Topic: What thread can earn newcomers merit (Read 427 times)

Those things you mentioned are part of the reason why many people are here today because, assume money is not involve in this platform, I don't think you would have be here wearing signature and avatar to help someone to advertise his or her business. If not that you acquired crypto knowledge, I don't think you would have known how to use BTC and crypto to improve business like the way people are using it as form of payment in their organization.

Don't forget that friends can disappoint some time, but there are some good friends who will look at your quality posts and merits you base on the impact you used that post to educate people in the platform, but do everything possible to ensure you have the knowledge to sustain through out your journey.

This thread look like a kind of separation of a kind because I don't know why someone would be asking what thread for them to earn merit faster when they might not even be posting well in the forum. The first thing I will advise is for them to chill and study the forum for a while so that they can understand how things works here. After that we can start writing something meaningful and getting merits even when we might not worth it.

I’m curious on why you feel discouraged. If you came on here primarily to gain new knowledge about bitcoin, then there’s no reason for you to feel discouraged irrespective of your rank.
But reading through your topic, it doesn’t seem to me like you’re here for the knowledge and that’s why you feel discouraged. Also, no one has a gun to your head forcing you to spend your time on the forum, so having high expectations of a reward perhaps in form of merits is on you.

It’s faster to get merits if you actually take your precious time to learn a thing or two. Members are eager to help newbies in terms of learning and also merits.

I know every beginning is always tough but I will advise you not not to allow the difficulties you come across to let you give up or make you lose focus. You just have to understand that things can be achieved with time and do not fail to learn because it is the knowledge you have that we give you what you want and take to where you want see yourself in the forum. Most people who join the forum in the beginning it was very difficult but they were able to go far because they understands what they want from the forum and they never lose focus.  Instead of allowing the difficult beginning make you lose interest instead learn more to have understanding to tackle difficult challenge.

Take the time to learn, practice and improve your skills before you expect to reach a higher position. Desperation will only lead to despair and despair. Focus on enjoying the journey of learning and growing as a beginner. The key to achieving your goal of joining forums is to take action and read useful threads on different boards, you can increase your knowledge and gain valuable insights that will help you on your journey. There are no shortcuts to success, especially when it comes to reaching the top in any field. With hard work and persistence, you will eventually advance to higher levels. Never give up!

My answer to the title which is "What thread can earn newcomers merit" is all almost all of the thread you are posting as long as your post deserves to be merited. For example, this thread of yours is one of the example where a newcomer can earn merit. Anyway, a newcomer shouldn't focus on earning merit but focusing getting more knowledge especially about privacy and security measures. There are some people who haven't done that and lose some BTC which is a lesson learned for them so, don't let it happen to your self.

You sound angry or not in the mood man. Go easy on him.
From his neutral trust, I want to believe he doesn't have proper orientation because he has been tagged for been a plagiarist, he copied a full page of texts without credit to the original source. He is either introduce to the forum without guide or he perhaps he refused to read between lines. I'm skeptical how he just came to the forum less than a month and he is all over asking for merit threads.

To OP, take the necessary corrections and do as instructed by your fellow users. Add the source link to that post you created and please instead of asking for merit threads, you should be asking where to read forum rules and regulations, it will help you avoid this kind of forum drama and path to avoid future mistakes like this one. Remain blessed.

don't focus so much on merit that you leave out the most important thing to be able to build your account into a good account. you can improve your posts first and make them better, you can create informative and quality threads for other users to read, and you can learn from senior members about how they get merit. if you have done these things, it shouldn't be difficult for you to get merit to help you climb to a better rank. good luck to you.

I don't think there will be unless you show you are here for knowledge and offer something that hasn't been offered before. Most people at the later stages, like newcomers here, are more in with the money and not with the part where they are coming here to learn about Bitcoin or something. It's always connected to something to earn and have in return. It's really hard and it's not going to be effective when you are always aiming for that. I think knowledge would still be the best solution for that.

