its really hard to earn merits now, how i wish a was active here from the moment i joined. Cry

You would be a Member by now, but that’s it.

You really need to take a look at your posts and then take a look at the posts by theyoungmillionaire who also posts in English and on your local board. You should be able to spot the differences in what a merited post looks like vs a non-merited post. Performing this comparison should suffice for anyone. You cannot seriously call it hard untill you make the effort ...

And it's not suspicious at all, to receive 10 Merit from a red trusted account seller, 2 hours after complaining about Merit.

I hope the new forum software could solve account buying/selling once it's released. I'm still waiting for statistics before I can post my suggestion on how we can "somehow" stop it. I hope theymos would implement it.

You got your merits now, thanks to that generous giver. Welcome to "Member" rank, hope you could earn more merits next time.

For all I care keep it as you need to have 1 sMerit to send anything to someone else, but give me the chance to merit a post for 2.5 or similar.

I see no point in fractional Merits. If you want to give 2.5, you may end up giving 2, while someone else in the same situation would give 3. In the end, it doesn't matter on average. And considering you need 1000 Merit to become Legendary, you can give an amount as low as 0.001 times Legendary already.

How would merit be abused by you being able to send 0.5 instead of 1? You'd still need to get 1 merit to send that 0.5 merit so it makes no sense to me why you'd not be able to.

If one of my alts luckily receive 1 merit for an effortless post, I'll need to wish for more luck to get 1 more merit to be able to send 1 to my main account. Whereas, with fractional merit system, I'd immediately send 0,5 merit to my main without praying any luck.

I doubt that the 0.5 merit would matter much. Merit abusers/farmers usually get tagged anyways, not sure I'd give 2 satoshis about someone who has 0.5 merit on their account, lol.

It's not about buying/selling merit, dude. And 0,5 merit would make a ton of sense if 1 merit is required to become junior member and access to bounties sub.

I'd like to vote for the implementation of fractional merit. Considering we live in crypto and all I think it's a shame that I am unable to send someone half a merit, 4.20 merit or similar.

I don't think fractional merit is necessary. Does it make a difference when Binance - one of the biggest exchanges doesn't allow its users to sell/buy fractional tokens.

Besides, the current merit system encourage people gaining merit in order to send, i.e when you receive 1 merit, you need to earn 1 more to be able to send. It's helpful in reducing merit abuse.

Sometimes I just find myself thinking that someone deserves more than 1 merit while I'm not to keen to spend 2 on that particular post yet I'd like to make it stick out by rewarding said user.

Make it only one or two decimals, that shouldn't be too hard. However, I'd really like to see it.

That merits have been tested quite a lot with the current rates, introducing a simple change like that may require time, there could be hidden pandora's box waiting to be opened. But most likely is should be fine Cool

It would change nothing besides the fact that you can now spend your sMerit in more ways and not run out as quickly as most people probably do today. People would still need set amounts to rank up and the timeframe for that would probably not change at all with fractional merits.

This is a tremendous step towards achieving a creative and resourceful community kudos to the moderators. Regarding fears of abuse by community members, I have this to say; No system is without flaws. There may be lapses on the new rules but that doesn't mean we should discard it altogether.
We have to start somewhere. This is a progressive community and has always been. This was definitely not where and how we started but somehow we have evolved to this stage. Let's give this idea a trial. I believe moderators would be on the lookout for lapses and would readily create a means to check them.
My opinion though.

It is a sad fact that your post number is 500+ but you did not get a Merit. You can read forum rules very well and read all the board's pin posts and follow the post all senior members. But do not copy anything and post it. Then you will get to acquire knowledge. Then you'll be able to get Merit.

In this forum, you gotta get the knowledge first. Then when you get the knowledge, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the merit

New merit ranks have really shown a great impact on the forum. Forum is now becoming more secure and trustworthy considering the rank of member. It has really made it much difficult to get some merits for ranking up and only the ones who do have enough skills and knowledge about it make it up and get some merits to rank up their account.
Bitcointalk forum is a huge platform for many new peoples who just came accross bitcoins amd cryptos. Even i wan new when i had started and i am yet stuck on the jr member rank due to merits.
I don't feel guilty for it. Forum is getting clean and it is really much needed for the well-developed future of the forum.
This forum has some great skills and also each major bitcoiner or any individual related to cryptos are here on this forum.
I just want some help regarding earning some merits.

Did you ever heard about merit sources? They are people on the forum to whom you can represent couple of your posts, which you count merit deserved and if such merit source will agree with you he will send you one or some.

@lima.

Please, shorten your quoted posts.
Just delete part of the quoted message and replace it with something like ~ snip ~.

lima. didn't actually write anything; just quoted the entire OP with a comment from someone else to make it look like something was said. So, this is either plagiarism or, at least, a zero-value post.

Stop spamming and learn some skills. How about you remove your signature until you're a Full Member? Take away the financial incentive to spam.
