Topic: LoyceV's Merit data analysis (full data since Jan. 24, 2018; not just 120 days) - page 27. (Read 38873 times)

So, only 9725 users sent at least 1 their sMerit. I think ir's too small number and it shows that there are still so many users who aren't aware about Merit system. Bitcointalk has much more active users, if I'm not mistaken ~100k (you need to sign in to your account at least once per month to be considered as active user). Sometimes I'm checking spammy boards like Altcoin discussion, Bounties, Politics & Society and etc, then I open random profiles of Full Members and above, and guess what - mostly of these users haven't sent any single sMerit. Some users complaining that "Merit system aren't generating enough sMerit", "good posts aren't Merited" and etc. But how you can complain when people aren't using their sMerit first of all?
It will be interesting to see more data analysis posted.

Theymos made raw Merit data available:
I've been playing around a bit with the data, and in this topic I'll post anything worth noting. I would like to update this continuously from Recent merits, but that's for another day.

But, what I really wanted to create, is a list of users who earned (or bought) enough Merits to reach the next rank. This is also an indication of how well the Merit system performs.

TODO

Users who have already ranked up after earning Merits
Starting Rank (Merit), Current Rank (Merit), Current Activity

Users who have enough Merit to rank up once they get enough Activity
Current Rank, Current Merit, Current Activity

Users who received Merit, but not enough to reach the rank that fits their Activity

Total Merit received per Rank

Number of users per Rank who have received at least 1 Merit
