They use Let's Encrypt's free certificates from what I can tell; their certificates can be easily auto renewed and this is encouraged (which is one of the reasons their validity is short).

I am not well informed so i have no statement about it.

You don't need to make a statement; I know what I'm talking about as this is literally the same setup that I've been using for a very long time.

I used to use HostGator for my hosting previously later I found out that they do not allow to modify the mod_security function. I tried to explain why It is important for me but they have their terms which I had to accept. On the other hand, I have to run my business too. So, I decided to move from them. I had to chose one who allows mod_security to modify.

In reality, most of the big service providers provide modification of mod_security but in this case hostgator had something different in mind.

They are hosted on Vultr (at least the front-end is), there should be no such restrictions for their VPSes.

Could this be a security feature, so that the site can't be used for long if the server is taken (by authorities)?

No. The authorities could trivially issue another certificate from Let's encrypt if they had control of the server. It requires you to just run 1 command.

I am not well informed so i have no statement about it. But what I know is that there are different kind of SSLs to serve different purpose. When you buy SSL from a service provider then they may not necessarily provide the auto renewal feature.

It's kind of how someone wants to run their service. Every single providers have their own choice.

It happens once in a while, I think the certificate is only valid for 3 months.

So they aren't even able to automate the renewal; that doesn't sound good to me.

May be the service provider they are with do not have auto renewal feature. It's a not an uncommon practice. I hope they come back soon. There is nothing to worry at the moment.

Obviously; given that they use free certs this should be trivial.

Yes, seems to me. May be they need to renewal.

Median value is 212 merits earned.

So I'm just about scraping into the marginally-above-average category. Good to know I'm pulling my weight. Grin

Damn has it really climbed that high? I've been doing my best, really, and in the past months trying to "specialise" in an area I'm personally active in - mixed results, if I'm honest. When first started out, was getting it at a steady rate of activity growth (1:1). That gap's been widening but yeah, good to know the guys like us are still... pulling weight. If only marginally!

Did anyone of us expect this when we first joined? Strangely, I only knew about CM because I was pursuing a news story at the time.

It seems an issue to specialise on the forum. You seem to have to be everywhere in order to get merit in large amounts or at least stay on the meta board for large amounts of time which just gets annoying.
There's a merti unbalance between people making info graphics that get merit and people that just moan about parts of the forum and forum members...

The applications in this campaign were very stringent so I wasn't too surprised we'd have a margin. Although to be honest, the margin we have is quite huge. Loyce and ddmr have definitely screwed it, I've not seen much of ddmr but Loyce seems to have deserved the merits he's got.

I didn't expect to be so close to the median either, my earnt merit is quite tiny..

The user with red trust is not being immediately removed, they can have some time to sort it out.

I don't see that red being removed in the near future. However I like the fact you give the members time to deal with it.

Seems like "old" trust ratings are coming back to haunt some people with the big shake up in the DT system.

The neg trust on the user is from over a year ago (Dec 2017), has no reference link and seems to be an "I don't like you" neg trust Undecided

LoyceV, they are probably check last week on spreadsheets, one user is get red trust, and column 7 has an empty place for user name, which is probably just a mistake.

The user with red trust is not being immediately removed, they can have some time to sort it out.

This is exactly why I took my chances.

I have been wanting to join Chipmixer for ages, and hoped this was finally my chance Wink

If you are open to it, I would be willing to take the spot (that is, if you think I am chipmixer material) and "give it back" in the next few months should his red be removed if you would be willing to do that DarkStar_

Sorry for the noise, looks like I offended jackg by getting my hopes up...

Most campaigns out there have merit requirement of 10-20 earned merits. A lot of the best campaigns still have those kind of requisites
The average here is 343, and median 212. That's far above "normal".

Congrats to darkstar and participants

I haven't done the maths, but isn't it not true that from the 50+ users on your campaign, about 5 to 10 probably make over 70% of the total merit of all users in the campaign?

The Top 10 members in the campaign comprise of 9730 merits, out of the total 20196 merits in the campaign (48.2%). I'm excluding myself from that figure. It takes the 22 highest members to reach the 70% figure.

Median value is 212 merits earned. 20 users are above the average (343 merits) earned, and 39 users are below the average. This is what the distribution looks like:

Lol, why so hostile? Is it not true that most other campaigns average at 10 users per campaign? I haven't done the maths, but isn't it not true that from the 50+ users on your campaign, about 5 to 10 probably make over 70% of the total merit of all users in the campaign?

I still said that it's just an observation, and of course all of this is still a good thing, but it makes it very expectable for this campaign to make that much merit. Chill out Cheesy

Apologies if you thought I was acting hostile: I did not intend to have any malicious connotation.

I'm just saying that all you're doing to equalize the campaign's merit earnings compared to other campaigns is essentially stripping away all elements that do bring forth merit to this campaign.

The tautological effect is similar to that of stating that a chocolate bar is healthy if you remove all the sugar, fat, carcinogens and unhealthy substances.

Essentially:

If the campaign did not have users that earned a lot of merit, then it would not be a campaign that earns a high amount of merit.

It just feels like you're making a tautological comparison. Sure, subtracting the merit elements of the campaign would make the campaign hold less merit. That's just by definition.
