How do I earn merit?

[SmartCharpa]

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!

You mentioned that you have been around this forum for over a year. If that is the case, then you should have been aware of the required contributions to the forum in order to receive merit, and you should have obtained more information about this forum. I'm still surprised that you ask for guidance. You're welcome, and based on your question, anyone asking a question will know where to go right away. However, getting merit requires knowledge of the guidelines provided by the forum, doing good research about bitcoin, and the creation of a good quality post. If you continue in doing these things, I don't think you will find any merit at all, merit will come to you. If your post is good enough to gain merit, you will, but, people who have thousands of merit didn't get it in a day, their hard work and contribution to the forum's outcome are what got them those points.

By contributing, you earn merit(s). If your post is good, you get 1 merit. If your post is great, people might give you multiple number of merit.
You just do not ask for it. That's how it works. Just keep posting good content, keep people up-to-date and entertained and you will make it.

Wow, 😲 you are speculating this forum for over a year and now you think of creating the account. i mean that's seem dumb because what benefit in spending 1 year in just speculating the forum while the real fun was in creating account and engaging with daily discussion. Well, I will not ask what kept you intact with this forum while you had no interaction with it.

The answer to your question is really easy. Which is you will earn as much merits as much you will contribute to this forum. Contribution in the form of making useful topics and helping others. The more you contribute the more merits you can get. I said can because it is not sure that you will get merits or not. Because you might be thinking this topic would be of any contribution to the forum but you are not getting any merits on that. Its because that topic might not be of contribution for those who have already read it hundred times.

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. <…>

Just to emphasize that the correct answer to the above quote was provided by SquirrelJulietGarden. Merits do not shorten the waiting time between posts in any way, but rather the only parameter that does is Activity, as depicted in the said answer. Merits primarily contribute towards Rank alongside Activity, being the former normally more difficult to increment than the latter in general terms.

One more thing to consider is that the wait time between posts is also influenced by other things you may do on the forum. I can’t recall the complete list, but one of the main ones is performing a search: when you search, the wait time applies to both the amount of time you need to wait to perform another search, and the amount of time you need to wait to create a post.

Have you been paying attention to this forum for more than a year? how could that be! Are you just visiting this forum as a guest?

there are many beginners who ask this, how to get merit and merit but only a few of the beginners want to listen to the advice given by senior members on this forum.  i just add a little that getting merit is not that difficult when you are able to make posts ^{(can be in the form of new topics or just reply messages)} that are of high quality and that are really helpful, it's impossible for you to get merit if the posts you make are off topic and hit by spam, so the thing you have to pay attention to is the literacy of your writing, keep upgrading your insight and be patient.

I would like to welcome all new forum members. But you must have patience and read forum threads to understand forum cultures. Creating merit threads by newbies is really not appreciated here since you are too lazy to read and search. You may simply use the forum search button in case you need to know something. A ton of merit discussion threads have been created here, and you may learn from them instead of just creating new threads. You have to improve yourself on the forum. It's not necessary to reply to every thread, and you don't need to make a faster reply as well. Develop yourself and contribute to the forum. Merit would come based on your contribution.

If you’ve been around for over a year even as a guest and you’ve been reading the threads posted here on, then you must have hpt more than enough clue to earn you just enough merit to be at least a Full member. That’s just one of the possibilities even though your only just creating your account, the knowledge would have been there.

Don’t mind me coming at you this way, I’m just going by what you’ve stated in OP and with the fact that, there have been tons of this sort of thread in the past, not like I don’t wish or have hopes of seeing this sort of thread, of course it’s normal but, having the impression that it’s just been used to troll is what makes it a bad idea and that’s what I feel your doing with this post.

You created your account on December 13th and you have made total 21 posts in your account out of which two are on Lending board, multiple posts are on Alternate cryptocurrencies and some posts you have read in economic section but they are very short. To earn merit through posts you must post constructively. When your posts are constructive you will see that you can earn merit from your posts. There is a lot to learn since you just created your account. You have to know a lot about the forum and about the different sections when you know about those topics you can create good quality posts about specific topics. But to make good quality post you need to know first so keep learning and bring that knowledge here hope you will definitely qualify.

My only advise is just do your diligent study in the forum and you will learn a lot in time. When you have gained adequate knowledge that you can share to everyone, then probably that time it will be easier for you to receive merits since you're now able to create meaningful and quality posts that every member can benefit from it. Learning takes time, so you also need to take your time learning and understanding the forum most especially bitcoin and the crypto market since the whole thing about this forum focuses on bitcoin.

If you have been a year in this site, then you must know already that earning merits is not easily gained, but only given to those who are deserving. Take your time to study the forum first, and be as knowledgeable as you can be. Explore the forum and read all the topics that interest you. That is one way to maximize your learning in this forum.

