Thank you very much for my first merit.   I look forward to participating in future challenges.
 

Hello,  I like this oppurtuninty let me give this a try.

WHY
The merit system was introduced to limit spam and raise the quality of posts on the forums.

WHEN
The merit system was first released on bitcointalk.org, January 24th 2018.

WHAT ARE THE RULES

- Do not beg for merit excessively

- You get merit points when someone sends you some for one of your posts. Additionally, when someone sends you merit points, half of those
   points can be sent by you to other people.

- Distribution wont be moderated but merit shpuld still be given on the basis of good quality postsand not just on post that YOU
  AGREE WITH
