When the merit system was established, I still needed 40 days to reach Sr.member rank, but I was able to reach it after 3 months. 90 days.
suchmoon has already given you a really nice boost 
It is impressive to know how many sMerits for this account per month. He has spent more than 18951. 
LTU_btc, some users like you did not profit from merit system timing, after years of old system you are pushed back to earn Legendary rank that was at your fingertips. I have reached to Legendary rank before merit system is introduced, but I wait for that moment until I reached 900+ activity.
I believe you will become Legendary sooner or later, it's just a matter of merits, so I suggest you try to give your best and thus get the attention of merit sources, suchmoon has already given you a really nice boost

One fun thing related to this topic - theymos told that I would have received Legendary status at lowest possible activity. So, I was just one week away from Legendary rank when merit system was released lol.
I remember that conversation a few months back, and remember thinking how you must have felt gypped. Oh well, water under the bridge. It is nice to have a goal, and I'm sure you'll make it in due time.
I remember seeing similar activity calculator few years, but now I can't find, maybe it doesn't works anymore. After release of merit system, activity isn't such important thing anymore, but it's still interesting to check estimated date when you can rank up. So, thanks for making it.

we can consider the 75th to 90th percentile as that's where most of the (non-extreme) high-quality posters should reside. That might bring a better daily merit number.
Here's the earned Merit of each userID (until last Friday). If it's 0, that means the user only sent Merit without receiving any. It's quite easy to make a Pareto chart out of this. 
I gave it a go trying to forecast the date of ranking for each merited person back in October 2018 (all remaining ranks to Legendary, asuming 775 Activity as the base for the latter to simplify), based on merit per day and posts per day. Although at the time I had the data per person, I only published the aggregates and the forecast for 2019 Legendries.
It’s pretty much nearly impossible to predict with a good rate of (rough) success, since gaining merits is rather variable, and the projection estimated on a linear average based on the previous four months or so. Fun to do at the time though, although lengthly (see Analysis – Personal merit per day, merit per post and ranking-up projections).

Last Friday, 30410 users had received at least 1 Merit. In total, 460749 Merit had been sent. That's 15.15 Merit on average.
I don't think this is a very useful number though
Every statistic is useful... it's just how you approach it.I don't think this is a very useful number though
We can probably model a Pareto distribution when it comes to earned merit and despite what people may like to believe, this is not evidence of any circling. Certainly, not everyone will earn as much as Loyce but we can consider the 75th to 90th percentile as that's where most of the (non-extreme) high-quality posters should reside. That might bring a better daily merit number.
Even just a guess at 1 merit per day (which is certainly very possible) means that a brand new user will be able to rank up to Legendary by the time they hit the cap.
If the question shifts to, "why such a high requirement," then the answer is clearly: "Legendary status should not be given to everyone. It is for those that deserve it."
Of the space of users that have earned 1 or more merit, what is the average merit earned?

Now this is something for the scrapeBots:
Of the space of users that have earned 1 or more merit, what is the average merit earned?
With that metric, divide by the number of days since they earned their first merit and average the totals.
We could have an estimation for the merit requirements as well.
Definitely not going to be an insane uphill battle considering (with current numbers) each new member would have a little under 34 months to accumulate 0.13975% of all newly-generated merit. This is even discounting any subsequent merit sends (i.e. true sMerit as opposed to source sMerit).
At current rates we can make 62 Legendary members each month (in raw merit value) if we truly wanted to.

I was bored, so I put together a simple calculator to predict the date of the next Activity milestone for increasing rank. The spreadsheet assumes consistent activity to the dates it calculates, and your post count is equal to or higher than the required activity. Of course there are still those pesky merit requirements one must achieve.
To use it, enter the date of your most recent bump in activity score, and your current activity points in the yellow fields.
And, without further ado, the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-QJgAw9oZ0Rf6Y5uE53d3koEbgP4BoZaTsF6toJBAJY/edit?usp=sharing
