Topic: A New Milestone Achieved! (Read 319 times)

Congrats buddy. It's really an honor to get a full member rank after the merit system introduced. Enjoy the rank.

The translation is not the correct one. I think it meant, "If you lead a life without doing any unethical activity, you have nothing to tension." By the way, I am not much good at Hindi.

I guess I also did miss some important information that a person can't send if he/she doesn't have 1 smerit available to send and you won't also be able to see the 0.5 smerit you have unless you will received another one merit which you'll get another 0.5 smerit and both 0.5 smerits which is equal to 1 available smerit, now you'll be able to tell/check that you have 1 smerit available and now that you can send to whoever you want it to reward. You can check here on how many smerit  that you have earn by simply opening this link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit.

Your welcome and I'll make sure that I will enjoy the it and also the new journey that begins right after I ranked up to this rank a few days ago with the help of remarkable people that made me motivated and inspired into doing things that will help myself and other people that needs guidance from pros and experts in crypto space.

I already added this one 2 days ago translated to english and I hope my translation is correct. Please let me know if it's not right and do not hesitate to correct my mistake if the translation is wrong and provide the right translation so I can edit it right away.

Enjoy buddy



Add "Life sahi hai, tension nahi hai" from "Pyaar ka Punchnama" , you will definitely rock.

More exactly, each merit received will also bring 0.5 sendable merits (sMerits) to receivers. However, receivers will only be able to use their sMerits to send to others if they have at least 1 sMerit. 0.5 sMerit can not be sent.

It is true that most topic starters are frequently merited and DdmrDdmr already explained the reason why topic starters often get merits. That's not all, the forum user who answer someone's question, corrected some mistakes like typos (much more) and teaching someone would also get merited just like what DdmrDdmr did by explaining you about how the merit system works, so you will understand the merit system.

Actually, your merits won't run out even if you will send an smerits to anyone you wanted to reward and there are enough merits for everyone to rank up because theymos (The Forum Admin) is very busy and decide to add merit sources or remove merit sources. There are two types of merits that you'll be able to get, receive or you can earn and it is explained already so this post will be an addition to what DdmrDdmr explained and probably miss something about the merit system.

Two Types of Merits:

1.) Merit = It is one of the "Rank Requirements" that you need to meet before ranking up to the next rank. You can actually keep the merit in your own forum account and you can't send it or gift. When you are getting rewarded with 1 merit from a forum user then there will be a 0.5 sMerit automatically generated after earning the 1 merit that you got. 1 Merit is equal to 0.5 sMerit.

2.) sMerit (Sendable Merit) = You can get this type of merit after receiving 2 Merits from any forum users who will reward you with merits. The sMerit is used to reward any forum user you want to reward if you think that he/she is worthy enough to be rewarded by you. The sMerit can be sent or received by every forum user as long as there are sMerits available to reward. Every sMerit that are being sent will automatically turned into Merits.

Kindly check this link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=sources
You can see it for yourself on what is the total of smerit generated per 30 days.

I'll edit this post if there made a mistake about the merit system.

You seem to be confusing Merits (those that are awarded to you, that are visible on your profile, are non-reversable except for extreme exceptions, and count towards your rank and other situations such as DTs voting) with sMerits (those that you can send to another profile, and that are derived for the most for every two Merits that you receive (generating 1 sMerit), with the exception of the initial airdropped sMerits and Merit Source sMerits which are generated centrally by the forum).

You are therefore out of sMerits, not Merits (you have 252 –> 250 airdropped and 2 received from two different people at some point – they sent sMerits, you received Merits, which in turn generate 1 sMerit in your balance for every 2 Merits you receive).
In order to rank-up you need to, for the most, create decent content and wait for someone to spot your posts and merit them. Since we’re on @nakamura12’s thread, he serves as a perfect example of how one can rank-up (in his case he needed 100 merits to do so), even if it did take some persistence and time to get there.

Buried posts have some safety nets they can default to, such as those threads that exists on Beginners & Help and Reputation, that allow you to report/self-report them in order to get them reviewed. That is though a rather exceptional method.

Topic starters may get merited frequently, as they are the ones who are bringing something to the attention of us, and if it is well argued it may deem meritable. The same goes for any answer or contribution in that thread, although normally what catches the eye first is the OP, and not everyone reads all the thread to the end. In addition, often there are very similar answers, and perhaps that may reduce the meritable answers to just a few.
After some time, revisiting a thread may not bring the same enthusiasm as when it was created, so there is that factor that could at some point influence the number of readers of posts that are aggregated in late positions. That really will depend on the liveliness of the thread, and as I stated before, on the repetitiveness or uniqueness of the contributions to a given thread (there are some clear exceptions of long lively threads).

