Topic: How to get merited? (Read 748 times)

I think merit is the rewards from another users from this thread,let's say you create a topic and you amaze them by your post,example like fun post but still.crypto related or very helpful topic,it's hard for me to get merit too it's because my English is worst😂😂😂I'm not good in English:(

Tell me too when you are done. i am still seeking for one.But it my bad because i cant write in english properly .I dont know is it possible to write my local language here.

Well am still a beginner here and I dont have much idea on what you are talking about but I hope this merit issue should be giving to those who merited it and not by whom you know to aviod be biyers and ensure transparency to encouraged we the beginners here in the forum thanks .

If you want to get merits, you need to make quality posts and post when necessary so that you can get some merits from a Samaritan. Getting merits is scarce.

For proper ranking at the forum you need merit.
You need constructive and helpful post to acquire merit

I agree with you the merit of a things can be acquired by favoritism it takes good heart to see good post and be rewards for your content that is helpful

I just registered this account not quite long and I found many strange words here can someone please enliten me what MERIT is all about? I will be glad to learn .

since I am a new comer , that is why I am asking this question from you. Actually what is the "service" board means. Can some one give me the link of that board.

There are hundreds threads about this topic, you can find and read them.

You need to start threads that give relevant information to the people on the forum. You can also share something you have learnt to this forum which can help other people.

I will agree with the author about knowing someone to get merited unless you prove otherwise. what do you mean when you say dont post on MEGA THREADS? can you give examples of MEGA THREADS  and threads to post on to get merited. Thanks.

"something done well attract props" making good post of course will one merited, knowing where to post adds to it too.

I didn't know that, thanks for the info, im gonna need that in future. I think that ranks above member are "locked" with merit sistem. I would like to see how many people will get from newbie to at least hero member in 3 years! Of course there will be those who bought it or cheated with friends or multi acc to merit themselves. But it's really unfair to all new honest members. I don't really care, I would like to reach "member" rank in this year just not to be at the bottom and that my voice can be heard in some topics.

It is shocking that you have 195 activity points and none merits.... I think it highlights there's something wrong with the current system.

Taking the above in to the consideration it looks like the true answer to this threads question of "How to get merited?" is simply "you will never get a meaningfull amout of merits" ...  

Maybe you can try to help others with questions that they might have, or write some quality posts with guidance to others about bounty program, blockchain, bitcointalk forum, tutorials, etc. Yeah it is not very easy to get merit, but if you try, you may get some. Good luck!

That's right.


No, it isn't.


Really? Let's see.


Didn't help at all. And, these are just a few. Can't bring them all here.


You will never, if you keep going like that.


No, I don't agree.

Tip: Post quality stuff, show your quality and don't go with the quantity. 

I think I can only comfort your heart, because anywhere is cruel, Meri is a very scarce thing, if you really need it, then you can make some deals with some people!

there is more difficult to get it, maybe with quality posts you will get it. try making threads that everyone is interested in commenting on your post. not just a little like that. they will no longer be interested.

That is absolutely not true.
You dont need any "connections" with other people to gain merit. You only need to be usefull to community and have a little bit of luck to someone give back to you
Don't loose hope, first work on your posts quality, then everything else will come by itself.

There's no shortcut to this.
All you need to do is to keep educating and helping people with quality posts and viola , you will get noticed and be merited.

even if you write quality and useful messages, it is not easy to get the merits, because they can count your work as nonsense

Everyone’s opinion counts potentially, but it needs to be well versed and have a certain argumentative depth or character to stand-out a bit and make a mark that differs from the regular one-liner quick answer’s aimed solely at incrementing activity.

From a beginner’s point of view, any and nearly all posts are probably helpful, since coming from a void of knowledge on a certain topic sets a low requirement base. As you gain more knowledge on the matter, so does the criteria evolve of what a useful post is. What one newbie may see as a useful post, to many others is just another spin-off of the same tailored answer that has been around for ages.

My point being that meriting is subjective and often requires a post to be well above the average post (which is not that hard really). Although I believe that merit is awarded with a softer eye on the Beginners & Help board, a certain degree of time and effort needs to be put into posting to postulate to being merited.

Also checking spelling and grammar is kind of a good thing to do before hitting the Post button...

Im just a newbie so i supose that my opinion dont counts, but i must say that I see useful posts for beginers everywhere and 99% of them are not geting any merit so i wouldnt have my hopes up about that!

