1. IntroductionRecently I’ve seen various post refer to the number of sMerits been given out per transaction been low. This is an inherent feature in a system where the number of weekly awarded sMerits is pretty low on overall terms, and has stabilized as of late in the 3,9k-4,4k per week area. I wondered how the number of sMerits per TX was behaving Forum wide, but was specifically curious as to whether this was roughly the same on all Forum Section/Subsections or not. I also have the feeling that, regardless of the amount of sMerit been awarded per TX, the actual number of times a posts was been awarded by multiple users was rather low.This would lead to the two factors being combined in practice: low amount of sMerits per TX, and low amount of times a post is actually being merited…. And this is what is going on. Now whether this is as it should be or not I cannot tell. But let’s speculate: if we were to magically double our sMerit over night or even triple it, how would we use it? Giving more sMerit per TX ? awarding more posts ? allowing ourselves to award sMerit to posts that we consider valuable, but that have already been awarded by some ? A noticeable increase in our sMerit accounts could probably change out awarding habits, but since that is just left there for speculation purposes, let’s analyse what reality has to offer… Note: I’ve added the tabular data to the Merit Dashboard so that it can be filtered by different dimensions (dates, boards, etc.). Data is not graphical there.
This post aggregates all historical data. Anyone interested on narrowing down the date scope can do so on the Merit Dashboard (Post Summary tab).2. sMerit awarded per TXI’ve simplified the cases shown here in order to avoid overcrowding the post with too many graphics. With that in mind, the information is seen from the overall forum’s perspective, and then is broken down by local/non-local boards for TXs that award 1 sMerit and TXs that award more than 5 sMerits (as I found these to be the most representative cases). 2.1 sMerit awarded per TX – Forum overall Out of the (up to last Friday) 79.335 sMerit transactions (TXs), 69,08% award 1 sMerit, and another 14,29% award 2 sMerits. From there on the percentages decrease, with bumps on multiples of five. 2.2 Non-local boards – TXs involving 1 sMerit If we take a look at the distribution of sMerit awarding per forum section/subsection, and focus on those TXs that are awarding 1 sMerit, we can see that there are big variations depending on the board that we focus on. For example, Economics has 81,60% of the TXs being awarded to this board consisting of 1 sMerit. On the other extreme, Politics & Society has 54,23% of the TXs involving one sMerit. This means that the awarding TXs are of a smaller quantity in Economics than in the Politics and Society. That is a 27,37 point difference between the two extreme board section. 2.3 Non-local boards – TXs involving >5 sMerit Here too there’s a large gap between the board that has the greatest percentage of >5 sMerits TXs (Off-topic, being 11,19% of all TX on this board) and the almost lowest (Bitcoin Technical Support, with 1,09% of all the sMerit TXs in the board involving > 5 sMerits). 2.4 Local boards – TXs involving 1 sMerit The Portuguese Local board has 88,15% of the sMerit TXs involving 1 sMerit, while on the Greek board this happens only on 50% of the sMerit TXs (but the absolute number is rather low there). The larger local forums (Russian and Indosenian) are in the 68-69% range. In other words, the Portuguese board, along with Spanish, Japanese, German and Croatian, constitute the “meaner” boards in terms of sMerit awarded per TX. Of course the second derivative is that this is not some innate cultural feature, but rather more a lack of sMerit to award or a lack of good post to award to. 2.5 Local boards – TXs involving >5 sMerit Here the distribution gap is also enormous. The Greek board has awarded >5 sMerits in 24,39% of the board’s TXs, while the Japanese only 0,4%. 60% of local boards are under the 5% mark. 3. Number of times a post is meritedThe same case simplification as above applies to keep the number of graphs to a reasonable representative level. 3.1 Number of times a post is merited – Forum overall Out of the (up to last Friday) 55.893 merited distinct posts, 81,43% of them have only been awarded sMerit once, and an additional 11,40% twice. We know that circulating sMerit seems rather low, but the fact that a community as large as this one has it’s meritable posts merited by one or two member in almost 93% of the cases is kind of low. It’s like saying the vast majority of the posts are only appreciated by 1 or two people …. 3.2 Non-local boards – Number of posts sMerited 1 time only Bitcoin Technical Support comes out best, since 69,55% of the merited posts are only merited once (so the remaining 30,45% are merited more than once). The worst case is Politics & Society, where 91,05% of merited posts get awarded just once. That’s over a 20 point gap variation between the two extreme sections. 3.3 Non-local boards – Number of posts sMerited > 5 times The absolute numbers are pretty low (see the lower row of the data table on the graph). Meta comes out best, with 3,65% of merited posts being awarded sMerit by over 5 people. On the other extreme, Speculation Altcoin has a 0,29% ratio, but even mining is really low (0,48%). 3.4 Local boards – Number of posts sMerited 1 time only India has the worst ratio (Scandinavian is a real outlier), with 94,55% of merited posts on the board being merited only once. Arabic comes out best as ratio is down to 72,84% of the cases on its local board. 3.5 Local boards – Number of posts sMerited > 5 times The Spanish board has a really poor ratio, since only 1 post (0,18%) has received sMerit from more than five people. Absolute numbers are so low, that I would only consider the Russian, Turkish, and Indonesian board ratios as representative, with less than 3% ratios but enough absolute base.

Mi primera intención era plantear esta cuestión en el foro inglés, concretamente en Meta que es donde se discute todo lo relativo al foro, su estructura y su normativa. No obstante, creo que es mejor empezar en nuestro foro local, dado que el contexto de este post nos afectará a todos eventualmente de manera más directa (a los europeos, con perdón de nuestros amigos latinoamericanos) aunque hay que ver con en qué grado y con qué reglas de juego exactas. Esta semana, la Comisión de Asuntos Jurídicos del Parlamento Europeo falló a favor de proseguir con su propuesta de modificación de la normativa europea de derechos de autor, adaptando su contenido a los tiempos actuales y, por ende, ampliando impacto sobre las plataformas digitales de contenidos en internet. El cambio normativo no es un hecho consolidado, sino un proceso que puede culminar en los próximos meses, máximo un año, con un nuevo marco jurídico nacido para ser controvertido desde sus inicios. Efectivamente, la Directiva del Parlamento Europeo y del Consejo sobre los derechos de autor en el mercado único digital (véase https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/ES/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A52016PC0593) propone cambios conceptualmente severos y que contravienen la libertad digital, para volver a canonizar los derechos de autor como alma mater preferente. Cabe dejar patente desde el inicio el articulado laxo de la propuesta normativa, donde enumera intenciones, pero de ninguna manera específica con detalle la manera de llevar a cabo las medidas propuestas, las implicaciones económicas (tanto en términos de sanción como en términos de pago de derechos de autor), ni el alcance exacto (grandes corporaciones, pequeñas y medianas, etc.). Tampoco he visto cómo afectaría a entornos globales alimentados de contenido por parte de usuarios de múltiples naciones, europeos entre ellos como es nuestro caso, de ahí la motivación de este redactado. La propuesta europea tiene varias vertientes (incluso para el Big Data en lo cual no voy a entrar ahora), dentro de las cuales destacan por su controversia las siguientes: Artículo 11: Protección de las publicaciones de prensa en lo relativo a los usos digitales. En resumidas cuentas, y hablando en plata, podemos estar ante dificultades para poder incluir un enlace a un artículo (por cierto, como es de costumbre y cortesía como he hecho yo arriba) o un extracto entrecomillado. Las derivadas en el fondo serían de naturaleza económica donde, por lo que he entendido, dicha referencia a material con derechos de autor debería pasar por caja (claro que no se especifica si sería la plataforma la que debería hacerlo o el usuario de la misma). Es una especie de resurrección y extensión a todo Europa de la tasa que se le puso a Google por los enlaces a las noticias en España, y que a finales del año 2014 supuso el cierre del servicio de Google Noticias en España. Los casos de falsos positivos son potencialmente un quebradero de cabeza, dado que gana el que primero lo registra y sólo falta que no registres algo (un artículo, por ejemplo) para que otro más espabilado se apodere de él y lo registe a la espera de que caigas tú en su casilla de Monópoly, debiendo pagar por haber usado tu propio artículo. Puede parecer exagerado, pero no imposible (sobre todo si hay dinero de por medio; igual que parece imposible que alguien se lance delante de un coche para lograr una indemnización del seguro.. y lo hacen). Artículo 13: Uso de contenidos protegidos por parte de proveedores de servicios de la sociedad de la información que almacenen y faciliten acceso a grandes cantidades de obras y otras prestaciones cargadas por sus usuarios. Esta sí que es una joya. El artículo, de manera resumida, pretende que las plataformas de la sociedad de información apliquen filtros a los contenidos (nuestros post habituales serían susceptibles de estar al amparo de este artículo), evitando la publicación de textos, imágenes y videos protegidos por derechos de autor. Es decir, los clásicos memes que se configuran en base a un extracto de video de una película, serie, noticia, etc., y los estáticos en base a una imagen, serían escrutados y prohibidos/borrados en caso de estar protegidos por derechos de autor en todo o parte. Claro que tampoco he visto especificado el alcance de esta acción. Las grandes corporaciones de internet con base europea seguro que estarían sometidas a la normativa, pero ¿qué sucedería con un foro más pequeño o local? , ¿Cómo afecta a los contenidos alimentados por ciudadanos europeos en una plataforma internacional como Bitcointalk? Ante estas propuestas, ya hay una petición en change.org para para este tipo de censura recaudatoria (véase https://www.change.org/p/european-parliament-stop-the-censorship-machinery-save-the-internet?utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition, con ya 491K firmantes y aumentando rápidamente el contador). Igual nos estamos alarmando demasiado, dado que el articulado fino no está redactado y, al fin al cabo, es el que cuenta. Pero el marco global que ya está validado por parte de la Comisión Europea de Asuntos Jurídicos no es baladí. Tenemos presente los recientes cambios en la ley de protección de datos (RGPD), puesta en marcha hace un ayer un mes. La RGPD si que tiene una aparente buena intención de cara al ciudadano, pero resulta un fiasco y un mar de lagunas para las corporaciones, que de golpe y porrazo se han vuelto más tontas. Donde antes había amplia Inteligencia de Clientes forjada en base a una visión única del Cliente en el negocio, ahora hay una vuelta a los orígenes y a los silos de información inconexos entre por ejemplo varias compañías de un mismo grupo. Pero esta es otra historia … En lo relativo a Bitcointalk, no tengo claro el alcance. La primera tentación es el de tildar la implicación (potencial por ahora) como nula, dado que Bitcointalk tiene su sede de registro en Panamá (según https://whois.net). Podría ser que el alcance directo sea nulo, convirtiendo este escrito en inútil por cuanto no serviría para mi objetivo ulterior que es el de determinar su posible implicación en este foro. Claro que por otro lado, el contenido generado por Europeos que incumplan las normativas en materia de derechos de autor, y que luego es subido a Bitcointalk, conceptualmente contravienen las normas, si bien diría que con poca cabida para la persecución en la práctica mientras Bitcointalk carezca de estructura en Europa y los usuarios tengan una pseudo-anonimización. Conceptualmente, esta normativa podría salpicar a otros países como los Estados Unidos. No creo que estén por la labor de aplicarlo en su propio suelo (virtual), pero cuanto menos las corporaciones internacionales con sede en Europa deberán pasar por el aro. En el fondo, si la clave es tener la base operativa fuera de Europa para evitar estos problemas, podríamos ver la migración de negocios y foros europeos impactados a países de fuera para salvaguardar la normativa. Y luego nos lamentaríamos de su fuga, cómo no… P.D. El campo "subject" podría ser un poco más largo en nuestro foro local (no me cabe el interrogante de apertura del Subject, y me he tenido que saltar un "a"). Nuestro idioma suele traer frases con más caracteres que en inglés leñe ... |

