I have already completed your challenge. here is my celebration post.
Finally! 101 merit and 84 activity!! Celebration Post! My thoughts on merit.

I was a newbie with 0 merit when merit system was implemented. I have now 133 merits and 84 activity. I am not a full member because I lack activity.
You can check my profile for my earned merits. I earned them one by one mostly. Never got a post which received more than 5.


There are other people who have earned far more merit than I did. I am not a crypto expert and I didn't knew a single member from this forum.
