What is the best way to gain merits in Bitcointalk

[GeorgeJohn]

Now, i know, yeah I'm a newbie, but in here, gaining merits is so difficult, I was wondering, what is the best way to gain merits,

earning merit is dependable on how you respond to threads, if your response is formative you will be earning merit, if you are creative you will earn merit, because what the forum needs most is to be innovative.

 Things you should consider before making a post, because for you to earn a merits you need to consider the following as a tools

1. Read a post and understand the point of views of the thread before you comment
2. Make sure you cross check what you have written before you post
3. Let your sentence be well arranged, your English language should be comprehensive..
4. Observation is most important, observe the kind of discussion going on before you respond
5. In summary...ensure you make a post were you understand the subject and composition of op.

Now, i know, yeah I'm a newbie, but in here, gaining merits is so difficult, I was wondering, what is the best way to gain merits, so many people won't want to just give merits, and in my own opinion, I think every newbie should have a kind of startup merit, maybe send able or personal or even both so as to navigate in this space.
For sure, this forum is one of the best forums so far when it comes to navigating in the crypto space, all thanks to the founder of Bitcoin and the whole management team, with that being said, I think this my opinion needs to be taken into consideration, provide a newbie startup merits so as to build from there, thanks

As long as this Bitcointalk forum is concerned you are not allowed to ask for merit. As a newbie you need to work very hard and focus on learning how to make a good quility post on the forum rather than asking for merit. One thing you need to understand in this forum is that merit is always awarded to a post that is helpful and meaningful to the forum, so if you want to get merit from high rank members here you most contribute meaningfully in the forum.

[B-BossMan]

Op, bear this in mind that your opinion will never be accepted this way, obviously it's very bad to ask for merits or beg for merits,its even against the forum's rules you just need to work harder and make a quality posts and also insight your good contribution to the forum, to be able to gain merits unexpected.

[JunaidAzizi]

As a newbie, I think it's very difficult to earn merits in a short time because they aren't aware of these things about earning merits. In my opinion, I consider merit as an award from other members for your positive contributions to the forum. The more and better you provide help to someone, the more merits you will receive as appreciation or as an award. I would recommend you to go through the fillippone post where he explains everything about how a person can earn merits on the forum. He is outstanding, having earned 2,900 merits in less than 12 months. He gave 11 hints in his post about merits. What I can learn from him is to consider merit as a knowledge exchange, give merit when you learn something new and receive merit when you teach or provide something new. If you can just work on this single piece of advice, I think you will not only earn merits but also become a reputable person in the forum.

Here is his post link

Welcome mate,as a newbie you ought not focus on receiving merits when all what you've written are not worth meriting,on this forum merit is earned for contributing something quality(Quality over quantity).Merit is an award for quality contribution,to me the merit system is fair, don't expect the management team of this forum to add start-up merit for newbies as part of the merit system,if they do it'll promote alts account on this forum.Receiving merits on this forum is not a bed of roses, you earn them(quality contributions) and not the other way round.
When a person is new on a forum,he or she ought to read the rules of the forum for more clarity,rather than complaining or trying to request for a change of system that has been for years.Read this thread (Everything you need to know about forum 'activity, account ranks and merit),on this thread you'll get to know everything about merit and activity as a newbie.My advise to you as a newbie is to do more of reading and research than contributing.

[SamReomo]

This question has been asked multiple times on this forum and always by newbies. OP, if you really want to earn merits then first try to learn the forum and also try to learn about Bitcoin by reading as many articles and books as you possibly could. And, once you have done those then simply visit one of such threads where users already asked that how they could earn merits and then read all posts in those threads. Trust me if you read those threads then you'll understand how to earn merits in this forum. In simple words, contribute contribute contribute, that's the best way to earn merits, share your knowledge, contribute good posts and you'll see merits coming to you. There's no shortcut to earn merits here, only if you contribute then you'll earn merits.

I think every newbie should have a kind of startup merit, maybe send able or personal or even both so as to navigate in this space.

Terrible idea. This will be abused a lot, increasing the number of registrations to cycle merits. You do not need a merit start-up kit, you only need some knowledge of the rules and the ability to read and assimilate the information shared.

Stop prioritizing merits. It is not the main focus of this forum, bitcoin is. Prioritize how much you can learn about bitcoin and connections you can build.

