Happy to reach 50 merit

[Pokapoka124]

Complaining about how difficult it is to earn merit will not make it come any easier. Merits is a subjective thing, everyone has their own reasoning of what a merit worthy should be, and just because a post gets some merit does not mean the post is necessarily a quality post, it could just appeal to another member at that time. It’s ironic that you complain about the merit distribution when you have been hoarding merits for the last 150 days, maybe you have been saving them for a merit giveaway like this.

Earning merit is really hard this days , since there are lots of things they consider for post to be meritable,
~

I know that feeling of having a hard time earning merits because I have experienced that as well.
I don't know if there's a problem with my posts, or I'm posting in sections where merit sources aren't visiting to spread some merits, or whatever reason it is.

There was a time where I'm really having a hard time earning merits, but why focus on merits where it isn't the main feature of this forum? Knowledge, information, learning. These are far more important than merits. What's the importance of merits here? Just to rank up only. You don't need a rank if your main focus is learning. There are some threads where they are sending merits on your good posts like the ones in Beginners & Help section itself.

Well, if you really want to rank up, excel at something. Be good at something, and share it here. If you have opinions, experiences, information that you want to post here then do it. I don't know, but I think that helped me a little bit. I know I didn't start as a member when the merit system implemented (I was full member at that time), so I didn't experience getting 100 merits just to get to Full Member, but I think there's no other option for you OP, but to learn in order to earn merits. Just don't focus on it though because it's like you are earning merits just to join into signature campaign that requires Full Member rank at least.

Earning merits isn't difficult if you post interesting and useful things.

All you have to do is not chase the merits and you'll see that they'll come to you quickly. I sincerely believe that writing a reply or creating a topic with the aim of obtaining merits is the best way of not receiving any for the post in question; this is often obvious and is not very appreciable. The primary purpose of the forum is the exchange of information and useful advices, Bitcointalk is not intended to be a race for merits to obtain X rank or enter in a signature campaign quickly.

Just take your time! I wish you all the best for your future on the forum.

This reply is the greatest advice I have ever heard in this forum, right now I don't know if anyone else feel the statement the way I feel it. Sincerely, I have been looking forward to get merit not without offering any good ideal and this up here just changed the concept for me.

@OP, Earning merit is not really that hard like you think, if you are having the feeling of earning merit as your top priority, then it might not come so quickly like you expect it, but if you are yourself and stay active on the forum, making some helpful contributions in boards that are regularly visited by some reputable members or merit sources, then you will likely earn merit. Some of the reasons why a member may not earn merit more frequently are the boards where they usually make their posts or the quality of their posts poor. I am not saying that all that will guarantee you earning as much merit as you desire. But if you just stay cool and are more concentrated on making quality posts, then you might stand a better chance.

from the merit history that OP got, he is active on the local board. which may not have gotten much attention from Merit's sources. maybe he feels more comfortable discussing on local boards. and getting support to get more Merit. he can submit a post review that he made to the Merit source to get Merit faster. although not all Merit sources accept it. usually, local boards have a special thread to review their local member's posts for Merit. I don't know if it's on the OP's local board.

I Have been here for a year now, and still have a lot things to learn, but thank you for those who supported me to reach for where I am now,
but for me this is still a long journey, but its all worth it, thank you for appreciating my post, and giving me information's that i don't know, it will help me along the way on achieving my goals in crypto and this forum.
To be able to share and help others, those who only need a merit to reach a certain rank, post your most merit post, other post that you think is meritable is welcome and I'll review your post , please don't get mad if you don't received merit, keep learning, and don't get frustrated on setbacks.

Congratulations for reaching 50+ Merits
Earning merits is very easy for them who has good knowledge about bitcoin and another crypto and who has good knowledge about this forum. but it is very difficult to earn merits for spammers. There are 109 Merit Sources whose profiles generate 33940 smerits per month and they distribute them regularly.  And besides the merit source, others also distribute their smerit. because for every 2 merits, 1 Smerit is generated for every merited profile. Then think that where thousands of merits are being distributed constantly, why you will not get merit? You don't get it because you always make shit post. And only those who are able to post good quality they get merit.

[SamReomo]

I don't think that earning merits is very hard these days because the ones who try to contribute good stuff to the forum will ultimately end up getting good amount of merits from the members of the forum. I have also seen users gaining so many merits by posting on local boards because the members of the local boards really give so many merits to the deserving members that post regularly on their boards.

Although, I'm not a top merit earner by any means, but I can say that contributing good and useful information on the forum has really helped me to gain many merits without any doubt. I suggest you to contribute to the forum and be helpful as well good to other members then you will see merits flowing into your posts like water, but in order to see that you will need to create good content.

[cryptoaddictchie]

Some might think earning merits is hard or easy cause thats depend on the user engagement. Some users were so witty and very productive that they can even earn merits daily and some are getting longer to receive even 1. Why is that so? Possibly due to users uniqueness some really are very good poster and integrated a lot of sense in a conversation while others are low class post.

[zaim7413]

The ease and difficulty of getting merits depends on the perception of each member, the 55 merits that you get indicate that you understand very well how to get merits. When you feel that Merit is difficult to obtain, that's when you start not believing in your own potential. If that thinking continues, then you will continue to be in a hole of failure. Positive thinking needs to be prioritized on something that is considered difficult, as long as you are willing to learn by adopting the way other members make posts, you will easily get merit.

