Finally I’m close to becoming a Hero Member at Bitcointalk, and I felt it was about time I spoke about my journey and answer the question did merits do more harm or good.

To be frank I was only days away from being ranked to a Hero Member, and suddenly merits system was announced and on the first look i was angry at it because I thought i would never be able to rank up here. After a few hours I got over my anger and again read @Theymos post and keenly read the discussion that followed and suddenly it struck me it ain’t that bad as I had thought it would be.

In order to rank I began looking around this forum for guides written by other members, who were collecting merits with ease and most of them had one common point don’t write a post to earn merits, write it because it’s helpful and it should make sense to all those who read it. I’m also thankful for my managers past and current who have taken time out of their schedule and helps me with valuable tips. One tip I would like to share is choose one or two topic boards you’re passionate about, and then continue focusing on those topic boards, once people see your posts is knowledgeable merits shall follow.

At the start of this year I was hoping to become a Hero Member by this year’s end, and I have covered certain distance in my journey and now I feel I can achieve my goal of becoming a Hero Member very soon.

Last but not the least I feel the merit system has done more good than we all thought it could do, yes I know I’m yet not able to rank up and I’m saying this but people on this forum often forget the forum is bigger than the Individual. If anyone else is stuck just don’t give up, just focus on the basics, and keep posting constructive posts you too shall rank up cheers!!!.

We are with you BRO always, I believe dreams never die.

I'm also want to be high ranked member as everyone , so working hard to fulfill my dream.
Best wishes for you buddy

Great post,  many young forum users should read it.
It is very easy to complain about injustice in this forum and be negative.
You have taken a different, constructive approach and I congratulate you on that.
It's always better to focus on the things we can do than feel hopeless and simple give up.
I hope that your example will be inspiration for others.
I hope you will soon become not only Hero but Legendary.


@Daniel91 thank you for your kind words and you’re right many people got obsessed with the negativity surrounding merits, and till date they’re only complaining. Honestly I only keep giving one message to all who wish to rank up, i.e. just to keep posting constructive posts and merits will follow. Indeed my long term target is to finally become a legendary member out here, but currently I’m trying to do my best to achieve my wish of ranking up before 2020 starts.

Here's a challenge, putting into considering you achieve 470 before the 20-25th of December, you get a 50 30 merit boost from me or any remaining amount you will need to reach the 500 merit milestone, just have to reduce the amount (to prevent you going into a relaxation mode) since TMAN has already promised a 50 boost.

Merit wasn't meant to hinder any quality contributors chances of ranking up. Just keep putting in work, you meant even achieve this without needing my assistance.

@CryptopreneurBrainboss thank you I shall try my best to win this challenge, and yes you’re correct about merits as they have effectively compelled users to post more quality posts here.


What we have to do is effort and effort, merit is not an obstacle to move up to the next rank but it is an the reward must/ not be given to those who deserve it based on their efforts and consistency to contribute to the forum.

@BITCOIN4X though your journey is tougher than mine don’t give up, because now that you understand how merit system works I’m sure you’ll be able to rank up too in coming months.

I created this account after the merit system was born for the forum. I am quite aware that this merit system is an attempt to improve the quality of posts from those who want to move up to the next rank.
You are unlucky to reach the rank of Hero Member because the merit system is one step ahead of you, painful but thats the reality.

I have to fight harder than you because I started from 0 merit to reach the rank of hero or 500 merit as you wish.
But calm down, friend, we are on the way to achieving that grade. What we have to do is effort and effort, merit is not an obstacle to move up to the next rank but it is an the reward must/ not be given to those who deserve it based on their efforts and consistency to contribute to the forum.

If Puggy joins my club, it should be the 250+ club rather than the 500+ club. See you there, @Puggy.
Sorry but do you mean Juggy?



You are almost there @Juggy777 You are already assured of +44 before the year ends and that leaves you with only 54 merits left to earn.
@tbct_mt2 is also close.

I am also looking forward to bumping my own thread once I reach the next rank

This your thread has actually done good to your chances of reaching hero member before the end of the year, and even if you don't, you'll be very close to it surely.

 I think users trying to rank up sometimes needs the big boosts of merits(at least above 10), receiving one or two merits would take you a very long time to rank up, and for those who cannot make either threads based on one statistics or the other(eg merits), or those threads that receive merits the most, their journey becomes longer, but the most important thing is the effort to rank up, to help the community, to contribute in your own way, users with this qualities would rank up.

