There are so many users out there that I find quite reductive for a merit source merit ting the same user over and over (speaking of my own experience, with all the due respect to other’s habits and preferences).

Somewhat natural. There's only a limited amount of users, and depending on the sections you visit, that'll be concentrated ten fold. Unless, you yourself visit a lot of sections on the forum, I would accept most merit sources merit to be concentrated to one or two sections. This is likely some of the criteria considered when Theymos allocated merit sources.

For example, you'll see this habit a lot more in local sections where the user base is much lower than other sections. Its not necessarily a bad thing.

I must admit that I admire you for the vastness of your merit network.

Most people dont have that much to distribute, its possible you over estimate these vast reserves left unused on active accounts at least. Im pretty sure the merit system is too illiquid to really have a chance of distributing to everyone it should. I'd prefer the ratio to decay not 2:1 but 3:2 or 4:3 which allows it to spread further along a chain which invariably will exist even though people make extra efforts to distribute, the natural process is going to be a larger effect.

No new posts since February and you have updated the version two times since then? Man, this thread really deserves a bump.

I have been following your activity in the last days and what you do in Bitcointalk is amazing (do I sound a bit bootlicker? I don't care at all). Keep up with the good work, and spend your merits as you please, you deserve it! Other members are over-stingy with their merits and don't get critics about their behaviour Roll Eyes

- That have a total Merit count of under 250 merits (as of last Friday) – so as to focus on mid-to-low ranks

Was about to throw a tantrum about why I wasn't included till I saw this rule.

I find myself in a similar situation with my smerit amount, although it doesn't count as a significant figure yet. I'm finding it more difficult as I'm not that regular on the forum these days.
Good job distributing your stash, it would be very helpful to the targeted accounts.

The real Jet Cash.

Thanks for meriting my node post. Kuffy seems to be the default sobriquet on the netbook, Jet Cash is on the notebook. It did give me a bit of encouragement, as I think I will return to running at least two nodes, and maybe discussing them here. Hopefully that will help newbies who have to use public WiFi.

Version 3.0 - 24/02/2020 ( 244 profiles merited (by me) in 23 minutes)

My personal earned sMerit batch has now piled out to a significant figure, and I just don’t want it there piling up for nothing, so I’ve decided to go once again on a wee merit spree in order to reduce the amount, whilst trying to use a criteria that is reasonable. On this occasion, I have re-merited posts (that I’d previously merited at some point) following this criteria:

-   Merit the last post I’ve previously merited
-   Of all non-banned profiles
-   That have been active this year (logged-in during 2020)
-   That have a total Merit count of under 250 merits (as of last Friday) – so as to focus on mid-to-low ranks

I have currently merited 908 different profiles, so the above criteria seemed fitting to re-merit some of them. Eventually, it was down to 244 posts that I merited, since a couple were either deleted or on ignore.

I can only say that DdmrDdmr is probably one of the most active merit sender on this forum and for sure one who is send most merits in 30 minutes. Since I get good % of my merits from him, I can only say thanks for good work and wish him good holidays⛵

If he say where he will spend his holidays, maybe someone can buy him a beer or something like that🍹🍨

If we were to go by the merit stats page of the most generous merit senders of all time, and the most recent we would come up with the following:

All time:

Code:

17124: suchmoon
12553: dbshck
8951: chimk
8629: Foxpup
5319: bones261
5294: LoyceV
4814: qwk
4396: Flying Hellfish
4383: TMAN
4275: Vod

Most recent:

Code:

920: chimk
777: suchmoon
542: LoyceV
512: Foxpup
478: DdmrDdmr
470: bones261
398: dbshck
372: Flying Hellfish
312: DarkStar_
304: Halab

I'm not sure when DdmrDdmr was made a merit source, but it seems that your assessment would be accurate for the most recent merit senders, however in the grand scheme of things the all time merit sent is quite staggering with Suchmoon, and dbshck leading the way by a considerable amount. Overall, I don't think there's too many surprises with the names that pop up.

