What to do to get merit reward?

[HONDACD125]

We should be ready to understand the forum because it's not all about making posts, alot of things are just there for us to grab and understand. Merits awarded depends mainly on your hardwork and patience, can you wait? The forum is not easy as it seems, it requires consistency and hardwork towards making constructive posts that compacts vital information. Remember to make posts regarding important trends that picks the interest of top ranking status members.

You are right, however, it is not only about top-ranked members because even a newbie who received 2 merits can send one merit to another user. So a user doesn't need to impress high-ranked members to get merits but they should generally focus on their posts and their quality so that the readers understand everything they read and at least get something out of what has been posted.

Staying on-topic and not repeating the points others have pointed out are key factors to a quality post among others. Some newbies think that creating long posts mean they are making quality posts which isn't true, there is a difference between quantity and quality.

Hello everyone, I have been here for a few weeks/months now but I'm yet to receive "merit" so I'm just worried

Why are you desperate to get merit? You can be here for years and you won’t receive merit, and you can create account today and you will receive merit today. It’s not about how long you stay on the forum here, it’s about the quality of the post you are making, how useful the information which you are passing is. Anyone that finds your post useful will merit you, and I don’t know why you are worried because you haven’t received merit, hope you know merit won’t stop you from posting on the forum here, so there is nothing to be worried about.

Someone already gave you one merit, am sure you will be happy, and you can now know how it feels to receive merit. All what I will tell you is that you should improve your posting pattern and you are going to be receiving merit.

The length or shortness of the post does not determine the quality, of course because the quality of the post is determined by how useful your post is for other user and how constructive it is. However, what you need to remember is that not all posts that you consider quality have to earn merit. Each user becomes very selective in sending merit to other users even though the quality can be seen objectively or subjectively.

What you need to do is consistently post useful things constructively and actively participate in quality topics. Not many merit sources visit general topics, most of them tend to be on technical or other useful topics.

To earn merit you need to improve your thinking, gain knowledge, learn more about cryptocurrencies and make quality posts. The more you read, the more you gain knowledge, the more quality posts you can post and you can earn merit through good posts. So do more research and post good quality.

[GiftedMAN]

Op, if you want to gain merit, there's nothing to do other than be yourself and concentrate on learning how to improve in your knowledge of cryptocurrency, merits are rewards for good works so you need to be able to understand how to have a good communication with members, share useful informations that will be useful to members of the forum and stop begging to be merited and go on with your learning process you will see how you will be rewarded in due time. For now focus more on reading, learn to be original and stop looking for short cuts it won't help you to grow in knowledge and what you are asking for.

I read a few replies to this post on merit. I understand that I will be credited for my insightful words and helpful discussions. My question is how many merits can I improve my rank?

Hello everyone, I have been here for a few weeks/months now but I'm yet to receive "merit" so I'm just worried, please can someone tell me what I will need to do or how long I will need to be here for before I get merit and other rewards?

It is not a crime to stay long in the forum without having a single merit because people come with different ambitions in this forum.

Your aim and seriousness fetch you merits even without asking others on how to earn or get merits.

I have seen so many replies that shared you some links on the guide on the various forum rules, activity, and merits; you can see that quality posting is the result to earn merits and also given quality contributions in the forum at the right time will also fetch some merits.

The forum ranks are from Newbie to legendary and the merits requirements is explained  here, if you carefully read this thread, you will understand how the forum ranks are.

Don't worry, everyone has a process and there are many things you can follow to increase your merit. The condition is that the post is long and constructive and has useful content and then look for links that provide merit assistance like here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5412657.0

Don't forget to read the rules and posts wherever they have to be placed and follow the steps on how to make it like our friends or seniors there.

That is it. Earning merit is measured by the knowledge you have got to share. Earning merit shouldn't just be the main focus because when it is chased without having the right knowledge to share with others it won't come. Merit is as a result of the knowledge onr have about Bitcoin and things related to Bitcoin. People don't earn merit because it is avaliable but merit is given as reward of giving out useful information that will be of good benefit to other members.  Just think about what it means to earn merit, it is not something that just come like that instead it is some thing gotten by hardwork, patience , consistency and to be focused. 

If you want to earn merit you don't need to complain why you have not got any,  instead you need to work very hard for people to give it to you freely that is why it is called merit.

[xLays]

I'm surprised that no one mentioned to the OP that you can earn merits by joining a contest here on Bitcointalk.

I think the Bitcointalk 10th anniversary art contest is one of the contests with the most earned merits here on Bitcointalk. Theymos distributed a total of 9,991 merits.
Here's another opportunity to earn merit by joining contest: Bitcoin Pizza Day on Bitcointalk

There is no specific time or mentioned time that you need to stay active here, Although if any other member finds your post best or feels it deserves merit he/she will give you merits just focus on sharing quality posts and constructive posts. Besides this do not use any shortcut to get merits because if you get caught by the watcher using any shortcut way to earn merits your account can be tagged as negative feedback. Now, you may think about what kind of shortcuts I am talking about so there are some things you need to follow to build your reputation good on the forum.

