Honestly rushing won't get you anywhere and you will end up messing up, fast rank up doesn't work out well if you are always in rush instead love what you do and you will be loved back, talk about crypto, solve problems, create interesting topics that people will want to talk about, there is no short cuts to growing

Lots of newbies fall in to this problem where they tend to rush posting while sacrificing quality.

Like what I previously mentioned to similar posts such as this one, the more you rush on getting merits, the harder would it be for you to actually receive one. Instead, focus on contributing to the forum (i.e. reporting scams, creating meaningful and insightful topics, share knowledge, etc.) and the merits will be the one chasing after your posts.

Every legendary member in the forum was once a newbie. Even the top ranking members here were once a newbie. But what separates them from at least 90% of the newbies is that they pushed harder and contribute enough to attain their respective ranks.

Your main aim should be to provide quality content via posting, sharing your knowledge with other members and promote a healthy discussions on the forum instead of making a thread for every small news or making irrelevant posts.Increase your knowledge and try to learn new things from experienced forum members and implement them.With all these your post quality and knowledge will rise which will eventually make you legendary or hero member with lot of merits and trust.This forum is open for all and you can share anything which is useful for the community and learn which you don't know.Soon you will see results if you keep the pace.

At this start it's better as early show up yourself and makes a contribution to our forum by this there is a lot of people who notice your contents and quality contents by that they can recognize you easily. Sometimes merit and the higher rank it's not all about here still it depends on the quality of the post you can give and share. We are looking forward to having more new era of members giving and trying to give their best to rank up immediately. Still looking forward to your good contents.

Growth is what we all anticipate for and it brings in some level of fulfilment. I was once a newbie so was every one who have earned merits as well as activities. Knowledge been the principal reason why we are here has to be our major concern not just the level we have attained because fame without knowledge isn't useful at all.

Newbie and legendary ranks have the same freedom here and I noticed most newbies don't want to learn from legendary posts. I will definitely give merit to the newbie if the account deserves it.

Ranking is just an award that you achieve even I don't want to be legendary but want to be knowledgeable about bitcoin and provide the latest education to post on this forum so that it will attract a lot of interest by other members.
The ranking is how we have reached the peak of the highest score where people give us merit for the insights given and make them amazed, that's what I want the very broad knowledge I want.
You have a good example of goal that you wanted to achieve but what about op and other lower ranks?. I always read in a thread of a lower rank like newbies, jr. member or even member wanted to rank but did not set a goal to achieve. There is a reason why this forum is created which the answer is very obvious and that is to RSL (Read Share Learn).

When you post in a thread, that thread gets added to your watchlist.
You have to enable this first: Click Profile > Notifications and Email > Automatically watch topics after replying to them.
See:
I don't understand why anyone would not use the watchlist. You can configure the watchlist to be exactly the same as "show new replies to your posts" by configuring your posts to be auto-watched and adding your posted-in topics to your watchlist. After this is done, you can unwatch topics that you don't want to see.

You have only three messages, and you conclude that experienced participants do not quite treat beginners correctly.

Which could only mean we have an alt here or someone trying to play the pity game. The funny thing about most account complaining about them not recieving merit is when you try reviewing the account, hardly will you find any outstanding contributions. Mostly average post you'll see and yet they go around crying they're not been merited.

Instead of chasing after the merit OP make it get attracted to you due to your contributions, if you observe closely, we have members recieving merits in their numbers not because of some privilege instead as a result of their dedications to they forum.

All their posts are always construction and worth reading. I doubt you won't get the appreciation you deserve if you can level up your game and make it become a habit and not merely a disguise to get rewarded and rank up.

a Hero or a Legentary member can have his account hacked and return back the start...
happened to me
my stolen acount was hero account: Lowbander80
I see that you already created a thread in Meta about your account being hacked and you were advised to get in touch with the account recovery team. If you have access to the original email you registered the account with + you can provide a signed message from an address posted somewhere on the forum (an unedited post), your chances of a successful recovery are high. Did you do all that?

