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 sad..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.
First of all, do not get disappointed so easily. You have already achieved 5 merit points and thus reached halfway. You are still doing better than a lot of new members who have not got a single merit. Regarding getting merits for ways other than quality posts, you can try making good compilation of threads related to particular topic. Choose a topic which is not covered already.
