Any Suggestions to gain more merit?

Please help and advance thanks to all.

Answers from ChatGPT bot are enough

I asked ChatGPT on how to earn merit on Bitcointalk (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5432402.0)
If you use Google Search, you can find many topics about it.

Two topics you must read before asking more about how to earn merit
Merit & new rank requirements (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0)
Welcome message (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5036308.0)

If you can not do simple exercises like Searching, and always ask questions like this, you will not be able to gain merit.

Well, for now it's not too difficult to get merit but it's also not too easy, what you need to do is not only be active, but also have quality posts that are relevant to the topic being discussed. Wish you luck.

Welcome to the Bitcoin Forum. You must first post as per the form rules. Do not copy and post other people's posts. Merit is not earned by chasing merit. Always try to post quality. And always try to stay online..

To begin with, participate in the forum. You registered on the forum on 9 December, wrote one post on that day, and you haven't written any more until today. I don't know if you expect merits to fall from the sky when it rains or something. Participate every day by writing constructively and little by little you will earn merits.

Rule no one of earning merit: never mention merit.  8)
There isn't much to do just try to participate in discussions, share your ideas with others and if there are interested in what you shared your post might get merited, and another tip don't make post just because you want to earn merits because you'll get disappointed. Most times the post you think won't give you any merit end up with the  most merits, you know the forum is not a school that has a certain marking schemes that are used to access merit worthy post, it al depends on who is reading your post and how significant they find your post to be.

All you need are:

- Become useful
- Only post when you have something interesting to say
- Learn any bitcoin related areas that interest you.

After that, merit will follow.

This is the best explanation of merit

You will earn merit by starting or participating in forum discussions. But before you start any discussion you should ensure that it will be beneficial to the forum community. Before responding to a post make sure you read the topic and other people's responses, if you have something different and helpful you can post it. You can also get information from other sources but ensure you reference them when you post them in the forum. Merits can be rewards for answering someone's question or adding to the person's knowledge. You can also get merits by joining competitions and doing a good job. Don't be desperate for merit, just be yourself, keep learning and enjoy the forum.

Yes, here they are:
- Do not think about merits. You will set yourself up for great disappoint, depression and even ban.
- Think quality posts and top reply always. Make great posts or answer the queries of other users that show that you are willing to contribute positively to the growth of the forum.
- Read forum rules: They are a lot of them but it wouldn't hurt going over them in your spare time. You may ask questions where you are confused.
- Participate in the forum fully. There was just the pie contest that ended a couple of weeks ago.
- Lastly, develop a thick skin for the harsh comments you may receive.

I hope the above helps you as much as they have helped.
You are welcome.

Second post of yours and you asked about merit earning. I think the best way to earn it is be honest on your contribution and intention here. Also being a newbie means you need to study first everything you need to know here so that when you are engaging on some discussion you can ride with such technical discussion or response with confidence. Some merits could be gain and liked by others to those newbies who are showing persistence to learn.

always work hard, don't forget to continue to improve the quality of your posts, as a beginner I'm doing that right now.
be consistent and not spam so that your btt account name will be lifted up, don't forget to be patient too, because sometimes we have tried our best but haven't gotten what we want, so with that stay patient if one day this comes to you.

Are you here to gain merits or to learn about bitcoins? You should be asking if there are any suggestions to help you a newbie gain more knowledge about bitcoins which is majorly what this forum is about, and not about just  asking about merits.

Knowledge is more important than merits. Knowledge will follow you long after even if you decide to quit participating in this forum.

If your interest here is just gaining merits, you already have the wrong priorities.

Hello, Newbie. I mean, you already know enough about how the forum is organized, since your first message is a question about merit. In addition to the merit section, you still need to take time to study the rules of the forum, otherwise you will be blocked before you receive your first merit.

At first you r a new member and If I am not wrong you have a little idea about cryptocurrency and about this forum. If I am right you should not post for merit that is not a good work if you want to hunt merit when you don't contribute in this forum. First try to learn and contribute through the forum and help members as much as you can. Then you may earn a lot of merits. So first learn by yourself about crypto, Bitcoin, this forum and help others. Also you can post about scams in crypto then you may earn merits. Best of luck for you.

