How is Merit Gotten?

[Gozie51]

I'm curious if it's merit that brought you here, whether you come to learn about Bitcoin

The focus of this forum isn't merit. Merit was introduced bearly four years ago to encourage more meaningful post and contribution here. I feel if you want to get more reaponse and helpful explanation then you can go ask in meta board and get your answers . Bitcoin is the overall interest of this forum and do your best to support it then merit will find you.

I believe that getting Merits shouldn’t be a difficult task once you know what you here for, follow the forum guidelines, research better on what the forum is all about and then surrender yourself to learn. These are what has been helping me so far. I take my time in developing myself on how to write quality posts especially, learn from the other hero and senior members here. I am not paying attention to merits, rather I am paying attention on how to also become a better poster like other senior members. Merits will definitely happen naturally without even putting my mind there, with time your merits will be numerous without worrying.

I'm curious if it's merit that brought you here, whether you come to learn about Bitcoin or you come to earn merit because the last time I checked this forum is a place to learn about Bitcoin and its related activities, you should have at least spend sometime by going through various board or create a thread defining or telling us about your mission into the forum and how you can navigate the forum in getting such information and this will help your way out into the information your seeking while merit comes about when you share information about Bitcoin or related things that are valuable.

Let me guess, I think that the person who taught OP about bitcointalk forum is a bounty hunter because of the actions that OP is doing even though he just created or registered an account few days ago. I also think it's pointless to help OP since he is already inactive for 10 days although it would be helpful for other newbies out there.

First, OP wanted to know how merit is earn which he used the word gotten which made me think right away that someone taught him about earning money by joining bounties in this forum starting from how to earn merits and ad we know, it is one of the requirements needed to rank up.

Second, newbies that is brought here for some reason that he/she intended to learn more then the very first thing that person did is read read read read read until that person learned instead of merits, ranking up and asking if ever a participant will get a merit but what kind of participant is it anyway?. The answer to this I believe it's either a bounty participant or participant in a thread started where you can participate and complete s given task and if you managed to complete the task then you will earn a merit. In short, a participant in a merit giveaway threads. The words in the quote below is I think the reason why I think of OP that way.

I need some orientation on how Participants get merit.

If it is shared, how is that done too?

Hey, buddy would you please explain further about this question? what exactly do you mean by this?

As a newbie, I suggest you read about merit in some of the other threads that have been well made specially by staff or high-rank people to understand further. I won't explain more about the merits cause we all know there are many great explanations regarding this here.

However, I probably want to share with you how we can actually search for the topics that we want to know in this forum. For example, merit. You can simply go to the "search" column in the home section and type the keyword that you want to search, or just click the "search" button beside the "help" button in the home section for advanced search features.




You can actually search it first before making a thread buddy cause I'm sure for this simple topic, there are many people who have discussed it here. Just my 2 cents, and enjoy your time in this forum buddy.

Don't run after merit, post good quality first. First make yourself worthy of merit.
To qualify, must have good knowledge of Bitcoin and good quality posts. When you post good quality bitcoins and that post helps others, you will earn rewards. So post good quality posts without wasting time on getting unnecessary merit.

[Stella Mese]

To get merit, of course I don't really know the problem myself because I'm still a beginner in the bitcoin talk forum. but in my opinion
and my guess is that if we want merit, of course, our chats must be correct and not off topic, basically everything we do on bitcointalk must be of high quality.

Members are getting merits by making good and informative or constructive posts. Which really help to others.

Always try to make the good posts than others will give you merits if you really deserve that. Thanks.

Good advice.
The search function on this forum helps very quickly in finding answers to specific questions, especially such general questions about merits that have already been answered a thousand times over the past few years.
However, the same questions are asked over and over again and this is why the discussion on this forum dies down, because people get bored reading the same topics over and over again.
I'm afraid there isn't much help here.

Both high-quality posts and thoughtful responses to other people's posts merit consideration. But most importantly, put merit aside and learn whatever it is that you want to learn in this forum if you want to learn. Once you have a thorough understanding of the forum, merits will follow.
The more knowledge you share in the forum, the more Merits you will receive as a reward for your good work.

Merit are like ranks that shows hierarchy of members of the forum. Ranks can also be use to determine how member of the forum engage in the forum activities. Ranks are earned when you contribute positively and also enlightened members of the forum about your bitcoin knowledge, you can also gain merit when you contribute to a question being asked by any member of the forum. Merit can be earned in so many ways in this forum, just stay active and contribute in any way you can.

