Title: [FUN] Is DdmrDdmr even human?
Post by: fillippone on March 05, 2019, 10:39:23 PM
I got recently merited by @DdmrDdmr.
So out of curiosity I clicked on his profile and saw his sent merit summary (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=1582324)...I scrolled down a little bit and I saw this:

Dear lord is this in the realm of human capabilities?

https://i.postimg.cc/Z5gfWwdk/F8626-D1-A-6-B36-42-E7-AF1-C-3-DEB00-FA905-D.png

I couldn’t even fit all the merits on a single page of my iPad.

So that I quickly escalated to his own tool:

DdmrDdmr sent merits on Feb 3rd (https://public.tableau.com/shared/Z8BQFWPKC?:display_count=yes)

https://i.postimg.cc/d0NTsfkd/89-A72-E75-4-AF2-4368-8-AE2-34-D6149-A3-DD5.jpg

That’s 257 sent merits from February 03, 2019, 02:28:01 PM to February 03, 2019, 04:47:30 PM.
257 sMerits in 140 minutes.
Almost a transaction every 30 seconds (I am not even capable of accurately compute)
Almost every merits on a different thread from the preceding one.
How can a human being have such an activity focus?
He was on drugs?
He’s a mutant/new human breed?
Does he ready the matrix?
I am scared!

Yes, he's an illegitimate offspring of LoyceV and John Connor.

And this thread is just an excuse to fool us of course: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105622

Is that why I tried to have him nuked when he was a newbie? I can't find the link on mobile.
Some say I'm human either.

He must be a crazy creature then.

And no,sorry, I was totally unaware of THAT thread, otherwise I wouldn’t have crafted THIS thread: even if it was a good fun, it was way less entertaining than reading THAT thread.

It's impressive how computers and the internet can be addictive. Many users spend many hours a day here, making incredible contributions to the community. Ddmr is one of them of course.

I believe this should be in reputation board.

Thats was the exact question I asked myself either, I was surprised when I came across him on a thread and I was like who is this guy who already has the merit to him a legend account holder. Gosh! I was jealous of him
 ;D

Are you just noticing the DdmrDdmr account? To understand better you need dig deeper because his merit history won't tell you much, click on his post history and observe his posting style (pattern). You'll be amaze how identical they look but yet with different meaning and always on topic. The account is definitely been operated by an AI  lol ;D

So that I quickly escalated to his own tool:
DdmrDdmr sent merits on Feb 3rd (https://public.tableau.com/shared/Z8BQFWPKC?:display_count=yes)
… and here do I discover a possibility of Tableau Public which I was not aware of: being able to share a specific filtered view (I’ve though it was specific to Tableau Server or Tableau Online, although they have other means to do it). That kind of makes me merit the OP, although it may not look too good, and seem weak with the merit trigger in response for praise. The praise I do leave aside though, and focus on the additional perk that could come in useful in a broader context than just my own.
 
While I’m at it, I might as well respond:
Quote
<…> 257 sMerits in 140 minutes.
I rushed it a bit more between 14:28 ..15:30 UTC really: 250 awarded sMerits in those 62 minutes. I really wanted to empty my personal sMerit bag that day in a though out manner.

Quote

I had a few tricks up my sleeve to be pretty swift at the task, being one of the primal ones to put household inhabitants on ignore during that timeframe.

Quote

Nope (that does not stand for "no dope") to all three.

Edit: It seems this may lead to confusion. Never touched drugs. Nearest approximations would be coke (coca-cola variant), and ibuprofen as an appetizer for long days on the computer.

I was aware of the risk, that’s why I posted the label [FUN] to the post: it wasn’t merit praising honestly, but just unproductive way to spend my time.

Regarding the sharing options I wasn’t obviously aware of it, but after preparing the image for the post I noticed in it the universal “share” symbol, I tested It and worked as expected, so I used it.


Title: [FUN] Is nullius even human?
Post by: Heisenberg_Hunter on March 06, 2019, 11:32:52 AM
...snip...

Last year, there was a similar thread for nullius I think. Not just to praise him, but he was a perfect example of how a guy should be in a public forum!  He was not only the fastest merit receiver, but was the most knowledgeable member this forum has ever seen, the perfect English speaking nerd and what not. Some of the newcomers would have never known about him, but I urge everyone to look into his post history not just to know how to receive merits, but to educate yourself on various topics.

During the early times of merit introduction in this forum, there weren't enough merit sources and inspite of that he managed to receive 700+ merits. Each of his posts deserves at least 20+ merits and if he was active till now, he should have surpassed the merits of theymos easily. People even went to the extent of doxxing him due to his insane popularity. He didn't stick to just one board but had a wide range of knowledge ranging from cryptography to Politics. He was the only guy who used segvan bitcoin address in the whole community and has even developed a tool to generate one. Some people even today believe that he was a rebirth of satoshi  :P

Oh. I think this is a nice move for admin so as newbie and other low rank will be encourage to invest and learn more about bitcoin. The rank is one of the factor that will satisfy the users joining the forum.and this could be one reason for a user to do more research and even will going to invest on bitcoin and we will all have a good market for.cryprocurrency. LOL. Just a a little.optimistic here.

You have to increase the font size of “source” link. I didn’t notice it and had to google the thing to take the bait!!
I realised you put that only when replying!

To be fair, @qwk takes the lead in a 24 hour period.

If we look at it from who merited most people in a single second, @LoyceV ruled until @Theymos came along and sent 15 negative TXs from the forum account.

Sure we believe you DdmrDdmr LoyceV. In all seriousness, I think we need to evolve our defense against these bots that are spreading useful, and informative data around the forum! We are not used to this, we need more "great project".......Okay so actually be serious this time. I'm not sure if anyone else does this, but I used to keep a list of posts to merit before I was a source, and I haven't actually gone through most of the posts on there so I imagine my merit sent could look something like this soon :P

I've never been out of sMerit, so I didn't have to make a list. I even have enough sMerit left to beat qwk's 423 Merit transactions in a day, but doing it just to hold the record doesn't seem right :P
I wish you good luck trying to beat my 4 in a second :D Lately, I haven't really been trying, but I'll make it my mission to reach 5 now.

There is a third one on a different second (maybe a you gave me three in a second, but server clock lapped before the third).
I think you can improve, further testing is necessary!

This evening my merit wristband whirred unexpectedly: a merit from @ddmrddmr for an old post.
“Oh, weird...Wait, could it be??”
I rushed to my keyboard, checked his meriting profile and my merit-rascal instinct was right:
He did it again!

After a few false starts last minute tweaks to his AI controlled, neural network trained, blockchain verified, 3D printed meriting machine, he sent a good amounts of merits in one batch:

294 merits to 294 different users from 17:45:06 to 18:16:03.
That’s 294 merits in 30:57 or 1857 seconds or more than 1 merits every 6.5 seconds.

I’m impressed.

As he sent merits to 1107 according to bpip.org (https://bpip.org/Profile?p=DdmrDdmr), I guess he used some very sophisticated algorithms to select the profile to send merits to.

I tip my hat to this periodic merit stash offload activity: every time he’s getting more efficient at it. Next time I expect a 5 second sustained average for at least 30 minutes.

Yep. Thank you for comenting about this.

Earlier today, I was looking at the bot activity to maybe catch any possible issue and suddenly saw the rain of merits and notifications through my second monitor. It scared the shit out of me. I though it was another case of the nullius notification bug or the bot was going crazy. It was also a nice second stress-test, since AFAIK, the bot didn't miss a single one of them.

Post by: Bthd on September 20, 2020, 07:59:04 PM
I checked the list. He sent the merits to the old posts which already merited by him. He has too much merits and no time so he sent merits equaaly to the old merited posts by himself. Yep, it cant be manual :).

When I saw that he merited my old post, I instantly thought that DdmrDdmr is doing his AI things again :D. It's not the first time when he give merits to old posts that he had already merited before. I have no idea how exactly he is doing it, but I'm pretty sure that he isn't human :D.
I haven't checked stats, but I got impression that there is less merits is given in recent weeks. So, it's good that DdmrDdmr added some merits to the "market".

All this remind me of the competition those too guys had some time ago. Who was going to merit more posts in a second :D
If you are struggling imaging that battle let me be a bit more illustrative:

It's either DdmrDdmr's laptop has crash again because of him fetching a lot of data, and resulting  to a lot of page errors on his part, then refreshing it that causing him to award members very quick. At least that's what I was informed when he accidentally merited me thrice before.

You may not have read his explanation on this post- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5117342.msg50042856#msg50042856
DdmrDdmr often goes through all the posts they have merited and merit them again. I think DdmrDdmr does this before his monthly smerit get replenished. It may be an accident in your case though.

DdmrDdmr is one of the most active users and most merited, because every time I visit a thread there is a name "DdmrDdmr(1)" also most of the time I visit his merit history the same with LoyceV and suchmoon because I want to become active like them but my knowledge is not enough so I still continuously learning, also they are giving merit to the people who deserve it by this kind of generosity they continuously serve as a good member.

DdmrDdmr really deserve this badges.

I kind of keep a log of these meriting sprees on this thread:  321 profiles merited (by me) in 50 minutes – What’s got over me? (v 5.0) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105622.msg49567272#msg49567272), although I’ve only updated the OP during my last couple of sprees, without adding a trailing post.

On the five occasions I’ve done it so far, the idea behind is to award my earned sMerits (as opposed to the Source sMerits). I do that whenever they build-up to a decent amount, and the Source sMerits are low enough to allow the procedure to bite largely into the earned sMerits.

The criteria on this occasion was:
Quote
On this occasion, I have re-merited posts (that I’d previously merited at some point) following this criteria:
- Merit the last post I’ve previously merited.
- Of all non-banned profiles.
- That have been active this year (logged-in during 2020).
- No remeriting already remerited posts.
- No remeriting 10th art anniversary post (except for a bunch that, once I saw them, led me to modify my criteria from there on).
- No remerit if last merited post (by me) has been deleted since then, or the user is ignored.
- No merit nor rank barrier.
I may have skipped a couple of cases due to 503 errors and such.

You guys are having serious fun with this merit distribution. It's out of my league :-P

I used to know LoyceV as the AI, robot, bot whatever you want, name it but it seems we have a competitor for him. Good to know DdmrDdmr. I am feeling my age now (not near to Jet Cash) :-D

I have no idea how exactly he is doing it, but I'm pretty sure that he isn't human :D.
I imagine there are some bot is working behind.
1. Give it the list of the links of the pages
2. Allocate the number of merits you want to give to each link (if not the same amount for all)
3. Execute the bot.

This should be pretty easy if such things can be scripted. I would not wonder if DdmrDdmr and LoyceV has such skills. They are good at Data and maybe some little applications too.

Writing a bot probably takes longer than doing it manually: just get the list (Full Merit history for: Royse777 (https://loyce.club/Merit/history/366632.html)), open the links in a new Tab, and Merit them.

Interesting.
Maybe from now on I will start saving my earned sMerits and once I will have 300 then I am going to give it a try. But instead of giving merit to the post I already gave merit, I will start collecting a list of links for that day :-P

PS: A bot may takes time to program but once it's done then wouldn't it be easier than doing things manually?

Even better, you can just make POST requests to the merit URL. Saddly, I don't think I have enough sMerits to try that out. :D

Code:
POST https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;msg=55234944

  merits: 1
  msgID: 55234944

How do I execute this code and how can I have a list of links and what is this sc there?

AFAIK, it's kinda of a "session code" that acts as a CSRF token (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_request_forgery). You can get that, for example, from the "logout" button.

Right click "Logout", copy the URL, get the sesc=xxxxxxxxxxxx and make a request with JS from your browser (with the browser's console or with a tampermonkey script, etc...) or also grab your account's cookies and make a POST request through your own code/script or through Postman, Insomnia, etc...

I will probably play a bit with it. I'm thinking about an extension or script where you can save posts and later mass merit them. ::)

If there's a way to post this with wget (https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/) I'm interested.

This works:

Code:
wget 'https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;msg=55224119' \
  --no-http-keep-alive \
  --header 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  --header 'cookie: __cfduid=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX; SMFCookie129=YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY; sessionid=ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ' \
  --post-data 'merits=1&msgID=55224119&sc=ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ' &> /dev/null

You just need to figure out how to get the "sc" and your cookies. You could put them manually or do what I'm doing with my Telegram bot when it gets logged out: login and get the cookies (which also gives you the "sc" code).

edit: hmm... did you want a literal "post"? I still think you said post as send the (merit) post request.

The procedure I’ve been using so far is not that cool, and requires me to be at the keyboard clicking away like mad for the duration of the spree, with some SQL to select the URLs, and a plugin to open the URLs in batches.

Lately, I was playing around a bit with python to scrape profiles for now (seems to work now). Just when I finished monkeying around on this last spree, I thought I could try to do it in python, similarly to the scraper procedure, and I didn’t really give it a go until after seeing updates on this thread.
It seemed rather straight forward (although I’m novel on python, which makes me progress slowly), until I encountered that the I was not retrieving the "sc" value properly for the post command (I thought I was retrieving the proper value, but was not, leading to an expired session message when issuing the post command, which drove me nuts thinking it was something to do with the cookies).

The code is crap for now, but I managed award the last six merits on two separate tests using python:

Of course, when one manually edits a MessageId and accidently leaves out a digit, you get to merit a stray post from 2014 on the Altcoin board (cost of not having debugged the second test run I did over the last 3 awarded sMerits …).

Now it’s a question of placing the URLs to merit in a DB table, connect and loop and mark as done (watching out for cloudflare). I may try that next time round I go on one of these sprees.

