You have been here since 2017 but you do not know about how merit and smerit work? That is funny.
May be, it's not that funny. Life happens. We can go with the flow that OP is the original owner of that account but only went on a hiatus here so as to concentrate on other stuff. Merit system then happened in their absence and took them by storm. Again, that someone has been here longer than you're doesn't mean they know much about the forum than you're. I've come across veteran members in rank who post like rookies. BTW, I know OP has got the response to their question. So, it's pointless adding any more suggestions to them.
Not that I want to start anything but first of, it's not something funny and it's somehow rude.

Though he already got his answers, maybe he just asked because of sudden change of interest. I'm pretty sure he will try to search on his own now trying to explore this forum for his own good.

We are all aware that there is no spoonfeeding on this forum and you guys are tired of the same question being asked over and over again, but it is also not good if we answer them sarcasticly. I even admit that I have so many things I need to learn given that I am kind of the same with the OP and not constantly staying on the forum.

Thanks everyone again! Love this forum and its members
I didn't give any help, but I'm glad the harsh initial replies didn't turn you off to the forum.  It's just that whenever a member like you, who's been here for a while and presumably should know how the merit system works starts up a thread asking about the basics, it arouses everyone's suspicions.  There have been so many instances of merit begging threads and all sorts of other nonsense crap since 2018, it's unbelievable.

Also: if you've got all your answers now, you ought to lock the thread.

Thank you everyone for the replies.

I understood a lot. I have been too busy with my daughter (she is three years old now) to check or be active on any posts/forums.

I have a little bit more time to myself now to be more active.

Creating an account from 2017 is not a short time, you have wasted quite a long time. Actually, getting merit is not that difficult if you already understand the rules and frequently open this forum, you only need a little effort to make posts that are unique and interesting so that your posts get their attention. In essence, it's never too late if you want to increase your account ranking. Just a suggestion, if there is a contest event on this forum, try to participate, because by participating in the boom merit contest it will make your account rank up quickly.

I have been here since 2017 and have Total time logged in: 16 hours and 55 minutes.

How does this Merit thing work? I am defiantly not asking for free or just handouts but I don't understand it.

If I want to give someone a Merit can I not because I am a Newbie? Or do I need to upgrade membership first?



It's not about how old you are on the forum, all is about how useful you are for the community and forum. Your total posts are just 70 as shown per your BTT profile I haven't checked it on Nijastic space maybe some of your posts are deleted. You are not active in the discussion if you really want to earn merits then be active and participate in discussions. Also to give merits to others you need to own s-merits which are obtained by receiving merits 0.5 per merit received and you can send =>1 to others which means to send 1 merit you need to earn 2 merits. Otherway to send merits is to Be a merit source which is quite rare. Also you are from 2017 and still don't know how merit system works on forum which proves that you haven't spend much time on forum.

Until the end of 2017, activity based merit was given through Airdop.  But you opened the account in 2017 but posted only 8 in 2017 and then no merit was required for Jr Member.  There was a merit request for at least member rank.  And it takes 60 post & 60 activities to become a member because of which you won't get any merit through airdrop. So now to get merit you must make good quality and informative post. then someone can give you Smerit

It doesn't matter what rank you are to give merit. it matters how many Smerit you have. If you get merit from someone!  then for every 2 merits received1 Smerit will be generated in your account.  And you can send that Smerit to any other account. But if someone got the Merits via airdrop then there might be only a few Smerits.
Note that if an account does not have Smerit and it is also a legendary account then no Merit can be sent from that account.

First of all you are a new member of the forum i.e. you are still a newbie member of the forum. The forum has several titles such as Brand New, Newbie Member, JR Member, Member, Full Member, Senior Member, Hero Member and Legendary Member. Certain merits are required to achieve this forum rank. And this merit is available only when your post has some informative content. When you have merit you can take merit from others. Suppose you have collected ten merits by posting something informative, here your (sMerit) will be 5. five merits you can give to others. In simple words you can share half of the number of merits you can collect in your own ID among all other users.

Calm down. Be positive in understanding every piece of writing you read. If you are in an angry mood, then whatever you read will seem angry.
We understand if you have a good intention with your question. Sometimes many newbie pretend to be newbie.

Many have already provided answers to your questions about how the merit system works. I think now is the time for you to implement it because some of our friends have explained and shared links to topics around your question.

My question is, why did you come so late?
There must be one purpose among many Smiley

There's nothing difficult in learning about the merit system since it has been well explained with the procedures needed together with every information needed to know about the merit system,
You're absolutely right, but not all users know how to get that information right without asking a single question [unless they alt].
Beginners often get common questions like these because they don't know where to start. This merit system is simple because you only receive and send it to other users, but what is difficult is how to earn it because each user never has the same quality of posts. So questions like that are sometimes much more helpful to them than pretending to know.

