits will automatically come to you if you are on the right track so you can learn from him definitely how to pave your ways on the forum.Best wishes to all the members.

fillippone is already in the TOP-3 of the most merited users. Does this surprise anyone? Of course not. Everything is just and deserved. I have little doubt that very soon, maybe even this year, fillippone will take 1st place in this table: https://bpip.org/Report?r=earnedmerit

I think, on this occasion, we can expect a new topic in this section called: 10 000 merits. My 11 Hints!. Well, or something like that. :D

What he has done is fascinating and TBH I was first motivated to increase my activity in the forum a few months ago by seeing this post. I think for the first time I read an OP that big(usually I avoided long posts if it's not educational that I am not familiar with) with full attention because I find it somehow more interesting than others. But I have to say the way he manages his post and arranges info in such an order that I need more time to learn to create something like it.

Wow, will it be possible for me to get to this level? I don't think I may. Ranking up to this level is a far journey to accomplish. A day begins a story though, let me see how far I can make it in this forum.
Truly, you are a guru of merit. Keep earning more merits to your name. Thumbs up

Yes. And I also came to understand that those who came today can pass those who were in the forum for years. There is nothing like first come first rank up. Someone registered since 2018 and still a newbie or member while someone came today and within 4 to 5 months the user is a hero member. All based on one's activeness, contributing to knowledge, educative.

I really appreciate Fillippone for his educative threads. God bless you Sir.

We have both examples daily. We continuously see new members coming to the forum and starting to contribute in their unique ways. As we see many others coming, posting a few messages and then disappearing. Others even come only to spam.
The possibilities are endless: the choice is yours.

This is open discussion forum where you might be a newbie when you registered on the forum and that's the title you have based on your activity, posts and merits but if we see it other way a person might be newbie on the forum but have far more knowledge than some legendary members who have this rank before the launch of merit system.

But if we see like you said newbies can surpass high rank members then there are many examples in the recent times where some users have gained merits very fast with their effective contributions to the forum and best example for it is @n0nce as you see he registered on 16^th Aug 2021 or say 292 days before but he has gained 2432 merits at the time of writing up this post and selected in ChipMixer campaign which is great achievement.So the knowledge is the only thing that will help you to attain everything on the forum and IRL but if you focus on it and are dedicated enough to learn about it.

Speaking for myself then after I started learning and giving my more attention to the bitcoin my posting improved as it was reflected through post quality and then you receive merits also as you are getting but Just be on path of learning and sharing on the forum.

Quote from: fillippone on June 03, 2022, 09:56:50 PM

The first category of the members learn through various post like this one of yours and have learning ability which helps them to rise on the forum and enhance their knowledge

The second category is just here for earning purposes asking for how to get merits,rank up just to join any campaign but ends up getting nothing because they are not ready to learn at all and hence when they don't get it they leave the forum as it's not fulfilling their sole purpose of earning and it's good because they were not useful in any case to forum.

But if you are having that leaning ability and are dedicated you can achieve it and you are perfect example for it.

Ranking up is Possible!

You know when it comes to the ranking up pipeline, two things comes to play here and that is, the acquired activities and merits. Hwne it comes to activities, an earlier and active member might be of advantage but, its not the same when it comes to merit. Merit stands to distinguish that user would is actually not just being active but making a mark on the forum and you can be sure, he or she would rank up before the other user whom is just gallivanting the sqaures of the forum.

Take a tour into the bounty section of the forum and you would see a lot of them. With a registration date that goes back as far as 2014, with an activity to show for it but no actual achievement as per day rank nor mark on the forum.

Placing myself as an scale, I must say I have attained growth in a very short time, sequel to my first start on the forum. I practically left at a time, only to return and tried being focused and the growth came. All that counts towards how you take the forum and yeah, have been favoured by Fillippone too for my translation of one of his many useful threads. It's an avenue to impact and learn, let's do both.