This is more for those that understand the basics of a language and can somehow implement those ideas. I'm just showing how the requests are handled on the forum so you can merit or post with a simple HTTP request. From that, you can use JS, Python or your UNIX terminal to do whatever you want with it.

If you know how to make a HTTP POST request then, well... it's basically what I posted above.

POST request to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=post2 with the headers I already mentioned and your account cookies. The body of the request has the fields:

Code:
topic=5117342
subject=Test
icon=xx
message=Posting with wget...
notify=0
post=Post
additional_options=0
sc=ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Where sc is the code we already talked above before.

You can literally copy the wget command I posted, change what you need to change (cookies, sc, post subject, body, topic id), paste on your UNIX terminal (e.g if you're on Ubuntu) and press enter. For more sofisticated solutions, that's on you for what exactly you want.

It's exactly what it says - a timeout, the sc value is valid only for a certain period. Always fetch a new sc before posting.

I have no idea why, but I also keep getting the "session expired" error with the code I used previously (with the right sc/sessionid).

I tried this one on two different servers and it seems to be working (maybe some extra headers were required?):


edit:

I have no idea how this works.

First of all, most of the headers are actually useless.

1. I can make this work:

Code:
wget 'https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=post2' \
  --no-http-keep-alive \
  --no-cache \
  --header 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  --header 'cookie: __cfduid=AAAAAAAAAAAAAA; SMFCookie129=BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB; sessionid=CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC' \
  --post-data 'subject=test&message=Posting with wget&topic=5278410&sc=DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD'

2. And I think adding those may help

Code:
--no-http-keep-alive \
--no-cache \

But sending it many times I notice that sometimes it gives me the "session expired" error, and sometimes it just works. It's a loterry. :P

I will make some experiments.

You can use splinter (a python package) to post via automation. See lines 53-58 of my automod bot (https://github.com/numberedprime7/self-moderator-bot/blob/master/self_moderator.py) for how to login via automation. Logging in requires you to fill text boxes with text (your username and password), which is what you do when you post. You can find the documentation (https://splinter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/driver-and-element-api.html#splinter.driver.DriverAPI.fill) for filling text in a text box in your browser.

A drawback of using splinter is it doesn't have a good way of knowing if a page has finished loading. If you are running into issues with pages not loading quickly enough, you can use time.sleep(x) with x being the number of seconds you estimate will be sufficient for pages to load, or you can use the requests package. Requests is a little more tricky to use with sites requiring authentication.

This goes far above my capabilities :( I used to have a working python script for posting, but it stopped working at some point and I don't know why. It looks like TryNinja ran into the same problems with wget as I did.
I don't really need a posting bot, but I could do nice things with it if I have one again. Posting a link as response to a post for instance, instead of just external data dumps (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5256854.0).

@DdmrDdmr is also one of my top merit contributors, I am so thankful to him because it always give me motivation whenever I received merit, and most of the time is because of him as a beginner this thing is normal. I always checked his profile out of curiosity and he is always giving so many merits every day, I wonder how many hours he spends on this forum for giving merits and posting as well. He seems so loyal and a good member of this forum and it can be seen on his profile. Thanks a lot to him.

Can't go on silent mode behind the scenes these days, with all those darn bots … (kidding)
 186 profiles merited (by me) in under 3 minutes – What’s got over me? (v 8.0) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105622.msg49567272#msg49567272)

I log my sprees on the above thread, to record the criteria I used and the overall amount awarded. My intention was to merit 190 profiles, but 4 must have been banned or recently ignore accounts (either that, or my process skips a beat every now and then).

<…> I wish I could spray merits like that, but I do it the old-fashioned way by judging posts as I read them <…>
That’s what I do, but when I accumulate for a while, I remerit some of my previously already read and merited messages (no machine learning AI yet).

Man, I can't think of a drug in existence that would allow a human being to distribute that many merits across so many threads that quickly--so that's some evidence in favor of DmdrDmdr not being human.  I looked at that page and was amazed myself.  I don't know what kind of bot he used (even though he explained it), but hopefully those members who got some of those merits were truly deserving of them.

I wish I could spray merits like that, but I do it the old-fashioned way by judging posts as I read them (and 90% or more are pure crap).

I checked the list. He sent the merits to the old posts which already merited by him. He has too much merits and no time so he sent merits equaaly to the old merited posts by himself.

That’s what I do, but when I accumulate for a while, I remerit some of my previously already read and merited messages (no machine learning AI yet).

Thanks to this thread, and these comments, I've found the answer.

I was curious about this and I was thinking of sending him a PM because it has happened to me the times he has merited me, that after a while he would send me a merit again for the same post. In fact the last time was yesterday, and I didn't know why this pattern was happening.

Is that even permitted or not eyebrow raising since you are spraying and praying basically your merits. I am sure that if I were to do that kind of thing, I would be flagged as merit abusing, what's the secret?

The secret is in reading the criteria used, and furthermore, understanding it. Remeriting some posts with an additional +1, when they initially likely received a +1 to begin with, is basically the same as having given them +2 initially.

Remeriting by the criteria I use, is a means to avoid them being wasted. Were the boss to be contrary to my criteria, I have no issue letting them burn.

Well you could technically say that but if other users were to do that, I am sure that they are going to be on the hot water and being scrutinized. Well, if I do this kind of thing in the future at the least I can defend myself with this thread.

No, you can defend yourself with the criteria you set for yourself, not with the criteria someone else is using (which is not that easy to mimic ©), and that is complementary to hours upon end of reading people’s posts.

Context also has a saying:1439 distinct accounts merited by me in 9.958 TXs, with a measly average of 1,12 Merits/TX, is not the same as a person only remeriting posts of his three pals over and over again.

Boss agrees:
It's best if sources try to exhaust their source allocations, even if it means giving posts higher amounts than is typical. If you have 150 source merit and you only see 3 merit-worthy posts in a month, then I'd rather you over-give each of them 50 merit than let the merit expire. That way there are more people capable of sending merit, and the "merit economy" is less top-down.

Drop a good post and refresh it a few seconds away and DdmrDdmr merit is on it, you see him on all the boards and sub-board, at this point I must admit that DdmrDdmr is not human, no human can be this fast at the speed of light and efficient at the same time. He has merited 85% of the 3Millon users on the forum.

LoyceV is an apha man he/she works better with or without energy, I won't go into details today LV. I'll get a special thread for you.

Agreed. That guy is a super human, I've never noticed but I had some response post and saw his smerit dropping on it. Among all those have been merited, its also fascinating to see that those post or comments are all good and not just a simple post.

One of the best user in the forum newbie and other users should look up to is DdmrDdmr. Really curious by his name actually like it means.

Yep, I've also received merit from him today on an old topic he already merited almost one month ago.
I guess that he keeps a database of posts to merit at some point when his sMerit is getting replenished.
Unfortunately this is not a definitive proof that he's not human, since people can do this too (but obviously way less effective than DdmrDdmr)

What is the rule for when Merit Sources get replenished?

From my observation: each sMerit respawns after exactly 30 days (up to the second).

There’s no way to go silent now on these sprees (I do update my log with the criteria: 210 posts merited (by me) in just over 3 minutes – What’s got over me? (v 9.0) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105622.0) to keep an open track).

I've changed the criteria on this occasion, and remerited every non-banned, non-ignored (a posteriori) post I’ve merited over the last 30 days (as opposed to a longer period and 1 remerit only per person).

I could easily avoid doing this by upscaling my meriting habits (1->2 and 2->3), but long standing habits take time to break, and I’ve already reverted to my measly default 1 after the spree...

-   @fillippone get excited, and presses the accelerator pedal whilst urging to see the details.
-   Traffic light (hopefully) comes to the rescue, providing a minute to scribble a post.

No, the bot was made by TryNinja, I'm using it too. Just simply @fillippone got (re)merited by DdmrDdmr and then checked DdmrDdmr merit history.
I know since I've received a notification too for getting re-merited  ;D

I can confirm I received an automated remerit on one of my posts.

It should not be terribly difficult to detect when someone is sending merit via automated means, and someone could even create a script to quickly notify the forum as much.

When i also opened up my account today and was surprised and happy at the same time to see that 7 merits have been received and just opened up the merit history and to no shock found the real life human merit machine @DdmrDdmr has dropped them on previous post made by me once again.Usually this happens a lot like if you see he gives out most at 1-2 merits to user at LN speed and after a certain times he remerit them with one extra merit for some not all of the posts in his style and you could see from his merit history.I was not aware about this thread and pooped up on this and want to write about it.As said by other users he is not giving away merits to particular boards but overall forum members whether sub-board also in same speed.

The image shared by you is preety much accurate for btc passionate like us and feel happy that our contribution is being recognised and motivates us to write-up more quality posts in future.But yes he has some superpowers which shows him whenever a good post is made on the forum and he press the merit button on them ;D

How in the hell is he that fast like seriously 2.04 merits per second? It usually takes me 4-5 minutes to find out a good post on the forum which is worth meriting and I have to go through ton load of shitposts to find them hiding under that pile.But speaking of @DdmrDdmr he has surely some sensing nerves on the forum like an AI robot who detects the good posts on the forum and press the merit button hard on it.The pattern which i have detected for him is like giving 1-2 merits on the quality posts and guides whether on any board and then after few time re-meriting them with 1-2 making total merits in this manner at last 3-4.But i was not aware of that speed.Even Buggati Veyron takes a little longer to reach 100km/h but that's surely that he is some super human when it comes to meriting the members.

Going to make an digital illustration on his speed like the one above for his speed.The one like Flash @DdmrDdmr with lightning speed of merits given.

Appreciate you also @fillippone for taking out this detailed results for his merit spree.

He uses a script to actually send the merit. He also uses a database query to get a list of posts he has previously sent merit to that meet certain criteria. The output from his database query is used as input for his script.

Yea, that is my bad. I forgot to add in the number of seconds to the total.

It appears that DdmrDdmr is getting so efficient at sending merit that he doesn't even have to visit the send merit page.

IIRC, the merit DdmrDdmr sends in these bursts is not even his merit source sMerit, it is his personal merit that he sends when he runs out of source sMerit.

Spree caught me driving and I did have to sort of stop coz I jumped a bit thanks to so many notifications out of the blue... if 1000 ways to die was still a thing, getting showered in merits could have some potential for it

I was actually thinking about activating the spree at some rough morning hour (on my end), in an attempt to favour waking someone up, over them getting distracted from the road. Left it as is for now (maybe next time, but I killed the fun by mentioning it now).

Note: I used to run Source Merits down, and the sprees did try to nibble into the personal merit allocation. With the last merit allowance increase I seem to only be able to do so budget the spree with Source Merits. They are now low enough though to, perhaps, start depleting the personal Merits in a week or two though regular usage (let’s see) …

For the records, my Merit band is muted between 1:00 AM and 7:00 AM (you all know which timezone I am referring to), so doing a merits spree during these hours wouldn't activate it.

You seem to have lost track of my log (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105622.msg49567272#msg49567272), where I register the details of the used criteria … Over my last three sprees, I shifted gears, and instead of meriting with a unit per TX, I moved on to doubling the original amount on all sent TXs within a given timeframe.
The idea in this criteria upgrade was to come closer to depleting my allowance after the last booster upgrade. Nevertheless, I still come far from my objective (and even more so this month, where I performed 42% worse than the prior month in my goal).

Note: I excluded doubling one 21 sMerit TX  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5370319.msg58413389#msg58413389), which I accidently multiplied by a factor of 10,5 from the intended amount … first lapsus of a kind in that range for me …

It actually delimited to 1 second, although I may attempt to go below the mark and, subsequently, need to perform multiple retries (the first TXs start off pretty fast, but after a few seconds, I encounter needing to perform elfish retries).

Merit xMas to quite a few (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105622.msg49567272#msg49567272), but more importantly, Merry xMas to all and a Bitcoin New Year.

Anyway, hopefully speaking of another life, you did not mean other variants of yourself, since I would not like to report this to TVA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teams_and_organizations_of_the_Marvel_Cinematic_Universe#Time_Variance_Authority).

I've noticed the merit spree lsat evening, but I didn't come in. I've been thinking it last evening, I'll tell it now:

Merry Christmas DdmrDdmr, Merry Christmas to all of you around here and also Merry Christmas to your families or whoever is important to you!

The sheer size and efficiency of this last spree leave the others in the dust.

https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/15/blob5722d1ecc65df6f2.jpeg

Here, a quick analysis of the spree:

https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/15/blob8abb0a084527336e.jpeg

In his own words:

Version 18 - 06/03/2022  (255 posts merited (by me) in just over 4 minutes) -> 318 sMerits
Remerited all my merited posts since my last spree (+ some backlogged pending ones), for non-banned users (from last friday backwards).

Full doubler again ... remeriting each concerned post with the same amount of merits as the first time.
That should equate to having handed out a higher amount to begin with, effectively converting 1->2 , 2->4, 3->6, and so forth.
Already remerited posts are not merited again.

If we compare DdmrDdmr's sent merit in the last 120 days (around 2400 merit sent) to the rest of the top ten on the Most generous merit senders (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=topsendat) list, LoyceV, El duderino_, yourself, Ratimov, JayJuanGee, ETFbitcoin, and hugeblack come in higher than them. So, surprisingly to me, despite DdmrDdmr's constant merit sprees, still one of the lower ends in the top 10.

I don't know if that's because they're sending less per merit transaction than others (which at first glance appears so) or if they simply don't have as much merit to spend. I haven't done the math for the latter. Obviously, very likely the quickest to spend that amount of merit compared to the rest.

