I noticed you didn’t actually use the word Bitcoin in your entire post (except mentioning bitcointalk).
This is a forum about Bitcoin. Actually coming here to learn about, develop for, and discuss Bitcoin is what will make newbies most successful.

My experience so far
Today, after writing article about how to secure crypto wallets, i was ranked up to junior member. It was a great achievement for me even though I have just started. I can still be novice a little to the forum but at least I have known little.
My special thanks to staff and members of the forum that have supported me, If I posted quality contents but no merits, I might have stopped posting, I will only be the one that wasted time on nothing but staff and members of the forum proved me wrong. I posted and they merited my posts for been of good quality.
In a short memory lane, few days ago, I remembered when I joined the forum, I thought it would be easy but I learnt lessons, that no easy way out in life, but only the dawning can be hard but the end will be rewarding.
At first, I did not know where and how to start, and neither did I know what to write. I checked meta section, saw a post about someone that was permanently banned. The first thing that came to my mind was 'how are they getting ban'. I checked for the rules and regulations of the forum and I learnt not to plagiarize or spam and I took time to read about the rules.
So, this was how I started getting aquatinted to the forum. But, not all yet known. I have to sit down and think 'how are posts getting merit'. So, this led me to the checking of merited posts. I learnt a lot from the posts, they are of high quality and I then know that this forum, Bitcointalk is a forum of high quality. So, for me to get merit for posting, I have to post high quality contents that will be helpful for members.
To the newbies
Now, I have graduated to junior member and I can not go back to the low rank again. I have some advice for you. I believe you have gained a lot from what I posted up there but will summarize it here and including other information that can benefit you.
1. Obey the forum's rules and regulations
Newbies should first read the forum rules and regulation, you may think you do not need it until you are banned. The first thing you should think about is how you will not be banned. See the link of the forum rules below.

2. Avoid psychological projection
Blaming people for your mistakes in which you will not accept or even know you made or are making mistakes. This can happen to you on this forum, thinking you know all because you are not new to cryptocurrencies. Just know that because you know about cryptocurrencies does not mean you know about the forum. If you are blaming people for not meriting your posts can not help you, just think about what you are not doing right, only this can help you.
3. Do not beg for merit
I have noticed some newbies that have no more than 2 posts and zero merit begging for merit. This signifies unseriously and a perfect no-fit to be among the forum members. Let your topics and posts do the work.
4. Check for merited posts
Like I did, I checked for merited posts, they are of high quality and very helpful. Check how the posts were written. You will learn from the merited posts of how you can posts and get merits. No better way or means than this.
5. Write quality posts and topics
Your posts should be of high quality, do not spam or plagiarize because it will ensue permanent ban.
6. create more quality topics
This is very important, it will be easy for merit source to locate your posts and if truly worth merit, one or more merit source members will merit your posts. Also, other members that see your threads or posts useful can merit it. Also, know that not only threads are merited, also your replies to your posts or other people's thread can be merited.
7. Be calm, patient, believe and be useful
If you do not have any of the following characteristics, you can not be a member here. But if you have them, you will be one of the best ones in the future especially if your are useful with posting quality threads and replies.
8. Avoid SPAMMING and PLAGIARISING
I have mentioned this above, and if you read the furum rules and regulations carefully, you will notice spammed and plagiarized topics and replies are not allowed. This can only result to account ban, often permaban i.e permanently banned.
9. Do not be shameful to ask for help or question about the forum
This forum can be very difficult to be understood by new members, if you have tried and know some part of it, you can ask anything you do not know and want answers for, our ranked members are happy to answer such questions. This happened to me when I was new here on the forum, I ask questions and I was well answered by ranked members. You can make use of beginners and help for that, or bitcoin technical support for anything related bitcoin wallets and transactions.
