It's not hard to get merited on this forum, instead of begging which I'm sure you will get nailed for by mean members who can insult everything that passes their way just make sure you contribute and help others, I believe that those asking for merits from others believe it's so hard to get merit but it's not
If you have the mindset of earning merits for the sole purpose of ranking your account to join campaign signatures, then receiving merits would be significantly difficult. But if you have the mindset of contributing in the forum by sharing your knowledge, experience, or expertise in a certain subject about cryptocurrencies, then people would appreciate your post which would garner you merits.
Begging for merits would lead you nowhere. You would just contribute to the spam and people would avoid your post and just move on. Instead of chasing merits, contribute something worth-it and merits would be the one chasing you.
