That feeling having your first merit on Bitcointalk

[Kimberl2020]

Welcome to this forum and congratulations for your first merit as well as the rank you have, Jr. member.

With that rank, you can post images but don't upload too much images. Some people with bad internet bandwith will get troubles with images upload and each page with images. If you want to upload images, resize them first.

Merit does not decide your quality or your contributions. Indeed, your contributions and your post quality decide how many merits you will receive.

You're likely not a spammer so please keep up your good works and don't mind much about merit. Merit will find you.

As a newbie, I feel very warm and encouraging when I see your words. As long as I insist on doing valuable things, don't care too much about the number of merits.
If I could bloom like a flower, I am sure butterflies would all come to me.

[Wendy Simth]

Congratulations on your first merit.
I was very surprised when I got the merit for the first time. It was a kind of affirmation and encouragement.
I hope I can provide quality articles to the forum.
let's work hard together.

Seriously it is very annoying being a newbie without merit you can't really talk on bitcoin talk because people believe you are a new to the forum and your decisions those not count apart from that you can't even participate in signature campaign which is very bad because you can make extral cash by participating in signature campaign. The first day I got my first merit I was very happy and I knew that was just the beginning.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

Wow..  I am so much happy for you, but thou, there is always a first time for everything, and you just got your first merit, which I am hoping to get mine very soon... Cheers

One of the things to try to do is to at least skim through most of the thread (except WO and such), to get a general composition on the flow of the conversation, besides the glimpse that the thread’s title may provide on it’s own. Halfway through the second page of this thread we discover that the OP was banned, rendering the joy for the OP’s first merit pretty stale in comparison to his (account’s) final outcome.

I didn’t perceive this, although the somebody referred to me as a newbie, it kind of felt like they’d taken me back to my teens. What’s logically true is that many accounts with a certain rank and presence on the forum will have gained specific knowledge over time that takes a while to achieve, thus helping to make their narrative more fluid on given matters. Of course, we’ll find plenty of counter-examples of illiterate high-ranked accounts, and seasoned newbie accounts.

that's just how it is. if you really want to continue increasing your rank and join a campaign, look for inspiration, tips, etc... there are members here in the forum who registered after the merit system was introduced and is now legendary rank. if I remember correctly they have some advice to all members on what they should do to contribute to the forum and increase their rank at the same time.

had the same feeling

You will get yours in as much as you do not relent in posting and contributing reasonably to people's post.Another way to get merit is by creating threads that are not common in the forum,bringing up something unique and special to the forum will help you get merits too.

Thanks for these last statements in your reply, they are quite encouraging to a newbie like me who is trying to understand more about the forum. I will just keep my head down and continue being as productive as I can be. Merit will surely find me

Because I feel very very much happy right now beyond bounds because it's just like a dream come true finally. And I have no other way to express my happiness but to come share it with you all, because this is indeed the best forum on platform earth anybody can find his or herself, and I am very grateful to be here and promise to contribute massively to the growth of Bitcoin in the best of my ability...


I pledge to Bitcointalk to always create value to it's forum now and always. Amen.🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thanks

 

Congratulations on your merits. .. I think I can understand your mood. . When I got my first merit, I felt a sense of accomplishment and helped others to be recognized, and then the merit gradually increased. I am very happy and thank those who gave me merit. I will always be active in the forum and do my best to help others.

Congratulations on your first merit. Yep, it can be really euphoric and it may lead you into posting better in hopes of gaining another merit.
Merit is addictive. lol

Come on, no offense but I don't think we can call this hard work.. 32 posts in total out of which 10 are in off-topic, 2 are bounty registrations and the majority of others are quite useless .. There's so much space left for you to grow, merits don't come from bounty registrations or useless posts!

Try to actively participate in the community with some useful stuff if you want merits. Read and learn new stuff about Bitcoin and whenever you see some newbie asking a question you know an answer to, jump in and help. If I were to count all your posts since December, you'd have about 6-7 posts per month.. that's 1, max 2 per week! How do you expect merits to come when you don't even post much at all?

