Topic: how can we get merit points? (Read 686 times)

You already got one merit point just for a simple question. But this post doesn't belong merit. You should try helping others in this forum or try to find out scammers and bounty cheaters then you can make a lot of merit points easily. You just need to contribute in this forum as much as you can.

Merit! Merit!! Merit!!!
I understand that feeling mate, that feeling  where you had to make threads you feel are with quality driven content that might attract merit but to your surprise no merit came in in the form of appraisal or motivation.

The truth is what might seem good for you may not be same to the next user cause perhaps the information that they're looking for is  just not in your thread.

If you love reading then I'll advise you take quality time to read these materials below if you want to have what it takes to build yourself and create value and earn the merit you seek for.

Lastly, I'll like to encourage you with just one merit in your journey and not that I feel you deserve it.

Bro you can only join bounties and your post will be related on bounty section. If you get merit you will do more struggle by creating informative posts and also helping other by your knowledge.

Merit are only on the Basis of crypto knowledge if you have share some best point about crypto and sharing to help others people so your post will informational and knowledgeable to effects on the community that is why you will be eligible and quality post will be considered

It all about making  good decisions and making a clay point that people will understand and make meaning to anybody that read a certain post,to end a good post is to understand it yourself before posting, if not it comes like an off topic.
Making this clay a second you post viewers who look and read will help to create a widen mindset in you,
That will come in from of giving you a merit to show the level of understanding you've gone through,
That is why the viewer or the administrator read before making your post known to the forum,
Orh if the post is not approve it will be deleted .

Who decides what is constructive or not? I keep saying it that meriting a post is a subjective decision of the person who splashes their merit on anyone's post(s). It's a different strokes for different folks kind of thing for me. I've seen posters who obviously aren't in any way close to being constructive by my judgment, yet they've loads of merit. If you asked those who merit them they definitely will tell you they find their posts educative. Such is life. Some stumble on favour, others work and slave for it to come to them.

In this point we have only two ways of earning merit either by making a constructive or quality thread or by responding to an opinion positively. This two things is actually get through research and observation. Sometimes some people do not read and comprehend what's the text is deriving at before responding to suggestion. Reading and understanding what you read will make you to make a quality response.

The expectations you place on him are too high. How is he going to make good forum posts now that his account was banned over three months ago?

I still have a Smerit I can send but you need to create a good post, either topic or trying to fix people's issues online, as far as its related to crypto you are good, do this and I won't be the only one sending merit to your account.

This is not the way you get merits by questioning the forum members without even looking that all your past post are only bounty reports not any constructive post on the forum so how do you expect to get merit points? Work on yourself and learn about bitcoin to post and get merits according to it instead of complaining about the same.

I was about to send you one but I couldn't see a good post on your account, the problem is from your end, also I see that you have red trust, you must have broken the rules on this forum already so you don't deserve one, sorry.

Your account was registered on the 29th of August 2018 which is 7 months later after the introduction of the Merit system on the 24th of January 2018^[1].

Plus, the majority of your posts are in bounty section where there is a little to no chance of getting merits.

[1] https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/merit-new-rank-requirements-2818350

why i didn't got any merit. i was created account 4 years ago.

Some people are giving genuine advice to Op to make quality posts, sending links on how to earn merits. I would have joined the queue of the vain advisers if not that I first went through the responses of Op and know the kind of user he is and his mission to the forum.

If you want to find out, read these quotes from him below;




You need to understand that OP is not a genuine newbie who is willing to grow in the system. Op doesn't have such a time to make meaningful contributions in the forum. He only needs a merit to be able to post images when promoting his project.
So, since he hates bitcoin and cannot use bitcoin to pay for copper membership, let's allow him and he could be lucky enough to get a merit randomly.

Let me be frank with you, this is not how to make a post that will make merits come your way, atleast try and make it constructive and good enough for a user to find it interesting just as you will personally love to see something in a well presentable manner and appreciate the effort put together on it, members of the forum have given you enough links to read up in other to know how you could place or position yourself to getting merits and how the system works, make sure your post is quality enough to attract users interest and contribute constructively as well on discussion threads.

I think you need to focus more on learning from other senior members in the forum here so you can know how to make good quality posts that will give you merit. Study and make research, make a good contribution to what others have posted or will post with that you can be merited also, but I will advise you to forget about merit now and learn.

