I have been on the forum for more than 3 months. I write mostly on Russian branches, but there nobody gives merit. Tell me how to properly publish the material and what I need to do to get first merits.
It's really hard to have merit you might need more effort to have atleast one. It was implemented for us to improve the contribution on this forum that only needs an constructive ideas and to prevent such spammers. 
Topic: How can I get my first merit (Read 304 times)
One frustrating fact I’ve come across is that the lower the rank, the more cases of copy/paste that I’ve encountered on a post that seemed fit to be rewarded. That eventually takes it’s toll, since I don’t want to be fooled again by rewarding copy/pasters. My time is limited and I don´t want to waste it having to find out if a post is copied from some article and placed to take credit as if written by the poster.
This is an area where junior members could help. If they reported these plagiarists, then the merit awarders would be less suspicious of posts by junior members.
It is not easy to get merit because here people are more focused on writing, majority of forum does not even read what others write. It is understandable as people try to post for bounties...
Between the 24/01/2018 (Merit System kick-off) and the 27/04/2018 (last sMerit Data update) these are the overall sMerit awarded in the Forum:
Total sMerits awarded: 140.662
Total Number of Transactions: 62.483
Total distinct Nº Users that sent sMerit: 13.116
Total distinct Nº Users that received sMerit: 14.500
So, in summary, 14.500 have set some time aside to sMerit 13.116 users so far.
I personally try to set aside sometime if not every day, every few days, to award sMerit. It’s not always easy to find posts though that you are willing to award it to. It depends on many personal factors, the standards that one sets, and the forum section where one looks around.

It will not deter my search for awardees, but it will toughen my skin.

I think for me,to have a merit,it will be happened if we will create a better one post,that it can be helpful to everyone as a topic.
The merit system is just like Facebook like the feature where you are supposed to share your content and others will like it if they see any value in the same. However, one can give the Limited number of merits to others so everyone would use it for the best possible post. There is nothing about quantity but you should come up with quality posts if you are looking to gain merits. Make sure that you are not asking, buying or begging merits because the staff is really strict and they can post negative trust on your account which will make your account worthless.
First of all, I would start by reading what merited users are getting merit for. I’ve looked through your post history and they are nearly all bounty posts. Bounties are not going to give you merit, so you are going to start to move in a different direction for it.
Check for example TMAN’s guide to getting merit (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/tmans-guide-to-getting-merit-3182178). Don’t just read the guide, read through the whole thread to get a better idea.
There are many more posts giving experience such as bitmovers: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3306385.0;topicseen
Check the general stats here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats
Look through posts awarded with merit and get the general idea of what it requires.
In general, concentrate on bringing content to the board and not on activity. Less posts with more content is way better than a trillion empty posts per day.
P.D. Russian Board is by the way very awarded as a local board. Check zentdex’s post: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.31934877
I think your message can be issued in a separate post for beginners, you are very fully described the situation, in what direction to move. thanks.
I have been on the forum for more than 3 months. I write mostly on Russian branches, but there nobody gives merit. Tell me how to properly publish the material and what I need to do to get first merits.
Be careful with this type of merit thread, it's a sure way of getting people to put
you on their ignore list, because some might see this as begging, btw begging for
merit is frowned upon is this forum.
The best thing to do is search the forum for guides, there are lots of advice and guides on the forum already,
for instance, TMAN's guide to getting merit; https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/tmans-guide-to-getting-merit-3182178.

That's right, I've also been over three months and I have not got the first reward yet. Can someone help me how to get first merit? Thank you very much You can get merit by make quality post. It's like make post that can be useful for the other. FYI, if you want to get merit, you must post on English forum too. Because many people will give you merit not just from the one country you are with. But I don't mean to forbid you to post on local board, in fact many also get merit from local board. So just make quality post to get merit.
Isn't it funny giving advice on how to get merrit, without merrit? (sry, no attack, just it was ironic for me for the first sight)

Can someone help me how can I get my first merit? I'm doing my very best in order to produce good posts and meaningful ones but then until now, I still don't get my first merit.
Yes everybody already answered your question. Make High Quality posts. But you need to be versatile too. For example posts things that you think will be useful to others. Don't stick with what you know, you need to know more because as day passes new trends and information are made so you need to expand your knowledge. So far to get merits you need to help people. Help them and you will eventually get merits.
You need to put effort into your posts and make sure they are good quality, make sure you are informative as well and if you are answering someone and helping them or giving them good information or start a good new thread you will possibly get some merits but getting merits is hard.

For me you're good enough but you've still not earned merit , but we should not think about it , the most important is to gain knowledge about bitcoin and how to make profit in here.

I have been on the forum for more than 3 months. I write mostly on Russian branches, but there nobody gives merit. Tell me how to properly publish the material and what I need to do to get first merits.
It's not much about "how to publish".
It's more about how useful / informative your post is.
Of course, it has to be easy to read and without mistakes. But most of all somebody has to find your post useful to give merit.
I advise you learn more and help the others. This is what this forum is about, not about hunting merits and ranking (yeah, I know, for me it's easy to say..)
Edit: I wanted to also give advice based on your posts, but I see that you've deleted them....
