I need merits quite a lot.
I'm trying to be able to post images of a product we are launching. but I cannot do it as my rank is too low.
Our product aims to put a blockchain computer in every home. crypto adoption by the masses is being held back by my lack of merit on bitcointalk. mass adoption is at stake here and I cannot post an image.
You can upgrade your account to copper member, and then you can post images. It is not free though.
Here is explained how you can do that