What is impressive is DdmrDdmr on the merit sources statistic page has only 200 monthly allocation apparently. I'm unsure if that's accurate, and if I'm understand that page correctly, but considering the small amount of monthly allocation, I would say he's doing pretty well to distribute his earned merit which I do admit its a fairly regular income for them.

Surely it seems to me that the level of complaining about the smerit system has gone down

I would agree with this assessment. However, I don't know whether that means merit distribution is sufficient and there is now enough distributed merit to "trickle down" to all deserving accounts, or whether that means that the people complaining about merit have realized that complaining about it won't change the system and won't earn them any merit so they have just given up.

There is little activity in Loyce's Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source thread, other than users just fishing for merits by reporting their own posts, and the ones that do get posted usually get merited pretty promptly. There are likely still a few good newbies going unmerited, particularly in the altcoin and local boards, but for the most part I think merit is reaching those who deserve it.

Merit system is naturally deflationary imo.

Merit distribution is actually quite stable if you ignore the first 3 months:

And this is a good or bad news? I'm a newbie and i'll try to understand this complex system. For me is really interesting

Well, Loyce did not attribute any moral value to his observation about the distribution of smerits stabilizing, but I would imagine that kind of evidence would support assertions that merit sources are generally spending their smerits in a consistent amount with the passage of time and on a monthly basis.

There had been some earlier accusations that merit sources were not sufficiently spending their smerits, so in that way proclaiming that the way that this merit system is flawed in both its design and how it is playing out.

Surely it seems to me that the level of complaining about the smerit system has gone down, unless I have just been visiting the wrong threads or coming to the wrong conclusions regarding the substance of the smerit posts.

I would prefer new merit source being granted higher monthly allowance. Recent MS with 15 smerits after being tested for months are a puzzle to me.

And so, we have the good idea to spend our sMerits if there isn't something a new Meritable Posts. This might be ridiculous for my board but still a good way to keep our circulations on the line.

I go the opposite way, I only award say 5 or more if its a coder or someone who works behind the scenes but isnt a big forum poster. Anyone who is regularly posting should be fine with say 1 or 2 merit as they have a multitude of posts to gain attention and be awarded merit. Also its just necessity, I dont want to run to absolute zero merits really/

The strategy followed by suchmoon and Vod seems to be the best; Give 4 or more sMerits when you find a good post. So they never let them accumulate too much, and they do not need to plan a new strategy to distribute them. =)

Pretty much.

The more you spend, the more that comes around. Not like there's much tax (entropy).

Oh, I was wondering why you merited my post twice just in two days. And here is the answer. Amazing job @DdmrDdmr! Damn, I didn't spent even 200 smerits in 1.5 year and you merited over 250 users in such short period of time. Probably I'm too lazy to spent my smerits more often, but you gave me good motivation!

Exactly. Just because you have money in the bank, it doesn't mean you have to spend it. In fact, if you spend the money unwisely, it may just be an indication that you are overpaid.

I see where you're going with this statement and to be fair you mean well but putting the personality of DdmrDdmr into consideration I doubt this act of his can be tagged unwise spending of merit. Haven't looked through his recent merit record but I have known his meriting habbit to be associated with awarding mostly just 1 merit per quality post (personally I have recieved that 25+ times on different occasions) so if he decides to double that on occasional bases i think it should be welcomed

When it comes to awarding merit to deserving post is there anything like over meriting Roll Eyes

Just to be clear, what I did here is abide by the principle of not hoarding merits. Being a Merit Source allows me to merit many posts (especially in 1s). What I did here is award a batch from my personal sMerits, rather than leave them there for ages on end. I could also spend another zillion hours looking for posts to merit with them, or simply do what I did which is basically, using my same meriting criteria (which is decent enough and as wise as it gets), revisit some of the posts and merit them again. The net effect is basically as if I’d given them 2 to begin with, which is no overkill.
