Few weeks ago I was thinking to apply to be a merit source but after looking so many pending requests, I decided not to apply now. Not at least theymos starts approving some of the applications given by the users from last more than a year. Do we know when did we have our last new merit source?
joker_josue is a good candidate to flourish local board. I hope you get accepted.
Good luck brother.
If you think you can be a source of merit, you should apply. I also had some fears, but I realized that the important thing is to show this availability. Whether we're going to be accepted or not is another matter. The important thing is to demonstrate that we want to help the community and do what we can to keep it growing. Now give me my share is to wait and see what happens. Now is to wait for Theymos to devote time to this folder and evaluate all applications. And you may have the privilege of being accepted.

I could be wrong.... TheBeardedBaby gathered them in one thread. Yet you are wrong. The last time new merit source assignments were in early July 2021. At that point, 14 new merit sources were assigned, I remember exactly the assignment of dkbit98, Julien_Olynpic, NotATether, etc. In 2021, the long-awaited merit-correction took place, which was organized by theymos. New Merit Sources have been assigned, and the monthly Merit Bank has been increased for all active Merit Sources. Oh heck yeah. Thanks for the correction. I was talking about This thread by TheBeardedBaby. That's all I get from his thread. Also, forum search and google search both don't show those applications for me. Or maybe I don't know how to search properly. I was going to post on his thread and link to this thread. But, look like there were a few more applications in the last two years. I am not sure if I am aware of them. So, I gave up after seeing your post.

I could be wrong. But, If I am not mistaken, The last accepted merit source was Ratimov. That was long ago. 30-Oct-19 was the application date and it was approved without even comments from the community (Lucky one). We had five approved merit sources in 2019. Ratimov, Royse777, fillippone, 1miau, Heisenberg_Hunter. Not sure if all of them still are merit sources. Ratimov's activity decreased a bit when it comes to merit distribution. We have another 13 pending Merit Source Applications. TheBeardedBaby gathered them in one thread.

Congratulations joker_josue for your application. I am not from your Portuguese locals but I am very sure I have seen your names severally in this forum making good contributions. I am also amazed at the fact that you have been around here since 2013. That is about 7yrs. This should simply mean that anything giveable you honestly ask for in this forum should be given you. I am also encouraged to see your stat of activiness in the forum and merit sharing.
I cannot say more than this about you because I don't know much about you, but for being passionate about the forum for 7yrs and still counting shows that you mean well for the forum.
If theymos wants to consider, he will consider you, although there are other good applications not approved yet.

joker_josue, as far as I can see, you are very active on the forum, and you are a respected member of the community.
In principle, I always support proposals for more merit sources in local communities, so that the posts of local members get merits for their contribution to the forum.
You have my full support, but experience teaches me that you will have to be patient and wait for the right moment when theymos decides that the time has come to promote new merit sources.
Good luck with your application!

I am not a well-recognized or elite person. I don't know if my opinion matters at all. You are one of the most active out of 10 (Nine actually- Except ChartBuddy). If you write more, That means you have to read more to do a healthy discussion, and I believe you do. I would say you deserve to be a merit source. So, I support your merit source application.

Most of the time we do not notice but in local boards so many things too to notice. We only notice them once they are in English boards. It amaze me when I see some users from local boards with good contribution and earned a lot of merit in a signature campaign.
Ain't that the truth. I have no sense of how active the local boards are, since unfortunately I don't speak any language other than English, but the Turkish board for example has made their presence known (though not in an entirely positive way) in the past when some members posted in the English section. And I know damn well that bitcoin is popular the world over, so it makes sense that some of the local sections are buzzing with activity. OP, I definitely support your application, and I hope Theymos considers it. We lost a merit source somewhere along the way, and we probably needed to add a few anyway. Even if your merit-giving is targeted primarily at the Portuguese community, I think that's a good thing. More merit sources, Theymos!!

Thank you for your support. That's what I'm going to keep doing, using the merits I have, in the best possible way.

110 merit sources in a forum of over 3.4 million members is rather too small, way way smaller than I even imagined, I did not forget the fact that majority of those 3.4 million members are newbies, but I think more merit sources are needed not withstanding. The number of users doesn't mean anything: many of them are never used because of evil fees, many are spambots, many are banned, many are bounty spammers and many others don't deserve Merit anyway. Fivestar4everMVP, I agree with what LoyceV said; the number of profiles is not important for some of the reasons above. But if you check bpip, then you will definitely see that there are only 57,950 active users on the forum in the last 3 months. Think half of them are newbie and bounty hunters, so 110 merit source seems enough to be expected to make the current merit system work although some additional merit source are also needed in the local board.  I quoted DdmrDdmr data from last september 2 to show here too. Updated the Merit Dashboard to reflect the most recent sMerit available data:
Total sMerit: 1.285.279
Total TXs: 691.708

To Users: 44.190

I am glad to see that you finally decided to apply for a merit source status as Portuguese local board could certainly use one more, judging by your merit/post ratio which is below average for a local board, info which I often mentioned in my local boards overview. You being one of the most active members on the forum is certainly another big plus so good luck with your application!
I am grateful for your support. I think you were one of the ones that motivated me to make this application. Bitmover too, and the two of you were primarily responsible for being here now. Now it's just a matter of waiting how it goes. Maybe a year from now, I'll earn this privilege.

