Title: When did you need to register on BitcoinTalk to get free merits? Post by: J-N on June 10, 2018, 02:02:29 AM Introduction I was curious, when did a user need to register on BitcoinTalk to get free merits. I decided to create the spreadsheet representing a datetimes and activities. Firstly, the BitcoinTalk user activity updates approximately every two weeks. Actually, the interval is slightly longer by 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Secondly, let say that the users post at least 7 messages each week. Thirdly, a Hero member should have a random activity 775-1030 to rank up to Legendary, so let call them a lucky (775) and unlucky (1030) Legendary. The first column of the spreadsheet is the Unix time, the second column is the UTC time. The third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eightth columns are the activity of a potential unlucky Legendary (1030), lucky Legendary (775), Hero Member, Senior Member, Full Member and Member respectively. Here we go! :) BitcoinTalk user activity update times Unix time UTC time unlucky Legendary 1427800000 3/31/2015 11:06:40 14 1429010000 4/14/2015 11:13:20 28 1430220000 4/28/2015 11:20:00 42 1431430000 5/12/2015 11:26:40 56 1432640000 5/26/2015 11:33:20 70 1433850000 6/09/2015 11:40:00 84 1435060000 6/23/2015 11:46:40 98 1436270000 7/7/2015 11:53:20 112 1437480000 7/21/2015 12:00:00 126 1438690000 8/4/2015 12:06:40 140 1439900000 8/18/2015 12:13:20 154 1441110000 9/1/2015 12:20:00 168 1442320000 9/15/2015 12:26:40 182 1443530000 9/29/2015 12:33:20 196 1444740000 10/13/2015 12:40:00 210 1445950000 10/27/2015 12:46:40 224 1447160000 11/10/2015 12:53:20 238 1448370000 11/24/2015 13:00:00 252 The user #505834 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=505834) registered at April 14, 2015, 11:13:03 AM.

The merit system has been adopted on BitcoinTalk at January 24, 2018. Every Member got free 10 merits, every Full Member got free 100 merits, every Senior Member got free 250 merits, every Hero Member got free 500 merits, every Legendary got free 1000 merits. Conclusion 1. When did a user need to start posting on BitcoinTalk to get free merits:
2. How many merits did a user earn to rank up:
Please share your opinion here. Thank you! :-* Title: Re: When did you need to register on BitcoinTalk to get free merits? Post by: LoyceMobile on June 10, 2018, 05:16:34 AM I think you missed the fact that Unlucky Legendary users received 1000 merits, even though they were still Hero Members.
May I suggest changing the title? It sounds like a dumb question while it is an interesting analysis, so it doesn't do it justice. Title: Re: When did you need to register on BitcoinTalk to get free merits? Post by: puzzling_rvat on June 10, 2018, 10:24:55 AM Nice statistic and conclusions especially. If in 2017 everyone knew about bitcoin and crypto currencies, then in 2015 - 2016 no so many people. Now I realize that Legendary people really deserve their rank, at least they found this forum more earlier then the 99% of other users. Well done, author!
I think this information is very useful for new users of this forum. Title: Re: When did you need to register on BitcoinTalk to get free merits? Post by: bitart on June 10, 2018, 09:10:07 PM Nice stats, thanks.
One thing to mention: You calculate 1 post per day for the users, but it's not the usual/average posting habit for the most of the users here. The title is a bit misleading with the free merit mentioned in, I agree. I'm curious, why bounty spammers haven't found this thread yet to start complaining against the merit system ...

It seems that unlucky Legendaries don't exist if we are saying about the distribution of a free merits at 24 January, 2018.One thing to mention: You calculate 1 post per day for the users, but it's not the usual/average posting habit for the most of the users here. Actually, a user had to post at least one message per one activity update interval and have enough total message count at 24 January, 2018.I'm curious, why bounty spammers haven't found this thread yet to start complaining against the merit system ... It is just an analysis. I think that the earliest users deserve of getting free merits.Thank you very much for feedback! Title: Re: When did you need to register on BitcoinTalk to get free merits?

This user received 1000 free merits, although he is still a Hero Member. Code: Activity: 817
I think you missed the fact that Unlucky Legendary users received 1000 merits, even though they were still Hero Members. I signed up on Bitcointalk (or just started to post here) one week too late to become unlucky Hero Member with 1000 Merits :/I looked at your profile. You are registered on BitcoinTalk at August 22, 2015, 09:21:13 PM. You could receive 1000 free merits, but you started posting at December 27, 2015, 10:29:36 PM.
You didn't post any message for a four months after registration, therefore you had no enough activity at January 24, 2018, and as a result you received only 500 free merits. In any case, a Hero Member is considered a high rank too. Title: Re: When did you need to register on BitcoinTalk to get free merits? Post by: simonova on June 14, 2018, 03:34:38 PM This means I am late to the party. One can compensate this with more activity now and improving the quality of posts here. But even the people registering now will have advantages in future. Both this forum and crypto have a long way to go.

Excellent post and awesome stats!! But I get a bit disappointed with myself... I actually registered in the Sr. Member potential date! April 17, 2017 But only started posting in July 27,2017 Merits are hard to get! I'm comforted with my Full Member now. Title: Re: When did you need to register on BitcoinTalk to get free merits?

Your situation is almost similar to the situation of LTU_btc (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=547435) mentioned above. You didn't post any message for a long time after registration, therefore you had no enough activity at January 24, 2018 to receive 250 free merits. |
