Any further discussion with the OP is completely pointless, because obviously he already knows everything about the forum, and this is just an attempt to earn some merit.
FatFork presented enough information for everything we need to know about the OP

I went through your profile and it seems you enjoy posting more in the altcoin discussion board and that’s one major reason you’re post isn’t getting the necessary attention you seek and from my little observation I’ve noticed that the altcoin discussion board doesn’t really have or receive more merits and I don’t know your local board but to think the local board is one place one can get all lots of merits and that’s also dependent on how active your local board is and how many merit sources they have.

I want to advice that you do your best to reconsider posting in other boards like the bitcoin discussion board, beginners and help, economics and also the reading discussion boards if you truly want to earn merits but you should also try applying for merits from merit giveaways.

Are you on the forum because of merit? If you are here because of merit and you are not working towards getting merit, then you won't be getting it. If you are in need of merit, just make sure you improve your posting pattern, make quality posts on the forum here, and I am sure you are going to get the merit you need. There is no way you can gain merit if you are not positively contributing to the forum. You don't have to be jealous because of other members getting merit, you have to start working on yourself, and you will also be like members getting tons of merit.

That should be the reason why you should be in the forum here. You are not a sport enthusiast or good in bitcoin technical aspects, you can learn all those things in the forum here. Your main target should be how to learn, you shouldn't focus on merit. If you have all that knowledge, you will be able to make quality posts, and you will always receive merit. I am sure that in the process of learning, you will be receiving merit because people will know that you are serious to learn. Just focus on learning and you will get merit.

You have 101 merits and you are asking this question, it doesn't look nice. Now if I may ask how did you get those merits, the way you use can be use throughout. Well there is no magic in the acquisition of merits and all what you need to do is to make quality posts then merits will come you without asking for it. Really I understand your point. Though this few months I have been offline and when I was active, I see such as well.
Some members see Merit acquisition as a competition. But that is bullshit. And all what you need is meaningful posts and contribute meaningful to knowledge then what you need will definitely come. Others have advise you so read the comments and follow the instructions. I wish you all the best. Go and do well and progress.

No doubt mate. From the OP bpip profile, I noticed OP post was majorly deleted by moderators which means OP posts were all below standard which shows that OP needs to improve and only then can OP get what he or she desires here.

If you say OP needs to change his posting styles I have no doubt over it mate because that is the reason I think OP is complaining about merit not accorded him. Aside that, OP has questions to answer as it pertains the ownership of his account. I think hearing OP own side of the story would be okay.

why do you have to be jealous when you see other members getting merit, compared to the posts you make, of course those who get merit have much higher quality posts than you have, I can't find out which country you come from but being active on your local board will be very  help you get merit, my advice is, you have to spread your posts into many sections, the altcoin board gives a little merit because merit sources don't really like posts there, you also have to increase the number of words in each of your posts so that it doesn't seem like spam.

Op don't be jealous of others they all did hard work and the merits are their rewards. I know earning merits is very difficult as I am also a full member but due to hard work and consistency, I get these merits. My tip to you is just to make quality posts, Quality post does not mean lengthy and comprehensive but it means being to the point, concise, giving your own suggestion, and helping others. I think these are a few things that engage other users to merit your post. But honestly do not go after the merits when you are greedy for the merits you will do things in a hurry and that is what I think the newbie leads to make mistakes and get negative from the DT. So show some patience and work consistently and you will be rewarded.

I agree with everything you explained above that it is very true. So I want to ask, why be confused? In fact, you just need to carry out everything you describe well. As usual, be active in the forum by making posts or arguments that are useful for members of this forum. Because basically you just need to pour all the knowledge you know, be it about bitcoin, gambling, altcoins, or economics, into a post or reply, very well worded. I'm sure with this, you will have more opportunities to always get merit.

Apart from that, don't forget to keep learning and expanding your knowledge, especially about cryptocurrencies like bitcoin. Because looking at my personal experience, when the knowledge I had was still very shallow, it was also very difficult for me to get rewards. So until now I am still learning, because I feel that the knowledge I currently have is still very lacking.

And a final suggestion. Don't forget to always carry out activities on this forum with a sincere heart and always enjoy the process. Because if you can be sincere and enjoy the process, I'm sure everything you want in this BTT forum will always run smoothly. So in essence, contribute well to this forum, because if you have made a good impact on this forum, I'm sure you will always be able to get merit.

As far as I can tell @OP needs to change his posting style first without going after his wits. From @Cantsay bro's post it looks like most of his posts are spam. So to get merit he must first improve the quality of the post. I noticed something on his account that I understand that he is not active regularly. Moreover, he last posted on August 9th and was active again on October 8th. He was inactive for 1 month, it completely shows that he is inactive most of the time. He has to study a lot to get talent. And be active in the forum and post quality posts. So good luck to newbies or all.

With time all posts with good quality are all rewarded. What it takes is just patience and you being consistent and devoted to making your contributions. The aspect of one being organic is another point here because when you are real, you express yourself with ease and to the understanding of every one who reads your post. It would be self explanatory and  able to pass across a message to the readers. Even if your posts are not merited immediately, it would be looked into as time goes on.

I think from my personal experience as one building from scratch, you need to be as organic as possible. All the merits I received came from my best posts/comments. And from my observation of post that have been merited on the forum, they are all quality posts. As long as you have a positive contribution to make, don't hesitate to do so. It might not yield you merit at the instance but with time you will get rewarded for your positive contributions.

