That is one of the ways the merit stuff works.
No.
I think it is for constructive posting and comments.
And that only.
Spent a couple of hours trying to find trustful escrow on BTT. I need to OTC sell some tokens from MEW. Will merit you if you help me and everithing will go ok!
It takes only a few seconds to find one if you know where to look for them. Would vouch for Hhampuz here for being a solid campaign manager and an active member in the collectibles section.
Please note that merit is not supposed to be a method of micro-transaction in the forum for making others do your baby sitting jobs like looking for people to escrow while you sleep.
