Topic: DdmrDdmr is surprising for meriting posts - page 2. (Read 579 times)

Many users wonder about that even I'm not sure how he does it all the time other than opening tens of tabs before spray merit.
There's been some speculation and discussion about the DdmrDdmr merit spray in these two threads, so I don't think the OP should worry too much about it.

True, but he use bot, that should be complicated than manual, because he must know the quality post

Have received merits from at least five different people since january 2023

Many of us doesn't know the clue behind this, I don't know if any other person has being thinking same thing, sending him a personal message will only educate me alone but making it to be open will benefit so many others, I think the reason this forum is created is to share knowledge across each other.

Thanks for the good update.
I would be very surprised anyway if he hadn’t improved the workflow since then.

I also wonder sometimes the way he send merits to different accounts but I was bother to know because it was not my concern.

Collect the posts you want to merit.
Write a script to merit to the posts and define how many merits to send in specific posts. Same to all or random given numbers in an array for each posts?
Run the script.

May be few things need to keep in mind like time delay and things to avoid IP banning.

A good example is few weeks ago TryNinja created a script to update images from imgur to talkimg/imgbb.

If you check @DdmrDdmr profile carefully, his a normal guy who is just too good at his job as a merit source. I don't think he uses any bot or something. Yes he might have a good operating system with fast and swift response to help him move around the forum very quickly. And then he also said that during this period of meritting, he locks him self away from the outside world so as to focus more. I really appreciate his good works and contributions to the community. We need more person like him here on Bitcointalk.

257 sMerits in 140 minutes.
I rushed it a bit more between 14:28 ..15:30 UTC really: 250 awarded sMerits in those 62 minutes. I really wanted to empty my personal sMerit bag that day in a though out manner.
I had a few tricks up my sleeve to be pretty swift at the task, being one of the primal ones to put household inhabitants on ignore during that timeframe.

@DdmrDdmr, has talked and told a lot in his own thread, entitled: 1221 posts merited (by me) in just under 21 minutes–What's got over me? (v 36.0).

I don't know if ddmrddmr sending merits this way is considered manually or automatically.

What I did was prepare a list of the last post I merited per active 2019 profile (at the time). That gave me 256 posts from distinct users to re-merit, although the toll was 250 in the end since 6 were deleted posts. The lists was pretty easy to draft up from my merit DB (if anyone wants a similar one I can provide it). That was the easy part.
I then used a Firefox addon called Open Multiple URL and started the mechanical process of pasting batches of 10 to 15 URLs to the addon (it opens one URL per tab), meriting each post, and closing the tab. Sometimes an opened URL would give and error message (for trying to query Bitcointalk too many times in a short period of time), and I’d have to refresh the tab to get to the post. Pretty manual that part.

The overall idea was to re-merit profiles I had merited before, and since I tend to perform mainly 1 sMerit TXs, it would seem fair and conceptually similar to being a bit more generous for once …

0,2K (started off with an eighth part of that, but upgraded during some Merit Source adjustment procedure).

Using my same exact criteria, I make it 146 people you would re-merit (profile active in 2019 and selecting each one’s last merited post). I can provide you the list if you want (in a Google SpreadSheet or alike).

I’d still take human over artificial … for now …

Version 2.0  - 19/07/2019 ( 278 profiles merited (by me) in 30 minutes)

I gave it a rethink, and have decided to go on a second sMerit awarding spree from my personal batch. As before, my intention was to re-merit some posts that I had already merited previously (thus no need for me to review the post’s content) in order to get rid of my personal sMerits in a coherent manner. Since I normally award sMerits in TX of 1 (for the most), this allows me to lose my close to Ebenezer Scrooge complex when awarding sMerits, for a short interval of time at least.

I have currently merited 513 different profiles. Since my personal sMerit batch is a bit under 300, I’ve had to trim the candidates to something reasonable.

Criteria (based on merit data as of this morning):
Award an additional sMerit to the last merited post (by me) of any profile that also meets:
-   The last post merited by me has only been merited once by me (this allows me to not re-merit a same post both on spree v 1.0 and spree v 2.0).
-   Regardless of the rank.
-   The post was posted in 2019.
-   The post has not received more than 10 sMerits, adding up all those received from anybody.

That trimmed my list of candidate posts from 513 to 286, which fits my sMerit budget. Eventually, it was down to 278 posts that I merited, since 8 were either deleted or on ignore. I was faster this time than last time ...

P.D. Holidays will leave me on halt for a week or so now.

Did you check this thread [FUN] Is DdmrDdmr even human? before creating your own thread?

If you check that thread above you'll notice that issue like this ave been discussed and from the last time I checked (it has been a long time though) no one has still being able to figure out if he/she uses a bot or just do it manually, but with the time frame DdmrDdmr does the meriting I doubt that it's manual and besides he has a lot of stats about merit so it should be an easy peazy job for him.

This is surprising, I have not seen someone who merit numbers of posts same time before, does it copy all the posts link that he wants to merit and past before meriting them? or it highlights all the user's he wants to merit, to be sincere this is confusing to understand how he does it, if you have knowledge of sharing a bunch merit at a time please explain.

Many of us doesn't know the clue behind this, I don't know if any other person has being thinking same thing, sending him a personal message will only educate me alone but making it to be open will benefit so many others, I think the reason this forum is created is to share knowledge across each other.

This concern/question is more like for DdmrDdmr, i guess messaging him for give you the answer you are looking for instead of us speculating the matter, just my two cents.