That will really be good not just for your ego pump but also as a reminder of how active and involving your knowledge bank have being increasing, i have been a student of this school of thought and i have recycled this steps and indeed have achieved similar results even though i have not reached 2900 merits within my 12 months but am close to achieving something close to that and am much excited. With less than 40 days to my 12 months in this forum i have learn alot from studying and applying the guidelines shared on this thread.

I always like to have statistical comparison that helps us to evaluate the situation in more detailed way.Like we all see this thread about his growth but see how much he has grown on the forum within short span of time and still growing and that's only with his dedication and zeal to share his bitcoin and other crypto related knowledge with us.

On 15^th April he attained 9000 merits and as of now he is at 9619 merits which means he has gained 619 merits in only 54 days which is surprising because you can be Hero member from scratch and will only be lagging activity for the same so he is good at this and well deserved to him.

But i have said previously also we need to focus on how this is possible? Go through his post history and you will find out long threads explaining about bitcoin and other economical aspects related to it helping members on the forum which is why he has merits on his profile.I would say it's possible not easy as you have to be dedicated and spend your time enhancing your knowledge over these topics and then make your contributions to it.

Although we all have different ways and you could have slow growth in comparison to him but you should not loose hope and continue your way but it must be productive and effective for the forum as well as you that will help you to grow on the forum with merits on your profile.So keep your work high and hopes less and results would come eventually to you.

Different ways are the key. You don't have to walk in my footsteps (something I can't particularity suggest for you) if you aren't keen on working on knowledge.
If you look closely at my history anyway you'ìll find that I spent many months on the forum almost inactive. Only later, once I found the way to contribute to the community, did that meriting start happening.

Maybe you could suggest to new users about your research methods. How do you gather information and where to look for it. I have seen many news users try to contribute to this community and they just wasting their time on old things which have already been shared or discussed a lot of times. They are just stuck with a blank mind because they do not know what they should be looking for or where they will get something unique that could be shared.

This is very much relieving for me reading. Cause for users like me that had/have a poor background about cryptocurrency trading even before I was first introduced to this forum, contributing in threads that discuss about Bitcoin was and still somehow very alien to me that I feel lost and incompatible to Bitcoin related threads atimes and this has made almost all my post focusing only on societal related matters.

I recently started giving myself to reading articles that talks about Cryptocurrency and its been very helpful, so I believe with time I can greatly contribute like everyone here in the forum too both with threads and comments.

I'm a fan of excellence and I must tell you, you have demonstrated high level of excellency so far in this forum. It's quite phenomenal how you attain such feats in a record time, but much more important how you were able to keep records of your progress. I knew about Bitcointalk since 2018 but didn't join until late last year. I stayed away for nearly 5 months before becoming active again. So, I can say I've only been 2 months active in this forum.

So far, I have achieved Member status and moving gradually towards Full Membership. Now, reading this will further fuel my desire to be excellent just like you and other great members.

I Learned these Key Points on how to be Excellent

1. Find a good social environment of which I believe this forum is a great social environment for all Crypto enthusiasts and beyond. Belonging in this forum provides you with enough comfort, respect and time to develop your talents.

2. Distribute your time judiciously by being active here and helping other in the best possible ways you can, while learning and growing.

3. Acquire an education that suits you. Choose the category that suits you most and try to be active there. It's better than trying to be everywhere at the same time.

4. Develop your creativity. There's no better way to develop your creativity than being very engaging. Staying on the fence won't help you grow.

5. Contemplate your work. Take a break from time to time to evaluate your work just as @phillippone has done with this thread.

By putting all these in place, we too may attain similar growth.

Thank you for sharing this great piece and we look forward to learning more and more from you.

Exactly we all develop our ways of ranking on the forum and making our contribution the way we like and have knowledge from time to time.You have created the thread to motivate the members how they can rank up on the forum but not exactly the way you have done it.The most important part is you make effective contributions to the forum by making useful threads, writing quality posts and having knowledge by reading good threads on the forum.

