Topic: Desktop and mobile cryptocurrency wallets (Read 241 times)

Thank you guys for your comments, I will take note, edited, but I saw on the forum not a few merited posts where they asked at the end for the merit. That's why i wrote it.

.
Yes, firstly I posted it on altcoin discussion board, but it was a mistake because nobody needs guides there - it's more conversational place, and the educational/guide/review threads quickly go down without getting the attention and thought that this post will be more useful here.

Nice guide but it's not merit worthy because you posted the same exact thread on different boards of the forum. Here's the link of the same thread from the altcoin board.

It's not prohibited since merit is not moderated. The better term should be discouraged than prohibited because this will encourage new users to leave a merit reminder at the end of their posts.

Merit begging is not in the rules however DT members might tag you if they think that your merit begging is getting out of hand.

In agreement with the above posts. First rule about Merit club is don't talk about it! It makes it look as if you have made this thread specifically for the intention of receiving merit as opposed to actually being useful, which is a shame really as i'd have considered meriting your post if indeed you have went to the effort of actually posting useful info.

You've kind of shot yourself in the foot here buddy, so i hope you will learn from this. Just enjoy the forum, look and learn and don't obsess over getting recognition to your posts. It'll come naturally if you post naturally.

 

There are so much better guides out there than this. Sorry. B+ for effort.

By the way. I probably would have given you 1 merit for your efforts but reading that line actually makes me(and most likely other people) less likely to give you merit.

To request the merit prohibited by the rules of this forum. Before writing new posts, I recommend to learn the rules! Many forum users might not like it!

The stickied topic at the top of this board is significantly better.

Edit: If people feel you deserve Merit you will receive it. Apart from the final portion it doesn't look like you wrote any of this yourself. You may want to rethink your strategy and apply some effort.
