I propose here to discuss the objectives and the results of Merit. Why I touched on this question. I and many new users are faced with the fact that for promotion you need to somehow get Merit. I began to read a lot about this and ask people about how they got Merit. I was touched by the fact that many newcomers tend to buy Merit, and do not deserve it from other users, offering quality posts. I learned the situation about buying Merit, and easily found willing to sell me Merit at a price of $ 28 for 1. I can afford to buy, but this is against the worthy goal of "Merit". Merit is more than money! As you see Merit, I did not buy it!

Good for you. You've taken the first steps to becoming a citizen by not breaking the law. The next step is to report those accounts that offered to sell it to you... :/

I don't think it's that big of a problem, if someone receives a big quantity of merits at once it's usually very easy to identify if they send it to themselves or bought it in any case. People have been able to buy accounts legally in this forum for years and it was never stopped.

$28 for one merit is mad. That values a Legendary account at $28,000, I've given away more than $5,000 of merit so far.
What sort of loser would pay that amount of money for something that he could get for nothing if he made a bit of an effort..

Buying Merits will be useless. You would still need to make quality posts to where your merits will be given. If not, the merit that will be given to you will be suspicious. Though we can not rely on reporters of merit abusers, we should let the users realize that there is more than just earning here in the forum. Thank you because you are not one of them.

Jesus H. Christ! $28 for a single merit? That's like the black market rate for a Suboxone strip, a similar crazy-ass markup (and no, I don't participate in either black market). I'm stunned. OP, there are trusted users here who can see pretty easily when merits are not being given in good faith, i.e., are being bought or exchanged between alt accounts, and these users (like actmyname & Lauda, and I'm sure there are more) are tagging these morons. As long as it takes a clean trust score to participate in campaigns, all is well with the world. These jizzbags think they're going to get away with it, but they're wrong. They're not going to get away with it, just like they don't get away with copy/pasting. Big brother is watching, homies, and this time here it ain't the government. DT folks are on pa-TROLL. *Slips back from Huge Black Woman Mode* I'm curious as to who is offering to sell merit here. I know all the idiot noobs are willing to buy it, but I'm wondering if we've got old-timers here who are selling merit points in bad faith, against the spirit of what the merit system is about. What sort of loser would pay that amount of money
A loser with more money than brains or morals--and there are quite a few on bitcointalk from what I've seen.

While its not against the rules to buy/sell merit (unless you are a merit source) its frowned upon, others have said it and I don't need to rehash that.
What I can say, is that if someone is sending you unsolicited PMs, that IS however against the forum rules, so if you report their message, they will be banned.

Today I saw how they offered to sell Merit and for an extra fee to write a quality post that the bitcointalk administration did not suspect ... I created this topic to discuss how we can improve Merit in order to eliminate such precedents ...

I have been on the bitcointalk platform for quite some time now and have been wondering how people get merits.I have tried to contribute meaningfully to discussions, I am yet to receive any merit point.I kind off resigned to fate.Your information is very revealing and at the same time very sad.I think the merit system should be reviewed or some other method introduced to make it fairer when distributing such points.Those who sell merits should be punished.Merits points should be made available to new comers.I will still ask here,How do I get some merits point?I am overdue for the next upgrade.Thanks for the write up

I also saw Beyonce for a few moments but she was in a hurry, I couldn't consummate with her. here you go with one lol. if you are believing the OP, you should believe me too. he probably was in a telegram group, where garbage posters usually go to reorganize and has probably heard a greedy high rank member offering a rip off deal to some of the newbies.
If anybody would like to buy merits in bulk for $2 per merit, theymos would only generate +1 Million. you would need to offer $2,000,000 dollars. or you could just donate $50 to a forum's Bitcoin address and then sign a message with the address you are donating with in a post on this thread, I will not then go through your posts to find the meritorious ones and will not merit any of them. you would be donating with nothing in return. we will accumulate all the donations and reward the top 3 members except admin, staffs, and Chipmixer participants (what was that don DarkStar? why shouldn't we reward your birds? they're already earning most of the money from signature campaigns, they have 50 out of 77 merit sources as their own friends, it would be unfair for anybody rejected by you. don you are literally a don DarkStar_leone of this community).
No body is willing to donate without expecting something in return? of course I'm aware of the signature/ess challenge with so many generous sponsors, donating $10 up to $25 for a week, but most importantly, there are sure merit sponsors. no matter what happens, somebody would receive merits and a cash prize on top. brilliant idea, not only I'm going to earn merits for my contribution, I'm not even paying any money for it, in fact I'm getting paid to earn merits by contributing. I'm not earning merits just by contributing. full stop lol.

