That is not enough, I think the system is on lacking
Beyond to have much more merit sources, (tipically a merit source cannot give out over a certain amount of merits), why not distribute certain amount of sMerits to have in addition to the earned sMerits from merited posts,
it's will be between regular sMerits earning and becoming merit source
Imagine I don't post much and I own a just little amount of sMerits, when reading a Topic, so I manage te merit some users without meriting the others posts that I think meriting ??!
Or Imagine I think that I'm in need of more sMerits but don't want to become a merit source, Here is what I'm talking about, get the possibility to just have more sMerits in my possession

I don't say that it would be gived randomly, it is not hard to build a tool that make evaluation just by reviewing the history of sent merits!

I think of the possibility getting that both by applying for, or without asking for that after a possible review from mods

Bitcoin = Financial freedom

Those who were awarded smerits to spend every month are called merit sources do you want some changes on it?

Giving it to random people might results in merit abuse.

If you feel that deserved posts are not getting enough merits then you can report it here: Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source

That’s what Merit Sources are for, and some even have a monthly allowance lower than the figures you mention in the packs. Chosen Merit Sources, I figure, require a fair share of trust on @theymos’ behalf (not the profile trust, but trust in terms of being capable of handing it out properly). That’s why there is a procedure in place that allows for a glimpse of what a Merit Source candidate would be meriting, in addition to (probably) the reputation that person has. Packaging sMerits to further extend their reach is not really that different from the above.

If one finds that a specific board is well under-merited, the best is to postulate to become a Merit Source, or to make a clear cut case why that board is lacking a merit source or an increase for those already acting there (i.e. pointing to a (largish) number of (recent) posts that are merit worthy there and are either not merited or under-merited).

Additionally there is this thread: Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source.

There are around 100 merit source at the moment.

And how many boards on the forum ?

Current number of active users in each month wouldn't be more than 50k(guess). Although there are a lot of posts are generated, I doubt one-fourth of that are actually high quality and deserve merit.

Lets take an average of 10posts/user/day, No matter the post deserve mert or not, Do you really think that sufficient ??

Taking myself as an example-
I'm mostly active in Beginner's board. Some merit sources are active there and share smerit consistently. In my local, there's 1 merit source and he is more or less (enough) active in sharing smerit. In fact, boards where I'm active, I never feel the lack of smerit.
The circulation of smerits are much bigger. Not only merit sources, a lot of members also share smerits. I guess we have enough of merit sources and circulation.

If you think any particular board isn't getting enough smerit, you can bring some good quality post and apply as a merit source. Theymos will certainly take a look.

Do is just me, but I'm thinking the pair (Merit-Sources / Earned sMerits) is yet not sufficient to deserve all the potential for the forum

So,
Why not create a way in what [packs of sMerits, 50 or 100] are distributed to users, both by applying from users and distributing them in some way automatically. of course to users who would be juged to deserve it better
