I'll let it slide for a bucket of ice cream. And you're wrong anyway.
You want something weird with it, like pickles?

Yes. And:

Mustard



So there is another wrinkle thrown into this whole thing and this qualifies as a hint so feel free to guess again. Someone got caught cheating.

Ok. Since one of the three inputs from eddie is right, excluding bones261, either actmyname or something to do with merits have to be correct.

But few guesses have already exhausted the possibility of actmyname. So most probably something to do with merit is correct. My next guess is lovesmayfamilis. He's pretty active in altcoin section.

I'd say bones261 meriting Welsh on Meta.

There are two potential posts from around a year ago which fit that criteria, one about censorship and one about voting. Is it cheating that I found these two posts using BPIP?

I missed the bit on the first page where you said the post was only merited by a single user, so I change my guess to this one: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.49160405

All you need to do is figure out why I merited eddie13's post in this thread and scroll up a little bit.

Ok, a couple more notes.

You don't need to try to guess the exact URL. I've sent two merits in this thread so there is clearly only one of the three items still unknown but even if you guess all three it still wouldn't be enough to identify the post. It's far easier to just find the missing piece and not worry about the exact post.

All you need to do is figure out why I merited eddie13's post in this thread and scroll up a little bit.

Does that statement count as a "clue" allowing another guess?

Yes, feel free.

It sounds like you are playing the numbers game.
Yeah basically..

They didn't guess correctly but not for the reason you stated. "dead giveaway" is an expression: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dead_giveaway

Looks like I hit 2/3 somehow miraculously, bones is correct getting morvillz7z a merit (beat me by less than 1 minute), and the guess wasn't correct but not for the reason of board and topic? actmyname being the last incorrect part?

I guess none of actmyname & hosseinimir93 guess is correct since in the second post of this topic suchmoon has hinted out the post was a giveaway thread/post where bones261 handed out the merit. None of the post you 2 linked is about giveaway.

This shouldn’t be difficult for anyone with access to all the merit sent and knows what they are doing.

Without looking at any data, I would say the merit was given a year+ ago if there have been 180k posts merited to date. I don’t see anyone reasonably guessing without access to the all time merit data.

Edit:

.

I'll guess the 100kth merited post was made by actmyname, merited by bones261, and ironically in the meta board something to do with the topic of merits..

Well done, only one piece missing and it should be an extremely easy one for anyone paying attention.

10/18=0.555 so a little less than half way back in the history of merits..

And judging by the slight declining trend of merits..
The time series plot (of full dataset) shows a spike on 16/9/2018.

I'd have to take a WAG that the 100,000th post merited happened around a year ago, or at the very least longer than the merit summaries pages keep track of them, therefore I have about zero chance of finding it..

I'll guess the 100kth merited post was made by actmyname, merited by bones261, and ironically in the meta board something to do with the topic of merits..

    • The sender of the merit is an occasional WO participant, not active recently.

    No, but you're on to something here. Can't divulge more as it would make too easy for others so let's see where this gets us. Feel free to post a new guess since I did give a teeny tiny new hint.

    As you are asking about 100000th merited post not 100000th merit and the sender of the merit, so that post has received merit only from one user.
    Am I right?

    Yes, 100000th post of ~180k merited posts.

    Good deduction on your part and there is one more piece of information you can extract from that.