Yes, there's alot expected of you to offer on the forum and before you could achieve doing this, there are some requirements needed of you to have fulfilled which are:

1. Being active on the forum
2. Undergo a learning ground
3. Develop yourself about bitcoin and the forum
4. Make quality posts with interesting contents
5. Be consistent in doing all the above items.

Being a newbie, you're not expected to have chase after merits first but to develop yourself and get used to the forum by creating values, merits will later set in without you demanding for it base on what you're contributing with time.

Hello OP good day,

Op when I visit your profile all I saw is that you've been registered on December  2022 which is 3 you are already 3 months old here in the forum but you have only 2 posts and now you are starting to post which is pretty good for newbies. And about your question about how to gain merits then all I can say is that merits will follow if you contributed well to this community. Jus keep moving forward and learn more things then achievements will be reach Soon. And before you doing anything don't forget to read and understand our forum rules in order to avoid mistakes .

How do you want to get merit when you only have a few posts and then ask about getting merit? It's a little weird.
All you have to do is make interesting and unique posts and this can provide knowledge here or develop yourself what is a skill in bitcoin at least you understand it then you can ask about getting merit.

Merit does not come alone, this is because of our skills in creating content if it is interesting people will be interested in you and give you the number of merits they want.

Many suggestions have been given by several members here, all you have to do is study it.
Never get bored, keep learning and developing your potential with the insights you have.

This is home of knowledge, you are lucky to have found yourself here. Regarding your question about gaining of merit, at the beginning of my write up I said home of knowledge, to gain merit here is by contributing to the forum, make a post or reply that will benefit people in the forum.

Please as a newbie go through this rules to avoid any ban from the forum.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.msg7955645#msg7955645

I will advise you to be yourself, and understand the major concept of Bitcoin, the forum rules, and regulations. Find the area you are good at and make a good contribution within the board that's focused by merit source.

The answer provided by the ChatGPT machine is accurate and I never think about asking the bot such type of question but the bot is still just a plagiarism tool.

even though your account is not new, you just started posting on the forum. read more information in the forum. find what you want to get here. and just focus on what interests you.
if you're good enough to join the discussion on a local board, that's fine. there you can get help with a better community.
Welcome to the forum, hope you have a pleasant experience.

People have already given you all the best answers you actually deserve and I hope you take out time to go through the links sent to you and you should also remember that bad advice can also be gotten here, so hence you should also filter the informations you get from here as not every Information from here is accurate as people talk base on their personal experience and assumption of life and no one will be held responsible for any actions you take.
Always do your own research (DYOR) and please try as much as possible to focus on writing quality post rather than earning merits for with quality Post, it will be easier to earn merits when the merits starts coming.
Always be confident of yourself and be open to criticism and be ready to learn from them.

You need to earn your first merit at this point and you are asking about how to gain more?

The best and simple advice is to completely ignore on how you will get merits and Focus on gaining knowledge through different resources, asking your doubts and participating in healthy discussion on forum.Slowly you will gain knowledge which will be reflected in your post history and you will gain merits but why in such a hurry to have merits? Give it time and learning is the key to growth.

What are these merits newbies are always asking about?
What is it's use on and outside the forum? Can some newbie enlighten me because, am confused!

Meanwhile, I can tell you right now at OP that, the forum is a discussion platform, an arena where you can learn and teach/inform as well as getting to practice certain skills in the field and digital space.

I'll advise you follow up on what would improve you far above the forum, even though the forum is bigger than most of us and we all hope to archive something head on from here. The cryptospace remains bigger than forum but, you can get most of the knowledge you need from here.

Chatgpt can answer anything inputted on their software, but a google search is perfect for OP to find out the answer.

OP, you should first spend time on this forum by reading and learning from others and reading the guidelines of this forum. The best way to get merit is to provide value in this forum. People with lots of merits here are contributing to this forum.

