The view provided by @Rikafip gives senders and receivers per month. The following is a quicker access to the data (prefiltered):
https://public.tableau.com/shared/5M7395TND?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

Now if what you are after overall aggregate data for the Indonesian local board (up until last friday), it is as follows:

nTX: 15.141
nMerits: 26.670
nDistinctSenders: 1.542
nDistinctReceivers: 1.423

I looked up the above on my DB, as the Dashboard breaks it down by month.

You mean something like this, merit senders and receivers per month?

No, That is not what I mean. I want to know the total number of merit receivers and senders in the Indonesian Local Board since January 24, 2018 until this mounth. But I've been going through all of them in merit dashboard one by one and there doesn't seem to be any. But it may not be important because the data shows that every year from 2018 to 2021 the number of receivers, the number of senders, and the number of meirs distributed on the Indonesian Local Board seems to decrease based on the image I posted earlier. If this continues, maybe in the next 1-2 years the sender and receivers of the merit will no longer be on the Indonesian Local Board, I hope that doesn't happen. But I don't know, I think we really have to move forward to do our best there.

For example, I want to know how many merit senders and receivers have been in the Local Board Indonesian since January 24, 2018 until now. I'm having trouble getting it from Merit Dashboard, can you share some information?

Or if you want total amount of merit senders and receivers, this is one of the ways to see it. List is much longer, you just have to scroll it down. Looking at it, there have been 1542 merit senders and 1423 merit receivers on your board since January 24th 2018 up until now, or more precisely September 24th.

As I told you before, no need to ask for permission, feel free to use these charts whenever you want. As long as you mention the source of course.

Thanks, but there's nothing wrong with asking permission because I just wanted to show respect for the work you do. Only that. ;v

Rikafip, can you please tell me how I can find out the number of users who have been involved in this merit system from either the senders or the receivers of the merit in a particular local board. For example, I want to know how many merit senders and receivers have been in the Local Board Indonesian since January 24, 2018 until now. I'm having trouble getting it from Merit Dashboard, can you share some information?

But if it's for a different year, I can get the data and this is how it looks.

The occasional mention of Bitcointalk in Croatian forums about technology, IT, and stuff like that could maybe get some new people interested.

I tried that, to no avail. Thinking if it, I talked to every single person I know IRL (that is into crypto) about bitcointalk and responses I got were from "bitcointalk is one big signature campaign circlejerk and echo chamber" (that's coming from veterans) to "what can I find on bitcointalk that I can't find someplace else" (mostly coming from new people). Neither is true, but that's how they perceive bitcointalk.

Quote from: Pmalek on September 24, 2021, 11:21:41 AM

It's the same thing with the 3rd most active Russian - The0ldl_lser. Not a single post in English in the first 5 pages of his post history.
Azrieli has a few posts in English, but the majority of his writing also takes place in the local sub.

That's one of the advantages of big boards like Russian, German and Turkish; they are practically self-sufficient and members can find everything inside their own board. So even if they know English to some degree, majority of them will just rather stay there.

There are a lot of other reasons and different situations why we don't have more members on the forum.
Some of my friends prefer Telegram or social networks, some have a problem with English and some of my friends have dropped out of this forum due to evil fee.
I'm sorry for this last reason because we could have more members at the Croatian local.
Rikafip, congratulations on another great monthly forum analysis Cheesy

This is so sad he’s one of the top TV journalist in Pakistan with 4.4m Twitter followers.

They don’t do any R&D by themselves just Google and read whatever crap available online on the first page and start giving suggestions to governments.

These so called journalists behave like they are experts of every thing whatever the hot topic on circulation. During pandemic they were experts of Corona Virus and vaccination then when recent Afghanistan was in news they were war experts of Taliban and think tanks or policy makers of Afghanistan. Now this Chinese FUD and they are cashing in with their financial advices… Tongue

As usual, I ask permission to take some data from this latest update post to complete my thread. I think it will be much more complete if I also add the most active posters on other Local Board as comparison for the Indonesian Local Board. Hopefully it can help the posters of the Indonesian Local Board to be encouraged to be even more active in posting quality things.

Just wondering why Pakistan doesn't appear in this above graph of "Merit senders and receivers"? I know since Pakistan is not a local board technically and may be tracking individual sender receiver might be tricky?

Because Merit Dashboard tracks that only for boards, not specific topics. There are probably ways to get that info for Pakistan topic (manually counting?) so if you figure it out and can provide the info I will include it in the chart.

