Title: Re: LoyceV vs theymos (and get your own Merit graph: up to 20 users per graph)
Post by: LoyceV on January 18, 2019, 03:32:26 PM
Clickbait title, but you're here, so it worked :D

https://loyce.club/other/graph0.gif
Updated up to theymos' latest data dump (last Friday morning).

Any requests?
Posts 2 (or more) profiles and I'll get you a graph. Please use this format with only userIDs:
Code:
976210 879277 867786 820936
Up to 20 users per request, don't include users without earned Merit.
NEW: To make the legend in the graph easier to read, I'll sort them by earned Merit.

Data source
http://loyce.club/Merit/merit.all.txt (format: time amount msg user_from user_to) (explained in LoyceV's Merit data analysis (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3078328.new#new))

No spam.
You can count deleted posts at the top of this topic :D Oh yeah :D

He invented the system. I mean, he got 1405 Merit just for announcing Merit (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.msg28856522#msg28856522) :D You can't beat that :D
Seriously though, it feels like a race sometimes.

Every time I get close to satoshi, he jumps up 50+ Merits :D


I like how the graphs show "initial fame": a straight line up right at the beginning means Merit was earned for past fame. I didn't have much of that, DdmrDdmr had nothing at all. Until just now, I didn't know he started out as a "bounty spammer":
Proof of Authentication
Telegram : @ddmr_1
Joined Telegram
ID: @ddmr_1
It took him a while to start earning Merit, and from there on it's been a straight line up. That literally makes him the best example of what a Newbie can accomplish within the current restrictions, if he puts a lot of effort in his posts.

True, but he's smarter than average IMO.  Very good with math & data analysis, and it shows--much like when nullius was around and used to write masterpieces just for his typical posts.  It's true that starting from scratch and earning tons of merits is possible, but it just isn't going to happen for the average newbie. 

suchmoon vs The Pharmacist
I'd like to see just this graph, because we look to be so correlated it's ridiculous.  I don't think either of us had that initial jump in merits, either.  It's interesting to see how that happened, because you can clearly see how crazy the early days of the merit system were and how quickly everyone's sMerits ran out (merit sources excluded).  People were handing out insane amounts of merit in the first few days and probably didn't realize how important they'd become.

Thanks for the graphs, LoyceV.

I was apparently a slow starter … first merit on the 24/02/2018 (me) vs 25/01/2018 (you).

I could have been knocked-off the board pretty soon though …:
A month ago, I got about 800 accounts nuked (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2746043) for spamming @AlexPromotion.

Today, I stumbled upon this thread:
#Joinedairdrop          #obirum
Telegram username : @kamaljeetsambyal
Bitcointalk username: kamaljeetsambyal
Bitcointalk link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php
Eth address : 0x4ea90b4E5D0677d2726f8242c9b9a55636414922
I think he accidentally created a new thread, instead of spamming in their "normal" spam thread.

After further investigation, it turns out many spammers are posting among others their Eth address for some token airdrop. This is against the rules, although quite common on the bounty board (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0).
I created a list of all Newbies who posted the words "obirum" and "airdrop" in the 5 past days. This list has 374 unique participants.

I've only checked a few manually, they're not exclusively posting this spam: some of them post some "normal" posts, but most of them post all kinds of spam.

Question for Mods: Is this worth nuking all of them? If so, I'll keep making lists like this. If not, I won't.

My Nuke list for consideration (I choose clickable over code-tags):
<…>
DdmrDdmr (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1582324)
<…>
@mprep and other mods apparently nuked quite a few from the list. Saved by the whistle …


I did explain my initial steps rather well here on the B&H board for others to understand:

<…> When I joined the forum, I did it during the great hype period, and was genuinely intrigued by all this virtual community world. Being myself rather an anti-social network sort of creature, I took it with an exploratory spirit, wanting to unveil both something about myself, and about what the forum was about and the surrounding mass hype.<….>
The post goes on a fair bit more. I kind of felt it was confession day or something of the sort …

