I do not want to create any controversy with this, just to clarify a couple of points, in Meta we talk about everything related to the forum, I think we agree with this

Ofcourse, I remember my first merit and everyone who gave me the rankup merit. My first merit was from eternalgloom. Gave me 3 merits for Libra - the Good, the Bad & the Ugly
My first merit send would be to LoyceV for answering my question regarding Vanitygen and promoting me to Member rank  Tongue
Heisenberg Hunter ranked me up to Full Member by meriting few of old posts on my Birthday.
JSRAW ranked me up to Sr.Member by meriting my post in PSL 2020 pool discussion.
I don't remember me ranking up anyone though  Undecided

Indeed the description of this section says "Discussion about the Bitcoin Forum".
If we focus strictly on which threads can be opened in Meta, you are right, but you should apply it to everyone. No one has complained about the thread, you can see the responses of the users. I will tell you more, if this thread opens it, any recognized user would have no problem.
Do not worry, I will close both threads, I am not here to waste time debating this.
I'm sorry guys, my threads don't contribute anything.

I find your lack of faith in Bitcoin disturbing.
Both threads provide forum information to readers, what's wrong with this?

What useful information has been given in this topic ?

Indeed the description of this section says "Discussion about the Bitcoin Forum". If you have seen a bug, this is the right section. If you have a suggestion to improve this forum, this is the right section. For banning, for problems with moderation, this is the right section. A question about the functioning of merits, Trust system, you're in the right place. It's okay for all types of stats too.

But what's the point of knowing who sent you your first merit ?

It's like the self-satisfaction topics ("my way to member/Full member/etc..."), it was fine for the first 3-4 topics, but it multiplied quickly.

Pray I never become mod of this section Smiley

fuxcxake bro these threads you're opening in meta are pretty shit. move them to off topic

I have opened 2 somewhat peculiar threads, people participate in them without getting angry and happy to publish their personal experience.

In the first, do people expose how much time is online in the forum?
In the second, who sent him his first merit?

Both threads provide forum information to readers, what's wrong with this?
Don't you think that these types of topics are occasionally good for Meta?

I wish you a good day.

Last year on the 10th anniversary of this forum an art submission contest was started by theymos where I got my first merit by theymos as well because the merit was given by theymos so it's definitely unforgettable thanks to him and others as well.

I remember very well my first merit and not only that but also my first 2 merits Smiley I received them for the 10th Anniversary Art Contest, from Mitchell and nakamura12. The 3rd one came from yogg, for another contest (Design the 10 years of BitcoinTalk commemorative ColdKey). Thank you all!

And I also remember the first merit I sent: I gave it to theymos, for the topic The Bitcoin Forum is 10 years old.

I don't remember exactly who gave it to me but it was for my decision to help newbies gaining merits and if I'm not wrong, it was TMAN who initiated this merit thing for me and I'm grateful to them for giving it to me for the first time. I'd also like to thank my (formerly but still) fellow Chipmixer team who always liked and motivated my work with their merits showered on those posts.

I don't even need to check. I still can remember the early days here. It was Ddmrddmr who merited me for the first time. It was really a great motive to share something useful for the community.

I couldn't remember exactly who gave me first merit without checking (it was user bkbirge but i remember it was in the thread about moon landing, and some ridiculous people claiming it was all fake. I must admit that it felt very good, getting the first merit despite being just an ordinary post, but most importantly  it was certainly and incentive and proof that getting merit is not an impossible mission and set me onto the next goal, 10 merits.
Next  few merits were also  in the Politics&Society board that i was visiting a lot at the beginning of my bitcointalk adventure, but lately I stopped spending any time there writing, mostly just lurking.

My first merit was received from @somac. I do not forget it.
As @Lucius says, the first merit sent is also good to know, I sent it to @Last of the V8s, I don't forget it either. Cheesy

Can't quite remember who it was that sent me my very first merit, my guess would be either mprep, Vod or Ddmrddmr.

Edit: I just checked it out and I got my very first merit from Coolcryptovator for this reply, https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.46563286 about 18 months ago. Ddmrddmr didn't merit me until after like six other people had, I probably remember his cause he accompanied it with a couple of encouraging words for the newbie back then. I don't know why the other names I guessed came into my head.

No God or Kings, only BITCOIN.
Well, I really can't remember who was the user that sent me the first merit but I was able to identify it using DdmrDdmr's Bitcointalk Merit Dashboard and find it was this user Continuous.

You can extract it via his dashboard > User Summary > search for your ID or name > then go to Received Merit TXs. You can find there the thread where you posted your reply as well as the user that give you your first merit. You can click the three lines there to put it in ascending or descending order so you can easily find it. Credits all to DdmrDdmr it is really a great tableau.

Sure. I remembered the man who sent me single merit for the first time. He is TRan7, merited my post: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.45817169. Actually, I was surprised that simple thread got the first merit. Anyway, I appreciated it so much.

well in the WO thread when no one knew what they were at 1st (the initial airdrop) we were sending to each other hoping they might blow up or something.

like "THERE! sent you a merit!!! enjoy it, whatever that is"

then "oh yeah, well take THAT!! 20 for you" etc.

yes, we are children over there.

Very nice and fun to read the comments of the users remembering their first merit received.
Those who sent them merit will be happy with this.

Oh my first Merit.. that was such a long time ago, I don't even remember how life was during that time.. good old times.. Haha just kidding, I am pretty new here in the forum and I got my first Merit on the 14th of January from 1miau. Thanks for that buddy  Smiley! I really appreciate, you gave me a good start in the forum.

Damn I am such a newbie, I don't even had to look it up on BPIP, since I haven't been here for 120 days. Arghhh..  Cheesy.

There are lies, damned lies and statistics. MTwain
I do recall it quite clearly, although I have revised it a few times to prove a point (i.e. it took me over a month and a half to receive my first merit), so the memory is more vivid. As with @JSRAW, @Paxmao was person behind (no pun intended).

Yes I have to remember it and this is my first merit sent by "Cuero". [Diskusi] Menata Legalitas Cryptocurrency di Indonesia.
It seems like now everyone doesnt have to bother searching for posts where their first merit gets. BPIP gives us the ease to find out with step: https://bpip.org/smerit.aspx?to=your username and you will see who sent the first merit to you and its at the end of the list. Wink
Please try and it is truly amazing.

Wow!  I haven't visited the bpip site in a long time, and I just had to check who sent me my first merit.  It was a member by the name of shesheboy, who wasn't exactly a fan of mine (and hasn't been active in a while):

i was thinking a long time ago that the pharmacist and actmyname are both controlled and farmed by the same person.
that is a genius idea lauda. i see that is already happened to the pharmacist as he nows a member of chipmixer because darkstar gave him a permenent spot in order to avoid the competition and wont be biased to anyone else. i think darkstar did a good job there to help stop the evil of the pharmacist or maybe not? And maybe pharmacist will still continue his good deeds?

Very weird that he merited one of my posts, and I remember thinking it was weird at the time too.  Ah the good old days of the merit system, ya gotta love it.  Also what I remember from back then was that people were getting huge amounts of merits for their posts, even if those posts were just mediocre.  The system was brand new and a lot of people didn't realize how important and valuable merits would become, particularly to lower-ranked members.

Probably very few people can remember who rewarded them with the first merit, and I admit that I am not one of them, yet 2 years have passed since then. Looking at bpip my first merit is come from user AGD for this post.

It might be interesting to see who we sent our first merit, and in my case it is go to theymos for Merit & new rank requirements.

I don't remember who exactly gave me first merit and I'm a bit lazy to check. But I remember that I got after verifying someone's staked Bitcoin address with signed message.

The system of merits of the forum, can not be compared with the likes received on social networks, when a user sends a merit to a publication, thread or comment, it means that their contribution has a value for the community.

This thread is to make a small tribute to the first person who sent you the first merit, he probably believed in your first intervention worthy of receiving merit.

If you do not know or do not remember, on the https://bpip.org/ page enter your username in the search box in the Merit Information section, click on "Earned" and you will see all your merit history received.

- Who sent you the first Merit?
