Earning your first merit

[GeorgeJohn]

Congrats!.... That's the reward for a good job , which means that anything you find yourself doing, you should do it to the best of your ability , wish you well .
And smithing that can cause or attract Merit is base on proper research and personal knowledge which can be impact into one another without misleading them, really merit is been given through hard work of users because it's a reward that showed that you as a user is developing in different ramifications of cryptocurrency related information or messages.

Congratulations on your first merit OP. I'm sure it was a pleasant experience for you. I wish I feel the same soon.

Congrats but you don't have to make your topic as announcement for your first merit

Having first merit I really feel so happy  and it makes me more hardworking, creative to post.  And I assure to the forum  that  they  will not regret  for giving my first merit
butt sadly to say I don't have any merits heheheheh .

Creative posts don't mean they are good posts. Length, creativeness are not contributors for your post quality. New ideas are not creative posts. If you don't have new ideas, creative posts can not help.

When trying to write quality posts, a lot of people act as though they're writing a book report for school: putting facts that we already know into their own words. Nobody wants to read that, and you will not get merit for it. Moreover, the length of your post and the quality of your English are only minor factors. In trying to write a quality post worthy of merit, you should offer new ideas, personal experiences, or perspectives that other forum users will actually find new and interesting.

Again congrats for your first merit.

I think he's just happy with his first achievement here in this forum especially that merit is not that easy to gain.

It is good to celebrate your achievement and we're hoping that you will not settle on that kind of achievement.

Help yourself grow and achieve more merits by making quality and informative post that we will all benefit.

Getting the first merit does have a different impression and of course we might not know if the post we can get merit.
I also experienced it too.
And, getting merit for the first time could support me to work better, learn more actively how to make good posts, constructive, informative, not out off topics, and also help answer questions with helpful information.

ANd from this, we can learn that actually getting merit is not as difficult as we thought as long as we really do the good posts.

 I've been posted yesterday night before I sleep. When I woke up and open bitcoin talk and check my post I'm shock  2 people merited it. This is my first merit  I cannot figure out my emotions when I saw that they give it to me.

Its too hard  earning merit from the word itself (Merit) meaning the quality of being particularly good, especially so as to deserve praise or reward.

But nothing is impossible you must  take time to the forum and post it all of your heart  other people will give you merit.

Thank you for sending me I really appreciate you and I assure that I cannot stop what I've started.

There is this joy that comes with merits. And there is something about merit. Merit comes when you least expected it. That is to say, you might spend a quality time on a post in order to make it quality in order to attract merits, but by the end of the day, you will see no merit.
On the other, you can make a post you didn't expect merits from and you would be merit.
So, it is important to make a quality post always.
Congratulations

and rejoined crypto industry this year

[CryptoYar]

Congrats, but from where you have earned merit it isn't a difficult thing. you only have to send a signed message from your Bitcoin address. That's not actually hard to do it.

Anyway, If you want to earn 4 more merits by doing another easy task then go to this thread [Merit] Hey Bitcoiners! Can You Send Encrypted Messages?

It will help you to achieve member rank. Good luck

Congrats, but don't look into it too much. Merits are just another way of saying 'good post'. Some people might find it useful, some people don't, so it's really a subjective thing. Rather than just posting, try posting useful crypto-related stuff that will be of value to some people. And don't worry if merits don't come, just keep on delivering good content and good things will come.

Newbie here and no merit yet. Pretty crazy and daunting seeing people with hundreds of merits.

Well, better late than never coming to this forum! Crypto is still young, hope to learn and contribute.

Now you got two so don't see the hundreds as an impossible tasks, we all started from somewhere with some little motivation and we earned our way to be among the tops. A quick review on your account and it was looking decent. Thought I'll come across the typical newbie account that's flooded with bounty tasks, but no yours is different although need improvement.

Just keep working on yourself and improve on your engagement with posts that's quite educational to members of the forum and in no time, you'll start getting the recognition (rewards) you deserve for your contribution.

Ps: Feels good to be back where it all began, having more free time so my engagement on this board will increase and hopefully I can find worthy posts to award merit, I'm back.

