how can we get merit points ?  

To get Merits in this forum you have to contribute by helping others, have to follow forum rules and should share proper knowledge with everyone. When you will share or help someone forum Members will appreciate your contribution by sending merits. So it's really very easy to get merits but you have to be on the right way.
My suggestion is that don't focus on merit earning just write constructive and high quality posts and try to help others as much as you can the you will obviously be appreciated by a lot of merits.
Don't abuse merit system by trading or begging then you will be red tagged.

i understand now.

If you wish to post pictures in your ANN thread, you need a Cooper Membership Account. Merit points are not required.

No.

That's not how it works my friend.

You could even get tagged for begging merits.

It looks like your soul focus is to get merits and not contributing to the forum. When I look at your post history, nothing is merit worthy and most of your posts are in altcoins Announcements board.

Requesting/begging for merits isn't the right way to go about it, you'd have to actually make posts that will meet the merit criteria of other users and merit sources, if you make it a habit of begging for merits, other users would just ignore you, and then it becomes even more difficult to earn merits.

As for 'how things work', if you actually did read the link posted above, then you would know how things work/what will happen if or when you earn a merit, for you, it wouldn't be much, you'd become a jr member when your activity catches up, if you stay at just one merit though, you still wouldn't be able to join the merit process/system/economy as you will have just 0.5 Smerits which is not sendable, you can also then add a signature, and a few others. But what is most important is that you won't earn merits if you continue in this way, garner Bitcoin/crypto/forum knowledge and start communicating with others here, not to earn merits, but with a genuine desire to discuss, help others and improve the general forum quality.

You could even get tagged for begging merits.

He very well could. But that would definitely be an incorrect use of the trust system, cause from my interpretation, that is not what it was designed for. In this case, at best, the ignore button should do if it becomes constant and annoying.

omg. 1 merit so i can post images. if you would be able to sell your merit points, you would have dumped most (if not all) by now.  

Then buy a copper membership: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=credit;promote

If you post something decent enough, you’d postulate for being merited. Then you’ll see how things work properly …

By the way, as mentioned before, if you want it to be able to post images on your Ann thread (for which you’d both need to meet the required Activity and Merit requirements for Jr. Member), the Pandora whatever should at least be able to rollout a few sats to aquire a Copper Membership and accelerate the process.

It depends how you perform you address management. You could always mix some for privacy purposes.

cuz bitcoin is traceable... i will never use bitcoin. the forum is just forcing me to pay and lose my privacy...

no thanks. bitcoin is that bad in terms of privacy.

[Lafu]

If you are using Google already for a bit i guess Google knows already more about you as anybody else.

cuz bitcoin is traceable... i will never use bitcoin.

If you will never use Bitcoin there are 1 questions about that !

1. Why are you here on the Bitcoin Forum then if you never use Bitcoin ?

About the other thing for Merits and getting one , dont ask or expect some for when you make posts and as mentioned from others already,
Help others with your Experience (if you have one) , make some good posts , and try to help the Forum at all.

[JeromeTash]

omg. 1 merit so i can post images.

Even if you got 1 merit now, you would still not be able to post images anyway as you lack activity points. So why is it a big deal to get 1 merit today?

if you would be able to sell your merit points, you would have dumped most (if not all) by now.  

Fortunately, not everyone is greedy here like you think.

Then chill out and we see if the forum admin will ban you for not buying Copper membership. Nobody is forcing you

The answer to your question is very simple.
Be constructive, contribute something to this forum, share your crypto knowledge or experience, or if you are beginner explore some crypto topic or news and share it with others.
If you are not ready to invest your effort and work, don't expect other forum members to be willing to reward you with merit.
Merits comes from someone’s hard work and effort, not by begging others on the forum
You can’t expect to get something for nothing, it’s a simple truth.
I suggest you lock this topic because you have already been answered and start working on your reputation and status on this forum, and start writing better and more constructive posts.

50 new accounts do not mean that you will still get some merit. here in a couple of posts, you have already shown that you are very far from earning the first merit. From begging to buying, you finished on multi-accounting. Everything that you think is wrong.
take a closer look at the suggestions you have already received and try to fit them into the recommended norms of behaviour on the forum. although I would say this is not your first account here and you already know how things work here.

paying with bitcoin i lose personal privacy
sharing too much i lose personal privacy

i just need 1 single point so i can share images.  the bitcointalk merit system is the perfect example of a religious cult.

[examplens]

paying with bitcoin i lose personal privacy

Bitcoin is still one of the best payment methods that offer anonymity.

sharing too much i lose personal privacy

You don't need to share anything that you don't want. no one here will force you to do that.

i just need 1 single point so i can share images.  the bitcointalk merit system is the perfect example of a religious cult. i would even delete the thread if i get my point.   

There is no religion or whatever. It's just simple, certain rules exist for everyone and will not be tailored to you or any other individual.
You don't need to delete this thread, maybe it will benefit someone in the future. someone who has the same dilemma as you. Considering the potential to earn merit by constructive posting, it is not difficult. there are users who have earned several thousand without begging.

note. You can open your topic with an image, even if they are not displayed. Just point me to them, and I'll repost it and will be visible to all. of course, if that's what you want to show legally and in accordance with the norms of good behaviour.

If you believe you will lose your virginity, I mean anonymity, by paying with bitcoin, then you are doing it wrong.

This proves that the merit system works perfectly to stop trolls like you, who can't set aside even measly $ 20 for a cooper account to post images.

no problem, mate. i will make 50 new accounts until i will hit 1 merit point.

Good luck with that.

It sounds like begging mate, be careful you'll get a negative tag on this.
That's not how the merit system works, you should learn how to value this and how you'll get hard work before you'll have even single merit.  Selling merit is also restricted on this forum and no one will risk their account just for that matter.

The only solution that you have is to purchase a copper membership, it almost has the same feature as a member rank, it's ideal for a member that has a business here that can able for them to post images for their announcement thread.  Through Bitcoin, you can hide your privacy, just use a non-custodial wallet because this isn't required KYC.

no problem, mate. i will make 50 new accounts until i will hit 1 merit point.

You deserve nothing on this, good luck with your plan and I think with your IP address you can create not less than 2 accounts, more than that you need to pay a small amount of Bitcoin for the evil fees.

Only abused IP ranges have to pay a fee. The fee is an anti-abuse measure, and it is not meant to be (and isn't) much of a source of revenue.

If any very-veteran members want to volunteer, I can give you the ability to whitelist users. (All Staff can already whitelist users, as well.) Perhaps then someone could create a topic like "List of email addresses for people who can whitelist you for free", which I could link-to on the evil fee page. However, these IPs have evil for a reason. If it was sufficient for them to just solve a captcha or something, I'd have them do that. Before whitelisting someone, you have to do something to be pretty sure that they're not evading a ban and just going to get banned again. You may get the impression from complaints on the forum that everyone hits the fee and it's never warranted, but this is selection bias: the fee is more rare, and the vast majority of accounts that hit it should not be whitelisted.

Actually, no one knows who you are and even if you pay for the copper membership forum do not ask for your name so you won't get lose of your privacy except on exchanges where your Bitcoin came from.

Why don't you just use a mixer if you don't want to lose your privacy?

What I see here from your all post you are trying to beg for 1 merit why not try to go to OgNasty's thread? You can just provide your Bitcoin address and sign message here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5300698.0

And then get merited if you are lucky.
