Thanks for this. I will still update the OP and add more to it. Sorry that I am lazy about this but I just think it can be helpful for newbies and I started with how to use search engines. These are what I still have in mind:

Having some explanations about the forum rules, especially spam and plagiarism.

And more if more comes to my mind or suggested by you people

This thread is excellent. Honestly this topic is quite beneficial, especially for those of us who are newbie to this place and are unsure of where to begin. At least with this simple format's, we will be able to move our leaning ahead.

This is how they want a leader to be. Thank you Mr. Charles-Tim, for showing us love on our local board. How also like it if order leaders use defferences structures format's like yours. It will really gives us new members encouragement and keeps us from getting lost in this forum.

Learning is truly an asset and newbies would always try to learn from the mistakes of others and not waiting to make same similar mistakes.
@charles-Tim, you’re truly a great asset to the local board and I always run out of rewards to appreciate the good works you do in the forum and I must at least commend your selfless services to the local board as well as to the newbies and I must say that the current newbies are already on a better track as the local board is growing more healthier by the day and post like his are what we expect to see more in the forum and local board.

E no go bad if we link up as I go like tap from how mature you present yourself on the forum and it will require some good works except your presence on the local board to know you’re in same local board with me.

I have a questions? what are the things newbies should do to earn more merit, and what is the advantages of merit, also and also what should encourage the newbies to get more post.we are new in the forum so we still need, some guide so that we can meet up with our daily post.

actually I may not be the right person to answer this question but from the little I have learnt from my few time here is that the need to learn from higher members here is very important because it educate you on how to make a quality post and also advise able going through other sections to learn about there posting pattern, after acquiring some knowledge you will see that your level and pattern of posting will change and being more informative as such interesting readers.

Please what is bitcointalk all about.

I noticed that you have created a thread on beginners and help. Read what other posters have posted there. I think we do not need to repeat what has already the posted there. You can read the OP (opening post) in this thread to get some valuable information as well.

Know that Bitcointalk was created by Satoshi Nakamoto, the person or group that created bitcoin. So discussion about bitcoin are valuable on this forum, but you can check the other boards on this forum from the home page, look for boards of interests.

It is a nice topic and the Problem newbies face in the forum is to obey the local and general rules. They are not ready to obey the rules so the forum became difficult for them. A simple instructions and it is ringing every day to every ears to avoid duplication thread and low quality post. And always do not all at least 90 percent to create or discuss cryptocurrency related issues but they divert to other discussion which has nothing to the local board.

For the creation of new topic, before I create a topic even though I didn't use the forum/google search box, I would refreshed the local board page and checked through the first and the second page and if I did not see the particular thread then I create my own. Though I have not seen established members duplicating topics like that, they are rare just few but it is a part of newbies in the forum or local board. So what you have done is a very good job and if the newbies are really ready to learn. For the question the Nigga asked, he has to make quality posts and that is all. Good character also paid in the forum.

Newly added: Staking of bitcoin address

Staking of bitcoin address

As you have already registered on this forum, it is good to stake you bitcoin address. You can do that here: Stake your Bitcoin address here

Staking of your bitcoin address is used to claim the owner of a bitcoin address. It is good to stake it on this forum because if your Bitcointalk account is compromised or hacked, it can be used to recover back your Bitcointalk account.

You can not use an exchange address or a centralized platform address for staking because private key is used to generate the digital signature. You need a noncustodial wallet for it.

Recommended wallets for staking

Bitcoin Core
Electrum (you can not sign a message with bitcoin address on mobile Electrum.
Bluewallet
Sparrow
Specter

What you will stake are:

your bitcoin address
your message (you can write anything you like)
and the digital signature

You can stake your address to prove the ownership of your Bitcointalk account which can be important during Bitcointalk account recovery, borrowing of money, trading and changing of address in a signature campaign.

E no get anything like "daily post", as a newbie wey no even dey campaign, no be must say you go dey steadily make posts, as a newbie reading better pass posting, because the more you read, the more you go dey learn wetin to post from what you read. E get wetin i notice say e dey affect newbies, and the thing is, dem dey rush, dem wan grab everything in a day, no go dey look some users wey still dey new but dem get penty merits, mind you that knowledge dey different and e get people wey dey understand things faster than others.

Having said that, the best way to take get merits na if you get to learn about Bitcoin and the forum too, e go help you to dey make high quality posts, and na posts like that they give merits. The advantage of merit be say you go use am rank up, and as you rank up dey enjoy yourself for forum, you go fit join signature campaign they earn incentives from your contribution to the forum.

Na true, di best way for newbies to take get merits and rank up na to learn about bitcoin, follow forum rules and di most important na to try to focus on making quality posts. Di only thing wey i go fit add from my small experience for di forum na for dem to get patience, because as a newbie or member, you fit to de try make quality posts, but merits no de come like dat. So for me, na just to de continue learning and making quality posts, gradually merits go come, because if new members focus more on merit and e no de forthcoming, na big discouragement be dat.

E go also de good if our senior members go de encourage di low ranked members for our local board with merits from time to time, if dem see quality posts from di upcoming ones. Except for a few members like Oga Brainboss, most ranked up members for dis our Nigeria board no de encourage and support new members with merits. Na my own experience and opinion be dat.

Before I start, I go say make you no just grow for forum and be empty everywhere else or other aspects to the cryptocurrency. Watin you Dey see and talk about, make e sink in you.

