I checked first two pages of your post history and it's clear that you mainly posts on altcoin related boards. Do you think your posts deserve merit/s? Then submit it at @CryptopreneurBrainboss merit giveaway thread ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5210222.0) He's one of the few high rank members who merit altcoin related topics. Don't forget to read the rules he set though.
My personal suggestion for you is to explore/read other parts of the forum. It's not that altcoin boards are bad, it's just that most merit sources rarely visits them because it's a spamfest. Do you have any other interest? Your twitter profile says you're a poker guy. There's the gambling board in case you want to discuss with other poker players. By the way, this topic doesn't belong to altcoin board. Perhaps it's better suited for Off-Topic.

I checked your posts and I did not found any of them that deserve one single merit. Posts in bounty thread reporting link, are in the rank of spam. it is not read by managers either and especially not old high ranked members or merit sources. When you post in other section than bounty, it's mostly part of some pointless discussion on useless mega threads, which also no one reads or is interested in. These threads serve to fulfil post quota for signature campaigns. You need to stop with posting just to write something here, try to be active in discussion and talk with other members here. As @Bttzed03 says, find something that is close to your personal interests and find topics about it, then discuss there, be constructive. It can be gambling, poker or whatever. You are registered here Feb. 2018 not "since 2017", and you are offline from 27.November 2018 until 20. August 2020, then when you come again, just reposted one of your post two years old. Which is, by the way, the only article from Steemit. you seem to consider us idiots so you're copy/paste some old news for us, you still expect someone to praise you for it. this is the digital age and Bitcointalk with people here is one of the most advanced. You can't sell us garbage here. edit: This topic probably belongs to the Meta section

My advice would not be anything different. If you are looking to rank up you need both activity and merit. While gaining enough merits to rank up may be difficult for some users it is not impossible.
What you should do is go through other sections of the forum and seek out threads that need a proper reply or information. Some merit sources may appreciate that and merit you.
Post in threads where you feel something needs to be added and not just because you want to post. Don't be obsessed with merits though. It can drive you nuts if you look at the numbers too much.

Earning merit is not child's play dude, you got to work harder, think better, spread your discussion above 2 or 3 areas, with reasonable contributions, the moderator's eye are really everywhere for us to get our proper recommendation. It was even easier before 2018 to get merit and new rank, but now it is more demanding. Many people ignored posting during the bear market and now that the market is improving they are fighting for merits, hmmm. It can't work that way. Those who kept the post on are here.

The first is thing to do is to have your mind far off gaining merits, make facilitating posts in the forum, read and understand the sticky/pinned posts in threads and also get yourself familiarized with the forums rules and regulations, then boom! you'll see yourself gaining merits even without knowing!

A lot of member having trouble earning merits but thats because it is hard to do so, but its because some users dont do quality posting. Merits are subjective but also if your post has been like by others even its only a simple answer to such inquiry or have humor thoughts. Someone will definitely merited you. Dont post on a thread that you dont have knowledge about, instead focus on threads that certainly you know what you will post. Avoid also posting or spamming.

Maybe start with posting actual helpful and constructive content. You won't be able to earn merit just by increasing your post count and activity count alone. Your posts must be worthy enough to actually receive merit. It's something like a Janitor asking why he's not earning the same wages as a manager. Something like that. Not trying to be rude, but that's the only example I can think of right now.
I suggest doing some actual reading about Bitcoin. Once Bitcointalk readers notices that your posts are actually good enough, then you'll receive merit. Best of luck!

Merit & new rank requirementsI'm hoping that this system will increase post quality by: - Forcing people to post high-quality stuff in order to rank up. If you just post garbage, you will never get even 1 merit point, and you will therefore never be able to put links in your signature, etc. - Highlighting good posts with the "Merited by" line.
Do you think you have a single post that meets the first hope of theymos? Writing a welcome messageIf you view the forum as some sort of "job" where you complete some basic tasks and get paid, then you will almost certainly be disappointed, and the forum administration will not be sympathetic. If you do make money using the forum, then it will be through innovation and entrepreneurship, not any sort of mindless busywork. Forum rankWhen you start out, you are a Newbie, and you will run into various annoying limits. These limits will be reduced to the point where you shouldn't usually notice them after you have participated in the forum for a few weeks. If you are on the forum to talk, then that's all you really need to know about rank. Don't worry about it too much, and you will eventually rank up. If you want to maximize your rank, then you need to increase two statistics which are listed on your profile: - Activity, which is maximized by posting once per day on average. Posting more than that is useless in raising your activity.
- Merit, which is gained by making good posts.