Merit DashboardThe dashboard gives you access to anyone’s complete merit history in the TX tab, surpassing the 120 day limit. Link: BitcoinTalk Merit Dashboard. Google Sheet Tabular sumary for all merited accounts (updated weekly): (user_id, name, datecreated, rank, posts, activity, merit, MeritReceived, startedwith, meritsent, probableInitialRank, url) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mD6cdsQNJ8dauTL-XLi8I0oDG5WBl0z0NeKzXTByNyw/edit?usp=sharingData as of 03/05/2024: Updated the Merit Dashboard to reflect the most recent sMerit available data: Total sMerit: 1.792.795 Total TXs: 954.985 From Users: 25.658 To Users: 47.891 minDate: 2018-01-24 22:12:21 maxDate: 2024-05-03 02:47:54
New: added Matrix Tab (last Tab) to reflect and update this analysis: Merited on multiple Subsections and the Correlation MatrixMerit Race per board (only adding Merits on that board) - selectable users..  -> Does not reorder positions, and frames are months. Just added a quick tab to the Dashboard (called "last time merited") that allows us to see when we were last merited by someone, and/or when we last merited a given profile.  How it works: 1) Type in your username on the top right box, and press enter. 2) The top left list on will display the date of the last time you merited each profile. The default order is by Username, but you can click on the date header to sort by date. 3) The bottom left list displays the date when you last merited each profile (same sort order comments as above). 4) The Received Merits chart displays the overall received merits received by the UserName provided in step 1. Likewise with the Sent Merits chart. 5) If you click on a given name on the "Last Time Received" list, the "Received Merit" chart will show you how many merits per month the selected profile has sent you. Click the name from the list to deselect (and erase the applied filter). 6) Likewise, do the same in the "Last Time Sent" list to see how many merits per month you sent to a given profile on the list. Click again to deselect. https://public.tableau.com/views/BitcointalkMeritDashboard/LastTimeMerited?:display_count=y&:origin=viz_share_linkNote: I wanted to have both lists and charts filter when you select a name from any of the lists at the same time. So far, it needs to be done separately on each list.I’ve added the above table, with all the full 14 months of data to the Merit Dashboard (last 2 Tabs). There, you can play around with the filters to: - Delimit the comparison to a set of specific boards. - Delimit the months (i.e. exclude abnormal values). The output is something like this:  https://public.tableau.com/views/BitcointalkMeritDashboard/MeritperPost?:display_count=y&:origin=viz_share_link https://public.tableau.com/views/BitcointalkMeritDashboard/MeritperPostIIChart?:display_count=y&:origin=viz_share_linkFull description here: Merit per post per board IIAdded the lists to the Merit Dashboard. (Last tab, or https://public.tableau.com/shared/J8MWCR5H2?:display_count=y&:origin=viz_share_link). The data included is as of 07/02/2019. I’ve still got to see what update frequency to use for this tab (initially, I’ll try to make it weekly, alongside all other tabs but the one on the number of posts which is always monthly). The screen looks like this:  There are 3 sections on the screen: a) Who ranked whom – Ranking: It shows an ordered list of those who have ranked most people on the forum. In order to search within the list, either scroll around, or use the UserFromName filter on the right hand side of the screen (once filtered though, we’ll lose sight of the proper rank position, as it will be limited to a single entry). b) Who ranked me: It displays the list of profiles that ranked me up, the date, TX, merits and post. The post name is clickable, and the menu that pops-up lets you go to the post itself on Bitcointalk. c) Who I ranked: It displays the list of profiles that I’ve ranked-up, the date, TX, merits and post. The post name is clickable, and the menu that pops-up lets you go to the post itself on Bitcointalk. You can change the user here in the UserName box (and press enter) in order to change the view to that of another user (applies to both sections "b" and "c" simultaneously).
Google Sheet Tabular sumary for all merited accounts (updated weekly): (user_id, name, datecreated, rank, posts, activity, merit, MeritReceived, startedwith, meritsent, probableInitialRank, url) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mD6cdsQNJ8dauTL-XLi8I0oDG5WBl0z0NeKzXTByNyw/edit?usp=sharing-Created a couple of Tabs to show a Wordcloud with who merited you and whom you merited. -Created Tab to view the total number of Merit Senders and Receivers forum wide (see sMerit participants – a worrying descending trend (!/?)). -Created Tab to view Merit Streaks (see Received Merit - Top Streaks (merited days in a row) - Updated). -Created Tab to compare post evolution on local boards (see Analysis – Net Post evolution in all Local Boards).
Note: If anyone wants to know how many merits they earned per day (as opposed to per month) and/or when was the last time so and so merited someone or vice-versa (or see the merits received per month from such and such), that is achievable through the Personal Summary Tab (by clicking on meriters/merited names and or changing the view to day or week instead on month). This is pretty powerful, although not trivial to use. If anyone want’s to give it a go and encounters issues, tell me and I’ll detail the process.Edit 11/10/2019:Added a couple of Tabs at the end of the Merit Dashboard to display: Who merited you (size is proportional to the amount of sMerits they sent you):  https://public.tableau.com/shared/5QX4S5TCQ?:display_count=yes&:origin=viz_share_linkWhom you merited:  https://public.tableau.com/shared/5QX4S5TCQ?:display_count=yes&:origin=viz_share_linkEdit 02/10/2019:I’ve created a new Tab called Merit Senders /Receivers (fourth from the left) which lets us see most of the information shown in sMerit participants – a worrying descending trend (!/?), but from a monthly perspective:  The novel elements are nFromUsers (Senders) which represents the total number of distinct users that sent sMerit on a given month, and nToUsers (Receivers) which is the total number of distinct recipients of sMerit in a given month. - If we apply no filters, we get the general forum-wide overview. - We can filter by UserFromName (or Id), to see the amount of distinct people we merit per month. - Likewise, filtering by UserToName (or Id) will display the number of distinct people that have merited that profile. - Similarly, applying the Section/Subsection filter allows us to see the number of meriters and merited by that concept (i.e. local board).
Edit 09/11/2018:I added by request a filter on the Ranked-up Tab (called "subsection (choose one)"). This filter was non-trivial, and on this tab has the semantics of filtering the ranked-up users to those with at least 1 received sMerit in the selected Subsection. This is very useful for local boards, as for example filtering by subsection “French” will show all users that have ranked-up needing merit, and that have received at least 1 sMerit in the French Local board. It is very likely that these users are therefore French (or affinities), and thus is a way of seeing who has ranked-up on a local board. Obviously there can be false positives, created by multilingual people who post and get merited on more than one local board. Also locals who only get merited on English board sections only will not be detected as a local of a given language. Edit 11/10/2018:Tableau has had recent updates, which after a bit of tweaking, now allow the Merit Dashboard to be visible on multiple devices with better fitting. I’ve arranged things around so that a generic phone device can now be used to view the Merit Dashboard (specially in portrait mode). I may still make arrangements in the following days, since one or two horizontal scrolls are not working yet, and a few other minor things need to be adjusted. Since the Dashboard often filters when you select a chart bar or a table row, it may not be that easy to get used to it on a mobile, while scrolling around and not accidently activating a filter. I personally prefer a larger screen though, but I think this version is a decent starting point for mobile visualization of the Dashboard. Edit 09/10/2018:Added a new tab to the Merit Dashboard called " Merited User Summary". The tab allows you to get a quick visual summary for your profile (or anyone else’s), summarizing the core indicators, summary of sMerits received and sent per month, implied Ranks, and board section/subsections, as well as the users you merit and that have merited you.  It’s interesting to click on the images and use them as filters. For example: - Clicking on a specific Received or Sent month on the charts, adjusts all sections to the data for that month (click again to deselect or use the arrows situated on the bottom right of the screen). - Clicking on a Specific subsection acts likewise. - Clicking on a specific From User allows us to see a summary of when that user sent us sMerit, adjusting the month and subsections accordingly. To User works in the same way. Edit 04/07/2018:Added a Tab called Reciprocal sMerit which, if used properly, could help to detect Merit Abuse (see my post on this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4428616.msg41487786#msg41487786). The Dashboard has now grown now quite a bit since the initial version... The dashboard gives you access to anyone’s complete merit history in the TX tab, surpassing the 120 day limit. Added this week: Post summary (distribution of sMerit per TX and TXs per post). Added Recently: De-ranked Users, Potential Merit Sources, User Summary, Section/Subsection, Rankings and WordCloud.
I’ve been considering updating the data of some of my previous analysis. Since the process is rather manual, I thought it would be nice to bring it together into a common Merit Dashboard, in order to keep it all in one place, and to ease the updating process on a more regular basis if necessary. I’ve started off by including what I’ve considered the most relevant information, using a set of tabs to hold the information for a given conceptual vision of the data. The resulting dashboard is a work in progress, since I will add more features and datasets whenever possible. To mention that I do prefer the colours on my previous analytical posts (black background on the graphs), but for now the dashboard will have a white background since I’m concentrated on content and a little bit less on aesthetics. The dashboard requires no installation, but it does result to java script (so it must be enabled in order for it to work). Note: Screen shots show up with certain date information based on my local settings. If this works correctly, the actual Merit Dashboard should work based on your local setings... (dates and number formats, not captions). The dashboard has the following Tabs: 1. Global Summary:  Shows a summary of how merit is awarded, broken down by: - Week (Monday to Sunday- on previous analysis I may have used Sunday to Saturday since it’s the default in the software I use for data crunching). - Day of the Week. - Hour (UTC – This is not too important, but some merit awarding varies by date depending for example if the data is UTC, UTC-6 or UTC+6). - Weekly Ratios I’ve used before, including total aggregates at the top of the table. Since the data originated in the public merit.txt file is published on Friday mornings, the data to the most recent week is partial (lacking most of Friday, as well as Saturday and Sunday). The rest of the weeks are complete. We can see a clear weekly downtrend again since the end of April onwards after a light recovery in the last fortnight of April. We already knew that Thursday is the most merited day and that UTC 8-20h are the most merited hours of the day. New weekly users that receive Merit are around the 25%-27% area (so every week roughly one quarter of merited users are merited for the first time -> see %ToNew in the Weekly Ratios). 2. From/To Ranks Shows which ranks merit which ranks both in absolute value (number of awarded merits) and relative values (% of awarded merits per “from rank” to each “to rank”). This is similar to Which Ranks send sMerit to which Ranks - and who ranked up, but now updated. Comparing current data to the analysis above stated, we can see for example that: - Legendaries keep roughly the same awarding proportions overall as they had around end of march, being the most favourable movement increase for Jr. Members (4,37% -> 6,18%). - Heroes keep nearly the exact proportions as end of March. - Sr. Member have dropped their awarding rate to Sr. Members (23,15% -> 20,56%) and have moved the drop to Members (23,02%->24,46%) and Jr. Members (6,57%-> 7,28%). - Full members have dropped a bit on their ratio of awarding full members (31,74%->29,52%), moving the difference to Members (26,69% -> 29,57%). - Members awarding to Full Members has moved from 20,26% to 17,15%, being Members the most favoured increase (42,92%-> 47,07%). - Jr. Members now favour less Full Members than before (19,48% -> 14,01%), but increase the Newbies rank (4,22% -> 8,62%). All in all there are slight changes, but not too significant. Note that the rank is derived from the current user profile, and not at the time of actual awarding which may have been different (we cannot access the rank at time of awarding, so this is the next best thing we can use).3. Received Merit Shows the overall received Merit breaking it down by the Ranks that send it, month, specific date and user names along with the aggregate quantity they’ve sent. By default, the data shown is the overall merit, but you can filter by user name/s to delimit the view to a specific user set (i.e. filter by your own username to see the merit you received). 4. Sent Merit Shows the overall sent Merit breaking it down by the Ranks the merit has been sent to, month, specific date and user names along with the aggregate quantity they’ve received. By default, the data shown is the overall merit, but you can filter by user name/s to delimit the view to a specific user set (i.e. filter by your own username to see the merit you sent). 5. Ranked-up This gives us the amount of users that have ranked-up using the new merit system, indicating their starting rank and current rank. This is similar to what I’ve done before numerically in posts. To see a specific set it is easier to filter by (probable) initial rank and current rank. I’ve omitted including combinations relative to ranks that are not amongst the conventional ranks that need merit to rank-up. There are even some de-ranked cases (omitted), probably caused by purchasing an account and deleting the posts. 6. Ranking-up pipeline This gives us a global vision of how many users are depending on what (activity, merit, both) in order to rank-up. This only considers users that have been awarded Merit (in at least 1 Merit TX), not those that had a Merit airdrop and have not received any further Merit. This is similar to Stats on the Rank pipeline - How many are we on the way to ranking up? extensionComparing the above mentioned analysis (created during mid-April 2018) to current dashboard data, we can see that: - We’ve gone from 135 to 219 Heroes that could have ranked-up, but lack Merit. - We’ve gone from 297 to 444 Sr. Members that could have ranked-up, but lack Merit. - We’ve gone from 1.146 to 1.919 Full Members have not ranked-up due to lack of Merit (by contrast, those lacking both activity and merit have decreased 1.458 -> 911). - We’ve gone from 2.032 to 2.711 Members that could have ranked-up, but lack Merit. - We’ve gone from 1.914 to 2.460 Members that could have ranked-up, but lack Merit. In summary, merit is slowing down the ranking process (as we already knew), and candidates awaiting “just” to earn merits in order to rank-up are greater by number. 7. TXs. A list of all the Merit Transactions. The idea here is to filter by User From Name or User To name to see all Tx history for a given user/s. This can also be done on the Merit Network. 8. Merit Network This should contain and embedded link to Our very own sMerit Network Picture - enhanced with access to all sMerit TXs. Unfortunately, I can see the embedded webpage fine in development, but not once I view the published Merit Dashboard. Until I find a solution (if there is one, which I’m not too positive about), I’ve placed a button that takes us there. Dashboard Usage: Using the dashboard is pretty straight forward. It may be good to mention that: If you scroll down you’ll find a very useful toolbar that allows you to: - (<-) Undo if you apply a filter to the data and cannot revert easily to the previous unfiltered situation. - (-> )Redo. - (rectangle with a downward arrow) Save as image or pdf. - (rectangle) Full Screen. - (ESC) Exit Full Screen. Also, when applying a filter (for example in the Received Merit Tab), you can type in the name and press the plus sign to add the name to the filter (multiple names are allowed), or use the magnifier to search for all name that contain the typed string (and then select the desired names). To delete a filter you can hover over the filter value until a cross sign appears to delete the item, or use the undo arrow on the toolbar mentioned above.

1. Introduction.Lately, I’ve seen multiple posts that hint or openly state that sMerit is only been sent to our buddies/friends/¿alts?/same rank/”want merit back from” type of accounts. Is this true? When you open/read your (online) press during the day, just how many news sources do you actually consult? There are thousands of sources available, but we tend to read those that we enjoy most or are aligned to our views on matters. Once we work out what we like, we tend to make it a habit to read information from a fixed set of sources, and every now and then we may open-up to others and enlarge our circle. We could take this down a level and state that, within our favoured sources, only a certain amount of sections catch our interest, and within these, articles and columnists. I think that the above analogy applies to the Forum, were we move around certain sections that become of interest to us, there we favour reading certain topics, and we certainly get hooked to reading posts by specific users and favour their lecture, since we enjoy them, agree/disagree/agree to disagree with them, and ultimately find some interest to what they generally write. The above conforms our general habit factor, and also relates to our network size factor. It doesn’t mean that we don’t open up to more sources within the forum, but as time goes by the speed of assimilating new members to our network is bound to decrease. In many cases, our network expansion graph will probably look like a logarithmic function curve: Our network size grows quicker at the beginning, but tends to slow down (not stop) over time. Merit sources may be an exception. 2. First Approach: Merit sent by rank to rank.The first approach to resolve our initial question, about merit sent to buddies, would be to see how merit is being distributed from one rank to the other ranks. We saw this exercise done in the post Which Ranks send sMerit to which Ranks - and who ranked up . It’s true that the post is now two months old, but it proved that ranks were not solely concentrating on meriting their own rank or above, but were in fact very active meriting posts belonging to users with a lower rank. So users are not concentrated on meriting buddies on their own rank (or above), but are really of a broader nature. 3. Second Approach: Reciprocal MeritThis is the core of this exercise. If the opening statement were to be true, we should find that the vast majority of the users we send merit to also send us some back at some point (reciprocal), although in different quantities. If it is indeed true that we do send sMerit just to our buddies … 3.1 Global Reciprocal Information The data is to be interpreted as follows: Rank: Rank nUsers: Number of users in the Rank that have sent sMerit to another user. nUsersSent: Total number of users that the nUsers have sent sMerit to. nUsersSentReciprocal: Number of users out of nUsersSent that have also awarded the nUsers with sMerit over time. nUsersSentNonReciprocal: Number of users out of nUsersSent that have not been awarded back sMerit over time to the nUsers. nMeritSent: Total amount of sMerit that the nUsers have sent to the nUsersSent. nMeritSentReciprocal: Total sMerit sent to users that have awarded the nUsers with sMerit over time. nMeritSentNonReciprocal: Total sMerit sent to users that have not awarded the nUsers with sMerit over time. Network Size Reciprocal: % of our network that is merited and from whom we receive merit back at some point. Network Size Non-Reciprocal: % of our network that is merited and from whom we don't receive merit back at some point. Merit Sent Reciprocal: % of our sent sMerit that goes to reciprocal users. Merit Sent Non-Reciprocal: % of our sent sMerit that goes to non-reciprocal users. Notes:
1. By “meriting back” I am not implying that the merit is obtained by a prior merit event. The order of events is not analysed here, just the fact that, at some point in time, they have reciprocally merited each other.
2. What I’m counting here are transactions of the nature “User A sent to User B “ x sMerits, where User A is one of the nUsers and User B is one of the nUsersSent.
3. We could also do this exercise from the “Receivers” point of view, but I think it will complicate this even further so I have refrained from posting it.
What the above table shows us is that:a) On Average (but who is an average John Doe right?), we send sMerit to 17,14% of users of our network, who have at some point also awarded us with sMerit (reciprocal). Therefore, on average, 82,86% of the people we send sMerit to have not sent us any at any time. b) In terms of Total sMerit, we sent 24,13% on average to out reciprocal network, and therefore 75,87% of our awarded sMerit goes to people in our network who have not awarded us with sMerit. The above varies from rank to rank, but it goes to show that we tend to award way more to people that have not merited us at any time (non-reciprocal) yet that those who have (reciprocal). 3.2 Global Reciprocal Information – By Reciprocal Segment Being on the global scale, each rank is averaged, therefore withing this average there will be users that have all their sMerit in a network that is 100% reciprocal, all the way down to those that have a 0% reciprocal Network. I’ve broken it down in the above graph by 20% clusters. This means, for example, that there are 84 Sr. Members that have sent sMerit to people that at some point have all merited them back (100% reciprocal segment), 4 Sr. Members are in the situation of awarding merit to reciprocal users in the range of 80%..100% and so on. What we are not seeing simultaneously is how much sMerit we’re talking about in each case since I would need to break down each segment further an complicate matters further more. We can see that the vast majority of us are in the low quintal (0%..20%), and a fair share on the 100% value. These cases are the “fishy zone”, but are on the whole they are not very significant in terms of number of cases vs overall cases. 3.3 Global Reciprocal Information – By Reciprocal Segment and awarded sMerit Segment  The above is a break-down swapping Rank for sMerit Sent group. The average for the groups don’t differ too much from the global averages, although the [40..49] sMerits Sent group does stand out a bit more. We can also see the extremes differ too for obvious reasons: The [1] sMerit Sent group is the lowest reciprocal group of all, followed by the [500+] sMerits Sent group. 3.4 Top sMerit SendersI’ve done the exercise of grabbing the 50 sMerit Senders of all times, and these are their ratios: user_id name rank NuserSentReciprocalOverSent NMeritSentReciprocalOverSent

I’ve added a full list of uses with their ratios here: Bitcointalk Reciprocal aggregates by user 20180531. I came to the site in early January 2018, and had never had any prior knowledge about it nor it’s members. My ratios are therefore natural organic, with no influence to pre-merit kick-off relationships since I had none. My ratios are: user_id name rank NuserSentReciprocalOverSent NMeritSentReciprocalOverSent 1582324 DdmrDdmr Full Member 37% 58% What this means is that roughly 37% of the people I send sMerit to at some point have also sent it to me. That leaves a 63% that have not. In terms of sent Merit, 58% of what I send does go to those members that at some point merited me, but 42% doesn't. I'm also far away from the averages but I believe that my network size is decreasing in terms of groth speed, and thus I tend to merit more my current network. This seems natural to me and falls into the factors I stated in the introduction. In conclusion: in general people do not just sMerit their buddies as shown by the averages; far from it. It is true that one tend's to move in certain parts of the forum and reads certain topics that tend to be what one finds interesting. Those topics may have a larger presence of people that one merits and vice-versa over time, since the topics are of a common interest. I would consider normal 50% ratios without much of an issue.

