The data only relates to users involved in an sMerit Transaction, so users who have neither sent nor received sMerit are not part of the scope of study.
Bare in mind that graphs show which Ranks receive more sMerit from a given Rank. This is often logical due to the amount of user per Rank.
Note: Rank is not the Rank that the user had at the time of sending each sMerit (which would be desirable, but way more complex), but the current Rank of each user. Therefore, the data presented is a good aproximation, but not exact.
Note: It may be interesting to add to the tables the average received per user in a given rank level and a few other fields. I wanted to keep it simple for now, so those may be added later on if required.
The intention is merely statistical, so without further delay, here it goes....
Ranked-up Users
Backtracking the data, we can see who has ranked-up since the Merit Sytem was set in motion:
0 Legendary
4 Hero Members (from Sr. Member)
18 Sr. Members (from Full Member)
39 Full Members (from Member, 3 of them from lower ranks)
975 Members (from Jr Members or lower)
Not too many really given the size of the community. What would be good to know is how many ranked up in 2 months before the system was set in motion to see if this a good pace or not.
Lists of users that ranked up to Hero and Sr Member are provided at the end of this post.
Note: Those are regular ranks (I don't know if Copper Members rank up to let's say Legendary at somepoint).
1. Merit Senders
As expected, sent sMerit is totally correlated to the Senders Rank. Nevertheless, if we compare it to the Merit bare minimun required per Rank, things are not proportional.
For example, Full Member requires 100 Merits and Sr. Member 250 (x2,5). But the difference between those two groups is less than 2 points when it comes to sending sMerit.
Another fact I found astonising, if I'm not wrong, is that only a small portion of sMerit has actually been given away up to now. If we add up all the Merit gained by all users and half-it, we get rougly 1 million sMerit in possesion of users (not counting Merit Sources). Since all TX add up to 111.872 sMerits, it means that only 10,52% has been given out so far.... and that is only adding-up the sMerit from users that have given at least 1 sMerit in this perior of time (more users exist having not yet given any away).
Edit: Included 03/04/2018
Note: Only users that have sent at least 1 sMerit are included in the dataset shown.
2. Merit Receivers
The amount of sMerit received per unique user recreases with rank (this is visible looking at the rable and dividing Merit/numUsersTo. The graph shows more %sMerit received by Full Members and Members, but they are the larger groups so it´s logical.

Special Ranks I figure don't follow the same ranking up rules. Nevertheless, out of the 133 Copper Member with a sMerit Tx, 15 stand out for having earned more than 50 sMerits:
