Thank you sir for this offer, I am pleased. Just seeing it.

I like your posts feel free to pm me if you have a question.

Growth is the main factor which we all should consider even on the forum as well as on the forum also because with time if we are not progressing it won't benefit you anywhere.See the topic of the post if Forum Skills which does not imply that you need to have some special skills to be an active member of the forum but what if you have open up an account and simply writing up any irrelevant post which do not enhance any discussion or knowledge of others.So you need to acquire knowledge for the same and that would come up by learning and gaining knowledge from sources.We all have stated at some point on the forum but continuous growth can be achieved by experience, knowledge, practice and passion for the same.

Explore different sections of this forum and you will find out that many gems were hidden of which you are not aware about it.First of all treat this forum as discussion forum not any income source which will help you to contribute effectively and serve a purpose on the forum.Learn technical aspects and contribute to technical development section.If not interested in technical aspects properly atleast try to have some knowledge about it so you can participate in discussion on the forum as bitcoin is decentralised crypto working over internet so you need to have knowledge about it.

Some tips to develop forum skills:

1) Read the guides and threads on the forum which are made by some senior members and try to gain knowledge of it.

2) Comply with the forum rules and don't violate them.

3) Exchange knowledge between members and learn from your mistakes and try to avoid them.

You don't need any special training as it is discussion forum but what you need is knowledge which can be gained if you are determined and interested to do so.You will see growth in your ranks and merit.Just give it time.

Life generally is about adding value to where ever you find yourself. It's pretty nice you thought of this and this would also give others visions on services they could also offer the community for its continuous growth. I have been on some digital training lately hoping to graduate soon so I can contribute to the growth of the forum as well through services that would be beneficial to all

I see. Thanks for info.

This thread isn’t really about forum usage skills, but I’ll answer briefly just the same:
You can’t post an image until you become a Jr. Member (>=1 Merit; >= 30 Activity). If you are in a hurry, you can purchase a Copper Membership.

Hello, How can I post an image? When I try to do it, there is only a link possible to post. But the image is not visible in the post, only a link to the image.

See like this, only a link: https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2015/04/23/22/00/tree-736885_960_720.jpg

Please let me know. Thanks.

I 100% agree with you, @sapnu @DdmrDdmr and what other users said. Learning is an act of compounding and not gotten in a haste. Few days ago, I involved in a neighbourhood casual debate about bitcoin. During the debate, I discovered that I was not whom I used to be 3months ago. I became technical than my mates, I saw myself opposing things I used to propose before. Then I knew I was actually learning from this forum.
Thanks to all.

You don't need to be a  programmer (to provide statistical data ) or a Managerial skills person to become a Bounty manager in order to remain active and contribute to the forum. Even if you can guide the newbies and help the community you can still survive on this forum and the forum will recognize your efforts.
Of course if you have skills you can contribute in a better way but in any case, don't consider yourself left behind of others. Every person is important here including you and me. 

wow, this is so cool! ! !

I tried to use Tableau before, but I simply imported the data from Excel into tableau.（Even I thought about putting tableau data in my posts, but I couldn't send pictures so I gave up.） I think I will learn about this software next. I enjoy the process of statistics, data visualization is very important.


Sir, I checked the data on your website. This percentage may be the merit data of topic+post, and my statistics are the merits obtained in the topic.

Of course there may be some errors, because I calculated it manually.

Good that you have added the hyperlinks for all the topics made by KingsDen as it is easily accessible by the readers to go to the original post and read it.

Yes the members can easily get all the stats by visiting your site and get all the desired information at one place rather than doing all the search for yourself as it is time consuming task for members.But with this they just have to fill the username or user id and you get all the details.


Exactly no one is born expert or have those technical skills from the beginning.But they have given their time and efforts for the same and now they have knowledge to share with others.Suppose a developer is proposing a BIP he/she would have worked for it and have complete knowledge about the network working and more technical knowledge of programming and how the issues could be solved.So you need to work for that and practice takes time.Work for it not in a hurry but in effective manner and after few years of hard work and practice you could have knowledge for the same to share with others.

As to what you've mentioned, you're just new here so I think you should not put a lot of pressure on yourself about giving technical contributions. Just savor your time learning first and don't stop taking in new knowledge each day. Soon you will find where you feel more comfortable whether it is with regards to offering technical services or giving out advices that could be helpful for newbies and other investors. It is never too late for you to earn here in crypto, just make sure you are not wasting your time and your chance because not everyone is blessed with the idea of knowing crypto.

At some point I feel you. I can't contribute in technical discussion here.