I don't know if DdmrDdmr is human or not, what I can attest to is that he is the soul that keeps the Spanish section alive. Apart from creating and replying to many threads on a daily basis, he also gives out merits there.

I have looked at his latest posts and I see that 90% or more of what he writes is written there. I don't know if he has an agreement with his campaign to post there or if he was appointed a merit source specifically for the section, but certainly if he spent a month without entering the forum it would be very noticeable in the section.

This evening, I am afraid.
In the meantime, then you @ddmrddmr for the usual haptic fest!


EDIT:

Some statistics.

@ddmrddmr: please note that in the OP I think there is an error on run 19, where you have the same number count for posts and merited users, while my count is different having 250 merits distribuited over 214 transactions.

Although he sends his merit missiles to the pre-determined targets most of time which means he remerits the users with some extra one's but still it's inhuman job to do this at such fast pace.

Yesterday was just checking my profile when i saw some additional merits and 70-80% my gut feeling was undoubtedly our merit machine @DdmrDdmr

Whenever there is new constructive post on the forum he's active to push that merit button and you would find it across most of the boards even local one's so he is exceptional in these merit bombardments to users profile.

@DdmrDdmr sending merits at this pace

This is not a bad idea.
Instead of meriting random posts he tenerti users he eventually marked as “valuable”.
When you get the first merit from @ddmrddmr you know that is only a “mark” and you’ll eventually get a balance of merits later.
He could simple award more merits per post, like many other MS do (myself included), but this is own distinctive fingerprint in meriting habits.

Not at all bad idea and i would say he hardly misses any quality post to merit and when he remerits these posts they all are well deserved and it's his unique style of merit policy.Like usually he would give 1-2 merits at first to quality posts across different sections and then again rain them with some extra one's which is indeed good.

But his speed is somewhat what other's can't match easily and appreciate you for the efforts also in updating the spreadsheet with his merit sprees to the users with timframe letting us know he is super human in merit world.

It's particularly a good idea when you're running low on sMerits or you're close to exxhausting your source. I've done it, instead of chucking posts in a spreadsheet or making a mental note, which takes a lot longer to go through. These days I'm pretty much playing catch up, and as soon as I get my source replenished it's gone on the same day.

I've still got a spreadsheet with one hell of a backlog.

He is super active on the Spanish board and sadly I do not know Spanish. Most of his other post is long and informative which requires a lot of time to write down. After seeing some top-tier members of this forum the only thing that came to my mind is this is not possible for me. I just try to imagine how it is possible to write down that much text in a single day if they are not superhuman.

Don’t worry. If you think you aren’t able to write long and informative text everyday, just don’t even try.

I am sure you will sort out how doing this, if you continue to keep effort on this.

Not all long posts are actually informative and high quality post, many users can write down long post but if you read carefully with the point that they want to express, is just a one liner point to be honest. They're only write it long to make people saw his post is good and put more effort to create, probably they want to his post to be counted on a campaign. He's not a superhuman, but a normal human e.g. you, fillippone, me and everyone else. The real superhuman is btcnfan (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2345460) where he's active in this forum for 23184d 12h 30m [1]

You're correct, considering how he can earn 70 merits on his account, he already proving he can contribute to the forum in other way. I think most users already know there are some users who only create post a one or two liner on most of his posts, but AFAIK they always earn at least 1 merit/ 2 days. Of course not the one who post on spam altcoins lol.

It just depends on you and the quality of the posts you have. If you make quality posts across multiple boards, then there's a chance that DdmrDdmr will get some of those posts out of merit.

So, he hasn't changed with his habits but you are a bit down. Correct me if wrong.

Have gone through your merit history and have found out that he has merited you last on May 2nd and in the last 120 days he has given you 4 merits in total.You have been re-merited on two post with additional one merit from him under his merit spree :

Code:
March 18 - 1 merit 
April 5 - 1 merit on same post

So after 18 days he remerited your post

Aprl 22 - 1 Merit
May 2 - 1 merit on same post

So after 20 days he remerited your post

But as you are saying it's not correct as he usually re-merits the post he have done in the past or we could say recently and some past post along with the new one's and he might be giving again to you so don't worry about it and keep your post quality high.

Have used his dashboard to fetch the merit information many times and there are so many ways we can utilise it but we have to explore it little bit and there is lot of information we can avail through it.Like we could see his merit sprees and the accounts he has given making past comparison could tell us the answers.

Either you became a worse poster than before or DdmrDdmr changed some criteria by which he distributes Merits - I don't think it matters in the end. I have nothing against him focusing more on those who need merits more in order to advance in the ranks.

I don't know if it's because the quality of my posts is getting worse or maybe I don't run into him very often on the forum when posting, so there's a gap between April to July for 1 merit.

A lot of summer joy spread all around the forum!

About what happened on 15th, I  needed explanation till I remember I saw this thread once and skipped it, now I came back to read it.
I logged in my account on 15th and noticed some merit spray in it, as usual I had to check the profile and see why I earned the merit. I was surprised when I was scrolling down, down a down, merits sent on 15th couldn't end. I said "shebi na my eyes dey pain me?"
I wasn't bothered much about how fast and accurate he sent the merits, because all the merits landed on quality posts. I was curious to know how many smerits can a merit source have per month?

I propose a title for DdmrDdmr. I'll call him "The merit sprayer or the joy giver of the forum"

I was curious to know how many smerits can a merit source have per month?

sMerits allocation isn't equal per merit source. Anecdotally I know some merit sources have 1,000 sMerits per month, while others have a wide range of numbers down to 40 sMerits.

Isn't the base sMerit allocation 300 sMerits/month? (at least that's how much I get).

I have been told by other Merit Sources they have lower allocation than that.
Cannot be certain about the worthiness of such information for obvious reasons.

This means that there is a factor that theymos uses to measure the amount of smerits allocatable to a merit source. It could be how effective one is in spreading merits among wider range of members. If that be the case it means the likes of DdmrDdmr and yourself should have the maximum. Though 1000 is a way high to distribute monthly, unless the smerits roll over to the next month.

Merit sources' each point of (merit source) sMerit replenishes at 1 month after it was spent.

I guess it depends on each merit source's habits and activity (meaning topics read) how much merit they can spend; I know merit sources were asking for more, I know cases some were spending much less than the monthly quota (I don't know though if that still happens).

For a generous merit source, they may ask for more merit to spend the following month. But it's true, some merit sources may not be able to spend their monthly quota due to habit or something that hinders them inside or outside the forum. Being a merit source is a free job, so no one can force them to spend all that quota every month though so far I think some sources have been deactivated/expelled for being inactive for a long time. My guess is it still happens.

I understand that each merit source receives an amount set by Theymos. Some may get to send 300 sMerit per month, some get less, and some get more.

My smerits raise and lower with the amount I send. I have been really tied up for an entire year and have dropped my distribution of merits so I am gaining hoarded merits for last year this definitively lowered my merits awarded.

As for ddmrddmr giving away that many merits that quickly you can if you open a lot of pages and then give the merits.

Someone busyness has different levels, both in the forum and outside the forum. If you just speculate maybe he's doing this, maybe he's that way, and will never find the answer. @ddmrddmr has done something for the forum beyond normal human limits, he has engraved it in gold ink.

Don't worry guys, @ddmrddmr is back. He will do it again soon.

The alarm might be stuck, so it might be a little slower than usual. All I can say is, he will definitely come back and will increase his tx number of merit transactions in the shortest possible time. I'm very curious about how many tabs he has open while sending multiple benefits in a short period of time to tens to hundreds of users, and at this point I think he has a special tool but he probably does it manually.

Never beg for merit, it's not justified and I think it will annoy anyone making you more likely to be ignored. Do it naturally where you only need to prove it with the quality of the posts you have. There are many users who want to help, this is not limited to merit source because users of non-merit source can also play an active role in the distribution of merit.

But wait, please don't get me wrong, I don't know exactly what your purpose is, but it looks like you have some hope of getting some out from him. I don't really think it's begging, but maybe some people don't like it.

@DdmrDdmr and @fillippone are two of the unique merit source, they have spent quite a bit of their sMerit every month and I think they are competing for the best. Here's the list:

Not sure if that's the case, but fillippone definitely has the advantage considering the amount of merits they receive compared to DdmrDdmr, and the amount they send. Using the longest available data on the forum (120 days); fillippone has sent 4149 merits, and received 1377, while DdmrDdmr has sent 2640, and received 780. So, DdmrDdmr has their work cut out for them if they want to compete in the long term :D.

I think most of the top merit senders on that list are sending a massive amount, and also receiving a decent amount too, and are relatively active, so I don't think the list will change massively this side of the year. Obviously, the latest figures of 30 days is close, but I tend to favour long term data when its available, as it's generally more accurate. Obviously, not always.

suchmoon is probably the most noteworthy, being ahead by quite some bit, but not sending as much as the others in the last 120 days. Actually, receiving more merit, than sending it, which isn't common for those in the top 10.

No, he's not begging, I caught something positive in @indah rezqi post. He just wants to interact with @fillippone as one of the most generous Merit Sources the forum has ever had, @fillippone also has his own point of view in defining the intent of the content of the post above.
True, begging for merit is not allowed here, I think @indah rezqi also knows about this. Recently he just got a notification from the most generous Merit Sender and he deserves it for the quality of the posts he has.

Luckily we can have these two Merit Source, I also don't exclude other Merit Source, their contribution is very big on the forum, I think only a small number of users are able to contribute more like them.

Honestly, I can only shake my head looking at the list of the most generous Merit senders above, if my name was on the list, it would be very happy for me.  :D
On the other hand, I also have the intention to be able to play an active role in the distribution of merit. Although the number of sMerit that I distribute is still far less than other users, I am very happy to be able to do so.

Of course the bulk of my outgoing merits are the Merit Source allowance, but I reckon my personal stash of sMerits is not negligible.
To me, the important thing is that every Merit Source take part in merit distribution, with any criteria, and pace, of their choice.

So, DdmrDdmr has their work cut out for them if they want to compete in the long term :D.
Generally @DdmrDdmr sent out 1-2 merits in each TX on the forum while @fillippone has habit of giving out 3 per TX and if you see in recent thread about some private keys you might be aware of he has sent out 50 merits also in one TX to the members so you see there was lot of merit distribution from his side in past 120 days and have earned also quite well with his threads and posts.

While @DdmrDdmr has also sent out merits in past 120 days and we might see another merit spree from his side and you would see additional 200-250 merits being sent out in that spree taking his total high again and be on the generous merit source list.

suchmoon is probably the most noteworthy, being ahead by quite some bit, but not sending as much as the others in the last 120 days. Actually, receiving more merit, than sending it, which isn't common for those in the top 10.
Although he is the number one merit sender on the forum with 41074 smerits in forum duration while if we see about the past 120 days then he has earned 399 merits and sent out total of 228 and he also has the habit of sending most of 1-2 smerits in each Tx but that's fine as his wish and all have different ways of sending out merits.

And if we speak about merit speed what this thread is about then there's nobody near the flash @DdmrDdmr in that case.

I think anyone who knows these two merit sources well and also interacts with them quite often on the forum, then they know about the statistics of both. @DdmrDdmr is losing out on merit earnings compared to @fillippone, while he's having fun sending more tx's on 1829 profiles so far. @fillippone varies a bit and I see it more often than not having a higher nMerit/tx than @DdmrDdmr. Honestly I wouldn't compare the two too much, but for sure we have a record of their stats. They both still lost from @suchmoon and @LoyceV in all-time stats, but they have been in close competition in the last 30 days even though currently @fillippone is still in the lead.

This is not for nothing, just take it as part of how we proudly honor for you as good contributors to this forum doing free work for this forum system. @fillippone, you know we can't compare you to other merit sources all the time in this thread, but the thought is there and will probably be tucked away in some of our posts this time.

Anyway I'm still waiting for @DdmrDdmr's robotic hand to move again this month. Maybe I can hope he does on August 15th, like the last time on July 15th. But who knows, he could trigger his adrenaline anytime he wants.  :D

Thanks for explaining it to me, hope I can understand what you are saying well. But really, I'm not begging anyone especially about merit and so far I haven't. I agree with what @Razmirraz said, at this point I would really like to interact with a lot of forum contributors because then I can really understand how this system works. Some people might think of it as licking, but I don't think so because actually I never thought it was good for getting merit.

I can only get it through post quality, that's what every merit source has been hoping for all along. If I can convince them with that, then I might have a good chance of getting a merit there. But I think we're off topic now, I hope nothing continues because at first I only focused on @DdmrDdmr and his merit distribution pattern.

I've been slacking in the past months as a Merit source. My source used to be close to zero, now it's usually around 100-200. I don't have the time to read more posts, and already drop 4-6 or more Merit per post most of the time.
So by all means, if you find good posts (that I can read): post them in Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5093271.0). I'd love to hold the 30 days record for a month. I must be of the biggest Merits hoarders by now, with over 2000 sMerits.

I could of course do what DdmrDdmr does, and dump them all on posts that I've Merited already, but that's a bit extreme :P

Looks like my guess was right, @DdmrDdmr did it today. He seemed to want to appear consistent about his timing in the last two months. I'm not counting how many smerits he spent in 2 minutes 34 seconds, maybe @fillippon will release the numbers soon. I got 2 of them in one tx, Lol.

Maybe I can hope he does on August 15th, like the last time on July 15th.

I got 12, for the merits received in our local section in the last month. I guess everybody is happy about these remerit sprees, in my case a little bit more because it brings me closer to the next rank, Hero member.

What started out as a routine way to empty his smerits allocation, has become an expected event and a celebration for a few of us.