Speaking about merits then you are right on the part that there could be instant rally or slow growth over time and in my case also there was long delay in ranking up as was not having adequate knowledge till then but once I started learning new things and focus on improving my posting style the merits were given but there are some members who loose hope fast when they don't get merits but they need to realise with time they can achieve it and this thread don't focus on copying you style but just take an inspiration from it to continue their forum journey.

Your have been on the forum from 2018 but you was part of the bounty campaigns only and you recent posts also shows that which are not way to rank up on the forum but only a way to earn some useless tokens.You are now moving towards general discussion on the forum but ask yourself will you stick to it or continue your bounty campaign?

Your have received only 1 merit on this post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5024878.msg45640064#msg45640064) and that also back in 2018 so was it so tough to gain more in 4 years time period? The forum journey is entirely different if you ask and @fillippone has worked lot on achieving what he has shared with you guys and if you seriously are motivated through his post then try having look on his other posts as well and researching more about useful topics on forum to make some good post other than bounty reports only.

Maybe out of 100 of your post 90 % of that is from bounty campaigns, did you make a good quality post in this forum that can contribute to other users?

Although I might not be a good student or follower but Fillippone have been a very good teacher. Your threads on the adoption of Bitcoin by nations have exposed me to foundational economic strategies that should be in place to make Bitcoin productive in countries. You linked us up to the Italian podcast team that kept on revealing some hidden facts about the Bitcoin space. The Bitcoin Conference is a memorable one because of your thread. Congratulations for this uncommon feat and I am sure you deserve more because of your diligence, selflessness and liberality.

Thank you all for the kind words.
Of course I am still committed to the merit race. And of course the only target is the number 1 in the chart.
Still, I can’t figure how, but I will try my best.

This is massive. 10,000merits. I read the first page and I want to ask, now that you are at 10000merits are there new suggestions to share on how improve your chances of writing good posts, and then getting merits? or they are still pretty much the same.

Do you want to become the most merited users and the most earned merit? or you want both of them? ;)

https://i.im.ge/2022/07/16/FXZiAT.png

https://i.im.ge/2022/07/16/FXZ0Hc.png

You're already on the third position of both position, you need another 1263 merit to beat o_e_l_e_o and 1454 merit to beat LoyceV in terms the most merited users, or another 454 merit to beat LoyceV and 1162 to beat o_e_l_e_o in terms the most earned merit.

According to BPIP about these 3 both users merited stats:
o_e_l_e_o (https://bpip.org/Profile?p=o_e_l_e_o) got 2062 merit in the last 120 days
LoyceV (https://bpip.org/Profile?p=LoyceV) got 1068 merit in the last 120 days
fillippone (https://bpip.org/Profile?p=fillippone) got 1408 merit in the last 120 days

Based on this, I think it's quite possible to beat LoyceV in the long run since you've earn more merit than him in the last 120 days.

P.S. to LoyceV: beware someone might taken your current position :P

Fillippone is so good that sometimes I imagine if really he is a human, he's so good that each time I go through his write up I gain new things about bitcoin which I never knew about . I so much fancy his intelligence in every of his write up I have gone through, congratulations Fillippone you deserve a greater height.

Without any new tricks and of course this can be done by someone else. But it takes extensive knowledge to be able to do it.
You can be ranked 3rd as a member with the most merits and you are also a Merit Source who has sent more than 25,752 Merits to members who do have quality posts.

Can't imagine, how you can be in the position you are now, it takes a struggle for everything you do.

My thoughts may not be able to be like you, at this time even my sMerit is ZERO ( 0 ) and can't share with members who are qualified in my opinion.

Congratulations Fillipone, you are indeed the best, besides you are good at making pizza🍕 you are also good at giving and collecting merits to reach 10,000 Merits in 2022. The next target may be 50,000 Merits.