Trust me it's really about what you post that will get you merits. Even if you're helping out with what you post but you created it in a very generic way that even a newbie could do then in the eyes of other users its just like a simple post. You need to have a strategy of getting the attention of those people who are sending merits. Unique posts can get you merits as well depends on the content and value of the article or reply that you make. Effort and patience is the key in ranking up. You just have to wait for that moment to come and better improve the way you post to get to the next rank that you desired.
I somewhat agree with this. If you are active in the forum you can build network of friends and those people will notice the way you post and they will reward you for a post that they find helpful and valuable to the community. Sharing merits with friends to posts that are insignificant or trading merits to friends is against the rules. Abusing the merit system can get your account banned or red tagged.

I myself have been posting in this forum, I know I'm not an expert when it comes to acquiring merits but I always find time to take extra effort without actually expecting to get merits.
As long as I can help out others and share my little knowledge about anything that involves in crypto then I'm good.

Posting in the right section as well could get you more merits to a post that is substantial.

Do you realize that most of these accounts that are being sold were stolen at some point? If you buy one of such accounts there are various bad things that can happen:
-somebody finds out that your account has been asleep for a long time and then changed the style and will ask you to confirm that you have access to its old addresses
-the real owner of the account will wake up and lock it
-the seller will take your money and not give you the account
-the seller will take the money and claim that you've stolen the account

While trading is not moderated if someone finds out you'll get red trust, pure and simple.

Post any really meaningful and useful posts, then you will receive merits

To get merited you have to contribute in community by submitting good post that should have quality. Having quality does not mean it has to contain only positive news it can contains constructive criticism too.

You must have to keep trying by giving informative posts. Otherwise you can't get good merits as well as ranks. So keep posting.

How can you earn merits without giving useful posts? There is no other ways of earning merits. And we should keep patience to gain good ranks.

I think you should increase the quality of your posts. Most of the previous posts you made does not make sense to me. People usually gain merit for posting their analysis which is legit and backed by information, data and source. You should try posting something like that too and keep visiting the forum for posts that gets meritted and learn from them.

After seeing your post history, I can tell you that you are definitely not posting to help the community. These one liner posts which are so vague and distorted in concept wouldn't help the newcomers or the oldies. Better try to post something informative which is backed up by data and sources. I have seen many good posts getting meritted till now. You should check them to get an idea.

People who can afford more than 500 USD Never will want to have  a full member account. they have many more things to do rather buying a bitcoin talk .

Good trip, Thanks for bringing the attention. Even I am looking for merits. Thanks alot.

Hello Dude, I am sorry. Don't spend your precious time just for earning merit, it's not worth.
Many peoples sell their "full member" rank just only $400 USD.  

Your precious 6 months or 12 months is only worth $400 USD ?
It's not worth

Just be helpful and don't just post for the idea of post height or weight, in time some merit will arrive - I have a couple of accounts for different projects, and it is not necessarily who you know but is how you deliver useful and helpful information in a concise manner.

You can get merit if your post are very useful and helpful for others. Your post must be very much detailed and costructive based on the thread concerned.

You’ve barely being posting for just under two weeks. I took nearly two months to get my first merit ... Senior members and merit sources do come to the Beginners & Help board and read through posts, but you need to stand-out a bit to be noticed through your posts. It’s way better to post a low amount of posts but putting thought into them, than quick one or two lined posts which are similar to every other post on the thread.

By the way, services is not a great place for merit I’d say. Merit is also not grabbable, but earnable.

useful post not bring merit for me also,usually they give merit if doing good service like in "service" board. There is so much merit to grab.

I recall seeing 2-3 threads where few senior members were giving merits away - anyone with decent quality and constructive posting history could apply and get rewarded.

Be equip with knowledge and information about crypto process, then try to help as much as you can, merit will come along the way... but don't think that every help you made you'll be given merit... have patience to wait for someone to notice you hard work.

I’m a newbie and non English, so chances for me to get any merit are small or none exiting.
As far as I can see, to get merit, you need to be threads starter, or post as one of the first, quality posts are not that important, just pick the right category for your threads.
The merit system isn’t fair, but nothing in life or crypto is.

Recently I saw a lot of people getting merited for posting their strategies on the right time to invest on coins, analysis on the current market and what will be the consequences of ETF approval etc. These posts were detailed, constructive and full of data which is why I thought they were merited. However, I checked your post history and sadly it looks very poor to me because most of them are 1-2 line sentences with vague concepts.