[AllStarUK]

It’s normally given for great quality posts

You can get them either by means of helpful topics and answers, news, sharing Bitcoin adoption related stories, reporting scammers, etc.

But don't expect that every post mentioned above can guarantee you some merit. That's not how it works.

You'll treat merit as a bonus perk or unexpected blessing. Never beg for merits. And also never have a mindset of posting here just for the sake of merits. You'll get frustrated for sure with that kind of mindset.

Just be helpful without expect anything in return. One day you'll get there and achieve like the experienced. Coz' before we got this rank, we were used to be newbies like you too.

There are no shortcuts to success. You've got to earn it by being a respectable and valuable member of this forum.

[Cryptomultiplier]

Just like the name sounds, it requires one to be steadfast in creating quality posts and be active in meaningful ways for merits to be earned. Truly, you got to have earned the trust or admiration of someone either in person or from being a constant on this forum, for you to rake in merits which not only guarantees, but ascertains the presence of your brand.
Someone might just vibe with your style overtime and thus favor you by awarding merits to encourage your efforts. Furthermore, the way and manner in which one expresses and constructs a posts, either by adhering to the forum guidelines or its rules, is sure to earn one good merits from different sources.

[gmhingoro912]

Mate, it depand upon your writing skills and your valueable post, reply and thoughts if you done it you will get it.

[Razmirraz]

It's too early to mention merit, you should first learn how the forum system works, sooner or later you'll understand how to get merit.
Merit is not something that is hard to come by, the forum has provided a very generous Merit Source and some contributors who won't let quality posts pass you by.
As a newcomer, you should learn important information as a reference/information in order to continue to exist in the forum, I recommend you to stop by at Thread Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ in order to know all the rules of the forum.

Make your goal to benefit the forum members and enrich the content by posting exclusive threads to help beginners and put resources, you can post your predictions resulting from your technical analyzes about the most promising altcoins for investment this year, post good trading strategies and ways to protect investor money from scammers and post a topic related to good bounties for bounty hunters to participate this year, there are a lot of ideas through which you can acquire a lot of merits, just fill your mind and abide by the rules of the forum and the rules of posting, then start.

[Shamm]

Mate, it depand upon your writing skills and your valuable post, reply and thoughts if you did it you will get it.

There are many ways of getting merit and Yes that's right and that is one of the requirements to earn merit but not just that because the main thing to earn merits is the word (CONTRIBUTION) if we have a good contribution for this forum by posting a good reply then achievement will be follow.  Also there are many users here in forum who gave their merits by a task or let say that free merits to those users who complete the task by the OP.

[Inwestour]

Both high-quality posts and thoughtful responses to other people's posts merit consideration. But most importantly, put merit aside and learn whatever it is that you want to learn in this forum if you want to learn. Once you have a thorough understanding of the forum, merits will follow.
The more knowledge you share in the forum, the more Merits you will receive as a reward for your good work.

This is exactly how everything happens, but at first, when you just figure out what and how it works, then at this moment the greatest desire to earn merit and grow in rank. Over time, it all subsides and everything turns out by itself, but you understand this when a lot of time passes, at first everything seems very complicated and at some point even unattainable.

[Earncryptoo]

I was going to reply with an average sized wall of thoughts on the matter - something like this:

<…>
I’ve often echoed that earning a few merits, and scaling through the first few ranks, should not deem too difficult, but rather more so moving along the mid-to-high ranks, which require many more merits, and where people are likely to be more demanding for meriting posted content than on the lower ranks.

People here and there have posted their meriting criteria, such as on this recent thread. Reading through may provide further insights, although bear in mind that people have likely conceptual criteria, but things are nor written in stone.

The idea, in general terms, is to create content that is potentially interesting to the reader, be it in the shape of information, questions, answers, criticism, and whatnot, and wavering the flag of being meaningful, as opposed to meaningless or excessively redundant. The way you express yourself and the general layout are complements that help to convey the message more easily, and come in handy to bear in mind.

Being too eager may easily prove to be counterproductive, as it may lead one to be under the spotlight with a content that may not be that well thought through. Nobody should be expecting to get merited from the start, nor recurrently on most of the post he makes. I took my time to earn my first merit, well over a month, and if memory serves me well, it was actually for a little joke on my local board relative to price volatility. Not something to mimic, but goes to show that there is a variety of content that may be considered by others as interesting.

But it seems that I may have to scrap 95% of the above quote in light of some meriting criteria I just saw, which has nothing to do with what I wrote above (nor the intent of the Merit System). I figure that the part concerning that earning a few merits should not deem difficult remains true (even more so); it’s surpassing a certain threshold that is.
