How did you start your posting life as a newbie??? only for full mem, Sr and leg

[CryptSafe]

My posting life as a newbie was through a lack of knowledge about cryptocurrency and as a one-liner poster because I join the forum through an altcoin which is now quenched off the market but it was introduced to me by a friend. Almost giving up then until I learn that there's more to cryptocurrency and that this forum also has vast benefits that will totally change my understanding of cryptocurrency investment.

Truly mate there is more to cryptocurrency than we think. Initially when i ventured into crypto as a newbie, my thoughts were just about buying and selling  cryptocurrency which is just the least about blockchain and even here too. After i got onboard, I had to do lots of research about this platform and on this platform i worked on my cryptocurrency knowledge and going vast and wide in knowing more about what bitcoin stands for and the sole reason it was invented by Satoshi, there and then i understood the essence of crypto, my reason changed and i began doing lots of activities on crypto and on this platform i worked to making sure i contribute in comments and posts so as to aid newbies scale through the platform. This has been my journey so far.

It's normal for newbies to think that investing in cryptocurrencies involves buying low and selling high, but it's not normal to learn more about the ecosystem. The sad reality is that in the past, it was more difficult to get access to up-to-date information about cryptocurrencies than it is now, where newcomers can quickly find information that will improve their understanding.

Before now as you have said, getting information was very hard as the awareness of crypto was not that popular. If one should be able to get an update about anything crypto then, it must be through any one who has idea and contact of another who is into the system too as you barely get update on it through any medium compared to now that information about crypto and bitcoin is circulated everywhere through social media and lots more.
Nevertheless, as a newbie with no much knowledge about bitcoin and crypto the first thought that sinks into the mind is buying and selling of crypto to making instant profit at the initial time of learning about crypto which is normal but as time goes on with exposure and experience, you find out that it is amongst the least on crypto list and there re more to crypto than just buying and selling and their mentality changes and their thoughts begin to align with the reality that crypto is an evolution of financial freedom and lots more.

I dont think anybody is performing magic on the forum here, and am not having time table, but i don't know if other people are having, am always on forum whenever am less busy or am bored. You also mentioned how people got their merit and post count, if you are posting frequently your post count will definitely increase and if you are making meaningful contribution to posts on forum here, then you will definitely receive merit, so i don't see anything special or difficult on the forum here only if you want to compromise things for yourself.

All what i will tell you is not to be desperate to get merit, if you are desperate then you wont get the merit and you might end up going against the forum rules, just post as a free man and with time you will be able to build your account.

The basic thing for the forum is dedication and interest. If you have interest to learn about cryptocurrency and you come across this forum then that will become a primary interest to be here and dedicate time for it. This should be the driving force before any other thing. Merit system is what was introduced to the forum around 2018 so it was not there from beginning, don't focus on merit or be so worked up about it but if you give the best in your dedication and improve on your contribution, the merit will be attracted to you.

how you did the magic on your post count and also merit court and how to do things on the forum

As a newbie,I started by reading a lot and I hardly post because I find it difficult to understand the discussion. The only board that I find easy was politics and society and Economy. If I post on Beginners and help board,my post will be deleted by the moderator. As time goes on learning and making research helped me to start understanding and having idea on what to post and some topics created by forum members. Gradually,I started to grow by the exchanging knowledge and continuous study. Fillippone was also a great help because I was still a member when he made this thread.     https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5412657.0

and also on how you  share your time table for the forum.

This is very easy,I became an addict to the forum that after work or during break time at work,I will login to the forum but I do enjoy my time on the forum mainly in the evenings after supper. If you have the interest of learning in the forum, it will be easy for that person to grow here.

Merit is not everything since even if we don't get that we can still learn a lot of things here. So maybe newbies should not focus to accumulate that since its little bit annoying if they cannot get it since not all the time people will send some merit on every post they made. They should treat that as a bonus so that they will not expect anything huge from this and if they target to join on any campaign then maybe they should not rush all things and be a good contributor since this will came if they contribute a relevant post quality to all people here.

Yes, the platform is very vast that there are still things yet to be learnt and even at then, as we learn the little we know here more things and discoveries comes up that we still need to learn too keeping it a clockwise activities to learn again and again continuously as we all know learning is a continuous process. Some how, merits are some worth encouraging and as a matter of fact encourages more work from members here. Permit me to say this that merit seems to be the beauty of ones efforts onboard this platform because with it, one grows in rank and also you see it as a  result and efforts of your labour and contribution here.

 I started with the intention of satisfying my curiosity and as such was eager to follow up with the rules. It sounded farfetched that such a place like this existed where all you need is to exchange useful information about life generally, but majorly centering on Bitcoin discussion. It became a challenge to me when I saw that others get merited for a post I started whereas I had none and this increased my appetite to do better.
 There's the saying that "what is worth doing, is worth doing well and as such, growing in ranks and recognition in this forum is all about dedication and your hunger for knowledge and to achieve that, you ought to be an omnivorous reader cause no idea or knowledge is useless.

