You are welcome.
In just 6 years you have reached the second merit list. You are not a moderator or an admin in the forum. However, the second merit position is yours. Your research and help is really inspiring. Going to the top leaving theymos behind. That's my idea. Maybe wait a little longer.

6 years ago, there was no merit system  ::)

In the six-year forum he wanted to explain it.

The second merit list....is what, exactly?  I know LoyceV has earned a lot of merits, but I'm not sure he's #2 as far as that goes, though I could be wrong.  I haven't checked the rankings in a while.

This is the second thread so far today that's mentioned LoyceV as a successor to Theymos, and I'm not sure where that's coming from.  Not that I'd think it would be a bad thing necessarily, but Theymos hasn't given any indication that he's stepping down from the God On High position, and I'd think that there would be some financial aspects of the chain of succession that would preclude even a member as valued as LoyceV from replacing Theymos.

Once again, I'm confused as to what you mean.  I'd ask you to clarify that statement, but I'm not sure it'd help.

The user stats shows Loyce at the #2 spot on merit ranking - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=topusersat
The list is a not very current, as the merit count of some users are off, but it shows that sometime recently that was the ranking, and judging by the difference in merits on the list and on LoyceV's profile, #2 is the correct ranking.
BPIP (https://bpip.org/) also shows the same ranking with more updated figures.

As far as I know, that list is updated real-time. But it doesn't count Merit sent by userID 0 (https://loyce.club/Merit/history/0.html).
You'll have to dig into forum history if you want to find out what that's all about :)

The name "deMerit" is something I made up, but later on it was also used to send Merit.

Ah, thanks for checking that and thus providing a translation for OP's posts.  I thought there were at least 2 members who had more merits than LoyceV--Theymos and satoshi, but I guess I'm mistaken (again, I hadn't looked at the list in a long time).  That's impressive, LoyceV, though you've clearly earned every merit you've received.

Hm.  That's interesting, and perhaps I'll take a look at the links you and Upgrade00 provided.  As much as I love this forum, I don't spend a lot of time on BPIP or looking at statistics--though when I do, I always find it fascinating.

Edit:  Holy cow, I just checked the BPIP link from Upgrade00 and found that I was way off by thinking satoshi had as many merits as I thought he did.  I guess it makes sense, as people see posts by o_e_l_e_o, fillippone, LoyceV, and the others at the top more so than ones by satoshi.  Cool stuff, thanks again Upgrade00!

I got nothing against LoyceV but he did spew a load of stats crap for awhile that was essentially useless and gained him alot of merit from the guys who like stats. Aside from that, he has been an exceptional forum member and extremely helpful to everyone.

I have been summoned into this thread and I don’t even understand what is it all about.
I guess the last person to fight for position #2 with LoyceV was @ddmrddmr a lot of time ago, and the next one will be @theymos..in 45 merits (surprise expected)
So at least it’s a bad timing to post this thread.

OP has a history, and the history is about the thirst for merits. He will do anything  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5343711.msg57233926#msg57233926)to be showered with some

Merit post for merit?
We know everyone those are active on reputation & meta that LocyeV is the best contributor and helpful for the forum. And at the same time, he is one of the top merit earners as well. It doesn't necessary to create a separate thread for each top contributor and merit earner.

I personally like him. This is my first congratulations to him on this thread. I will congratulate him here when Merit reaches first place.

Not sure if I should be flattered or scared :P
I think this is the right topic: LoyceV's reputation thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4826180.0).

Welcome LoyceV. We're so glad you've arrived.

Just follow us to the celebration downstairs.

The OP has recently created a lot of topics in the hope that his "noble ideas" will be showered merits. At first, he was going to arrange a charity event, paying for newbies who have an evil IP. Now he sucks up to LoyceV, and also plans to be a manager with negative trust.
OP I'm worried about your mental health, are you okay? :'( :'( :'(

As it is often said, flattery won't get you anywhere.


I have read the thread and I find OP quite ridiculous. He reminds me of those beginners or junion members creating a thread to praise the merit system, it is clear that they do it to see if they catch some merit.

Well, I see that this one is learning now also how the trust system works...



...and he insists to be a campaing manager (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5352413.msg57604224#msg57604224) instead of campaign manager.



....I actually find this a pretty valid question and I second it.

Wow, shiny internet points! I wonder what you can do with them all...

He be #1 bro, that's what he does with them. O0

F#&*, one short of 51. Deymsun....

Ain't an AI was programmed to multi task? This should be easy tho 😛