Lol :o It turns out LoyceV vs DdmrDdmr started on February 13, 2018 already. I never knew that :D How did you find this?
I've also posted lists including my own name, but your name wasn't obvious at all back then.
The ones above and under your name are all nuked. The Mods did a good job excluding you. Creating a long list is quite easy, manually checking the accounts before nuking them is a lot of (boring) work. Well done Mods :D

Before using @Piggy’s @Maggiordomo, I used to use the forum search function, searching for myself out of curiosity (specially in relation to non English/Spanish boards). I once stumbled with that nuke list post, and remembered it was there ... I could not find it on Google today, but the forum search worked fine and brought it back in a second.

I may have less time I can scratch from work & play in the weeks to come, so I expect the lines to diverge somewhat …

Not really: it takes a fraction of a second to extract the data, but about 10 minutes to create and post the graph. I'll need some more scripting before I process the requests (tomorrow).

Where is data sourced from? What is being used to create the graph? The later shouldn't take that long.

Yes

Done: I've updated my script from something that took 5 minutes to make for 2 users with manual editing, into something a bit more flexible that accepts up to 10 users (screenshotting is still manual work). I'll process requests now.

Can you get me up to 10 users to compare per graph? Even better: use this format with only userIDs:
Code:
976210 879277 867786 820936
If you use this format, it's okay to ask for multiple sets.

THE CULT OF LAUDA
There's like 15-20 people in it now. Good luck Loycy (who's also a newbie member FYI). :P
I am?

(I feel we're gonna get moderated the hell out of this thread LOL)
Theymos read your mind:
In the "This is a self-moderated topic" warning, stats will now be printed about how many posts have been deleted if any posts have been deleted.
I'll clean up all off-topic posts, nothing personal :P

It's possible to adjust the starting date, but it's not worth adjusting everything just for the sake of it. You can see the trendline like this anyway.

I'm not adjusting my script for it, but you can find the approximate date (1538611200) and (mentally) remove the rest:

I quickly hacked it through 4 pages of excel. What details are missing? The chart type is just different.
The chart type removes most of the details.
-snip-
Which is exactly what is supposed to do. You're forgetting who your target audience is and what information they actually need to see from these comparisons. Trust me, those details are irrelevant and you've just created more work for yourself.  :P

I simplified it to 8 fixed UNIX timestamps. Could always trivially make it more or less detailed, but I don't see a reason to do this.

The only reason I left it in, is to emphasize the graph starts the second theymos sent the first Merit. I've made it human readable now.

Hmm, I think the default for this was 10 points where I only had 8 (or it may be due to me extending the graph size). As I previously said, it was quick hack I threw from your dump. Either way, I will probably redo it at some later time. At least we got double graph-making power now; should speed up things when one of us isn't around.

Pitting the top 10 or top 50 if it's not too much trouble! Against each other from Vod's most recognized  (https://bpip.org/report.aspx?r=mostrecognized)users on Bitcointalk would be interesting. A few of his reports would be interesting to compare, actually.

Nevermind. I read that link as top merit receivers!

Mine supports 50, but it is rather annoying to set that up. 50 UUIDs.

One graph with 50 users will be impossible to read, and any graph with theymos in it gets "compressed" vertically.

Actually, these type of charts are rather interesting to play around with. For fun ,I’ve silently added a similar one to the Merit Dashboard (Received Merit Charts tab). What’s interesting is to be able to play around with filters and do stuff like delimit the time scope when the chart should add the sMerits, or the boards they were received in.

Something like: exclude the top 200 Merit receivers and all Merit earned in Meta? That's very tempting to do :D

Nah, can't be bothered to build a custom variable, but we can exclude Meta for example. Excluding Meta, my chart is pretty common.

Here's the first 10 from that list which I did as a self-test. A graph with so many users would be a real mess IMO. Pugman pick a subset of users if you want a comparison (preferably without hilariousetc - as you can see above it does not scale well :D).

