I will answer for your question with a psychological way:
Well, everything is in your mind, So If you use it intelligently you will succeed, else, you will fail to achieve your goals.

Your mind does not differentiate between negative and positive thoughts, it just executes what you think and It accepts any message from you.
I will simplify my idea by an example as the following:

When you send a message to your mind and you tell him "The merit system is not working with me, and I cannot get any merit point "
Then your mind will execute this message or command in reality. And you will not be able to get any merit point.

"Your mind is a powerful thing. When you fill it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change."

The best thing to do is have a strategy. You really don’t want to miss out on cryptocurrency and block-chain technology. It’s not really about investing in coins. It’s more so do you believe that cryptocurrency and block-chain are the future.

I believe it’s the future! So for the next 3 years I will invest heavily into cryptocurrency and the technology behind it and also learn, learn, learn more about it. I will then wait to see how things are shaping out after 3 years. If cryptocurrency is not moving the way I truly believe it will move (to the moon), then I will move on to more traditional assets and investments but at least I am still in the cryptocurrency game.

So my advice is at least get in the game with a couple hundred bucks or grand. I am starting with 3k and won’t miss it a lick. I mean the risk is worth it to me. I really am big on cryptocurrency and the technology behind it. It’s like falling in love with the invent of computers back in 1960 or something. So don’t be scared to invest.

Put some money in, leave it and just see what happens because the upside is to promising. Don’t be that person that knew about cryptocurrency but never invested in it, please don’t! Life will be Hell and simply miserable for you, sorry. I’d rather throw a couple hundred dollars away now into cryptocurrency and it not work out as suppose to knowing a $300 investment today could have netted me $1 million R.O.I (return on investment)in the near future. As for me, I’m all the way in!

What about to ask question in a different way: Why is it hard to post quality posts?
It's also another task what's quality post for others. For me it usually comes from mining sections. This is place where people ask and get helps on how to build mining rigs, mod bios and etc. Also can say the same about Bitcoin Technical support section + their moderator is amazing too.
If you see, those people don't have merits....

I find it difficult or difficult to get Merit very depends on existing regulations as Merit.

Right, I've still got some merits to award, so I'll spend 10 minutes to see who I can find that I think deserves it. I've just looked at the beginners board, and I didn't open any threads, this was because of one or more reasons. The title didn't appeal to me. The Op was on my ignore list, so the thread is greyed out, The thread was too long and I'd read it before. The thread was about a topic that I didn't feel qualified to comment on.

I'm off to the serious discussion and Ivory tower to see what's there. - no updates on those boards since my last visit.

Now for the frog pond.
I gave this guy a merit - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.32136158
The product is mildly interesting, but may not be practical, but I think it is useful for us to know how the commercial world is embracing cryptocurrencies.

Nothing on any of the other boards that I looked at. I'll have another go later, so get posting with those great topics.

Some hard, some easily get merit. We all don't know who will in love or attracted to one's good post to give it merit. But we all know that merit is active.

Why dont you stop visiting this forum? I know its not possible for you to do that since "shitposting on bitcointalk" is a daily quota allotment for you now. You are addicted to this forum - face it Pajeet. You need to get a life and get a job, fast. Oh wait, you obviously cant, thats why you shitposters are in this forum.

There is a limited number of merits to go around, and nearly all merits are actually distributed to people making threads in the meta section. Rather than actually rewarding people for producing engaging or useful content. The fact is that older members are more established, and are hence bigger targets for merit than newer members, this is simply the mechanisms of a community, the newbies get it the worst. Over time you'll start gaining more merit as you become more recognized around here, and as you start catching the eye of merit sources.

At times, our posts get omitted when someone replies to the same thread followed by us. What happens here is, when I read the thread, I get a reply and get into the last page, read the latest posts made and in a hurry I do make post which comes out of my mind. So concentrating on my work at times skips meriting the quality posts. The other reason would be, less number of smerits. When I wish to give smerit to a quality post I come across, my smerit bucket is empty. Then obviously the quality post misses my merit. These are few reasons.

So it was implied that it would be difficult to get merit. It has been said hundreds of times that the new system is designed to weed out spammers and amators who do not learn anything, but just want to raise their rank. Write quality posts, try, do your best, don`t focus on getting merit, but just contribute to the development of the forum.

It is very hard to earn merits because this system is not born for this kind of website (I mean forum) but for social like facebook, instagram etc.
It is not natural for people to grant or congratulate with others for "good posts", moreover the option is not in a very easy position to be found, so many persons do not know of the existence of this feature at all.

