How can I increase my merit?

[XenoFever]

I know that this is not the thing that I should mind first because I am still a beginner, I should prioritize first on gaining knowledge here, as what I commonly read in many other posts, but I think asking is also a form of learning, so I don't see bad things by asking some question like this, which is really need to know of the beginners, based on what I have read on some posts, merit is significant for us to increase our ranks, is this really true?

This forum is an excellent thing about gaining knowledge and earning money, so I want to have these two, so please can you help me with this question, Thank you in advance.

You asked a similar question yesterday and you got some helpful replies with member trying to correct some of the misconceptions which you have about the forum and the motive people have for registering on it.

based on what I have read on some posts, merit is significant for us to increase our ranks, is this really true?

Yes, it is. Merit and activity score are combined to determine your rank, but you could have found this information with a little research. You would have also found the answer to the 'how you can increase your merit question' through a little research.
That is the reason you should prioritize knowledge first. Read and learn. There are many facets of this industry and exploring all will allow you properly utilize it.

based on what I have read on some posts, merit is significant for us to increase our ranks, is this really true?

You must have required both activity and merit to increase your rank, not merit only. If you have requirement merit for legendary ( 1000 merit ) but you not have activity requirement for that rank, you will not rank up to legendary. Example of this member nullius
He have 1300+ merit but only have 252 activity. His rank is Senior member now, to reach Hero member (480 activity) he must wait for 4 months, and to reach Legendary he must wait for 8 -12 months more.

Back to the topic How can I increase my merit?
For short... Create constructive, useful, and high quality post
Here are some guide to get merit :
Newbie's Guide to Getting Merit (Proven)
Guide to earning merits
TMAN'S guide to getting merit.

What is constructive and high quality post?

Constructive reply means discussion on topic and make best answer or solution. For example someone ask how can I save my wallet, your reply should on this topic and you can share your tips. If its unique and best idea then I will consider it's a Quality post.

Keep in mind, The best way to earn merit is Forget about merit and start contributing on this forum as much as you can . Merit is subjective, people will give you merit if they think your post is useful and helpful for members or forum.

but I think asking is also a form of learning, so I don't see bad things by asking some question like this

Yeah, asking is not a bad thing. Before create a thread, you must use the search button for finding your question is have been discussed or not. If the topic have been discussed you should not create a same topic.

[Unplugged]

Its true that you should first learn more about btc (or other coins itself) through reading in this forum.

Now, to increase merit - you should put up great quality posts that will also be helpful and informative to other users, especially the beginners. Then wait, if other users liked your post they'll give you merits.

So remember to always give contributory posts to this forum.

[Wexnident]

Just read, answer, create topics and the like. It's a very general answer yes, but that's really the only thing needed to get merits. No amount of "guides" could help you earn them. Why? Because it's all entirely dependent on how you face the topics and threads you participate in. Just like how English is naturally built up over time, knowledge, as well as proper formats of replying and posting (so that you aren't a bother to the rest of the members of the forum), takes time, so well, just spend a few hours in the forum participating and reading.

There's also the factor of you taking in experience from just reading like learning grammar based on various answers made, learning proper formats, learning how and when to quote and the like. Though simpl answering the question you asked, well, it's time.

[The Cryptovator]

If you really want to increase your merits then I will suggest, don't create thread about merits unless you have unique analysis or something similar. So many guidelines have been created by senior members about how to earn merits. So please learn how to use search button before you make any new topic. Sometimes your new topics would encourage spammers.

However, there is no alternative way to increase your merits except contributions. As much you contribute your knowledge & experiences, you would get more merits if posts are really worthy. So don't give up, try to contribute yourself and don't look for merits.

First thing you need to do is to read this guide created by Lauda https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0

After that try to be more reconstructive and post a helpful contents so that you will be notice by users and you will receive a merit for that. Remember the more helpful post the more chances for you to get those merits.

And also be true to yourself here and study on how the forum works since this one will help you.

Goodluck and welcome to bitcointalk.

[UserU]

Based on both of your topics opened, it's obvious you're simply trying to join for the sake of money.

Now bear in mind that while it's not impossible to start earning here, you have to integrate yourself with the community, rather than post for the sake of posting. Be helpful when it's needed and don't make posts along the lines of "gimme Merit plz". I was like you back then because getting paid to post was something new, but over time, I learnt to treat the forum as a casual hangout space and enjoy spending time here.