I don't think that happens much in the English sections, but it could very well be the case on some of the local boards.
I think that's what sometimes happens, in some local boards. For some, the fact that they have difficulties in English does not motivate them to participate outside the local board of their language. If on your board, there are few sources of merits or no sources of merits, you may have a harder time leveling up. Yes, you are right mates, there are a lot of users who are worthy enough to receive merits but they can't receive merits. On every local board, there are many merits worthy threads written in their language because of the reason that they are not a good English speaker. Merit source in every local board is very important to motivate his/her fellow countrymen to create more quality threads written in their languages. Therefore, I congratulate the various sources of merit, who occasionally visit local boards (even when they don't know that language) in search of good topics/posts Yes and one of those generous merit sources who visited in local boards is LoyceV as I experience that he gave some merits in my local boards Philippines, I don't know if he understand my language but still I admire him.

By saying the total number of Merit sources isn't enough, you're basically saying there are people who deserve to rank up, but are limited by Merit.

Joker appeared suddenly, as LoyceV pointed out, and his posting activity is really impressive. He is online 24/7, posting in every topic.
It is true that I was not very participative before 2021, but I have always maintained some presence on the forum since 2013. Now it is undeniable that since 2021, I must have made more than 5500 posts.  Now there are only 110 merit sources, so if theymos wants then the number will grow soon.

Really 110 sources of merit, seems to be a small number for the size of the forum. But also, if the idea is to maintain a reasonable criterion in the attribution of merits, so as not to become something banal, the number cannot be extremely large either. I can even think that it should be a higher number, but there is certainly a set of valid criteria to be so. Thanks for the support: @bitmover @_BlackStar @Fivestar4everMVP

I am also a very active member in the portuguese board since I joined this forum in 2018. Joker appeared suddenly, as LoyceV pointed out, and his posting activity is really impressive. He is online 24/7, posting in every topic. I believe he is a good option for a merit source. He certainly reads every post in the portuguese board. I also read every post of that board, but I really miss another merit source there. We can see that merit post ratio of portuguese board is very low. There was a spike recently, but we are still low in merit ratio

Good Luck @joker_josue, you have my support, the only thing remains that notwithstanding the number of support you get from us as 'normal' users, only one support counts in this case, and that's from Theymos, i hope he supports you, definitely it won't come quick, except a miracle happens,  because there are quite a lot of merit source applications waiting in the pipeline to be accepted, but nevertheless just be patient mate. Good Luck once again. Patience is something I don't lack! So I'll be waiting, but with a lot of tranquility. In addition to other applications being analyzed, Theymos is a very busy person. So it's knowing how to wait.  Also, I believe that now, there will be more scrutiny for what I do, especially the merits I use. So it's about continuing to do my best in this field and helping the community at large. Thanks for the support. @Coyster @CryptoHeadlineNews @Doan9269

With your experience on the forum, contributions you've engaged and the earned pedigree of trust i have in you to deliver upto expectation as a merit source, am also very well convinced that you will do justice in the discharge of your responsibilities as a merit source not only to your locale or users you're familiar with but to every member who is a good quality poster to this forum, just as some believed that if you're to know a quality poster, then check on his history and see the caliber of those that merit his account, i believe you've got lot to offer to the forum if the opportunity is given being a merit source, i wish you all the very best with your application and enough endurance while you await the results to your application and lastly, i wish you a calm spirit of wisdom, if your application is successful because you will have lot of encounters from the forum members as a merit source.

So, however, the merit source system was created to help encourage people who are providing valuable content to the forum, of which the Portuguese shouldn't be left out since Bitcoin is for everyone and everybody deserves a fair share of the forum motivation. So henceforth, I wish you the best of luck in your application for Merit source

You may want to adjust this, posting an English topic right after saying you'll only post Portuguese topics looks weird.
It really is true. It doesn't seem to make sense. It was an exception to the rule. There is a topic about this in Portuguese. But, I thought it would make more sense to post the original version in English. As I had already written that sentence, before posting the topic, I didn't notice that I had put "only Portuguese". I apologize for the lapse. I already adjusted this info in the topic. having spent a few moments in the past, a little further away That's an understatement, there's a 4 year "gap" in your resume between 2017 and 2021. This is your Merit history since 2018: Yes it's true, I was further away from the forum during this period without a doubt. It is clear that with this removal he cannot contribute merits, not least because he did not receive them either. But as soon as I became active again, since 2021, I try to share the merits I have available. I've been curious for a while now: what do you mean with "I'm BTC" in your personal text? Is that a typo?
It might be In BTC since 2013 :-) Even typing error. English is not my strong point and sometimes google translate does these things.  I entered the Bitcoin world in 2013. And the registration on this forum is proof of that, you can't forget it. Thanks for the help Royse777.