This is the second post since joining the forum, you immediately ask how to get Merit. Have you ever found another user's post that got more Merit than you expected?
Looks like you should look at the pinned topic guide which discusses tips on how to achieve merit to generate passion in obtaining merit. You can achieve what you want as long as you want to try and keep learning, we are here starting as newbies who don't know anything about forums. Because we are consistently here and keep learning, at least we can understand how to get merit.

The first tip in gaining merit is to follow forum rules and guidelines, followed by the quality of your posts or discussions you bring into the forum.
It would be beneficial to you if in your start up you get yourself acquainted with the informations from these materials: Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3469416.0
The informations you will get from these materials are capable of molding you beyond the level of a newbie.

OP, you asked a question that has already been answered a hundred or more times on this forum.
By simply using the search function, you could find the answer in a few minutes.
Also, at the top of this section you already have all the answers.
So, until now, you have not even bothered to do the most basic thing, read all the instructions for new members and inform yourself about the work and functioning of this forum.
If you want to become a respected member of this forum, you should try harder and find a way to contribute to this forum and help others instead of thinking how others can help you.

You are right that mate here in our community it' not good if we take and take but not give back all I said is that give and take is the best way to leave this community and if we are newbies we need to know our rules which is we don't need to ask something already been answered not once, not twice but hundreds time. And the best thing to do is we will use the search button first before creating a topic or asking anything. Because here in forum almost possible question about the forum and Bitcoin see already tackled all we need to so is to find that by searching.

Merit is hard to get for people who don't understand how to get it, but it will be easy for people who already understand how the merit system works. Many Threads discuss how to get Merit, try to spend a little time to read some of the recommended threads.
This is your second post since joining the forum. To get merit takes effort, start reading more so you can make constructive posts.

Never expect someone to give merit to your post because it will make you disappointed when no one appreciates your post. People's ratings on quality posts are very subjective, answering other users' questions can be considered quality and will be rewarded with merit.
I hope you are lucky.

For you to get merits in this comment, you will need to write posts and contribute to other discussion. You must not do all these for the sake of getting merits but to help people with answers to there questions. This is a community and we help one another here by giving answers to there questions. Your coming to this community is not to just get the merit but to make an impact to people that need help with there various questions. There are various ways to get merits and one of the ways is for you to join competitions, make a good posts, help people and share your ideas.

If you fully comprehend the English definition of merit, you will not seek advice on how to make merits. When you make meaningful contributions to the forum, the users who thought your contribution was worthy of merit will give you to show their appreciation for the contribution you just made in the forum. And don't be disappointed if you don't get any, even if you believe you should; different people perceive things differently.

There are several ways to earn merits, the most important of which is quality content. Earning merit is neither difficult nor easy; all you need to do is make a good post in the forum.
And don't just put your mind to earning merit in these forums because that may discourage you because you may believe that all of your posts deserve to be merited, which is not the case.

OP no one will be generous to give you merit because you are not making any contributions to this forum, engaging in different topics, or posting your opinions, forget about merits for now, they always come when you won't expect them, focus on making good comments and asking some good questions from members, I have look into your history and I am not impressed so I can't merit you until you improve yourself, until then, peace.

The first thing we most do as a newbie shouldn't be chasing merit, the main thing we should do is to study and learn how the forum works and there rules, also by learning from the old members to enable us make good quality post, then merit can come later because focusing on chasing merit without knowing the forum rules can get your account blocked before even getting a merit.

Getting a merit as a newbie isn't a big deal, but the most important point is that you no longer need to discuss how to obtain merit rapidly. Instead, concentrate on studying more about the issue you've come here to discuss since I don't believe you'll be able to write a quality piece unless you understand bitcoin. As a result, you will be able to create high-quality postings that will get you merit.