It's sometimes difficult for me to know when there are replies on my trend. I don't know if it's because am not used to the forum. Is there no way a notification can bimp to me if there is a reply to my post.
When you post in a thread, that thread gets added to your watchlist. The newest replies are shown on the top. Just search the first couple of pages of your watchlist by entering CTRL+F KingsDen to see if any of the threads created by you have some new replies. That wont show you if someone replied to one of your posts, just if there are new replies in your threads. That's how I do it.

To see if someone mentioned me or replied to one of mine posts, I use LoyceV's notification bot. Instructions on how to sign up are in the 1st and 2nd post.

There is no forum based notifier when you are quoted on the forum, but you can use one of multiple mechanisms:
a)   Use the forum’s search function at will (which is what I do):
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.57042061

b)   Use external sites and/or notifications through Telegram. The two most popular I believe are:
-   https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/telegram-yet-another-bitcointalk-notification-bot-merits-mentions-topics-5248878
-   https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/loycevs-notification-bot-7-days-retroactive-5331343

Concerning your second question, you shouldn’t really post multiple posts in a row on the same thread, especially if it’s in a very small timeframe. It you want to answer to 10 people on the thread, you can quote the relevant part of each of them, and answer below each quote, providing multiple answers in a single post. If the post ends-up being rather long, you may reach the post size limit and need to post a couple in a row (reaching post size limit should justify this).

Dont get trigger with other high rank members here in forum. You have privilege even you are newbie to speak and discuss knowleagble things about bitcoin and crypto.
Many members here that are high ranks now are also kust like you before mate. Learning and keep making mistakes but thats fine. Along the way youll correct some of those and be recognize as one of the reputable member of thsi forum.

Remember rank is just a bonus, you can even surpass them in knowledge and charisma once you discuss amazing thing about bitcoin. Goodluck with your journey.

All of the people who are experienced or with a higher knowledge were once a newbie before they got in that position.

There's no such thing as an instant success or high rank, you need to work hard for that in order for you to be in that position.

Don't mind the struggle, learn how to overcome it and achieve it as soon as possible.

Don't focus on earning merits, just focus on your goal and your duty here in our forum.

Best of luck to your journey and I hope that you achieve your desires.

I made this post in two categories; first to encourage the newbie and second to advice the old members.

For the newbie, I believe most of us are sharing in my wish. My wish to become a legend, a legend with so much merits and positive trust.  But dreams do not come true without hardwork.
First we must appreciate and accept our newbie status by showing the inclination to learn.
We should learn by keen observations, by reading through the posts of the old members, this will help pattern our attitude in the forum, it will also help us to grow with the norms and ethics of the forum.
By so doing our passion for the forum will be high, it is the passion that creates the way to success.

For the Old members, I will liken the forum to a building from foundation to roofing.
The building at the foundation stage does not make it less building, but it is the stage at which the engineer puts much efforts and expertise. Take the newbie as the foundation, help us grow, for if the foundation is wrongly laid, it will have a significant negative effects at the completion stage.

Congratulations to me for having an account in this forum, I am looking forward to a rapid and sustainable growth with your help.


Thank you everyone. I have been reading replies, and they are all awesome. I will never forget this trend, I would always return here for some guidelines because some older members have done noble already through their replies.
But, I have some questions please.

It's sometimes difficult for me to know when there are replies on my trend. I don't know if it's because am not used to the forum. Is there no way a notification can bimp to me if there is a reply to my post.

I understood that my post should not follow one after the other, without another's post interfering (I don't know if I have rightly conveyed what is in my mind) Assuming I am offline, before I come online, I will meet like 10 replies, would it be wrong to be replying the posts serially. Please I need answers.

You should not only apply patience on waiting for different cryptocurrencies price to grow, if you have been in the forum for a while you clearly know how much perseverance is required for you to achieve a high ranking. Before, you can rank up through the number of activities but now, you need to gain merit from other forum members before you can level up. This somehow filtrated the real ones who posts and comments and those who only does this for post count. Other than the benefit it gives once you join a bounty, having a high rank gives you the reputation of being a useful and helpful member in the forum.