It depends on you knowledge and the quality of the post. Mostly people send merits whey they found a post useful. I can see you are very pretty well since getting 50 merits is not so easy for a newbie. But when you get used to it you will rank up fast. I can still remember my journey to become full member which still amaze me.

Just don't be obsessed with getting merits. Maintain your post quality you will get merits and rank up eventually.

OP, why are you holding your smerites? Do you need to create a separate thread and look important to rate the posts of several people? What posts do you find interesting? Isn't it possible to distribute your merits in the process of communication?
I am pushing all of this so that you can understand that if you are very sensitive about giving someone your smerites, did you think that other people would be just as careful with your posts?
I'm always amazed at the avarice of these people. You are looking for a worthy post, but you are sure that all your posts are appreciated according to your standards?

Be simple, and people will be drawn to you.

Your efforts to help the members with few merits left to reach the next rank is highly commendable and I appreciate your kind gesture but don't you think you can actually send out your xmerits to others when you find out that the user teaches something that is useful to the forum or to you? I believe there are so many threads that has been created for review of posts and some forum established members has also created threads where users with few merits left to their next rank are advised to apply so they can be merited I think you can spend the xmerits you have got without requesting for reviews of post seeing that you have no much xmerit because you have a total of 55merit according to your profile.

Judging from the picture above I don't think you have enough smerits to send out after receiving about 16 merits for the 120 days and you already sent out 2 which you are now left with 6 merits, but however 55 merits should be 26 smerits left but from https://bpip.org/Profile?id=3492563 you seems to have spent only 10 or 11 merits now left with 14 smerit I might be wrong or true but I know is something similar.

Well I don't think you are on a higher standard to start reviewing post because first, your smerit can't cover the cost of reviewing people's post maybe I think you can freely give out to those post you feels that are good here in this topics instead of stressing people post their post here for a review. This really look so childish and I don't even expect anyone to post topics here for a review maybe a higher rank member would also support by willing helping to review those post for them to be merited.

However I don't really think earning merits are that challenging because only if you know what you are doing then you must surely earn merits that would probably propel you to the next level, moreover do not try to see this merit of a thing as a limitation to you rather devote time study broadly and equipped yourself with useful materials over here, maybe also try to be more supportive by showing interest in the areas were you found valuable or having much knowledge to what the particular thread is saying about.

To get merit in this days is much more easier than even the time I started the forum. I really struggled to get merit but not in this days that newbies who registered in this year has received more than 200 merits. Though to get merits is not hard if you contribute qualitatively to threads then you will receive it.

And to add to what "Agbe" said, I will want to clarify the notion that earning merit on this forum is not measured by how long spent on the forum, but how active you were able to contribute meaningfully to discussions raised and offering quality solutions to questions asked, as for example, member "A" might have registered on the forum since last year August & yet still has only 50merits, due to the fact that he/she rarely come visit the forum & contribute to discussion, while a member "B" might just be 3 months old on the forum & have already gotten 200 merits due to his/her activeness & quality contribution here.

One thing I have to advise beginners is that don’t be too obsessed with this meriting system. The forum is not all about getting merits, but the most important thing here is we are learning a lot especially from the experiences that have been here ahead of us. And learn lessons from them so that we will never repeat their mistake and eventually regret later on.

However, if your primary goal is to obtain profits through participating from signature campaigns, then maybe you should work on how to get merits. Just enjoy your stay here and learn as much as you can. Soon enough you will be able to make constructive posts that will make you capable to earn merit.

[Onyeeze]

In every beginners thread they are complaining seriously that merit if giving tough time to get and you will see good posts but they lack merit and theirs a way someone will complain about the difficulty of earning merit now and someone will feel like the person is desperate to earn merit but we need to exercise our franchise towards these, i know that to earn a merit you most make a quality post that impact knowledge to people, but many quality post's are out there and they remain unmerited

Congratulations for your achievement and most importantly for understanding how difficult it is to earn merits. It is only when you have understood a problem that you will solve it. I understand the feelings when you have stayed for so long in the forum, but  the people who seems to be newer are having good growth than you.
I can say luckily, you have started receiving attention because your merit count has increased from 50 to 56 after creating this post. But then it is not all about the merit count or rank growth but your growth in bitcoin knowledge.

[tranthidung]

By complaining, they think they are making noise and will be noticed by merit sources, then receive some merit.

i know that to earn a merit you most make a quality post that impact knowledge to people, but many quality post's are out there and they remain unmerited

When you see good, quality posts but are unmerited, you can report them to some merit giveaway threads and wait.

It is test for your view too, if those posts later receive merit from merit sources or normal users, your view is possibly right. If those posts fail to receive merit, it signals that your view about post quality has something is not correct.

Repeat, it is more easily nowadays.

From about 9000 sendable merit in early weeks to more than 39000 sendable merit recent months is very big change that makes ranking up more easily.

Details are in Merit source observation

Those that are equal to the task will always keep going further. Everything is difficult to those who are not ready to learn. Learning is the first thing we need to embrace as a member of this forum and after that we can starts doing things amim the manner which we learnt from. Nothing comes easy so we need to work for everything we earn whether through stress or through extraordinary work input. If we keep saying or agitating that to get merits from the forum is hard then it will cost us so many months to understand that we need to work for it just like others that are getting it.
