I was there some weeks:
The future of Bitcointalk: Low Ranking Top Merit earners in the past 30 days. Hence I understood what you are doing and what are challenging you when you are building up yourself to become a future of bitcointalk.
I have less than 50 sendable merits for you who are future of bitcointalk. If you deserve it, you can take merit from me.
No requirements to apply, except:
- Ranks: newbie, Jr. member, and Member.
- Apply with the post you think is your best. Please don't apply more than three posts.
- No daily or weekly merit cap, I will send without cap to all deserved people.
- Personal award cap: 1 merit per user.
One more rule: Only English post will be considered because I don't understand other languages and I don't want to be biassed by Google translator.
Rule update:
- One merit for one user. If you fail, you can re-apply later but if you win, your later application will not be considered.
A full disclosure: I have 42 sMerits and I am lack of 42 merits to go and reach Sr. member. What an interesting story!

Update:29 sMerits were sent out, 13 more to go!
Update 2:Thanks for all your support. Senior for now! 250 more merits to go
Personal update: I get my 300 merit. I am happy.
This is a welcome development I strongly believe with trends like this newbies will improve in their quality of posts not just for the merit sake but also for their relevance in this forum. For beginners its more profitable to study a platform closely so as to understand the culture and kind of information been displayed. Becoming a merit earner at any point requires consistency and devoted efforts. Lastly newbies don't get intimidated always believe someday your posts will attract chains on merits as well