I wonder if other newbies would still dream of ranking up if there ain't bounty campaigns here. Roll Eyes
Only a handful would, and honestly, only a handful of already ranked up accounts would remain active should there be no incentive to post on the forum. This is a natural behavior, users here like Bitcoin and wish to discuss about it just as they would update their social media profiles, but the campaigns here brings a certain level of commitment to read and make useful posts, more than I see on some other discussion platforms with no avenue for earnings. This creates a sort of chicken and egg situation, as most bounties choose bitcointalk cause of the high traffic, largely generated by spam.

Assuming a newbie makes a good thread/topic/discussion but then s/he does not engage nor care about the replies of the people wanting to discuss with the thread and then just moves on to make another thread.
This does not encourage discussions but is the reality of the situation. Most of the members replying to the "discussions" also do not bother coming back to check on the thread but ony try to meet their weekly quota.

I might be overreacting a little bit, I suppose. My apologies for that.

It is just that I commonly encounter newbies that were/are seeing this website as an earning platform instead of just a simple forum where we can all have relaxing discussion with a little icing on the side which are those bounties or SCs.

Assuming a newbie makes a good thread/topic/discussion but then s/he does not engage nor care about the replies of the people wanting to discuss with the thread and then just moves on to make another thread.
It becomes like a merit fishing in order to reach the goal of ranking up, thus making them able to join signature campaigns, rather than posting something that encourages engagement/discussion for people wanting to share their thoughts with the OP.

Can't really blame them. Where the money is, that's where the opportunity arises. Bitcointalk is no exception.

We can still have relaxing conversations, but it's mainly Bitcoin-centric (let's exclude local boards) with lack of diverse subforums so naturally conversations are steered towards those associated with bounties and campaigns. Meanwhile, Off-Topic is a special creature of its own...

And about newbies creating one topic after another, you could simply add them to the ignore list or just bear with them. Either they don't get the Merit they always wanted and quit or eventually learn how to flow along and become one of those rapid earners.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to rank up and reach a higher rank on the forum. The reasons could be bounty campaigns or signature campaigns, just like you mentioned. You wear a signature yourself, and so do I. Why are you in a signature campaign? We both like seeing those incoming transactions in our wallets at the end of each week. I assume, OP would like that as well.

Other reasons include gaining respect and recognition. Seeing that the effort you put in to create and share content is appreciated by other members. That motivates you to keep going and trying even harder.

I mean, we all want to rank up and stuff. But am I the only one out here who thinks these kind of posts are quite sketchy, as if there is something else behind the reason of their writing? I mean.. besides financial gain, there is not much you can do in the top ranks without working hard but I feel like this has to come from the inside of your own heart. Never felt the need to be "inspired" by other members... if you enjoy this place just like any other forum, you'll earn your own spot in here - you don't have to feel like you're working for a top-tier spot. It comes by itself... I mean no offense but every time I read these kind of posts I get a weird vibe, lol.

We've all been there, the zeal to rid ourselves of the inferior Newbie status :p

You can still be pretty knowledgeable to crypto without being a Legendary if you just read around here.

@OP Your post is really well-written I gotta be honest, but why you're wishing to be a "legend" or Legendary supposedly you mentioned that "legend with so much merits and positive trust".

"We all have the same access to information in the forum, and we have the same amount of freedom to discuss about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general" Yes, I strongly believe this, maybe the major difference is some came earlier than others and maybe others are knowledgeable than some.

Yeap, hence why you should specifically focus on gaining knowledge and not necessarily achieving a higher rank. Don't get me wrong, I love Bitcointalk, but a higher rank won't get you much anywhere, but high levels of knowledge would get you almost anywhere.

You should probably aim for a higher dream, buddy. Outside signature campaigns and bragging rights, there's really nothing much "up" here. We all have the same access to information in the forum, and we have the same amount of freedom to discuss about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. Having a lot of merits(hence a higher rank) is just a sign of having a good amount of knowledge in this space.


This is great!  I really appreciate. This kind of post gives confidence and motivates.

