Topic: Need advice on getting merits - page 7. (Read 1312 times)

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?

Sometimes its not all about posting but rather what you do to earn that since there are so many forum members go to the threads where reputable members give merits on certain task asked for example here.

fillippone's just share your best post/thread and receive a merit https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/merit-share-your-best-poststhreads-with-fillippone-to-be-merit-assessed-5412657

hugeblack's local best post that didn't get merit sharing thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/merit-help-posts-in-local-boards-that-did-not-receive-enough-merits-5465195

This is few threads that can help you to get merit and there are other more so try to search and post good so that you would be notice by our fellow members and convinced that you deserve to receive a merit. Anyways don't get pressured about it since merit will just came to you and just post quality information.

True, being knowledgeable and helpful will make it much easier to earn merit, but what some members (usually new ones) don't understand is that even asking the right question and being genuinly interested in Bitcoin can also bring you a lot of merits.
Since they don't realize that, they rather copy/paste and do other similar shenaningans in order to appear more knowldgeable than they are and we know how that usuallty ends up.

@WannaCry  for start, get out of altcoin board as that's bascially a cespool that merit sources rarely visit and you can be the most knowledgeable guy there and it will still be very hard to get the merit.

Well now you are back, it's nice that you raised such a thread of which most members have given you advice on how to go about growing your account. If you really want to earn more merits and grow your Account here on Bitcointalk then you have to be active on some boards where there's possibility to earn merits. Merits often take time to accumulate. Don't be discouraged if you don't see immediate results. Keep contributing positively, and recognition may come over time.you just have to remember that the most important aspect is to genuinely contribute to the community and enjoy your interactions with others. Over time, your efforts are likely to be noticed and rewarded with merits.

Yes you might be seeing a total of 101 merits but OP has only earned a single merit since the merit option was implemented the remaining merits were just airdrop which was at then base on activity. When you check Bpip.org site you will see the difference there, some of the accounts that received airdrop merits will have a higher total merits than earned.



OP there is no secret to earning merits other than contributing valuable to the forum either creating threads or through replies. This is done by you having the required knowledge about the forum, bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Another way I will suggest is to read through the post history of high ranking but prominent ones you would learn how to my post and also get knowledge from them

Your username reminded me of a popular ransomware that destroyed many people's systems. Back to the topic, it's not true that you can get tons of merits from gambling threads. Gambling boards are the haven of spammers and merit sources rarely visit those boards. No matter how constructive your post is, it will be buried in a lot of spam.

If you have good writing skills, try to be active in the beginner and help section, technical discussion, project development, meta, and reputation. Even if you do not earn a lot of merits, you will learn many things from these boards which will help you to earn merits in the future.

You actually answered yourself in which ways you could get merits for your posts, but the problem is that you admit that you are not good at any of those things, which is actually a problem considering that you are on a forum where, among other things, the most debate is about Bitcoin.

If you look at your statistics when it comes to posts in relation to boards where you post, it is clear that more than 50% of your posts are in Altcoins, Politics&Society or Off-topic, with the addition that you yourself admit that you have not been very active on the forum in recent years.

If you want some change, then you have to change yourself - and that means that you should start visiting the forum a lot more and reading the posts of other members, and with time you will certainly learn something, so you will be able to participate in discussions.

Determine the focus on self-development with good habits regarding the knowledge you have about bitcoin, crypto, trading and other technical things that make it easier for other people to get something useful from us.
The simplest formula is how and when to give a form of gratitude to someone as well as other people will do it to you.

OP, there are no special secrets, everything goes as usual with the terms and conditions that have been arranged. Dont push. Activate yourself like flowing water like those who make you jealous when you see the amount of their merit acquisition.
