I just want to clear your impressions concerning the merit stuff, I just newly got here and I'm yet to understand what it's all about or how to get it, I only used it as a reference based on what I read from the link I got yesterday, well I'll take my time and study the forum more.
You don't have to concern yourself with merits. I know that it might sound weird coming from someone with thousands of them, but it's true. Just participate in normal conversations and do your best. The merits tend to come. But you are not going to get any (or many) if you don't show any knowledge about Bitcoin or whatever the topic of discussion is about. Merits are rewarded for posts that are helpful, solve problems, and display knowledge, logic, common sense, sanity, etc.
