Welcome officially to bitcointalk you will have a easy time fitting in since you have been lurking around for long. Merits is like karma, merit is awarded for quality posts. Some users are very generous with their merits. Merit is not hard to get

Merit is very easy to get once you follow the rules of this forum and make sure you post and comment a reasonable post and make sure your post make sense for other people to gain from it.

Welcome

I want to know how do we earn merits ?

Why did you ask about merit first?

• Newbies - Read before posting
• Merit & new rank requirements
• Writing a welcome message

I don't tell you exactly what you should do but I give you three topics to read. As a newbie, you have many time to read because you have limitation of 6 minutes between two posts.

Three topics above contain the information you asked for and even more. If you feel like that are too long to read, it means you will not deserve to earn merit.

Highly appreciate your replies here.

First of all read all rules. Pay attention to it, and observed here in forum. Merits are associated or important unit of forum, this represent the outlook of some members here about your post and replies. A member received merit if he/she did a good post or interact, contributed something useful here.

Welcome and have a nice journey.

Earning merit is not easy. A user can give Merit to others only if he has received Merit himself first. If you have a close look, you will recognize that merit is produced by the founding users of Bitcointalk and their close circle. But still you can have it if you have high quality posts and replies on a regular basis.

boss, what you wrote is not newbie knowledge. This post is your great initiative to tell the others that you are not newbie.

merit is for quality post and somewhat posts are made with efforts from posters. Sometimes people give merit not because the quality of post is high.

merit does not relate to merit cycling or exchanging by its design.

If you want to maximize your rank, then you need to increase two statistics which are listed on your profile:

• Merit, which is gained by making good posts.

If you make ten thousand posts in a week, your activity will be capped and you will still be a Newbie. If you make ten thousand useless posts over any period of time, you will gain zero merit and you will still be a Newbie. You can rank up only by making good posts consistently. It's quality over quantity.

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.

There are literally hundreds of topics on the matter here (search around on Beginners & Help and you’ll see), and even some options to practically guarantee earning a bunch with just a few (albeit interesting) technical skills that can be obtained with a bit of effort. Regardless, the prime method is simply to create interesting enough content here and there, and that accounts for things like questions, answers, information, criticisms, helping others, well-versed opinions and so forth.

Not really. There are many Merit Sources that are rather newish to the forum, being just two or three years old, with likely lack of connections to anyone previously here.

Welcome to bitcoin mate. The first thing you should do is to read the rules and guidelines. It is written there about what is merit and its purposes.

Well regarding about merits, you can get merit naturally by making high quality post that contains useful information to help others but other than that you can actually get merits by posting in a thread where they give merits. You just have to follow their rules. I've been a newbie and it really helped me.

I will give the opportunity why don't try posting here, this can help you in getting merits.

This forum is not about merit, it is about posting about bitcoin and crypto generally, merit is just an aspect that makes this forum posts to have quality and nothing more than that. Which means you will need to learn more about bitcoin, check what good posters are posting, learn from them, make researches and enjoy your interaction on this forum. Your posting quality will determine your merit, the more you grow the more you will know more.

[Mpamaegbu]

Besides all the links and pieces of advice given you here, the best way to earn merit to the best of my perspicacity will be to make posts with the intention of making someone else benefit from your knowledge without expecting anything in return. Your posts should come from a place of comfort and ease with research marks on them.

On the other hand, I'm one of the few who believe that merits aren't completely bestowed as a mark of post quality in the general sense because what makes for quality to User A won't be for User B or C or D. So, every individual user has what constitutes quality for them. It's a subjective issue. However, concentrate on my first paragraph and you should be alright.

You don't need to focus on earning merit as this is not merittalk.org but bitcointalk forum. You have to change your goal right now to read, study and share then meritd will find a way to you. To start doing that, read the rules and where to start. That also depends on what you wanted to learn first. I'll provide you some links to read. You can also read this thread by Ratimov https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5361262.0

These are the links of the thread that you can read first. Hope that helps.

I completely agree with you, a purpose of this forum is allow each user express themselves freely and share perspectives based on different exposures, thinking and mindsets on majorly bitcoin related topics and then other topics. If a user like me find your post or comment beneficial to me in some way i may decide to give you a merit.

So IMHO there is no fixed way to earn merit other than to be of benefit in your contribution to someone through original and well composed post and comments in the forum.

The common question which is asked thousand of times before. Better to read previous topic about Merits by using search Function .

Btw in one world to get merit Efforts are playing a good role. The more you give efforts the more chance of earning merit. So I would suggest you to first read all the rules and take a about it, then try to spend your time to give efforts on which you have good knowledge.

Hi 11Revenger11, welcome to the bitcointalk.org family.
Already enough has been said on how to earn merits and rank high here. I will add my few cents here, never lose patience if you are not getting merits. Try to post quality contents and for that best is to read and analyze posts that are getting merits. This will definatly be a big help. Good luck