I'm not technically inclined. Im not really knowledgeable in crypto in general but I managed to stay here for the opportunity to learn at the same time joining in several art contest.
I might seem not interested in crypto coz when you look at my past activities here, it's all about roobet's contest lol.


But I've been lurking around and read discussions here. Maybe someday I will have the courage to engage myself in some threads here, of course, with the techny person.


And if you're asking if you are too early or too late, as long as you decided to continue on your crypto journey, it's not bad to be early nor late.
The only bad thing is when you stop learning.

It is not all of those names mentioned, especially Ddmr Ddmr and cryptoprenurbrainboss, that immediately started giving that skills from the conversation I have had with them, and about other with that skills, this is a passion to them, and that why when the arrange such it comes out very appreciated, I think yes like everyone is saying you can start now, but if I may, don't start any skill because you one to go ahead fast to earn merits, you can set member as an example to emulate but everyone has what they do an do well, find yours.

If you don’t want to manually create the stats, or wish to surpass the 120 day limit on the profile’s history, you can always use these, which provide similar information (data as of this morning, making the percentages and totals differ from yours):

On the matter of the so called technical skills, in general terms, things should not be rushed. If one wants to embark on technical matters, the foundations often take years to be built, and it’s not something that can be done in a blink of an eye. One thing is to have a solid base and move from one technical area to another (or programming language to another), but it’s a different matter and pace if the basis have yet to be built.

I understand that having expertise in technical knowledge is not the same as having excellent digital/drawing skills. However, I believe that even if these two fields are unrelated, they both have something to do with investing a significant amount of time in order to improve.

I am a digital and traditional artist who has won numerous competitions both inside and outside of the forum, but this does not imply that I began as an expert. I've previously failed numerous contests, been chastised for drawing an ugly face, and experienced frustrations that resulted in unproductive days. However, here I am. So proud that, for the very first time in my life, the expectations have become a reality.

If you're learning something, keep in mind that your efforts are compounding. This means that even if you only learn a few things, it will help you in the long run. Remember that committing to lifelong learning can be transformative!

I'm currently studying Computer Engineering, which is the polar opposite of my hobbies, but I'm looking for a new challenge. In fact, I am studying CPE because the technicalities of bitcoin fascinate me, and I believe that learning programming in my current undergrad course will be beneficial in some ways.

I am sorry if this displeases you. I am used to addressing male fellows this way. I found it more polite and formal way of addressing any gentleman.

I deliberately kept blind eyes at this post. The forum is a double edge sword, sharp at both edges. I have decided to do what is right that does not battle with the forum rules.

It will be nice if you can click the thread I opened to ensure eligible newbies earn their first (only 1) merit by answering questions. The kind of attacks that came to me, I was forced to read my post again if I have posted something different from my intent. I had to lock the thread. As you rightly pointed out merit is not a rank basis system. And I attest that it's quite rare to stumble on a newbies post worthy of merit. So, I merit only merit worthy posts in order not to flaw the purpose of merit system.

No Sirs, address everyone by their username, you might be surprised you're actually more accomplished or my senior in real life or not still, don't consider the ranks you see to mean much, they are just visual representation of how much we have spent on the forum and merit recieved. There isn't much to say about rules guiding PM's (can't find a thread to link you to) but just avoid sending unnecessary PM's like referrals and all that because if reported can get you temporary banned. Obviously you don't have to send malicious PM's as that's a permanent ban crime.


Pretty sure everyone is allowed to have changed of mind (assuming that's what happened to the OP). The newbies you speak off, are they willing to be helped or they just want to earn form the forum. We have alot of people already helping newbies so him not sending merits to them is no big deal provided he isn't abusing the merits which from your words he isn't.

The higher rank members too needs to be merited so if someone is doing that without any second intentions so be it. Every post worth merits should be given some without considering the ranks. Merits is a reward for quality contributions and not a means of helping juniors rank up. If they want to do so, they should earn it, it's very simple to earn. OP don't concentrate on specific ranks, merit worthy posts that's just it.

It only shows to me that my threads are of interest to many users, I have to put more effort to be effective, and also keep learning and making learners mistake to give room to my critics.

The attacks have also made your attention hit my posts which you felt are under merited by you. I see every attack as a blessing in disguise.

This is actually the way to go, the advice is loudable and surpasses envy. I actually got nothing for anyone to envy. I believe my best days are far ahead in this forum. This is just my learning stage.

Thanks sir!
Since I joined this forum, I have always been afraid of using the PM, because I don't know the rules guiding the use of PM, and that is why I have much exposed my weakness to the public and some are willing to ride on them against me.