1. IntroductionI’ve often seen the “size doesn’t matter” as opposed to “size does matter” used when talking about merited posts. I wondered if this was true, and to what degree (in this context). While being at it, I came across other overall merited post features that answered an initial set of questions I wanted to resolve (limited to sMerited posts): Q1) How often are user images included in posts? Q2) What about forum images (i.e. smilies, etc.)? Q3) How about quotes? Q4) Is the thread’s OP the main merited post in general? Q5) How many posts prior to Merit System kick-off have been merited, and how far back? Q6) How close does sMerit awarding occur in relation to the date of the post? Q7) The size one: What size do merited post have? The longer, the more sMerited? The information exposed here is done from the global Forum Merited Post’s angle. I’m sure that if we took this analysis down a level (forum Section/Subsection), the profiles would not all concur, but a general view is a good starting point, at least for now. Dataset baseline:Data as of 18/05/2018 (and around). Total Merited Post Base: 45.947 (non-deleted messages). I’ve decided to show the graphs and drop the data tables on this occasion for a more fluid lecture. I’ve also included extreme cases. These are, as they say, extreme cases, and should not take the focus of the core information shown on the graphs (they are kinky though..) Disclaimer: Getting hold of this information is unfortunately a pain, and trying to break it down even more due to the HTML tags and specially to the quotes (be them nested or standalone). After sometime, I believe I’ve managed to extract the text from the awarded messages pretty well, excluding the quoted text parts which I consider are part of the context to messages, but do not add “real length” to the message body (therefore I exclude them from the message length).
The algorithm still has some flaws when the post has many objects of different nature (quotes, tables, code, images, etc.). I’m not going to build a 100% robust parser now, since I consider that even a 95% correct cleanse of the post for word count is good enough at this stage.
Some local languages are more troublesome. For example, Chinese characters often do not have many spaces and therefore the word count can be erratic there. I have not excluded these posts as they are not too many and represent only a small noise in the overall picture.
Also references to urls are counted as a word.
So, all in all, this is a rather good approximation, but not a 100% exact one.2. User ImagesIt turns out that the majority, 88,58% of the awarded posts, do not have user images. 6,61% have only one, 1,43% have 2 images, and 3,38% have 3 or more images. Note: that I’m counting images here and cannot (nor wish to) retrieve information as to the actual image size. Some a large images with graphs and text, whilst others are mere icons.  Examples of the extreme cases are (most of the time the images do not all load even after refreshing the page): a) 170 images - A post from August 2015 (services) post awarded with 5 sMerits: Case 1b) 131 Images - A post from September 2017 (services) awarded with 27 sMerits: Case 2c) 118 Images - A post from March 2018 (mining - harware) awarded with 6 sMerits: Case 3d) 108 Images - A post from October 2017 (services) awarded with 9 sMerits: Case 4e) 106 Images - A post from September 2015 (mining support – small dog icons count) awarded with 1 sMerit: Case 52. Forum ImagesForum images are those icons such as emoticons that reference an address on the forum, and not an external link. 79,17% of awarded posts do not use any forum images, 13,53% use one, 7,31% use two or above. Emoticons are therefore not abused and seem to be kept at bay.  Examples of the extreme cases are: a) 83 forum images - A post from April 2018 (Economics Speculation) post awarded with 5 sMerits: Case 6 (I’ll skip a few now, since the same author has the top 8 cases in the same forum area). b) 30 forum images - A post from February 2018 (Altcoin Discussion) post awarded with 1 sMerit: Case 7 (It looks like there are more than 30, but some are ascii characters). c) 27 forum images - A post from January 2018 (Economics Speculation) post awarded with 1 sMerit: Case 8d) 24 forum images - A post from February 2018 (Italian Trading) post awarded with 1 sMerits: Case 9e) 21 forum images - A post from April 2018 (Spanish) post awarded with 2 sMerits: Case 103. QuotesQuotes are on the other hand a heavily used feature: 54,59% of the awarded posts, do not use quotes, but the remaining 45,41% do. 3,1% use 5 or more quotes.  Examples of the extreme cases are: a) 290 quotes! - A post from April 2014 (Altcoin Discussion) post awarded with 7 sMerits: Case 11b) 84 quotes - A post from April 2018 (Meta) post awarded with 9 sMerits: Case 12c) 55 quotes - A post from February 2018 (Marketplace Gambling) post awarded with 2 sMerits (heavily nested quotes): case 13d) 52 quotes - A post from May 2018 (Meta) post awarded with 2 sMerits (by me!): Case 14e) 50 quotes - A post from March 2018 (Indonesian) post awarded with 2 sMerits: Case 154. Post NumberThis one really startled me: 32,58% of merited posts are on mega threads (which I tend to ignore altogether), 40,31% if we count post position 201 onwards. Wow! This happens especially in Ann sections and Economy (The Wall Observer is the extreme case). 15% of awarded posts are Ops, but if we add up to post number 20 (which is the first page of a thread) , we get 40,21% of awarded posts. This graph actually does look like a crypto wall:  Examples of the extreme cases are: a) Post Nº 409230- A post from May 2018 (Economics Speculation) post awarded with 2 sMerits: Case 16 (There are a trillion in the same section/subsection). b) Post Nº 10049 - A post from May 2018 (Ann Altcoin) post awarded with 40 sMerits: Case 17c) Post Nº 10018- A post from January 2018 (Russian) post awarded with 47 sMerits: Case 18d) Post Nº 9324- A post from April 2018 (Ann Altcoin) post awarded with 50 sMerits: Case 19e) Post Nº 8912- A post from January 2018 (Ann Altcoin) post awarded with 50 sMerits: Case 205. Post DateI thought there would be many more posts awarded sMerit from the days prior to the Merit System kick-off (since I has seen many cases when performing previous analytical tasks), but there really are not that many. If we consider that the system started in late February 2018, getting sMerit on posts back to January 2018 is pretty normal. All in all, 93,89% of awarded posts are 2018 posts, 4,52% are 2017 posts and only 1,59% are posts from 2016. In terms of proportion, old awarded posts are outliers in the overall scheme of things.  Examples of the extreme cases are: a) A post from November 2009 (Bitcoin Discussion – Satoshi’s welcome post) post awarded with 751 sMerits: Case 21 (The oldest 5 awarded posts are all Satoshi’s) b) A post from January 2010 (Economy - Marketplace) post awarded with 1 sMerit: Case 22c) A post from January 2010 (Economy - Marketplace) post awarded with 1 sMerit: Case 23d) A post from January 2010 (Economy - Marketplace) post awarded with 1 sMerit: Case 24e) A post from May 2010 (Economy – Marketplace -> Pizza case) post awarded with 132 sMerit: Case 256. Time between Publishing and MeritingI really wanted to see this one. It seems that 13,73% are merited within the first hour after posting, and another 10,05% within the second hour. On a day scale, 56,50% of sMerit awarding occurs within the first 24 hours after posting, and an additional 20,47% gets awarded before the posts reaches an age of a tender week. Even so, 23,03% get awarded after two weeks or more since the post was published.  Note: time should be interpreted as “within the” (within the 1 (first) hour, within the second hour and so on). Also data represents number of Merit Txs, not number of posts. Examples of the extreme cases are: The first are all Satoshi’s posts as seen above, so I’ll give them a skip now in the examples. a) 71222 hours: A post from March 2010 (Economy Marketplace -> must see: 10k bitcoins for 50$ and no one bought them) , awarded with 2 sMerits: Case 26b) 70708 hours: A post from February 2010 (Economy Marketplace) , awarded with 1 sMerit: Case 27c) 69941 hours: A post from February 2010 (Economics) , awarded with 2 sMerits: Case 28d) 59227 hours: A post from July 2011 (Bitcoin Development and Technical Discussion) , awarded with 19 sMerits: Case 29e) 2256 hours: A post from February 2018 (Altcoin Discussion) , awarded with 105 sMerits: Case 307.Post lengthI’m measuring post length in words, and clustering them into groups of 100. As I’ve stated before, this part is not perfect since for example URLs get counted as words, no spaces after a full stop may cause in correct exact count, some html tags are a bother, etc. Quoted text has been removed. On the whole, grouping posts in groups of 100, the data is pretty accurate and way better than no data at all. It turns out that 65,07% of the sMerited posts have less than 100 words, another 18,41% have between 100 and 200 words, 6,45% between 200 and 300 words, 3,24% have between 300 and 400 words, and only 6,82% are above the 400 word barrier (somewhere near a word page in size). I was also interested to see if longer posts get more merited, and it seems so. Looking at the graphs, there’s hardly any difference between posts with up to 100 words (avg. 2,79 sMerits) and post with up to 200 words (avg. 2,76 sMerits), but it does build up from there. The larger the Word Group the less posts there are of the kind, so the less conclusive the related awarded sMerits become. Nevertheless, the conclusion is not “go and create larger posts”, since the content is what makes the difference in these cases and not the post size per se (and content analysis is another world).  Note: ‘Words’ should be interpreted as within the group of x hundred words (so on the graph, ‘0’ represents between 0 and 99 words, a ‘1’ between 100 and 199 words, and so on). Examples of the extreme cases are (MS Word and my algorithm don’t always agree on word count due to elements before pointed out): a) 10.159 words: A post from December 2014 (Altcoin Discussion) , awarded with 20 sMerits: Case 31b) 8.204 words: A post from March 2018 (Bitcoin Discussion) , awarded with 6 sMerits: Case 32c) 1 word: A post from February 2018 (Economics Speculation) , awarded with 25 sMerits (for a full stop -> probably deleted text): Case 33d) 1 word: A post from April 2018 (French) , awarded with 50 sMerits (a crypto address): Case 34e) 0 word: A post from March 2018 (Russian) , awarded with 1 sMerits (quotes): Case 35f) 0 word: A post from February 2018 (Economics, Speculation) , awarded with 14 sMerits (image): Case 36

Edit 19/06/2018:Added this information to the Merit Dashboard (Link: BitcoinTalk Merit Dashboard), under tab "Potential Merit Sources" so as to allow for a dynamic periodical update of the data, as well as to apply filters to it with recalculation of the ratios (by section/subsection, date period or specific user). Data on dashboard is up to friday 15/06/2018. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. IntroductionWe’ve seen various post related to the Merit Network, both from a user’s perpective ( Our very own sMerit Network Picture) and from a global perspective (sncc's Merit network analysis: merit rank distribution and satellites). The question of how to derive the potential sMerit Sources has come up recurrently, so I thought about digging into the data to see how this could be determined, or at least eased. The basic principal that I’m using is that potential users should have a track of sMerit awarding in their history. I think that the best criteria is determined by the size of the personal outgoing sMerit Network. That is, the number of distinct users that a certain user has awarded with sMerit over time. The hypothesis behind is that the more users that one has merited, the better knowledge he has of the underlying principles. The amount awarded is secondary in this case, but also a factor to narrow down candidates. This can be done from: a) A Global perspective: Aggregating all the data for a given user. b) A Section/Subsection perspective: Aggregating the data for a given user in a specific section/subsection. The numbers presented are those that I found, based on the snapshot of data collected 10 days ago (and aligned with the data presented in Forum Metrics - Section/subsection sMerit breakdown.). Since I do not know who the exact 79 sMerit Sources are, I have not taken them off the analysis. Logically, the current sMerit Sources should come up in the data right at the top in most cases. In addition to determining potential candidates for Merit Sources based on the above criteria, Merit Sources could be added by including moderators to that role, since they are already scouting the forum and parsing posts daily. It depends on whether they consider they can perform this additional task along side current tasks. This idea was nicely suggested by seoincorporation in other posts. In all cases, the candidates need to be manually screened, and vetoed if necessary (tracking DT, checking merited posts, etc.). In addition, I’d like to mention that determining the potential sMerit Sources comes in second place to determining where these sMerit Sources should develop their activity. Determining where there is a lack of sMerit Sources, in my opinion, derives from knowing how much sMerit is being given in a given section/subsection, and getting a measure of how many posts go unmerited, all in a given timeframe. The deficit can then covered by placing sMerit sources at work in those areas. The idea here is to be able to detect potential sMerit Source candidates, not to determine in this exercise where exactly they need to be active since that requires other input variables like I said. 2. Global PerspectiveFrom a global perspective, this is the distribution of the size of the outgoing sMerit Network for all users with at least 1 sMerit sent over their history:  We can see that 26 people have sent sMerit to over 100 distinct users each, 4 people to between 90 and 100 users, and so on. Only 6,63% of the users have a network with 10 or more awarded users. On the other extreme, a mass of 7.335 people have sent sMerit to only one user, representing 54,61% of all total sMerit awarders. I think that this last data is a low key tone in the system (more than half of awarders only awarded one user). Obviously this is related to the amount of sMerit available, but from the big picture’s point of view it doesn’t look great. So from a global point of view, the users that are candidates to being sMerit Sources would be (again, sMerit Sources will probably be on the lists at the top): (note: top 100 sMerit network size are provided in this list. Full list in a more user friendly format can be retrieved here: Google Drive sMerit Outgoing Network 20180516) The idea would be to scout the users on the list in a top down manner, favouring network size, but also using the complementary provided fields as filter criteria. Provided columns are: User_from: User_id Name: User alias Rank: User rank (as of data extraction) nSentTo: Network size. Number of distinct users that user_from has sent sMerit to. sMeritSent: aggregate sMerit sent by the user. nTx: Number of sMerit Transactions. avgSent: Average sMerit sent per Transaction. stdDevSent: Standard Deviation of sent sMerits. cVarSent: Coefficient of Variation (the smaller, the more constant value of merit awarded by the user) user_from name rank nSentTo sMeritSent nTx avgSent stdDevSent cVarSent NetworkGroup

comes at the top of the list, having the biggest outgoing sMerit network in the whole Forum (as of date of data extraction). He has an outgoing network of 403 distinct users, having awarded them 1087 sMerits over 738 Transactions. The average per Transaction is of 1,47 sMerits, although the awarding has a variance of 1,1 sMerits giving us a Coefficient of Variation of 74%. Paxmao is next in line, with an outgoing network of 363 distinct users, having awarded them 571 sMerits over 519 Transactions. The average per Transaction is of 1,1 sMerits, with a variance of 0,39 sMerits giving us a Coefficient of Variation of 35%. This means that Paxmao tends to award an amount of sMerit nearer to his average than Suchmoon. This is neither good nor bad, but the Coefficient of Variation could be meaningful in some scenarios in general. And so on.. 2. Section/Subsection PerspectiveA section/subsection perspective allows us to see the same output of information as above, but filtered specifically to the section/subsection being analysed (aggregates of data are only those related to the specific section/subsection being treated). The graphs themselves are not too enlightening, but the data table at the base shows us the goodies. I'll spare the visual pain of seeing local scrolling lists here, but all the data charted can be retrieved from the full list here (second tab) : Google Drive sMerit Outgoing Network 20180516) 2.1. Alternate Cryptocurrencies Vapourminer has the largest outward sMerit Network, with 64 Users in his network on the Mining Altcoins board. If we needed sMerit sources on the Mining (Altcoin) section/subsection, there are 11 candidates with an outward sMerit Network greater or equal to 10 users, so finding one there is difficult due to lack of candidates. Nevertheless, perhaps candidates with a smaller network in the section/subsection, but a large overall one could be shifted to Merit here as a source. All other sections/subsections are similar except for Ann Altcoins, where there are 45 candidates with a network above 10 users. 2.2. Bitcoin Project Development has only two native candidates, since all the remaining users have a network that is less or equal to 6 users. Bitcoin Technical Support is also rather scarce, with only 10 candidates with a network greater o equal to 10 users. Mining has one more candidate above this threshold. Development & Technical Discussion and Bitcoin Discussion are better off with easy two digit network candidates. 2.3. Economy Trading Discussion is a bit scarce, but holds 18 candidates with a network greater or equal to 10 users. Marketplace and economics have plenty of candidates above the 10 user network threshold. 2.4. Other Meta seems well served with candidates. Beginners & Help has just over a dozen above the 10 user network threshold. On the other hand, politics & Society, and off-topic are rather scarce with candidates, with less than a handful at most. Archival and Serious Discussion probably don’t need candidates. 2.5. Local Boards Half the Local boards are a sore sight in terms of candidates. Moving the minimum size threshold further down gives more options, but lower than a network size of 7 or 8 is maybe dangerous terrain due to farms. Russian, Turkish, Indonesian and Turkish local boards seem to have enough candidates if needed. Some seem impossible using a sMerit Network criteria, such as the Indian board. If it’s moderated, perhaps the mod could do this job too.