Think start-up merits for newbies is the most wicked thoughts I have come across ever since I have been reading merits lamenting topics like this one, the ops have failed to acknowledge the importance of merit's system to quality posting in this forum because giving out airdrop merits to newbies will reduce the quality of their contribution from the beginning and that could lead them into missing the whole essence for being a member of the forum.


Newbies avoid full focus on merits and focus on improving your knowledge and giving quality contributions around here, with time you are gonna get the merits that are deserving to your posts as long as you contribute positively to topics around here.

Problem with some newbies is they want to rush everything. They think gaining merit faster is beneficial to them while the fact is the most important thing to get those things is to provide quality post in this forum.

And they can only have or make thay if they are knowledgeable enough. So really more better that instead of getting merit from their post they focus their selves reading this forum and get an idea from people on how they discuss some matters also do more research so they would know many things about crypto. Once they learn a lot and can share something valuable to other people maybe for that their chance to get a merit is high.

So research bring good result and newbie should not be lazy to do it because this is the way how they can help their selves.

You just created a new account, and of course, you just need to roam around right here in the community and find a suitable board to your interests. by that you can get more engagement and contribution on the topic they are discussing if you haven't yet related to those topic internets is free to use so you can ask a question, give your thoughts and contribute to the discussion. You don't need to chase merit as of now enjoy the learning here in the forum by the time goes by merit will come.

When you expect merits, you have to think about what you gave in return to the forum. If you write good content, you can expect merits in return. You have written less than 20 posts so far. There are a lot of Legendary forum member who got their first merit after writing over a hundred posts. You are still a new face in the forum and people don't know your capability. Show us something that is worth a merit, and you don't have to ask for it.

The first rule to get merit is never to ask for it. Personally, I received merits from some posts where I did not expected merits. But I did not received any merits where I was expecting. So, don't be disappointed. Read more, write and stick with the forum. You will start getting merits eventually.

[SOKO-DEKE]

Did you mean giving you merit when your post wasn’t worth it? Because if that is what you meant, then seriously, the forum will be hard for you if you think that way.

Anyone here for the sake of merit will find the forum difficult, because all they will be after is merit, and most of them won’t really stay long here because they will end up going against the forum rules, and their account will be compromised. Forum is not really a difficult place, and if you are a quality poster, then getting merit won’t be difficult. Any newbie joining the forum should make sure they read more and post less, they shouldn’t just post anyhow just because of merit. If you take your time to learn things, then merit won’t really be a problem.

That is the truth about this forum. If any member, whether he or she, is chasing after merits to rank up their account, in fact, it can easily lead to the account being tagged or banned. This happens because the member may constantly look for posts to reply to, aiming to attract the attention of other members to merit their account. From there, the member might start spamming the forum or possibly copying content from another site and posting it here.

This forum does not encourage rushing. What it needs is for you to calm down and learn well. Once you’ve gained knowledge, you can start posting or replying to posts and asking meaningful questions that contribute to the forum. By doing so, merits may naturally start coming to your account.i would advise newbies to first build their knowledge before thinking about ways to earn merits in the forum.

They will just get heavy pressure since they are looking after on something hard to get especially if they don't have any good knowledge on what they are dealing in this forum. So maybe better for them to focus building up good learnings since once they post nicely and it can attract people or let say it help them on some matters then maybe by that reasons they can get a merit. But just like what has been said its better to focus researching, rather than paying to much attention on those things that can discourage them. If he didn't get what he wants like gaining merits for sure that he might decide to quit especially if he feels that its impossible to rank up in that situation.

[Alone055]

The problem with most newbies is that they start inquiring about merits and how they can rank up right after joining the forum. It's probably because they have either been referred by those who are already in this forum or are alts of others. Either way, if one considers this forum a source of income, then one needs to remember that you can't earn money that easily and quickly; no matter what field it is, you will need some knowledge and experience to at least start earning money.

So, those who are coming to this forum with their focus on earning money should understand that it's not an easy process. To earn money from here, you will have to build your profile. You should work on getting as much knowledge as possible and reach a point where your knowledge should reflect through your posts, and that is when you will start getting the recognition you are looking for,

Even if one manages to get some merits either in a legit manner or by cheating or buying them, they should be reminded that merit is not the only thing needed to rank up, the first requirement will always be your activity points, and you can't get enough activity to rank up quicker and you will still have to be active and spend enough time to reach a rank where you can possibly get hired by a manager in a signature campaign if you are worthy of it.

