Topic: What a heroic act should i do to get 100 merits (Read 679 times)

Heroic, jeez, get a life! We're here just to learn about bitcoin, take it easy. Despite some ranks are called Hero and Legendary, this is just ranks. They are all humans, maybe Satoshi himself is the only real hero here.

Yes the merits is hard to get in other member of the forum. They choosing a helpful post to be given a merit. How about the newbie?they dont have enough knowledge to share the other members with a question.

You could be a functioning member of society instead of leeching off of the government like many Americans. Think of earning merit like getting up and going to work. Instead of staying home, getting welfare, section 8, and food stamps and than complaining that society is keeping you from working


If you work hard, or Post quality posts than you will move up in this world. If you keep on bitching about the white man keeping you down, or shit posting about not having any merit you ain't going anywhere

Yes hunting for merits is very hard. Some for the users dont have enough knowledge to share and other keep using shit posting to get some merit. They dont know that it will cause for a banned so just read some more information and share this for others not for just circulating for one topic just explore this forum and collect some knowledge.

You might get some red as far as i know this pussy have his own rules in this forum,hence he should be respected if you dont want your precious accounts to receive red tags.You might want to kiss his ass,if you want some good feedback in your account look at his account full of green trust but the trust is ,he is not helping this forum.

Bonus merits if everything is spelled correctly.

Now this I would absolutely love to see, but I don't want any of us to get blamed for suborning disorderly conduct.  If, however, someone were to do this on their own, without the promise that they'd receive merit from me, I absolutely, positively, very willingly, MIGHT hand out some merits--if I had them to give.  Right now I only have one, and perhaps I might start saving them up for such an occasion.  Heh.

There is no heroic act you can do for 100 merits.

But you can write a shitty post and get 50merits. There is a lot of topics with a title " was this post worth 50 merits?" and I see photo with a post from bounty campaign, twitter links awarded with 50 merits.

Ok, somebody tells that those members already got red trust and merits are reversed but abuse is obvious and scammers already mastered how to be safe with merit trading.

I got few messages on Telegram because I have the same username and they are looking for new accounts and offer to buy merits for 5$ per 1merit. This is just insane. How to deal with that, where are fair chances and all because of merits system.

I don't want to talk bad about merit system because this is still very soon but I have to be honest with myself and I cant say that I am a fan of this system, how this actually works and did with BitcoinTalk.                                                                      

This is a good thing for the older members and bitcointalk community. To prevent new comers with low quality posts. Since they discovered bounty programs many are coming here only to rank up fast and get as many rewards as possible. Now it's harder for them. New members who are here for bitcointalk forum and not for the bounty, will likely stay. Those who are here only for the money will make it harder. Bitcoin community and early members are rewarded. There are some abusers who were lucky enough to rank just before this new ranking sistem. But hey, you must start somewhere and protect your community.

Asking those questions about how to get 100 merits can show that this is your focus, your goal. Someone who is here only for bitcointalk forum doesn't care about merits. Ok, maybe a little bit, but it won't open new topic asking how to get some huge amount. You can talk here without that.
If you  know what i mean...

We need a new board - you could call it ' Talk Merit '

The hunt of merit points is increasingly becoming frustrating, almost 4 months in are we are still talking and seeing new threads revolving around the same topic? In an attempt to curb out shit posting, it looks like a new monster has been created spam threads (although it has always existed), but now it is more fervent all in the name of merit points *slaps forehead*.

Why he need to suicide mate. There are DTs getting merits for the one liner appreciation posts and else. Why not normal forumers cannot get the merit like that. I see the people who make the statistical data information various important sections.
They are getting merits like 50 and above for the simple news wormed post on here.
If you want to get the merits make the statistical new thread or assist some needs the help.

to be honest I'm not the qualified one to say this based on my merit. just by looking at your recent post comparing it to other who had high merits is the intent. your intention/interest is to give your opinion on the subject and not helpful by any means. While most merited people here even in low rank is to "help" just look the profile of bitperson/DdmrDdmr majority of his merited post is helpful. I won't say constructive thus it's subjective. the best way is to change your intent when posting, try to help others or make your post useful or informative.

for 100 merit you would have to do an evil suicide attack on bitcoins evil competitors and the lobby groups behind them  

Bullshit. I have received 80 merits in less than three months, and I don’t even know much about bitcoin - I’m mostly lurking.