Hi! Newbie here ive read that you can earn merit by doing some activities. Is there any other way to earn merit, and whats the purpose of merit.
Thank you for the one who will answer

Hey gagika,

You gain Merits from contributing posts that are deemed helpful/ informative by the community itself, like scam busting (exposing scams), interesting facts and figures, giveaways, etc... you get the idea:

List of scams exposed by Rikafip. 130+ and counting!
Updated List of Bitcointalk Hidden Pages/Post

An alternative, albeit harder to come by is to post your contributions on Merit giveaway threads such as this one hosted by nutildah. They help lower-ranked members to earn their recognition:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5338649.0

Merits are implemented as a barrier to ranking up or an incentive to contributors rather than shitposters because previously many members rose the ranks solely from Activity (time spent on the forum). This in turn also helps campaign managers to pick choice candidates for signature campaigns (get paid to post).

since UserU already said what you should do in order to earn merits, I suggest reading this Newbies - Read before posting. that thread will help you get accustomed to the forum and I reccomend visiting the forum rules thread(which you can find on that thread) the forum rules will help you know what to do and not do in the forum.

my personal opinion is that don't get yourself too wrapped up in earning merits, there have been a lot of members that have gotten discouraged since they don't get merit even though they are posting consistently.

Congratulations on your first merit. You’ve just taken the first step on how to become a valuable and helpful member of this amazing community.

If you really wanted to get merits naturally and organic, you need to do the following:

1. Remove your mentality in posting just for merits.
2. Always treat merit as bonus. Never expect that all of your helpful posts get merited.
3. Create helpful topics and advice for the community.
4. If you’re alert of the latest news being posted and wasn’t shared here yet on Bitcointalk, do share it along with the source link (always give credit to the original source when sharing).
5. Do crypto charity or humanitarian stuff (I believe that a lot of posts showing crypto charity work w/ pictures get merited)
6. Hunt down scams and expose them here for us to become aware (make sure you follow the format when reporting it in the Scam Accusations section).

Most important of all, just put it in your mind that there will be no guarantees that your helpful posts are gonna be merited. Just focus on being a valuable member by following the rules and not gonna spam, etc., and merits are just gonna come by a surprise.

Its too hard  earning merit from the word itself (Merit) meaning the quality of being particularly good, especially so as to deserve praise or reward.

Merit has no value nowadays so don't let it defines what you want or how quality you post as it does not count towards quality, sometimes I merit a post just because I want to exhaust my smerits and I found a post funny or interesting. Sometimes it not all about quality but feelings. Anyways congratulations and keep it up.

Merit values can never depreciates provided that the community is concern, so the values of Merit system is what determine the elevation of evey members, so portraying the fact that merit is valueless, it will reduce the internal motive or the mentality of the newbies to starting thinking merit is trader by better, and it's been awarded base on charity or mutual relationship between two parties, so it obvious that awarding merit is base on quality and constructive post

quality, sometimes I merit a post just because I want to exhaust my smerits and I found a post funny or interesting. Sometimes it not all about quality but feelings. Anyways congratulations and keep it up.

Bro in normal circumstances and protocols of the community merit is not been giving because you wants to discharge or exhaust your smerit, it's only meant for user whose contribution is meaningful and also add values to the community, so with such concept, it's the major reason people have to research and bring more procedures that will enhance or render help for solution of cryptocurrency in any form.
So the quality of post, merit will be awarded to a such user, and it's not necessary that everyone will award the Merit the same time, because it's differs for individual understanding via the post before awarding of merit.

I've been both here and Reddit, and most of the time I see merits as like the Award system.
Most of the time I award Silver award at that site. Here in the forum when I choose a post to merit at, I see myself awarding that same award.  I don't just give it away because I like to "exhaust" my sMerit as well.

That's the scenario i really wanted @Mistafreeze to comprehend, because the word exhausting merit really shows that his merit is really giving out or award without proper qualification, so i think such impression have to be corrected, so that the younger once that's new to the system will not adopt such a policy thinking it's worthy to emulate, so in summary we have to understand while merit is innate to the community and the methods we have to apply for awarding merit to avoid miss management of our Smerit.
