Can you explain more about what Growth Mining is? I hadn't heard of it before but it seems very interesting.

So if I were to sign up now there would be a field that would ask if someone recommended me? If I put down KAMO287, what would you get out of it?

Great question. If you use a sign up link: https://wallet.merit.me?invite=KAMO287

It should auto fill the alias that is associated with the link.

The alias is what matters. Anyone can go to the wallet and put in an alias during setup.

The other ways to get in would be if someone sent you a MeritMoney or MeritInvite link , they have invites built into the flow.

What would I get out of it? Well, I'd get real , awesome community members (I hope) . Like others said , it increases my community growth score , and that improved the chance of winning the growth reward lottery that happens every block.

I personally send merit and invites to my community to help them grow theirs so as I earn growth I send some back to those who care and are trying too.

End of the day , Merit is a big community , built up by a a bunch of smaller communities. Some care more about developing it as a community (me) while others just see it as a reward tree.

It's incentives to grow Merit. And the team strives to find ways to not make it all about mining and not all about "referrals" . I don't get a cut of anything you do on your own. That's a misunderstanding a lot have.

That's why I think having proof of work and proof of growth both a part of the block chain and rewards is so cool, because I am not a harcore hardware miner. Some might say I'm a growth miner though .

Does that help?

That definitely cleared up my questions. I've never seen Proof of Growth before, is this something Merit made up?

I would say they implimented it based off some other theories and ideas (outside of crypto) . I'm on mobile and this is tough to link but if you scroll through the pages I've left (and others) a good trail of answers that explain more how it works. When I get home I can link too .

Just got to sort through some of the early pages of invite spam. But some solid answers the past 24 hours