However, getting merits is another story. You will only achieve it when you're capable already on your task. And by creating high quality posts that attract other members, then it will be easier to give their merits to you once they are starting to see value in your posts.

[Zoomic]

The fact that you have been in this forum for around a year should be an added advantage to you. An added advantage in the sense that even though you are a newbie, I am assuming you used your one year here well by observing how things are done and doing a whole lot of learning.  Everything here revolves around hardwork, once you are hardworking and consistently contribute to the forum by making quality and educative posts and replies,  merits will come. This will reflect in your level of activity.

Those people you see here who have tons of merits didn't get them overnight, It took them years of hardwork to get there. You are new here, start working and you will see the reward. I must warn that you should never be tempted to beg for merits,  work for it! Welcome to the forum.

You can earn merit by making informative posts, good replays, and informative topics. Posting like this will not be necessary to earn merit. Your wise post will help you earn merit. I want to tell you that if you give enough time you can earn merit like others and attain higher positions. You can also try to remember those who are consistently posting good informative posts and gain knowledge from their posts. Go ahead with good creative thinking hope you too can do something good sometime and your hope will be fulfilled.

Welcome! If you want to earn merits, you should acquire enough experience to enable yourself to make valuable contributions on boards and specialties that match your expertise. You can contribute and reduce your need to ask for answers to your questions. Also, these types of topics indicate that, throughout the year you spent in the forum, you did not familiarize yourself with many questions about the basics of the forum. Therefore, the difference is not in the time you have been around here but in what you have offered and gained in terms of experience to enrich the content and help others.

Good luck in your journey, and don't forget that there is a search box at the top that you can use to search for your questions and topics that have been previously answered without repeating topics.

Of course, think about the posts you need and want.  Because if you make unnecessary posts in this forum, the moderators will delete them, so if someone needs to, they will not delete those posts. With these things Merit rank up system is very nice because it is very difficult for newbies to rank up in this bitcoin forum. But those who are wise among them gain merit quickly and are promoted. Thank you also take the necessary steps to become wiser.

You have joined the forum for a week and you must be patient. However, if you engage in discussions, provide thoughtful insights, and provide valuable information to the community, your chances of merit will increase. It's not about the quantity of your posts, but the quality and value you provide to the forum. Take the time to familiarize yourself with the forum guidelines and observe how experienced members communicate and contribute. This will help you better understand what constitutes a quality post and how to effectively participate in the community. Remember, building a good reputation and earning qualifications takes time and effort. This is not something that can be achieved overnight. Hope you continue with patience and you will succeed.

Your account is still not up to a week on the forum. I don’t know how you said you have been here for around a year now, but if that is true, you are supposed to be aware of how merit systems work and are not good at begging for merit. You create meaningful and educative content, and the forum members will appreciate your contribution by meriting your post. People you see with thousands of merits did not beg for a single one of them; they worked for it, so even you too, that is the only way you can earn merit. Merit is not hard to earn; just know what to do, and merit will come naturally.

This topic is very repetitive for the newbies I recommend visiting the meta board most of the active members are right there or you can check it out here on bpip.org to see the Most merited person and Most recognized as possible with your guide for your journey, by observing their posting habit, quality of contents and contribution to the community.

Nothing new people come often here because they want to earn immediately and they saw one of the requirement is merit so they really want to urge at least have of it.

[Dunamisx]

You can earn merit by making informative posts, good replays, and informative topics.

Where on earth could a newbie with the intention of making merits have time to work to that extent of giving their best in making a quality post when all they could is chasing after earning merits, this forum is meant for nothing than bitcoin discussions, merits was introduced to chase away the spammers, reduce them and confine them to a particular area in other to restrict them from ranking up, a newbie indeed should have the mind of learning first and not earning.

Have you compared your posts and their posts (people who gets tons of merits)?
You need to learn first how people get merits, don't just asking it without understanding something. Before you created this post, you have your own opinion about this case at least.

FYI, people only could earn merits if they created something valuable. I've checked your post history, you need to improve your post quality and your knowledge first, so you can contribute something valuable. Examples of valuable things: sharing important news, helping people's problems, and fighting scammers or spammers. Have you done one of these things? If you never did this, how you can assume you deserve for merits, mate.

Were you pushed to create an account just because of the tonnes of merit you saw in other people’s accounts? Why did you even decide to join the forum? The tonnes of merits that you see in people’s profiles, you can also get them,  just make sure you start making meaningful contributions to the forum here. If you are interested in learning about bitcoin, you are at the right place. You can ask any question if you don’t get anything right, and if you see any post and you have any meaningful contribution to make, then you can do that. That’s the only way I know that you can get merit, if you think there is any quick way to get merit, then you are wrong. People with tonnes of merits in their profiles really worked for it, so you can do it too.