Well, I never experienced it myself but, I heard some users assumed there ranks by default and never knew what it felt like to be a newbie. Especially those that created an account non the platform as early as 2009-2015. The new generation of Bitcointalkforum started mainly after then especially with the introduction of the merit system in 2017 to ensure quality posting on the forum.
Legends of that era are the once that can actually tell as to how much work that is required to grow in the ranks available on the forum. For a fact, newbies are quite fortunate when it comes to getting your first 1-10merits as, ranked up users often lowers there judgemental standards. If this isn't done, it would be very difficult a newbie to archive even 1merit.

We should learn by keen observations, by reading through the posts of the old members,
It not all the posts made by old members that can guide you through the forum or your crypto journey cause some posts are full of misinformation and it be good in everything pertaining to crypto you'll need to read good crypto book.

this will help pattern our attitude in the forum, it will also help us to grow with the norms and ethics of the forum.
For the forum ethics, what you need is reading the forum rules and regulations and ask question about something you don't understand.

First, welcome to the forum. Your post is very well worded. But the only thing that is always somewhat confusing is what do you mean by the concept of help?
You have only three messages, and you conclude that experienced participants do not quite treat beginners correctly.
What is behind your request for help? Make a list and try to prove that someone refuses to help beginners.

You are absolutely right. Everyone starts as a newbie of this forum or in the field of crypto and blockchain. Look at Vitalik Buterin for example. In the beginning he was a nobody until he founded Ethereum and worked hard on it. Right now he is the youngest billionaire.

No matter what aspect of life are we in, every legend, expert, coach or whatever, we all started all the way from the bottom and worked on our way to the top.

KingsDen, welcome to the forum.
I think that your main goal should not be related to the forum rank but how to help other members of this forum, or how to contribute to this forum.
You can help with your knowledge or experience, which of course will not come overnight and requires some effort and work.
That way, everything else will come naturally, including your progress on the forum.
In order to get something from the members of this forum, you must first give something, something that will help them.
In the same way, forum members will help you  Cheesy

The question is, what will you do once you have a legendary rank?. Even myself is not a legendary in terms of rank but I see myself the same as legendary member who can share and also learn when there is something new posted in the forum. I would say that trust is also important if you tend to involve in transactions.
Ranking is just an award that you achieve even I don't want to be legendary but want to be knowledgeable about bitcoin and provide the latest education to post on this forum so that it will attract a lot of interest by other members.

You must know life in the academy world (military), what lessons will be taken from a beginner in the academy, of course beginners-legends, knowledge, discipline, obeying the rules, they work hard, are passionate about doing their job, never give up and always do their best for the community and their country.



Back to topic: old member.
Let's just say that now you are in the Bitcointalk forum academy, just like we were when we were beginners, challenges, obstacles, we swallowed it, that's all for the sake of achieving graduation in the academy forum, if you want to be successful and have good grades while in education, you have to work hard and obey all the rules that have been applied, You have to do your best for everyone here, naturally you will get a graduation that is the best value and respected, the bottom line: show your true identity.

Nothing is really bad for someone to get elevated here but it requires attention, consciousness and good information, actually i understand that the summary of op, is merit, a Merit can earn through quality post which can be done through proper research and observing the method of senior colleagues kind of post, when been captured this, i think the chance of getting elevated is there, lastly to enable you last here try to read the rules and regulations of the community and also try to follow up loycev thread dropped @acroman08 it will really direct you properly.

Welcome to forum.

You’re probably giving to much credit to Ranks, Merits and Trust, which one probably tends to do more when he starts-off on the forum. What’s relevant is the person behind an account, what they do / can do, and their attitude. Those counters may be correlated to these factors in some cases, but understanding that people may look up to those numbers, they should not really be a goal, but rather a set of bypass products.

I mean, we all want to rank up and stuff. But am I the only one out here who thinks these kind of posts are quite sketchy, as if there is something else behind the reason of their writing?
You are not the only one; every time I see a brand new members giving advice to other newbies and seniors and then all that talk about being grateful for being a part of this forum, self-congratulating themselves  on creating the account (like its some extremely complicated and difficult procedure lol)  and whatnot, I smell a merit fishing post.

@OP take it easy buddy, don't try too hard right from the first post.

I made this post in two categories; first to encourage the newbie and second to advice the old members.

