How Become a Legendary? **Useful list** 🔸Updated🔸

[YOSHIE]

As a new member, how long do I have to wait to gain the trust of the members of the forum ?

This depends on the activities you do on this forum with other members, an example of the trust you get from other members: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=2909527, if you trade or buy and sell Items on this forum you gain trust very fast.

What kind of posts should I leave to progress faster?

the post you should leave like this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2909527;sa=showPosts;start=20 and which you have to upgrade like the members are here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0

How long does it take to become a Legendary?

System (Merit) that answers this question.

One of the co-requisites for the Rank is Activity, which is not the same as the number of posts. Trimming all the little details relating to how Activity gets built-up, in general terms, you can get a Maximum of 14 Activity points every 2 weeks (see the details in this post).

In the example you propose, the 20 weekly posts would translate to 14 Activity posts every 2 weeks, so you’d really only have 350 Activity points after those weeks (50 weeks -> 25 Activity Periods; 25 periods * 14 Activity/period = 350 Activity points).

An overall merit per post ratio of 1 for a given account is not that easy: mine is 0,7515, so still far from that mark. Regardless, the Activity explanation above likely changes the perspective on the Merit/post ratio, since posts are not the same as Activity.

I see a lot of Legendary members and many of them deserve to be of that rank.  But there are also many Legendary members who post just to increase their post count.

I absolutely agree with that, some of them got that rank in a fairly easy way, and they wouldn't reach it in the new system in 100 years. Particularly irritating are those who do not read anything but the title and the first post, and after years on the forum still do not know any basics.

A few posts above are all nicely explained, and then a Legendary member claims the following :

In terms of activity, you need to have at least 1,000. You can only gain 14 every couple of weeks provided you also make 14 posts within that period of time. In terms of merit, you need 1,000 as well. You can do the math out of those numbers.

It took a super long journey before you can achieve the Legendary rank its possible but it took a long time, again first of all it requires merits most of the members gives the calculations of it so take time to read, getting legendary is that you cant get in the posting habit you have, posting mostly in altcoins and bounty does not gives you merit for your requirements to rank up, well good luck to your journey, dream high and try to make a pace to get the rank you want.

Wow, guys you really helped me a lot  

In fact, I have a lot of information and I have a lot of motivation to continue.
Well, from now on, I will start with a constructive post. I want to write your useful tips as a list. So if a new member reads this topic in the future, he can use this list:

As a new member, how long do I have to wait to gain the trust of the members of the forum?

• Rikafip: That will more depend on your actions and not on the time spent here.
• Darker45: I guess there is no time frame for gaining trust. I suppose trust is given by members here not according to rank but according to knowledge or contribution.
• cryptoaddictchie: Trust has no basis when regard to times. But of course you needed a long time before you get recognize and be trusted by community.
• mk4: You don't need the trust of other people.
• KingsDen: You do not need to be a legendary member to be trusted in the community.
  
• YOSHIE: if you trade or buy and sell Items on this forum you gain trust very fast.

What kind of posts should I leave to progress faster?

• PrivacyG: Start writing tutorials or informative articles.
• Rikafip: First of all, start posting regularly, and if possible avoid altcoin section (or at least don't make majority of your posts there) as its a cesspool that is been avoided by merit sources.
  
• Darker45: Constructive ones I suppose, those which contribute to knowledge-building among users here.
  
• cryptoaddictchie: it means quality post.
  
• mk4: Nothing specific, really.
  
• KingsDen: Most of your posts are in Altcoin and bounty applications, you may need to change your posting habit and boards to grow faster.
  
• YOSHIE: the post you should leave like this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2909527;sa=showPosts;start=20
  

How long does it take to become a Legendary?

• examplens: First, you need to reach ~1000 activity. Max, you can earn is 14 activity on bi-weekly (you should need to post about 14 posts in two weeks to get that). (somewhere around less than 3 years)
  
• jackg: Yeah it takes a few years to become legendary (around 2-5 afaik).
  
• isaac_clarke22: There ain't definite time to become legendary. I recall a lot of Hero Members in Meta and Reputation boards waiting their ranks to turn into Legendary at any moment.
  