Do not use AI-generated based content, Do not copy past from other sources and if you are doing this must share the link of the sources from where you copy/quote the data. Just stay natural and keep active on the forum, and keep participating in the hot discussions where there chances of getting merits are high in this way you may get merits.

I think OP will eventually get used to it, especially if he realizes why merit is needed.

Yes. It's true that OP must improve the quality of reading and be able to write posts that are constructive, have meaning and are useful for others.

It's better not to ask about general things if you have already mastered them, but it's better to focus on things that are new and related to crypto in particular and the future development of this technology.

If there is a visionary issue, it is even stronger.

[Ishicryptic]

I believe that any newbie that joins this forum and their main focus will be to get merit might be in for a Big disappointment, I have seen many accounts with activities that is in their hundreds and their merit are very small whily others have smaller activities with higher merit. So I decided that getting merit in the forum is only when another account decides to give it to you, in appreciation of your posts that impresses them, that is why I think that it is best to focus on learning about cryptocurrency in the forum, because I observed that forum members are very eager to guide newbies in their journey to learning and gaining knowledge about the cryptocurrency.

[teamsherry]

Honest response, merit is awarded by who ever has one and its a choice to give out those merit, so if you haven't been getting merit it means that you might need to give more helpful information to the forum, although there are merit sources that have the job if distributing merit to quality posts on the forum, take a chill pill and relax.

Hello everyone, I have been here for a few weeks/months now but I'm yet to receive "merit" so I'm just worried

Why are you desperate to get merit? You can be here for years and you won’t receive merit, and you can create account today and you will receive merit today. It’s not about how long you stay on the forum here, it’s about the quality of the post you are making, how useful the information which you are passing is. Anyone that finds your post useful will merit you, and I don’t know why you are worried because you haven’t received merit, hope you know merit won’t stop you from posting on the forum here, so there is nothing to be worried about.

If you join a new school and everyone is being cheered for doing something significant and you stayed for months and not even noticed let alone receive a cheer, trust me you will feel so bad as though you are a terrible person. In such situation, it behold on you to ask questions and inquire about what you are not doing correctly or what you have to do to be in tandem with your contemporaries. This is not by any way called desperation but just being inquisitive. As long as merit is a measure of post quality in the forum, it will always feel good when one receives it as; it shows that the user is making meaningful contribution. Even though I will not encourage anyone to post simply because you want to earn merit rather posts should be made to join discussion in the group, learn and contribute meaningfully so that merit should only be a product of such contribution.

What I will advice the OP is never to struggle to impress the users instead be yourself and appreciate your level of understanding of Bitcoin and the underlying technology. Make conscious effort to learn and keep growing in knowledge because every other reward you will receive is a product of knowledge.

Staying on this forum for a long time doesn't guarantee you will earn merit if you are not up and doing. Getting merit here is not that hard if you know the kind of thread to create or comment to make. For you to get merit here, always make sure the post you will create or comment you will make is solving problems on this forum. For instance, if someone has not been to Denmark before and that person asks for a guide on this forum on how to get to Denmark, you quickly direct the person with your comment on the thread the person created on how he can get to Denmark. If any member sees your comment and notices that what you told the person is a good guide that can take the person to Denmark, he will give you merit because your comment has been helpful to a member of this forum. 

[Lukmanfirdaus1]

I don't know either, because in my opinion merit is an award given when readers feel interested, happy and relevant to your post. if you can't do that maybe your merit will remain 0 forever. but what I regret is why people keep talking about merit, even though that's not the essence of this forum, right? Nowadays I notice that people make merit their main goal and deify merit. so sad. For me, merit is nothing more than likes on Facebook.

Hello everyone, I have been here for a few weeks/months now but I'm yet to receive "merit" so I'm just worried, please can someone tell me what I will need to do or how long I will need to be here for before I get merit and other rewards?

But if you live like a fool all your life you will not get merit.  In order to get Mered, the information must be posted in a suitable and quality manner. Then you can earn merit, you always notice the posts of senior brothers surely you will find the solution.

[FinePoine0]

Basically merit is given here based on good and quality informed questions, because whenever a person gives merit that person is calm on the post. Sometimes everyone will avoid other or unnecessary posts, so you must earn merit by posting quality posts. If the people who post gratuitously never qualify and are idiots.  Because no one is ever stupid when it comes to modern age so the more you can learn from this forum the more you can reach the roots of improvement.

Generally, forum members are given a wide latitude of discretion on how they would want to distribute/give their merits to someone. Perfect example here would be your own post as someone merited you for asking this question.

There are no answers that can give you perfect results but here are some guidelines that I have compiled during my journey here in this forum which garnered me some merits:

• Make your discussions/topics concise and informative;
• Contribute to the forum (e.g. reporting scams, etc.);
• Fix your grammar and at least know how to reply to some threads by being relevant;
• Share interesting posts or facts; and
• Share some memes on proper boards.

Again like I mentioned, there are tons of ways for you to get merits but I do suggest that instead of focusing on getting merits, prioritize first on learning in this forum. By applying this kind of perspective, you would be able to contribute to the forum that will ultimately garner you some merits along the way.