I have created a word cloud for 9 section/subsections selected at my discretion, using the Topic names only, for the most recent 200 Topics in each of these exercises. Topics get moved around often, so the actual words could change from hour to hour really, but it's not a bad starting point for this analysis. The idea is to see which are the most trending words in each and see if there are any surprises at all. 1. Bitcoin Discussion The word Bitcoin rules by far in this section (fortunately), but check out market players: Bill, Gates, Sach, Warren. Government and banks are on the list too ... 2. Development & Technical Discussion Bitcoin, Network, Blockchain, Lightning, Transaction and Help are at the top. 3. Economics Bitcoin rules again, followed by cryptocurrency, crypto, blockchain, money and price. 4. Marketplace Bitcoin, followed by crypto, cryptocurrency, mining, bittrex, bitfinex, market, binance.. and bots! 5. Meta Merit (no surprise) rules along side account; forum and hacked follow. I didn't see Sir, but maybe Please is replacing it .. 6. Beginners & Help Beginners is all about bitcoin.. and bounty .. 7. Altcoin Discussion Etherum/ETH are the main focus in detriment of Bitcoin. Regret is pretty large .. 8. Trading Discussion Trading is the center. think and strategy are there, but so are fud and dump (I guess the meaning is not what i'm thinking in this case).. 9. Bounty Altcoins Bounty is the obvious center, followed by Airdrop, Blockchain, Tokens, Campaign, Reward/Rewards (which, if aggregated, would be near the size of Bounty). Icons are a large active to the word cloud too. Note: The tool I used eliminates numbers (which in this case is good because page numbers would otherwise show up in the word cloud) and dollar signs amongst others, so $ is not shown.. |

In previous posts we got a look at what our sMerit Network looks like ( Our very own sMerit Network Picture ), and our Trust Network ( A picture of what our Trust/Distrust Network looks like), but I missed being able to visually see and play around with a a graphical representation of the boards we interact with in terms of sMerit, thus this tool. The tool is interactive, and allows us to play around with the filters to get different graphical views on the data and relations. Having clear areas of improvement, it does allow us to play around and filter the data to get different views, and may show us information that we were not aware of. The data represented is updated from the latest sMerit-txt file released on the 04 of may 2018. You can play around with the data using the following this links: Sender's view: https://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?docid=1EV5QBsXd44V1Hke8GeYTPHTXP6O66Ir8pyCUanhvReceiver's view: https://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?docid=1G3KVZtEEhsYd1OiPuNvEvhr8OEfqfAqShySc9igiPlaying around with the filters gives you different options of output. Note: The tools only allows one data table to be loaded, so I had to break it into two different links on this occasion as shown above, since the aggregated data I used had different grouping semantics.1. Examples of output:a) Who awards sMerit to the Spanish Local Forum:In this example, I used the first link to access the tool, and then filtered by Spanish [Local] Section/Subsection. The results shows 78 nodes: 1 is the board (in orange) and the remaining 77 are the users that have sent sMerit to the local Spanish Board. The bigger the size of the node, the larger the amount of sMerit sent. Paxmao stands out as the biggest contributor to the Spanish Local Board, with a second layer formed by EcuaMobi, MA40, solosequenosenada, foroplus, aleix, cigaLeider, VictorGT, Gothorum, freemind1, Frinky, and Vingaard.  b) Who awards above 30 sMerits To Meta:This example uses the first link to access the tool, and then filters by Meta [Other] Section/Subsection and an additional filter to restrict graph to users that have awarded >= 30 sMerits to Meta. The results shows 92 nodes: 1 is the board (in orange) and the remaining 91 are the users that have sent >= 30 sMerits to Meta. Tman and Vod stand out as those with higher awarding of sMerits to this section.  c) Which Sections/Subsections do I award sMerit to:This example uses the first link to access the tool, and then filters only by FromUserName. The results shows 8 nodes: 1 is me (in blue) and the remaining 7 are the Section/Subsections I’ve awarded sMerit to. Null represents cases of deleted messages. I seem to favour Meta, followed by Spanish [Local] and Beginners & Help.  d) Which Sections/Subsections sMerit which users with over 100 sMerits:This example now uses the second link to access the tool, and then filters only by sMerit >= 100. The results shows 164 nodes: 22 are the section/subsections and the remaining 142 are the users awarded with >= 100 sMerits in those sections (in 1 or n transactions). Some items do not show name of the graph, but they would if using the tool and zooming-in. Meta, Ann Altcoin, Russian, Economics and Turkish have the largest network with over 100 sMerits awarded by the section/subsection. Theymos is the most awarded judging by the size of the node. There are also a few exceptions that get awarded over 100 sMerits on multiple boards: Satoshi (Bitcoin Discussion and Development & Technical Discussion), Nullius (Development & Technical Discussion + Meta), RichDaniel (Marketplace and ALT Announcements).  e) Which users have been awarded sMerit on the Spanish Local board:This example uses the second link to access the tool, and then filters only by Spanish [Local] section/subsection. The results shows 172 nodes: 1 is the section/subsections and the remaining 171 are the users awarded with at least 1 sMerit in this local board (in 1 or n transactions). Gothorum, solosequenosenada and MA40 are the most Merited on this local board.  f) Which Section/Subsections have awarded me with sMerit:This example uses the second link to access the tool, and then filters only by ToUserName. The results shows 5 nodes: 1 is me and the remaining 4 are the users Sections/Subsections I’ve got my sMerit from. Meta is clearly my main source, followed by Spanish Local, and at a distance by Beginners & Help and Bitcoin Discussion. If you drag down the three dotted lever above the graph, you gain access to de data behind the scenes.  2. Tool specifics:In order to apply a filter: - Click the Filter dropdown box. - Select the field names you want to filter by (a filter should be now visible on the left side of the screen). Multiple filters are allowed. - On the filter you can now type the filter values. Multiple items are allowed. - Press Find: * Filter should be applied and the image limited to the filtered values. * You can adjust the image size and move it around. * There’s an irritating thing (that seems to be a bug) that often happens: Not all nodes are shown by default, so you need to increase the nodes in the box above the image (I normally just retype the upper limit of nodes shown by the node box). * Sometimes, to filter again it's easier to delete the filter and restart the process. |

1. IntroductionThis week alone there have been various threads on the topic of deleted posts, and how that could be hiding merit abuse or even be a lead to account farming, since scammers will now likely award merit and then try to delete their tracks by deleting the implied posts. We cannot get access to the actual deleted posts (only their message Id), nor the reason the post was deleted (by mod/by user, specific reason). Even so, we can perform a rather interesting analysis of the sMerit transactions and forum users that are involved in deleted posts overall, thus this analysis. Bare in mind that any user on the lists later provided are by no means automatically to be considered merit abusers or account farmers. Post get deleted for all sorts of reasons so it’s not that difficult to come up on any list of the kind, especially for users that award often multiple posts. When it gets interesting though is when there are cases that are of the following nature: - Users that have sent a large quantity of sMerit to posts that were deleted. - Users that have received a large quantity of sMerit to posts that were deleted. Where quantity could be taken as the absolute number of sMerits sent or received to later deleted posts, or the percentage deleted sMerited posts vs non deleted posts of the user. The dataset for this analysis is the same used in my post on Forum Metrics - Section/subsection sMerit breakdown. 2. Overall Accumulative of sMerit on Deleted PostThe overall amount of sMerit that has been awarded is 145.572. Of that, 5,16% has been awarded to posts that were later deleted, adding up to 7.514 sMerits. These are not reverted as we know from user’s merit balance, and not being a great amount overall, the do constitute a fair share of “untraceable” sMerit awarding.  3. Rank of users that have sent sMerit to (later) deleted posts
The following is a breakdown by forum rank of all sMerit sent to a post that was later deleted.  The data shows that Sr. Members accumulate the majority of sMerit awarded to deleted posts (24,65% of the total sMerit on deleted posts). Legendary, Hero and Full members are behind with roughly 18% each overall. 4. Rank of users that have received sMerit in (later) deleted postsThe following is a breakdown by forum rank of all sMerit received by a post that was later deleted.  The data shows that data is shifted down a rank layer from Senders. Members are the most awarded on deleted posts (30,62% of sMerit awarded to deleted posts), followed by Full Members (23,17%) and Sr. Members (16,50%). The above data cannot be taken verbatim though, since the rank shows current user rank, and not rank when awarded the sMerit on the later deleted post. For example, Jr. Members with enough activity to become Members may have been awarded sMerit on these posts and therefore ranked up. The data shows them as Members since that is their current rank. 5. Percentage of user sMerit awarded to deleted posts vs Total awardedThis is an interesting view. It tell us what percentage of a user’s total sMerit awarding actually ended up on deleted posts.  I’ve aggregated the data for all the users, so the row labels tell us how many users have awarded between 0% and 10% of their sMerit to later deleted posts, between 10% and 20%, and so on up to 100%. It turns out that 492 users have awarded their sMerit to later deleted posts, and to no other posts. Of course, within this data there a simple cases. For example, users that have awarded only 1 sMerit (and no more) to a post, that later got deleted. On the other hand, there are extreme users that have awarded 82 sMerits, all to posts that later got deleted. Now the vast majority have only a few sMerits involved in deleted posts. To get a better focus, I’ve redone the above graph but placing the condition that deleted posts for the user must sum up to at least 10 sMerit.  As an example, these are the 107 users that have at least 10 sMerits awarded to deleted posts, being the % DeletedOverSent>= 30% (additional condition I’ve added): user_id name rank nUsersTo sMeritTotalSent sMeritDeleted nTxDeleted %DeletedOverSent URL

The weirdest case here is xandry, a staff member with 59,26% DeletedOverSent sMerit ratio, but highest value in absolute terms (288 sMerits in deleted posts). Should be a false positive right? Note: I’ve preferred to see the overall sMerit sent to later deleted posts by Sender, and not by the pair Sender/Receiver, since I think it shows better shows what we intend here. The list is ordered by DeletedOverSent descending. Additional Note: As usual, I can't master this editor to give me a properly aligned list.6. Percentage of user sMerit received on deleted posts vs Total receivedLikewise, this is the same as above but from the Receiver’s point of view.  To get a better focus, I’ve redone the above graph but placing the condition that deleted posts for the user must sum up to at least 10 sMerit.  As an example, these are the 131 users that have at least 10 sMerits awarded to deleted posts, being the % DeletedOverReceived >= 30%. user_id name rank nUsersFrom sMeritTotalReceived sMeritDeleted nTxDeleted %DeletedOverReceived URL

It is if one wants to track down merit abusers or account farmers. A good starting point is by going over the above narrowed down lists. I’ve taken a look and some are definitively fishy, some are already tagged, and others seem probably ok based on what we can see on the profiles (bearing in mind that we can’t see the actual deleted posts). If even a lower two digit percentage of the lists were true bad sMerit usage cases, then I would consider that a good ratio, although lists are small in total volume. Nevertheless, there will be plenty of false positives and that can only be narrowed down with a one per one look at each specific case. The lists could be lengthier, by lowering the 10 sMerit requirement on deleted posts that I’ve placed, but the lower this parameter the more false positives well encounter. Also the lower the %DeletedOverReceived value, the more false positives we’ll get too.

