Time to pay it forward - giving away 10 Merit points to 'Members'

[cryptothief]

I've managed to reach a nice round number of sMerits to give away, so thought I'd try and help some of my fellow members bump up to the next rank. 10 Merits on offer, so going to give away a maximum of 2 Merit per post I find interesting. Just as a heads up, boards I normally find interesting are the following (not that I will necessarily ignore posts made in other sections):

Bitcoin Discussion, Economics, Trading Discussion, Politics & Society, Beginners & Help, Altcoin Discussion.

No need to post links, if you indicate you want to take part, I will just have a look through the first page of your post history and distribute it accordingly (might go further if I have the time). Going to leave the thread open for a week (till midnight next Friday forum time) to give people a chance to take part. I'll be checking throughout the week and shortlisting as I go along. This is for Member rank only, want to help out people in the same boat as me. I will merit the posts directly after Friday next week, and post links to all posts I have merited on this thread.

NB. If I spot any marinecoin posts in any post history, I will automatically ignore any of that user's posts.

Why is this in Meta?

Everyone does this - that is how the system works.

Move this to Beginners and Help please.

[cryptothief]

My bad. Moved.

Great offer definitely looking for some merit! Take a look at my posts I am sure you will find many merit worthy!

Thanks

Hi. I'm a long-term member (almost 6 years at forums and more that 7 with crypto), mostly a reader and a behind-the-scene contributor in to the crypto community. Now I'm working on creating a recognizable profile here to support the forum and to come back to the public discussion about changes we are bringing to life. My general domain of expertise lays between STEM and Economics, yet I also put a lot of time in social studies to better understand the principles behind the modern society, the changes to be made and the ways to predict and to control  the outcome of such changes. I usually do not waste time or effort for meaningless posts, so the total count is not high and won't grow rapidly, yet I hope to reach the necessary number for a Member status in the near future. I will absolutely appreciate some Merit points, since they are not easy to get. And I will pay them forward whenever there will be a good opportunity.

[noxpost]

I'm definitely interested. Not only have I recently completed the official whitepaper draft for a cryptocurrency I'm involved with (you'll find the link), but I'm also starting to get more into the newbie forums...would love a merit. Thanks for the consideration.

[hoanghai101296]

Everybody tries to get a compliment, thank you. Give praise if you find a worthy person. Again thank you, you are amazing

[HabBear]

Great idea! I'll contribute to your cause, just sent a merit to help fund your effort.

Obviously your criteria for giving out merit is yours and yours alone. What I really like about your plan is that you're targeting Members only (or maybe even newer/lower ranks than that?!). It is tough for many to g their posts considered for merit, and a lot of that is due to the fact that people have to play the game of chasing the biggest merit givers to have the best chance at earning some merit.

Good on you for bringing this opportunity to the people. Good luck.

Good job man and good thing you're giving it to "Members" this feels very grindy on the merit right now going from 10 to 100 (whew!).  Take a look through some of my posts but I got bounties all littered around, so I'll link you some highlights to save you time.  My knowledge specialties are position trading and technical analysis. and the areas I'm currently trying to learn about are the technicals behind bitcoin and the setup process of master nodes.


Some recent topics I feel like I contributed:

Thanks for your consideration and time, either way.

You can see the history of my post, I've commented quite a lot, making the review quite difficult, if you find it difficult to find a post, please mention me listed.

Apologies for the delay in posting, just started a new job and have been kept busy. There were only a few members that posted/messaged, so options were limited, but found a couple that I liked.

atrocityx - has some really interesting posts in the trading discussion section worth checking out (and some in the beginners section too). I picked out this one for merit because I like posts providing a combination of personal opinion and useful links.

jumbo - got a bit lost in some of the posts, but this one seems to be a decent reference point for people who have been victims of scams. Hopefully I won't need to use them, but good to know where to find the information should I need it. Has some other posts probably worth a merit from someone, but this one stood out for me.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3266325.msg34099250#msg34099250

I will keep the thread open anyway and drop back to check for any new posts. Just a reminder, I am specifically looking for 'Member' posts. Newbies and Junior Members only need to get a few merits to rank up to Member, this is to help my fellow Members to make the bigger jump up. There's a couple that posted who may be in with a shout soon, as I see they're already close to moving up to Member. Also, I can only read posts in English, unfortunately posts in another language will not read the same if I just use google translate.

NB. Thanks to Vod and HabBear for the merits on this thread, added another one sMerit that I can pay forward.

[darkangel11]

Keep on doing that. I rarely have time to go through people's posts to decide if they are worth it, I usually give merit to posters that I find entertaining or posts that I find informative, so it's great that you can spare the time to do it. Here, forward some of my merit  
P.S. the amount of merit being awarded is very low IMO. You very rarely see merited posts in threads. It's not like I'm doing a good job here, I'm at fault too, but at least I'm acknowledging that we all should be more active with our merits.

[Raiden0729]

Thank you helping other low ranked members here in the forum, can you also take a look at my post history, few merits can help a lot.

Here are some of my best posts for you to save time searching good posts.

Time to pay it forward - giving away 10 Merit points

Great job, great intentions.
We need to promote giving merit out. I mean, not too much people doing/knowing that its important to raise quality of forum.

[Moiyah]

I am delighted you continue to share and help other members like me to at least rank up. Feel free to view my posts history.

Keep it up!

[cryptothief]

Still open for merits, haven't found anything on this thread since the last time I went through it, but will keep checking back if any members have posted.

[Komorhan]

I prepared an article for beginners. but the value was not worthy. I think interesting and creative writings must be written to be merit-owner. I hope you find those people and give them.

[The Cryptovator]

Great job mate. Take a look on my profile. If I deserve   

[Strufmbae]

Still open for merits, haven't found anything on this thread since the last time I went through it, but will keep checking back if any members have posted.

I'm still looking forward to what would be the purpose of having merit but I already know that it is needed to rank up, I'm still reviewing rules and regulations and I would be watching this thread for future purpose of needing merits.

[cryptothief]

Thank you for taking this initiative. I would like to participate. Please review my post history.

Had a look through the first few pages of your posts, but most are just one liners, and whilst I have merited one liners before, it would only be if they answered a specific question I had asked. Not saying they're not decent posts, just not for me.