We're you not told the possible ways you could use to earned merits, haven't you heard of anything related to quality post, how far have you been contributing to the forum, what earn you merit is the quality post you made and how it was being touched by someone who is willing to merit you for that great job, but being a newbie, I will not support you started to hunt around in looking for threads that gives merits when you should focus on earning them by yourself through what you offer to the community.

Take it slow- nothing worth having comes easy, as they say. If you truly want to earn merits, then you should definitely work hard for it.

Remember that the first step is always to know and learn about the fundamentals/basics of cryptocurrencies. You should understand some terms related to it and you should also understand on how it works in the first place. Second, after learning such basics, this comes the part where you start to ask questions. You can also utilize the search bar in this forum in the event that your question had already been answered previously on past threads. Lastly, learning cryptocurrencies is a lifetime venture- you will never get tired of it as your knowledge will expand even more in the near future.

To conclude, enjoy your journey here and take things easy. If everything were easy, then everybody would have done it quickly.

Every new member is active in this forum and post in this forum with some purpose, no one without purpose but don't spend time in this forum. Most of the new members have the same question in their minds that how they will earn merit in their new position. It will be easy for newbies to follow all members who get regular merit through posts. If they carefully monitor their merited posts, new members will understand how their posts are most likely to earn merit and which sections they should post more of. You must create good quality posts on specific topics in specific sections so that the posts are very informative. A new member can definitely earn merit if the post is informative.

For a question that is based on the topic of merit , this actually sounds  like how much $$$ have you earned in terms of money 💲 and not merit itself!!

Btw, If the topic was really about merit nobody would laugh about it but if you tell people the forum is some sort of cashcow that will provide you with free money then I don't think am among those users that say that's the setup of the forum...any incentives that come from BCT are all secondary otherwise the primary goal should be to discuss and share knowledge about cryptocurrencies!!!

And just incase this is about merit, let's just say perseverance does pay and with time you do get noticed and you will be rewarded with merit for positive contribution to the forum.

First of all, I praise the Creator because he has given me the ability to walk well today. I have been able to light up my life a lot with what I have earned here. I used to live very hard life but came to bitcoin forum after being introduced to this bitcoin forum by a friend of mine. After that I was able to qualify and earn through considerable effort here.

OP if you try you will also be able to earn here but you will have to put in a lot of hard work and a lot of time. If you can build enough rank by spending enough time here and earning merit by posting good quality then you will be able to earn here.

As a newbie here, what makes you think you deserve some rewards? If I may ask you, what resources have you contributed to the forum? You donate bitcoin?? That's not even necessary since it's not longer acceptable for now but in what other ways do you think you deserve appreciation? How many spam posts have you reported to help keep the forum clean? How helpful are your posts? These are some of the things that earn you merits in the forum.


Telling people that you joined Forum for what exactly? Asking you how much you have earned is because you told them that forum is a money making platform. When you offer some misinformation, you must answer the unexpected. Your friends are very wise for asking such question when you have nothing to show for it.

Things you need to know henceforth, forum is not a money making platform and there's no need telling people you joined the forum. It's not a referral contest.

the amount of Ponzi scheme in the society has brain washed people to the extent that they believe that if you're not getting paid easily for carrying out a task, it's most likely that you're wasting your Time.

The forum is a practical definition of if you don't work, you will not eat. nothing comes to you when you've not done anything. You get merited when you have proven to have posted something that is deserving of a merit. And this does not require that you post a thousand stuff.  Their is an account I saw with very minimal number of post but he was able to create one that gave him almost 20+ merit. The goal is just to keep contributing positively, their are people that would be lucky to get it a bit easy while for others, it might take time but just keep going and in no time, you will attain your desired height.

All i can see from this thread is spam and low input text, and this thread is not worthy of any discussion since it lacks any form of an intellectual element that can help this discussion to gain anyone unless the ops who may not even likely get any good response at the end due to his misconceptions about this forum and that lead me to conclude by asking the ops some questions such as.

: who told you that this forum is a business place or some form of working space where you make income from?

: who told you that, coming online and becoming a member is an investment that you need to get rewards for?

