Topic: Who will be the first user to reach 10,010 activity? (Read 2248 times)

The problem seems to be that the name "Get Cash" may be more apposite. This is the unfortunate state of the modern Internet.

I found something probably wrong:
- shitposters will not able to get thousands of merits (15k) like this.
- making thousands of posts (583k) likely cause permanent ban due to plagiarism. Most of shitposters end with permanent bans.

If you turn into someone like this, you should ask theymos to change the account name from Jet Cash to Jet Trash. I just kidding.  

With the Internet, we can all indulge our fantasies.


[REALITY CHECK]
It isn't going to be me if I continue to make rubbish posts like this.

You can have a look at Vod's BPIP site for information - check it out.

Wow, glad to see some users that are doing well in the forum. This is not very common thing to happen in the forum with this users around that is already in the doing here from the start of the bitcoin forum. Well just wish to know also who were the users with huge activities in the forum. It will definitely help especially in their feedback with the changes regarding with the past and present of the forum.

 In a few decades when the reward gets too small, the merit will become the main compensation for users.  I'm sure that in 20 years there will either be very large active or no activity.

I am much much behind you people.
Though I do not expect and do not see any possibility to become number one in achieving this goal.  But today I have determined that I will try my best to visit the forum daily without fail.  And I pray that both I and the forum are alive after 27 years (I pray for all of you friends too), then I maybe able to complete the task in  say 28 years or more provided I am present and posting here daily.

When someone reach the threshold at 10.010 activity count, they will get the new rank / badge, something like 'Elite'?
I think that the threshold at 10.010 is more appropriate one, than 2000.
Why?
Even, by now, Hero and Ledgendary ranks have same rights in the forum, so I think we should have an extremely high threshold for next rank.
The next rank, probably gives forum members who have it, a more respectful view from others (no more rights/ priviledges).

Infrequent bump.

This needs more precise numbers, dates, and times.  On the unverified assumption that theymos (uid 35) has the oldest consistently active, still-active account, I have calculated based on him.  In addition to the precise timestamp at or after which theymos may exceed 10k activity, I have also included that at which theymos will become eligible to exceed one million activity:  24 November 4748 (a Wednesday) at 12:40:00 UTC.  Rank:  The Mega-Activity Club!

(Dang.  Now, theymos will make garbage posts whining about how slow it is to rank up.)

The following states the timestamps at or after which theymos could instantly reach the stated activity level, if his post count exceeds his activity by not less than 14.  On that condition, his activity would actually reach the stated level upon his next post at or after that time.

1046	2010-02-08 20:13:20 (Monday)	Start of activity period 1046
	2010-02-09 12:49:38 (Tuesday)	theymos’ account registered:  uid 35 forum birthday!
	2010-02-10 06:31:40 (Wednesday)	theymos’ first post
1047	2010-02-22 20:20:00 (Monday)	Start of activity period 1047
...	...	...
1254	2018-01-30 19:20:00 (Tuesday)	theymos became elgible to reach 2926 activity, his actual current activity, at start of activity period 1254 (1046 + 209 - 1).  Calculated to confirm that he thus far has not missed nor underfilled any activity periods.

1760	2037-06-26 03:33:20 (Friday)	theymos may become eligible to reach 10010 activity at the start of activity period 1760 (1046+715-1).
...	...	...
72474	4748-11-24 12:40:00 (Wednesday)	theymos may become eligible to reach 1000006 activity at the start of activity period 72474 (1046 + 71429 - 1).

Activity epochs are as calculated using a little C program I whipped up.  All times are given in UTC.

That’s setting the bar too low.

There are users such as theymos whose leadership status naturally draws (and deserves) floods of merit; theymos will probably reach 10k merit in a matter of months.

Even ignoring such special cases:  In my experience, an excellent poster who can devote huge amounts of time to the forum should conservatively expect to average about 20–25 merits per day.  That equates to 10k merits in 400–500 days.  Unless I need to reduce the time I spend on the forum (as is quite possible), I will be disappointed in myself if I fail to surpass 10k merit before I reach Hero rank.

(It is for this reason I advocate at least doubling or trebling the merit threshold to achieve Legendary rank.  Even for people who can’t devote so much time to posting, to earn 1000 merit in a few years is far too easy to be considered “Legendary”.)

To match the spirit of the original question about 10k activity, it is necessary to kick it up an order of magnitude:  Who will be the first user to achieve 100k merit?  Again excluding special cases such as theymos, estimating at the above-stated rate, and rounding very roughly, that should take about 11–14 years.

Bear in mind that theymos will reach his eighth forum-birthday next week, and there should be some other consistently active accounts of comparable age.  With that perspective—or really, an adult perspective, 11–14 years is not terribly long.

(I will be horrifically disappointed if I fail to achieve one megamerit by the year 2155!  —Well, actually not.  But it’s a fun thought.)

Thanks for the merit! Really appreciate it, I'm now 9997 merits away from being the 1st member to reach 10k merit LOL

Let me be the first one to guess. I guess it will be ...

(1) theymos
(2) satoshi - any random topic
(3) Pizza Bitcoiner (laszlo)


You're right. I actually didn't think of this until you said it. You deserve a merits. And maybe this post will be the first post to break theymos topic and reach ten thousand merits - well, the chances isn't that high though. xD.

As far as I know BCT will keep both Activity and Merit.
Correct me if I am wrong, even a Newbie with 1 quality post can reach 10k merit if 1k people gave 10 merit each but reaching 10,010 activity is still exclusive to active Legendary members.

In my opinion, instead of renaming the thread, it is more relevant to have a new thread instead. 

I might have to rename the thread "Who will reach Merit of 10,000 ??"

The new forum software might be ready before then meaning old activity measures may well be retired. 

I'm just about to overtake some other legendary UID's who've gone silent in recent times.

Positions can change over time, even BitCoin is having something of a Renaissance of sorts nudging closer to $ 2,000 USD every day.

I consider your idea rather smart or stupid. Yes you can stimulate their motivation for the prize but thinking about you will gwt it for what? 20 years?! Who can wait that long for an amazon card! You can earn here by signature campaign and buy yourself that card in less than 20 years. Plus, who runs a contest for 20years? Maybe the dares you and your buddies take.

introduce some kind of a prize to stimulate people
like: post for the next 20 years every 2 weeks and get a free Amazon card!
also topics like this are usually fun to read after several years have passed,just look at the pizza for bitcoins topic

How about the other admins were they not part of the top 10?

Lol i just also realized that i would still have to wait more than 25 years before i could get that certain activity that is pretty hard and aside from that i would also be very old to post here lol

or a minute for theymos