Wow 10, 000 merits, At 1498 activity it means you average 6+ merits on every of your post activity. That is one wholesome feat but for a person of your calibre, It might seems ordinary. Understanding the forum and gaining cryptocurrency knowledge has become a little bit easier with your contributions. Thank you for all you do and thousands more of merits to come

Frankly speaking, he's incredible and a motivational writter that's is full wisdom and great experience not only about Bitcoin and its related things but also in many areas while looking at his Threads/post. The very first time I came across this post by then I was either a Jr.member, So I first all went through his profile to examine his thread and post in order to get a graps of how he actually made it this far , indeed it was really amazing to me looking at the year (February 18, 2018) when he joined the forum and compare it with other people in his level , I saw a tremendous success and consistency from the beginning till now.

To be honest after that, I did realized that I need to step up my games and emulate the success of someone like fillippone and he's a model to me, Literally that have really helped me got me ranked up to full member and I will continue to learn from him and every other notable successful members of the forum( Educational writer) to improve myself and equally give my best to the forum.

Yeah the trick is simple that you share something useful or exchange knowledge with others on the forum and you will get results in form of merits but the thing is this ranking up pipeline maybe different for all of us like some may climb it fast or some little slow but growing up is the main part on which we should focus.

In the beginning I was also not getting merits because was not enough passionate and dedicated to learn about bitcoin but once I decided to learn, it reflected in my posts quality and merits on my profile and then there was no looking back.So just be patient and exchange knowledge on the forum and this thread serves as a motivation to all to rank up on forum.

Quote from: Franctoshi on July 19, 2022, 08:58:33 AM

So you have managed to make good progress as you are full member within four months on the forum while some members are here for long and it's hard for them to earn even a single merit so best wishes to you for it.

I also advise members to read @fillippone's post to take some knowledge from his extensive guides apart from this one also to acquire knowledge about bitcoin stuff and rank up on the forum but knowledge is the key success for it.

Also don't forget that getting merit is difficult, but keeping getting merit is even more difficult: keeping an high standard is fundamental.
And I also think I am struggling at times to keep my standard: good posting is a time intensive activity!

Honestly in my own perspectives as well everything we achieve here in forum is from our knowledge because what I observed many user here in forum who is knowledgeable they are also in top most recognize, and top merit earners. If a user focus on learning and also share his/her knowledge to us then thousands of merits will achieve.

You have created time to research, work hard to earn this, lot of experience you have pass through at the cause of the journey, i wonder if you could remember your first expression of joy the first time you had your first merit as a newbie, when you also got your 100 merits as full member and the subsequent merits on each rank, honestly am touched by this as well, you could have pass through many forum challenges but yet you remain commited in giving out the best, another thing i like about the forum is that no one is allowed to rank up being a spammer or shitposter which is justifiable enough not to talk of getting to this far, your good works and sacrifices made brought you this achievement which is now what everyone sees as a success, Congratulations!

Such an incredible achievement I couldn’t even tough to be possible only a few years ago.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this!

Before I could notice this more 60 merits have added to it. Congratulations fillippone. All I can say is that it is not easy, from any angle you look at it from, it is not easy. Ranking up is possible, but having stacks of thousands of merits is something that is near impossible for some people. When we come to this understanding, we have peace of mind. My merit is about 50 above my activity, which isn't bad. I am trying my best, but assuming I would turn out to be someone like fillippone in the future, I should have 500+ merits by now. I am happy with my progress, but in order to be kind and honest to myself, I do not possess the super power of the kinds of fillippone, LoyceV, o_e_l_e_o, Ratimov etc.

Right keeping up the merit pace is much difficult then we expect because we have to contribute more effectively and make more useful and detailed posts which is time consuming process.

The one step ahead is merit sprees for some days which some members have managed to do so including you which clearly reflects that our posts are helpful to members.But yes we should keep our contributions high and be dedicated if we want to grow up on the forum.