: Do you value knowledge, if yes then how do you measure the level of knowledge you have gained so far and how can you show us that you indeed gain knowledge through your interaction with this forum and its members?

I empathize with you on what you're saying, most of us went through that stage of expecting our posts to be given merit when we feel that we've really put efforts to make quality posts, but the system doesn't really work that way, you'd have have to be consistent with quality posts and eventually the merit will start to come. However seeing that you're still new in the forum, merit should not be your main focus for now, you should rather concentrate on increasing your cryptocurrency knowledge, with time members will be rewarding your quality posts with merit. It's true that the merit system can not be said that it's fair, because despite the quality of your posts, if no member merits you, there's nothing you can do about it, if you quit it won't affect their campaign earnings. So it's best that you don't worry about getting merit now and try to learn and flow with the discussions

Merit: I'm not sure why, but a lot of newbies these days are focused on how to obtain merits. It's normal to wonder how to get merits because everyone wants to move up the ranks and participate in activities on the forum. Getting merit is easy; all you need to do is first understand the forum. As students, you are aware that no matter how well you write an exam, you will not receive a good grade if you do not read and comprehend the material covered in class. Let's use this as an example of how to earn merits: you must be aware of the forum in order to contribute to posts or make insightful remarks in order to earn merits.

It is not necessary for you to pursue merit in this forum; instead, you should make sure that you are the one merit pursuing; your posts and your behaviour in the forum are the only ways to earn merit. Finally, as you have already mentioned, patience is the key to achieving your goals; many people have joined the forum only to leave because they lack the patience to stay here and did not see the forum as they had anticipated.

discussions have already ended on the 17th, and earning merit points is not only related to creating high-quality posts, but sometimes also to being useful and helping others. Merit does not require that you pursue it as much as you are helpful to others and search for new information.

Op Dont be discouraged , a journey of hundred miles starts with one step ,merit will come At the right time but try And understand the forum rules And regulations , learn How To contribute To post And as well  learn How To make quality post .I have Read some of the post made My High ranked members since I joined the forum And I understood that they earn their merits as a result of their quality post And reasonable contributions ,So earning merits here is actually based on the quality nature of your post .

Just answer it with nothing LOL.
Right now with your current rank, you will not earn anything aside from some useless tokens coming from bounty campaigns (altcoins). Money-wise it will be hard for you to earn still, and just tell the truth to them. Why choose to be silent?

Do you not consider "knowledge" as a reward? Tell me about another forum that gives lots of knowledge like this forum. Take note that it's free. What reward are you saying? Oh, it's money. You already said that it's really hard at the beginning. It's the same as applying for a job. If you are inexperienced and don't have any knowledge at all, it will be hard for you at first, but over time as you learn more and more, it will be easier to apply and get a job. You said that newbies need to be patient, and they need to. The problem nowadays is that people don't have the patience to wait for something, and they want the rewards to be instant. Like what's happening to the world already.

Just do your sh*t here in the forum, and don't let negative thoughts interfere you. If you're here to learn then focus on it. If you're here to earn then focus on it as well. I mean you can do both though.

Merit is subjective you can get a merit for providing information, affirming a given answer, or just providing a discussion, there is no one rule and there are no rules for merits, it's a form of appreciation or validation, you just do what others here are doing by participating in a discussion and just make the information you provided valid and up to date.
Make your post unique and based on your knowledge that it's right and up to date do not provide information that you will just copy outside of this forum and make it your own opinion, many newbies fall to this mistake, in trying to impress others they violated the rule of plagiarism

And to add here, I noticed when you created a thread in the scam accusations board with very valid proofs,
such as a new project having signs of potentially scamming their investors like fake profiles, fake address,
and other solid proofs that they are heading to screw people. The creator thread usually earns merit for exposing such fraud.
And in terms of earning merit, if you will chase earning one, you may get disappointed.
Just continue doing your work, be sincere about it, but don't expect someone will give you merit. It will come unexpectedly.
Remember, most merit sources are not active in giving merits.

