With the introduction of the new merit points system in addition to activity, leveling up is now impossible to predict. I still like your spreadsheet and I'm keeping it in my bookmarks, but man... what a bummer.

For those who missed the news: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/merit-new-rank-requirements-2818350

What do you guys think about merits?

I think this is one solution to all the spam here. It's easy to reach 10 Merit points if you post quality posts. From 10 to 100 is a bit more difficult for Full member. We are still in the beginnig of the new system, hope that with the time the system will be adjusted. Lets see what happens from now on.

Yup, agreed, I think the panic about the forum's imminent death is premature. I'm even kinda happy I wasn't a more senior rank about to level up... that would suck big time.

With regards to spam, I hope it will help curtail it, BUT someone else brought up a valid point that newbies might start spamming even more in hopes of getting merit at least for something. We'll see.

Hoping for some adjustments though. The system is a bit complicated.

Now the game has changed and for the newcomers coming only for the bounties it will be difficult. Now you have to contribute to the forum and earn Merit points in order to rank-up.
I have updated the calculator with the Merit point system. More information you will find in the calculator

Good luck

You can accumulate 14 activity every 2weeks so 1activity everyday and when you reach 30 you will be promoted to jr. Member and then multiply it buy two to be member and so on

You can get one activity every time you post but its maximum if 14 and it will accumulate every 2weeks and in jr member you need 30 activity so atleast 1month,member 2months,full member 4months and so on be because every rank the actuvity required will be double.

Patience and knowledge are gold.

Im pretty sure every 2 weeks you can have 14 activity points so its like 7/7 ..... 7 points a week . so to get full member should be at 4.5 months . you need 126 points of activity. dont worry about that you will get it soon.join some bounty campains too will do good for you.

Interesting. If you post correctly, it will take you just over 2 years to level up to Legendary. When I started out a few years ago, I just posted frequently, because I liked the forum and before I knew it, I reached Legendary. The secret to the success for this, is not to post on the forum to rank up. Come in daily and look for something that interest you and then just chat about it or ask questions to gain more knowledge.

Time goes by very quickly and before you know it, you will be a Legendary member of this forum. ^smile^

Keep in mind that legendary is a bit more tricky >

You are guaranteed to become Legendary somewhere between 775 and 1030 activity, but the exact point in this range at which you become Legendary is random per user.

I am happy that you people find the calculator useful

Wow it enlightens me. Thanks for this post. I now understand how does activity points work. So grateful this post helps a lot for newbies like me. I really thought that you need to post the exact 14posts per 2weeks.

Here is a little gem of knowledge that's often omitted from all activity calculator discussion: If you make more than 14 posts a fortnight, they don't go to waste. The excess posts will count as additional activity in the future activity periods where you've made less than 14 posts.

I was enlightened now, thanks for the information. This explains the additional count i experienced before. I thought the website just experiencing error and my comment got posted twice. So i guess 14posts per week is not a limitation, the excess will still be used on the future. I've been thinking to post just the exact 14 post so that others won't get wasted, i understand now.

Oh man, this is great to know! Explains how I got more Activity immediately after recalculation took place.

Thanks for the calculator OP. Fun to play with.

Yeah just experienced it myself that if you post more than 14 post per 2 weeks the extra posts automatically generate Activity points after your first comment in the new 2 weeks time span. This is great.