Said that, I think also there are some other problems related to this kind of system:

Number of merit available to be shared: the number of merit that people can share with others is very low considering the amount of merit necessary to rank up in level. This means people need a lot of merits to rank up (despite of good posts), making it impossible.
Number of merits necessary to be reached to rank up: the number of merits necessary to rank up, in particular for high ranks is very high. Try to imagine how many merits someone needs to receive from others to become an Hero member or also a legendary.

I think the admin should try to review the merit system based on those feedbacks and try to see if they can improve the system in order to let people becoming familiar with this feature, starting to share merits to people that deserve them.

"It is not natural for people to grant or congratulate with others for "good posts" " What do you mean? There are many websites that are based like that, reddit, 9gag, funnyjunk,etc... So it's nothing new, tho I agree that's it's a little hidden but people just aren't that used to it yet.

1. That's why we have merit sources and did you expect to rank up in a month or two?

2. Not quite true, that all depends on you.

It's good, people are just expecting to be ranking up faster than usual.

If it's easy to earn merits, then the main objective of why this system is made, fail. Why it is hard? This is to prevent other users to continuously create a spam posts and to encourage user to create constructive posts as possible. There are already threads that you could care to drop by that already explain how do this system will work. As said also anyone could be a merit source if and only they met a certain requirements given that it would be the readers intuition if they find your post/s informative, constructive, and/or humurous then it will be rewarded with a merit. Though, don't expect that everybody will agree or love what you post/s.

The number of merits required to get membership upgrade increases as your membership grade increases which has the tendency to make higher members a bit more reluctant in giving out merits cos they need it also.

You need to reread the posts about the merit system. You need merit to remove the block on ranking up. The merits you earn stay with you, and you can't give them away. sMerit is the merit you can award, and if you give away all of your sMerit, it has no effect on your ranking potential, or the quantity of merit you have been awarded.

I agree that number of posts alone should not be the basis for upgrade of membership but quality of posts, thats why the merit system was introduced, which is good. but i also agree the merit system is flawed and could be improved upon. The number of merits required to get membership upgrade increases as your membership grade increases which has the tendency to make higher members a bit more reluctant in giving out merits cos they need it also. I would rather prefer an upvote system where everyone is required to upvote comments after a particular number of comments is reached before they can comment and your upvotes helps in your upgrade.

Yes it is true, i understand each and everyone in the forum is having a hard time of earning merits, and it is hard to realize how and what’s the basis of earning merits, and i think every member is of the same sentiments. Everyone tried his best to make a constructive post as much as possible. I hope someday the merit system will be reform or be removed, because there will be no more chance of ranking up if merit system is still active, but on the other hand, i respect and obey whatever rules being implemented, it’s just an opinion if being heard😊

The one to consider if a certain post is good enough for a merit is the one who will give awaybthe merit itself. We can say our post is good but not for others. However I agree that it's quite hard to gain merit, but that's how the new system goes and we can do nothing but just to go with it.

Fuck it, I gave you a merit, OP. Your thread here is a duplicate of probably 2 dozen of the same bitch threads about merit, but your English is obviously good--and in my book that counts for a lot. I have not checked your posting history, so I hope the merit I gave you isn't being wasted on a shitposter. But eh, it's only 1 merit.

I, like probably a lot of other higher-ranked members, am running low on sMerits so it's becoming harder as time goes on to earn them--I'm not sure how many merits the official merit sources are giving out, but my opinion is that there probably need to be more merit sources. I've tried to give merits to lower-ranked members more often than, say, legendaries, but I just tend to like what people who have been here longer have to say. And the signal:noise ratio is extremely low on this forum, and that's mostly due to noobs and noob alt accounts.

I don't think that's long enough....

I've been here nearly 6 months and before the merit system started (and I saw the word merit under my name)

I had:

- never been to the META section
- never known who Hal Finney was
- not known what a signature campaign was
- not known there was a consolidated thread that newbies should read
- never realized that those stupid one liners ("the dev will post the new btc because") were because of people ranking up for money (now I turn them in, kind of fun)
- knew the origin of HODL (I always thought it was a typo)
- never tried to research something
- never know there was a thread for full members and above (Ivory Tower, its really cool, wait till you get there, Wink

)
- and a whole lot more that I can't remember

So... sit back, read more, and don't worry about merits (at the pace that I earn merits it will be 4.9 years until I make Legendary, but who cares, I don't need the signature money)

But before I registered, I only use the forum for read-only feature offered for non-member. In my opinion, merit system was a necessary measure to end the spamming problem.

If you think it's counterintuitive you haven't been on this forum long enough.