You're in the graph twice because it's faster than adjusting my script. The graphs are slightly different: this nicely demonstrates the small effect of copying data for all users when another user receives Merit. This gives small changes, but made creating the graph much easier.

Although we've only been a Full Member recently, but I would like to know how's our progress back then. As of now we have the same no. of Merits, it will be a short time before he passed mine :) In fact he's a good poster than me.

Thanks mate :)

I'm not bro, am just an average poster check my record beside you're doing great than I am, so it's not a competition. The PM you sent me made me feel like I was robbing you of something. It doesn't matter who gets to snr member first the final goal is legendary. So please don't make it a competition. We're both doing great 😀

Just sent you +1merit so you can have some rest as you'll now be above me @ 160merits.

This entire thread is about competition :D DdmrDdmr is quite busy lately IRL, so that gives me a fighting chance. For now :D

So please don't make it a competition.
It's a friendly competition. Merit is always a great motivation to make a contribution when you see someone likes your posts. But unfortunately I'm always out of sMerit.  :D

Nope mate :) Being competitive makes us more confident and helps us keep being motivated. This is not a bad thing for me, it's quite the opposite, it's great though :) and also I'm fine if you reach it first. No need to pity me, or any bad feelings. this is a friendly game to let us be somewhat have fun.

It's on to you if you take it seriously or not. I just pick you for the reason you have my eyes on you after you posted on my thread on Meta, and I'm rooting for you to make an advance :)

Just let me be :P it's fun for me, having this way :D

DdmrDdmr has started of on his 250 giveaway Merits, I think that's a signal that he is alive again :D

LoyceV can we get a merit stats on boards we received merits from something like Bitcoin discussion = 50meits Meta = 100merits. You can start a thread like this one where users request for it or do it like other merit stats thread where you list TOP 500 merit receivers and the boards they received the merits from with the amount.

Sorry this reply is off topic but I'm interested in knowing which board I have been productive in since merits kinda relates to how productive/helpful you have been, i tried to do it manually but it's consuming lots of time and thought you might have the tools to do it.

Most likely new Merit for us will slow down when we've reached 1000 Merit, especially in local boards where Merit is still scarce sometimes. Appreciate your good posts too, both in the english and local section.  ;)

Any requests?
Posts 2 (or more) profiles and I'll get you a graph. Please use this format with only userIDs:
Code:
976210 879277 867786 820936
Up to 10 users per request, don't include users without earned Merit.
Request? Yeap, I have a request today. Would you mind sharing the code you use to make such graph from your datasource (Loycev club). Then, everyone can enjoy it personally, without needs to make request to the topic. I meant, can you share the code like what you did with merit bar graphs?
Sometimes, me (others, maybe) have funny ideas, and should do it myself. It is annoying if I usually send you request to make such graphs repeatedly.

Best,
Tran Thi Dzung

It's not really useful to share, and it's far from great code :P
I just use http://loyce.club/Merit/merit.all.txt and http://loyce.club/Merit/usernames.txt as data sources, then copy the data into a spreadsheet to make a graph.

Wow,
I missed those graphs and I have been redirected here by a link from WO thread.

I am one of regular ddmrddmr merit dashboard (sorry LoyceV...), and I know pretty well my merit graph.
But I find VB1001’s graph very incredible: not only his graph is steeper than mine, but also is very straight, almost a straight line.
This means he’s been churning the same merits per week since a long time.
I know my graph, and I know why all the blips, change of rate or apparent stops (lots of them are tied with my real life).
But generating  out so many merits AND so regularly is a tremendous achievement!

Well done VB001!

Also I would like to thank ETF as he selected myself amongst the many WO family members!
Thank you!

I don't have the time to look into the details, but it always makes me curious why one user increased so much, and the other didn't. Maybe someone improved their posts a lot, maybe someone just became much more active. Or maybe "being well known" really makes it easier to earn Merit.

Very interesting!

