How do I earn merit?

[nycfed]

Hello, new bitcointalk user, been around on this site for around a year or so, just never decided to create an account. I’ve seen people with tons of merit! But yet I have not a single clue on how to gain any, whilst people have thousands! Pretty much a newbie when it comes to posting . But any help works, thank y’all!

By stopping to ask questions like this and doing more reading first in the forum, and also not forgetting to make use of the forum search button, which can help you locate similar threads and the advice given to those who asked such questions,.
 
If you can be productive, ask helpful questions, provide valid solutions and answers to questions, and think less about how to earn merit, you will receive merit as a reward for your good work. It's as simple as that.
 
At first, it seems very hard to earn, but if you look deep down and understand how things work, think a little less about how to earn those merits, and just be yourself, you can even earn the merit in a post that you might least be expecting it from.

If you look at those people that has this tons of merit you will find another thing close to it as activity which means they have been doing some activities that resulted to merits.

If you want to be like them you need to go here https://learnmeabitcoin.com/ and read all about Bitcoin written in there and whatever you don't understand you can come back to the forum and use search button and find the thread that has the answers but if it's complicated to you can always ask questions. Go try it out buddy!

Best regards

Well the main reason why I’d like to earn merit is because I have to wait 360 seconds just to reply + post a topic. Kind of annoying, and the only way to fix that from what I’ve read is to earn more merit. Thank you for replying to this though, gives me a bit more understanding and one more question, to search up a question, do I have to click on the topic that’s for the question that I am looking for? Or am I able to just search it up?

Buy copper member account if you want to by pass such limit.

But how fast are you to read through the post and want to reply within a few restricted seconds? Or is it about creating new threads just like you did after creating this one?
 
Any way, with a copper member, your waiting time will be reduced, and it's almost or even equal to a member rank by some limit, if I'm correct. Just so you know, being a Copper member does not give you immunity from getting banned if you violate any of the forum rules, and the money paid is not refundable.
 
Just for typing this comment, you dropped another thread on the Altcoin discussion.

What I will say to you is that you are welcome to the Bitcointalk forum. Although you are a newbie to the forum, similar topics of this nature have been discussed several times in this forum, where you will see newbies are just after the merit or the rank, not maintaining the space of learning. As someone who is new to the forum, I didn’t expect you to start by asking how to get merit but to ask for help or questions about how you will be a beneficiary Bitcointalker.

Some people came here to achieve knowledge, some came for the money in signature campaigns, and some came to share their experience with others, so if you are new to a place, you should first of all learn what it is all about before thinking about achieving what others have. From your post, you said you have known about the sites for around a year now but don’t have any active accounts, so I will share some links with you, though you didn’t request for them, but I see they will be very helpful for your stay here in Bitcointalk, and I will also encourage you to engage in reading and research.

Welcome to the forum. Merits are like the reward you get for contributing meaningfully to the forum. Members will give merits to your post if they find it helpful or if it assists them in certain ways. Quality posts that answer questions, ask relevant question, and is creative or innovative will always attract merits. For now, your focus shouldn't be on how to earn merits because you have not learned much about Bitcoin and the forum. If your knowledge about Bitcoin and the forum increases, I can assure you that you will earn some merits.

Most newbies who focus first on earning merit become discouraged if they don't get it and it could be frustrating which could lead to leaving the forum. So if you want to enjoy the forum, give more attention to learning and less to merit and you will gradually gain them because of your positive contribution to the forum..

I’m not aware of what the rules are, like I said, I’m new. I didn’t know that creating a bunch of threads could get me banned? (if that’s what you were trying to tell me) I am just trying to have a few conversations going in stuff that I’m interested in, which is why I’ve created multiple threads. I’m sure when you first joined this site, you were curious on how stuff works, just as I am, but I’ll be sure to check out the rules, guess that’s what I should’ve done in the first place. And just so you know, I’m not just here for Merit, I don’t even know what its for, I was just trying to gain knowledge on how people have so much and how it works/how to gain it.

I think Rome  was not built a day, those who you saw with tons of merit did not get those merit by a platter of gold, but by hard work and consistency before they could achieve that. I also ask myself such question when i came new. But now I have learnt that for you to succeed in this forum you must develop the habit of reading to know how to make quality post that will earn merits. Because merits will come when you engage in more serious discussion than only asking question.

How about you starting from the rules^[1]? Since you don’t know the rules of the forum despite stating that lurking around the forum for a long time.

I’m not just here for Merit, I don’t even know what its for, I was just trying to gain knowledge on how people have so much and how it works/how to gain it.

If you don’t know how it works then how did you know that earning some will reduce your waiting time before you can make a comment? In just a week of you creating an account you have made two loans request and one has already been rejected (and we also know what the outcome of the second one will be though). If you want to be part of the community be a part of it, don’t scam or make up stories to get loans that you won’t pay back.

The limit will be lesser when you have more than 14 posts and 14 activity points even you don't get any merit to rank up to Jr. member, you will be able to make a post with a waiting time less than 360 seconds. It will become about 60 seconds between two posts that is enough for you to write a post and post it.

