I couldn't find the details about how to earn merit as a newbie, and how to earn sMerit, I think this information is not here in this forum. I understand making useful posts will earn merit but what it means?
You will be rewarded with quality and informative posts on this Bitcoin forum. But I went to your profile and saw that I didn't find any posts to merit. You notice the posts of more senior brothers and the more you do the more knowledge you gain from this forum.
If you can post 1+1=2 merit. You will have 1 Smerit, and you can give that smerit to others.