Merit Spree #25 by @ddmrddrmr
Official @ddmrddmr thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105622.msg49567272#msg49567272)

Official Description:

Version 25 - 11/09/2022 (1279 posts merited (by me) in just over 21 minutes) -> 1279 sMerits
Merited all posts that:
- I have not merited before.
- Have received merits from at least five different people since april 2022.
The goal is to merit post I have either ignored or not come across in boards I do not visit, and that others seem to deem merit worthy, allowing me to unload a bunch of sMerits in the process.


My review:

Yesterday, when my smartband started whirring I knew something big was going on, but not to big: this is by far the biggest merit spree so far.

https://i.ibb.co/R2z4vq2/60924037.png

Record number on every metric I was monitoring so far.
For this, I added another one: most merited users in this round.

Here’s the TOP20:

Code:
1.  o_e_l_e_o               37
2.  El duderino_            33
3.  BlackHatCoiner          23
4.  n0nce                   20
5.  cAPSLOCK                18
6.  LoyceV                  15
7.  dkbit98                 15
8.  LFC_Bitcoin             14
9.  icopress                14
10.  Hhampuz                14
11.  witcher_sense          13
12.  Pmalek                 12
13.  NotATether             12
14.  fillippone             12
15.  NeuroticFish           10
16.  krogothmanhattan       10
17.  garlonicon             10
18.  CryptopreneurBrainboss 10
19.  xhomerx10              9
20.  TryNinja               9

Merit spree detected!
My merit wrist band started buzzing, and a merit induced smile appeared on my face, puzzling my fellow humans that were with me in this particular moment.

Same here, same here. Just I've been at a concert, hence I didn't reply yesterday here.

but when I realized that it was earn not on my most recent post

Very good point.
Somehow I have a feeling that Ddmrddmr has done (intentionally or not) something different this time, with newer posts merited by him not getting re-merited at this merit spree, and older posts (even from April or May!) being re-merited.

According to the official description I posted above the rationale of this spree was indeed meriting posts he never did in the past. I think it’s a novelty, as as far as I can remember (didn’t check) he always remerited posts.

Is DdmrDdmr even human?
He is a hybrid at least. Some sort of genetically engineered intelligent alien life form with extraordinary meriting abilities. Not an ASIC but an MSIC. A Merit-Specific Integrated Circuit. Show me proof that I am wrong if you can.

Umm, you're wrong ;D :D
An ASIC is built to make one operation. Since DdmrDdmr is more than capable to also post actually human-like logic and information (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5412809.msg60910437#msg60910437), I would say that ASIC/MSIC is a huge understatement. Overly evolved AI? Maybe. But not a simple ASIC/MSIC.

Don't forget the hybrid part of my post. He can switch off his meriting machine anytime and go to a human state where he shows logic, humor, happiness, anger, understanding, and everything else our fine breed is capable of expressing. DdmrDdmr you are not fooling anyone. I see you! :D

Merit spree detected!

Did he?

I think that the algorithm has failed. Or even worse, that he is being stingy with me, as I haven't been remerited.

Do you know if he does partial merit sprees and only remerits you when you have a number of merits to get greater than x?

DdmrDdmr explains it all (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105622.0):
Version 25 - 11/09/2022 (1279 posts merited (by me) in just over 21 minutes) -> 1279 sMerits
Merited all posts that:
- I have not merited before.
- Have received merits from at least five different people since april 2022.
The goal is to merit post I have either ignored or not come across in boards I do not visit, and that others seem to deem merit worthy, allowing me to unload a bunch of sMerits in the process.

That's mainly because of posts on our local board, where he does a great job. He is constantly opening new threads, responding to threads opened by others and giving merit to the constructive posts of those of us who post there. As I think I said, I think we owe a lot of the traffic on the Spanish board to him.

And I don't really care, I was joking. Once I've reached Hero member, I hope to continue gaining some merits little by little and at some point reach Legendary but I'm quite satisfied already.

Seniors who are legendary all have posts on all boards which are very helpful posts. Here you can see legends have more informative posts in their posts than smaller ones. And senior brothers are also responding to the posts of those who are posting. I hope to become a legend after I reach the hero stage here, and with the help of the senior brothers, I think my hope will come true.

He is checking these lines and having an eye on all the posts across the forum and maybe this month round start soon from his side delivering merit sprees with lightning speed to the users again with his usual routine and now whenever I see there are some merits spread across the forum it immediately came to my mind it's our mutual friend @DdmrDdmr and it's right.

I had the feeling that I had received more merits this time and I see that this is the case, being the ones who have received the most, active members of the Spanish section, which, on the other hand, is normal for the time that DdmrDdmr spends there.

Congratulations to those who have been re-merited.

Looking at the timing, @ddmrddmr said that it took him "just over 3 minutes", while in my computations it was "just under 3 minutes".

Most likely, the discrepancy has to do with the time ddmrddmr spends running his script that does not involve the actual sending of merit. For example, querying his DB to find the posts he wants to merit, logging into the forum, and accessing the first page to merit the first post in his spree.

Yeah probably this is a reasonable explanation.
Actually 3 seconds for all these operations look a lot to me, but I really I have no clue about how long does all these operations take.

Logging into the forum and accessing the first page to send merit should take 1 second each. The reason for this is that it is good practice to limit the rate you access pages via automation to one per second, which is a rate that Theymos has previously requested that members limit their scripts to.

Querying his db will take some non-zero amount of time.

Does anyone know if merit sources' smerits expired yesterday? Yesterday, apart from DdmrDdmr, paxmao gave me a few merits as well. I know he is also a merit source and that's why I was wondering, although being day 18 I find it strange, I guess it's a coincidence. In any case, 21 merits in one day is not bad.

I know he is also a merit source and that's why I was wondering, although being day 18 I find it strange, I guess it's a coincidence. In any case, 21 merits in one day is not bad.

The essence of the matter is that source smerits expire exactly 30 days after they are awarded if they are not used, so how frequently the source smerits come in for any merit source relates to his/her spending behavior, so if s/he spends in large chunks, then the smerits will come in in large chunks.... To me, it seems that it would be a bit easier to try to build a reasonable inference that merit source smerits are coming in rather than to try to figure out the more complicated case about whether such merit source had not been spending smerits fast enough in order that they are coming due to expire.

If you believe someone is a merit source, and if you are stalking such merit source (I am not recommending this), then you might be able to figure out how many smerits that s/he has coming available for spending at any given time just by looking at 30 days worth of merit spending history.  Another thing is that source merits get spent prior to regular merits, so it is a bit more difficult to know whether any specific smerit that had been spent had come from the source smerits or from the regular bank (and of course, regular bank smerits are not renewed but instead awarded 1/2 based on received smerits).

There are likely some additional tools (such as tryninja's merit tab) that are out there too for trying to verify source merits that might be available, but of course, you can also get some pretty good senses of how many source merits are coming available to merit source members just by looking at when their spent merits are 30 days old.

By the way, Paxmao's merit spending is not very high, so I have doubts about whether he is even a merit source..  He may well have just been spending from his smerit bank.  https://ninjastic.space/user/paxmao

Not at all. I'm fine with merits now. I have already made it to Hero and in time, I will slowly make it to Legendary, but the merits worried me a lot more when I had to climb from lower ranks than they do now.

I'm speaking from memory but I think years ago he applied for merit source from the local Spanish section, and it sounds to me like he was appointed. Looking online, I see that in June 2018 he was listed as the 29th most generous user and the last update was 27th (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4523027.540). Maybe if he didn't spend a lot of merits, they reduced his allocation but he does seem to be a merit source.

Ok.  I see what you are saying.  I think that I misread that tryninja link that I had posted in response to your post, because on a superficial level it had appeared to me that Paxmao tends to send his merits in short bursts rather than spreading them out - which tends to be closer to what I attempt to do (compare mine here) (https://ninjastic.space/user/id/252510?merits), and yes from that "most generous" thread that you mentioned, since near the beginning of the merit system, Coin-1 (OP) has been attempting to identify who he believes to be merit source members based on the quantity of smerits that members were sending out and also if there might be other information in which some members claim (or admit) to be a merit source (or if there is information that they are NO longer a merit source).. so you are right about both Paxmao's recent quantity of smerits sent per month and his overall quantity of smerit sent causing him to be around 29th-ish on the overall list, which is the first post of the thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4523027.msg40734583#msg40734583), that shows Paxmao to be suspected as a merit source.. of course, he is 29th on that list and his name is bolded.. so the inferences of his being a merit source is pretty strong, if that were the ONLY information to go by... but sure, there may be other sources of information as to when he became a merit source, as you mentioned.

The essence of the matter is that source smerits expire exactly 30 days after they are awarded if they are not used
I wouldn't say source sMerits expire. If I don't use them, they just stay in my account. But if I do use them, they're replenished exactly 30 days later. So you have 100 source sMerits to spend, and you spend them in the first day, you can do this (slightly over) 12 times per year (>1200 sMerits per year). If you spend 1 per day, you can do this forever, but you'll only spend 365 sMerits per year. My ideal spending (which I don't always reach) is spending them evenly throughout the month, keeping my source close to zero but with daily replenishments.

I don't disagree with anything that you are saying, except for the part of the source merit does actually "expire", "decay," "cease to exist" "kilt" or whatever other descriptor you would like to employ, if you do not use it in 30 days..

Yours are not "expiring" because you are using them prior to their "expiration" date. 

Try it out.   I dare you.

I double dare you.


 Try to NOT use your source merits in the next 30 days and see what happens to them?



I conjecture that they go "poof".. so even if you don't want to label such a happening as "expiring"  it seems pretty close to the same phenomena.

A rose by any other name and all of that.

Good luck.

I haven't completely emptied my source sMerits for a while now, and they haven't expired :)

I expect it to be filled to 800 sMerits (or was it 850?).

I think that if he doesn't use the merit source sMerit, it simply doesn't get replenished (i.e. remain with the max he can have), and that's all.
Does sMerit decay was actually implemented at all? Since I think it wasn't...

Try it out.   I dare you.

I double dare you.

LOL!
If this never happens, then the (sad!) conclusion would be that there are no real holidays in LoyceV's life, or at least not long enough.

There are no holidays in the life of a merit source.
Everyday spending merits (certainly), everyday getting merits (hopefully).
At least, judging from the "Received Merit Streaks" from ddmrddmr Merit Dashboard, this has been my life during the last few years.

I double dare you.
I haven't completely emptied my source sMerits for a while now, and they haven't expired :)

I guess my point was that my revised point is that the ability of the smerits to timely replenish expires after 30 days.. but what I really meant is that they fail to renew (replenish as NeuroticFish clarified)... .. So I might have gotten caught in my own dramatic attempt at effect when I said poof.. .. I might have to take that back.. hate to do it.. but admittedly it is seeming a bit inaccurate and misleading about what is happening... .. because surely there is a difference between failing to renew and completely disappearing.. so in that sense you may or may not have had a failure to replenish unless you fail to spend for more than 30 days, because my understanding is that when you do spend from your source merits, the oldest ones will get spent first.

Try to NOT use your source merits in the next 30 days and see what happens to them?
I expect it to be filled to 800 sMerits (or was it 850?).

You got a point there.

I conjecture that they go "poof".. so even if you don't want to label such a happening as "expiring"  it seems pretty close to the same phenomena.
I only expect that if theymos manually changes it, and I don't think I'd be removed as a Merit source after just one month of inactivity.

For sure, I did not want to suggest that you would be removed as a merit source based on long periods of inactivity.. but I was convoluting failing to replenish with decaying merits.. which I am not sure if decaying merits is actually anything that has been done - except if theymos ended up doing that manually... so you are likely right that they would just max out and then at some point if the issue persists in which you are not spending your source merits, theymos might determine to remove you as a merit source or to reduce your smerit allowance.  Up to his discretion, of course.

Your results may vary.
try this at your own risk.
don't come crying to me, when your eye gets poked out.
Lol :D

I felt that I had to let you know that this matter happens to be serious and with potentially serious consequences.

I don't disagree with anything that you are saying, except for the part of the source merit does actually "expire", "decay," "cease to exist" "kilt" or whatever other descriptor you would like to employ, if you do not use it in 30 days..

Yours are not "expiring" because you are using them prior to their "expiration" date.  
I think that if he doesn't use the merit source sMerit, it simply doesn't get replenished (i.e. remain with the max he can have), and that's all.
Does sMerit decay was actually implemented at all? Since I think it wasn't...

Ok. This is probably how I should have said it.. I admit.  I got carried away, and  I ended up suggesting that decay happens rather than mere failure to replenish.

Try it out.   I dare you.

I double dare you.
LOL!

That brings up a good question.  Is it possible that bots actually are able to get vacations?  

Don't feel alone, LoyceV.

Technically, I heard that rebooting and reloading is a thing.. maybe even troubleshooting the Algos happens from time to time..

I suppose you can call such "down time" whatever you like. 

It's a free country the last time I checked. 

By the way, I did not ask very many people (nor bots) regarding exact definitions of "free" or what is supposed to be "country."  We surely do live in "interesting times," if we can try to keep up.... Does anyone have time for vacation anymore?

The question is not that good, sorry. In the same way they sleep while we're blinking, you will most probably won't notice a bot's vacation. They may have more vacations than humans and still be perceived as working 24/7.

Remerited all my merited posts since my last spree (+ some backlogged pending ones), for non-banned users (from today backwards).

My review:

My meritband started whirring while in the wild, I noticed I was the second user to be merited in this spree, so I saw it just from the beginning in almost real time.

https://i.ibb.co/wZHv7M7/61434253.png

It was a small, but efficient one: both TX/Second and Merits seconds were record this time!

