is this true? Why are you selling your merits? I think I'd better wait for someone here in the forum to give me 1 or 2 merit because of my honest work rather than waste my  .005btc to some cheater like you. What you are doing is not legal and may put you at risk, do you know that? As far as I know, selling merit is prohibited in this forum and you may be ban or get negative trust because of your wrong doing. Not only you, also people in this forum who will buy your merit.

By the looks of it, the DT members disapprove of this practice, and your trust just took a hammering. How could you not predict that this would happen? In any case, do you actually think 26 merits would be worth $50? Merits.... $50? Doesn't compute.

If people really wanted merit, they would post highly quality material here on the forum, the merit sources aren't exactly stingy with their sMerit. If you post something worthy, you'll be merited. Anybody receiving merit suspiciously (e.g. indicating it has been purchased) is likely to take a hammer just like you.

Anyone who will buy or sell sMerit will probably get negative trust rating and if I were the admin like Theymos I will ban those account doing that.

Look like thread starter already banned.

It can be a problem if this guy give someone merit. Forum admin can punish merit "receiver" even if they didn't paying for them.
Ban merit seller is the best decision.

that's a desperate move. No wonder you've got negative trust because of this issue. You can just give someone your merit  instead of selling it. Many of us here wants to have merit but of course in a legal way. Giving away your merit for "free" will help other people here increase their merit, there is no need to sell it even for the lowest price. That's a ridiculous and crazy move.

Theymos give you free and to give to the right, why would you sell it? Did you forget your responsibility with that?

Well, he's got 250 merits. Must have done something really useful to the forum
or may be he got it in this very same method.

That being said, it seems like -32 negative trust would be enough to keep that account from getting any action with sales.

But such account is a bad influence on the forum. Off course, a member that goes all the way to sell merit and with multiple red tag would perpetrate more attrocity with the same account if allowed to continue.

I guess an existing account continues to generate merit (if not stopped) which obviously would be used irrationally and inappropriate. Is just a bad influence.

So how does this actually work, when I reach 240 activity and my merit is short do I make a post and ask members to provide me merit to move up to Snr Member or do I just hope and pray someone gives me 150 merits which is next to impossible to receive from users? Lets be honest this merit system is just like the DT0 where Theymos is in control and there is nothing you can do to get on it but to be friends with the guy, I wish to see only 1 person who went from Full Member to Snr Member or from Snr Member to Hero or from Hero to Legendary ever since this Merit system started, which I highly doubt has happened.

Finally! A smart one!
This become so rare in the english-speaking section!

Personally, I think it's similar as selling one's trust. But can trust ever be sold? Trust is earned and has to be worked hard on it. It's never a good idea to sell one's merits as your merit is something like a prize, a trophy, or an achievement of some sort. But sometimes you can't just blame someone selling something like this as life becomes harder these days and will do so to profit for anything that can be made as money. No different for other people selling their chastity just to earn money.

I would have to disagree with some parts of your statement, most people on the forum only received a few merit and that is about 50 if your lucky, so when Theymos says you need 750 Merits to move from Snr Member to Legendary do you believe it to be fair and attainable? It would be great if there was a way to earn merit automatically and not given to a few members to control who will move from 1 position to another.

What I have seen with the merit system only friends and people who don't need them are the ones who are sharing them and not giving them to the ones who need them, someone should be in charge of this system and review who deserves to move up, but it would consume way too much time so I don't believe it would ever be possible, form my point of view this is a screwed system that will destroy the forum unless people decide to check you Activity and not the position written on your account.

If you doubt that these people are sharing the merits with each other simply check below:

Top-merited topics, all-time
Top-merited users, recent merit

This is quite pathetic to see that a market has evolved out of merits now. This was posted on bitcointalk and hence it got notified but what about those who might sell it on reddit or on other forums. Merit system works well if the users are ready to play fair and contribute in a way so that the people who are new to crypto may feel safe, informed and learn a ton of knowledge within few weeks from this forum. Hope merit system is not abused to a higher degree.

anyways don't do these stuffs. We working hard to up rank and you opening up short cuts for lazy persons.

Genius! Now we'll just set back and see who purchased them, whereupon others (not me) will give the recipient negative trust, negating what he had hoped to accomplished when making the purchase.

Wasted senior account for .005 btc, so sad on your side after having a hard time to rank up on that level. Now I allowing you to give those merit to me as a free give away. lol. Anyway, hoping that you learn on this mistake and don't be greedy in money. Love on money is the root of all evils. No hurt feelings folks!

Is this legal, this must be problematic and unrespectful to others I think. What kind of people are you if you want to sell even merit for money, resourceful or greedy ?. But one thing I really sure in this world,"money can't change you, but money help you to see what you really are".

What kind of wisdom you have for posting this line, "money can't change you, but money help you to see what you really are". That is a realistic vision, simple but so deep in explanation. So cool folks, thinking that you love to read a lot of inspirational book or what. Respectful mind of your. Merited dude!

Not really. He was a Sr. Member when the merit system got introduced, and received 250 as "starting amount", like any other Sr Member.

He was already red-tagged for account sales & spamming of signature campaigns back in 2017, See his Trust, so i doubt he cared much about his account in the first place with the current state it was in.

There's already a good amount of users who have earned enough merit to become Hero member, or Sr. Member. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=topusersat

Actually all these members are very old and the fact is that no one is giving merit to new members, though Theymos warned that keeping merit is useless, it will be minused if you keep it for a long time and do not share with any one.

The purpose of creating a merit system, to my knowledge is to encourage members in this forum who care about their level to provide good quality posts. Your level is far above me, but with the topic you make that way by offering merit buying, I do not know if you understand or not the purpose of the merit itself.
Even if you sell merit at a lower price than you offer though, sorry I do not want to waste my money. It just makes me stupid and does not want to learn to be better.

[CryptoRobert]

After having read this OP I have realized we should start to have a Crypto Darwin Awards for idiots like this guy who has managed to suicide his Senior Account by trying to earn a few bucks in the open attempt to destroy an useful system of merit which has been introduced for the purpose of rescuing this forum from the proliferation of idiots and garbage.
