If someone needs to ask how to become a Legendary after being on the forum for years, likely the Rank is going to be a distant feat  …

Regardless, going over your posting history the boards you’ve been posting on heavily are not precisely Merit-era Legendary makers (Altcoin Discussion, Bounties, Altcoin Speculation for example). The same webpage shows on the bottom chart that you’re barely active, which is therefore playing against any chances of earning Merits.

You could check out what the 217 accounts that have reached the Legendary rank so far under the Merit System have posted, to get an idea. I can’t think of a better way to gain insights on how they did it (starting-off at different Rank levels). Likely, common factors will include time dedication, consistency/persistence (in terms of posting), and content that is generally interesting and with some degree of depth.

Check posts that are given merits and see how they are. That is where you will start from. Read than you post and engage on the boards that attract more merits. Take this forum as what is happening in real life and make your own thoughts too that can help other members.

[Accardo]

You don't have to be ashamed of something that can be changed by your volition to the forum. What to do is very simple, make quality thread and response. And it won't take so much time to reach the legendary level all you need is merit to hit there time is not against you. Unlike some members with lots of merits that could have qualified them to legendary but their activity count is holding them back. You see they is nothing to be ashamed of, merit is holding you back and you just need to get them through active participation. Cheers.

Though you are right that very small portion of merit are poured in there, you have to have agreed that the quality of the aforementioned boards are way more below than average quality. I have read those boards when I was looking for diversifying my crypto investment; I did and realized you must not go with shits, LOL.
Most of the signature spammers post their to fulfill their weekly quota & that's it. I have hardly seen a good quality post in altcoin discussion. IIRC, I have enjoyed reading an article from tk808 (can be someone else either) regarding monopoly of Binance. I can't remember if I ever enjoyed the board that much.

You've to make it a matter of necessity to become active here if you were to start ranking up. Nobody feeds a dead horse. I checked your post history and found out that there's a lacuna somewhere there. Such gap could've cost you some merits. Again, make your posts to be constructive and contributory to discussions. If I would indulge you, kindly desist from one liner posts also.

Earning 1000 merits is not an easy feat, but you don't have to focus on attaining the rank more than doing what the forum was built for, which if for bitcoin talks, if you had talked about bitcoin with other members from 2017 till date, you may not be legendary now, or you may, but surely you will be earning merits and increasing in knowledge and ranks too.

Many members won't get to legendary, either because they are shitposters, not good enough, they don't care or they are unlucky with merits, if you want to be any, it is better to be unlucky with merits because if you make great posts and nobody is seeing it, a time will come when you'll be noticed and merits will be given to both new and old posts and you may climb up the ranks very fast. That is why it is always worth concentrating on the content you bring to the forum, rather that the merits you are recieving at that present time.

Haha this is funny and mixed with nostalgic. I could even see that you have been away for sometime from the forum. Not being active is one major effect of it as the reason you are still where you are. Your activities is still far to show you how you have been inactive. If my calculation is correct you are suppose to be in senior member by default at the time the merit system started if you had enough activities by that time. The solution now is that you have to start making meaningful contribution to the forum but sorry unfortunately at this time that merit are not got on a platter of Gold, you will have to be a super knowledgeable writer to achieve what you desire now unlike in the beginning when merit giving wasn't a big deal and some of us still didn't realize it then because we also desire to rank up from where we are. But do your best at least you can get somewhere if you are ready to do some serious content work.

First this post should not be public, in my opinion this post should be something you make within you and aspire to achieve it, it shouldn't surprise you that you haven't ranked up yet, just check out your post history.
2017-2022 is over five years definitely enough time for you to have made good progress.

Well there are many legendary members that started off poorly but later on made progress in the form. I have had a conversation with some of them personally, and I have learnt a lot from them, so I think it's not up to you actually put in the work and let's see where you end up at the end of the year.

[BitcoinBarrel]

It's never too late to grow in all areas of your life. Start now and you will reap the benefits tomorrow.

Just focus on learning and adding value to people's lives. Use Bitcointalk as one avenue for networking but focus on others as well.

Good luck and glad to have you back!

Without even taking a look at your post history and just looking at your Activity:merit ratio, safe to assume that you just need to significantly ratchet up your post quality. 99% of the time, people who complain about not receiving merits simply just have substandard post quality.

Its not too late. Changes your style or improved your post. I am a bounty hunter and most of my post are links from social campaign and I realize I wouldnt advance if I continue it so I focus on more posting and contributing. Checked my profile and registered almost the same time as you. Yes its reallly need effort to get to something you wanted. But if perseverance is there it will be easy. You just need to give time on doing it. Good luck OP, it will never be too late for anyone.