Not sure why it was faster, as I didn’t really change anything. There are a couple of possible options that could have made the process speedier on this occasion:

- There were less merited posts than on prior occasions. Normally, the process is faster on the first bunch of posts I remerit, before Cloudflare kicks-in to complain that I'm going too fast, leading the process to perform some retries. Having less posts to remerit should therefore likely show with a better TX/s ratio.

- VPN connection will differ from one session to another. I may have caught a faster track on the last spree.

Deferring the spree a day may have broke the TX/s record in the opposite direction, as per the problems described here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5427837.msg61427230#msg61427230).

Note: Minor correction: last spree was on the tenth really.

Not sure it's an actual spree, but it seems like some Xmas spirit has taken over our beloved AI.

PS: Merry Christmas to all of you guys!

Oh!Oh!Oh!

It's Christmas time, and apparently, a gargantuan merit spree has been sprinkled above us by our festive mutual friend favourite AI!

Merry Christmas to you, fellow DdmrDdmr observers!

I don't own anything, he got nothing from my post today. LOL

But I'm glad DdmrDdmr still has this habit. His fingers were quick and sure these were some worthy gifts during celebrations. As a special user and as a generous merit source, his generosity is often something special.

1 Merit per post (posts may be remerited again, but not the remerits themselves).
Goal: Distribute some minor Xmas gifts ...

My review:

For the second year, we have a special, massive Xmas edition of @ddmrddmr sprees. And also, this year is a gigantic one!

This spree was quite big compared to the last ones, but still, it's the third position since I have been monitoring the sprees!
Definitely, it will make Christmas happier somewhere!

I'd say it's the biggest in the last 8 months or so, I've been scrolling down the merits sent by him yesterday and it didn't seem to end. My posts have been merited for the third time. I don't know if it's to do with Christmas, or that he had spare merits he wanted to spend, in any case thanks and Merry Christmas to DdmrDdmr and all the merit recipients.

At least there is a little connection with Christmas, he wants to share his happiness with loved ones here. Not everyone can be touched by the Merit party, I think you are one of the lucky ones from DdmrDdmr little party.
At least the remaining merit spend DdmrDdmr has made those who contribute to the forum smile ahead of Christmas and New Years. I wish him Always given health so he can continue to dedicate some of his time to the forum.

I was wondering, just yesterday: "How comes ddmrddmr still hasn't distributed a merit spree?
So iNoticed that last year after the Xmas Merit spreee, he had an holiday until the 2nd of February.
So I thought: "well, he's on holiday right now, he will be back soon!"

Apparently I was right, and even so atelier than I anticipated!

I got recently merited by @DdmrDdmr.
So out of curiosity I clicked on his profile and saw his sent merit summary (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=1582324)...I scrolled down a little bit and I saw this:

Dear lord is this in the realm of human capabilities?

https://i.postimg.cc/Z5gfWwdk/F8626-D1-A-6-B36-42-E7-AF1-C-3-DEB00-FA905-D.png

I couldn’t even fit all the merits on a single page of my iPad.

So that I quickly escalated to his own tool:

DdmrDdmr sent merits on Feb 3rd (https://public.tableau.com/shared/Z8BQFWPKC?:display_count=yes)

https://i.postimg.cc/d0NTsfkd/89-A72-E75-4-AF2-4368-8-AE2-34-D6149-A3-DD5.jpg

That’s 257 sent merits from February 03, 2019, 02:28:01 PM to February 03, 2019, 04:47:30 PM.
257 sMerits in 140 minutes.
Almost a transaction every 30 seconds (I am not even capable of accurately compute)
Almost every merits on a different thread from the preceding one.
How can a human being have such an activity focus?
He was on drugs?
He’s a mutant/new human breed?
Does he ready the matrix?
I am scared!

it become very easy when we use our mouse's middle button to open tab in different windows, and by opening too many tabs, it's easy for me to do that kind of things.
clicking one button like "merit" in one tab and moving to other tab to press "merit" button, while the previous tab  fully being loaded.
this is not a superhuman kind of thing, this is just technical knowledge like satoshi had to totally disappear from internet. :o (i don't know how he has done but this is mine idea because i am not a programmer)

and see his December month merits sent list, you will get brainattack.

I hardly believe @ddmrddmr meriting spree involves many tabs being open at the same time.
I am pretty sure there are more advanced techniques than that, and from versions hints I get the idea he’s using those.

I didn't expect @DdmrDdmr to take advantage of AI to do it. Lol
Although I agree that he probably has dozens of tabs open in his browser and individually adjusts the number of merit to be send before he starts getting those posts. But the unique thing is, we never know how he did it for sure because so far @DdmrDdmr hasn't told him.

If you know the latest technique, can you whispered me the confidential for little?  :D

I have seen his works, and with what I have seen I don't think you can place any technique to how DdmrDdmr does the wonder he performs. I think he is just superhuman to be splashing all these thousands of merits in just few minutes and the strange part is that all merited post by DdmrDdmr actually worth the merits assigned to it. Before now I actually thought he merited account on a random because its just beyond imagination on how he actually disburse his merits.

No he is not that type of person, he has completed his beautiful work long before AI existed. Everything he does has left big questions in our heads, how did he do all that in such a short amount of time, what technique did he use. People like him are not many in the forum, having people like him is a pride for us. Whatever he does always leaves a beautiful impression.

MERIT SPREE DETECTED!
@ddmrddmr I am seeing it unfolding in real time, it's unreal!



Merit Spree #33 by @ddmrddrmr
Official @ddmrddmr thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105622.msg49567272#msg49567272)

Official Description:

Version 33 - 17/04/2023  (57 posts merited (by me) in just under 1 minute) -> 116 sMerits
Remerited all my merited posts since my last spree (+ some backlogged pending ones), for non-banned users (from today backwards).

My review:

Also this time, I got only a single post merited, and also this time I was able to see the spree in real time. Impressive!


https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/15/blob9cdc74091dafff86.png

This spree was definitely the smallest on the records, but it distributed the highest amount of merit per post. 3 merits per post I think it's a new for @ddmrddmr

Looking at the most merited users in this round.

Here’s the TOP10:

Code:
1.   Hispo              14	
2.   famososMuertos     12

Quite a short chart, I must say.
Only 14 Merits to top the chart! 22 needed in Merit Spree 32.
I guess this is the lowest amount ever!

That's because since what happened with CM he decided to take a break and he is not nearly as active as before. He hasn't even applied for signature campaigns.

So he writes less, spends less time on the forum and merits less. The activity of the local Spanish forum has been considerably reduced because he acts as a positive enhancer. We are anxious for him to return to the same activity as before, whether he participates in a campaign or not.

When you guys talked about him taking a break I assumed you meant he was going to wait for some time before applying to a new campaign, I did not assume he was going to spend less time here.  :(

Anyways, I agree with you, I hope to continue see him around our Spanish section, his contributions are an important percentage of our local activity, not even mention the quality of his statistics and how easily can find sources.

I am writing my monthly analysis of the Italian board, and looking around the various local boards, I noticed the Spanish board contracted a little bit. So you are confirming me the reason is @ddmrddmr being a little bit less active.
Such a pity, I think he's one of those user providing real value to the community.

Official @ddmrddmr thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105622.msg49567272#msg49567272)

Official Description:

Version 34 - 17/04/2023 (786 posts merited (by me) in just under 13 minutes) -> 786 sMerits
Merited all posts that:
- I have not merited before.
- Have received merits from at least five different people since september 2022.
The goal is to merit post I have either ignored or not come across in boards I do not visit, and that others seem to deem merit worthy, allowing me to unload a bunch of sMerits in the process.

My review:

Quite an unexpected one! Funny thing, I was discussing with other Spanish users about @ddmrddmr being less involved in the forum life!
lol!
Nice way of being proven wrong!

I can't read Spanish, so I'm not following that board, but are you saying people post less because there's less Merit to be earned there?

Being the 800th is being in the top 20%? ???  Well, I am the 127th and I am sure he was much more active than me before so I don't see the glass half full as you.

So he writes less, spends less time on the forum and merits less. The activity of the local Spanish forum has been considerably reduced because he acts as a positive enhancer.
I can't read Spanish, so I'm not following that board, but are you saying people post less because there's less Merit to be earned there?

Well, I've talked about three points so I don't know why you have picked just one. For me the fundamental factor is that he now writes less, much less. The others of us write more or less the same, and I think I write even a bit more.

Before he was constantly opening new threads, writing the first reply to threads newly created, updating old threads and so on.

<...> I hope to continue see him around our Spanish section, his contributions are an important percentage of our local activity, not even mention the quality of his statistics and how easily can find sources.

On the other hand, the deepl.com translator is very reliable.

Look what DdmrDdmr is doing on April-17-2023 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=1582324), he literally spends his whole day splurging on sMerit on different profiles. What he did was beyond common sense, once again he proved his generosity by doing things that were difficult for other people to do.
Hard to apply who DdmrDdmr really is, he works like a tireless system. I also just got an additional four merits from him, this is very valuable to me.

I don't know if it is going to be the new normal, but yet another double spree today. My merit band went bonkers!

I am going to post as a separate rounds.

Merit Spree #35 by @ddmrddrmr

Remerited all my merited posts since my last spree (+ some backlogged pending ones), for non-banned users (from today backwards).


My review:

It was unexpected! Usual cycles have been quite off recently, so I knew it was coming, but any moment was good. So when I saw the first merit on the band I thought" Brace! Brace! Brace!".
Only later, when I was sitting in my cave, I realized it was a double spree.

https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/27/51ae4eda90f6f03d7099d4ad0a052ff7.png

This spree was a "triple" one, and distributed merits in a comparable way to the 33 spree: I see a tick-tock pattern?

@ddmrddmr, part 2.
After the tick spree, an articulated, multiple merit distribution, here comes the tock spree: gargantuan merit distribution until self exhaustion.

Merit Spree #36 by @ddmrddrmr
Official @ddmrddmr thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105622.msg49567272#msg49567272)

Official Description:

Version 36 - 27/05/2023 (1221 posts merited (by me) in just under 21 minutes) -> 1221 sMerits
Merited all posts that:
- I have not merited before.
- Have received merits from at least five different people since january 2023.
The goal is to merit post I have either ignored or not come across in boards I do not visit, and that others seem to deem merit worthy, allowing me to unload a bunch of sMerits in the process.
- I have skipped some for now (28 - not enough Merits left).

My review:

It was big. The second biggest spree since I have started taking track of everything.
A simple vulgar display of power in merit distribution.
This is why we love our quasi-human or quasi-machine forum entity.
I was allowed to take a picture of him sending merits in the forum:


https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/27/2ba403467f22f2b11f29dd8aec0ac676.png


You can see how it was big in the spreadsheet:

https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/27/def2f1d65adf6facbb923c34ebfadc89.png
Can we also forecast the date: 8th of July. (of course now @ddmrddmr will read this and this is going to impact the answer... what if I set as dimension 1 so that it is written, but probably no one will ever notice? )


This spree was a "single" one, and distributed merits in a comparable way to the spree 34. I was earlier referring as a tick-tock pattern. Let's see it is going to be confirmed on the next rounds.

Looking at the most merited users in this round.

The TOP10 is a pretty big list: 24 Merits to top the chart, but also 11 to enter the TOP10. Impressive.
41 merits are the highest on record (merit spree 30!)


Big review today, I hope you found it interesting.

Or maybe I am miasing something and you are calclualting it differently (maybe as 2 different merit sprees because I see there is few minutes differnece between getting 1x3 and 2x1 merit).

Exactely.
You did receive 5 merits in total, divided over two different merit sprees.

  • 3x1 in merit spree 35 (the earliest one
  • 1x2 in merit spree 36 (the secondo one distributing 1 merit per post)

I hadn't listed you in the second post as you got 2 merits only, while the top10 merited users received 8 merits each.

As one of the recipients of DdmrDdmr's generous supply of merits, I must also say it's quite astonishing how fast he does it. Another interesting thing's the pattern he follows; if he gives a certain amount this month, at least before the year runs out, he would visit that account three or four times! This sorta things ought to be taken into account by Guinness book of records! Heh ;D

Post by: Don Pedro Dinero on May 28, 2023, 03:41:01 AM
I can see that the first spree is of posts that he had merited, while the second is of posts that he had not merited and that meet other characteristics. Since most of the people merited in the first spree are from the Spanish local board, I can see that the little time he spends on the forum he spents mostly on the local board, which is to be welcomed, although I think that if it occurs to him to return to his previous level of activity at some point, we'll have a party over there.

Incidentally, we organised a predictive contest there to celebrate the anniversary of the creation of the local board, and he just happened to win the prize. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5450896.msg62267894#msg62267894)

Whenever you see someone who's good at what he does just acknowledge that someone, how on earth can someone do such a thing? Merit about 100+ users in the space of 20-30 mins (I think that time frame is too short). I can't really say if he sleeps,  eat or even have time for himself, what planet did you fall out from😅? This guy DdmrDdmr is like the eyes in this Forum he's everywhere at ones. I think you should be called Eagle Eye Of Bitcointalk

Remerited all my merited posts since my last spree (+ some backlogged pending ones), for non-banned users (from today backwards).


My review:

A very small and fast one.
It was by far the smallest on record but also the quickest.
A ninja-style work is crushing the tx/second record.
Probably he's testing how long he can break the one tx/second barrier on the forum without angering @theymos.
As a consequence of bein a 3x merit spree, it also broke the record for metis/second.


The cyborg bot is at it again.

The TOP10 is actually a Top5, as there were a few members in this round, each of them with a small number of merits.

41 merits are the highest on record (merit spree 30!)

