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

)
- 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)
