Topic: Need advice on getting merits - page 7. (Read 1499 times)

If you think these are the things up need to do yo earn merit, because all this you have mentioned doing them you ate playing a good role in the forum and I expected you to do this things because you already know what to do that will give you the merit you want. The  only thing I can advise you is  for you to be yourself,  just do best for the forum by playing a good role . Always try to know more things about bitcoin,  because if you really check people who earn merit on a constant is because they are giving good knowledge about bitcoins from their discussions.

I can not believe you @op, your account has been created since 2017, even if you are the dullest of all, you must have understood bitcoins and it's technicality after 6 years of been a member of this forum. Well I won't assume you bought the account cause you sound like a newbie in your post.

Those things you listed above which you think you are not good at , are things you should focus on, learn them and become useful to others. Is not a must to know all at once but make sure you know what you want to share with others.

Then find (or create) a direction in which you are good at one (or more) of these things.

Improve any skills or abilities in yourself (not necessarily directly related to the forum). Having thus accumulated a certain experience and knowledge, one day you will be able to apply it (by giving useful advice or making an informative post) for which you will certainly be rewarded (at least with gratitude, at most with merit).

There are no people on the forum who are nothing at all, but at the same time rose to high ranks. They all had behind them experience and knowledge (from different fields of activity and areas), acquired in life, by sharing which they were noted for their merits. Follow their lead.

Also, be active. No one has ever achieved anything on a forum by being passive (in real life either).

Don’t forget to take a look at this topic, perhaps you will learn something useful from it, because at one time it was created precisely with the hope that it would one day be useful to someone. Maybe for you?

Can you explain how you are a full member but don't know how to get merits? I'm a little confused here, mate. You should have known that well enough. Usually, newbies create this kind of thread.

Let's just assume you are telling the truth & your story is real. Nobody knows for sure.

If you really want to earn merit & rank up, you should be determined to learn. One thing you shouldn't run after is merit itself. Just try to be a good poster, make quality content, help those who you can, contribute to this community, & you are good to go.

I'll suggest you read some threads. It may improve your post quality.

Wow... I'm really surprised that this thread has become a judgment thread. I was surprised that a member asked about merit even though he was already a full member. Too bad OP, your post sounds like it's going to be hell for you. Don't worry, you didn't have time for forums before, so it's likely you'll have more time out there

btw, it seems like people commenting here forgot that they were going off topic, maybe someone needs to take it to the reputation board

You said well, and the amazing thing is how the OP has reacted to it; he did not get angry at the accusations; instead, he simply said I was busy and had no time to spend on BTT. That's why I came back now while I had some time. And many even said that he is after merits, which he should not do while he has 100+ merits.

I prefer all people to have the same mindset as Learn Bitcoin has, and I have: not kidding, just saying the true fact. Because I have seen people on this forum become more sceptical and point more fingers, like they are the only judges here. I really liked your reply and was not able to stop myself from appreciating it.

We need more members like you who think before making a post. Actually, most of the members are following the same pattern, like if one says something bad about it or raises some question, then the next reader will not think for another second and start to elaborate on or back up those questions that the previous one has raised.

You should join discussions that you have a knowledge with and if you have found something that is worth sharing like news, events and other information then you should share it here or if you want to create a guide, tips that aren't created yet or already existed here in the forum then many will appreciate it and will get the; merited. There are other ways to earn merits like joining a merit thread where you have to post your best post and get merited.

It might be a off topic reply but your comment reminded me of something from "Kung Fu Panda" movie, when Po's father says, "There is no secret ingredient".  

Sorry in advance. I was so tempted, so I replied.

This is a bad alibi it just means you don't want to improve and you want the easy way, if you want merits you have to brand yourself by learning these things there is no shortcut to this,  these new members you've seen with a lot of merits worked their way and contributed, you cannot be an exception, you already know how to get merits so work on your posting style and habit.
Based on your post history you are a Filipino we have a thread about merit there how come you missed it or you are not interested?

The Op has not earned any merit before, aside from the extra one that was gotten from his local board. During the merit system, maybe a few (s) merits were airdropped to him; I don't know how many, but based on the merit record, the OP has only sent out four merits twice to a user, which I believe can't be his alt. Maybe a lack of merit won't allow his cheating scheme to go that way.

If the OP had earned the 100 merits, he could have been active and observant enough to know how things work and could not have found it difficult to earn extra merits again, but because the merits were airdropped to the OP, he probably doesn't know how to earn some genuine ones.

The entire story I guess, based on the finds, most of the OP's alts have been active over the years, so maybe the entire story is just lies in order to attract attention to his account and maybe earn some charity merit, but the reverse was the case.

I checked your post history, and you are mostly active in the alternative cryptocurrency section, and in my opinion, you are also a bounty hunter and your local board is Pilipinas (correct me if I am wrong). Well, I checked the chart made by Rikafip and was amazed to see that you have more active members than our local community and also you guys have shared more posts than us. But when I checked the merit share it is way lesser than our local community. It means, you might not have any merit source in your community or your community members are not gaining any merits outside the community.