Looks like a very high number of recently most merited users gained most of their Merit in 2019 like fillippone, nutildah or mikeywith and even myself. I remember mikeywith was saying the first few months he was reading most of the time, same goes for fillippone AFAIK. And that applies even for myself, 80% of my Merit was earned in 2019.

Maybe that's stuff for a new study.  :D

And it took around 5 weeks for fillippone to pass all of us, called flippening (word is derived from fillippone?)

All reasons mentioned by you are Loycev make a lot of sense, but based on my personal experience it's mostly "where" you post that makes the big difference, if i take myself as an example, and for the past a few months, I started being most active in my local board, we only have 2 merit sources and their merit allocation is relatively low, I know I could earn more merit in B&H and Meta or even the WO thread since I do a lot of technical analysis,but honestly I don't like forcing myself to post in places where I don't feel like it, when I started being active in my local board it was almost a dead town there, I have been working for months on it, along side with a few members and we now have a much larger community and much better content, and honestly being in top 15 or even top 50 most merited members while being relatively new here ( i am barley known ) puts me in a comfort zone as far as merit is concerned, which is great , I get to focus on improving my local board , but don't get so comfortable miaw because when i feel the heat , guess I already know how to get those merit  ;D.

I have to admit I am impressed myself.
But rest assured I put A LOT of effort in what I did in my past months in the forum.
No need to bring up my infamous merit thread here (I am not even bothering to link it here, as you probably know what I am referring about), but rest assured I actively tried to raise the quality of my threads lately (the futures one, or the stock to flow on- again, no link here). Why? Again, bitcoin is difficult and I want to learn a lot and there is no better way to learn something than trying to explain it.
 
Of course being around a lot in the forum and hanging a on the WO thread helped a little bit, but I think that numbers ("There are lies, damned lies and statistics" as ddmrddmr likes to remember us) can demonstrate, I got the vast majority of merits outside WO posts or generally low efforts (read: memes/one liners/jokes posts). Not I am disowning those posts: I am an human and I like also to laugh a little bit after the hard work.
So yes: ultimately I can say this flippening is due to hard work, but I don't think I deserve to be a case study.

Praise yourself dude, most members struggle to earn 100 merit, earning more than a thousand of them in such a short period of time is one hell of an achievement if you ask me, nobody can deny the efforts put into such a journey, i know exactly how it feels when you take this forum very seriously and spend time and effort to provide quality content, so in my honest opinion you do deserve to be studied at length.

@ LoyceV I'd like to compare those that are in the Chipmixer campaign with over 1500 merits total:

First graph:
84521
2033515
2143453
579628
487418
465017
85033
787736
1582324
359716

2nd graph:
1188543
140827
234771

(Its a shame there's more than 10 users so they don't fit on one graph)



All reasons mentioned by you are Loycev make a lot of sense, but based on my personal experience it's mostly "where" you post that makes the big difference, if i take myself as an example
I would say that where you post, and at what times matters, but I wouldn't say its the biggest cause. To be able to find a cause we would likely have to do a case study of over a thousand users. and ideally more  to have any sort of accuracy. A interesting statistic to cough up would be to determine how many merits per post since the introduction of the merit system users get. This would be able to help determine whether its a matter of activity versus where you post.

For example, I've pretty much always posted in the same sections since the merit introduction, but I haven't always been actively posting. Active on the forum yeah, but not posting. You can probably check this via the chipmixer campaign spreadsheet where I would have 0 posts some weeks. This is a mixture of reasons, but getting used to moderating, and trying to improve the way I moderate definitely had an impact. Some of you may have noticed that my public activity has been much greater recently, and as a result I've seen quite a growth in my merits. I'm sure LoyceV or someone else would be able to pull up a graph showing how I've stagnated for a little while, and having exponential growth when coming active again.

I think its become quite obvious that a lot of users are bruteforcing the merit gain, and although honestly I think their posts are decent enough to gain merit a statistic showing how many merits per post made would likely be a better indication of someone's overall quality. Of course, this can be inaccurate as well as there's no standards for awarding merit.

