I dont have much Merit to give but Im going to give it up until its all gone. Im not sure if this is the right section for this thread because Im not really selling anything. Its about accounts so Ill just leave it here until someone decides to move it. I dont know if this is wrong to do. I dont care if I get negative trust for doing this because I dont buy anything here, sell anything here, join signature campaigns or post routinely in threads that even show the trust rating. Essentially I dont make money here so I dont use trust anyway.

I felt sorry for SOME of the members that posted in the merit thread. They seemed to be fairly articulate, fairly knowledgeable, rational and really trying to be members of this group of dreamers (community).

Heres how its going to work. Youre not just going to beg for merit and I give it. Do not PM me and offer to pay me for merit points. Your money means nothing to me. I have given away more bitcoin than you will likely earn while on this forum (just ask Gleb Gamow if you dont believe me). I will report you to a mod that will give you negative trust for being a potential scammer. You will ask me to research your post history and direct me to 10-20 posts that you believe show you have a deep desire to learn about, use, and support bitcoin. I will then ask you a couple of questions about how bitcoin works and you will answer them. I dont care if you take some time to research the answer if you come up with the correct answer. That just means Ive made you learn more about bitcoin than you knew previously.

Bitcoin does not mean altcoin. I know altcoins are more popular on this forum than bitcoin. I dont care. I will only help bitcoiners level up. If most of your post history is in altcoin threads I wont help you. I do not consider Bitcoin Cash to be bitcoin. If you dont know what the real bitcoin is then you havent been here long enough for me to help you. Which leads me to the group Im willing to help.

Rank     Required activity     Required merit
Brand new     0     0
Newbie     1     0
Jr Member     30     0
Member     60     10
Full Member     120     100
Sr. Member     240     250
Hero Member     480     500

New members, Newbies, Jr Members and Members dont need any merit. They dont have enough post history to judge so I wont be helping them.

Full members, Sr. Members and Hero Members really got screwed with the merit system. Some of them were really close to leveling up and now have to wait until theyve impressed the right person to probably get only one merit point from them. The most extreme case of this is Hero Member. They may need hundreds of merit points to level up which could take a very long time to get.

You will be working for 20 merit points. Good luck to all. I will announce when theyre gone and lock the thread.

If you don't care about the things i care about, just go away..
Wow! How..er..um..Legendary?
Sheesh.

I still believe this is a bitcoin forum. When I first came to this forum there were no altcoins. I believe every time another altcoin is born it dilutes bitcoins user base slightly. You are asking me to give you something for free. You're not paying so you cant modify the rules. Maybe someone in the altcoin section will do the same thing someday. If you borrow my car for free instead of renting it you cant bitch because I wont let you smoke cigarettes in it.

I gave you a merit for clearly showing people that their fear of bias (as to how merit will be distributed) is warranted

+1

Thanks, and I will pass that on to someone that needs it. I agree with you. The system is unfair to some people. Thats what Im doing with this thread. Im leveling the playing field. Im sure you will get to the level you want someday. Im not against lower ranks. Some of the better people here are below Member status from what Ive seen. They just arent as hurt by the merit system as the upper ranks are.
