I just rank up today at 70 activity but still I'm a Junior member because my merits are not enough, so I feel so depressed.. Do you think this merit thing will get lost in the future of bitcointalk? because honestly I'm having hard time earning it. I don't have much knowledge in bitcoin though I research but not all sink in my mind so its really hard for me to earn merit.. Is there any other way to earn merit except for quality posts? Please excuse my grammar.
I think that you underestimate yourself. You already have 5 merits, it remains to receive another 5 and you will become a member. I should have already become a member too, but I have not yet received enough merits. It pushes me to strive to improve the quality of my posts, write more grammatically and interestingly. Be patient. Everything comes in time to the one who can wait.