When it comes to watin you go do yo earn merit?
E no get any specifics to watin you go do other than to be yourself while being more active and contribute to the forum. That’s because, e no get any specific thing way Dey attract the merit and people Dey merit based on how e Dey there body so, watin sweet for one man eye no fit sure for the next. Do your thing and put yourself inside watin you Dey do.

Advantages of merit na rewarding power and e qualify you or speak for you where you no need to use words defend your quality.

The encouragement should come from people way don pass through your level and that zeal in you to be like them and being curious about how this space/forum works.

I don't think should be your main focused because when you channel your thinking on how to only earn some merits and your didn't earn any it would draw you down and also limits your love for the forum, since it happens that you are focusing to achieve a merits in other for you to go higher to a better rank.
For me I don't start it this way and I was surprised how the merits came, that is to say if you focused on being useful to platform I don't think earning merits will that be to stressful to earn.

Alright thank you for this clear and simple explanation to how best to use the forum search feature to get the right information, indeed this will be very helpful for me going forward since this is not the first time I will be confronted with such situation in my quest to creating a topic here in the forum.

Next time I will search using the parameters your provided to see additional contents that carries similar or same words to that of my intended topic, Thanks once again.

@Wiwo

You created an already existing post an hour later. From the look of the two topic titles, you may not see it on Google maybe because the thread is new and definitely because the titles are not similar.

What to do next time:
It is about exchange maintenance which if someone create such topic, it would likely be today (or less than 2 days ago) because the maintenance started few hours ago. Use the forum search engine instead, 'change it from match all words' to 'match any words'.

The message age should be between 0 to 1 day (or 2 days) for the obvious reason I pointed to already, and check ✔️ only Nigeria and search.

This is what you will see with maybe few other suggestions:

Mate2237 topic is the second while yours is the first. Supposing you have not created the topic, you would have seen Mate2237 topic on top instead.

This applies to topics created not long because the longer the days the topic is created, the greater the inaccuracy and inability to see what you are looking for.

Edit:
Alternatively, you can check the topics created recently on the first page of the local board and you can easily know if similar topic has been created or not.

Plenty of answers don dey provided to this question but I go just add one thing; for you to get merits, you need to first understand say you no dey obliged to make any post as soon as you create your account, but first read and understand the rules of the forum so you no go make mistake. Many newbies in a bid to make their first post and possibly hunt for merit dey make the simple mistake of plagiarism and most times, dey make posts wey person no fit make head and tail out of. So if the plan nah to grow for the forum, e go gud to read, make research and even observe so you fit contribute meaningfully for here.
Keeping to these they help push merits come your way faster.

This is a great thread, I must say. I am just coming across it for now, but I am impressed because it will actually help our newbies and some of us here to keep the board clean and avoid spam.

I don't know if you can do this alone, but in case you need help, I think some of us here can help clarify some of the tasks you outlined.

Moreover, I will add this thread to my watch list in case of any support or solution for newbies and other forum members.

@Charles-Tim Excellent work.

The forum search engine in some time e no dey give what you dey look for so in most time I dey Google search engine and if I dey find someone from Google about the forum I dey use the format, on the google search box, type the following

Code:

Useful information for Nigerian newbies in Bitcointalk.org

and anyone who has written concerning this topic go come out and you go select the one you dey find, although the author name e no dey come out so you go click dem to find the particular one you dey find.

For me, I think the forum search engine can best be used for fine if a thread is already in existence on the forum, why for a broader aspects about how to fine x, y, z about the forum, then Google is a better tool for that, such as; How to post image on Bitcointalk forum & e.t.c

I have used the forum search engine before and I am using Google search engine as well. I prefer Google search engine. If you click on forum search beside home and profile link, the first search engine that it suggested is even Google search, them followed by the forum search.

I prefer to go to google search engine directly and make use of it. But newbies need to be careful and know the risks of using Google search English that can bring up ads which are scam links.

Some people may also prefer to use the forum search which I do not think is bad either. I have used it before and it works good.

Most newbies have no idea about the merit and activity numbers, so I will leave the link below. They must all understand that regardless of merit, you must still reach certain months in order to earn a specific rank. For example, to achieve the required Activity point to obtain the Legendary rank (only those with the required merit), a user must be active for a period of two years.

Simple! You should read more if you want to become more knowledgeable. You are not obligated to post a certain number of times every day, so don't worry about it. However, keep in mind that your Activity point is determined by the total number of posts you have made.

There’s nothing like encouraging newbies to make more posts. Making more post determines on how ready you’re to share or give back to the forum. Note: You don’t need to spam because you want your voice to be heard too, only post meaningful comments that are related to the topic of discussion at that time.

And in addition to what "Asiska02" just said, Newbies just need to understand that posting is not compulsory, and as such they should only post when they have something valuable to say, and not posting with the mindset of meeting a minimum daily target, as there is nothing such as that. And secondly, read more than posting on the forum, and then learn to study how those post who get the most merit are been structured, so as to apply same to gain merits too.

Your contribution to the forum determines how you earn merits. Not just that, but also the person given you the merit must have seen that your post is worthy of been merited before you can get one.

You’re not here for an assignment or a task that’ll require you to meet a quota of post as a newbie. Only post when necessary (to ask questions, share idea) in the forum. As time goes by, you’ll get more enlightened about the forum more depending on your zeal to learn.