Just noticed after your post how the merit spree is growing within milliseconds span and the @DdmrDdmr merit sending machine has again been fueled so waiting for the actual spreadsheet stats to see how many of them were sent during this time at unbeatable speed again.

Some happy moments for users when they are going to get notifications on their smartphones or watches when they have merits and some of them will know who's busy on the work now  ;D with smile on the face.

Merit Spree #38 by @ddmrddrmr
Official @ddmrddmr thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105622.msg49567272#msg49567272)

Official Description:

Version 38 - 30/06/2023 (305 posts merited (by me) in just under 5 minutes) -> 305 sMerits
Merited all posts that:
- I have not merited before.
- Have received merits from at least five different people since january 2023.
- Are not in Services not WO.
The goal is to merit post I have either ignored or not come across in boards I do not visit, and that others seem to deem merit worthy, allowing me to unload a bunch of sMerits in the process.


My review:

A simple merit spree.
Efficient.
I guess it was used to deplete his merit stash before the end of the month.

In the spreadsheet, you see it is a pretty routine job for our quasi-machine friend:

I thought DdmrDdmr repeated the same action again. Approx three hours ago, I got a notification from my telegram bot, and it seems I got another four more merits. I just logged in and figured out that no merits were credited. Now I am curious if it was a glitch from TryNinja's telegram bot. Is this happened only to me, or has someone else noticed the same thing?

I thought it was another real spree, as he has done something similar. I am kinda upset now  :P

I was really scared when this morning I got a bunch of notifications from @tryninja bot about other merits from @ddmrddmr.
Luckily, it was sone kind of delay in the bot and not another spree!

Okay. Thanks for confirming. But the bot increased the merit count as well. That's why I thought it was not a delay, and it might be a double spree. Now I am confused why you were scared. He did this before, and as far as I know, everyone likes it, including you. I was happy when I saw a double spree instead of being scared!

@Learn Bitcoin I also noticed the notification and this is my first time of seen it. And I was wondering about it. The same thing that happened to you happened to me. And for @ddmrddmr way of meritting users is also good. He can merit plenty users at a time. That is his own way of doing and I don't think anyone can imitate him. All merit sources have their ways of giving merits. And for ddmrddmr he touches almost all the accounts/users whenever he is out to merit users.

This is not true. Each merit spree might have different criteria. You won't receive any merits if your post doesn't meet his criteria. So, It's not possible that he may send merits to all users. After each merit spree, he constantly updates his thread and adds what were the criteria for the current version of the merit spree. Here is the last three versions and the criteria ;

Version 38 - 30/06/2023 (305 posts merited (by me) in just under 5 minutes) -> 305 sMerits
Merited all posts that:
- I have not merited before.
- Have received merits from at least five different people since january 2023.
- Are not in Services not WO.
The goal is to merit post I have either ignored or not come across in boards I do not visit, and that others seem to deem merit worthy, allowing me to unload a bunch of sMerits in the process.

Version 37 - 30/06/2023  (20 posts merited (by me) in just under 1 minute) -> 42 sMerits
Remerited all my merited posts since my last spree (+ some backlogged pending ones), for non-banned users (from today backwards).

Version 36 - 27/05/2023 (1221 posts merited (by me) in just under 21 minutes) -> 1221 sMerits
Merited all posts that:
- I have not merited before.
- Have received merits from at least five different people since january 2023.
The goal is to merit post I have either ignored or not come across in boards I do not visit, and that others seem to deem merit worthy, allowing me to unload a bunch of sMerits in the process.
- I have skipped some for now (28 - not enough Merits left).

The latest version of merit spree criteria was similar to version thirty-six. The only difference was he ignored service and WO posts this time. If you received merits from at least five different people since January 2023 and the posts are not in service/WO and DdmrDdmr did not merited, you are the qualified one.

@Learn Bitcoin I used the word almost and that means, it is not all, and it is only a percentage that is merited. And not all. And from his merit spree, he merits a lot of users. 305 Merits were used to merit users and that number is not a small number across the mentioned boards.

Merit Spree #39 by @ddmrddrmr
Official @ddmrddmr thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105622.msg49567272#msg49567272)

Official Description:


Version 39 - 27/08/2023  (88 posts merited (by me) in just under 2 minutes) -> 177 sMerits
Remerited all my merited posts since my last spree (+ some backlogged pending ones), for non-banned users (up until last friday).

My review:

The usual ddmrddmr spree.
Simple, efficient, and efficient.


https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/08/27/M7X0Z.png


In the spreadsheet, you see it is a routine job for our quasi-human friend:

https://talkimg.com/images/2023/08/27/MBLqf.png

It was very similar to Merit Spree 35. Not a colossal spree, very quick, not ultra-fast.

Here's the TOP10:

Code:
1.  famososMuertos    14
2.  Hispo             12
3.  d5000             12
4.  seoincorporation  10
5.  Porfirii          10
6.  Rikafip           6
6.  Csmiami           6
8.  fillippone        5
9.  Silberman         4
9.  Shawshank         4
9.  JayJuanGee        4
9.  Hamza2424         4
9.  darxiaomi         4
9.  Charles-Tim       4
9.  BlackHatCoiner    4

The TOP10 is a pretty big list: 14 Merits to top the chart, and only 4 to enter the TOP10. It was just a small spree, after all.
41 merits are the highest on record (merit spree 30!)

So, this makes me notice the notification came in two rounds, and only the first two were of the first round: more to come....

Merit spree detected.

I will update you later with a full analysis.


https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/08/27/M7ik9.png

The more interesting thing, all merit transaction has an exact one-second timeframe difference.

When I checked the posts he merited they came from different local boards at different time frames some of them were even months old, I am like how is it even possible for a human? ::)

Unlucky me didn't get into his sight this time.

So, today, there were two merit sprees.


Merit Spree #40 by @ddmrddrmr
Official @ddmrddmr thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105622.msg49567272#msg49567272)

Official Description:

Version 40 - 27/8/2023 (262 posts merited (by me) in just over 4 minutes) -> 262 sMerits
Merited all posts that:
- I have not merited before.
- Have received merits from at least five different people since july 2023.
- Are not in Services nor in WO.
The goal is to merit post I have either ignored or not come across in boards I do not visit, and that others seem to deem merit worthy, allowing me to unload a bunch of sMerits in the process.

My review:

Quite an unusual spree by ddmrddmr, but with this spree, he definitely raised the bar on the conditions to enter the spree: posts that five different users merited, but not hi; very nice! I like that! Even if, I must say, a post that has been merited by five people already might not need merits from our Spanish AI.

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/08/28/MBB9N.png

In the spreadsheet, you see it is a routine job for our quasi-human friend:

https://talkimg.com/images/2023/08/27/MB4b3.png

It was very similar to Merit Spree 38. A big, single merit spree. Again, the novelty is in selecting the post to merit, not the meriting action itself.

Here's the TOP10:

Code:
1.  hosseinimr93           6
2.  Ratimov                5
3.  ranochigo              5
4.  PowerGlove             5
5.  Turbartuluk            4
5.  o_e_l_e_o              4
5.  Mahdirakib             4
5.  light_warrior          4
8.  SmartGold01            3
8.  skarais                3
8.  pooya87                3
8.  LoyceV                 3
8.  jokers10               3
8.  icopress               3
8.  gmaxwell               3
8.  EFS                    3
8.  DannyHamilton          3
8.  cygan                  3

This time, the numbers to enter the TOP10 are very low: 6 Merits to top the chart, and only 3 to enter the TOP10. That is an absolute record.
41 merits are the highest on record (merit spree 30!), and 6 merits are the lowest required (merit spree 40).

I was counting the merits he sents to people and I was confused then I stopped and I also said for @DdmrDdmr to send merits to 150 different users within an hour, I wish to be like him some day.

What I think is that DdmrDdmr is reading the posts. He is one of the users that is frequently meriting me and quality posters on meta, bitcoin discussion and beginners & help board. DdmrDdmr do go back to the posts he has once merited and merit the posts at once again. This can likely be because he thinks he did not give the post enough merits and wait for theymos to give merit source the monthly merits for distribution to quality posts, or because he has many smerits and wants to send all before the next smerit is given. If you have posts on those boards and DdmrDdmr merit it, he is reading it. Also if he merit your post on those board again, it I because he waited for the monthly merit so he can merit the under-merited posts again. It can also be because of the other reason I have stated already. Since I have joined this forum, I have noticed him to be one of the merit source that distribute merit appropriately. If you post very well on the boards that DdmrDdmr is meriting users, you will notice that he is actively posting on the boards and also making quality posts there.

That's one script. Another script is Meriting posts that were Merited by at least N other users, and that's what happened in the last round.

It sounds to me like he explained on our local board how he distributes merits and some of them he doesn't read. They are distributed bot-like as LoyceV says, although I like dopamine as much as our Italian friend.

Anyway, just read what the official thread says:

Version 40 - 27/8/2023 (262 posts merited (by me) in just over 4 minutes) -> 262 sMerits
Merited all posts that:
- I have not merited before.

It is clear to me that some of them are not read, they are automatically distributed by his script. I would expect nothing less from our beloved human AI.

This is exactly how I understood that. So he didn’t read the post, at least he didn’t as we human interpret this sentence. He instantly absorbs the post content via meriting script.

We will leave the philosophical rumination about a script giving merits to a post that has already been merited by X different users without reading it to a separate thread, as this is [FUN].


Title: Re: [FUN] Is DdmrDdmr even human?
Post by: cygan on August 28, 2023, 03:03:07 PM
and his merit specifications also say that our cyborg DdmrDdmr only rewards those posts/topics that have already been rewarded by other users who have also (i strongly assume) read these threads. seen in this way, our DdmrDdmr is a freeloader who actually follows the measure and also distributes merits where these have already been distributed several times - it's really funny ;D

Post by: Csmiami on August 28, 2023, 03:09:58 PM
----

Seeing the top 10 fillippone put in there, only 2 options come to mind. One of them is that there is an actual list of "good" posts and that the script would pick from there, or that it goes through all the previously merited posts by him that include certain criteria (length, user being active etc). But one always wonders about the how-to. I would have to double check, but for example I doubt I had merits from someone other than him in some of the spanish posts, quite what led me to that conclusion.

You are absolutely correct. I was only using my own opinion to post.

@Don Pedro Dinero
You have made this clear. I thought he is reading everything the way he is meriting me and posting on the thread I I am posting.

But I am surprised because DdmrDdmr has always most of the time been the first person that send me merit on beginners and help board, and he can later merit the post again.

It's the case with most of us where he delivers merits to users within first few minutes only whenever they create some useful thread and you would find the ratio between 1-2 in the initial phase and later on continuing his spree he dedicates additional merits to them and we all know how speedy that is but the main goal is merit distribution which he's doing very well.

Sometimes I wonder if he's a merit robot or a human like we're here, things he does has never been in a normal way but like the speed of light.
I also got like one or two from him which I'd like to thank him for that... Since he doesn't give merit just like that but to interesting thread created then I'll say to those who make effort to create thread, they should keep up the good work.

Just let him enjoy his Friday night. :D

Still, we need @fillippone cause he is the one who is going to come up with the details of this spree so that we can find who enters the top 10 list, how many users got merited, and everything.

So, today, there were two merit sprees, this is the new thing in @ddmrddmr mind.

Official @ddmrddmr thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105622.msg49567272#msg49567272)



https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/09/29/Pkhk1.png
I will post those in a single update:


Merit Spree #41 by @ddmrddrmr

Official Description:
Version 41 - 29/09/2023  (139 posts merited (by me) in just over 2 minutes) -> 280 sMerits
Remerited all my merited posts since my last spree (+ some backlogged pending ones), for non-banned users (up until last friday).


My review:

A quick and dirty one. Remerited post 2x.



In the spreadsheet, you see it is a routine job for our quasi-human friend:

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/09/29/PkJlN.png

It was very similar to Merit Spree 33. Medium-sized double meriting spree. Consistent velocity.

Here's the TOP10:

Code:
1.  d5000                 18	
1.  albert0bsd            18
3.  Hispo                 16
4.  Don Pedro Dinero      14
5.  famososMuertos        12
5.  Drawesome             12
7.  seoincorporation      10
7.  Porfirii              10
9.  darbitmobilerecovery  8
10.  Rikafip                7

This time, the numbers to enter the TOP10 are higher, of course it is a double merits spree! 18 Merits to top the chart, and only 7 to enter the TOP10.
41 merits are the highest on record (merit spree 30!), and 6 merits are the lowest required (merit spree 40).

That's all folks for Merits Spree 41!



Version 42 - 29/9/2023 (215 posts merited (by me) in just over 3 minutes) -> 215 sMerits
Merited all posts that:
- I have not merited before.
- Have received merits from at least five different people since july 2023.
- Are not in Services nor in WO nor in off-topic.
The goal is to merit post I have either ignored or not come across in boards I do not visit, and that others seem to deem merit worthy, allowing me to unload a bunch of sMerits in the process.



My review:

@ddmrddmr is becoming predictable with his patterns.
Tick-tock patterns on the same day: first a double spree, then a single one.


In the spreadsheet, you see that things are getting regular here:
https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/09/29/Pk1DT.png

It was very similar to Merit Spree 27. Medium-sized single merits spree.

Here's the TOP10:

Code:
1.  o_e_l_e_o               6	
2.  sabotag3x               4
3.  vjudeu                  3
4.  Ulven                   3

8.  bitmover               2
8.  armanda90              2
8.  Accardo                2

I think this is the longest TOP10 in the history of sprees!
Being a single merits spree numbers are lower:6 Merits to top the chart, and only 2 to enter the TOP10.
41 merits are the highest on record (merit spree 30!), and this 6 merits are the lowest required on record to top a spree equalling merit spree 40!

