Is there a provision for increasing available merit every year by some amount? This is needed because new members are also joining the forum daily and thus the available merits quantity should be adjusted accordingly.

You don't seem to explain what you really want correctly, is it for individual users or the merit sources? For the merit sources, I think that two things are constantly changing behind the scenes, and they are the DT status and the merits allocations. The two are being upgraded and downgraded for users at some time, so what you might be asking is being fixed.

However, do not forget that adding merits to the ones the merit sources are getting monthly doesn't and will not change the merits reaching you, the forum's current system will make sure of that, except that those who have been getting it before will get it even more. The only thing that can make a huge change is a complete overhauling of it.

People join the forum and there are other members leave the forum. I can't say the In is bigger than Out or oppositely.

Merit is dropped to merit sources every month and the forum does not lack of merit for distribution. What needs is quality of post and quality posts will get merit, non quality posts will not get merit.

If a poster makes many non quality posts and don't get any merit, it does not mean the forum does not have enough merit for distribution.

The last collective update to the list of merit sources was about two or three years ago, and since then this list has been updated case by case and I think the last update was last December, when Symmetrick/Ratimov stopped posting.
Over the past year, a number of sources have been added or removed, but as I mentioned, it is case by case.
If you think there is a problem with the distribution of Merit in a particular board, you can obtain more statistics and post them here. I believe that merit sources will help (at least I am willing to cooperate)

After looking at the stats created by DdmrDdmr, there's a decline on the last month, previously it's stays around 5K-ish. There were few merit sources inactives, passed away, or any other personal reasons that could be the reason why the merit is declining, but I believe the forum didn't lack of sMerit.

It's because there are not many posts deserved to be merited because most of the posts I read on the last month always discuss about DCA and price predictions that has been discussed multiple times. Although there's an another reason that some users tend to give merit on their gangs, locals, friends etc.

Merit is adjusted when there is a major drop in the amount of meeit shared, not just because "new people" keep coming in as even more people are leaving/being less active. For example, in 2023 total number of posts dropped by almost 30% compared to the year before, while number of merit shared remained pretty much the same, which means its even easier than before to get merit.

The only time when theymos adjust this is when he notices major drop in the amount of merit shared and that number has been pretty consistent for the last few years.

I don't know how much total smerit is being auto-generated for merit sources, but if you combine all the smerit together, both the merit source and the ones the members earn, and half of it is brought in as sendable, I think it should be more than enough to serve the community.

Even if the admin decides to increase the number for the source on a daily basis, it's left to the source to either distribute it or not; if it's being stored in one place, then the purpose for it won't be served.

Giving merit out to someone is just a choice and not a compulsory action, but still, I don't see the point in holding back merit in any way. If you see posts that deserve merit, you don't need to be a source before you can merit them.

The forum admin increases spendable merits to some existing merits sources from time to time on request or depending on how active the merit source has been. Other times new merit sources are approved but this doesn't happen every day or every week. We have to wait until he acts again. I think that time is about to happen.

Lightning network is good with small amount of BTC

Theymos is giving certain amount of smerits to merit sources every month. Merit sources can send some of the smerits to quality posts.