If  your post is not spam, I think compose it in 30 or 60 seconds is possible so the waiting time (60 seconds) is not a big problem. You need 4 more posts to get to that more friendly waiting time.

What are the time limits on posting and the levels??
I know 360 seconds are for new people like me, but was wondering if there was break down somewhere on this.

Code:

waittime = 360;
if(activity >= 15)
        waittime = (int)(90 - activity);
if(activity >= 60)
        waittime=(int)(34.7586 - (0.0793103 * activity));
if(activity >= 100)
        waittime = max((int)(14-(activity/50)), 4);

Just ensure you dedicate your strength and effort of learning those things that are related to cryptocurrency, so that you can acquire knowledge of cryptocurrency and it can improve your quality post in the bitcointalk.org which is the best way for newbies to earn merits in the platform. Those legendary and hero members you saw with huge amount of merits in the platform took their time to study so many things that related to cryptocurrency before they were able to achieved a potential skills that made them to become a professional in the platform and to be in such position today.

Just be patience, I think you will surely get there when your time come because there are some rules and regulations that governed the merits source in the platform and if you are in a hurry to rank up to member or full member rank it can lead you to bad situation that will make you to be ban from the platform once you disobey the rules that deserve the punishment.

You said you've been here for about a year or so before deciding to create an account, so what do you find here during that time period if you still ask this simple question here. I hope you don't miss this Thread ^[1], this ^[2] and this ^[3].
Study all the descriptions in the thread to increase your insight while in the forum and learn more about how to get Merits. At first it's a little confusing, but you have to dare to do something new to contribute to the forum by producing quality posts. Merit is not something that is difficult to obtain, develop the abilities you have to achieve your goals.

OP, you must understand that people here are used to seeing such topics, and this raises a lot of questions among users since many new people do not know how to look for answers on their own. But no one will ban you for creating several topics. We would just like to see something unique since your question is answered regularly.
And yes, you are not here for the sake of merit, but there is another reason why you most likely decided to register on the forum.
Your first post on the forum is a request for a loan. But since you are a newbie and have no reputation, you will always be denied credit.
Will you still be interested in the forum after this comment?

Hello, new bitcointalk user, been around on this site for around a year or so, just never decided to create an account. I’ve seen people with tons of merit! But yet I have not a single clue on how to gain any, whilst people have thousands! Pretty much a newbie when it comes to posting . But any help works, thank y’all!

There's a lot of threads similar like this and for sure you can't get that merits if you keep asking this question without doing any research so its best for starter like you to research first before asking some obvious question. This could make you a little smarter to ask more important question rather than asking on how to earn a merit which is already been ask by other and now its up for you to read so you can learn from the words posted by people in this forum.

Imagine you are here for a year but still you didn't learn anything so much better if you put some effort to research since this is more helpful to you rather than being lazy around or try to seek those people who will spoon feed you with the information's you want to know.

[reagansimms]

The time you have spent here for more than a year is wasted if after creating an account you are still throwing questions like this on the forum. The merit system is not moderated directly by the forum, you can get it if the posts you make are considered quality by other users. Looks like you should spend more time on forums to learn this simple thing.
Merit is not to be chased, but will come to you if you are able to produce quality posts. Study all the topics that successfully invite merit, you will better understand how the merit system works.

You must be patient if you want to make progress in this forum. You can't become great overnight if you haven't gone through some procedures to get there. You have not received any merit because you have not made any posts that any member has deemed worthy of merit. Take a look at those who have been merited, and look at their pattern of posts to see how they earned those merits; you can learn from them and improve yourself through the posts you make in this forum.

Just like you have explained, patience and consistency is one of the key to earning merits as a member of this community. We don't have to rush things because we want to grow quickly as start making money. Even with the merit system, there are some campaigns that don't care about merits when applying for them. This is more of a quality posts and the way we structure our posts. There are few managers that based there acceptance of signature campaigners on merits but still some that wouldn't care if you have large bunch of merits. You need to be a quality posters before you are accepted into the campaign.

If your reason for being on this forum is all about earning merits I don't think you will do very good on here because the reason why this forum was created is to help beginners like you to understand more about crypto and the blockchain system, you need to spend your time on learning as a newbie I expect someone like you to start creating some topics about things you don't understand or start asking questions about some things you want to know in crypto space.

If one of your question is good enough someone can send you merits,. You can also earn merit by helping people out on this forum, all you have to do is engage in different discussions and try to solve some problems  that some other people are having but I don't expect such thing from a newbie anyway because you don't have the knowledge at all, you can't help people, you are the one that need help to acquire some crypto knowledge.

Ask yourself why you are on this forum, and start working on it, ask questions, engage in discussions, keep learning more about the block chain, I believe there are many things you don't know about crypto right now.

[hugeblack]

Frankly, I understand that beginners may ask about anything in the forum, and I may do that if I join a new forum, but some things can be found with a Google search, and how to earn merits has been discussed at least hundreds of times, so creating such topics will not help you collect more.
lock this topic, create at least 30 posts, do not spam, and if you do not get merits, make a link to your best posts in the merit sources topics.
