It's great you learned from the thread you created. You are now aware that you are a good poster that can earn merits and grow your account. What you need is just diligence and persistence. Contributing meaningfully to the forum takes a lot of hard work especially if you are new to the Bitcoin industry. You need to keep reading about your area of interest and understand what you are studying before posting. Don't also rush to make comments except you have read the original posts and the comments. This will enable you to come up with different ideas that are unique. When your post stands out, you will begin to get merit.

I checked your history and I saw that you are a good gambling poster. Unfortunately, the gambling section is not a place to earn merit. So you might consider checking out other sections that are always visited by merit sources. But my final advice; stop pursuing merits and enjoy the forum because merit will surely come if you express yourself positively.
