Title: Send Merits later.
Post by: hugeblack on October 01, 2019, 05:50:43 PM
Often I find a lot of posts that deserve Merits but unfortunately, my source sMerits are over.
Currently, I bookmark pages but is there a user script that enables auto sending *after they available*?

That would be a dangerous script - too many things that can go wrong. Bookmarking is the right way to do it. Or just leave 300 tabs open ;D

You might also not want that to happen, especially if you have tons of unmerited posts that leaves on your bookmark page, it would automatically consume all of your sMerits and if that happen,  You wouldn't have a chance to enjoy giving out your sMerits.

Just leave them behind at the moment, they might get some from the others, and if not,  you'll still be able to see those posts next time because of your boredom. I am also lacking some sMerits at the moment but I'm currently enduring it...

I don't agree with this. Personally I will never use this option even if it exists. It's better to merit the posts manually.
You might find a post that deserves to get a merit more than that post. Also, in this case, you will never be able to merit a post instantly. A user Script which reminds you of those posts might be more helpful.

AFAIK user script don't allow the script to store it's data on browser persistently. What you need is browser add-ons which allow more complex task (save posts ID with merit amount, automatically check merit amount and automatically send merit when it's possible)

I think localStorage (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Storage_API) could be used for this.

Imagine what'll happen if merit farmer add backdoor to user script/add-ons that he/she share :P

Even a perfectly legitimate script can have bugs that could e.g. accidentally send too many merits or otherwise mess something up. It can probably be done in a reasonably safe manner with lots of sanity checks etc but just doesn't seem worth the effort.

I suggest keeping a text file handy, and inputting urls of the post whenever you would like to merit something, but can't due to exhausting your merit pool. Of course, this requires manual work, but at least you get to review whether you think that post deserves merit or not. I've kept a text file full of posts which I haven't gone through completely yet despite now being a merit source.

Already mentioned that auto meriting script could be very dangerous so possible solution to get merit for an unmerited post that deserves merit could be reported here : [self-moderated] Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5093271.0) so that other merit sources can pour some merit on it.

If it is in local language then you can create one thread like the above one on your local board and ask the people to merit it.

You mean to say - do not shut down the computer?  :-P
No just set "Continue where you left" option in your browser setting. ;)

I already have a text file filled with links and I collect them very often when I run out of sMerits. For me it's very handy rather than using and extension or such thing.