He has created this thread with the intention of helping newbies and make clear to all that if he can do so you all can but the thing is you also need to be dedicated about learning and evolving on the forum and it's great if you are getting something useful from it but the problem is many don't apply it and keep the same spam posting on the forum but it doesn't do any good.If you really want to grow then check his other posts as well as many other useful guides available on the forum.

When this thread was created back in 2019 he has earned 2900 merits and now if we look he has already crossed the 10k merit mark.So if we look at this case statistically then he has earned 7116 merits till now in span of 1286 days or 3 years and six months so this is great achievement for him.

I have said earlier also you must look at his growth but must also focus on how he has achieved this and knowledge is key to success.

Was in this forum almost same time with you but all I came for then was for bounty hunting earn and go.

If the position you are talking about is on merit, then there are a few members that are in the same 'merit club' with fillipone, though just two members have collected a higher number of merits than him, needless to say that it can only be but a few members in this position, as the exploit is a wonderful one that needs passionate commitment to bitcoin and this forum, and not too many people can have that, and even if a few others are that committed, they are still behind and they will need to stay committed for more years to eventually achieve it.

There are two members @o_e_l_e_o and @LoyceV who are ahead of him with 1353 and 1394 respectively at the current but there is an interesting thing about them like when Merit system was introduced @LoyceV was airdropped with 1000 merits , @o_e_l_e_o with 100 merits while @fillippone has earned all of them which is 10437 at this time which is amazing.

So you see when this thread was created he has 2900 merits and now he has reached the score of 10437 earning 7537 merits till date and all this happened due to his effective contributions on the forum and lot of detailed thread and you must be aware that he is among top generous merit sources (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4523027.520) also so his active participation is dual sided.

Have not gone through your post history but you have earned 20 merits in the past 120 days and sent out 2 which is good and congratulations on your rank up so see you will see the results once you choose the right path of learning on the forum and make healthy discussion.You just need to be useful or even learn from others by reading and exploring the threads, asking your doubts and slowly you will be among high rank members on the forum.

Please sir i mean no offenses. I have read just a post above and other places how you are the best in pizza making, do you have a club and or a training center where i can become the best in pizza making in my locality?
I love consuming Pizza and Shawarma and also dreaming to become the best since is commonly among Children and Adult consuming both mostly in my City.
I would be glad to join your class to become the best.

Always busy on different forum aspects like creating long and detailed threads for helping out members, taking part in competition and discussion on forum is really tiring job and needs lot of efforts and our man is perfect in this task.

This is why we see how he managed to get 413 global streak and if not busy IRL task then he would definitely make more achievements on the forum.

For merit notification it's really a pleasure when you see having merits on your post and especially when it's @DdmrDdmr merit spree on your account ;D

So you're a merit magnet, a pizza chef and a competition-level meat eater! ;D

Yummy...

One steak per day for a year and almost another quarter year straight... Sounds good to me.

It seem to me that the use of the term steak, without a qualifier, would refer to beef steaks. Other kinds of steaks would need a qualifier or context for discussion in order to clarify if the reference was to some other kind of steak (presumably involving a slab of meat in the real world rather than in the world of ideas).

It seems that we're going to lose our welcome in this thread if we continue to deviate too far from the topic or get into off-topicness too much.. .. because the topic of steak ONLY ended up coming up because of an apparent typo that fillippone had made - even though maybe he was thinking about food when he made such seeming Freudian slip.. since merits and food might be a similar kind of thing within the mindset of some peeps (no names here)... even though meta food versus real world food can sometimes overlap and some folks will even end up nutritionally depriving themselves in the real world or even having wrong ideas about food because they spend so much time in the metaverse, and not even going to accuse fillippone of crossing into those kinds of imbalances - even though something like his location identifying skills do seem to overlap the meta and physical world while at the same time defying belief that he would even need steak - since bots do not need to eat actual food, as far as my bot-knowledge goes (and not that I personally know any bots, either.. mums the word).

