Since the new dump of merit transactions has already been published a few hours ago, I updated my post on the
first page.
These users are banned and cannot distribute sMerits:
Hal, laszlo, TERA2, pitipawn, niknik1966, zentdex, SeverusSnegg, wex.nz, oracleongoodbye.
Thanks for the information. I checked them on the BPIP service made by
Vod. It seems that most of them have only been locked. I added
zentdex,
wex.nz and
oracleongoodbye to the list of banned users.
a list of members who have but do not give merits to others.
I think you maybe need to rephrase this. There are people on that list like hilariousetc and DdmrDdmr who have given away hundreds of merits, but because they have earned so many they still have lots available to give. You can't really say that people who are on the list of most generous merit givers of all time are also on the list of people who do not give merit.
You're right.
hilariousetc and
DdmrDdmr earned and distributed a lot of merits. Therefore I edited this sentence. I added the word "immediately".
Maybe OP needs to put one more column with "Last Active:"
Most of the top haven't been online for quite some time and probably will not come back, like Satoshi and Hal.
satoshi,
Hal,
laszlo,
GameKyuubi are ones of the most famous persons in the cryptocurrency world. I think that there is no need to mark their current inactivity on the forum.
The only thing that Op can do is:
[Received merits(-1 if odd number)/2] - Sent merits = merits on Bags.
Yes he needs to put -1, since every 2 merits we have 1 merit generated and we can't have 0.5 merit on bags.
I use the following formula:
AVAILABLE_sMERITS = floor(RECEIVED_MERITS / 2) - SENT_MERITS
"floor()" is a mathematical function:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_and_ceiling_functionsfloor(1 merit / 2) = floor(0.5 merit) = 0 merit
floor(2 merit / 2) = floor(1 merit) = 1 merit
How is the "max" calculated?
"Max" is the all-time high of the amount of sMerits a user has ever had. It is a peak value of the chart.
It’s a rather "unfair" list in my opinion in relation to the objective ("list of members who have but do not give merits to others"), penalizing the greatest Receivers who may in turn be some of the greatest Senders. The list also shows people with barely available 20-30 sMerits, which is not that much really.
Obviously, your merit distribution policy is even and fair. I think that it is normal to have some reserve of sMerits.
600.000 sMerits Initial Airdrop
-274.008 sent sMerits (Merit Sources and regular forum members)
+137.000 Min estimate generated (first halving taken to its maximum theoretical degree, and not accounting for all the other halvings which I cannot estimate)
--------------------------------------------
462.992 Total unsent sMerits (*)
This is really a huge amount of unsent sMerits.