They will just get heavy pressure since they are looking after on something hard to get especially if they don't have any good knowledge on what they are dealing in this forum.

They can start with pinned threads from which they can learn many things for their adventure in Bitcoin forum.

[Bitcointalk sticky threads] Newbies - read before starting.

So maybe better for them to focus building up good learnings since once they post nicely and it can attract people or let say it help them on some matters then maybe by that reasons they can get a merit. But just like what has been said its better to focus researching, rather than paying to much attention on those things that can discourage them. If he didn't get what he wants like gaining merits for sure that he might decide to quit especially if he feels that its impossible to rank up in that situation.

It will be hard for them to start but by learning, they will prepare more knowledge to become better forum members, then they can contribute more. More contributions will help them increase chance to receive merit and rank up.

Just don't think, let's start with learning, then with time and from learning, they will feel they are more ready to help other members with their posts and rankup will become more achievable.

For sure, this forum is one of the best forums so far when it comes to navigating in the crypto space, all thanks to the founder of Bitcoin and the whole management team, with that being said, I think this my opinion needs to be taken into consideration, provide a newbie startup merits so as to build from there, thanks

In order to navigate in this space you don't need merits although to get rank you need merits and getting merits is not that hard although I do agree with you on one thing that many people don't want to give merits to just anyone unless the person's idea really worth that much. In order to get merits as a newbie you must spend some time in your local board as I have seen mostly local moderators are allocated with some merits I suppose and they distribute them in the local board s if your moderator or anyone else liked your posts and they realize it really worth a merit they might give you one.

Otherwise there are merit source threads where you can apply and maybe get approved and get merits as well. I suggest don't chase merits although they look good and very necassary to get rank and until you won't rank your chances to get into some signature is very hard as well if that's what you mean to navigate in the space! Overall keep it up bring good content about crypto and you will do good. Don't judge me on the basis of my merit list hehe as I also don't get any.

You just came in and you’re worried for the wrong things, your concern now shouldn’t be merits. You should be talking of learning and knowing the rules and regulations of the forum and how to navigate and make good quality posts. You don’t get to college or any school and ask to be given a grade when you’ve not written a test or exam, you have to show your ability first before you’re rewarded.
So Please change that your Opinion and Mindset.

If you ask me sincerely, I would say you nailed it. Perfect response for the OP. A newbie merit base for a starter? Am sure abuse will be inevitable.

For me, I think it's better like this, work hard for the merit. this will make newbies dedicated to reading and learning. This continues quest brings the desired knowledge that births merits.. @ un_rank, you have said it all. Weldon

Let me answer you straight and very clear.. what is the best way to gain merits in Bitcoin talk..?? Yea. It has a very simple answer which is....

*Raise threads or post that solves problems. Yea! There are alot of people who seek answers to problems about Bitcoin and related matters. When your post provides some or few solutions to these existing or future problems, then merits will fall like rain for you. So make quality post, be impactful, and merit will never leave your domain.

*But then, remember that to make this quality post, share knowledge and solve a problem in this forum, you need great knowledge about the system. And believe me you that you can't get this much knowledge if you don't read thoroughly and navigate the forum properly. Therefore OP, If you can dedicate to learning through reading threads, and then produce quality post here, Merits will be your friend. Goodluck!

Good idea I must say that you are not the first person that came up with this idea but the way merit philosophy is build is to keep some integrity of the forum, it is going to be abused because the merit system is the only way to rank up in the Forum and not just that, it's the key to getting into signature campaigns in the Forum, if that is done in the Forum, people will use sue privilege to want to rank up new accounts so they can get their ways into the campaigns.

There are plenty of genuine newbies that want the safe way to rank up but it's better if it's left the way it's, if you are active in the Forum, after sometimes you should get one or two and the more recognized your threads and posts get acquainted by the merit sources, the more merit you will earn most often. You can also check out the threads where some merit are given to best posts submitted, check the forum boards, you should be able to locate them.

You still have a long way to go merit is just given like that you must really work hard for it besides this is not the time to be talking about someone giving you Merit which post have you done that was able to solve out problem in this forum when you make a quality post in the right thread you will definitely see merit coming your way, what you need to do now is to focus you must make reading your hobbies also try to be very active in this forum by making a helping post regularly you will definitely see merit coming your way, also try to be going through what others has done for them to be merited and do the same also as a newbie making post in gambling thread won't earn you Merit this is the mistake most newbies make by posting regularly in the gambling thread.
