Title: Merit spree is underway.
Post by: fillippone on November 19, 2019, 01:50:15 AM
We all knew a lot of merit were to be dumped on the art thread.

 [FUN] Is DdmrDdmr even human? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5117342.msg50036708#msg50036708)

Quote
That’s 257 sent merits from February 03, 2019, 02:28:01 PM to February 03, 2019, 04:47:30 PM.

That's 3399 merits in 321 tx's spread over 9h:54m:34s.
One tx every 1m and 51 seconds.
One merit every 10.49 seconds.


Considering he’s following more or less a chronological order, and it’s now on page 36 out of 61, I am scared to extrapolate on the total merits sent.
Impressive.

EDIT: updated with basic statistics on the complete merit spree.

Fun thing is that, after you write this comment you just nonchalantly continue spreading merit one after another. Congratulations on breaking the 2000 merits in one day mark (As of my post, theymos has sent 2055 merits in total since he started the spree). Also, huge congrats to the people who received it.

Intra-week merits (from 24/1/2018 to 11/11/2019)
Last two days dropped due to incomplete weeks (2019w46)

< snip >

Time series plot
This is a difficult question but I am sure that this week we will see total merits distributed much higher than 4521 - that is the median of total intra-week merits (over 94 weeks since the birthday of merit system).

Personally I expect it will be somewhere around 8000 to 9000 (in the top ten of highest weeks).
Quote
- 50% of observed weeks (94 weeks) have total intra-week merits above 4521, whilst the rest 50% of them have total intra-week merits below 4521. 4521 is the median - p50.

Who knows at the end of today, theymos will write: "I am out of sMerits, please help me all merit sources!"  :D

I guess the merit economy needed some emergency repo operations. ;)

LOL that art thread definitely got too out of hand. A lot of users saw the high potential of them actually earning merit without having to make decent posts hence it's really not surprising that they're taking full advantage of it while the thread is still up and active until it gets old enough to be locked.

Goddamn that's a lot of merits though.

I expect around 10k for the 10th anniversary.

Without a prize and Merit, it probably would have been simple.
That's not all I guess because some want that awesome badge as well that'll be able to display on their profiles. So without further ado, I updated my submission reply for my third entry for public viewing, I keep it idle for days but I guess this is the best time to unveil it. ;D

- Between 1 and 20 (depending on number of submissions) people will receive art contest recognition badges:

First, the art contest will end in next three days, then they will stop soon.
The contest ends Nov 22 18:04:28 UTC (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5.msg28#msg28); submissions after that are not guaranteed consideration. BTC will be sent all at once, probably a few hours after the end time.
Second, it is as same as the merit sytem, participants of the art contest have to submit good arts in order to receive merits as users have to make good posts to earn merits.
Without a prize and Merit, it probably would have been.
Maybe it is not true because some jokes like April Fools also attracted them.

Longer periods allows for best art.
Art requires time.
Photoshop theme filling or low effort requires no time.
So in the end the choice to give more time was correct.

I guess the final BTC prize and the reference

to a ton of merit, probably at least 500 in total
drew a lot of attention.

Great opportunity for newbie accounts to get a nice chunk of merits and all they have to do is to create their own art about Bitcointal 10th anniversary.

There are still many newbies and junior accounts with not enough knowledge about BTC or any other cryptocurrencies and such a contest is a great chance even for a higher rank.

As we can see Theymos gives real nice merits awards to these pieces of art which were created by members personally and cost at least some effort.

It's the first time on the Bitcointalk forum that all members have the same chance to win several dozen merits for such an easy task.

Yeah, its a one off thing though to sort of get the community involved with the anniversary so I think its an exception where we can reward users on art they've created instead of quality posts.

I guess the merit economy needed some emergency repo operations. ;)

You are the one to blame!
This is proper Quantitative Easing on Merit Economy!

It's the first time on the Bitcointalk forum that all members have the same chance to win several dozen merits for such an easy task.

This merit abuse is unacceptable ;) The art contest was obviously a ploy so that theymos could rank his alternate accounts up.

We want hard/sound money, we want hard/sound merits!

