Re: Here Is One Reason Why Legendary Members Get So Many Merits
In fact it seems to me that many newbie members come to this forum with the intention of trying to earn some btcoin but unfortunately know almost nothing about it.
But doesn't Bitcoin come to you by itself? it's magic money, you click a button and you generate some Bitcoin. Rinse and repeat until you are rich. 
Such members will not get merits, of couse, but may be able to enter into a less demanding signature campaigns, which is most important to them.
Maybe an altcoin bounty campaign. It's going to be hard for someone whose knowledge is equal to 0 to get into a bitcoin-paid campaign. Especially with no or a single merit received God knows how.Of course, there are also newbie members who work hard, have the right attitude and over time have a chance to become respected members of this forum and get merits for their contribution to the forum, and even eventually become legendary members.
Check out n0nce. I think I spelled the name correctly. He is active in the technical bitcoin sub-forums. That user became a Jr. Member recently but he has over 300 merits which would make him a Sr. member if he had the required number of activity points.