En la sección en Español del foro nos solemos perder bastante los debates que se dan en la sección inglesa sobre aspectos relacionados con el Foro en sí. Dada la transcendencia del Sistema de Méritos en relación a los rangos de los usuarios del foro desde enero 2018, he creído conveniente presentar aquí un extracto de la estadística que he creado, con un análisis del número de sMéritos otorgado en cada Sección/Subsección del Foro. Al estar en la sección en español, he elegido las gráficas que hacen referencia a las subsecciones específicas por idiomas. En los datos se aprecia que la subsección en español ha recibido un total de 828 sMéritos desde la puesta en marcha del sistema a finales de enero 2018, siendo 171 los usuarios distintos receptores de ellos hasta el momento. Esto supone el 0,57% del total de sMéritos otorgados en la totalidad del Foro (peccata minuta).  La segunda gráfica desgrana semanalmente los sMéritos otorgados por idioma local. En el caso del español, se desgranan los 828 sMéritos antes citados. Cada fecha de la gráfica se corresponde con el primer día de la semana, y el dato mostrado es el acumulado de la semana entera de lunes a domingo). Podemos ver que, en nuestro caso, estamos entre los 27 y los 52 sMéritos por semana a lo largo del último mes.  Nota: La última semana (30/04/18) es parcial, pues aún queda el fin de semana para que se complete. Creo que es interesante ver estos datos, para saber cómo estamos posicionados como foro local en el plano de los sMéritos. Muchos no parecen, pero hay foros locales mucho peores… En todo caso, los números pueden llevar a engaño, dado que lo justo sería ponderar los datos con el número de posts realizados en los distintos periodos de tiempo. No obstante, este análisis es complejo y de entrada requiere disponer de datos base de los cuales se carece públicamente. El análisis completo lo podeis ver en el siguiente enlace: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3531472.msg36287248#msg36287248 |

0. Introduction:The Merit System has been around for 15 weeks now. The overall sMerit awarded in each section/subsection is a good indicator of what has been going on, but I wanted to go in a bit deeper and see how it evolved over the weeks, so that we could also see it from a time perspective in addition to an aggregate by forum/subforum. This information has its base in the merit.txt file released today, so it is as up-to-date as can be. The general idea is to allow us to look at the data and gain insights on sMerit distribution. The conclusion should not be 'post wherever most sMerit is being awarded, since chances are higher'. If that were so, users should hang around Altcoin Ann or learn Russian (spoiler). This is not a game of placing your horse where there are better odds, but rather breeding your horse to compete at a higher level. Post placement is only a small part of the equation, but the overall idea should be that of bringing something of value to the table, let’s not keep that out of sight. This analysis shows “what” is happening in terms of sMerit awarding, but cannot go into the “why” it is being done as it is, since many more variables would need to be considered that are not available. Besides, subjectivity plays a fundamental role in sMerit awarding, and that is extremely difficult to analyse. Warning: The post is long, so do not proceed if you suffer from viewing multiple graphical statistics, or severe headaches due to the presence of tables crowded with crunched numbers.Note: Numbers are in my local format, so '.' acts as a thousand separator and ',' for decimals.1. Overall Accumulative per WeekAs a reference, I’ve included a weekly overall breakdown of sMerit awarded in the Forum. We know there has been a steep fall overtime, but recent weeks seem to be stabilizing in the 4,5-5K sMerits per week area. Current week is partial, since we’ve still got the weekend to go to complete the week.  2. Overall Accumulative per forum sectionThe overall amount of sMerit that has been awarded is 145.572. The most awarded section is the cumulative of Local Boards (32,71%) which I will break-down further ahead, being the least awarded section Bitcoin of all (8,93%). There is an additional 5,16% that has been awarded to posts that were later deleted, adding up to 7.514 sMerits. These are not reverted as we know from user’s merit balance, and not being a great amount overall, the do constitute a fair share of “untraceable” sMerit awarding.  3. Weekly evolution per sectionI wanted to see if there was a shift of the share of total sMerit that each Forum Section was receiving over time, and if there was a trend. To follow this up, I’ve broken-down each section by the % of Global sMerit that each main Forum Section has received per week. Notice that the graphs show the share of overall weekly sMerit assigned to each section, but the table with the data also gives us the weekly detailed aggregates. Tables show a clear weekly descent in sMerit assigned to every section. I have grouped data by weeks (Monday to Sunday), therefore the last week is incomplete (first week too really, but is was exceptionally high in terms of sMerit awarding) since file is normally generated on Thursdays/Fridays. I've put a different colour on this week’s bar to indicate this fact. Note: Do not confuse Share of Weekly Total sMerit with the Total amount of sMerit being awarded in a given Forum Section. 3.1 Alternate CryptocurrenciesThis forum section has a slight weekly upward trend in terms of share of sMerit, with a couple of ups and downs, perhaps ICO launching related.  3.2 BitcoinThis forum section has a rather steep weekly upward trend in terms of share of sMerit, but is rather variable week to week.  3.3 Deleted PostsNot being a section per-se, there is an acute downward trend of merited posts that get deleted. This could be deceiving though, since it probably takes a few weeks for deletions to occur in its full extension (so most recent weeks will probably be affected over the following weeks).  3.4 EconomyThis forum section has a slight weekly upward trend in terms of share of sMerit, with a large variation recently.  3.5 LocalThis forum section has a rather steep downward weekly trend in terms of share of sMerit. Full breakdown further ahead.  3.6 OtherThis forum section has a slow descending weekly trend in terms of share of sMerit.  4. Overall Accumulative per forum subsectionForum Sections are made up from by various subsections, so in order to get a clearer vision we need to get a drilled-down view of aggregates per forum subsections to see the composition of a specific forum section. Each section has three sets of data: - A summarized table - A graph (left) that shows the share of sMerit for the Subsection within the Section. - A graph (right) that shows the share of sMerit for the Subsection in the overall total sMerit aggregate frame. 4.1 Alternate CryptocurrenciesAnnouncement (Altcoins) rules here, with a 56,27% share of the Forum Section and is one of the leading overall sMerited sections (13,52% of total Forum sMerit). Mining and Speculation are rather measly in comparison: nearly 10 times less.  4.2 BitcoinBitcoin Discussion is the boss in its Forum Section (55,79%) and sums up 4,98% of the Total Forum sMerit. This should be a nice section to read, but from my personal view, it´s rather full of spam in mega-threads that make it rather cumbersome.  4.3 Deleted PostsCan’t say too much here, but the aggregate is just above what actually gets awarded to the BitCoin Discussion subsection, so specific weight of deleted posts is noticeable. We cannot see where the deleted topics were originally placed to get deeper insights here.  4.4 EconomyEconomics (46,61%) takes the lead here over Marketplace (38,69%), both being noticeable in the overall Forum Share too.  4.5 LocalShare is extremely fragmented based on which Local board we’re considering. The Russian board is clearly the leader here (38,11%) and is very important in the overall Forum picture (12,47%). With 20 local board (and an Other Languages subsection), only Russian, Turkish, Indonesian and German boards have a share above the share mean. The vast majority have a less than 1% Local Board share, and are nearly vanished from the Global Forum sMerit share’s perspective. 4.6 OtherMeta (70,90%) rules in the Other Forum Section, whilst the Beginner’s section trails along in second place with only 11,55%. This is obviously correlated to the profile of the posters in each of these sections.  4.7 Overall Forum/Subforum shareThis is one of my favourite views, and it may help discover where there is a lack of Merit Sources. Nevertheless, that depends on other factors that I cannot combine here due to lack of information to cross. Ideally, this graph should be contrasted with the number of posts in each section/subsection since sMerit Kickoff (there is more than meets the eye to do this, and it would have some other sub-issues that would need to be considered), and also with a “quality” measure of some kind. For example, a local language board may seem to be very scarcely merited, but without comparing to number of posts, and out of them those with a good standard, we would be jumping to conclusions just based on one of the variables of a multivariable-based problem.  5. Breakdown of sMerit by SubsectionI wanted to include a detailed breakdown of sMerit awarded per Subsection and per week. I did this specifically because I wanted to track the results on my local board, but then saw that this could be useful for general use, so I decided to extend it to all section/subsections. The general weekly sMerit trend we know is descending, but this help us to figure out where and just how much the descending trend goes on a weekly basis. I will not place specific comments here, since they should be based on readers section/subsection preferences. Note: If you’ve got down to these charts, you’ll probably find them to be more interesting than all the above due to the degree of detail on the data tables.5.1 Alternate Cryptocurrencies 5.2 Bitcoin 5.3 Deleted Posts 5.4 Economy 5.5 Local5.6 Other

En España también se intenta entrar en el terreno de la computación cuántica y, por lo menos, estar en la onda de lo que veremos a medio plazo. El proyecto Quilimanjaro ( https://qilimanjaro.io) se ha puesto como meta crear el primer (modesto) ordenador cuántico en España. Más allá de su complejidad, se estima que son necesarios 6,5 millones de euros para su confección como prototipo comercial. La financiación pública por ahora ha cubierto la fase de estudio, pero el prototipado es otro cantar y requiere de inversiones millonarias que precisan financiación privada. La idea es que la ICO de Quilimanjaro cree un token ERC-20 llamado QBIT, el cual ha de servir para que el poseedor pueda hacer uso del tiempo del ordenador cuántico en el futuro, junto con servicios de asistencia en su uso y desarrollo de algoritmos. El proyecto prevé poder llegar a los 50 qubits para el año 2022 y 100 qubits un año más tarde. Por hacernos una idea, IBM tiene por objetivo los 50 qubits para este año (2018) y Google va por el mismo camino, luego estas empresas ya están donde el proyecto español quiere estar de aquí a cuatro años … La ICO está en marcha, con la fase de preventa privada, y está planificado que se abra al público en general en breve. Según su whitepaper, el softcap de la ICO es de 8 millones de euros, siendo el hardcap de 20,3 millones de euros. Claro que el ámbito de la competencia es enorme. La Unión Europea ha establecido un presupuesto de 1.000 millones de euros para el proyecto FET Flagship on Quantum Technologies con el fin de, durante los próximos 10 años, realizar I+D en el ámbito cuántico. La universidad de Shanghái por su lado ha invertido unos 8.000 millones de euros en su centro de supercomputación cuántica, y así suma y sigue la lista entre iniciativas gubernamentales y privadas. La carrera está en marcha y como siempre muchos se quedarán por el camino. El proyecto Quilimanjaro si bien es interesante, tiene difícil camino ante la competencia que empieza a haber entre países y empresas privadas que invierten ahora dinero en cifras mucho más elevadas que el proyecto español. Dinero equivale a recursos humanos y técnicos, por lo que me temo que el proyecto español, cuando vea la luz, se verá adelantado por todos lados bajo un prisma global. No obstante, está bien atreverse y, por lo menos el equipo tendrá un activo singular y codiciado en su curriculum. Luego vendrá la carrera por cambiar los algoritmos de cifrado de banca, de las criptomonedas, etc., algoritmos que será vulnerables ante la potencia cuántica que nos viene. Esperemos que avance cuántico y seguridad se coordinen adecuadamente para ir de la mano sin sobresaltos… Podéis ver el artículo base aquí: https://www.elconfidencial.com/tecnologia/2018-05-01/ordenador-cuantico-espanol-quilimanjaro_1557163 |

Digaran got me going on this one, asking what could be done to see trust relationships visually. I hadn't given much though to Trust before personally, although I do look at the figures if they stand out in the User Profile. The Trust.txt file that is made public by themos, and contains the equivalent to our Hierarchical View of Trust, visible here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;full (takes a few minutes to build the complete list). There is no other information such as feedback or comments in the file, so the derived information is rather simple, but graphical. Note that only forum users with trust or distrust are included in the file, and thus in the provided tool. You can play around with the data using the following this link: Trust NetworkSince I have no Trust/Distrust information associated to my profile, I've taken the liberty of using Theymos' as the example profile for my screenshots. 1. Examples:The output is something like this: a) Who I distrust:Shows who I distrust (equivalent to users crossed out in the Forum Profile Hierarchical View of Trust). As an example, here's theymos' distrusted network:  b) Who I trust:Shows who I trust (equivalent to users not crossed out in the Forum Profile Hierarchical View of Trust). As an example, here's theymos' trusted network:  c) Who distrusts Me:Shows who I'm distrusted by. As an example, these are the profiles that distrust theymos:  d) Who Trusts Me:Shows who I'm trusted by. As an example, these are the profiles that trust theymos:  2. UseThe google product has three Tabs: 2.1. Data: We don't need to do anything with this Tab. It's the loaded trust.txt file after processing it an converting an Untrusted Relation to 1 and a Trusted Relation to a 2. 2.2 Who I trust / Distrust: This tells us who I trust or distrust, but we need to filter by my username and whether I want to see Untrusted Relationships(1) or Trust Relationships (2). To do this: - Click the Filter dropdown box - Select UserFromName value (a filter should be now visible on the left side of the screen) - On the filter you can now type your user name (i.e. theymos) - Select TrustType value (a filter should be now visible on the left side of the screen) - On the filter you can now type the range: 1 to 1 to see Untrusted Relationships. 2 to 2 to see Trusted Relationships. If you forget to apply this filter, you will see both trusted and untrusted relation mixed up, and although Trusted Nodes are larger in size than Untrusted Nodes, it’s a bit confusing to have both sets on screen simultaneously. - Press Find: - Filter should be applied and the image limited to the selected user, viewing his trusted or distrusted network. - You can adjust the image size and move it around. - There’s an irritating thing (that seems to be a bug) that often happens: Not all nodes are shown by default, so you need to increase the nodes in the box above the image (I normally just retype the upper limit of nodes shown by the node box). - If you want to filter by another user, it's best to delete the filter (using the cross) and restart again (otherwise it adds both users to the query). 2.3 Who Trusts Me/ Distrusts Me: This tells us which Networks we are in, either because we are trusted or distrusted. To do this: - Exactly the same as above, but filter by UserToName + TrustType. You can also see the exact data where the chart derives from by clicking on the three dots above the image and dragging it down. Note This is a similar product in terms of usage to Our very own sMerit Network Picture (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3395255.0) |