So assuming you've attained sufficient Merits to join a campaign, which is at the Member rank. Currently at the time of posting, you're 7 points short so your journey might not take too long. There are many signature campaigns out there, but many impose strict conditions, such as minimum character counts of 75, posts not counting in several subforums and such.

Once you've decided to apply for one, the campaign manager will look at your post history. Merits earned within X days might also be considered. The moment you've been accepted, you're good to go, but remember the rules and don't come off as a spammer of a shitposter.

If you've any doubts while joining the campaign, always contact the campaign manager. While there are various degrees of leniency, usually all it takes is 2 strikes and you're out.

TL;DR - Don't treat this forum as a money-making machine and you'll do fine.

[Henri Cartier]

Instead of just posting threads like these - How can I earn from this forum? or How can I increase my merit?, focus on posting quality threads. If you post quality posts on this forum, you would receive the merits automatically and increase your rank.

As @UserU said, once you achieve a Member rank, you can join some signature campaigns to earn money.

[SourLemonX]

You already have some merit, which is a good sign to keep working on this forum, although I don't understand why you get the merit for that post 

[hatshepsut93]

Forget about merit, it shouldn't be your goal, right now for a newbie like you the first priority should be learning about crypto. Once you become knowledgeable enough, you can start earning merit while just sharing your knowledge. But if you'll try to jump straight into "earning merit" you will fail, I see a lot of newbies try to do so by copypasting from outside sources or creating guides that were written before them countless times - obviously no one will give you a lot of merit for that. In worst cases you can even get banned for plagiarism or text-spinning.

[Bonwin]

Do not expect to get merit on every post you make, no matter how good it is. You might be surprised that the post that some of your posts that seem not too worth awarding merit to, might end up getting. However, learn more to provide help to those who are in need of help on the forum or if you think some information is lacking on the forum, you can decide to provide such.
Give yourself to serving than being served. By so doing, you might end up getting so many merits than you can imagine.

Just be useful and helpful. People often intend to misinterpret having merit and having a good post. Some posts were just funny and still meritable. Some do makes no sense but still meritted because some users found it to have some sense.

Therefore, never motivate yourself with earning merit. But instead be motivated helping other users!

[Thekool1s]

How can I increase my merit?

By stopping to think about it.

[LbtalkL]

I guess its better for you not to think about gaining merits just behave normally, communicate with other members normally, help them if you know the answer to their questions. Create useful threads but use search button first before creating a thread it might already exist, you can also help your local members at local board. But those are not required to be a good member of the forum. Also, be knowlegeable about forum rules. Merits will come your way don't be pressure about it.

[virasog]

Gaining knowledge is easy here because you will find all and complete information about bitcoin, altcoin or any crypto project or gambling sites etc. Earning is not and should not be the primary motive here. Also you need to rank up in order to earn from campaigns unless you have some skills for which you do not have to wait for ranking up. You have got 3 merits and will continue to get more as long as you posts are interesting or helpful to others.

[proTECH77]

What OP meant was, how can I increase my merit earning? Which many gullible forum members has just analyzed to what can make him have more merit and rank up.

[XenoFever]

You must have required both activity and merit to increase your rank, not merit only. If you have requirement merit for legendary ( 1000 merit ) but you not have activity requirement for that rank, you will not rank up to legendary. Example of this member nullius

Thanks for that mate, I need this one, even though I am a beginner here, I already want to know how will I earn from it, because it will motivate me for making some quality posts in this forum. I have been looking for the right answers for too long, and you answered me so well, so I am thankful for that.

I have searched about merit in this forum, but no result shows, so I thought there are no posts about this yet. As what you have shared about that link, there are already three posts to have merit in this platform, and based on what I have read, they are all saying that I need to stay here for too long and keep creating quality posts, so if someone finds it is so helpful or useful then they might give me merit.

[DdmrDdmr]

<…> I have searched about merit in this forum, but no result shows, so I thought there are no posts about this yet.

You’re kidding right? The following query on Google retrieves an overwhelming amount of results (the forum’s search function brings back a tremendous amount as expected, and you need to play around with the filters to get a well focused set of results):

Code:

site:bitcointalk.org merit

<…> so if someone finds it is so helpful or useful then they might give me merit.

That is how it (often) goes. Nevertheless, one of the non-written rules is not to ask/beg for merit. It’s actually rather counterproductive to do so (or at least you need to be a bit more subtle about it).

I'm just a little curious about this issue, what if these people know each other, they often give each other merit? How to prevent abuse. It is like asking for merit
