Topic: Need advice on getting merits - page 8. (Read 1312 times)

That user was a Full member before merit system appeared and received only 1 merit.

You can check with BPIP and knew about that. I quickly had that guess after seeing account creation time is in 2017.

Post history is in altcoin discussion board that is ignored by many users and merit sources barely visit that board. Those posts are one line so you have to guess about those post quality too.

"Need advice on getting merits"?

Please read two topics from theymos, OP.
Merit & new rank requirements
Welcome message

If you want to earn merits, then avoid posting a bunch of stuff on Altcoin Boards. Most of the thread posted in that section is quickly buried, and, in most cases, it consists of useless discussions about 'shitcoins' that promise to have great value.

Plus, most of the stuff you can read here can be learned! Just don't expect it to happen overnight  . Consume bitcoin knowledge consistently and you'll do just fine.

I totally get where you're coming from, buddy. I've been lurking around the gambling board myself, and it's not exactly a merit goldmine, if you know what I mean. But hey, I understand.

I can't really tell you how to score more merits because, honestly, I'm not raking them in either. What I can suggest, though, is just being true to yourself. Post in topics where you think you can be genuinely helpful, and forget about chasing those merits. I've seen a member here (I won't drop names) who hit Legendary status pretty darn quick because one of the merit sources was impressed with their posts. And I'll give it to them, their posts are valuable.

So, what I'm trying to say is, don't go hunting for merits – just be a stand-up forum member, share your knowledge, and help out where you can. That's the ticket.

I am surprised seeing this kind of post coming from a full member but wait how did you come about the merits on yours accounts because earning 100 merits means you should have some knowledge about posting here except if the account change hands or maybe you bought the account.

Anyways the best advice for you is to learn first, learn about things that interests you before you begin to engage in discussions or even think of earning merits. Once you have learned about them it will be easier for you to make meaningful discussions and earn merits along the way.

The 100 merits you're referring to was from early days before the merit system was implemented. Old accounts got a default amount of merit based on their current ranking that time.

Hi Chiwell, this account has never been compromised so far. Regarding your question, I already said above how I get my current number of merits. I created this account way back 2017 and merit system was introduced year later. Things got busy with personal life so I took a years of hiatus in this forum. I just came back lately to see how things are going here.

Hope this cleared your doubts. 

I mean there was no guarantee that you were going to get merit even though you did a quality or great post since the merits are given by members, so you dont really need to do anything, to be honest, you just need to continue doing a quality post and go with the flow and dont pressure yourself on getting one, but for sure higher quality has a higher chance of getting merits, so the only thing that you can do is just to increase you post quality something like that.

The best thing to do here just continues your cryptocurrency journey and then you have the forum that could easily help you in any case because we already have a lot of experience members here so they could easily help you, then I best one I think is sharing your experience and knowledge here in the forum, if you learn something you could create a thread here in the forum, the way I see things here in the forum if you share your knowledge and experience here in the forum, most of the time members that do that get more merits in my observation so I think it will work as well if you do that.

Still these wasn't any competition so its always better to chill and dont get pressure by it, if your just active, you going to get merit along the way and rank up for sure.

I have check this account an it seem this account just wake up, I don't think this account is yours



Mr OP this question is not for you, it seem that you are not the owner of this account, if at this level you are still asking how to get merit definitely you didn't build this account yourself, my question is that how did you manage to get to this level for the first time.

Look: It's like asking how to climb the corporate ladder. You simply will be ranked up if you actually deserve it.

Heck, a lot of us here aren't even trying so hard. If you truly know a lot of about Bitcoin/crypto/security/trading/investing/etc, people with merits will see it and give you merits. It's really that simple. There's no secret sauce here.

First of all, merits are not that surplus on gambling board because there you have repetition of threads and mega threads where users just go and make spam which will be hidden within few hours in pages of threads so it’s difficult to earn merits constantly at the gambling board.  But the few that still stands out still manages to earn a few merits.

Another thing is that you need knowledge to be able to earn merits, so if you are not good at the technical part of bitcoin which a lot of us are not then just look for other parts that interest you and study more about it,,, you really don’t have to be a genius at bitcoin before you can earn merits just make sure the little you know are not misconceptions and whenever there’s an opportunity for you to share your knowledge make sure you do that to the best you can.

And btw, it seems like the 100 merits you have was airdropped I didn’t really check but if you take you time to go through the forum read old threads and also new ones that are being created, look at how those that re earning high amount of merits do their post and what type of posts get them merits you’ll be able to earn some for yourself.

Edit:

I just checked your info at bpip.org and your history isn’t looking good.



This right here indicates that you’re a spammer or your post is of low quality and you really have to change your posting style and like I said earlier learning about bitcoin will definitely be a great idea as it will help you.

The best advice you will get is to engage actively and positively on the forum, and you will be rewarded with merit. Just have something real to give to the forum, and you might be lucky enough to earn a merit like the one you earned from your local board a few hours ago.

There is one statement I came across in this forum: "Don't chase merit; make quality posts and allow merit to chase you." Some local boards are also good at helping one another, especially when they see you contributing actively to your local board.
 
My advice: Look for that area where you can be productive and start making organic posts there; genuinely, don't try to outsmart anyone in the name of chasing merit, as that might land you into trouble.

Hi guys, I want to ask some tips on getting some merits. I somehow feel jealous when I see other full members having tons of it even if they're just new to the forum. I know that there are some ways to earn it like being active in your local board, engaging in the gambling threads talking about particular sports, create an informational thread, or have some deep knowledge about bitcoin's technical like block size, hash rate, etc. And that's my concern, I am not good with any of those stuffs. I am not a sports enthusiasts nor good in bitcoin technical. Our local board is not that active also compared to others where I see some members' their main merit source.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking my time to read my post. Cheers!