I was suspecting this but I wasn't sure, since you are quite good at cocking (rolling eyes to the pizza emoji) ;)
Speaking about Vitalik and the latest photo of him, (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FbcDYjyXoAQTHcG?format=jpg&name=medium) I suggest they change the " Proof of Steak" to "Proof of Stick" or "Proof of Prick" intentionally avoiding the D word.

Now, I started to believe that it is Proof of Steak instead of Proof Of Stake which in my own opinion is that it will be very useful in every market and I also think that the demand of Charcoal coin will also increase, Do you guys know where I could buy more of Charcoal coin to hold ( I really need more and I think of it as an investment of some sort). I thought it was Proof Of Steal for a moment there but I was wrong that it isn't Proof Of Steal being discussed, MY BAD.

I absolutely agree with this. fillip is a great person with vast knowledge in different things you can see in this forum and you can definitely see the results and yet fillip is so very busy doing all different things and many people call his pone asking for help or some people just call him to admire his works and I think that's the reason why it brings more work to be done and what really happened in within less than 12 months to fllippone.

Of all the qualities I could attribute (pun) to Vitalik, that one is particularly unexpected to me. Maybe it was caused by something not in the picture.

Uh...bruh the reason it looks impossible is because of what you post, it is easy to see why a member isn't ranking up or at least earning some merits, all you need to do is look at their post history, yours is one bounty report after another, and no merit source or members that give merits will come to the bounty section to give merits to you that will rank you up. If you want to be a Legendary member, then you have earn it in two ways: 1)leave the bounty section and 2)start being a contributor in the forum.

You're right, but I only do bounty. Earlier I wasb more involved, then there was no merit system and it didn't matter in which category the post was written, when everything changed I tried, but now it doesn't even matter. I don't actually do bounty that often.Maybe I'll try it sometime, but even Hero Member isn't bad.In any case, thanks for the suggestion.

Bounty cannot be the final scope of this forum. It surely can be a way of earning through the process of reading and writing in the forum, but the final scope here is to learn more about bitcoin. This is going to be, by several orders of magnitude, the biggest reward of getting into BitcoinTalk.org.

maybe I will sound outdated, but I think that the Bitcointalk forum (in addition to what you mentioned) is mandatory for the initial presentation of a new service. by that, I don't mean announcing new shit tokens/coins.
even the influence of this forum on solving potential scam misunderstandings I would single out as quality, before earning potential.

A good profile you have here, and I like your motivation, which suggests that anyone can do it, it will encourage us to do more, especially the new members. But no matter how some better users post here, they might still not rank well compared to some lesser-quality posters. That's life, just like some better quality videos that will be unpopular compared to some fewer quality videos that would go viral. We have to admit that luck is also needed here even for someone to be noticed, not only efforts, which makes it sad.

I think a dedicated page should be on the forum where anyone could request their posts to be reviewed randomly. This might increase the chance of being noticed more and being ranked up if the work is of good quality.

If you are to consider spreading out your post on different boards especially on bitcoin discussion and sections, then work on post quality, be active onnthe forum by not being an occasional poster, then take time to engage research to have new discoveries to offer, all these will also help, you can't be that commited if you're so engaged on other things outside the forum which took much of your time, so you may not actually have enough time to deliver as expected, never be known as a bounty poster alone but post in almost all English section and locale as well but bitcoin discussion should be your ultimate target and beginners and help, i think they needed more of help to deliver to newbies who are new in the system.

Earn 5 merit in the last 30 days is something you will probably never worry about, but it's quite different if you ask how I feel about it. Previously I didn't care about rank and even I didn't care how I had to get them because my main focus was posts and posts regardless of whether they were spam or not, that's all. But it's really unexpected that one night I really feel that what my mindset is not the best reflection for users who have been on this forum for 6 years, whereas they have earned hundreds to thousands even less than 1 year. I also want to be like that, it's never too late to start and I really want to set foot to do my best now and next.

