Welcome. You may have heard alot of things about thos forum from different quarters. Of all those things which you may have heard, I know that the one that must have stood out the most was getting merit to advance to the next level and which makes one eligible to be accepted into a signature campaign.

What I am saying is that take your mind off merits. Because it will make you begin to spam, create low quality topics and replies, this would lead to you being on the ignore list of most members on the forum. To contribute effectively, focus on high quality post not two liner posts. Read more about bitcoin and stay up-to-date with the latest in the Bitcoin ecosystem that way, you'd be able to contribute to the conversations that go on here.