There are so few people out of the thousands of accounts here that have merits. It isn't really fair. The spread is terrible and many peoples posts get buried in other people posts. Very annoying if someone writes a good post and it gets buried is shitty posts. The next thing is that it is mostly people starting topics that get merit. This is because it is the first message you see. Maybe if you try get your post on the first page of a post where people can see it then you will have a better chance.

The worst thing is I am out of merits so how the hell must anyone rankup? There too few merits to rank everyone. There should be enough for everyone to rank.

It's not top 3 if I were to say. If you are a newbie then the first thing you should learn is about bitcoin, how to keep your security such as setting 2fa, saving backup which is important. I've read it somewhere that stated security is a bitch. Well, it's true and if you don't take seriously keep your security then you will lose your money stored in that account. I can only suggest to newbies and feeling newbies like me that don't lose hope and don't worry about not being able to contribute because at first that's what I thought and look what I have unexpectedly achieved.

I can't think much words to say and I edited the op and added how I rank to full member because of these two generous forum contributor in this forum that are helping me to achieve this rank sooner than I expected.

Don't try to be like me instead of trying to be like yourself or in short just be yourself and don't let criticism drag you down or make you feel worse. You must believe that you can do something that others can't do and be positive.

It is my honor to have my story added in your thread and i'm glad that my story will be added in your thread. Yes, I'm the first contestant winner in your contest. I never thought that I really rank up to full member months after winning in your merit contest.

Congrats nakamura i will try to be as good as you are or even better and thanks again for giving newbies like myself this courageous advice

It is cool to see that one of winners in my merit contest finally ranked up to Full Member rank, months after won merit from my contest.
Congratulations, @nakamura12!
Your short story has been added in my thread:

Congratulations, I would had loved if you had told your story on how your ranking up came about all of a sudden thanks to @Quickseller, so it can serve as a motivation and hope giver to users who aren't recieving the merits they deserve at the moment that they shouldn't give up contributing positively in the best way they can. As all good seems (in this case quality posts) shall be recognized and get rewarded it's just a matter of time.  Enjoy your new rank and ability to wear an avatar, you deserve it hope to see you rank up sooner or later to snr member. Kudos.

Nice one Nakamura!  What are the top 3 things you have learnt on the way?

Thank you. It takes me more than a year to achieve this rank and it feels good that you have done something good for the forum, for yourself and to other users out there that are interested to learn rather than earning here in this forum. I do admit that I also want to earn here in order to have money for having an internet to discuss and learn things in this forum. I can do it so did you (later on).

Congrats! Your previous works paid off.

Aloha everyone, I created this thread not to celebrate that I rank to full member but as an inspirational thread to those lower ranks thany rank that they can also achieve/reach a milestone that they wanted as long as they don't violate a forum rules and learn more rather than earn more.

I achieved the full member rank on this day july 17, 2019. I have achieved on getting 100 merit starting from september 2018 until now. I created my account on febuary 21, 2018 and few days later Merit system was implemented to take action to people who only planning on spamming only the forum by joining bounty campaigns and posting on SMT that no one even cares to read flooding posts in there but did you know that I only starting that time and don't have any knowledge (learning stage) and I got my first merit on Sun Mar 4 19:33:46 2018: 1 from puwaha and I became member on Tue Sep 4 21:11:43 2018 receiving 4 merits then starting on september 8, 2018 until now is the next journey on achieving this milestone I achieved on this very day. If I could do it on achieving full member rank then so can you, this time I don't have a plan on achieving sr. member rank but I still want to contribute. I hope newbies, jr. members and members are inspired by thread or my journey on becoming full member and should also set their mindset that they can achieved their desired rank as long as they will do their best to help or contribute.

When i'm not full member yet, I joined merit for crypto knowledge by quickseller but doesn't have smerits left to reward and I am glad that Quickseller quoted my post to a thread about a post that is not merited then @cryptopreneurBrainboss saw it then rewarded me merits. I couldn't have rank to full member sooner if @cryptopreneuraBrainboss didn't reward me generously and @Quickseller for finding someone to help reward merits when out of smerit to reward.
