This is a forum where everything related to Bitcoin and Altcoins is discussed by anyone over the world. The forum dates back to 2010 where supposedly Satoshi Nakomoto himself wrote posts. Promotions and trades are also a daily activity in the Marketplace section.
This is also a forum where users do bounty and get rewarded Tokens of the ICO project, majority of ICO go through for promotional duties.
Signature bounty is quite common, however, the higher your rank is, the higher the reward, which bring me to the aim of this write up; explain how the rank system works. Because at first I thought as long as I get more post (increase activity) on this forum, the more merit but Nope!!! Doesn't work that way :-\ wish it did though but that won't the forum highly respected.
Bitcointalk Merit
A merit is a reward given by another Bitcointalk user to your post if it is interesting and useful. The other user does so by using up the sMerit. For each sMerit the other user sends to you, you receive one Merit at the same time 1/2 of the amount as sMerits.
Existing accounts prior to the implementation of the Merit system, received 100% of the merit required for their rank.
Bitcointalk accounts with Merit Source enabled, receive Merits continuously. They support the community by finding posts that stand out in quality and thus deserve merits, which are then assigned.
By making constructive, informative posts, you can earn Merits and not increasing your activity!! 👐
Good day.