I see that the thread that you created is still not useful enough for other people, try to create a more useful topic, make it like creating an article, look for references to topics that are easy to understand that you think other people do not know and do not get out of the topic you created.
make a topic such as creating an article in the blog

1 or 2 lines don't seem enough sorry to say, for merits the posts should be much more detailed, adding value and constructive according to the quality of the forum is concerned. So please look into it, and hope for the best for yourself.The more constructure and value adding your post, the better the merit possibility.

You will get merit if a member will give you ,but asking for merit is not good. To obtain merit from other members always make a high quality and constructive post where you help the forum and the new comers.

Getting merits is not a tough work as long as we are following the rules and regulations of the forum. Post issues that are relevant to the context of the crypto market and make sure you post things that are resourceful. And make sure to help out members too.

Your "friend’s" account (Tonymillions)is almost certainly banned for plagiarism. The post https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.41462969 is a set of copied extracts from this post: The Truth about Smart Contracts.

That goes against the rules and constitutes a permanent ban which has less chances of been reverted than mining a bitcoin with a ZX Spectrum. The ban applies to all accounts from the user (banned account and Alt accounts), and only allows to appeal on Meta (and only there). Seen what we’ve seen above, It really is not even worth trying since it is one of the number one motives for being banned and I’ve never seen a ban reverted without overwhelming proof against the ban.

All you were doing was spamming bounty campaigns and writing short low quality posts about altcoins. Forum is full of people like you and many of them get banned sooner or later. I doubt that you will get it unbanned. Better start working on a new one. Anyway, if you really want to waste precious time of our mods start a thread in meta and ask what was the reason for the ban. The answer should give a probability of your appeal being a success.

The process of getting Merit is very painful, because most people who can assign Merit are doing other things, they won't even read your article!

I think its merit depends on your post and comments. You must have good quality post, The post must have constrictive and contribute the community. If you maintain this you will get the merit.

If you do really interesting and useful post on this forum about cryptocurrency - pm me and I give your smerit

"You must have a good quality post to have merit.I think the
merit system is not really efficient.It make the ranking
system more ticklish and it's really boring for me.
"

"If you just post garbage, you will never get even 1 merit point.
So my opinion is Highlighting good posts with the ""Merited by""
line.
"

Those posts actually get merited which are constructive, beneficial for the community and most importantly fully free of fake/spam. So to acquire merit posts definitely need to be deserving enough that’s what I believe.

You need to keep posting good things, you will receive merit if someone like your post and see it useful. Because viewpoint of  each person is different, you have no right to force anyone to recognize your post is good.

"I agree with you actually. I personally do not understand what are the actual requirements based on which this ranking has been done. There is lots of quality posts I have seen here which do not get merit.

"

Good question, sir if you work well, you will be praised ....
And if you ask about merit, I only have one advice you should not post content like this anymore.

Sometimes, even good quality post not earned merit because we are not famous in here no knows no one. We do not even no what is the criteria of good quality post to get merited. Surely, it will take a long time to earn that. Their is a campaign that offers merit instead of bitcoin as payment. Find some like that. Maybe their your post gonna be counted as good post that capable of merit.

I have also been worried about how i can get merits for myself since I felt like the merits are specific to certain people. Sometimes people post very use threads but do not earn anything. I think the merit system should be given a face lift.

I actually think the merit system should be looked at again, I think this system currently in use is defective. Someone may write a post that some persons may think is a quality post, but the merit sources may not see it that way, it is also very possible for someone to post a very useful (quality) information in a thread and never gets read by those who should award the merits. There should be a system in place that ensures that judgement is not subjective and all posts are read in order for merits to be awarded when such is dully deserved.

-Honey, I made a great post on the forum! Will you marry me now?
-That's the worst proposal ever! I will report your post and make sure it gets deleted. Next time come with a ring and a better line.

To get married you need to make a good and usfull post that every body seeing it will benefit form it. With this when some some that has merit benefited from your post he will surely give you merit

I dont think that you will get any merit if you stay in alt coin section , in these huge threads where people do not generally read.
Go to short threads and try to be useful or find a niche which is not taken and is interesting for high ranking users.

Well, you have a point. But the principle for merit still holds that unless you make quality posts before you can get merited. This merit issue is becoming concerns for many but its been said that Do not post threads about merit because that wont fetch you any. Instead of raising this issue, I would rather advice you use it to post something useful.

Exactly! OP wants to get merited but can't follow the rules and post in the appropriate section. What does a topic about merit has to do with Bitcoin? If not much then what is it doing in Bitcoin Discussion?
OP, If you write a lot of useless posts it will make people remember you as a shitposter and even if you make a decent post once in a while you won't get as much merit as you could as a result of your posting history.