You've been here since 2017 and you can't even know your left from right? Aha? Is this a dream or in real life? How did you discover 'em passphrase after 51/2years? It's funny..
OP became inactive within 742 days of his last activity, that's record for him at this point. But it was no surprise as to how he could remember the password as long as he knew how to keep it safe.

Learned merit system is easy based on my experience,

There's nothing difficult in learning about the merit system since it has been well explained with the procedures needed together with every information needed to know about the merit system, i will say that people are the ones that feels too lazy to search and find because obviously you can't have what you don't search and not until you begin to contribute well to the forum you can't have merit or grow in rank, and all these begins with learning when you read the rules and regulations, understand the pattern to posts, activities and merits.

I was ones a newbie like you too so being busy with your loved ones isn't that bad, but if you want something that you desire you have to give it a little of or should I say all of your time to get it done yourself, like they say, if you want something to be done properly you have to do it yourself.
Try to be active, get engaged in things that will drag recognition (in this forum) and also drop something that's unique, then you get more attention and boom merit will cloud your account.

Well, you haven't gotten any merits and you can't equally merit anyone for that reason; you're not even gonna be shown an option whether or not to merit anyone....all you'll do is to try your possible best to make constructive Post; maybe, possibly the same thing you were tryna avoid in the years past, I'm afraid you have to go back and read the rules so you'd know them.

First of all, the time logged in has nothing to do with the merits so it is not important how much time you have logged into bitcointalk.

In order to give merit to some, you need to have s-merits with yourself. With every 2 merits you receive, you will have 1 s-merit to send to anyone. Now the big question is how you can get merits.

Well, there are no hard and fast rules for this, you need to post constructively, help others through your ideas/posts, and if the readers find your content useful or like your post, they will definitely give you merits.

With the rank you have now, as a newbie since 2017, we can easily increase our rank because there is no merit at this time, you have not even been able to increase your rank even in Jr. member and now it's 2023, you're also a newbie.

     This is just showing that you have no interest in engaging in matters that make sense here in this forum. In fact, there is a lot to learn here to tell you frankly. You can't really give merit because no one gives you merit because most people here think you don't deserve to be given merit for them.

From the question of Op, it doesn't appear that he is interested in having merits or alot of it. I just understood that he must have seen some good posts that he wanted to give out merits to but could not and that is why he asked the question.
Many people thinks that the merits works like facebook likes or upvotes in redits. But he has been clarified and he must have known that for you to give out merits, you must be able to earn it (this is in exception of merits sources).

Learned merit system is easy based on my experience, until right now I have 50 points merit received in several board and many people give contribution for reaching 50 merit so far. You faced difficult understanding how merit rule can check other user with their level up faster and check how many merit received in daily day.

You can comparison or learned from them how possibility and easy got merit, actually with good post reputation easy to earn merit points but you need little effort looking on board with many merit source, or you can follow some user have good habit for sending merit in their topic.

This still got me surprised after being on the forum since 2017 and you're having just 67 activities and posts,I wonder what you've been doing all these while on the forum, evenem though I understand that not every member is chanced to be active like that but even from all you've posted till date not to have received any merit means you need to improve well on the quality of what you post.

Supposed to learn? I dont want to learn it is just a question lol

If you are not interested in learning, why ask the question?

"Start to learn and read more about this forum for you to be able to send merit to people to."
I did not know this forum is just about Merits and that this is the only forum in the world. Thanks for letting me know  Roll Eyes

No, this forum is not the only one in the world, but it is very similar to other online forums, so many things that apply in other forum communities apply here as well, such as:
* Follow the forum rules and guidelines
* Be respectful to other members
* Use appropriate language and tone
* Avoid spamming
* Use the search function before asking a question, to avoid repetition
* Be open to different perspectives and opinions

So, in the future, I suggest you ditch the whole "attitude" thing when interacting with fellow members, especially when seeking their help or input for your questions.

You have been here since before the implementation of bitcointalk, but not really active so you didn't know about merits and all other forum activities which isn't really necessary for everyone to know but if you're will its actually there so all you need to do is start learning which can be achieved by reading more.

Simply to have one sMerits you need to earn 2 Merits then only you can send someone a merit and so on.

This is not the only forum in the world but it is the best, oldest, largest, most popular and most recommended of all forums related to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

This forum is not only about Merits as you mentioned, it is an educational forum and for exchanging dialogue and discussions among members in the first place.

Merits plus activity is a system to upgrade a member's rank in the forum and get some extra features, if you don't want to upgrade your rank in the forum you don't have to earn Merits and you can just write posts, but you won't lose many other features in the forum.

If you were active during that time you would have received some merits as they were airdropped based on your rank at that time which you can know from the merit thread linked above.