For example, many of the seniors of our local board earn merits from other sections and distribute them to the local members to motivate them. And I think this is what your local community is lacking.

But of course, you have to earn merits from other sections even if you want to support yourself or your local community's members. Well, many members have already shared their suggestions but mine is, please get some education and learn the technicalities that people love to hear about. Come up with useful and helpful material that should be unique and helpful for newbies and for legendries as well.

Op did you suddenly wake up from sleep to create this thread or you mistakenly took your brother's phone or that of your sister to login his or her bitcointalk account? I don't think something is right here because for a user that has stayed up to 6 years in the forum according to your profile which shows that your account was registered since June 2017 to be asking this kind of  question shows a lot of suspicion that you may not be the original owner of this account.

You have 100+ merits yet you don't know how merits are gotten how does this sound to you? you are putting yourself into a big trouble I hope you won't come up with stories after now to cover up your initial story.

It seems that OP really has something to worry about because his other account (akitha) isn't getting any merit either. No wonder OP looks al other full members with envy since they can get 50 merit a month and he can't even get 1 on 2 accounts


That's a lie because your alt account was active in 2018, 19 and 20. What else are you going to lie about?

Share what you know, share your opinions, be constructive with your posts.
Merits will come automatically. Well, not automatically, but there are many merit threads out there. The Sceptical Chymist also offers post reviews to those users (thanks to him again ).

Merits are everywhere. You don't need to focus on it. We are in the same local board base on your posts, and I agree with what you said that there aren't that much active users out there, so I guess since I just got my Legendary rank a few days ago, I will put most of my merits on my local board. Of course I'll pick those constructive, and that of with quality . Gambling threads aren't getting that much merits IMO. I don't know if it's just me, but most of the posts that I'm seeing on gambling section are mostly one-liners, and kind of redundant as well.

As for technical aspect of Bitcoin, I already said it multiple times that I'm not a techy guy, and I don't know anything about the technical side of it. Maybe I know some terminologies, and I know the basics, but that's all. You don't need to know the technical side of Bitcoin to earn merits. Sure, it can make you earning merits way faster, but that doesn't mean that it's the only way to earn it.

I already shared my advice. Don't focus on it. Focus on the things that you know. Learn more, and share it here. Be constructive with your posts. If you need to learn how to be good at English then do it. I mean that's what I did in the past. It took me a long time to earn the Legendary rank, but it's all worth it. Can I ask you OP on why you are asking this type of question? Most of the answers that I'm hearing as to why they're asking this is because they want to increase their rank thus, they increase their earnings in campaigns.

P.S. Ohhh men. I wasted a few minutes of my life typing, and sharing things to you, and I saw that you have alt accounts, so I guess that answers my question then. You are asking this because you want to earn more.

Even my local board is not very active because there only a few active members in my local board and so I know how you must be feeling.
But trust me, it isn't about the merits but what you get from the forum and what you give it back. Keep reading  across all boards throughout the forum.
That way you will keep getting more knowledge and then keep helping others in whatever way you can and that way you will contribute to the forum.
Just doing these I am sure you will be able to get enough reputation and knowledge that you won't even think about merits ever again. Cheers!

I haven't seen any evidence of cheating with his alt accounts, but ChannaJay was banned from the forum back in 2019, so he's ban evading.


https://bpip.org/Profile?id=2257529

The thing is that, out of those three accounts that share the same common wallet address, one of them was actually banned at some point: ChannaJay. Now unless there is a plausible reason for these three accounts to be using a common address, whilst claiming to be distinct people under some pretence, the non-banned accounts would be ban evading and should follow the same path as ChannaJay. Merits is probably rather secondary at this point ...

Oh damn. It seems all those suggestions and times wasted. These are not the typical newbie who wants to learn by creating these topics. I am curious if he cheated in campaigns with his multiple accounts or not. I am curious if he transfers some merits to his alts or not. If he did not, good job, and keep up the good work. Having multiple accounts is allowed here.

A full member is not a newbie. A full member has to spend at least four months in this forum to get the rank. So, you should know how these things work. Just don't act like you don't know anything about it.

Sorry about your experience but in your post you answered yourself because you mentioned the tips that can earn you merits. It's unbelievable to say you don't have idea or good in any of these board you mentioned. God has been fair enough to give us the brain to discover our talent. You are just yet to discover the area you are good in perhaps due to your inconsistent stay in the forum. You can read and write and your English is not that bad so, what you need now is to choose the area that best suit your interest and focus on improving yourself in that area by reading other's post in that board and expose yourself to offline research as well. Trust me by doing this, in no time you'll become expert in the area you choose to focus on.

Stop thinking about earning merits at this time and improve on yourself first, merit will come chasing you when it's right time. Too much emphasis on earning merits will make you become desperate and end up doing things that may lead your account to be ban. It's all about active contribution in the forum and nothing more. When you are known for giving out useful ideas, people will be interested in reading your post and your merits journey will surely begin.

I still have doubts! This isn't your only forum account you've created, is it? And you're well aware of how things work here, so there's really no need for such questions.









How many other alt accounts are out there?