There's a problem somewhere and that problem is that you do not know your purpose in this group. If I may ask, is you purpose here to earn merits? Secondly, people asking you how much merits you have earned do not also know their purpose here. Merits can be earned by crooks but that cannot be said about knowledge. If you look around, you will discover that there are some merit give away threads but there's no knowledge give away threads. In terms of earnings, there are three things you can earn;

• First you earn knowledge
• Your earned knowledge will help you make quality posts to earn merits  
• Your earned merits will enable you join signature campaign to earn bitcoin  

Threads were something substantial is discussed and not a random thread like "I love Elon musk". There are also give away threads like that of fillippone if it's what you are asking about.

You're right and this is why I'm never in the mood to applaud any newbie account I see gathering merit because I summarily conclude  that it's an alt of a highly ranked account. Not as if it's any offence to the best of my perspicacity but applauding them is already a waste of such encouragement.

Going forward, I advise genuine newbies to just be themselves and post without earning merit in mind and merit will trickle in from time to time. Again, they can utilize the available threads created to help users who are active and constructive in their posts rank up. Such threads are now ubiquitous here this day.

Being patient without trying will never give you any results. Start taking action by increasing your knowledge from useful threads pinned on several boards. There are lots of insights you can gain after reading threads that can help you achieve your goal of joining the forum.
To get through the initial stages according to what you want, you have to go through each process perfectly. There are steps that you must learn to achieve a level of success, but if your goal is only to get merit, you will feel disappointed when you cannot get it.

What is your question actually asking? Is that how much merit you get or how much money you have earned on this forum? lol  regarding the title of your topic, actually in all threads you have the potential to get it, it's just that the quality of your posts is often the benchmark, so try exploring the WO thread, maybe you can get some merit there because there are quite a lot of merit circulating in there, but remember you should never offend the senior members there.

Your most recent posts are just copy and pasted from online articles without even giving credit to the original source. Many of your other posts are generic one liners. If you want to acquire merit as a newbie you should first get familiar with how the forum works. Such low effort posts will not be helpful in ranking up and you will be considered a spammer if it becomes excessive.

You joined the forum ten days ago. Tell those people who ask you "how much have you earned" to fuck off!

No kidding. They are being rude and disrespectful. You dont owe them any explanation about your financial situation. So, next time someone questions your earnings, you could say its personal or that youd rather not discuss it and  there are polite ways to handle nosy questions.

OP, if I may ask what have you contributed so far to this forum for now, merit is a reward to your quality post that solves many users problem or teaches the readers new ideas, as a newbie, I think what you should be doing now is to know more things about this place, don't be faster than your shadow, one step at a time, with what you said it seems you are here for just merit and money which is not the major purpose for the creation of this forum, you have to engage yourself in meaningful conversations here in other to be part of this great forum.
OP, you just started your journey with a wrong approach which is not good for your growth, the forum is open for you to learn, there are many boards here, you must not write when you know nothing, do more of reading than writing as a newbie, so that when you start writing you will give the best to this community, op if you must succeed in this community you have to retrace your step and chase the knowledge which is the major reason why this place exist.

Did you come here to make money or to gain knowledge and make friends? Having contact with incredible and super talented people is the best part here, no money in the world can buy that.

Yes the beginners stage is not easy but that does not mean that you need to be desperate about getting to the higher ranks without any effort. There is no shortcut her Incase you are looking for a way to get to an higher rank without any input in the forum.
The forum is big enough for everyone to grow but one of the mistakes we might be making is doing the wrong thing. You need to write good posts for you to get merits and if you don't do that, you might end up with the wrong perspectives.

Everyone here has their own expertise and strengths, that's the point, whatever you know about forums and crypto will show, that you have something that other people don't have, so there's no point in remaining silent without showing the advantages that you have here.

Remember that merit comes by itself, as long as you give your best to the community here, show something that you have, you will see something amazing that you have never seen, don't hide something that you have, show it.

