Hello everyone, I have been here for a few weeks/months now but I'm yet to receive "merit" so I'm just worried
Why are you desperate to get merit? You can be here for years and you won’t receive merit, and you can create account today and you will receive merit today. It’s not about how long you stay on the forum here, it’s about the quality of the post you are making, how useful the information which you are passing is. Anyone that finds your post useful will merit you, and I don’t know why you are worried because you haven’t received merit, hope you know merit won’t stop you from posting on the forum here, so there is nothing to be worried about.
If you join a new school and everyone is being cheered for doing something significant and you stayed for months and not even noticed let alone receive a cheer, trust me you will feel so bad as though you are a terrible person. In such situation, it behold on you to ask questions and inquire about what you are not doing correctly or what you have to do to be in tandem with your contemporaries. This is not by any way called desperation but just being inquisitive. As long as merit is a measure of post quality in the forum, it will always feel good when one receives it as; it shows that the user is making meaningful contribution. Even though I will not encourage anyone to post simply because you want to earn merit rather posts should be made to join discussion in the group, learn and contribute meaningfully so that merit should only be a product of such contribution.
What I will advice the OP is never to struggle to impress the users instead be yourself and appreciate your level of understanding of Bitcoin and the underlying technology. Make conscious effort to learn and keep growing in knowledge because every other reward you will receive is a product of knowledge.