Ever thought that by posting images, you are also not considered anonymous on the web? At least your IP, Mac address, browser, and everything related to your system fingerprint is easy to identify. This is equivalent to using bitcoin; you need to put in some effort in the same way.

And if you are so worried about your "non-anonymous" transactions, then think about this one more. The best advice I can give you is not to go online at all. This way, you will remain anonymous.

Simply put – Write with the intention of teaching others or helping them solve a problem/question. That's my little way of accurately explaining the process of getting merit points. Just do that, and more likely that someone will read your posts and then appreciate that by meriting them.

Oh, wow! Really, how bad is that? This is the craziest comment I've read or heard in 2022. If you said that about BTC, what will you then say about altcoins?

Merits are subjective things, you can't ask for it directly. If you are really interested in earning merits and getting up your rank then try to go through posts that are getting merits. This will give you idea of what Kind of content is worthy to be posted here. Usually material that has knowledge in it or helping someone here can get you merits.

As a newbie you even know what is merit. I strongly believe that the user that tell you about the forum told you some of the basic rules in the forum. And you are acting as if you don't know. Go and remeet your guidance to tell you how merit begging is all about. By the way I still believe you know but pretending. What you did is merit begging and it is not allowed in the forum. The question is why do you beg merit? What do you want the merit for?  Do you know the basic reasons of this forum, it to not for merit. Go and read the genenal rules in the forum.

You do not know why you are here. Have you asked yourself the reason you are here? If you are here for merit good and fine. You have to post quality, informative, and educative post. Those should have been your cardinal points in the forum. And also read other people threads to get information to know more.

Conclusively. You are here for merit but not to contribute to help others that do not the particular information. So I am advising you to remove your mind from it. And focus on contributing to knowledge.

You can know how if you spend your time for searching with merit as a keyword or if you look at sticky threads in either Beginners & Help or Meta board.

• Newbies - Read before posting (a sticky thread in Beginners & Help)
• Forum ranks/positions/badges (What do those shiny coins under my name mean?) (a sticky thread in Meta)

If you search, you will find following topics

• Merit & new rank requirements
• Welcome message

Bonus for you on how to search

• [Guide] Searching effectively

Actually, no one knows who you are and even if you pay for the copper membership forum do not ask for your name so you won't get lose of your privacy except on exchanges where your Bitcoin came from.

Why don't you just use a mixer if you don't want to lose your privacy?

What I see here from your all post you are trying to beg for 1 merit why not try to go to OgNasty's thread? You can just provide your Bitcoin address and sign message here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/merit-hey-newbies-can-you-sign-a-message-5300698

And then get merited if you are lucky.

It sounds like begging mate, be careful you'll get a negative tag on this.
That's not how the merit system works, you should learn how to value this and how you'll get hard work before you'll have even single merit.  Selling merit is also restricted on this forum and no one will risk their account just for that matter.

The only solution that you have is to purchase a copper membership, it almost has the same feature as a member rank, it's ideal for a member that has a business here that can able for them to post images for their announcement thread.  Through Bitcoin, you can hide your privacy, just use a non-custodial wallet because this isn't required KYC.

You deserve nothing on this, good luck with your plan and I think with your IP address you can create not less than 2 accounts, more than that you need to pay a small amount of Bitcoin for the evil fees.

If you believe you will lose your virginity, I mean anonymity, by paying with bitcoin, then you are doing it wrong.

This proves that the merit system works perfectly to stop trolls like you, who can't set aside even measly $ 20 for a cooper account to post images.


Good luck with that.

Bitcoin is still one of the best payment methods that offer anonymity.


You don't need to share anything that you don't want. no one here will force you to do that.


There is no religion or whatever. It's just simple, certain rules exist for everyone and will not be tailored to you or any other individual.
You don't need to delete this thread, maybe it will benefit someone in the future. someone who has the same dilemma as you. Considering the potential to earn merit by constructive posting, it is not difficult. there are users who have earned several thousand without begging.

note. You can open your topic with an image, even if they are not displayed. Just point me to them, and I'll repost it and will be visible to all. of course, if that's what you want to show legally and in accordance with the norms of good behaviour.

paying with bitcoin i lose personal privacy
sharing too much i lose personal privacy

i just need 1 single point so i can share images.  the bitcointalk merit system is the perfect example of a religious cult.

