I am still new in this and i want to learn more about it. I just want to asked what is merit and trust for? How can i earn merit and trust and where can i get it? Are merits and trusts important here?
Trust is given to someone when you have transactions with that person and if you have successfully transacted with him/her then you have the option to give him/her trust. It would be a reference then to other people if that person is trustworthy or not. The more trust you have then the more people would be willing to have transaction with you. Regarding merits, it is a newly implemented rule by the admin wherein you need a certain number of merits before you can rank up. Take a look at this thread for more information regarding merits.