If you know what you are saying or at least have some basic knowledge with respect to a certain topic, then you can definitely earn that merit without you expecting it. Perhaps, it would not hurt you so much if you can spend some time reading articles, bitcoin posts, and any other crypto related stuff that will establish your capacity to contribute on a meaningful discussion later on. The thread below contains good discussion with regards to your concern created by @mu_enrico[1] Newbie's Guide to Getting Merit (Proven)

Getting merits isn't an easy task, for it you need to share some good quality content on the forum, some hot news or useful tools... But you need to post in other sections of the forum, if you only post in altcoin discussion promoting your steemit account, then you will never get merits. Share your ideas in boards like Trading Discussion, Bitcoin Discussion, Project Development, and you will get some merits for sure if the ideas are good and clear. By the way, i think the fact that you are worried about merits deserves one merit, so, good luck and remember, while more involved you get with the community, faster you will grow...

I think you can really struggle with the merit if you are just a member who is focusing on the bounties because the merits are only given to the member who has a good, quality, and constructive post no one will give merit by just sending reports.
Also according to your post, you are a member since 2017 so you will have a lot of time to make a lot of research and understanding what are the possibilities you can contribute to our forum many members left you behind and got their rank up to a full member above.
Hopefully, right now you enlighten that you need to have merit too to rank up. Merits reflect your good contribution.

Yeah, it looks like op is just focusing on altcoin boards, and I agree with @Bttzed03 that, why not try exploring more section here in the forum op? Also, op already said that he's a member here since 2017 (though he registered in 2018) and I doubt that he has not realized why he doesn't have merits. Op, might as well want to try observing why others get merits and what's with their posts that you don't have. Try giving more quality posts and for sure there's someone who might appreciate and find your post useful and give you the merit you are looking for.

Earning merits is really a reward for your hardwork, reward for you effort and patience. You don't need to beg for it, you should work for it. If you think that you deserve it, then never hesitate to do extra every time you make a posts. Make a quality discussion, quality posts, and reliable information that will help each and everyone of us in this forum become updated and knowledgeable about the cryptocurrency industry and the world. It is not that bad to urge for a merit, but I want you to know that never rush things because it will come to you in the right time.

I think all of us are rooting for a merit, it is impossible for you to not take merit as your motive. It is nice to build a reputation and trust for some other users because that will help you grow in this forum. You just need to do what you need to do in order to become a reliable user here. Answering some facts, stating some reality and truths about the surroundings. Sharing quality opinions and information will make you earn merit once you justify yourself with that. Newbies are impatient with that, as soon as possible, just do your thing, and little by little you will achieve what you want.

Well you’ve got one now, so the OP has served it’s purpose. To move on from there, there are plenty of tips in the posts in this thread, but it all boils down to putting some effort and time into creating content. There are of course topics, styles and better places to post than others, and Altcoins is not one of them. If you’re into numbers, take a look here to get some insights, and then contrast with the content being created (numbers do not speak for the content, they just point to it): BitcoinTalk Merit Dashboard.

Start by forgetting the altcoin section if merit is your desire. No one has any there to give out. After that try a post that is more than a redirect to Steemit. Looks like most of what you're linking to is your writing, but your writing isn't on this forum, it's over there.

Is not about the trouble of getting merit, the problem is people -even merit sources- finding it hard to find post/what to merit. Make it easy by contributing/making post good enough now don't make more merit post, rather make post that can/or will get merit.

Not always true because there are merit sources in altcoin sections, from tk08 to Cryptopreneurbainboss. I also received some of my merits in altcoins boards. So at the end, boards don't play as barriers to earn merit,. The barriers are quality of posts and contributions posters out in their posts. I earned my merits from Altcoin discussion and Service discussion not bounties. Overview on DeFiETH/ERC20 - Check and select good Gas price

Generally, from my experience I can say that forum members are very fair here and if you write good quality posts they will reward you with merits. You even have many merit giveaway topics where you can report your good quality posts and ask merits. Honestly, if you couldn't get any merit until now, than check your approach here, where you write posts, what you write etc.