It's hard to earn merit because:

It's hard to provide detailed, knowledgeable, appropriate, and interesting content (if it were easier this forum wouldn't have needed the merit system to combat the shit posting)
It's hard because people who are Merit Sources don't read every corner of this forum

If you have good content in your posts, and I mean really good (not just a correct answer to some easy question), you need to go to where the Merit Sources are so your good content posts can be read, considered, and merited.

Think. Think. No, seriously...think...and you will find a way.

I have seen your profile and the date when you registered, its almost same as mine, the fact that I was only ahead of you with 13 days gap and currently active. How come that you didn't receive enough but I did? The answer lies on yourself buddy. It's not that hard to earn Merit if you can just understand how to earn it in a positive way. Try observing your posts and compare it to the others, observe and know what you are lacking. If you have some time to make a useless posts then why don't you give a try on giving some time to read and understand some threads here.
As you can see all about you need to know here in the community has been given an answer. So you don't have to waste your time on making a thread that has been created already like this.

I hate it to see some of my fellow newbies keeps on spamming and even don't give a piece of shit on reading the informative threads and also the RULES. PLEASE LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES. Angry

I dont really get the reason why still people are greedy about merit, merit is just there it will never be gone so dont rush yourself, all of us has the same problem but I think complaining about the system is enough maybe its better to share an idea to improve the system.

I have looked in to your post, and it is only 2 pages, and some of them are just copy paste posts. You even copy paste this OP into another board in the forum and @leonair already mentioned because you always expect merits from your posts.

If there is a new system applied, whether it is on forum, game, or real-life, the best thing to do is to make yourself qualified enough if you want to get the most out of the system, not by against it. So with this merit, do yourself have enough quality to be accepted by merit system, or by people who can give merits? Ask this question first to yourself, the best answer for you is no because if you say yes, i dont know how you measure yourself upon something.
You are here only for 2 months and there are not many posts you have made and some of them only a copy paste, and you think you are qualified enough for merits?. Narcissistic?

If you love steemit just remain there. We already have a lot of people competing here for the merit points.

I am not an expert with steemit but I guess it also rewards users based on the followers and the engagement the posts get there.

It is not that hard to earn merit points especially the 10 merit points to become a member. You are still new and you have a lot to learn here. Spend more time reading the posts here and see what type of posts are getting merited frequently.

You can say that I am lucky that I reached Sr. Member rank before this merit system was implemented but it will not help you to get empathy from me or other high ranking forum members. I feel your frustration but I think you look merit system as a hindrance because you are in a Signature Campaign or maybe not.

By the way you are posting the same content to different sections in this forum(I hope you'll not get ban one of this days).

Well I'm not doing too well on Steemit, but I'm fairly new to the site. So far I haven't received any rewards, and I feel this may be because I haven't paid for any of the upranking services. We don't have paid upranking bots here, so merits have to be earned on ability.

It should be hard to earn merits. If it wasn't it would defeat the purpose of it.

Look I have been on here long enough to know how certain things work.

Two months?

Another question??? Who the heck determines what good content is. I provide a lot of insight and I have written some good post here but I never get a merit.

The people with merit to give. If they spot a post they like for whatever reason they may reward it. Keep posting quality content and the chances of this increase.

My question is why is it so hard to earn merits on bitcointalk.org. Sounds pretty counter-intuitive to me... Please help someone!! Huh

How is system that is meant to reward quality content over trash counter-intuitive? Something needed to be done about people signing up here with dozens to hundreds of accounts just to spam with and this is the solution to that.

Look I have been on here long enough to know how certain things work. I may not be the best writer, but after looking around, the members with the most merits aren't that great either, I mean not in the least, neither do they provide great content or insight. So how did they get all those merits with sub-par content? The senior members say post good content and you will get merits. Hog wash!! It is almost impossible to earn merits on here... Why??? Hope this not a good ole boy's system.... (That's why I love Steemit)!!

You spammed this same post in three posts. You need to learn the rules.

You will gradually get merits from merit sources. They will consider whether your posts are meritable or not. They are not marked but they are here watching most people and whom to merit to. Keep posting quality content and dont beg for merits or complain about merits.

One good suggestion for you - remove your paid signature and if needed keep a personal signature. The merit sorces being elder people here dont like newbies coming to the forum with the idea of spamming(does not apply to everyone) the forum to get paid from bounties and all. You posts will be catching their eye if you dont wear paid signatures - as per DannyHamilton.

Yes its counter productive for those who want to rank up making shitposts but productive for those who are making quality posts to this forum.