Ok lets make it a round figure, here you go (+3 merits) that's 400 merits. Out of source merit (you got my last 3). Here's a challenge, putting into considering you achieve 470 before the 20-25th of December, you get a 50 30 merit boost from me or any remaining amount you will need to reach the 500 merit milestone, just have to reduce the amount (to prevent you going into a relaxation mode) since TMAN has already promised a 50 boost.

All of my clubs are for earned merits, not total merits. If Juggy777 joins my club, it should be the 250+ club rather than the 500+ club. See you there, @Juggy777.

I'm sorry. In initial post, I remembered about Piggy when mentioned OP.

i'm out of source and S merits now - you got my last, Drop me a PM on the 15th of December when I am topped up and ill drop you 50 more fella.


Gosh..I have been missing all the parties lately?

If getting to 500 merit needs these 50 merit booster doses then I want to apply too. As a qualification, I have been merited by Theymos once..So like a user pointed out, I have already had one of the biggest achievements of my life..LOL.. Surely i should have become a hero by now..

1 month left is 2020. I think if you can reach 100 merit in 1 month this is will be great work.
Just never give up to reach your rank to Hero Member.

The harder you work for something. The greater you'll fell when you achieve it.

Right..Must be such a fantastic feeling to FALL right after you achieve something you have worked so hard for. Cheesy

It will be difficult to reach Hero Member rank before 2020. Unless TMAN, suchmoon or theymos will drop you 50 merits each Cheesy. Anyway, I think it's only matter of time when you will reach your goal. And I believe that it eill happen soon because you're really good poster.
I don't want to repeat myself, but I been in similar situation like you. If merit system would be released week or two later, I would be Legendary now. But being Hero Member doesn't makes difference from Legendary. And I'm Sr. Member according my earned merits. And it would be amazing if I will reach Legendary rank in 2020.
Sure, good users will definitely reach their next ranks, to the top (Legendary) too. The matter is time and the merit-earning rate of each user, the higher rate one has the faster that one will hit next above rank.

For OP, if he manages to earn 2 merits for each 2-weeks period, he will rank up at the end of 2020 (with the 50 promised-merits as support from @TMAN)

Wow thank you so much indeed I’ll drop you a pm on 15th Smiley.



Someone says it impossible to you get 110 merit. Don't believe them.


Thanks a lot yes I always like to focus on positive aspects, and if there’s any worthy criticism I make sure a point to study it and improve on it.

@masulum that would be a dream come true if these members gave me so many merits lol, and even if I could get a single merit from @Theymos I would consider it as one my life’s biggest accomplishment. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to join that elite club, and thank you all for your positive words and inputs.

Someone says it impossible to you get 110 merit. Don't believe them. You can check my merit journey on this post https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.52939455 I got my 116 merit in October only. It's mean you can do that on December before 31. What you need just give your best contribution to this forum and get your rewards.

All of us would really have the kind of target on reaching out a certain rank and it wont really be an easy journey for everyone.There are even high ranking
that didnt even received 1 merit since the implementation of the merit system.Currently you have 382 then finding that 118 would be somewhat hard if you do
try to have that kind of timeframe which you do talk about this year.We are only 1 month to go for an another new year which i can say that it is short to attain those
number of smerits unless if someone would give out bulk 50 directly then you can reach it directly.Good luck!

Maybe Theymos giving you 50 merit, TMAN giving you 50 merit and Suchmoon give you 50 merit too, it's not a joke, you can reach it some day. Remember about 10th anniversary contest, from that, someone can get 200+ merit on their post. Good luck bro.. See you on 500+ club credit: Tranthidung

So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)
I appreciate the fact that you spoke out your mind. It did hurt those who were just inches from being in the next rank when the merit system was started. However I became a self-made senior recently and it took me almost 2years to reach 250 earned merits. It might or might not be possible for you reach Hero by 2020.

So my advice is to focus on posting quality content, engage in discussions. Post where you feel posting is needed not just because you agree to post and dont force yourself to post.

It may take several years to reach the next rank so dont get disheartened.

You are a very old member here and I believe you have gathered a lot of knowledge within this periods. For a member like you, I guess it's easy if you put a little more effort. You can easily chase the required merits for Legendary rank even.
I agree what steamtyme said, don't put any goals of earning merits. Try to help out the forum member through contribution from your gathered knowledge. It will get you the rank easily. Anyway, good luck with your goal. I hope you will make it sooner.