You are absolutely right, this account has only been up for a few days before being inactive for a long time. And it turns out OP is a full member but he is completely clueless about how to earn merit. And did he wake up in 2023 but judging by the quality of his posts, it looks like he bought this account from another owner. How can the OP ask such a question if we can't be sure that he is not the owner of this account? When a person becomes a full member he spends enough knowledge to gain merit and then change his rank. But here it looks completely different I think he bought the account from another person and then posting mindless posts on his own how to earn merit. We have seen many accounts change hands that were purchased from other people but are currently given negative feedback from the forum. So we can be sure that this account was purchased by the OP and changed hands due to which he is asking such questions.

Those who are replying without reading the whole thread should have a look at this post by FatFork to understand that OP is not as innocent as he may sound and we are basically wasting our time making suggestions to him on how he can earn Merits and grow an account that is basically ban evading since one of his alt accounts has been banned previously and he probably didn't appeal for that since he didn't want to reveal his other accounts and he instead decided to continue using this account thinking that people might not come to know.

@OP, it seems like you have got more serious things to think about before Merits. So it's basically useless for you to learn how you can earn Merits to grow the rank of your account when it will eventually get banned any time soon.

I have seen many accounts here asking similar questions and it dawned on me that most of the accounts asking such questions were account airdropped merits years back as a result of their activities then. They never earned a merit by themselves and do not know how and what it takes to do so. Some are bounty hunters with no much knowledge and contributions from their end but we're just lucky to gain those merit.

Is it that the account changed hands or something else because a person at such hieght should not be asking such questions even if it was earned as  a result of merit airdropped because for the number of years you have stayed here you should have the knowledge about how to earn more merit and engaging in activities as well to give you a boost and push up as well.

There are links I can see which you can look into for yourself. Maybe those links could be of help to you.

You are not a newbie and should be the one giving tips on how to get merits, not asking how to get merits. It should not even be a question to be asking when you already have earned 101 merits. How did earn does merits without knowing how to get merits? It is just funny. If you earned those merits without knowing exactly what you did, go back to those topics that the merits were awarded and try to observe what you did correctly there, you should be able to notice something if you can observe well.

How you also try to take time to know how committed they were to what they contributes, with the sacrifice of their time and efforts, if you know what it really takes to generate merits then you will understand more better what they have also done that attracted them to seing this result, but this shouldn't be new to you because you're not new to the forum.


I can see now that it's not by how far but how well, someone like you doesn't even know that one rarely get merits from the gambling boards, i can't be surprised, it's not about being active or aged on this forum make one get merits, the value in what you contributed to the community place you on the chance of getting merit.

No doubt if you can ask such a question then possibly you gained this rank and merit as a result of the airdropped  merit system years back before now which invariably means you did not put much efforts in growing up here and now you must do that in other to move forward since the system is not as you think it was before. 

Just as the other members here have advised you, you can submit your best posts for review so that merit source can review them and merit them accordingly. The links provided by other members can aid you in submitting your post for review while you wait for your turn.

While waiting for your review, you should be able to engage in meaningful conversations and contributing to the development and growth of the platform as you can. I believe if you are capable of doing such, you could just be rewarded with merits for your input.

As far as I know, old members received airdropped merits according to their rank and activity. So, Full members received 100 airdropped merits to get their rank, Sr 250, hero 500, and Legendaries 1000. There are a lot of inactive accounts that have not earned a single merit other than the air-dropped merits. So, when I see high-rank accounts without earning a single or very little amount of merits, I tend to think those are sold accounts. The account changed hands. The account owner does not even know if they have a high-ranked Bitcointalk account because of their previous activity. So, if you see a Legendary member with zero earned merits, it means they did not earn it with their knowledge.

I think you don't need to force yourself to enter a field that you may not have mastered. But of course you have to learn to enter fields that you have never studied before to broaden your insight.

So my advice is that you have to be a pioneer who brings change in your own local board. Namely, be the person who provides the most valuable information there. Be the most active person there. And contribute with the insights you have to help improve the insights of other users on your Local Board.

And currently there are actually many very good global merit sources that provide offers to any local user who feels they have a good post locally but hasn't gotten Merit. One of them is hugeblack. He created a special thread for that, namely ([Merit] Help posts in local boards that did not receive enough merits)
And I think this makes local users enthusiastic about contributing locally again.

And actually it's not just Hugeblack. But other Merit sources also create threads that will also help review posts from Local, even though the thread is not specifically for Local. But in the thread rules it is stated that the thread owner, namely fillippone, will also welcome quality posts from any locale. this is the thread I mean. ([Merit] Share your best posts/threads with Fillippone to be merit assessed)

But focus on helping solve every problem that arises in a discussion by digging deeper and finding solutions after reading lots of references and writing them down. Unconsciously we will increase our own insight. The more we find out about something, the more insight we will gain. and as our insight broadens, every piece of writing we write will definitely be useful for those who need it.

hmmm good idea on this, i think have been missing out something in the past on how to get, which you have just given me a clue, am either good on those stuff he mentioned, no idea in sport and others, with this advice you gave out, i will get hold of it on my LOCAL BOARD thanks much appreciated
