Topic: Need advice on getting merits - page 8. (Read 1499 times)

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.

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.

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!