I put here yet another smiley  ;) so we don't fall into the Poe's Law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law) paradox

@theymos: It looks like your "emergency update" broke things:
Did anybody face any problem with merit that send by theymos for the 10th-anniversary contest? I have faced some problem when theymos sent me merits for second time that, I see, I received some merits in my merit history but when I click on the link of which post merited, But I can not find any merit on the post that send by theymos. I have also checked others' profiles for making me sure. But I also faced the same problem/error on others' profiles too.
The user above has received this from you:
Code:
Today at 04:25:17 AM: 3 from theymos for Re: 10th anniversary art contest
Today at 02:04:18 AM: 10 from theymos for Re: 10th anniversary art contest
November 18, 2019, 08:53:04 PM: 50 from theymos for Re: 10th anniversary art contest
These are the posts: 50 Merit (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5193860.msg52809530#msg52809530), no Merit (instead of 10) from you (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5193860.msg52830488#msg52830488), and 3 Merit from you again (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5193860.msg52864291#msg52864291).

Update: it looks like it's fixed now.

*Click* A great idea just popped up!
19 November Resolution:

1. Learn how to draw and use Photoshop.
2. Submit the coolest artwork ever in the Bitcointalk art thread.
3. Profit from the awarded Bitcoins.
4. Party hard with champagne and strippers.

What I saw gives me a feeling that theymos tends to send more sMerits to hand-made arts (pictures, wood-sculptured arts, ie. So Photoshop does not actually help applicants.

Is theymos a merit source? He looks like a giant merit source I have ever seen but it is likely that he has drained out of sMerits for today and he has to wait for tomorrow to see his sMerits pool refilled.

He's an admin. He can do literally anything on the forum. (For one thing, who do you think assigns sMerits to sources in the first place?)

I think its far more likely that he's exhausted his brain. I'm only about 20 or so pages into that thread, and its been every couple of days I've been going through them. He's been doing it for hours at a time, and some of them are from newbies which can't embed images so he has to go through the extra effort of navigating to the image.

Yeah, but good for Theymos for spending that many merits.  I've often thought that people who merit his posts are kind of wasting their own merits, since Theymos doesn't normally distribute that many of his own--and I say that because I don't see a lot of posts getting merited by him but haven't ever checked his merit-sending history.  This is a good move on his part, and he obviously thinks that the members making contributions to a thread that's basically celebrating the forum are doing a good job.  I'm all for his merit spree.

If it helps some members to rank up, I'm even more all for it.  I think it's gotten too hard for the lower ranks since the introduction of the merit system, and I think Theymos probably knows this as well.  I haven't looked at the ranks of the members he's meriting, but I will after this post and I hope a lot of them are lower ranked.

Edit:

Holy crap, I haven't really been following that thread but there are a ton of pages to it.  I checked the first couple ones and it does look like Theymos distributed a lot of merits to Jr. Member-Member ranks, which is great.  He certainly earned enough of his own merits for that OP, so it's good he's giving it back.

And that will help people to rank up and be productive in this forum. I hope that a lot of high ranking members would be like Theymos and also go to a merit spree. It is just like raining merit. He give so many merit to the users of this forum so cool.

No, this is the first time in our entire history that there has been a art contest. It was made to sort of celebrate the 10th anniversary, but also probably in attempt to get some image based content relating to the forum because I know theymos has stated he's  been a little disappointed that there hasn't been too many image based creations for the forum.

Theymos does merit the odd occasional post, but we've never seen this amount of merit get dropped in such a short period of time.

Theymos did something extraordinary this time. Many merits were given to the Bitcointalk 10th anniversary contest participants. To this day there are around 222 Members who received merit from theymos. As long as I join the forum, this is the first time I see theymos having fun. Theymos highly appreciates the work of each member and theymos know which works are worthy of merit. it is extraordinary  :o

I do not think he is taking into consideration the ranks while giving the merits. Theymos has started giving merits to all the posts where he see's someone has done a little or more contribution in bitcointalk.org art contest.
This is the last merited post by theymos till now ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5193860.msg52918457#msg52918457) and it is on page 36.

Also after the page 61, he will merit only very high quality contributions and again all this is done regardless of the rank.
Past page 61, I might not merit the really-low-effort photoshops/template-fills anymore.

as the highest rank in Bitcointalk It is appropriate that Theymos give a merits in the 10th anniversary, this way all members of Bitcointalk will compete to hone their best ideas.  so as to build a brilliant mind, by building a brilliant mind will make this forum even better and more advanced.

My head is going to explode, but I have to get through these... I thought an art contest would be nice and simple...

