You only get rewarded when your coins find a block. Cloak is a pos coin and depends on open wallets. If you have a low amount of cloak you can expect to find ablock (stake/kint) after a few days or even weeks. You will get the reward but you cannot say when your coins will stake. Just to have an idea how long you might have to wait: 1000 CLOAK with an age of several days might stake within 5-10h after syncing the wallet. 100 Cloak might take a day or more when the wallet is synced. I hope this clarifies the staking process a bit.
As long as u do not move your coins they gain coin age and when your coins stake you get the reward for that age e.g. you waited 365 days with 100 cloak and then they stake you get 6 cloak (6%) if they stake after 1 month you get 1/12 of 6 Cloak => 0.5 Cloak.
I read your threads repeatedly. Something I do not really understand and hope you can explain a little bit. 1. Does it mean staking rewards will depend on staking weight, which in turn depend upon total number of coins in the wallet? 2. Does required time needed before wallet activated to stake also depends on total number of coins in the wallet? Thanks for your help in advance. |

~ for those people I have only few words : just fuck off and leave this forum alone . This forum is for people who care only for bitcoin and cryptocurrency development , it is not for bounty hunters God damn it .
You too, you should leave the forum because you are merit beggars (50 merits for what a normal topic). Your merit history shows that you likely bought those 50 sMerits for ranking up. However, you seems to try writing longer and longer threads in your last previous pages (I don't want to evaluate your post quality at all). Constructive, useful users will certainly rank up with merit system's challenges. |

What you are suggesting will only benefit account farmers more than the forum. nobody wants to pay you more money, all of the campaigns based on stakes are not paying you any thing from their own money, they are paying you with other people's money.
Expecting merits for doing a long post with graphic is not meritorious. if you really want to contribute, spam bounty managers with your OP, see what happens. paying less to members with no merits will create a market to buy merits to get more in a campaign.
Merit exchanges have occured (and it is not strange due to basic human instinct) regardless of campaigns required merits to get higher payments or not. Simply because lower ranked users need merits to rank up (particularly shit-posters who are unable to write high-quality posts and will never get merits by themselves). Merit exchanges are very popular in local boards (I saw lots of users pointed Russian out as the local board massively abused merit system). I strongly support ideas of signature campaigns to pay higher rewards for users who meet their merit requirements. |

This is not correct. Member ranks gets almost double of what Jr Members are getting. Some examples:
~
It should be like this. There are abundant Junior members who are mostly post shit. Their post histories are completely shit-show (sorry but I can find other words to express my ideas). Newbies only need to wait 6 weeks to become Junior members, and two Junior members equal to one Member in the signature campaign you shown (of course, if the campaign allows them to join). As you can see, it is much harder to get 10 merits and rank up to Member compared to create two new acounts and rank them up to Junior member. I hope that in the future, merit system will stuck them forever, and new rules of the forum will prohibit Junior members to join signature campaigns. |

Congratulations, hugeblack! I hope that I can take your case as my big motivation. I have actually got 18 merits, and still fallen far away from the target of 100 merits, at which I can rank up to Full Member. As you demonstrated, constructive users can obviously rank up with merit system. It is possible challenge. I like the challenge because it also gives me motivations to learn more and to help others. Before the merit system, I don't think I should learn several aspects of the forum as after launch of merit system.

The merit system is working perfectly. Less spam, less shitposts, less megathreads. Now people are not just ranking up to enroll in signature campaigns. They are contributing to this forum for its own sake (Not all of them). In addition, I do not know who gave Theymos the idea of the merit system. But if he came it up on his own, then I salute him. And although many people are still complaining about it, it really is helping others to make good quality posts.
Eventually, merit system will control all spammers in the forum, keep them stucked at their current ranks, makes them dissapointed and might leave the forum forever. At earlier stages after launch of merit system, they complained, cried a lot, but over time they have to accept the fact and have to adapt to survive in the forum, to rank up or have to leave the forum. That is magic impacts of merit system. |

Users will evaluate quality of other users' posts. I don't think Theymos can create a system which can automatically verify post quality. It is likely impossible tasks. 1.) how can we detect if its a good quality post?
English is global language, and this is common language in the forum too. The most important boards in the forum only allow English and users should sharpen their English skills to contribute to the forum through their English-proficient posts. 2.) not all of us are good in english (some post are merited manually because though it has not a good english grammar but have a good sense of post, basically we’re not having a language dicrimination here in the forum)
Such low-quality, non-sense, spamming topics will be locked and deleted soon by moderators. Don't worry. 3. i think there is no API available like that.
as what i observe why people create low quality post because of low quality topic, moderators did this before deleting low quality topics if this continues we can prevent low quality post.

It's good if newbies can join signature campaigns in the forum after merit system launched about 2 months ago. However, I think that newbies should focus on learning, getting knowledge first before thinking about doing anything else in the forum. This should be their first priority when joining the forum, which is useful and can help them a lot, help them free.
Furthermore, newbies should post constructive threads when joining signature campaign, should avoid as much as possible spamming threads. The reason is spamming will make their post history looks badly, ugly, then they will probably never get merits in the future. No one want to send their sMerits to a users, who always spam the forum since his/her beginning day in the forum.

For someone who don't know how to use search function in the forum. This one can help you to get what you want. Please follow these steps, then you can use search fucntion more efficiently. It will help you to save your time, and find what you want. Additionally, searching before posting is very important to avoid spamming, unintentionally plagiarising (which seriously violate forum rules that result in bans).

