I have been into the system for some months now and I have made over twenty posts but no simply merit has been given to me or earn by me and this make me to be surprise on how these merit are generated, given or earned. However, looking at it in another perspective, I don't know if it is because I did not meet the number of my post require to earn a merit or because of the low quality of my post that is the reason why I had not been able to earn a single merit. So please I will like to get more clarifications on the possible requirement for earning merit.
There's no minimum or maximum number of posts that will make you to be eligible for merit and nobody is obligated to give you merit in this forum, this is the fact. I'll advise you to focus on learning about cryptocurrency from experienced members in the forum and also research from reputable crypto sites to increase your knowledge. Don't make posts on topics that you don't understand and don't be in a hurry to start a topic, nobody will penalize you for that. When you want to make a post, try as much as possible that it has quality contents, hopefully it'll impress a member to merit it. If nobody does, move on and keep making more quality posts, eventually the merits will start to come.