I didn't thought the pages would still be counting, but I think you gave to much time for the Art-thread :)

I woumd have gone for 10 days or something, 10 days to celebrate 10 amazing forum years  :D

Maybe i'm wrong, but this was a long period.

Longer periods allows for best art.
Art requires time.
Photoshop theme filling or low effort requires no time.
So in the end the choice to give more time was correct.

I guess the final BTC prize and the reference
Quote
to a ton of merit, probably at least 500 in total
drew a lot of attention.



I just respect every give away of any-kind and giving away 1 BTC = very very generous....

I just would have gone for a smaller period, exclude some newbie accounts, multiple entries just trying to catch those coins and merits ::)

When there is free sh*t we get to see the worst of some and thats just pity for some others :)

I think the timing was great. I've seen some really impressive efforts that took several days to 1-2 weeks to complete. The artist obviously needs to have

spent some more time conceptualizing the project, and 1 month gives just about the right time to accomplish all that without feeling rushed / pressured...

Once I wrote in the contest thread that it is going to be a very hard job, to pick winners for BTC prize and also to merit the nice artworks. Double prize, Double work.
I hope you have already marked which artworks you'll be going to pick as winners during merit giveaway, otherwise your head will really explode in next run.

I thought an art contest would be nice and simple...
Not at least when Merit and Bitcoin is the prize because these are the two things most in demand in Bitcointalk.org currently.


This is an easy way for those low-quality posters to grab some merits with some awesome artworks, they can't earn with quality posts but they may have earned with quality artworks.
I'm not discrediting anyone, but if there is someone as I mentioned then its a plus for him/her because it will encourage the user to make quality posts.

I have noticed many entries from newbies, possibly many users grabbed this opportunity to build new alt accounts because of its one in a lifetime opportunity.

Unfortunately, for theymos that wouldn't be fair to the other submissions. I'm guessing he'll review every single piece of art submitted until the cut off date, and time. Fortunately, for theymos we are approaching that. Honestly, I had no idea that this would generate such a buzz, and there's been multiple users crawling out of the woodwork who have been inactive for a while or completely new users.


Title: Re: Merit spree is underway.

or completely new users.
This new users I'm thinking would be alt accounts of users on the forum, probably accounts were created just to try and earn some of the BTC price giveaway.

The good thing about the art contest is that as long as a user does a good artwork, then they're going to be rewarded, either in BTC or merits, not minding if they are shitposters, going through their post history, red tagged or any of those. It's wonderful and it brings the community together, and that's what birthdays celebrations do. :-*

Contest is ending on Nov 22nd, a little bit thant 48 more hours from now.
He pledged to announce the winner a few hours later.
He hasn't done anything after his merit spree with 25 pages left to check.

if theymos doesn't have another team to help him handle this contest?he works hard for this contest.  if there is a delay in announcement it is natural and very understandable.  48 hours left and the work will continue to grow and there will be more than 25 pages left, theymos have half the work again.

Won't this be much more efficient until you are finished with the merit spree?  ;D

Don't do that tho, it will be less efficient for the rest of us, the fact that your if statement is well put means you are a decent programmer, which means you could really be Satoshi after all.

Honestly it is my first time I witnessed continous hours of actively works in the forum from theymos. I know he probably does this but we don't know what he does behind the scenes. This time, with the art contest and his merit-sending activities, we have good evidence that he works hours-in-a-row for the art contest within last few days.

For newbies and restrictions to display images, I guess theymos probably write a script to automatically display images post by newbies. It is not too challenging for our beloved admin. I don't believe theymos does this manually. :D

Initially, he planned to distributed at least 500 merits but from now I think he might distribute at least 5000 merits.  ;D
- I will give out a ton of merit, probably at least 500 in total, based mainly on effort.
I joined the contest and received some merits from theymos too, but merit is not what I truly care about. I would prefer to get this badge but I don't think I have chance to get this (based on merits I received from the contest and what top highest receivers got).
- Between 1 and 20 (depending on number of submissions) people will receive art contest recognition badges: https://bitcointalk.org/Themes/custom1/images/badges/artcontest.png, based mainly on community consensus of who had the best art. In judging consensus, I will be substantially but not entirely influenced by the total amount of merit your art received.

That's 3813 merits in 320 tx's spread over 9h:20m:55s.
One tx every 1m and 45 seconds.
One merit every 8.83 seconds.

