I have joined this forum recently and I would like to share my experience about "bitcointalk" and new "merit system". When I was joined, I'm only worried about "how to earn merits". Actually I'm looked for
easy methods even
shortcuts. Then one day I got a nice reply from a senior member regarding what are the things that i can learn from this forum ( actually totally free) and how to use "
search" function. Now I am addicted to learn new things regarding cryto field even other fields too. I feeled this forum like a free version of encyclopedia. The things I have learned from this short period of time are as follows which I believed helpful for new coming members.
- There are no "easy method" or "shortcuts" to earn merits( Even life). Don't worry about earning merits, gaining merit is a side benefit. You just need to contribute to the forum by helping other members.
- I think this forum is driven by sharing each others knowledge and experience. So always try to help other members while you are learning.
- Try to use "search" function before posting.
- Since this is a international forum, as members we should have some English litaracy in order to better interaction with other members. ( But there are local boards that you can share and learn from your native language too).
- Don't post unnecessarily and clog the threads if you don't have anything to say.
- I think better off from bounty sections( at least few months from joining) which gives you extra time for reading.
- Don't hesitate to use "report to moderator" funtion which helps to make forum at least less spam.( I have reported 32 reports with 100% accuracy)
I further likes to share my bookmarked list of threads which I believed helpful for new comers too.