You must have a good quality post to have merit and specially it will be helpful into the community, post must be constructive and not a spammy. so for me that's the only way you will get merited.

Well for one thing it's probably better to post something like this in the meta subforum rather than the main bitcoin discussion one. I don't think that these types of topics are meant to be discussed here.

Making a quality post, by constructing a useful post, is simply signifies to the topic related and meaningful to others, marit can be transferred, to enable upgrading in next rank level...

Your writing skill somehow made me feel that you were not suppose to be here. But anyway thank you for answering

We can not claim merit as a matter of right.  Our function is try to do justice to our job.  Increase our knowledge.  You very well mentioned about quality posts.
I think everybody is not  reading every post.  Likes and dislikes also differ from person to person.  It is possible you post  some quality post  but the same is not  read by the person who likes these views and is convinced by your statement so because of not reading how he can give you merit.
On the other hand; someone may not agree with your statement but reads it; so he will not be convinced by it.  

So under both the circumstances you may not get merit.  because luck also play a role.

So I advise just try to do good certainly you will have some good; time may be short or long.  
Edit
After posting this reply i saw 4 merits to my account though in the evening it were 3; so I got one today.  Say congratulations to me  
Likewise you will get it too.

Well, considering that most of my posts, quotes and replies are with Bitcoin and altcoins discussions and mostly I guess relevant.  I don't think small ranks can be merited that easy regarding of quality posts.  I just really do not know how we could get merited.  All I do now is just do what ever is needed with the campaign I am joined with, give quality posts, replies or quotes, give some effort in it and expect nothing about merits.  If it comes, it will come, if not, try harder next time.  Only my perception and thank you sir for the idea you gave.

Your post is supposed to not belongs here, but i will answer it anyway.
To get merit you must make someone who has sMerit love your post and they will give some to you.
As simple as that, even if you make a really good post but people don't like it, people will not giving any sMerit

Just learn more and contribute to our community mate. This is not all about on how we get that thing but it's also the learnings that we can apply in ourselves.

well that is not true because you can't tell that the forum moderators knows everyone here each an everyone knows there selves, in summaries what i
 trying to say is that you only post meaningful post for you to be upgraded from newbies or from jr.menber to member.. secondly the hero and legendary gives merit to what create a difference to the forum or what is impactful.

I agree! Even though I posted quality posts, only few people gave merit on me. I can also see some quality posts wherein it has no merit. This merit system is not really effective. It only make the ranking system more difficult. A member of this forum cannot achieve higher ranks if they don't meet the merit requirements.

You must have a good quality post to have merit and specially it will be helpful into the community, post must be constructive and not a spammy one many people gave merit if they see that you are deserving to have that merit but many people also are afraid to give merit because they are thinking that they are going to link with each other.

I keep seeing comments talking about , making quality  posts and all that.
Now, i dont believe its about quality posts, its actually about who know on the forum.

I recall seeing 2-3 threads where few senior members were giving merits away - anyone with decent quality and constructive posting history could apply and get rewarded.

Other than that, don't hope to get merited for 1-sentence posts in spam/mega threads. Hardly anyone reads such posts anyway. Try to do something useful. You claim to speak 4 languages, how about posting some useful translation to local boards (ie. forum rules, or explanation of how forum ranks work etc). There should be at least 1 merit source in every local board, so likely you'll get merited.

useful post not bring merit for me also,usually they give merit if doing good service like in "service" board. There is so much merit to grab

It would really be up to that person if he really wants you to have a merit, Well many in the community tend to give merit to people that are very helpful with the topic that has content, A substantial post is needed so you can be merited by someone, Well I can say that most of your post is in one liner or two, It is very blur to really get the support from other people because most merits end up decaying and never been given to anyone.

how to get merit, that is by the way you should make an important and useful post.

I saw your post history and I will enumerate where most of your posts are:

1. Off - Topic section
2. Mega threads

Aside from that, most of your posts are one to two line which can be helpful I think (I didn't read it) but most of it are in the mega threads. Nobody will browse a thread which composes of more than 20 pages and see which of the posts are considered helpful. If you want to be merited, don't post on mega threads.

Well, i know most of you are going to say,"post useful stuffs", show your quality, dont go with quantities. Its all only for saying. My posts are not that useless and i always post hoping it will be helping people here. But never get that merit points.I dont think its only about what you post, its somehow about, who you know and also about who is in your contact. Do you guys agree ?