Link: User Merit Network. This is now a subset of Link: Merit Dashboard Edit 29/11/2019:. This is the last update: This product will be discontinued on the 03/12/2019
Updated to reflect the most recent sMerit available data: Total sMerit: 530.518 Total Txs: 268.122 From Users: 21.367 To Users: 31.736 minDate: 2018-01-24 22:12:21 maxDate: 2019-11-29 02:47:47 Edit 01/06/2018:The tool has the full history of sMerit TXs available in the official Forum export file, so it goes over the current 120 day Forum limit when viewing our sMerit History. By filtering the Data Tab you can see the sMerit detail you've sent or received.  NEW:1) Changed the Data Tab to include all individual sMerit Transactions (every single one since the Merit System genesys), and not just an aggregate by userFrom userTo which is what I used up until now. This allows up to view the whole set of individual TXs for any given user (just filter by the desired ToUserName or FromUserName). 2) The data record for each TX now includes more detail: Tx date, From data (userId , user name, rank and link to profile) To data (userId , user name, rank and link to profile), amount of sMerit in the Tx, link to the merited post. 3) I’ve switched on the export feature, so you can now export all or a filtered set of data to csv (I reimported it into Excel and it looks fine, allowing for external excel work to be be formed). Use from the Menu -> File -> Download. 4) A total Sent Tab has been added to aggregate the total sMerit sent to a given user/s. 5) A total Received Tab has been added to aggregate the total sMerit received for a given user/s. 6) A Summary Sent Tab has been added to summarize the total sent from a given to each user in his network. 7) A Summary Received Tab has been added to summarize the total received by a given user from each user in his network. Note: The filters have to be set on each individual Tab, since filters are not shared amongst Tabs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is an interesting curiosity that I thought about doing, but couldn’t find a proper free and easy to use tool to do it with until now... The idea is to get a general picture of our SMerit network in a graphical form, both as a sMerit sender and receiver. It won’t throw too many new insights, but I find it fun in a way. You can play around with the data following this link (edit 08/06/2018 replaced link with new version): User Merit Network. 1. Examples:The output is something like this: a) My sMerit Network as a sMerit Sender:Shows who I've sent sMerit to.  b) My sMerit Network as a sMerit Receiver:Shows who I've received sMerit from.  c) Theymo's Network as a sMerit Sender:Shows who Theymos has sent sMerit to.  d) Theymo's Network as a sMerit Receiver:Shows who Theymos has received sMerit from. Not bad ... (not all names come out since image is cropped).  e) Example of joint network of two sMerit Senders:Intersection between the two users of about a dozen merited users.  f) Example of joint network of two sMerit Receivers:Both users have received sMerit in common from multiple users.  g) My sMerit sent to Ranks / received from Ranks:Shows which Ranks i send sMerit to and vicecersa.  2. How to use it:The product is fine for multiple porposes, but is a bit chunky to use. It also lacks some featured I’d like to see included such as placing the sMerit number on the relationship lines, and for the product to share my filters on multiple tabs, amongst other features. The Google product shows now 9 Tabs: Data: This Tab now has all the sMerit Tx (derived from the latest sMerit.txt). It can be filtered at will to see someone's full set of TXs. Total Sent, Total Received: Aggregates Sent and Received by user. Filter the name. Summary Sent, Summary Received: Aggregates Sent and Received by a user to other users. Filter the name. Merit Awarded to: This tells us who the sMerit is awarded to, but we need to filter the Sender. To do this: - Click the Filter dropdown box - Select FromUserName value (a filter should be now visible on the left side of the screen) - On the filter you can now type your user name (i.e. ddmrddmr) and press Find - Filter should be applied and the image limited to the selected Sender, viewing al Receivers in his sMerit network. - You can adjust the image size and move it around. - There’s an irritating thing (that seems to be a bug) that often happens: Not all nodes (Receivers) are shown by default, so you need to increase the nodes in the box above the image (I normally just retype the upper limit of nodes shown by the node box). - If you want to filter by another user, it's best to delete the filter (using the cross) and restart again (otherwise it adds both users to the query). Merit Awarded By: This tells us who the sMerit is awarded by, but we need to filter the Receiver. To do this: - Exactly the same as above, but filter by ToUserName. Merit Awarded To Ranks: This tells us which Ranks our sMerit is awarded to, but we need to filter the Sender. To do this: - Exactly the same as above, but filter by FromUserName. Merit Awarded By Ranks: This tells us which Ranks award us with sMerit but we need to filter the Receiver. To do this: - Exactly the same as above, but filter by ToUserName. You can also see the exact data where the chart derives from by clicking on the three dots above the image and draging it down. It takes a little bit of getting used to it, but in a few minutes you can chart your sMerit networks as well as see the complete TXs for your selection.

Siendo las criptodivisas, hoy por hoy, un activo especulativo con una base técnica, y con horizonte aspiracional de convertirse en el corto/medio plazo en commodities operativos, no es de extrañar que los inversores sean cada vez menos técnicos y más económicos. Dentro de este segundo segmento, hoy se ha publicado un artículo en La Vanguardia (fuente http://www.lavanguardia.com/economia/20180423/442787395551/criptomonedas-bitcoin-fondos-indexados.html), donde se expone cómo están proliferando fondos de inversión indexados, basados en las criptomonedas. El artículo cita cómo los fondos de inversión basados en criptodivisas tienen como pionero a Bit20 en el 2016 (por cierto, presentado en este mismo foro). Desde entonces, este tipo de fondos han ido creciendo, pero con un uso restringido, ceñido a inversores tildados de “cualificados”, debido a los condicionantes impuestos por los reguladores en su creación y gestión. Las vistas están ahora puestas en los inversores no profesionales, habiendo movimientos hacia la creación de fondos más afables y menos complejos en su diversidad. Coinbase Index Fund es un ejemplo y estará operativo en pocas semanas. Upbit Crypto Index es de los que tiene más nombre en Corea del Sur al perteneceré a uno de los mayores exchanges de criptomonedas a nivel global. Hay exchanges que van a surgir con este tipo de producto en su ADN, como CoinVest (ICO reciente, aunque se quedó lejos de su hardcap - https://coinve.st/). Coinvest quiere que dentro del portafolio de productos se incluyan los índices referenciados en criptomonedas tanto del propio Exchange, como creados a título personal por usuarios dentro de su plataforma. No creo que tardemos demasiado en poder verlos por tanto de una manera más habitual y no residual como hasta ahora. Lo que si sabemos es que son de elevado riesgo dada la volatilidad del mercado. Hay fondos convencionales de riesgo elevado, y otros que mitigan el riesgo mediante un portafolio extenso que compensa las pérdidas de algunos activos con las ganancias de otros. En el ámbito de las criptodivisas, ya hemos visto periodos de tiempo en los cuales caen todas las criptodivisas simultáneamente sin paliativos, y durante periodos prolongados (lo contrario también, con subidas sostenidas). Por tanto, a mi entender, los fondos en criptodivisas son de mayor riesgo aún que los convencionales, y pivotan sobre las tendencias de valor de Bitcoin esencialmente, hoy por hoy estandarte sumario. |

Being rather new here, I wondered how the forum was like in the past. I’ve read some comments made by nostalgics on the matter, but me being me, I tried to look at it from what data could bring in, lacking forum age myself to have any sound opinion. I’ve seen the general forum stats ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats), and thought that it would be a way to compare forum evolution. If only I could get my hands on data from previous years to compare… Well I managed to get hold of it. What I can compare now are forum stats from snapshots taken roughly at one year intervals (I can’t get the exact day and month for every year, so I got the closest possible). This way, I can compare data from 2018 back to 2012. Not bad since I believe forum dates back to 2011. The final output is enlightening. Also, at the end of my post, I've included a section about top posters, which I figure will amuse people who have been around the forum for some time… 1- Bitcointalk overall statistics evolutionI’ve selected from the forum stats those indicators which I consider most significant to compare. I’ve added them all to a single table, and then drawn a graph of each indicator. The exponential growth of members is amazing since 2012. Some of the years double or triple the previous, although bot accounts may weigh in heavily lately. Consequently, the number of posts has followed a similar pattern of growth. Posts per day has gone up a lot since last year, but proportionally, increments between 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 were larger in terms percentage. Online per day decreases year after year, but to be honest, I don’t quite understand how this indicator is constructed. I would also like to see the amount of "active" users. We could argue the definition of active, but that's no the issue now, Maybe on another post ...    2- Bitcoin Top 10 Boards evolutionApart from the evolution in number of posts, what’s interesting is how the ranking evolves over time. For example, back in 2012 the Bitcoin Discussion was ranked number 1, but was debunked by Newbies the following year and then by Announcements (altcoins), ranking now only fourth. Some topics are completely wiped of the top 10 ranks like miming and goods.  3- Bitcoin Top 9 Boards Posters evolutionYes, the official stats show 10, but 9 fits better on screen, so 9 it is.. For each of the dates where I drew data from, I’ve compiled the summary of user profiles of the top 9 posters at the time. The profiles are ordered from left to right (and top to bottom), and are an image of the profile around the date used as reference for each dataset. Direct Links to current profiles are added after the image (note that image is historical and profile current). It’s interesting to see how Activity was not a concept present in 2012-2013, so I figure the whole ranking systems was perhaps just based on posts back then. Theymos was in the top 9 posters back in 2012. Hilariusandco was a top poster in 2015, being Staff back then, and stays on the list as a Global Moderator from 2016 onwards. Phinnaeus Gage is still on the top 9 posters this year, and was number one for three years in a row, but has been inactive since February 2017. Lauda get’s in to the top 9 in 2017 and scales up in 2018 to top 3. And so on… a) 20/04/2018 Links: 1. Amph https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=992972.