If you manage to do it, then it's not impossible for me to do it too even though we never have the same speed.

You have boosted our enthusiasm and morale to post. From this we can gain the knowledge that nothing is impossible if we post here with good attention. I see you are never disappointed that you didn't get any merit in the first few months. But if we post something now we don't get Merid, we get frustrated and don't post on Bitcointalk anymore.
Because now we just run after merit without posting. But you didn't do that you proved yourself that you are a worthy member here and you deserve it and we can be like you if we try.

maybe because what you write is based on knowledge that is accompanied by the experience you have gone through. so that your writing becomes really comfortable to read.
and there is a quote that I like from your writing that really needs to be underlined. because this quote is the essence of your great hints. that is

There is a lot of motivation that can be grown through the merit system, I can really see a lot of them starting to care about the quality of their posts, especially when I review the posts reported in your other thread.

You are interpreting the merit distribution in the wrong manner as it's not like charity because it means helping the people but in actual these threads and merits are given to those who deserves them based on post of their quality only so you see it's different way of handing out merits on the forum.He is merit source and distribute merits from what he get as source and also smerits he has earned from his effective contributions on forum so he would then in return share it with some good low ranking members.

This way they will learn how to rank up on forum with your other threads as well getting merits from you on the good post and if you give all of them merits then they will never understand how to earn them through effective posting so your approach is very well that you are helping them to grow as well as learn which would help them to gain more merits in the long run as knowledge is key to success and we learn with time and dedication.

On my personal approach I still feel happy whenever I get one merit also because it boost my motivation that my contributions have been recognised and was helpful for someone on the forum.The merits boost up your morale to write more good and useful stuff on the forum to earn more merits but if we compare it with low rank members then yes they are more happy to get merits seeing themselves rank on the forum I would say rather based on 50 or 1 merit.But this system has helped to reduce spam to some extent as they cannot rise on the forum if they don't have zeal to learn and write useful post on the forum.

Wow, I forgot to update this thread for my 11,000 merit. And now it’s almost time for 12,000.
Time flies!

@ Fillippone,you deserve more than 12000 merits because of the positive impact that you are adding in the forum through your contributions, teaching and generosity. When I was a newbie, you were the one that I looked up to because then I only contributed on beginners and help board,this thread caught my attention and when I read it,I marvel how everything worked out for you here.

I am now a senior member,which you have contributed a lot to my rank up through your generosity and encouragement from this thread. I have seen the major role that you are playing to see the forum members rank up. You are more than a merit rascal.

fillippone, I have to admit that I enjoy reading your blogs. Again, even this one has a unique quality. You should be looked up to by everyone who is protesting about the apparently unequal merit system. You are the best example of how someone may rise to important positions in a short amount of time. Continue your wonderful work. Of course, I also respect and admire your talent. I always stick with you.

Has someone congratulated you on your amazing achievement?
If it's here or elsewhere, it's always great when contributors like you reach new milestones. Congratulations fillippone, I'm just a little late, maybe.

Yeah this one is outstanding and need to get good recognition since getting 12,000 is really achieving goal to reached by a forum user.

Anyways congrays @fillippone for acquiring this excellent milestone since this show to this community that its really possible to get that merit and inspire to do more better job to acquire this target or maybe even to rank up.

Note, these ain't praises, just an appraisal..
Fillippone, you're a resovoir of rare, technically-crafted ideas; different in the making... Doesn't really feel it's nice to be policed so you don't. You love being free in your own little cycle and that has paid off magnificently as you've had research periods and discoveries (which you've posted many as guides) in your own discretion.
I know how much time and dedication it needs to make mostly this tips work perfectly; ofcourse this ain't some unconventional tips, anyone needs to stoop really low to be able to fit in... maybe that's the reasons why we keep learning everyday? (Rhetorical) kudos dude!