The OP is in a hurry and unfortunately did not read all the forum rules, and now he has several cases of plagiarism in his history, and as a result, the account should be banned.
But now the holidays are starting, and perhaps the first days of the OP’s mistakes will be pardoned.
OP, if you are lucky, you must accept that rushing and writing only out of a desire to earn something without understanding the topic is exposing your account to thorough verification. You need to learn to respect the laws of the forum and get used to the fact that if you manage to deceive the forum once, then your deception will come out later, like everything bad and bad-smelling comes out.
Conclude.

It is true that beginners face difficulties in obtaining merit, but their eraning merits are constantly growing, while alternative accounts know how to collect merit points quickly, and when they reach their goal, the spoilers begin, so if you really want to learn, you will gain merits slowly, but it will be sustainable.

Dear mate, "Forum is an ocean of knowledge," which you will not only see as a source of earning money but also find solutions to many problems in our worldly lives through various board discussions.

 And you know, experience is a great teacher that builds us up over time.

So give yourself enough time in the community without running after merit.
Because this place seems like a well of knowledge to me.Just as we have to go to the well to drink fresh water knowing the depth of the well, similarly, we have to patiently learn from the forum to get good things in life. And I believe that given enough time, the forum will never turn anyone away empty-handed.

So run after knowledge and not merit, and one day you will see that this knowledge will bring you merit.

Will compile some threads that can possibly help you to earn merits

Hugeblack thread post on local boards which didn't receive a merit https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/merit-help-posts-in-local-boards-that-did-not-receive-enough-merits-5465195
Fillippone thread share your best post to earn merit https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/merit-share-your-best-poststhreads-with-fillippone-to-be-merit-assessed-5412657
Bitcoingirl.club Thread post your PGP key then earn merit https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/receive-merit-post-your-pgp-key-add-an-encrypted-message-open-for-anyone-5461523

All credits for this reputable users to have this threads since this can really help newbie to get their first merit or at least have some.

Go on that threads if you are really hunting for merits and just present the best post you have so that they can clearly verify that you deserve to get a merit.

Also extend a lot of effort to search for new ideas or helpful things that you can share here since maybe for that post there are people would give some merits because they find your thread or post very helpful to the community.

Lastly share your merits to anyone and don't let it decay since by sending merits can caught up some attention to people that you are generous and then they might give back what you give to them.

Dont be pressured. Merits arent gonna come if you push to get that and make unnecessary post that could lead to a spam or low quality post. Well the volume of topics to be created are actually full due to a lots of topics has been discussed already. Anyways more people cna focus on response instead creating new topics. Show them your idea and contribute a good answer. Apparently merits will be on your way the least you expect it.

Here is the problem I have with your thread Jenwi.
It begins with a question about how to earn merits. However, the opening post discusses how you told some friends about Bitcointalk, who then asked you how much you earned. Now, I seriously doubt they would be interested in knowing how many merits you earned. Why would that particular stat interest them? It has no value whatsoever outside of this forum, and those who aren't part of Bitcointalk wouldn't care about what happens with it. They probably asked you how much money, aka, bitcoin you earned, didn't they?

To answer the question you asked in your title, there isn't one specific type of posts/threads that earn people merits. There is a whole list of things you can do. No matter how you look at it, you will have to be willing to invest time and/or knowledge to get it right. Unless people can see from your posts that you know what you are talking about and that you spent time articulating your thoughts properly, they will rarely merit you.

My tip, begin reading and learning about bitcoin, which should be the reason you are here. After that, start browsing the forum and participate in the discussions with other people in a natural and honest way.

When you have made yourself familiar with the forum and its different boards, you will notice that there are people who create threads with various stats. They get merits. Some other folks hunt for scammers, and they also receive merits. Other people create detailed tutorials or report on the most important news and developments relating to Bitcoin. They get merited by people who find those posts pleasant to read. You can even get merits for being funny.

You have to find your own way. That's how you will succeed in what you want. We can't tell you what do to except open your eyes, look around, and find what you like.     

Merit & new rank requirements.