• Rikafip: Approximately 3 years.
  
• Magicalking: Legendary member is two years journey of regular posting to make the needed activity.
  
• KingsDen: Your journey to legendary may not happen as fast as you wish.
  
• YOSHIE: System (Merit) that answers this question.
  

This list will be updated

Just to reiterate on what @Lucius already correctly mentioned, the Activity required for Legendary is between 775 and 1030 (not 1.000). That is a pretty wide range, and in simple terms, represents somewhere between 112 and 148 weeks, which is quite a variable range, with near to 8,5 months between both marks. That is, of course the best case scenario.

The specific required Activity value varies per account, and is determined upon account creation, but unknown to all (except for the Admin) in accordance to this:

Can you make getting legendary provability fair? So we know if you don't like us that we get it anyway

Nah, that'd significantly complicate things. Currently this randomness is done with a single SQL query, which is very convenient.

Code:

update smf_members set ID_POST_GROUP=21 where ID_POST_GROUP=8 and
activity>=775 and activity>=775+conv(substr(sha1(concatenate(ID_MEMBER,
secretSeed)), 1, 2), 16, 10);

The required activity level per user is suitably random for betting, but anyone who can read my code (there are a few such people) will be able to exactly predict when someone will become Legendary, so I don't really recommend it.

Note1: concatenate was not the original command, but rather concat (Cloudflare won't allow the command to be posted with the original syntax in full).

Note2: By "anyone who can read my code" I figure he meant anyone who knew the secretSeed being used:

You're not going to find the secret seed technologically. Brute force is not practical, and SHA-1 is strongly believed to protect against other attacks you might think of. If the seed is ever published, it'll be because someone leaked it.

I have a few questions for you:

• As a new member, how long do I have to wait to gain the trust of the members of the forum?
  
• What kind of posts should I leave to progress faster?
• How long does it take to become a Legendary?

I want to answer your question because I thought it would be a little interesting to tell you some insights based on experience. I hope this helps you find some answers and motivates you to do something better in the future.

• There shouldn't be a fixed time frame and I think it will vary a lot between users. It all depends on what you do in this forum because reputation and trust depend on yourself and every user will get it in different timeframe.
• Quality posts, constructive and useful for other users who want to read them. For your progress, then quality posting is one of the factors to determine that you have the desire to have something of value in the forum. This will help you grow into a useful user for other users and you only need to hear advice that really helps you build your morale for the better.
• It will really depend on your progress in posting, understanding something right and doing activity on the forum. You have to get an activity number between 775 - 1030 as a condition, but you also have to get the first 1000 merit to make it happen. Your consistency in making valuable posts will greatly affect how much merit you get, so the activity and quality of your posts will determine how long it takes to rank up to Legendary.

Thanks for pointing this out! My apologies. It should have been 775 not 1,000. The 1,000 was meant for the merit. My bad!

I have already edited my post to avoid misleading others.

How long does it take to become a Legendary?

• Darker45: In terms of activity, you need to have at least 1,000.

OP, please correct this. This is wrong. The minimum number of activity that a user should have to qualify for the legendary rank is 775. I got it all wrong.

Please change the OP post as well as this might mislead other users here. Thanks!

For how long it takes to become legendary it depends on the quality of your posts and also your activeness in making posts because with good posts you will later get merit, collect merit with at least 1000 merits. everyone has a different time but to become our legendary really have to be patient and persistent, which will definitely take a long time to gain the trust of each member to become legendary. In fact, as time goes by, of course, we will be able to develop on our own and gradually our rank will rise. all of that takes a process, enjoy the current process and continue to increase our knowledge about the crypto world.

[Lucius]

But really, the Legendary rank is too over-appreciated. There's really nothing up here.

For some, it may be so, for others it is something that means a lot to them and you need to understand why people want to reach that rank. Whether it’s prestige or the fact that Legendary rank is paid much better in signature campaigns, there’s always some reason why every beginner wants to achieve that goal. Some would say that they just want to be in the company of legendary members, although for some that rank is just one word in a profile that doesn't really mean anything given their achievements.