These are my observations (which may be inaccurate, and just personal opinion); Certain parts of the forum yield a much greater chance of merit not because of activity or the topic subject, but because there's almost a little mini community within Bitcointalk in certain sections. The collectible section, and the wall observer thread in my opinion are these little mini communities where it seems there's a lot of "back scratching". Although, I'd like to make it clear I'm not implying that the back scratching is unjust or wrong I've just made the observation that it's definitely easier to earn merit in these mini communities when considering the post quality. These are users that are not shitposting either, and in fact many of the users there are very good posters.

After giving it a second thought, and after having checked my topic  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5119148.msg53151285#msg53151285) which I started 8 months ago, I found out that I did earn pretty much the same merit every 4 months or so, but I have also been a little bit more active in the last 8 months, my posts quality never changed, but where I mainly post changed after the first 4 months.


While I still earned almost the same merit being in boards where earning merit is more difficult, it's mainly due to being more active than before, while there is no guarantee that I would have earned more merit being active in boards where I could likely get more merit, I think more studies as you proposed would really give us a more accurate view.

I think its become quite obvious that a lot of users are bruteforcing the merit gain, and although honestly I think their posts are decent enough to gain merit a statistic showing how many merits per post made would likely be a better indication of someone's overall quality.
I made a topic for that too: Percentage of Merit received on old posts, deleted posts, and average per post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5051725.0)
From what I've seen, anything less than 0.02 Merit per post is a very bad sign.
You could argue I'm bruteforcing my Merit too: there are users who earn much more per post, and if I would post 10 times less, I would earn much less Merit too. Therefore, I think bruteforcing Merit is only a problem when users are posting hundreds of low-quality posts just hoping to earn a single Merit. But then the problem isn't the bruteforcing, the problem is they're borderline spammers.

Although, I'd like to make it clear I'm not implying that the back scratching is unjust or wrong I've just made the observation that it's definitely easier to earn merit in these mini communities when considering the post quality. These are users that are not shitposting either, and in fact many of the users there are very good posters.
I think you forgot the blue word, am I right?
I've noticed this too, but since Merit was introduced to stop spammers from ranking up many accounts, and the users in WO or Collectibles aren't the problem there and don't spam other sections either, I don't think it's bad at all.

We can't have you embarrassing us now can we? Nah, honest mistake. Somehow missed you.

Yeah, I'll fix the "not" bit. I guess I must have been really tired when I wrote this! I think largely the merit system has been effective, but there are definitely users posting content which honestly isn't that useful, but still know that it will get merit.

Anyway, what's interesting to me on that graph is; as predicted many of its users are having very sharp gains in merit received, which also indicates that they are either posting very good quality or posting a lot. I might take a look at the amount of posts per week on the Chipmixer spreadsheet, and see if we can get interesting observations from that when used in conjunction with this data.

Unfortunately, the recent art contest merit dump is going to hit the merit received per post all out of whack for certain users. That could be something else to look into. How many users gained a lot of >20 merit in the art contest, but received 0 before that.

Thanks for the graph!

I think its become quite obvious that a lot of users are bruteforcing the merit gain, and although honestly I think their posts are decent enough to gain merit a statistic showing how many merits per post made would likely be a better indication of someone's overall quality. Of course, this can be inaccurate as well as there's no standards for awarding merit.

These are my observations (which may be inaccurate, and just personal opinion); Certain parts of the forum yield a much greater chance of merit not because of activity or the topic subject, but because there's almost a little mini community within Bitcointalk in certain sections. The collectible section, and the wall observer thread in my opinion are these little mini communities where it seems there's a lot of "back scratching".

I don't know if you are referring to me, but I think I could fit into that category.
First of all I would state that I am writing it for the sake of confrontation and exchange of ideas: I am now way offended/annoyed/irritated by your comments.

