Joe, seems I run out of sMerit, so next round I'll provide one (1) merits only, for third place.

Great, I'll update the top post. Thank you so much for your continued support of this challenge, Geraldo! You were the very FIRST participant to enter the challenge, and the very first merit sponsor! It's crazy to think that it has already been over a month and the challenge is still ongoing. Thanks again for your contribution, Geraldo!
I have some spare merits so for round 6 I'd like to sponsor the 2 remaining merits for 3rd place
I really appreciate you stepping up, but I'd rather you use your merits to award to other members that you may encounter around the forums. I can cover Geraldo's portion moving forward

Unless you really
really REALLY want to give u pa couple of your merits... Then I guess we could arm wrestle for it

I agree; those posts are meritorious. Merited. Congrats again!
Thank you so much Joe. I'm so glad I found your competition in the first place. I have to say, I've learned so much since I started this challenge. If nothing else, your challenge gives structure to my posts, by the simple fact that I know they are not going to be unnoticed. What I've learned the most is how little I understand Bitcoin. You've correctly noticed that I have a problem finding the correct boards to post in. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try with the two boards you indicated. I might skip next week due to personal reasons, but I'm here to stay in the long run.
I love seeing your progression here, and will do whatever I can to support you. You're one of the good Newbies we've got here on the forums. If there is anything I can help you out with regarding your personal matters, please let me know. If I'm in a position to help you, I undoubtedly will. Good luck!
