Looks like you’ve got quite a bit of reading and catching up to do … satoshi has 2016 merits, which are really totally irrelevant in the big picture of things, so how exactly are you on the same group? You are on the other hand in a larger group of 2.591.651 existing accounts – 28.340 (earned) merited accounts = 2.563.311 accounts that have 0 earned merits … Edit: Well, now you've abandoned the communards group and entered the group of those that have earned 2 merits or more: 17.419 accounts in that group. Quite a leap … LOL this deserves a merit for making me laugh! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Which by the way shows how vague the merit system is. Some posts are merited because they are funny, some because they are informative, some because they have a lot of effort put into them even though they might not be as useful, some because we agree with the content of the post which might be a hateful post against a coin we also happen to hate! I had a pretty active week this time, and all I got was 2 merits? Man... I feel like this shit is getting harder and harder by the day!

Man, I tell you a secret: You can enjoy the forum without getting merits. If you had a pretty active week and you got only 2 merit AND you complain, you have to blame yourself, not the merit system. Otherwise, you should put more effort in what and how you write it, before calling the system vague. Allow me a little bit of self promotion, that is my story, but actually it's full of other people out there with similar ones.

Couldn't imagine how difficult the race was before these ranks where attained? Merit get harder since the implementation of the Merit system and i was found during these days. How i wish!!!! i could reverse the hand of the clock back, it would have be easy for us the lower rank members to rank up. Personally, i envy you guys for being good citizen of this forum, have just gone through some of your works on the forum and fond amazing stuff for the future generation, kudos. Since my present on this forum, today was my best and most luckiest day ever ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) for getting some appreciation from good citizens of this forum to merit some of my post, i never dream of this before now, but this just boost me up, for good work to earn more and to rank up. NB: Decentralize your Merit and smerit holdings, to put smile on others. ![Kiss](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/kiss.gif)

Allow me a little bit of self promotion, that is my story, but actually it's full of other people out there with similar ones. Sure, RivAngE has some kind of point that there can be something a bit whimsical about merits, but at the same time, it does not seem healthy to either get psychologically obsessed with getting merits for decently good posts and it comes off as a bit petty to post something like "I wished I could receive more merits for my 'valuable' posts." It seems to take some credibility away from your posts (and even insulting other members from making their own assessment about the "value" of your post) when you self-assess them as "valuable." Just showing up and posting on a regular basis does seem to cause merits, and reminds other members of your existence. Sometimes, I come across a member that I want to merit, but I don't want to merit based on merely one good post that I see, so I put the member on a "watch list" that I maintain, so if I don't see any further posts from the member after a certain time I might remove the member from my watch list - or I might actively go through the members prior posts to find a post that I believe is worthy of a merit.... So, there certainly can be some whimsical practice of the merit system that can be partly attributable to considerable individual differences regarding what they deem merit worthy and/or just if you catch them on the right day (merit sources included).

1) Self-Custody is a right. There is no such thing as "non-custodial" or "un-hosted." 2) ESG, KYC & AML are attack-vectors on Bitcoin to be avoided or minimized. 3) How much alt (shit)coin diversification is necessary? if you are into Bitcoin, then 0%......if you cannot control your gambling, then perhaps limit your alt(shit)coin exposure to less than 10% of your bitcoin size...Put BTC here: bc1q49wt0ddnj07wzzp6z7affw9ven7fztyhevqu9k

So you should lead by example by meriting deserving post when you see them (you have 5smerits now) go put smile on other people's face.