If I'm not wrong about the account registration date and you could say you're running fast in achieving new milestones. It's hard to catch up with your achievements and it's almost impossible for someone who doesn't have the knowledge and contributions that have been made to the forum to match that number. About the 12,000 number and today I saw an addition of 12,032.

However I would like to congratulate you on a great achievement, this greeting is well deserved because of your contribution many users have succeeded in ranking up.

Lol, I didn't mean that, and I'm sure you know that.
But pay attention after that, some members also really want to congratulate you on your achievement and of course that's a matter of pride, right?
But yeah, it's about a bit of humor. ;D

Once again, congratulations. 12,000 merit, meaning you are the third most merit & most earn merit user and more most other.

A 47 runs lead is not that much but If Australia is able to get a lead of more than 150 runs then it won't be easy for Indian batters to chase those runs. The onus of stopping Australian batters largely depends on Ashwin and Jadeja. Already Jadeja has taken 4 wickets nothing has come from Ashwin. I am expecting Ashwin to start taking wickets today. These two bowlers hold the key for India's come back in this test match.

And we have no doubts on your intentions also ;D as you have already shattered it with additional merits and now heading towards the next big milestone and I remember how time flies right when you thought whether you or @theymos will reach 10k merits first so yes time flies but once again congratulations man on this achievement.

He is not writing blogs but useful and quality threads on forum to help members enhance their knowledge so correct your words.Those who are protesting about merit system are those who didn't want to grow up and were stuck to same old spam posting as merit system hinders their growth but it was totally worth it helping those who deserves it.

You said about getting motivated from him but it didn't seem from your post history as you have registered one year back and still haven't earned a single merit with only 28 posts so this is what you call stick with him? Work on yourself and grow your knowledge with dedication to learn and maybe you also rank up on forum.

Believe me or not, I once was driving in the middle of nowhere to Heathrow, and I saw a match of cricket.
I stopped for a few minutes to see it live.

Congrats, your guide is among the reason if not the main reason for me to continue here, knowing that a top member of the Forum was once like us sharing your insights is really great and this shows every veteran member started from somewhere but they learnt to become earners.
So we have to enjoy the learning phase before the earning phase and then both.
Earning merit was hard for me at first and so I thought ranking up was really hard until I read your post. Then saw how bad my posting style was, then I tried to become better and started seeing result, though I'm still changing because I still got more to learn but I have been able to become a member and now a full member though I was not having up to like 3 merit a year ago.
Thanks and congrats once more

This show your active and also how contributive you have been in this community. I would say the numbers look very scary for earned merits for someone to actually achieve but this your achievement serves as a moral boosters to other rookie's that this high figure in merit is very achievable.
Sir, I think is just a stepping stone to more achievement for someone like yourself, so good luck to you and wish you many more merits to you and I am also celebrating this achieve so I can claim such, maybe sometime in the near future ;D

This is amazing! You know the journey you plan the least are the ones that gives you the most. I know you never planned at first that things will go this way. But it turned out like this. Indeed you should be a role model to most persons here on the forum. I have seen your contributions to the growth of the forum, how you created a thread that you merit often to individuals when they share their best post. Thank you filllipone you have really done well to other members and please keep up with the good deed. I now you have a good heart and you will surely contribute more to members of the forum.

Sorry for the disrespect, I humbly congratulate you for your achievement and your rank status. You have about 14007 merits now if there were higher levels of rank you would have gone beyond that. I dont know how long it will take me to achieve what you have. You are a genius.

Congratulations @fillippone on your achievements here. You are such a legend to reckon with. I looked at your profile and I must confess that you have gone far a milestone here. The record you have built for yourself over the years here is very much intimidating and frightening. I admire your work strength and capabilities. You are an embodiment of knowledge here and have imparted to many members here as I see some already attest to your prowess and that settles it.
Once again, congratulations!
