If no one is giving you merits, then it's simply because your posts aren't good enough. I actually thought earning merits would also be hard too. But it was far easier than I thought it would be. Simply studying and improving your posts will fix your problem. The new merit system is a GREAT update in my opinion. Far less account farmers now.
May be u are right but i tried my best to creat good posts but still i did not recive single merit from someone.Take a look at your latest posts. I personally couldn't see a single "good post"; most of them are very bland one liners. Not even close to being called "good".

This is great news for bitcoin. Hopefully such positive news will have great impact on bitcoin and its price.
Thanks congrats for successful bounty.
He is clearly a moron. No merit at all.
What we need around here is a 'demerit' system. When someone posts a dumbass comment, we can hit it with some unlove and cost the guy a bit of his points. If his points go too low, his IP is permanently banned forever. This forum is crawling with too many stupid people.
Why don't we get a demerit system?
I definitely dig the idea of having de-merits. Though it looks like 20+ de-merits wouldn't be enough for all the bad posts we see here. Though IP bans are overkill in my opinion
, and I definitely can see how de-merits can be abused by some people.