I have said how I feel about my merit history in a post a few row above (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5099167.msg53096695#msg53096695).
I belong to one of those communities, WO thread namely (the hat might be an hint of that), but (it's a feeling, not based on numbers, even though it would be easily checkable) i am pretty sure that I gained the vast majority of those merits outside the WO.
So yes, I understand what you are saying, but "bruteforcing" seems quite a "strong" statement, considering you recognised the quality of post are "decent enough".

Nah, I wasn't referring to you. I'm not even that familiar with your merit history honestly, but I have seen you starting to adventure out in other sections of the forum recently. I don't tend to spend a lot of time in the WO thread. Its a little bit too wild for me.  Let me try, and make it clearer. I think a lot of low quality replies get merited in the WO thread that otherwise wouldn't be merited in other sections. However, the bruteforcing I'm referring to is the users that are creating a load of threads, because they've identified that they get more merit from a individual thread rather than contributing to others. These posts are the ones which I consider decent enough in terms of quality, but its fairly obvious that these posts can be condensed into a singular thread. Its not a criticism per say, its more of a observation that has been made by myself. Although, I think there's a few users here that have made similar observations.  Everyone knows that posts in Meta also get a lot of exposure, and a lot of merit for example. So, my observations aren't criticisms its just identifying that what Mikey said earlier in the thread is definitely true to some extent. It does help to post in certain sections of the forum. Although, I also wanted to bring up that its a combination of things such as activity of the user, and various other things.

You are likely correct 1miau, regarding the distinction between cap and hat, and even if many of us likely aspire to have hats, if we don't play our cards right (including sticking with HODLing and accumulating BTC and not getting distracted into shitcoins), then we may end up having to settle with caps of the regular joe rather than hats of the new wealthy elite, gentlemen... especially with those who sold too much BTC too soon, which are less of a rare species than might be expected given bitcoin's largely upwardly trajected historical price path.  :o

The legend is in order of the total earned Merit, so the right part of the graph has the same order as the legend. I think you mean theymos, probably for the 10th anniversary art contest (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5193860.0).

Tinypic disappeared a while ago, and I've been using loyce.club for images ever since. However, I recently switched from "http" to "https" (because several people kept asking me) and made it "https only". That works fine for webpages, but it broke all existing embedded images on the forum. I edit my posts if I see them, but I can't edit the quotes made by others.

Interesting to see the decline of new Merit for some participants recently.
Maybe that was also a reason, why theymos decided to increase sMerit allocations.

I tried to visualize it by drawing some lines but it looks a little bit confusing.
Red = recent decline
Green = recent increase
So far, only El duderino_ and nutildah have received recently increased Merit.

Nice graph.

I have been battling with El Duderino_ for a long time. When I thought I left him in the dust, BAM! he played his own magic and summoned a Wall of Merits.

On the opposite side of the emotion the flat yellow line of @Last of the V8’s: he hit the road a few months ago and never. Ale back since. Last time I asked news about him, I was told he was ok. Hope this is still the case and he’s enjoying life away from the forum!

https://loyce.club/other/graph17.gif

I hope I make it before theymos updates something on the forum that gives him a 1000 Merit vertical jump again :)

The increase in Merit sources is clearly visible in the last few weeks.

The increase in Merit sources is clearly visible in the last few weeks.

The increase is clearly visibile for almost everyone in the graph, except for @theymos and @suchmoon, for some strange reason.
I hope this merit quantitative easing will trickle down for all users, not only merit sources. I think I've done my part so far.

Theymos is organising some kind of event to build a wall of merits. For sure.

EDIT:

I was curious if I can expect to beat theymos before o_e_l_e_o beats me:

I was about to create a thread on meta because I had noticed that LoyceV is approaching Sir Theymos to ask if people thought he was going to overtake him or what, maybe with a poll, but in the light of what I've seen:

I hope I make it before theymos updates something on the forum that gives him a 1000 Merit vertical jump again :)

Theymos is organising some kind of event to build a wall of merits. For sure.

I think it's better to keep quiet. Let's see if he doesn't notice. Of course if he creates a worked thread of his own he's going to take a big jump.

