Someone contacted me in PM on TG asking Merit points for Eth, or Btc. I was feeling like playing around a little, so I searched on Google "Merit ICO" and the first thing I found was
https://www.meritscores.io/ Than I reply back to the guy saying that it's
$0.40 per Merit and Minimum purchase is
100 Merit. Useless to say he was thrilled and immediately asked for my Eth address without even thinking it twice. He would even send the money first in a sign of good faith.
But was very disappointed when I send him the website page for the purchase
Even though to TG groups are not very chatty like it was 8 months ago with all the crypto noobs and their moon rocket sticker every 2 comments, there are still new ways to have some fun
Such individual is not ready to pick up this challenge headlong in order to acquire the merit from the right source, rather choose to buy what will pose a big threat to his/her account if found to posses it illegally. As for me i will ensure i merit it from my contribution to this great forum.
You are right at your place that what if it turns out to be illegal. But my question is that was the merit system ,introduced in beginning of 2018, fair for each person in the forum. As according to me ,though it was a good decision but it was unfair. The full member was awarded 100 merit and member was awarded 10 merit in accordance with their ranks , whereas, the junior member was given zero merit. I would have appreciated the merit system more if it had done the following merit distribution:~
Full member - 100
Member - 50
Junior member - (atleast) 1 to 10
This would have given junior members at leat some hope of getting higher ranks but it was not so. Also now because of the demotion, junior members have completely shattered.
