I need some orientation on how Participants get merit.
If it is shared, how is that done too?

Merit is awarded for useful/quality posts. Some guidelines for quality posts are in this post:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5409763.0I will not get deeply into details, but if you post useful and well written stuff, sooner or later somebody will notice that and award you with merits.
Even good questions can get merited.
PS. For example, this post of yours is rather badly written and hard to understand everything you meant. Just saying...