Time to call it a day!

The irony is that DdmrDdmr Merited my post that shows he's the #4 top sender to banned users. It wouldn't hurt to exclude banned users from automated Merit sprees.

Do you want to see demonstration for DdmrDdmr like merit spree?
my method discussed above^. but it needs to prepare everything first like opening many good posts tabs. I will record a video of my browser screen for it.

EDIT:

Really impressive, but are you able to sustain such a rate for 200 tx? This is a totally different story and I guess that nobody could do that manually. This is why the human-machine interface @ddmrddmr built is so awesome! The merits come directly to his mind, materialising on the forum.

It's possible by opening multiple "windows" not "tabs" on same browser just will need more RAM to keep running those windows.

I have been busy, so I couldn't update the thread, but as usual, there were two merit sprees. This is the new pattern in @ddmrddmr artificial mind.

Official @ddmrddmr thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105622.msg49567272#msg49567272)

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/11/01/tdZXw.png

As for the last time, I will post those in a single update.

In the spreadsheet, you see the two last sprees:

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/11/27/NnjBv.png


Merit Spree #43 by @ddmrddrmr

Official Description:

Version 43 - 30/10/2023  (99 posts merited (by me) in just over 2 minutes) -> 199 sMerits
Remerited all my merited posts since my last spree (+ some backlogged pending ones), for non-banned users (up until last friday).

My review:

We are getting used to this tick/tock alternate nature of the spree from ddmrddmr.
It was very similar to Merit Spree 42, the first in last month's pair. Medium-sized double-meriting spree. Consistent velocity.

Here's the TOP10:

Code:
1.  albert0bsd        20	
2.  Don Pedro Dinero  16
3.  seoincorporation  12
4.  famososMuertos    10
5.  d5000             10
6.  Porfirii          8
6.  Hispo             8
8.  hosseinimr93      6
8.  Drawesome         6
8.  Cantsay           6

This time, the numbers to enter the TOP10 are higher, of course it is a double merits spree! 20 Merits to top the chart, and only 6 to enter the TOP10.
41 merits are the highest on record (merit spree 30!), and 6 merits are the lowest required (merit spree 40).

That's all folks for Merits Spree 43!


Merit Spree #44 by @ddmrddrmr

Official description:

Version 44 - 30/10/2023 (215 posts merited (by me) in just over 3 minutes) -> 215 sMerits
Merited all posts that:
- I have not merited before.
- Have received merits from at least five different people since september 2023.
- Are not in Services nor in WO nor in off-topic.
The goal is to merit post I have either ignored or not come across in boards I do not visit, and that others seem to deem merit worthy, allowing me to unload a bunch of sMerits in the process.

My review:

The second spree is more on the "creative side."
@ddmrddmr is becoming predictable with his patterns.
Tick-tock patterns on the same day: first a double spree, then a single one first one is a predictable, standard distribution, while the second one is on the creative side.  

It was very similar to Merit Spree 42. Medium-sized single merits spree.

Here's the TOP10:

Code:
1.  o_e_l_e_o               11
2.  gmaxwell                4
3.  dkbit98                 4
4.  virginorange            3
5.  Turbartuluk             3
5.  Ratimov                 3
5.  pooya87                 3
5.  Disruptivas             3
5.  cygan                   3
5.  1miau                   3

Being a single merits spree, numbers are lower: 11 merits to top the chart and 3 to enter the TOP10.
I will start getting merit statistics for a single merits spree! So 11 merits are the highest on record for a single merits spree! (merit spree 44!), and this 3 merits are the lowest required on the record

Time to call it a day!
See you next month merit spree!

Contrary to our mutual friend, I have an analogical life, so even if I immediately realised that there was a spree, this time, I wasn't able to update the thread! This is done on purpose, let's see If the big fish bite the bait

Merit Spree #45 by @ddmrddrmr

Official Description:

Version 45 - 08/12/2023  (118 posts merited (by me) in just under 2 minutes) -> 239 sMerits
Remerited all my merited posts since my last spree (+ some backlogged pending ones), for non-banned users (up until last friday).

My review:

This is an almost perfect reply to last month's tick/tock alternate sprees.
TICK: it was very similar to Merit Spree 43, the first in last month's pair. Medium-sized double/triple-meriting spree. Consistent velocity.
Strangely, I was the only user with Rikafip, getting a triple merit per transaction, while in all other transactions, the receiver got only two merits.

Here's the TOP10:

Code:
1.  d5000                 30
2.  Don Pedro Dinero      16
3.  seoincorporation      12
4.  famososMuertos        12
5.  Drawesome             12
6.  darbitmobilerecovery  10
7.  Zaguru12              6
7.  Nalain420             6
7.  Hispo                 6
7.  Hamza2424             6
7.  fillippone            6

Compared to Merit Spree #43, the numbers to enter the TOP10 are higher, of course it is a double/triple merits spree! 30 Merits to top the chart, and only 6 to enter the TOP10.
41 merits are the highest on record (merit spree 30!), and 6 merits are the lowest required (merit spree 40).

That's all folks for Merits Spree 45!


Merit Spree #46 by @ddmrddrmr

Official description:

Version 46 - 08/12/2023 297 posts merited (by me) in just under 5 minutes) -> 297 sMerits
Merited all posts that:
- I have not merited before.
- Have received merits from at least five different people since october 2023.
- Are not in Services nor in WO nor in off-topic.
The goal is to merit post I have either ignored or not come across in boards I do not visit, and that others seem to deem merit worthy, allowing me to unload a bunch of sMerits in the process.

My review:

TOCK The second spree is more on the "creative side." It was very similar to Merit Spree 44. Medium-sized single merits spree.

Here's the TOP10:

Code:
1.  seek3r            8	
2.  theymos           7
3.  stompix           5
4.  o_e_l_e_o         5

8.  Baki202           3
8.  alani123          3
8.  achow101          3

Being a single merits spree, numbers are lower: 8 merits to top the chart and 3 to enter the TOP10.
I will start getting merit statistics for a single merits spree! So 11 merits are the highest on record for a single merits spree! (merit spree 44!), and this 3 merits are the lowest required on the record, together with spree 44

As far as I can see, 7 of the 10 of us are from the local board, so although he wasn't specifically appointed as a source of merit for the board, he does a very good job there of handing out merit, which encourages us to write good posts.

Strangely, I was the only user with Rikafip, getting a triple merit per transaction, while in all other transactions, the receiver got only two merits.

Merit Spree #47 by @ddmrddrmr

Official Description:

Version 47 - 12/01/2024  (77 posts merited (by me) in just over 1 minute) -> 157 sMerits
Remerited all my merited posts since my last spree (+ some backlogged pending ones), for non-banned users (up until today ).

My review:
I think our Quasi-AI entity has now estabilished a pattern.
This is an almost perfect reply to last months tick/tock alternate sprees.
TICK: it was very similar to Merit Spree 43, of even lates "odd number sprees" the first in last month's pair. Medium-sized double/triple-meriting spree. Consistent velocity. The quickest spree since spree 37.

Here's the TOP10:

Code:
1.  Hispo                 18
2.  seoincorporation      12
3.  famososMuertos        10
4.  d5000                 8
5.  tranthidung           6

8.  Porfirii              4
8.  Elpeor00              4
10.  Rikafip                3

Compared to Merit Spree #45, the numbers to enter the TOP10 are lower, given the size of this spree. Only three merits to enter the chart, topped by 18 merits to @Hispo.

That's all folks for Merits Spree 47!


Merit Spree #48 by @ddmrddrmr

Official description:

Version 48 - 12/01/2024 214 posts merited (by me) in just under 4 minutes) -> 214 sMerits
Merited all posts that:
- I have not merited before.
- Have received merits from at least five different people since dicember 2023.
- Are not in Services nor in WO nor in off-topic.
The goal is to merit post I have either ignored or not come across in boards I do not visit, and that others seem to deem merit worthy, allowing me to unload a bunch of sMerits in the process.

My review:

TOCK The second spree is more on the "creative side." It was very similar to Merit Spree 46. Medium-sized single merits spree. I guess finding a post sitll not merited, but that got merits from 5 different users will get more and more difficult.

Here's the TOP10:

Code:
1.  2stout             6	
2.  cygan              4
3.  theymos            3

5.  Mia Chloe          3
5.  Hhampuz            3
5.  gmaxwell           3
5.  Dailyscript        3

Being a single merits spree, numbers are lower: 6 merits to top the chart and 3 to enter the TOP10.
I will start getting merit statistics for a single merits spree! So 11 merits are the highest on record for a single merits spree! (merit spree 44!), and this 3 merits are the lowest required on the record, together with spree 44 and 46

Sincerely speaking I am still shock till date and I don't if he is a bot that instantaneously send merits across all profile within the short period of time. Your prediction could be right because I think have received few merits from him/she within that period of time (Thursday and Friday) if i am not mistakenly.

LoyceV, TryNinja, DdmrDdmr… how many more bots do we have in forum lol. I think DdmrDdmr is using a script to send those merits simultaneously, it’s impossible for him to get it done manually in such short time frame. I don’t know the criteria for being a beneficiary of the merit spree. What I noticed is that these members have all received merits from DdmrDdmr in the past.


Title: Re: [FUN] Is DdmrDdmr even human?
Post by: cafter on January 22, 2024, 08:44:53 AM
I think the script works like this or maybe it is possible by this method:
DdmrDdmr first saves the good posts while reading them in a folder or note, saves by copying the merit button hyperlink. so when clicking that link the pages open on "send merit" page.
when the time comes to start a merit spree, he replaces the merits number with number he wants to send per second or 2 seconds.

the bot or script navigates
 https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/01/22/kStSz.png
this texts and enter the number then clicks send. every sec or timeframe we want it to send.
 
it can be done by browser automation using python script using selenium library.

I think you are getting closer to the solution, but I guess he is now using more sophisticated ways of interacting with the forum.
He wouldn't be an AI if he had to automate via script a human interface; I expect him to directly dialogue with forum software at a lower level.
Hint: you didn't read the whole thread, did you?

I read the thread but i learned about python and selenium recently so wanted to share this and applying my little coding knowledge lol.
it is not possible by selenium because I keep my sleep time 1 sec for the page to load fully. and @ddmrddrmr sends 1.2 merits per sec on average.
in middle of the spree i will get stopped because of internet connection or page will not load.

Marty, you're not thinking fourth-dimensionally.

You have to elevate your game and think about new solutions.
You are getting closer, but apparently you are missing the last bit.
If you succeed, one day, you will have your own merit spree thread as well.

You should try headless browser in order to increase the speed. I'm not sure it's going to be the solution for you but you should at least give it a try. A few weeks ago I used some Selenium scripts via a headless browser and the speed was improved a lot with it.

Apparently, I have to work improving the quality of my posts.

Me neither... didn't get nuttin.

not that I am begging.. that would be funny

And yes, I am slacking as well as far as my usual meta post is concerned.
What is happening to me?

Whatever might be happening to you, you need to snap out it.

If I am getting it right then FYI it takes 7 seconds to scroll down and see number of merits you got in last 120 days.  ;) :D

Wow, this was by far the spree I am reporting with more delay.
Long gone were the days when I started updating the spree while it was still ongoing.
The reason for this is because of the 280 merits our mutual friend distributed. Not a single one landed on your truly meritband, so it went unnoticed.
My bad; I have to improve my post quality, apparently.


Official @ddmrddmr thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105622.msg49567272#msg49567272)

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/02/17/YH0ac.png

First, the usual the usual spreadsheet, where you see the two last sprees:

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/02/17/YHOH5.png

As you can see, I added a column that computes the total merits of the paired TICK-TOCK sprees.
This last one is by far the smallest on record. Either @ddmrddmr has become more efficient at distributing merits the traditional ways, or he's saving merits for later!


Merit Spree #49 by @ddmrddrmr

Official Description:

Version 49 - 16/02/2024  (88 posts merited (by me) in just over 1 minute) -> 178 sMerits
Remerited all my merited posts since my last spree (+ some backlogged pending ones), for non-banned users (up until today ).

My review:


TICK: This is an almost perfect reply of merit spree #43. Medium-sized double-meriting spree. Only two posts got triple-merited. Consistent velocity. Textbook TICK Spree.

Here's the TOP10:

Code:
1.  d5000                 28
2.  Hispo                 16
3.  hilariousetc          12
4.  Porfirii              10
5.  Rikafip               8
5.  famososMuertos        8
5.  darbitmobilerecovery  8
8.  seoincorporation      6
8.  Jating                6
8.  Don Pedro Dinero      6

Compared to Merit Spree #47, the numbers to enter the TOP10 are higher, which is quite usual. Only 6 merits to enter the chart, topped yet another time by @d5000, with 28 merits, getting just shy of his record of 30 in merits spree #47. Shall I start taking note of who's topping this chart more often?

That's all folks for Merits Spree 47!


Merit Spree #50 by @ddmrddrmr

Official description:

Version 50 - 16/02/2024 102 posts merited (by me) in just under 2 minutes) -> 102 sMerits
Merited all posts that:
- I have not merited before.
- Have received merits from at least five different people since january 2024.
- Are not in Services nor in WO nor in off-topic.
- Are not in thread IDs: 5253221, 5156376, 5445913
The goal is to merit post I have either ignored or not come across in boards I do not visit, and that others seem to deem merit worthy, allowing me to unload a bunch of sMerits in the process.