One doubt I have, which I don't know if it has been clarified on any of the pages is whether they both received the same number of airdropped merits (I haven't read them all because I understand that many posts are from people asking for their charts).

One doubt I have, which I don't know if it has been clarified on any of the pages is whether they both received the same number of airdropped merits (I haven't read them all because I understand that many posts are from people asking for their charts).

Both LoyceV and Theymos recéived an equal amount of airdropped merits equal to 1000.

Those graphs are anyway plotted on earned merits.
An easy way to check the above information is looking at their blip.org profiles:

Theymos (https://bpip.org/Profile?p=Theymos)

LoyceV (https://bpip.org/Profile?p=LoyceV)

Plot twist2: @Theymos is @o_e_l_e_o
If I add Merit earned by confirmed alts (LoyceMobile (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1903546) and theymos_away (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=349090)), I would be on top by now :D

I had a 50 merits bomb ready for @theymos_away, just because. But I guess those merits would be irremediably lost, and this is against my principle.

Naaah, not only I am out of merits, but also I am afraid I already granted LoyceV his monthly maximum quantity of merits.

If I rack 100 merits, I could merit Theymos, only to slightly postpone the inevitable overtsking.
Or I could merit LoyceV’s alt.. just to mess up the competition.
Not this time… I am afraid.

Only 17 merits left for it. It could happen soon. What I wonder is if Sir Theymos hasn't noticed, or if he doesn't care, or if he is preparing something to release it at the last moment.

had the same idea heh.

might be interesting having a "merit carpet bombing" thing between them, see who wins. bit of an merit abuse thing tbh but you know maybe the Bossman will let it slide, i hears pretty cool and hes got a sense of humor, or something that passes as such.

of course next time i log in i may not be a merit source anymore  ;D

My guess is theymos didn't create the Merit system to be #1 himself. He's also Most Recognized (https://bpip.org/Report?r=mostrecognized) on BPIP, but that's kinda expected being the main Administrator.

For a minute there I thought Delta was a graph of COVID Delta variant cases or something, and I couldn't work out why that was relevant to our merit totals, haha.

Truth be told, although I always check which individual posts of mine receive merit, I haven't really paid much attention to my total merit for the last few thousand or so, so much so that I didn't realize I had overtaken theymos until you pointed it out. I just keep on cycling. ;)

Except for the fact that I am not even half as motivated as I was back then, I don't think there will be any battle here, 1miau will beat me hands down. :D

Don't worry, I'm sometimes very lazy and your turn might come faster again that one would expect.
It's usual for cats.  :D

And remember, we are not in for fast gains, we are HODLing.  ;)




But I've lost so much ground to you, you are at almost 3x Merit now.  :D
Maybe I should apply to get a Member of Foxpup's Merit Cycling club?

I really cannot see a fox and a cat hanging out together, but I might be wrong here, as that club is still a mystery for the not adept!
You are right probably...
A fox is stronger than a cat, isn't it?  :-X
But a Foxpup?  ;)

After mikeywith celebrated his 5 years anniversary just few days ago (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5448776.0), it seems to be time for a new round here.  

....

I would like to request:

Code:
1852120 2033515 1137579 1285797 2143453

It's mikeywith, GazetaBitcoin, icopress, fillippone and me (1miau).  :)
But no hurry, if LoyceV is busy I wouldn't mind waiting a bit for a new round.  :)

I hadn't used this since I moved the data to a different server. It works again, so updates are easy (but the spreadsheet is very slow).

I almost forgot about my request but luckily I remebered it, since I was talking to mikeywith.
What an achievement from 1miau to surpass mikeywith (yaay) but I'm sure that he'll come back at some point.  :D

And GazetaBitcoin is looking really strong to catch us all (exept fillippone  :P).  :)

Ok, I hope it didn't create too much trouble for you.
I've sent you some Merit to honor your work.  :)

I suggest you stop bringing fillippone to the party, he makes us all look bad. The pace at which his merit count is growing looks like he prints merit out of thin air. :D

However, you seem to have missed how fast icopress is moving toward us, his climbing pace seems to be the best for the past couple of years.