How does this Merit thing work? I am defiantly not asking for free or just handouts but I don't understand it.
For every good post you make or any member thinks it's helpful post he/she can send you merits for the same and there are merit sources also to help you around.But if you feel you have made good contributions still your posts have not been noticed you can share them here : [self-moderated] Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source but you don't have any at this time so you need to work on making some posts first of all.

If I want to give someone a Merit can I not because I am a Newbie? Or do I need to upgrade membership first?
You can send merits as a newbie also but for that you need to earn them first of all but you need only one merit to rank up to junior rank as you have enough activity for the same but only lag merits.So you can gain them by above mentioned ways by increasing your knowledge and contributing more to forum.

The merit question is the most frequently asked question on this forum and there are already thousands of answers  Grin
In short, you can't get something for nothing.
If you can contribute to the members of this forum in any way, they will know how to appreciate it and reward it with merit.
It all depends on your work and the effort you put in to help others in any way.

It’s understandable on his case that he didn’t know merit system despite he registered in the forum last 2017 because he mostly dealing on the marketplace section of the forum by selling good and services. He became inactive last 2019 and just recently came back last week to burst post probably to get merit for his rank up requirements.

The sudden interest change from digital goods for 2 years to ranking up now is enough reason that literally new on merit system.

For your question above you don't need to buy membership in order to give some merits all you need is to earn merits cause when you receive 1 merit then you will be given a 0.5 sMerits which means before you can send 1 merit to other user you must receive at least 2 merits.

Op good day as I observe when I looked up your profile all I can say is that you need to improve a lot of things in order to receive merits. And one of that is you need to expand your text with good message that can help other users or else making post that contributes to the forum then you will be given a merit.

Every rank in the forum can send out merits when they have a sendable merit. When you a member of the forum finds your post helpful and meaningful they reward you by meriting your post so you just have to keep making meaningful posts and and engage in discussions when you have something meaningful to contribute and when your post is useful then you might be lucky to receive a merit. When you receive a merit you also receive a sendable merit (s merit) which you can send to someone other member you find their post meaningful.
For Every merit received you also receive Smerit worth half of it e.g when you have 2 merit you also have 1 smerit and so it goes.

Nobody is been penalised due to questions, but most of the members believe that by now you would have known the system of merit and how it comes to circulation.
Responding to your questions: Merit can only be given to another person when you have received merit from someone and if merit is given to you, and it happens to be two (2) merit you received, from that two merit you received you have a one (1) sendable merit  which  is called ( Smerit) to give another person. But the process whereby you received four (4) merits, you have two (2) smerit to give out. So I want you to understand that you will most earn a merit before having an smerit to give someone else.

✂️

maybe grahammiranda13 has now been 'checked' and he would like to get more involved in the forum in order to increase/improve his reputation in order to be able to apply for various BTC signature campaigns in the future and in the long term.

to point 1: your current logtime has very little to do with it
to point 2: if you create a very informative post/thread then the probability is high that you will get a merit. if you have collected a total of 2 merits, you can send 1 merit to another user in return - if you have 4 merits then you can distribute 2 and so on...
to point 3: newbies can also receive/send merits. through the number of merits you receive and through your activity in the forum, your userrank will increase after some time.

if you want to read up more on these points, some of the previous posters (rat03gopoh and lovesmayfamilis) have already posted some interesting links on this topic

OP, why do you need merit? You do not look like a person who is interested in the forum, it is clear from your posts that you are doing your business here, and still very rarely appear on the forum.
For you, something else is more important, not to spoil your reputation. In order for the users you communicate with to trust you, you need to be honest with them. I think you will also be interested in another topic. Not getting a negative tag from DT members at some point is more significant than having a few merits.

Try to make topics/posts that are constructive and with useful information for the community, by doing this the other members will give you merits.
Merit is like a compliment, applause, or confirmation of a good job for your post or transmitted information.

Doing this is difficult, maybe not. Surely you read posts and articles on subjects you know well. Then share your knowledge with the community and you will certainly receive merits.

If in doubt, it's good to ask. I've always heard that it's better to ask stupid questions than to be stupid for not knowing. But, it's also good to learn by researching.



Another tip: don't post multiple posts in a row to respond to multiple quotes. You can make several quotes in the same post.

You can give merits if you're a newbie, but you don't have any. Someone must first give you some merits, in order for you to be able to send them to other people. For every 1 merit you receive, you get 0.5 sMerits (merits you can send).

I have been here since 2017 and have Total time logged in: 16 hours and 55 minutes.

How does this Merit thing work? I am defiantly not asking for free or just handouts but I don't understand it.

If I want to give someone a Merit can I not because I am a Newbie? Or do I need to upgrade membership first?