To the OP, please check out https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats for examples of merit-worthy posts.

As of 13/04/2018, 131.060 sMerits had been awarded to 13.807 users since Merit System kick-off. So nearly 14k users have been good enough (let’s say) to get at least 1 sMerit, with an average on 10 sMerits per user in this interval of time.
What that comes to say is that a fair amount of people have received sMerit, and those that manage to become part of the merited users normally keep on getting them. We could discuss if the pace is slow or not, but it is not limited to just a few.
As a side note, the overall amount of users in the Forum is not the contrast reference for the above data, since there is an extremely large amount of inactive accounts for multiple reasons. Active users trying to gain sMerit through their regular posts (be it as a primary ambition or la secondary bonus effect) are way smaller.

Currently, we can’t get an exact count on those figures, since the initial airdrop of sMerit is not yet public (theymos has stated that it may be released in the near future, so when that happens I’m sure someone will bring fresh food to the table).
Regardless, a good approximation is the Merit Pipeline. If we focus on those with 80% or higher amount of the amount of merit to rank up in this time, then yes, numbers are rather measly. But that is the side effect of implementing the system: It slows things down, and very few have a fast track pass to moving on at lightning speed (ok, activity speed), though many are somewhere on the path.
Does that stand as an adequate leverage against the benefits is should be bringing? Everyone will have an opinion on the answer to that, but I guess board managers are the ones who know best and will monitor and tweak the situation.


In my opinion, de-ranking people would not constitute an overall advance. Rank is really a status indicating how much of a veteran you are on the Forum, so making people “younger” by de-ranking then will be rather confusing and pointless (unless performed upon flesh and blood). If you’re talking about stepping-up Merit to a different level, and making it more important than rank (for signature campaigns let's say), well that would be a different story with many catches to it. One step a time though ..

Catch the WITCH, and maybe someone will give you not just a hundred. 

You must have a lot of heroic post. For my opinion, people acting like a police man caughting other people that they say having merit abuse. Or some people giving information that everyone can know like, trusted managers, merit exchanges and "quality post" that are copy paste from the internet oftenly have some merit.

No that's not what I meant. I honour people that contribute to the forum and I enjoy reading it if it is real quality post. I consider DdmrDdmr's post as a quality one that deserves Merits.
All I would like to see is that it should be possible to send a fraction of sMerits like 0.1 or something like that to honour good posts that aren't superb ones.
You know what I mean? it's not like 1 or 0, all or nothing, good or meh. Very few are even able to judge whether it is a good or not a good post.
Same goes to any cryptocurrency, it can't fall back to zero unless volume drops to 0 forever or you delete that blockchain which would be the same as deleting a good post and remove the Merits from it.

Ok Op.. for 50 merits your challenge is..,

Write I will suck cock for merits on your chest and back in pink lipstick, then write Pharmacist on one leg and Lauda on the other, just over your naval in the style of Tupac's thug life tattoo I want you to write Dazed fool. that's part one.

Part two is to get one of your pajeet buddies to film you walking around a major city shirtless wearing shorts and saying that you will suck cock for merits. Video needs to be 23 minutes long, we will also need some ID verification, I suggest you sending a PM to a DT member of you holding your ID with your face showing.

Would you accept my challenge?

Let me counter ask you. Is it fair for people who have quality and do a great contribution to get same merit with many normal people here? If most people give merit to single person, then that person is the standard. Please look at that member's meritted post and compare it to yours. The fact that some of posts didnt get merit is because the posts are not great or there are greater posts than that posts.

Ranking is slow now? So? Did this forum have the obligation to make you a legendary member to get a better payment in sig?