Agree. It is not easy to earn merits, but not extremely difficult, not impossible. Users can get it if they really contribute to the forum, contribute day by day, contributing continuously. I believe that merits will come to such a constructive users. It's really not easy to earn merit points even with good content because people with merits don't think its necessary even when they have extra merit points.
Sometimes users will get merits for their high quality threads, sometimes they won't get them. One of the reason is users (especically higher-ranked users) don't have too much time to scan around the forum to find high-quality threads, then evaluate them and send them merits. Another reason is high-quality threads covered by hundreds of shitty-posts. Nevertheless, merit system will solve the problem over time. Let's wait and see. There are many posts with proper title and content that need to be merited but they are not getting any single merit. There are many posts with proper title and content that need to be merited but they are not getting any single merit.
No, it's hard to release such a official rule like you proposed. The problem is verifying/ evaluating quality of each thread is an impulsive tasks. Someone can feel that the thread is useful, helpful for them because it helps them to solve their problems; someone else can feel the thread is non-sense because it is not highly related to their issues. In my view there are some incentive also for giving merits, if anyone gives merits to low-quality post then he will be punished by losing some of his existing merits points and if he give merits to high-quality post that is helpful for people then he must get a reward for this as well.

Hi there!! Do you heard about merit?? What's it for??
yes . merit is a new Ranking System. where People or Readers judge your post . where the Readers decide if it is Deserving to earn a Merit. go to this Thread to know more about Merit System https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0You are wrong. Merit system is not a ranking system. This one is simply one of ranking system's components, including activities and merit points. In fact, merit system was launched to motivate forum users to be more constructive, helpful; and most importantly to control forum spammers. |

A good recent example which comes to mind is zentdex's Where the merit pours. He made several English errors, but he was entirely understandable, and the post was overall a very good contribution. I can contribute with better analysis than zentdex, bit I can not have data. Your raw dataset is not enough, and I don't have skills to get more detailed data from the forum base on your rw'aw data. If you can publish more detailed data, I can help make my analysis. I have asked zentdex but he didn't share data which he used for his topic. Thanks, Theymos. |

Alright! I made my choice.

I you has still open merit giveaway competition, please spend a couple of minutes to look at my post history when you have free time. If you want to close the topic and the competition, please lock your topic. Thank you. |

Exactly. The topic creator should diversify target topics from Meta, Beginners. & Help, to Bitcoin Discussion, etc to increase probability to receive merits; but should not post too much in Altcoins boards and child boards because higher rank members who are most actively in the forum seems to rarely visit those sections.
Keep posting high quality, constructive (helpful and useful in contexts of each discussion), keep calm and waiting patiently; merits will come later or sooner. Don't pay too much attention about home many hours/ days you will earn merits after publishing your threads.

I think those "high ranking account" never sell their reward merit, because that's the reputation that they actively contribute to the overall goals of the Forum. Again they have the money!  Some of them sell their sMerits, but they should not do this because they will be tagged with red trust sooner or later. Over time, they will feel harder to get more merits after original allocated merit points run out. Earning merits by contributing to the forum is better choice and it's legally approach based on current forum rules. |

Super unfair!
I think it is actually fair because you exchanged merits with another guy for shit-post (3-5 word long). All your threads are completely shit-show. Please stop complaining about merit system, which is perfect one to prevent shit-posters to rank up. Don't complain and show your account with evidence about merit begging. |

First of all, It is not Russian. But lets say it was Russian, does this make my post low-quality?
It sounds a little bit racist to me.
It is my mother language which is the oldest on the planet, and you seem to ignore it.
If you don't recognize my language , how do you know is low-quality and spam?
Your opinion is irelevant and that shows the level of your education which unfortunately is non existent.
No, you don't understand what I meant. Higher rank members rarely visit local boards, that is the main reasons why threads in local boards have low probability to earn merit points from them. In addition, your threads in local boards are almost one-line posts, right? I don't understand what you wrote, but most one-line threads are low-quality ones. |

Something like users must earn 5 merits a months for their account to display a signature if being done by theymos or managers can make a user earn 1 merit per week to stay in a campaign.
This idea is good, and suitable to apply for next campaigns with new rules from forum admin. I am waiting for this one. It will be better to restrict campaigns like this because it will help to eliminate accounts which have already stayed at higher ranks before the launch of merit system. Those ones should be prevent to join campaigns somehow, and your suggestion might be one of appropriate solution to control spamming-higher-rank users. |

Wrong! Only bad-quality posters complain that merit system is unfair. I look at your post history, most of your posts are one-line, Russian language, and maybe spam threads. I totally agree that agree that Merit is unfair.
Wrong too! Merit senders will lose their sMerits (which are the actual thing they send, not Merit points). Merit receivers will get both merits and sMerits, for one Merit point receive, merit receivers will get additional 0.5 sMerits. I totally agree that agree that Merit is unfair. Because its unable to produce more merit.
You get 0.5 sMerit when someone Merits you, plus he looses 1 Merit.
Please read this one carefully to get what you have missed. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0 |

actually merit system will not harm anyone in this forum. with this merit system I as a newbie be open mind to improve the quality of my posts.
because the more difficult to raise the rank, then one way to do is improve the quality of our posts.
More exactly, the more difficult to rank up with merit and new rank system, the more deserved you will get after ranking up legally. And there are more ways to earn merits, but users should focus on legal ways as constructive users to contribute to the forum. |