Be aware of the rules (this is greatly important). Put some effort on learning how the forum works. Spend some time on the Meta board and beginners & help. We also have local sections here where you can communicate freely using youre native language.
Make sure that you understand the topic before you hit that "Post" button. Be relevant.
Engage naturally, you do not need to fear anyone here, except the rules.

There is absolutely no magic in all this, it's all a learning process that starts and never ends. When you join the forum as a newbie, you don't know anything at all, especially about the forum and its rules and regulations and how things work around here unless you have been a member of a similar forum before which was not the case with me. You start surfing around, reading topics, seeing writing patterns or other members, and keep exploring.

As time goes on, if you are sharp enough, you will see that you are learning everything slowly, the process cannot be fast, so you shouldn't worry about your rank or anything initially because as you move forward, you will learn everything and when that happens, your rank will start going up itself without you being worried about it.

It's quite easy if you are into posting and typing a lot. Personally, it's very secondary to consider that I could earn from signature campaigns and not so much towards making the account level higher than I could earn. It's important that you understand that you are bringing value to the forum and making sure that you are not repeating everything or something. Do not spam and you will do great.

Being morally good in terms of posting and understanding the rules here will get you far. Reading a lot and understanding it would save you from all the hassle.

I have been a member of many Internet forums in my life, so it was not difficult for me to get used to this forum.
I've been a member of this forum for almost 10 years, and since I didn't really know much about crypto or bitcoin in the beginning, I mostly wrote in the offtopic and read the posts of other, older and more experienced members.
Over time, I started writing in my local board and later I became active in the English part of the forum.
As I learned more and gained more experience about crypto and bitcoin, I started writing more in other parts of the forum. I think it's a natural path for all forum members.

I think identifying with local boards helps alot because there is much freedom of association and speech to the ordinary levels there. There and then one could ask questions in their local languages because it gives way for proper understanding, guidance and support for newbies to easily adapt to the system.

As a member of various platforms, this would give you the insight of how platforms run and how to manage them to be able be outstanding and competitive where ever you find yourself.

Honestly, most of us were not crypto experts when we joined this forum.
On the one hand, we were interested in crypto and on the other hand, we knew almost nothing about crypto.
Honestly, in the beginning, it was much easier for me to communicate on my local board and ask questions than on the English part of the forum.
On that side, I really like the organization of this forum and the existence of many local boards because it helps new members a lot in the beginning of their crypto journey.

No need to complicate things and pressuring yourself just because you are a newbie. As long as you know the rules and never meant to break it, then start your posting journey in the forum. However, make sure you DYOR first before you try to engage in any discussion especially in threads that you are not familiar to. The more you do it, the bigger chances you will learn a lot more in the forum. Just be yourself and do your task in your best ability and skills, in the long run you will notice that your post is getting close to highly valuable posts like those veterans in the forum do. And before you knew it, getting merits will be easier for you.

[Iroh]

I think the op should edit this post and allow every one irrespective of their rank to also contribute since there's no much difference between the op and the other ranks which are not allowed to contribute on this topic.

Aside the OP being of a lower rank like the same members he thinks he doesn’t need opinions from, I think the opinions of everyone( including the low ranked members)at the very least deserves a listen. Newbies could share their thoughts and opinions and someone could learn from it.
I think the OP should be more open to reading and learning from the thoughts and opinions of everyone irrespective of their ranks as we could learn from literally anyone on here. No one knows it all and as surprising as it may seem to some members, some newbies are knowledgeable and have lots to share.

There is no magic to increase your activity and merit in short. You should be active and build informative conversations with the forum's people by creating knowledgeable threads and replies to other people. Your activity and merits increased in a short period but this is only possible when you are consistent. Remember that consistency is the key to Success for working in the forum and Other parts of life. Time table for working on the forum is creating and managing the workflow when you are Free 4Power hours working method to grow and succeed in Bitcointalk. You only work 4 hours per day with full consistency and hard work and you will get the fruit of 10 hours but in 4 hours switch off interaction and sit on the clock. I hope this working strategy will help you quickly grow in the forum.

The local forum became a home for us to start growing when we first entered this forum knowing nothing about crypto. I started to learn little by little from the various discussions that I participated in. The initial plan to enter this forum certainly interested me because there were lots of bounties that could be worked on and could be rewarded, but being a newbie at that time was quite difficult because I had limited knowledge about crypto. The longer you stay in this forum, the more you understand what to do. now, beginners need to try harder so that they are recognized and can survive in this forum.