[Poker Player]

If it's just a matter of shame, it shouldn't have to be. I imagine that in reality the OP wants to make money with signature campaigns, but if not, there is nothing to be ashamed of. This is a forum and if he posts in the sections he does and in the way he does to pass the time there is nothing wrong. His posts don't have much merit, yes, but a lot of the traffic on forums is a form of entertainment without much effort or merit in what is written.

[Despairo]

Thank to theymos for implementing merit system, so we can see there's no way for shitposter to rank up in this forum. If theymos didn't implemented merit system, we will see the @OP already become Hero Member and his post is full of liner without contain any point.

Now what's the reason you want to rank up to Legendary member? Ah I see you're wearing signature about shitcoin project, so you want to get bigger stake right since Member rank only get 1 stake/week isn't?

We can't help without a strong effort that pushes you to reach Legendary. The Merit system is implemented in the forum with the aim that every user who has the desire to achieve a higher rank can make quality, constructive and informative posts.
You need to underline, Merit is not a barrier for you to rank up. Lots of users have proven that Merit isn't hard to get, they've reached the highest rank in the forum quickly.

As a first step, you must leave the old habit (shitposter) to become a quality poster to get the attention of Merit Sources and generous Contributors on the forum so as not to downplay your posts. There are 110 merit sources with a total merit generation of up to 33989 sMerit per 30 days which have been selected to help anyone to immediately enjoy a new rank.

The decision is yours, want to change or not.

[Note3]

Nearly 2 years inactive and many of your posts that are also not involved in the quality discussion make you difficult to get merit.
Improve the quality of posts, there are several veterans member who are ready to review posts and you will get merit if it is feasible.

Now what's the reason you want to rank up to Legendary member? Ah I see you're wearing signature about shitcoin project, so you want to get bigger stake right since Member rank only get 1 stake/week isn't?

You get the reason, Getting $ 100/week is much better than $60/week right?

Tell us you want more money without telling us you want more money

For the beginning, start posting outside of altcoin section because from what i can see, 90% of your posts were made there. Another thing, stop with those mindless one-liners as even if you start posting in other section where there's a lot of merit, you want get far with that approach.

Forget about signature campaigns and weekly quota, simply start communicating with others (which you haven't been doing in 5 years since you joined this forum) and post only when you actually have to say something and merit will come, and therefore higher ranks. By the way, you wouldn't be the first altcoin bounty hunter managed to change and who became an asset to this forum, so there is a chance for you as well.

I saw users don't receive merits like the others just because they ain't parroting what other bitcointalk users want to hear aka not being a 'yes man'. They actually put their thought into their post compared to users that only post to meet their quota on their sign campaign, parrot on what other people in here want to hear.

Post quality isn't decided by merits alone cause you know how some opinions might not popular hence the lack of merits. This also created an illusion that merits always equals to good-quality posts. Heck, might give you a fresh example (below) to show you about a user with a good amount of merits doesn't mean they've good post quality. aylabadia05 has 313 merits, mind you.

Yesterday I said about 3 important points that must be obtained by both teams. Arsenal to shift Manchester City in 1st position and maintain the opportunity to win the trophy, while Liverpool to return to compete in the top four.
I dare say Arsenal will win against Liverpool by a narrow score.
Liverpool have tried their best to achieve a draw, but because of a penalty incident, Liverpool lost points.

Come on dude, at least put effort into your post. Not WILL. The match is over. Arsenal won 3-2 against Liverpool. And no, Liverpool will not back to the top 4 in the Premier League. Yes, the season hasn't ended yet, the race is still ongoing but they had a lot of problems with their lineup and strategy. See people in here starting to talk about Klopp's chance to stay at Liverpool before the season end?

For the beginning, start posting outside of altcoin section because from what i can see, 90% of your posts were made there.

Once you've buried yourself deep in that swamp, even with the best of intentions, it's not easy to pull yourself up to the surface. Everything that the OP has tried recently outside Altcoins boards can be categorized as low-value content without any hesitation.

I want to increase to legendary.

Even if someone gave you a Legendary rank, it wouldn't mean anything because you're still a beginner in your head. All Legendary members were also beginners at one point and invested a lot of time, and in the last few years, a lot of effort to become what you want now. My advice is to start from the beginning, start reading the forum, don't open meaningless topics and ask questions that already have answers. To begin with, concentrate on how you will reach the next step (Full member).
