Title: [QUESTION] Most Merited Users List
Post by: mediaBuzz on March 07, 2020, 12:52:44 PM
Is it possible to get a list of the most merited users list in a given time? I mean what was the list after a month when the merit system was implemented? after six months? on 15 June 2019? etc. Please, let me know if the question was made in the wrong section. Thanks.

I think this thread is the answer [CLUBS] Top Merited-Users Classified into 4 Clubs (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5115154.0)
This data has been started from February 28,2019 till now, usually update every week.

Is it possible to get a list of the most merited users list in a given time?

I only found that thread to track top merit user in this forum, maybe other members can help you more, just wait :)

I don't know if you can have it now. I have seen the list of people who received the most merit for a period of time on BPIP, but now it has been removed or I am no longer in TOP1000 so I cannot see  ::) So for this data, you can request it here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5213618)

Or you can come here  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5145594.msg53848624#msg53848624)and ask LoyceV about his database, he can help you

Thanks for the replies. I'll try asking someone who has access to this data.

ChuckBuck, you can still see all your merit history, just click on your Merit Information (https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?id=207430). List of all top merited users is also available here Most Merited (https://bpip.org/report.aspx?r=mostmerited), and by click on any profile we can see the whole history of any user from Day 1 until today.

I don't know if you can have it now. I have seen the list of people who received the most merit for a period of time on BPIP, but now it has been removed or I am no longer in TOP1000 so I cannot see  ::)
That ranking is now based on total merit (Airdropped merits+earned merit)
To see the ranking based on earned merit you can use the link below.
https://bpip.org/report.aspx?r=earnedmerit



In my opinion the best tool for such statistics is the merit dashboard created by DdmrDdmr (https://public.tableau.com/profile/ddmrddmr#!/vizhome/BitcointalkMeritDashboard/ReceivedMeritChart)
It is possible to see statistics at any time period you want.
To change the dates, you can use "Date Filter" at top of the page.

You can also use this link (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=topusers) to see 50 top-merited users in last 30 days.

Let me rephrase my question. What was the list of top 10 most merited users on 24th Feb 2018 which is a month after the system implementation? Is it possible to get this data without checking every single user's merit history?

No, you don't understand what I mean and what OP needs  ::) I'm talking about the top 1000 users who receive the most merit in a short period of time, for example within a week or a month. I was in there for a while, but now I'm no longer there, so I can't find the link.

Yes, that's possible.
Visit merit dashboard created by DdmrDdmr (https://public.tableau.com/profile/ddmrddmr#!/vizhome/BitcointalkMeritDashboard/ReceivedMeritChart)

Then select "rankings" at top of the page.
After that use "Date Filter" for changing the dates.
From: 1/24/2018
To: 2/24/2018

Below is the ranking.

1. theymos (1531)
2. Lutpin (686)
3. satoshi (606)
4. nullius (486)
5. pitipawn (478)
6. Lauda (443)
7. TMAN (342)

I think this thread is the answer [CLUBS] Top Merited-Users Classified into 4 Clubs (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5115154.0)
This data has been started from February 28,2019 till now, usually update every week.
That one is for whole time since the merit system was kicked off, but I can also do a list of top merited users in a given period, like this one.
Due to respect to merit sources and the core ideas of keeping sources as in secret as possible, I don't give data on them here.

I have some summary statistics and box plots for the top 100 meriters, during whole time (2018w4 to 2020w2), and in specific years (2018, 2019).
From the raw tables, you can see the median of weekly gave-away merits from the top 100 meriters, over all 4 groups have increased over years. You can also see it from the box plot, medians represent by these lines inside each boxes.

There are some factors:
  • They earned more by themselves.
  • Their merit giving-away behaviour changed.
  • Their monthly sMerit allocation increased

Expectation:
I do expect the median of weekly gave-away merits will keep increasing in the year 2020. New merit sources and new rising stars rock!

Box plot:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, I don't see convincible reasons to do that. If I want to create a list of most regularly merit-earners, I would go to the median of their daily earned merits (the p50) and sort them out descendingly to get the top most regularly merit-earners.

Such list reflect both three factors:
- Their total earned merits.
- Their regularity in merit-earning.
- Their level of stable activitites.

I also have this analysis, from which I calculated the difference between medians of top merit-earners in the two period (two years, 2018 and 2019). See details (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5185770.msg53595965#msg53595965)
You can look at it and see the changes (represented by medianchange) shows how one user changed activities and helpfulness on the forum between 2 years.

As being written, I would not go with it (even I can do this).

Just a few small details to complete what @hosseinimr93 kindly outlined:

- The Merit Dashboard is build on Tableau Public. As such, it is free for developers and users, but comes with a small price: The board times out after something like 4 minutes of inactivity (meaning you have to refresh the page and reset filters if this happens).

- The Date slider on the Rankings Tab (as in all other Tabs where it appears) can be adjusted either by dragging the semi-circular edged of the slider, or clicking on the dates on either end of the slider, and selecting them off the calendar. Additionally, you can simply overwrite the dates on either end. I normally use this latter method.

- There are many places on the Dashboard where clicking does something additional like filtering or gaining access to a link. For example, clicking any name on the Merited List allows you to go to that profile on Bitcointalk.
