Hello New people/ Slightly Old people

This is an old topic i started which i am now editing to reformulate as a welcome for new people as no such topic is on traction in our sub at present. I and other older members like Heisenberg, eality etc. keep looking for newbies to join the club of crypto users. The knowledge available at this forum is immense and you need to take the right path as soon as possible to avoid the pitfalls of sham bounties, Scam forks and stay true to the idea of decentralization and openness.

If you are a new Indian account, just drop in and say hello.

Say something about how you stumbled upon bitcoin and the forum.
What are your expectations and what are you here for.
There is no shame in accepting that you are here for the earning opportunities. We'd just like you to not become a shitposter...lol..
We would like to help you wisen up for the right opportunities.
In true cypherpunk fashion, we would like you to keep details of your real name, location etc private.
Always look at people's trust rating before dealing with them in real monetary terms here at the forum

Below you can find the content the topic was originally about. Suffice to say, it'll serve the merit function too and we have quite a few merit sources available now to make your time and effort in the India-sub worth your while.

There have been certain questions regarding merit sources and merit distribution in India forum. We presently don't have a moderator and people are also concerned about not receiving enough merits.

Various topics had been started at other subs and Meta during the early days of merit. Most good Indian posters get enough merits to attain Member rank. If you think you are a genuine newbie and finding it hard to level up, then quote yourself in the reply and provide a link to two of your best posts on the forum.
I'll try to help with merits when i can and I am sure other members will too.

Here are a few links copied from an old post of mine where you can look for further merits. I am not sure if those are still functioning.

Apart from this, The Indian forum isn't yet going anywhere because it has been left to its own by our early adopters who couldn't care less. Here are my thoughts on that. Well, Support or No-support from Early adopters, I believe that we can do better than this as a community. The best of the lot is still to give some attention to their own sub.

PS: My grave thoughts on the state of Indian sub have changed due to revival of effort from a lot of good people, old and new..You can follow those here:

New pinned discussion on Indian sub by Heisenberg
Raffle for our Sub which I want to read "Free lottery to earn Satoshis"
Translated work from Nullius, Hindi comments encouraged

I think it is really a nice initiative by the people of this community to allow people who are new not only in this forum but also to this crypto world.
I personally is a big computer fan.One of my friend knew this and he also had a fair amount of knowledge regarding crypto and this forum.Though he personally is not an active user.He also introduce me to this blockchain and crypto world and he knew immediately that i was amaze by it so he recommended me this forum.
My personal agenda on joining this forum is to enhance my knowledge and be updated.But i don't mind earning money with knowledge you gain.As i feel when you have opportunity to earn money through your knowledge,your willingness to learn also increases and with merit system i feel people with half knowledge will be forced to learn.