Merit comes to your good posts and you only need to have good posts, merit will come. If you don't have good posts, finding any thread to earn merit is useless. A
You don't have to beg for merit.

self-moderated] Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source
[Merit] Share your best posts/threads with Fillippone to be merit assessed

OP, wanting to earn merit is not a bad thing cos I believe everyone wants it, merit shows how much of a value you have been to the forum. So wanting to earn merit means you have contributed to the forum and before any contributions you must first of all desire to learn and get good knowledge about Bitcoin and this forum.

Your thoughts now should not be on haunting for merits try to read and learn, ask questions and make replies where you have good knowledge on. The more you dedicate your self to learn and to this forum, then you can be able to earn merit and get ranked becoming a reputable member of this forum

OP, I was thinking that the title of your topic should have been, "What kinds of topics earn a newbie merit?" The answer would have been that you earn merit for only reasonable and educational topics you create. Although the answer to the question you have asked is still simple, the threads that can earn you merit are the ones you don't expect.

Do not put your mind to earning merit alone; otherwise, you might get bored of trying. Think of ways you can positively contribute, share new ideas, learn from others, and share your thoughts too. If your ideas are good enough on the thread you drop them, then you will be merited.

I would like to clear that we enter this forum not to maximize earning merits but to learn a lot from the forum. Therefore, we should not jump into earning merits because it will definitely be hard if you chase it without adequate knowledge and learning experience. But, enjoy being a newbie while you are still in the process of learning. Your merits will come later on when others would think your posts have already improved and are now high quality posts.

Oh here goes another one thread on merits again and I wonder how many more we will see here alone in B&H section only about this within a few days.It seems to me all these newbies accounts are linked asking the same old thing which can be easily understood if they check out the pinned threads.

Please stop making such threads and enhance your knowledge first of all.They all have in mind they can earn with merits but read properly first of all and then you will understand how things work here.

What the heck's wrong with you?? Okay.. you wanna pretend you didn't know we've got threads that can possibly earn you a few merits on application? If no, then what's your subject topic saying?.. tchhh

---

secondly, I don't even think you know what merit is, and with that, I don't even think you read your way through the forum properly..... Did anyone ever tell you that merit is been put in your local accounts and you withdraw them like money?? Then what's this story you're telling us?
LISTEN TO ME; next time, if you wanna ask questions about how you could earn some few bucks in here, be plain.. else you're just gonna make everyone assume you as a shitty-head poster..._{and that's what you look like to me.}

Op I would like to know, Are you here because you want to earn merit or you are here because you want to learn things about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency and its investment?. However, I will advise you as a newbie to the forum, don't be too rushed for merit ,learn, contribute and do the needful, I assure you that merit will definitely come your way when members of the community have found your quality contributions to the community through your post.

Your account was registered in the forum on the 5th of December this year, so by right you should be more focused on learning about the forum, Bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency space unless you already have these knowledge before joining the forum. If that be the case, earning merits should not be a big deal for you because you would be able to contribute meaningfully in discussions across the forum.

Furthermore, there is no thread dedicated for earning merits because merit is awarded to comments deserving it irrespective of the board and thread. Many people earned most of their merits even in this beginner's board; you just have to study what those highly merited individuals are doing and you will be earning merits effortlessly.

Finally, as a simple advice, if all you think about is how to earn merits from the forum, you will never enjoy the forum and it will not take long before you become frustrated and consider disappearing. The best is always to feel at home, be yourself and enjoy the forum and all the available resources. You can earn free money in the games and rounds section if you are eager to earn money. You can also join promotional games of some projects in the same gambling board. There is so much you can do in the forum... just feel free to explore the forum.

The reward is the knowledge you get about Bitcoin and related topics, that is, after-all, the purpose of the forum.

They have a limited view of how forums and interactions works if they expect everyone should earn when they join.
What you earn from discussions is knowledge, every-other thing you get from a forum is secondary.

If there was any thread that gets one merit, it will be abused and eventually turn to spam.

We all know the beginning stage is not easy as a newcomer needs to be patient. Atleast he or she should be getting no matter how little some reward for their resources in terms of time and materials.
I joined the forum and all I told some people around me about it, the next question is," how much have u earned", I was absolutely discourage as I remained mute till date.
