Few days back i found that you are not going to be promoted if you are unable to get more merit.
1 thing i know that you get a merit by making a good post which is helpful, but i want to know more ways to earn Merit?
how much merit 1 single account can give to other?
There are threads in bitcointalk forum that give away merit by posting your best post's link to his/her thread to earn merit same as posting constructive post that will help most of us. The other is also posting and wait for someone who give you merit. The merit you can give is half of your merit. Example you have 20 meris and your smerits or sendable merits will be half of 20 and that's 10, you give 5 of it so the remaining smerits are 5 next time you give merit is up to 5. Your sMerit will change if someone give merit so from 5 and you receive two merits then your sMerits now will be six.