My review:

TOCK This second spree was by far the smallest of the bunch: roughly half of the size of merit spree 48. Small-sized single merits spree. As I said, maybe it is difficult. to find a post satisfying the criteria, of maybe @ddmrddmr is saving merit for later.

Here's the TOP10:

Code:
1.  pooya87           3
1.  cygan             3
3.  1miau             3
4.  Volgastallion     2
5.  Pulsar77          2
5.  Pmalek            2
5.  paid2             2
5.  mrust_mobile      2
5.  icopress          2
5.  Husna QA          2
5.  Humblevirus       2
5.  Gencecikmen       2
5.  gagux123          2
5.  dkbit98           2
5.  Distraction       2
5.  CLS63             2
5.  bitmover          2

Being a single merits spree, numbers are lower: 3 merits to top the chart and 2 to enter the TOP10.
I will start getting merit statistics for a single merits spree! So 11 merits are the highest on record for a single merits spree! (merit spree 44!), and these 3 merits are the lowest required on the record, together with spree #44, #46 and #48: wen two?

Time to call it a day!

I will work hard to be admitted back into the @ddmrddmr merit spree and be more proactive next time!
I must admit that the 50 merit spree is quite an extensive effort by our Spanish entity.

See you next merit spree!

First, I hit a hard bump at 534 (if you get the reference, you get it), and now I am slowly drifting toward irrelevancy.
 
But rest assured  I will fight my way back to the right path.
And sooner or later,  I will top one of those charts, even beating @d5000!

Well, the context of my specific assertion about "not getting nuttin" was that I was attempting to refer to DdmrDdmr's latest merit sending spree that would have had been in the last 24 hours (at the time of this post)...

So if I follow your suggestion, and I look at my received merits in the past 120 days, if I am reading this correctly, then I can see that the last time that DdmrDdmr had sent me any merits was on December 8, 2023.. and sure.. not that I am complaining or even begging for that matter..... ... .yet..   See Exhibit A

As far as DdmrDdmr's recently sent merits (from yesterday), it appears that he sent several hundred merits (280 according to fillippone, which fillippone more or less characterized as whimpy, without using such word.. no wonder fillippone is not receiving any smerits from DdmrDdmr, #nohomo) in a relatively short period of time in a couple of bursts, and the user name of this here cat is not contained within that.  See Exhibit B.

I will work hard to be admitted back into the @ddmrddmr merit spree and be more proactive next time!

If you are successful in your endeavor to be received back into DdmrDdmr's embraces, you might need to start a thread entitled something like:  "Everything that you wanted to know about 'How to successfully kiss butt with enthusiasm' but were afraid to ask."

    Wow, this was by far the spree I am reporting with more delay.
    Long gone were the days when I started updating the spree while it was still ongoing.
    The reason for this is because of the 280 merits our mutual friend distributed. Not a single one landed on your truly meritband, so it went unnoticed.
    My bad; I have to improve my post quality, apparently.


    It seems that this also had to happen once, and now at least you know how those who mostly get nothing in merit rains like this feel. I got 1, just enough to avoid category zero - but obviously we will have to try much harder in the future ;)

          Well, the context of my specific assertion about "not getting nuttin" was that I was attempting to refer to DdmrDdmr's latest merit sending spree that would have had been in the last 24 hours (at the time of this post)...

          So if I follow your suggestion, and I look at my received merits in the past 120 days, if I am reading this correctly, then I can see that the last time that DdmrDdmr had sent me any merits was on December 8, 2023.. and sure.. not that I am complaining or even begging for that matter..... ... .yet..   See Exhibit A

          As far as DdmrDdmr's recently sent merits (from yesterday), it appears that he sent several hundred merits (280 according to fillippone, which fillippone more or less characterized as whimpy, without using such word.. no wonder fillippone is not receiving any smerits from DdmrDdmr, #nohomo) in a relatively short period of time in a couple of bursts, and the user name of this here cat is not contained within that.


          My bad for not understanding the context correctly. It's true that DdmrDdmr is not generous when it comes to sending merits to JayJuanGee. But you do have a lengthy list of Merits that you received in last 120 days and soon you will be member of club that have 10k merits.

          Yesterday, DdmrDdmr did 197 transactions related to merits sending that lasted for 39 minutes approximately.

          Between how DdmrDdmr send so many merits in shot span of time? He do that manually or he has some script that do that job.

          I am surely not complaining about not receiving merits from DdmrDdmr.. He is number 7 in my top 10 list of members who sent merits to my historical posts.. . and so therefore he is recommended by 7 out of 10 dentists (that was a slogan for a chewing gum commercial)....

          It's fine as long as he is doing that himself. We have a bot in the form of ChartBuddy and it's best that we restrict bots numbers to one only.

          I generally thought that after hitting legendary rank one would stop checking or getting excited when they receive a merit, but that's not the case at all, at least not for me. It also helps that it allows one merit others.

          That's right. Some Legendaries may no longer maintain their quality because merit no longer matters to them. I have a different mindset, I care about the merit system and I want to contribute to many users (especially to my local board users) and help them rank up. That's why I try my best to maintain my quality and contribution even though lately I lack the sMerit to help them much.

          Some users have a strange mindset in my opinion. They rarely send merit to Legendary because they think Legendary doesn't need merit. I often remind my local board users about this and I expect them to send merit to anyone regardless of rank and of course on quality posts.

          That would be just a small percentage of the forum, cause in my observation, legendary members gets a higher percentage of merits even though they make up the lowest number by ranks.

          You are right.  I am probably not remembering very well..

          And here is a funny variation of the commercial from 2006.. and in that commercial they are saying 4 out of 5 dentists... so that 4 out of 5 might have had been the historical claim of the commercial... another funny thing is that it is a compromise position between the two of us.

          I just assume the final dentist is there to maintain balance and heep the companies on their toes to keep improving. Then when I overthink it, I think it's a gimmick; they expect the public to call their bluff if they say all dentists recommend it, so they say 9 out of 10, which has a ring to it.

          We are lied to in a lot of ways including very essential facts that do not add up with actual math and actual science.

          Today on Saifedean Ammous's podcast (https://overcast.fm/+3DFCoCpqI), I was listening to a scientist (Dr. Willie Soon) talk about his frustrations with mainstream science that frequently is not backed up by actual numbers.

          I am lagging even more than the last time.
          I am on the lazy side of the event. There have been many times when I rushed to the forum station only to update this report.
          Last time, I wasn't involved in the sprees; this time, I was barely scratched, yet I had to find a time slot to analyse this all.
          I promise to be more reactive next time.
          First things first!

          Official @ddmrddmr thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105622.msg49567272#msg49567272)

          https://talkimg.com/images/2024/03/25/Jq7e1.png

          First, the usual the usual spreadsheet, where you see the two last sprees:

          https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/03/25/JqBGm.png

          As you can see, the addition of the total merits per in the paired TICK-TOCK sprees has already underlined a new record: this is the smallest merit-circulating spree since launch.
          As this last one is by far the smallest on record, either @ddmrddmr has become more efficient at distributing merits the traditional ways, or he's saving merits for later!


          Merit Spree #51 by @ddmrddrmr

          Official Description:

          Version 51 - 25/03/2024  (76 posts merited (by me) in just over 1 minute) -> 154 sMerits
          Remerited all my merited posts since my last spree (+ some backlogged pending ones), for non-banned users (up until last friday ).

          My review:


          TICK: This is an almost perfect reply of merit spree #50. Small-sized double-meriting spree.
          Textbook TICK Spree.

          Here's the TOP10:

          Code:
          1.  d5000                 24

          5.  Don Pedro Dinero      8

          Compared to Merit Spree #47, the numbers to enter the TOP10 are higher, which is quite usual. Only 4 merits to enter the chart, topped yet another time by @d5000, with 24 merits, getting just shy of his record of 30 in merits spree #47. Shall I start taking note of who's topping this chart more often?

          That's all folks for Merits Spree 51!


          Merit Spree #52 by @ddmrddrmr

          Official description:

          Version 52 - 25/03/2024 96 posts merited (by me) in just under 2 minutes) -> 96 sMerits
          Merited all posts that:
          - I have not merited before.
          - Have received merits from at least five different people since february 2024.
          - Are not in Services nor in WO nor in off-topic.
          - Are not in thread IDs: 5253221, 5156376, 5445913, 5485091, 5485659, 5485801, 5486754
          The goal is to merit post I have either ignored or not come across in boards I do not visit, and that others seem to deem merit worthy, allowing me to unload a bunch of sMerits in the process.

          My review:

          TOCK This second spree was by far the smallest of the bunch: roughly half the size of merit spree 48 and similar, yet smaller than 50. It was a small-sized single merit spree. As I said, maybe it is difficult to find a post satisfying the criteria, or maybe @ddmrddmr is saving merit for later, so I tend to lean toward this one.

          Here's the TOP10:

          Code:
          1.  paid2           3	
          1.  nutildah        3
          3.  Moreno233       3
          4.  DannyHamilton   3
          5.  promise444c5    2
          5.  PowerGlove      2
          5.  Pmalek          2
          5.  LoyceV          2
          5.  Humblevirus     2
          5.  Gencecikmen     2
          5.  Etranger        2
          5.  cygan           2
          5.  BlackHatCoiner  2
          5.  apogio          2
          5.  $weetne$$       2

          Being a single merits spree, numbers are lower: 3 merits to top the chart and 2 to enter the TOP10.
          I will start getting merit statistics for a single merits spree! So 11 merits are the highest on record for a single merits spree! (merit spree 44!), and these 3 merits are the lowest required on the record, together with spree #44, #46 and #48: wen two?

          Time to call it a day!

          I will work hard to be admitted back into the @ddmrddmr merit spree and be more proactive next time!
          I must admit that the 50 merit spree is quite an extensive effort by our Spanish entity.

          See you at the next merit spree!

          This time I saw the spree as it happened.
          I am smiling on the crowd, again.

          That’s some fun image, lol… I suppose that’s you in the corner with a unicorn corn on your head, observing all the fun while on your device. I could really be that at times, just before I choose to get in on the party and go gaga but,

          Will you tell them what’s going on, naaahhh, don’t crash the party!

          Is that your device even or your cup of the Italian special Amaretto.

          Even if I caught the spree in real time, I am lagging as I am not an AI and I had something carbon-based to care about.
          But I enjoyed the fact I was able to intercept the spree even before it stopped dumping merits on me!

          Official @ddmrddmr thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105622.msg49567272#msg49567272)

          https://talkimg.com/images/2024/05/06/r9KFZ.png

          First, the usual the usual spreadsheet, where you see the two last sprees:

          https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/05/06/r9O6w.png

          According to the total merits per pair of TICK-TOCK sprees, this is the new (lower) record since its inception.

          As I said last month, @ddmrddmr has become more efficient at distributing merits in the traditional way, or he's saving merits for later! I honestly am rooting for the first option!


          Merit Spree #53 by @ddmrddrmr

          Official Description:


          Version 53 - 04/05/2024  (76 posts merited (by me) in just over 1 minute) -> 156 sMerits
          Remerited all my merited posts since my last spree (+ some backlogged pending ones), for non-banned users (up until last Friday ).

          My review:


          TICK: This is an almost perfect reply of merit spree #52. Smaller-sized double-meriting spree.
          Textbook TICK Spree.
          Smallest on record, the machinery is well perfectioned, with sheer efficiency.

          Here's the TOP10:

          Code:
          1.  d5000                 24	
          2.  Hispo                 14
          3.  famososMuertos        14
          4.  darbitmobilerecovery  10
          5.  Don Pedro Dinero      8
          6.  Rikafip               6
          6.  Porfirii              6
          6.  fillippone            6
          9.  Unknown Op            4
          9.  seoincorporation      4
          9.  PX-Z                  4
          9.  nc50lc                4
          9.  Amphenomenon          4

          Compared to Merit Spree #51, the numbers to enter the TOP10 are higher, which is quite usual. Only 4 merits to enter the chart, topped yet another time by @d5000, once more time topping the chart with the usual 24 merits, getting just shy of his record of 30 in merits spree #47. Shall I start taking note of who's topping this chart more often?

          That's all folks for Merits Spree 53!


          Merit Spree #54 by @ddmrddrmr

          Official description:

          Version 54 - 04/05/2024 78 posts merited (by me) in just over 1 minute) -> 78 sMerits
          Merited all posts that:
          - I have not merited before.
          - Have received merits from at least five different people since april 2024.
          - Are not in Services nor in WO nor in off-topic.
          - Are not in thread IDs: 5253221, 5156376, 5445913, 5485091, 5485659, 5485801, 5486754
          The goal is to merit post I have either ignored or not come across in boards I do not visit, and that others seem to deem merit worthy, allowing me to unload a bunch of sMerits in the process.

          My review:

          TOCK This second spree was again the smallest of the bunch, right smaller than #52. For the first time, the spree TICK and the spree TOCK had roughly the same number of TXs. This spree was a "single one", as you can see from the spreadsheet and the chart of the most merited users,

          Here's the TOP10:

          Code:
          1.  paid2            7
          2.  PowerGlove       3
          3.  achow101         3
          4.  TryNinja         2
          5.  theymos          2
          5.  gagux123         2
          5.  BlackHatCoiner   2
          5.  7juju            2
          5.  _act_            2

          Being a single merits spree, numbers are lower: 7 merits to top the chart and 2 to enter the TOP10.
          Paid2 once again topped the chart; what is his secret for this consistency?
           
          I will start getting merit statistics for a single merits spree! So 11 merits are the highest on record for a single merits spree! (merit spree 44!), and these 3 merits are the lowest required on the record, together with spree #44, #46 and #48: wen two?

          Time to call it a day!


          See you at the next merit spree!