Newbies who have concentrated more on how the forum works,and have learnt more things on the forum have done well than people who came and start seeking for merit because,people who came here to learn and know more about Bitcoin get themselves involved in the trading and investing system,they learn the different strategies in trading and investing,they don't just trade,they make sure they make regular research about what type of project they would like to invest in.While people seeking for merits are the ones after campaign.
It would be good to focus more on learning how to trade,how to invest,knowing the different strategise on having a good trade because that will help than seeking for merit, which will not be easy to get.

Change the things that you give attention the most and as far as I can see is that you focus on earning merit. Since you ask about it then here's my suggestion on how to earn merit.

First, Do not beg for merits.

Second,  Do not chase merits.

Third, Make good/high quality posts.

Fourth, Be knowledgeable through learning by reading, doing it yourself and more.

Good luck

you're most welcome op, there's nothing much to know or do to gain merits, all you got is to be productive as in, try to engage or make post that are informative and educative and be ready to learn.

I think this will help you. I read it couple of minutes ago. look how he got all his merit. What I understand is if you have good knowledge merits will follow you.

As a new member, you won't be able to post pictures on the forum yet, regardless of your activity level. It's just one of the rules here. In the meantime, you can try hosting your image on an external site and linking to it in your post. This can be a good workaround if you need to include an image in your post.

Additionally, it may be helpful to check the forum's guidelines and rules for new members: Newbies - Read before posting (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0)

Try your possible best to be more active in the forum and to improve in quality Post, which are part of some of the things that will help you to get merits easily in the forum. Also learn how to create a good topic that will add value to other users in the forum because, many are waiting to learn from other senior members comments so that they will be perfect in all areas in the bitcointalk.org platform. Ensure you follow all the rules that guide the forum, so that you will not regret for such punishment that will fall on you when you beg for merit because the sign is in your eyes which you need to avoid it as a newbies.

Being active here is one of the means of earning merits here. If you are not active your account would not be visible to the forum users and the possibilities of being meritted by others would be very slim.
People that earn a higher amount of merits are people who are always active on a daily bases. In order words, one must find what give them joy in the forum or let's say what they are passionate about in order to have the urge to visit here on a daily bases.
Be it as it may, I understand that being on the forum is not a job it is what one should do at leisure, but to some of us, we are kind of being addicted to visiting here.

Always active in the forum and post good/high quality post,  Be knowledgeable through learning by reading, doing it yourself,When you make a meaningful contributions to the forum, the users who sees your contribution is worthy to give merit, they will give you merit,and this are some of rules don't copy and paste, don't  beg, No threats to inflict bodily harm, death threats.  always follow the rules and you in the forum link to this web site https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0 to know the rules and regulations, and stop asking such question.

Yes I am following your advice very carefully sir. I have read the rules for newbies, and I understand that to become a Jr member I need to have 30 active days on the forum and make 50 useful posts

If I want to post a picture on another forum, the amount of time it takes to upload will depend on the policies of that forum and the speed of its servers

Actually, it's not completely accurate. To become a Jr. Member, you gotta get 30 activity points AND at least one Merit point. You can read more about it here: FAQ: Everything you need to know about forum 'activity, account ranks and merit (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2766177.0)

Your posts aren't doing much for the forum yet, as they all seem to be related to bounty campaigns. If you want to level up here, get more involved and share something that adds value. That's how you'll earn some merits!

Sir I respect your thoughts and would like to post crypto-related content, but I am unable to upload images. I understand from your previous response that becoming a Jr member is necessary for image uploads. Can you guide me on how to become a Jr member and where to find the required merit? Thank you for your assistance.

Give yourself to these and more others like these you might come across in the forum, they are capable of molding and building you to also make resourceful and quality discussions to the forum which may earn you merit if deserving.

Now you have become a Jr Member after the first merit you get. congrats on your first merit.
It needs to be underlined, there is no specific place to look for merit. Merit does not need to be searched for, start improving the quality of posts even better than before, when people think your posts are of high quality, merit will easily come to your account.
Try to get rid of old habits like making useless posts and reduce the number of posts containing reports from Bounty Campaigns. You will not develop if you only focus on the Bounty Campaign, suggestions from @FatFork are very helpful for your development, especially in increasing your rank.