Yeah, I have to agree here, I was planning to do it already last time (see here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5099167.msg61127048#msg61127048)) and I should really implement it next time because seeing his Merit graph is really embarassing for all of us.  :'(

The pace at which his merit count is growing looks like he prints merit out of thin air. :D
Good point, maybe we need to introduce a Merit halving every 210 000 blocks?  :) :)

However, you seem to have missed how fast icopress is moving toward us, his climbing pace seems to be the best for the past couple of years.
Indeed, icopress has become a famous campaign manager known for his high quality standards and the community is rewarding this handsomely with Merit.
Maybe he'll overtake both of us?  :D
But I'll need to go to bed now, it's already very late. See you tomorrow.  :)

How about adding theymos instead of fillippone? That should be a doable target in the long term. He's ahead, but he's not gaining:

He’s moving, but in a very different way from the vast majority of us. He usually has some merit showers, which translate into vertical walls on the graph. Usually those happen around April 1st, and on other relevant forum events.

This is a good one and actually worth a thread of its own @fillipone! ;) It's funny because I remember discussing this at university a very long time ago. In short and abstract terms: it is a rich-get-richer scheme. The winners win more and the losers lose what the winners won more. As losers can't become winners, but winners could turn into losers, the number of winners decreases whereas the number of losers increases, meaning less winners gain from more losers, thereby shifting wealth or income further from the many to the few.

With regard to merits and Bitcointalk, the social phenomenon of a queue in front of a restaurant getting longer only because it is already long describes it quite well in my opinion. Though nobody really loses anything when somebody else wins in terms of merits. That is where it lacks a bit behind the initial meaning of the effect. But there are a lot of nice examples to approximate the effect with analogies.

I never understood why 1miau always chooses me as cannon fodder O0 Why not the dude with 5700 posts and 0 merits (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5440036.0) or the one with 6000 posts and 0 merits (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5219641.0)?! Or, at least, why not MinoRaiola (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1926895.msg61730022#msg61730022)? Why me, me, me? =)))

Maybe we should remove fillippone.  :D
Otherwise, it's getting too depressing...  :-\

But it's still depressing for me O0

I also believe that theymos will ban all users which managed to get more merits than him (which would be, of course, a very understandable punishment for such act of lčse-majesté !) O0 It seems he was very indulgent though and only temp-banned (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5121375.msg58607333#msg58607333) these users from DT1 :)

You're a fun target and play along nicely :P
Give it time, extrapolating the past months shows you'll be ahead of 1miau in 6 months. Disclaimer: this may or may not happen, I don't give any guarantees nor make promises about it.

You're on to something, this doesn't seem very random to me:
I've updated my list of who's been on DT1 for how many weeks (since I started keeping track):
Code:
     1	51173,mprep: 189
     3 78147,Cyrus: 184
     6 55384,Foxpup: 182
    10 35,theymos: 178
    12 164822,hilariousandco: 176
    15 290195,achow101: 173
    40 459836,LoyceV: 149
Then again, maybe we're just paranoid:

I must properly follow Prime Directive (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1935179.msg52478138#msg52478138) to make sure your words will come true!

Dear GazetaBitcoin, it's pretty pointless to compare shitposters, trust abusers or plagiarizers to our etablished accounts.
Comparing such low-quality accounts is just pointless.
Why should I do this?  :)

Why me, me, me? =)))
Because you are a quality poster and we are still ahead of you.
I can stop including you, when you are ahead of us.  ;)
Deal?

Maybe we should remove fillippone.  :D
Otherwise, it's getting too depressing...  :-\

But it's still depressing for me O0
Maybe you'll be ahead of me soon. And icopress as well...

Since it's been almost one year from the above quote, I thought to come with a heads-up here :) I did not manage yet to have more merits than 1miau, but I came dangerously close to him -- 6449 merits on my side vs his 6671.
