Did I missed something? What happened few days ago exactly? Because requirement to get 1 Merit to reach Jr. Member rank was implemented few months ago.
And seems that you don't know how Merit system works exactly. You probably confused Merit sources and DT members.
And about what tasks you're talking about. You just need to make good posts to get Merit. And not only Merit sources can give Merit. Even I can give Merit. But I wont do that. I don't see any reasons why I should give you Merit. Almost all of your posts are made in bounties section and it's clear that you came to Bitcointalk only for monetary reasons. You only need Merit and higher rank to get bigger stakes from bounties. It's very unlikely that you will get Merit, you need to change your attitude.