Consistently impressive!

Thank you Theymos for putting so much effort in a contest that started as an easy task, but I think slipped out of control!

Not perfect, just for the fun of it.

Honestly it is my first time I witnessed continous hours of actively works in the forum from theymos. I know he probably does this but we don't know what he does behind the scenes. This time, with the art contest and his merit-sending activities, we have good evidence that he works hours-in-a-row for the art contest within last few days.

Theymos definitely does a lot of work behind the scenes that a lot of users don't get to see. For example, he has to do the taxes, mod payments, maintenance of the forum, and also maintain some sort of life outside of the forum. I'm not sure what his logged in time is, but he's extremely active most of the time.

I think theymos has been a little more publicly active this year, and last with the introduction of the merit system, and the recent bumping changes.

Initially, he planned to distributed at least 500 merits but from now I think he might distribute at least 5000 merits.  ;D
I'm expecting similar numbers, but also the number of art badges that are given out because of how many submissions were actually submitted. I imagine those that have received over 30 merit from theymos on their art pieces are likely in the running to receive a badge. Definitely, something of significance to have a badge dedicated to the 10th anniversary which probably won't be reused in further forum contests if there are any.

Great edit :o :o man. So this is your entry for the contest?? :) :) Just kidding.

Anyway, What theymos have done is really incredible on this anniversary. I am very fortunate to have been a member of this forum and an opportunity to celebrate such a scarce anniversary.
Therefore, maybe around 30 hours is left to reach our desired time. So let's celebrate this anniversary as memorable with our own fun.

And thus it will be known as the "great airdrop of 2019". Its nice to see some users who wouldn't normally get merit through a different means which still requires effort to be made. Hopefully, this encourages these users to push on, and start contributing more to the community. Bitcointalk offers opportunities to its communities that you don't see anywhere else.

I'm just putting an assumption out there maybe he'll be considering those with 10+ or whatever. It would be nice if he rewarded the badges to only exceptional pieces or potentially offering badges to those who excelled in a certain field of art. For example, hand painted, digitally painted, and poems ;) ;) ;)

Nah, I'm just kidding. Hopefully, these badges are kept somewhat rare, but enough to not just disappear because of users going inactive. I hope to see these badges in 10 years from now, and it can remind us of the 10th anniversary.

I don't say users who got merits from theymos for their arts don't deserve it. I appreciated their time to make their arts, with Photoshop, paints, wood, cakes, whatever kind of art; they truly made efforts for their arts.

But with talented artists they can do it much easier than most of us; but it does not make sure they are not good posters. As I said, they deserve merits they earned from their good arts but let's see how they will move forwards in weeks or months to come. They will be motivated and move upwards faster (in ranks and in post quality / contributions) or they will stucked with shitposts after likely satisfying with their new ranks (some of them hit their new ranks). It does not matter because if they won't improve their post quality (than before the art contest), they will stuck again. What I am curious is how they behave after the contest.

The speed at which Theymos merits the art contest entries, by the time the contest ends, he would have seen all the entries and would have finished meriting. Incredible !!!

I only dropped like 200 merit, and my head hurts. I think I'm all art'd out for the next 10 years. Who said we were lacking Bitcointalk.org mascots, and image based content? :P

I reckon he needs to review the whole thread twice just to make sure he hasn't missed any gems :D

Much appreciated the work of theymos as our moderator. It reflects how good he is as an event and contest organizer as well as being a judge. I could've explode my own head when I do that stuffs, he gone wild for like 2 days, It's like a merit rave party   :D I do have my own top 20 bets on the art contest, now I'm just waiting to the winners. Goodluck to all!

Good for him he stopped meriting low quality art, it was taken advantage by those who just want merits with no valuable posts.

For anyone doing analysis: When someone makes multiple submissions, I consider the merit I've already given them when deciding how much merit to give later submissions. So if someone posts two submissions to which I'd normally give 50 merit, the second one will get less. Therefore, it'd be most accurate to consider my merit awards in terms of total per-person rather than per-submission.

I was doing it (weekly, not quasi-real time) four fold for the Spanish Local board
(see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5193863.msg53093347#msg53093347):

-   Per post (global)
-   Per Meriter (global)
-   Per Merited (global - indicating number of contributors and number of merited posts)
-   Local board vision

I figure I'll update it tomorow morning for my local board.