For the newbie, I believe most of us are sharing in my wish. My wish to become a legend, a legend with so much merits and positive trust.  But dreams do not come true without hardwork.
First we must appreciate and accept our newbie status by showing the inclination to learn.
We should learn by keen observations, by reading through the posts of the old members, this will help pattern our attitude in the forum, it will also help us to grow with the norms and ethics of the forum.
By so doing our passion for the forum will be high, it is the passion that creates the way to success.

For the Old members, I will liken the forum to a building from foundation to roofing.
The building at the foundation stage does not make it less building, but it is the stage at which the engineer puts much efforts and expertise. Take the newbie as the foundation, help us grow, for if the foundation is wrongly laid, it will have a significant negative effects at the completion stage.

Congratulations to me for having an account in this forum, I am looking forward to a rapid and sustainable growth with your help.


Congratulations for you sign up.
Your passion speaks louder than your words here. Stick to it and make quality posts, you will surprisingly rank up.
All the forum users have same opportunities to explore, but the difference is being trusted.
There's no how a newbie can be experienced than the legends.

However, your advice is cool on both categories.

I really admire your passion and desire for this forum, but one thing I must tell you is that to attain that level of "Legendary member", it takes time, and consistent hard work day by day. But for the very fact that you have taken the bold step of opening an account as a newbie, you shall surely attain that height of a legend..

I don't know why you make it like university degrees that require staying up late and we are proud to hold them. It is a forum for discussion and reflection about Bitcoin. Your rank in this forum means nothing. How many newbies get a lot of attention and legendary members only spread spam.

If you are comfortable with profit, learn more and buy bitcoin a lot better than waiting until you reach the rank of legend.

I mean.. besides financial gain, there is not much you can do in the top ranks without working hard but I feel like this has to come from the inside of your own heart. Never felt the need to be "inspired" by other members... if you enjoy this place just like any other forum, you'll earn your own spot in here - you don't have to feel like you're working for a top-tier spot. It comes by itself... I mean no offense but every time I read these kind of posts I get a weird vibe, lol.

Welcome to the forum, good to hear that there's a newbie like you that already understands how forum users rank up via a good contributor on this forum.

We should learn by keen observations, by reading through the posts of the old members, this will help pattern our attitude in the forum, it will also help us to grow with the norms and ethics of the forum.
Tend to agree with this, as a newbie, spend your most time in reading and of course learning as well.  In this case, it's easy for you to absorb any knowledgable technical stuff towards cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.  Once you're there, isn't hard for you to gain merit especially if you're quality posters.  To be honest, isn't easy to rank up these days, merit sources have a high standard of giving merit, so you need to keep push and learn harder so that you can share any informative stuff that can be used/help users in the forum.

Well, good luck with your agenda and see you around.

do you mean rapid and sustainable growth of your account? the only way that could happen is if you are consistently providing/sharing good information, contribute to the discussion or the forum. but don't always expect to be rewarded for everything that you do, even if you think what you did is good or helped someone.

if you want some inspiration I suggest looking at the thread created by LoyceV The future of Bitcointalk: Low Ranking Top Merit earners in the past 30 days. the thread consists of newbies or former newbies, some of those that are on the lists have already reached the required merit to become a legendary rank. Good luck with your journey here in the forum.

You should probably aim for a higher dream, buddy. Outside signature campaigns and bragging rights, there's really nothing much "up" here. We all have the same access to information in the forum, and we have the same amount of freedom to discuss about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. Having a lot of merits(hence a higher rank) is just a sign of having a good amount of knowledge in this space.

It is good to advice the newbies but you can not yet advice the legendary members because you are not yet a legendary or merit source, if you are up to that level, you will see no advice needed because they already know what your advice will be about and not relevant as they are meriting good posters. Just use bitcoin amd understand quality posts on this forum, get the knowledge about bitcoin and have experience about bitcoin, you will see you rank up. You need to learn, post relevant information about bitcoin and see some other boards attractive.

Have you come across posts by newbie claiming some acts of negligence from older members?
If you read in between lines, you will understand that I was not advising the legends, rather old members.  The legend you saw was a caption.
However, I appreciate your directions, I will follow up as you said. Thank you