Quote from: Pmalek on September 25, 2021, 01:27:11 AM

He only tracks merits distributed in sections which have their own local boards. Local threads, such as that of Pakistan are not included. I don't think it would make much sense to include the Pakistani local thread without also including the threads of Bangladesh, Serbia, Vietnam, Ukraine, etc. The names I mentioned are based solely on the number of posts in those language sections. And if you include one or two, there are always going to be questions why didn't you also include this one or that one...

I do track merit for 3 communities that don't have their own local board (Nigerian, Pakistan and Bangladesh), but not senders/receivers due before mentioned reasons. Originally, Serbian topic was included in those charts too (from 10/2020 to 04/2021), but post activity there dropped so much that I decided to remove it and focus only on those communities that have regular activity and some chances of getting their own local board, as that was the idea behind adding communities that don't have their own local boards, to somewhat help them, or at least try.

Well, the Italian board is actually trying to catch up with yours ,so... we will have to increase the effort!

fillippone, I regret that I can't do much for the Indonesian Local Board especially as a merit distributor because I don't have enough sMerit to distribute it there. I've previously been advised to apply as a merit source, will probably do so in the future when I'm really ready. For now I'm just trying to get more to help Indonesian Local Board users get some of their posts that I consider quality. As ShowOff already mentioned, we have 2 merit source that are still pretty active while we're also missing a few like Joniboini and dbshck. Hopefully we get their replacement as soon as possible or hope they return to their activities as a source of merit.

Since January 2021, a total of 13k merits have been distributed. I'm not sure if there are any statistics to show how many members ranked up during this time.You're a good poster, you might end up with double your merits if you join the board.

I think it's a combination of both those things. It's the biggest local board with more active members than anywhere else. I just took a look at Rikafip's stats showing the members who were most active in the Russian local. Obviously we have all seen Ratimov around, but I have no idea who D-oN_ is (2nd on the list in terms of activity). Looking at the first 5 pages from his post history, all his posts were made in the Russian boards....]

Yes, they had over 7k+ postings in the last month, which is incredible and only goes to show how passionate the Russians are about their board. The Turkish and German boards are also keeping up with the pace.

I bet there are many Russians who don't even speak English or write in the English boards, but they are very active on Bitcointalk and get plenty of merits in the local board alone.

I am happy to see that Indonesian local board are ranked 6th as the most active local board with the number of posts above 900 and it seems that the number of merit distributed has also increased slightly compared to the previous month.

It's easy to notice that the Russian board has been the only one rallying changing after the last merit reshuffle: they have literally taken off! Not exactly sure what happened there, but for sure they were good at fully capitalizing on the change!

EDIT: @Ratimov has just posted a few details above.

That bolded part reminded me of something I wanted to add some time ago, and that is merit per transaction chart.

Rikafip, I believe this will help more users to know more about merit distribution activities in local board including habits per tx. So far it seems to me that local Indonesian board only have two sources of merit "which still appear to be active" based on their merit history in the last 120 days. Husna QA and ETFbitcoin are very active on the local board as a source of merit, but because the number of merit per tx is too low, the merit distribution of both cant increase the number of merit to more than 300 per months on the local board Indonesian.

Here's the comparison. Maybe I should also suggest both to slightly increase the amount of merit per tx for the next month. Cheesy

It's nice to see those improved numbers in the Croatian local. Especially the stats about the number of merits per board and the merit/post ratio. The data shows that every second post is getting merited, which is pleasant.

Merit wise, we are finally where we wanted to be and for the first time those that are mostly active in our board can't complain that it's hard to rank up.

Yep, that's the biggest issue we have at the moment. It's not a comfort, but I guess that similar situation is in the other local boards and forum in general so we are not an exception here. I tried to bring some people to bitcointalk, to no avail. And if recent Bitcoin rally to 60k+ didn't bring more people to bitcointalk, I don't now what will.

Quote from: ShowOff on September 24, 2021, 03:48:05 AM

So the conclusion is if users focus on getting merit in local board then I'm sure they will take a little longer to rank up because the number of scattered merit is still less than 300 per month and most senders don't have the habit of sending more than 1 merit per tx.

That bolded part reminded me of something I wanted to add some time ago, and that is merit per transaction chart. Iirc I gave up because some low activity boards had numbers completely screwed up (e.g one transaction of 20 merits) that would mess up the chart. Anyway, I made it now and maybe I'll add it to my monthly overview.
