i offline long time, and now want to online again, but whats is merit? why my account still newbie?? i remember my account is Jr member
As far as i know you should contribute to bitcointalk forum by just posting a useful posts/thread that can really help to the bitcointalk forum. Since you are offline long time ago, i think all information already mention above can help you better. Incase you might need another information this thread can help you more to fully understand, the merit system.

Please keep in mind that the post which we make regardless of insight it provides might not be useful for the one who already knows that, but if the post is really helpful then some or the other day after weeks or months someone will find it useful and give merit.
I agree with you that for newbie may be difficult to receive first merit because they don't know much about bitcoin, crypto, anything.
Still, there are many merit giveaway topics in the forum and also if somebody is ready to dedicate his time and effort and learn about crypto than such person will have more knowledge and will write posts with more useful content, with more quality and eventually will be rewarded with merits.