Good luck m8, but I really suggest you to spend more time here if you want to receive some merit

In my opinion, this is not the best way to encourage newcomers, as I think your comment belittles an achievement that he is very proud of. We must educate, not intimidate newcomers.

You are a gentle person and I am very happy to see your warm words. Learn from you.

[jamyr]

You are a gentle person and I am very happy to see your warm words. Learn from you.

If you are referring to me, I am only this warm and gentle when I'm sober.



if you want to learn, I have nothing much to offer, but to point you in the right kind of people where you can learn stuff, just look for people wearing a Chipmixer signature coz most of the time if not always, very informational and I also look up to them to learn.


this would suck a lot if I am not the person you're referring to.

[juliepower]

Having my first merit I feel so happy that day and it makes me more hardworking to post. But i feel your post quality and learning is most important. So focus on your hard work and keep learning more about Bitcoin so that your post performance get higher quality. 🙂🙏

Your current 10 Merits were airdropped (so as to say) when the Merit System kicked-off, so as to preserve the rank at the time the system was introduced. You’ve really yet to "earn" a Merit (i.e. be merited by someone), which is what the thread is on about mostly. You did manage to sent 1 sMerit though to @goku19.

This made me laugh when he/she did mention getting merit. This is quite true that this person did earn merit from airdrop merits and not earning merit through posting or creating a thread which is merit worthy. An old account which didn't even know the implementation of the merit system and just post right away stating that he/she earn merit from other forum users where it didn't happen at all. 

[Ozymon]

I will never forget the moment when the first time I received a merit, it gave me an eager feeling to create more and more topic.

A time goes, I went vacuum because of some real life problems, and here I am, went back after several months.

[Peanutswar]

It's better if by days come you have an improvement to the forum even your contents because this helps you to get more merit at the first step it's too hard because you will get a lot of negative thoughts why the higher rank got merit even a small piece of information. If your contents are more creative and helpful for sure merit will come. Always keep yourself improve I start with the merit system too but I reach this rank because of having a different helpful thread. Good luck with your journey avoid getting involved in off topics.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Congratulations mate, I understand the feeling, I can totally relate, and for me, it's not just the first merit, every merit brings that same level of joy and motivation cus it's an assurance or confirmation that the content created is valued by the one or those who merited it, it motivate one to want to do even more, create even more content that are helpful to every individual that comes across it.

So the thing is that we all should strive to add real value to the forum through the stuffs we post, don't post just to increase post count but post because you have meaningful information to share or meaningful questions to ask, as long as we keep to this rule, the forum will continue to show appreciation through various means which earning merit is one of them.

[Nathrixxx]

It's quite surprising and exciting, especially when you least expect a merit and miraculously it came, to me it gives me more fortitude to forge ahead to doing better and going bigger, if someone can achieve that then I can do better, the only requirement is to obey and follow instructions.
Honestly on my first day to receive merit, i feel like calculating the number of merit I would have gotten within a month and the respective exchanges and I begin to think of the possibility of having a better future on this forum

[Luffygroove]

Oh God, I can feel how you feeling because I just experienced it yesterday. It was an awesome feeling lol. All this time I usually attended threads on the Alternate Cryptocurrencies only, then yesterday I start to decide to level up my game and try to be more active on other threads too.

Apparently, I think I found a way slowly to gain merits. if I may to give one tip I can give to beginners or people like me, is to discuss on Beginners & Help threads. If we can give a good contribution by answering people needs help or offering great opinion probably people will see our efforts and give us merits. Try to find a thread with low responses and answer it your best, so higher rank people who usually give merits can see it and if they like it, they can give you merits. I'm grateful for the merits and also motivated to contribute better. I can't wait to learn more and be more confident to start to make a useful thread.

[Gunday_07]

Don't take merits too seriously, just keep contributing and before you know it many merits will rain down on you, focus more on making good contributions, 1 merit isn't something to create topic about honestly

[ali1177]

Congratulations dear I can understand how much excited you are because I have gone through the same phase when I got my first merit I was like flying in the sky after a lot of research lot's of hardwork I got my first merit and I will tell you should do more research so you will get more merit which will pushed you to a good rank.