$28 for one merit. Are you serious? I don't think so, my friend. You can earn merit by contributing to the forum through your constructive posts. Getting merits by contribution, don't have to spend money to get them. I learned the situation about buying Merit, and easily found willing to sell me Merit at a price of $ 28 for 1. I can afford to buy, but this is against the worthy goal of "Merit". Merit is more than money!
Furthermore, merit exchanging violates forum rules and destroys the original objectives of merit system. And you know what? Sooner or later, you will be found by admin, moderators or by other users in the forum, then your account will be under high-risk of banning (temporary or permanent depends on level of abusement). Good luck my friend.

Good luck my friend. Such a thing should be actionable, when there is someone who sells merit point then he has violated the justice and also has made a negative stigma against the forum. Should people who buy also blamed because when they can get a merit when they can make a quality post. Indeed the actors of merit exchanges can still be found, our current task is not to help the bad guys who try to sell merit, besides our active role to be able to inform all the information to the moderator is also a thing worth doing. Because when we can uncover a bad case then we can improve the credibility and quality of this forum.

I think this is expected by the admins to happen, that is why we can report them easily to the admins and then soon will be punished, so the only way we can contribute here is to caught and report them, in their way they just put their accounts in a risky situation and possibly get banned.

I think if there are no member that are willing to buy it, there will be no seller. However, it is really nice idea to report anyone who is selling it.

I have been on the bitcointalk platform for quite some time now and have been wondering how people get merits.I have tried to contribute meaningfully to discussions, I am yet to receive any merit point --snip--.I will still ask here,How do I get some merits point?I am overdue for the next upgrade.
From what i could see, you have only been concentrating on earning through those bloated facebook and twitter accounts. More than half of your post count consists of "Reports". You are already going to get some of those tokens for that. What more do you expect? If you really want to earn 'merit', then first stop viewing Bitcoin and the forum solely from those money-tinged lenses. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) There are lot of people running challenges and such to review your posts. Spend sometime looking for them. People are even offering merit for doing some detective work if you think your posts can't be enough. A good place to look would be Joel_Jantsen's Merit Distribution Thread (Newbies Welcome). You may FEEL entitled to merit but with your current level of posting/ knowledge, sadly, you are not. Any of the new members who fall for buying merit will find themselves in a vicious circle of shitposting and paying for merit. The steps in the vicious circle are simple: 1. Not getting any merit because your post history is mainly "Quote in Quote" Reports. 2. Buy 10 merit for, say, 150$ to upgrade to Member. 3. Join as many campaigns as possible to recover the investment now. 4. Make pointless posts to complete count and again get your post history filled with Reports.5. Back to Step 1. For anyone willing to work on this, I suggest take a 2-week break from the campaigns. Just read and learn about bitcoins. Read the book, the core blog, the Satoshi institute website, maybe even try running a full node. Find you forte and knowledge well with which you can make substantial posts. Otherwise, there is no use in being a cry baby. Help yourself so the forum can help you.

What a nice move, setting yourself as a bait is a good technique to catch who's the real guilty. Well, I already expected that kind of sceneario due to hard earning of merits so it's not shocking to know that such kind of transaction really happens.
I admire you for being honest and obedient member of this forum. I suggest you to report those accounts to get punishment. Don't be afraid because you are on the side of truth (unless they knew your identity and might revenge).