50 new accounts do not mean that you will still get some merit. here in a couple of posts, you have already shown that you are very far from earning the first merit. From begging to buying, you finished on multi-accounting. Everything that you think is wrong.
take a closer look at the suggestions you have already received and try to fit them into the recommended norms of behaviour on the forum. although I would say this is not your first account here and you already know how things work here.

The answer to your question is very simple.
Be constructive, contribute something to this forum, share your crypto knowledge or experience, or if you are beginner explore some crypto topic or news and share it with others.
If you are not ready to invest your effort and work, don't expect other forum members to be willing to reward you with merit.
Merits comes from someone’s hard work and effort, not by begging others on the forum
You can’t expect to get something for nothing, it’s a simple truth.
I suggest you lock this topic because you have already been answered and start working on your reputation and status on this forum, and start writing better and more constructive posts.

no problem, mate. i will make 50 new accounts until i will hit 1 merit point.


fortunately, there is no option to sell merit points for you all.

Even if you got 1 merit now, you would still not be able to post images anyway as you lack activity points. So why is it a big deal to get 1 merit today?

Then chill out and we see if the forum admin will ban you for not buying Copper membership. Nobody is forcing you  

If you are using Google already for a bit i guess Google knows already more about you as anybody else.

If you will never use Bitcoin there are 1 questions about that !

1. Why are you here on the Bitcoin Forum then if you never use Bitcoin ?

About the other thing for Merits and getting one , dont ask or expect some for when you make posts and as mentioned from others already,
Help others with your Experience (if you have one) , make some good posts , and try to help the Forum at all.

cuz bitcoin is traceable... i will never use bitcoin. the forum is just forcing me to pay and lose my privacy...




no thanks. bitcoin is that bad in terms of privacy.

If you post something decent enough, you’d postulate for being merited. Then you’ll see how things work properly …

By the way, as mentioned before, if you want it to be able to post images on your Ann thread (for which you’d both need to meet the required Activity and Merit requirements for Jr. Member), the Pandora whatever should at least be able to rollout a few sats to aquire a Copper Membership and accelerate the process.

It depends how you perform you address management. You could always mix some for privacy purposes.

omg. 1 merit so i can post images. if you would be able to sell your merit points, you would have dumped most (if not all) by now.  

Requesting/begging for merits isn't the right way to go about it, you'd have to actually make posts that will meet the merit criteria of other users and merit sources, if you make it a habit of begging for merits, other users would just ignore you, and then it becomes even more difficult to earn merits.

As for 'how things work', if you actually did read the link posted above, then you would know how things work/what will happen if or when you earn a merit, for you, it wouldn't be much, you'd become a jr member when your activity catches up, if you stay at just one merit though, you still wouldn't be able to join the merit process/system/economy as you will have just 0.5 Smerits which is not sendable, you can also then add a signature, and a few others. But what is most important is that you won't earn merits if you continue in this way, garner Bitcoin/crypto/forum knowledge and start communicating with others here, not to earn merits, but with a genuine desire to discuss, help others and improve the general forum quality.
He very well could. But that would definitely be an incorrect use of the trust system, cause from my interpretation, that is not what it was designed for. In this case, at best, the ignore button should do if it becomes constant and annoying.
Then buy a copper membership: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=credit;promote

That's not how it works my friend.

You could even get tagged for begging merits.

It looks like your soul focus is to get merits and not contributing to the forum. When I look at your post history, nothing is merit worthy and most of your posts are in altcoins Announcements board.

If you wish to post pictures in your ANN thread, you need a Cooper Membership Account. Merit points are not required.


No. 

very insightful information.


i understand now.

can i get just one merit to see how this thing works ?

This would be helpful, read in details and understand

Merit & new rank requirements

To earn merit, make quality post. To make quality posts, read than you are posting, especially read quality posters' topics and replies.

To get Merits in this forum you have to contribute by helping others, have to follow forum rules and should share proper knowledge with everyone. When you will share or help someone forum Members will appreciate your contribution by sending merits. So it's really very easy to get merits but you have to be on the right way.
My suggestion is that don't focus on merit earning just write constructive and high quality posts and try to help others as much as you can the you will obviously be appreciated by a lot of merits.
Don't abuse merit system by trading or begging then you will be red tagged.
