yea, gaining merit is too much hard. And to me, giving merit as if I agree or like some opinion of a post, the same point of view with me, have the content build positive, merits is not only for useful or constructive posts, becuase there will be subjective point of view based on the giver of merit, so lets just continue using forum and learn a lot, but dont put "getting merit" as your main reasons, just let it flow, merits will come later if you give your time and energy to contribute to the forum. So I hope we are learn more knowledge about bitcoin and help each other to make this forum a healthy playground for bitcoin enthusiasts and cryptocurrency.