Edit 19/04/2018:TheQuin asked if I could breakdown the data further, to allow us to see even deeper into how each one of us is in relation to next rank's objectives. Since both Activity and Merit are required, graphs need to consider both variables. I've appended the charts to the original post, at the end of this post (section number 5). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This past weekend, I managed to reach a goal I had set out to surpass, which is that of reaching the 100 Merit barrier (  ) in a reasonable time, if possible before my activity caught up with the merit counter. I was fortunate enough to reach it just after two and a half months. Not bad, but certainly not effortless, and it does come at a cost in personal time. I thought I’d cool down a bit now, since my initial goal was reached, but then I started to see questions asked throughout the forum that I could try to help resolve. The latest that got me going was one related to rank scaling and merit. It got me wondering just how many people were on their way to rank up, but had not been able to do so yet due to either a lack of merit or activity. I’m not saying that the resulting numbers are good or bad, since that depends on overall forum objectives that consider quality of posts and content, spam reduction and reduction of account farming as the core aims, and have as a side effect a deceleration of ranking up. Besides, these numbers should ideally be compared to past data so see impact on ranking evolution. To cut a long story short, here are my findings: 1. Introduction:The universe of analysis is that of users that have received at least 1 Smerit up to the 13/04/2018 (latest merit.txt file). I've considered the natural ranks only, and amongst those, the ones that require Merit. Any user that has not received sMerit I have not considered, basically because I'd take a trillion days to get all their data. If you come to think of it, non-sMerited users have not managed (yet) to move a single step towards ranking up, so they have a long road ahead and are not in the Rank pipeline, at least not from a minimal dynamic point of view.  From the summary, which is broken-down further down, we can see that: * 48,78% of users are in need of sMerit to rank up to the next level (since the Activity level for the next level has been reached). * 1,94% of users have reached the next level in terms of Merit, but not Activity. This small select group need only post enough days to rank up. * 48,15% of users need both Merit and Activity to rank up. * 1,12% are what I think, are being considered for legendary as we'll see below. So in summary, nearly half of the users are ready to rank up but need to work on getting Merit. Therefore Merit takes it's toll, but it's there for a reason and those are the rules of the game now. Figure is rather high though objectively ... 2. Breakdown by Rank:Here's the breakdown by Rank. Each graph shows how many users ar waiting to rank up to the next level, and the motive. In the Heros to Legendary chart, I've created a category called "0. Being considered for Legendary". It represent those that have already got at least 1.000 Merit and at least 775 Activity (the range is formally 775-1030, but I'm considering the minimum for this excercise). The specific change of rank does not seem automatic, so I guess they have to be veted one by one. Heros I think started off with a 500 Merit airdrop. Nevertheless, there are quite a few that seem to have received 1.000 merit, probably because they are virtual Legends and are probably in consideration. I've created an overall category called "3. Soon may rank up to xxxxxxx" where xxxxx is the goal Rank. This category includes those users that are within 20% of the Merit requirement and at the same time, within 20% of the Activity requirement. That leaves "4. Not enough activity nor Merit to rank up to xxxxxxxx" for those outside the 20% window on both accounts.       3. Who has got enough merit, but lacks activity?:These are on the fast track to ranking up. I've ordered the list by Rank and then by Merit /Posts. There are some strange cases though if you study the profiles. I looked through the Member segment one by one: * pafu -> Being a Member, started off with a 500 Merit airdrop instead of 10 (could be a bought account, but I thought there were no demotions..). -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=25731* Technor -> Being a Member, started off with a 100 Merit airdrop instead of 10. -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1134109* Husna QA -> Looks Ok. -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1827294* kaar -> Looks Ok. -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1439008* doudou1110 -> Looks weird -> 100 sMerits in only 5 small posts. -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1206752* 55Domains -> Being a Member, started off with a 100 Merit airdrop instead of 10. -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=945408* tam31 -> Being a Member, started off with a 100 Merit airdrop instead of 10. -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1138263* DdmrDdmr -> Looks Ok (  ) -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1582324* bitmover -> Looks Ok. -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1554927* asche -> Weird: Nearly all Merit comes from Oscar2000 in ANN threads. -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1580039Note: sorry about tabulation, can't seem to master it properly on this forum...rank name merit activity posts ratioMeritToPost url

A breakdown by activity and rank allows us to see even deeper into how each one of us is in relation to next rank's objectives. Since both Activity and Merit are required, what If done is break down each of these variables into set of 20% (% of variable objective completed), with a >100% group as well (over the limit). Green: Could Rank Up but lacks activity or is under consideration (Legendaries only). Red: Could have ranked up, but lacks merit. Blue: Lacks both activity and merit (each group tells us how much the users have moved towards the goals). Examples of interpretation:* Let's say a user has only reached 22% of Activity required by his next rank level, and 14% of Merit, he would be on the A: [20%..40%) M: (0%..20%) segment, being far away on both objectives. * If a user has reached 82% of Activity required by his next rank level, and 74% of Merit, he would be on the A: [80%..100%) M: (60%..80%) segment.  Regardless of activity, most Heros have way to go on Merit since they are on the [40%-60%) segment of the Merit required by Legendary rank.  Most Sr Member have way to go on Merit since they are on the [40%-60%) ; less than half of these are within 20% of activity goal as well.  Yes again the mayority is on the [40%-60%) merit segment, with more than 75% being near the Activity goal. The above cases are likely to be in the [40%-60%) merit segment with a large contribution from initial merit airdrop.  Things change radically here, since the initial airdrop of merit is proportionally further away from next rank's goal requirements (10 fold vs 2-2,5 fold in higher ranks). Mayority is in the lower merit band (0%..20%).  Distribution in terms of merit follows a pyramid shape based on metir, and repeats the pattern on each activity block. Full table:

A Newbie asked on another thread if there was a chart showing the amount of time between posts. I thought I'd give it a pass, but then came to believe it could be an interesting question, looking at it from the posts created per Rank/person’s perspective. That is perhaps a bit more ilustrating than time between posts. I thought it would be quick to answer. Unfortunately it isn't, but since I was on it to answer the Newbie in a sense, I thought I'd see it through. The overall forum data cannot be accessed, but I do have data from a couple of previous analysis, which allow me to get picture from two distinct subsets of users (therefore, conclusions are limited to those subsets): 1. Users created after Merit System kickoff
Results are based on following the posting activity of users that were created during the first two weeks after Merit System Kick-off, having made at least 1 post. Column AvgPostsPerDay is calculated based on total posts of the user, divided by number of days since user was created (up until day of dataset extraction). A 0 represents an average of between 0 and 1 posts per day, a 1 an average between 1 and 2, and so on. Contrary to what many of us think, Newbies are not posting every single day like mad. There are many with just 1 or 2 posts since they joined and that's it. That why the average posts per day with them (0,24) or without them (1,25) is very different. Bots may play a role in this somehow.  2. Users that are involved in a Smerit Transaction (awarder or awarded)Same calculation criteria here, but with a different set of users (some don't favour the term “user”, but if we call them “members” well end up getting confused due to rank names – or something worse). Users here are those that either sent or received sMerit up until the 23/03/2018 (dataset is not the most recent, but I already had it from previous rank based analysis and it's quite hell to update it all just for this right now).  With this set of users, average goes up to 1,38 posts per day, but remember this is biased, as it only involves merited/meriter users. Note: I decided not to paste the data table here as it is too long and graph shows all the data. |

1. IntroductionI've taken a look at the evolution in the forum of users that created a Bitcointalk account during the first two weeks after the merit system was set in motion, to see how those users born into the new system have developed. I must stress that this analysis is limited to new users created between the 24/01/2018 and the 06/02/2018, being the grand total 64.991 users created in those two weeks. This is therefore not to be extrapolated to all users, since only new users with a 2 month window ahead are treated. Those users have had time to become Members in these 11 weeks, so I wanted to see what had really happened. Not everyone has a fast track objective to rank-up, so this exercise may be different if performed in a couple of week's time with the same set of users. Two quick conclusions:a) Not that many users are really that active and eager to rank-up (generated posts could be way higher if that were the case). b) Merit has it's toll as expected on ranking (see "9. Rank, Activity and Awarded Merit"). 2. User Accounts created by date The first thing that stands out is the amount of user account that were created on the first day of rank kick-off. The amount is double an average day. Maybe due to bots creating accounts, or to users rushing to see if they got in before the merit system actually was set in motion (in was booted up at night)... as it that were to be a benefit .. 3. User Accounts created per hour Nothing strange here: accounts are created mainly between 8 am and 8 pm (forum time) 4. Last active week This is where it gets interesting. It turns out that only 13,01% of these users have been active in the past two weeks, and an additional 5,65% two weeks before that. That is to say, only 18,66% of the newly created accounts analysed actually login to the forum in the past 4 weeks (let alone do something on it). There's even a 10,96% of these accounts that have never been active (I guess creating the account and exiting does not leave a last active timestamp). Again that is fairly odd and may be due to bots as TheQuin suggested answering one of my previous posts. 5. Posts per User The first thing that stands out is that 75,13% of newly created users have 0 posts (I've omitted this from the chart to be able to graph the rest, but the table contains this data). WTF? That is an outstanding figure. We thought that every user would post at least a few times in the last 11 weeks, but the immense majority are just voyeurs (gaining knowledge let's hope) ... or bot accounts... Let's say that a post a day is what is needed to contribute to activity and therefore rank (merit aside). It turns out that 2,19% of the new accounts had more than 51 posts in these past 11 weeks. Not that much effort overall in ranking up so if we complain now of the amount of non-contributive posts created on a daily basis, imagine if the whole base of newly created accounts really did go wild on trying to rank up with daily activity! 6. Activity per User Not much here once commented the above, since activity is correlated to posts. I classified activity for a table that is shown further down as high (1,47%), mid (2%) , low (21,40%) and none (75,14%). We could say that, from a ranking-up's perspective, only around 1,47% (high) are really involved and on route to rank up as fast as possible (merit aside). P.D. There seems to be a small glitch that allows users with 0 activity to have >0 posts in their count (that's why there's a 5 user difference between the 0 activity and 0 posts groups).
7. Rank Not surprisingly having seen the previous charts, there are not that many users that have ranked up to either Junior Member or Member: 13,72%. This doesn´t mean that the won't somewhere down the line. For now we can at least say that only 0,27% (if we exclude the brand new from the ratio) made it to member on the fast track (being active often enough in the window of time analysed and gaining the 10 sMerits required at least). 8. Merit Merit is kind of spread-out across ranks, but average per user is low. Of course is posts are low as seen before (phew), a large aggregate of merit is less likely to be gained. 9. Rank, Activity and Awarded Merit note: horizontal->rank and categorised activity. vertical->merit groupRank is achieved through activity and Merit, therefore they should be looked at together to comprehend the proper picture. As it turns out, there are: * 6 Jr members with high activity (more than 60), but need less than or equal to 4 merits to rank-up. -> These would have ranked-up with old system * 112 Jr members with high activity (more than 60), but need more than or equal to 5 merits to rank-up. -> These would have ranked-up with old system * 782 Jr members with high activity (more than 60), with 0 Merit -> These would have ranked-up with old system There are four exceptional users with above 50 Merits: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1764044 alia Jr. Member https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1764764 esmanthra Member https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1792612 Battlestar_Coin Copper Member https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1806854 Dr.Mann Jr. Member One of the profiles above is rather blurry with bags of negative trust...

Here is another breakdown of sMerit sent during the period going from 24/01/2018 through to 23/03/2018. This time, my focus is on crossing rank with forum structure and merited messages. The novelty is crossing the information with rank, since forum structure has been analyzed before. The data only relates to users involved in a sMerit transaction, so users who have neither sent nor received sMerit are not part of the scope of study. Note: Rank is the current Rank of each user (at time of data extraction). I have performed two complementary exercises: a)- Rank Composition: Depicts a bird's eye view of how each main Forum Category contributes to the Rank being analysed. We could consider it as a profile photo of the average user in the Rank (although who really fits the average of any statistical categorization? ). This is done from the receiver's side (not the senders). b)- Top 10 forums/subforums that contribute to a Rank's sMerit awarded total amount: It's a drill-down of the previous exercise, so as to see specific Forum Names that contribute most to each Rank. It goes without saying that the analysis is objective and numerical, and does not dig any further into the whos and whys. 1- Global Summary: Local Boards add up to 34,21% of total awarded sMerit, and Bitcoin (of all) has the least with only 8,57%. Another 4,23% corresponds to deleted or unmatchable posts. 2- Rank Composition: Founder's sMerit comes from the Bitcoin Section, while Administrator's is basically originated in the Other Section.  Global Moderator's sMerit comes from the Other Section, while Staff's is originated largely in both the Local Section and Bitcoin Section.  VIP's sMerit comes mainly from the Bitcoin Section, while Donator's is of a rather heterogeneous nature.  Copper's sMerit origin is rather well distributed, being weaker in the Local Boards. Legendary on the other hand has the Bitcoin section as it's weakest.  Heros's sMerit origin is rather well distributed, being weaker in the Bitcoin Boards. Sr. Members gain nearly half of the merit on the Local Boards.  Full Members and Members have a rather similar profile, having less than 3 point differences on all Forum Sections.  Jr. Members resemble Members, while Newbies are very strong in the Alternate Cryptocurrencies Section (due to the Ann forums).  Brand New is a weird exception: sMerit originates in deleted posts, so it looks like purchased accounts that deleted all posts but maintained sMerit. 2- Top 10 Forums per Rank (received sMerit):There's a wide variety of Forums involved in the Top 10 Forums that receive sMerit per rank. For example, Meta is where 95,15% of sMerit is awarded to Administrators (not a surprise), and top for Moderators and Copper Members. Legendary is favoured by Economics, Ann, Meta and Marketplace, similar to Heroe Members where we also see Local Language forums as important. Sr. Members, Full Members and Members too have a large part due to Local Language forums (Russian, Turkish, Indonesian and French). Jr. Members have a large component originated in Ann as well as Local Language forums, while Newbies are much more awarded in the Ann forums.                |
