I am hoping that you will read all the advice of our senior members of this forum, those are good advice that may help you to achieve what you want. If you want to acquire more merits then you may visit some profile with a good reputation, look and observe how they receive merits, that is what I am doing whenever I see a member with a good number reputation. I am also amazed at those with merits greater than their posts, it seems like they recevied merit every day.
Be useful/helpful.
The fact you are asking for merit - whether you genuinely don't know how to get it or you try to beg for it - means you still have to learn your way around here (and possibly you don't deserve merit yet).
Maybe it sounds a bit harsh, but this is a discussion forum. Discuss, learn, grow, help others. Good luck!
True, this forum is good for having a discussion about cryptocurrency, blockchain and other crypto-related, just focus on your goal, we are here to learn, we can explore many things if we have good knowledge.
