This is now updated with the latest data, 22th of June.
In general i'm trying to keep it updated weekly as the data is released.

After i made this graph (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/merit-data-visualization-storytelling-full-interactive-data-3312945) where you could see for each section in the forum where the merit were distributed, i decided to do something similar, to show who actually gives most merits for each board and with which frequency.
This combination is a good indication to identify active users in a particular board, which are reading posts and awarding merits.
I compiled a list of the top 30 users for each board of the forum.
Top 30 Merit per board: https://albertoit.github.io/Visualization/MeritTreemap/index.html
--snip--
it says Babo (84 Tx), so he has been giving in average ~1 merit per post, looks good
I invite everyone to play around, have a look into boards you know and see if any name comes up, in particular in the Local one, or simply use the tool to satisfy your curiosity.

When i found some minuts i try to apply

Is not easy to find the most appropiate way to show the data or make it available sometimes, in particular when there are multiple dimensions, but i understand it may not be the most intuitive way
As to using it for detecting possible Merit Sources, I still believe that the sMerit network size needs to be considered as a primal indicator over awarded sMerit, in order to avoid identifying as potentials those that award to alts and so on. Regardless, nice tool.
The merit network looks indeed interesting and i would like to find a way to be able to navigate it under the shape of a tool, but for the moment has proven to be quite hard to do since there is ton of data to show there, which could easily melt a pc.
Yes that i can do. I saw LoyceV has an update list he is sharing i may use that.

It would be good to fix it and see all the usernames.

Nice work. OP, I checked Japanese local board and found that several accounts including me are not shown by username but by account id numbers. It would be good to fix it and see all the usernames.

Truly speaking i like statistic very much.
You had to work hard for long time to analyze all data. But this interface and the way to submit this result not very clear and not attractive for me (agree with nc50lc). Sorry it only my private opinion.
I think the main task of such type of work is a representativity.
But lots of merits were sent and seems people like it.
Btw well done!

There's no clear user interface or guidelines, so it's quite not user-friendly. Not for me, at least.
These might help the visitors:
Can you add a space where the small merit senders are listed?
These might help the visitors:
- If the box is light blue (which is a link as default in HTML pages), it is clickable and expandable.
- To Zoom out, click the top row (current position/location) which highlights in orange when properly hovered by the mouse pointer.
Because sometimes, it seems like not responding to clicks. - I works with a javascript and some users set their browser's javascript disabled, some may report issues.

DdmrDdmr now you should be able to see yousrself as well, your userid is appearing ( username was not mapped)
Yep, I saw the fix this morning (first thing I read!). Seems fine now. It’s fun to use and visual to see forum active awarders. DdmrDdmr now you should be able to see yousrself as well, your userid is appearing ( username was not mapped)

Good work, topic starter. But such kind of representation has a disadvantage. When the user count is large, there is no place on the page to show all of their names. As a result, some user names are superposing on each other, and none of these user names is readable. In fact they are shown as a black spots full of letters. It usually happens in the most right bottom corner of the board. I guess you need to omit some user names in these cases. Or you can show the user list in the text format below of the board.

This is really cool! Thank you for making this
EDIT; How accurate is this? 100%? After browsing through my native board (collectibles) I found some names there that I never see in any threads or replies. Might just be me missing out when and where they gave out merit but would be interesting to know.

There was indeed a problem with the conversion userid - username, my list had some problem when i generated it, so some user would pop up where didn't belong.
Now seems i got the right one in, if you see a number is just the user id of the forum
This is now updated to 25th of May, so it may change a little but still show the right tendency to spot active people.

Please also add option to go back or drill up.
Also, though I'm one of the top merit-givers in Meta, I'm not a merit source. You would be mistaken if you drew that conclusion--it just so happens that it's my favorite section and the one in which I see the best posts, so I've given the large majority of sMerits for posts there.
The basic idea would be exactly to spot people like you or like the person in the example i have given in the Italian section, people that are not merit source, but being avctive on a certain board, could become quite an effective one.
...
I need to have a better look if there is some problem for some cases, for the moment if the big givers are pointed out then can serve some purpose

I've debugged the Spanish board a bit further (may as well put my tool's update to use right?). In the "Esquina Libre" subsection I've encountered for example:
- Dihari (1 Merit): This user is Indonesian, so I thought it strange that he would be related to the Spanish Board. I checked all the posts he merited and there are no Spanish posts there.
- Kinsey (1 Merit): Merited someone in the Ann Section, but that's it.
- Kisk (7 sMerits): Has awarded a total of 4 sMerits in the miming section, but not 7 in the Spanish board.
Something seems wrong ..

OP, I'm trying to find myself on the Spanish Boards and have not been able to. I've awarded over 15 sMerits in all there, and in the subsections I see users with 1Tx onwards, therefore I should be able to see myself there shouldn't I?
You got me wondering if Jet Cash is awarding more to my local board than me ... I hope so, but I'm still intrigued as to why I'm not there.

can it be that was in different child board under it? In that case would not be appearing as a total but would be spread around, this way you can see most effective people on each individual board/child board.
I should have a look at rhe raw data otherwise to be sure
Please also add option to go back or drill up.
That option is already there. All you have to do is click on the top (header row above all the rectangles).
This definitely is excellent work by the OP.
Yes to go back just click the header on the top, it should highlight when you move your mouse over

That would be nice, yes.I like the data presentation for the most part, but I'm also seeing a bunch of empty blocks and I'm not sure if that's all there is.

You would be mistaken if you drew that conclusion--it just so happens that it's my favorite section and the one in which I see the best posts, so I've given the large majority of sMerits for posts there.
The other users who dwarf me in terms of merits given out (like Vod, TMAN, Foxpup, and suchmoon), yeah I'd suspect they're merit sources even though they're also some of the top merited users and thus would have a lot of sMerits to give. I don't know who's come out of the closet as sources and who hasn't, so I could be stating the obvious. Nice job with the data. I likey-likey.

I've neither been able to find you, even when I appear when I'm not so active in our local. Maybe some stats are wrong.
Crystal clear, JC needed to become a merit source, he's active in many boards and active in the giving-away activity. But, still, some of the data seems to be missing.

I just seem toget a lot of empty rectangles. Do I need to enable something to view the figures?
Mouse over on a rectangles and it will show you merits given in particular board.
Drilldown (click) and you will see the merit counts with sender name.
Good work OP.
I guess legend is required and colors would make this graph more amazing.
