How do Growth Rewards Work? Look in FAQ
https://www.merit.me/faq/#how-do-growth-rewards-workMerit has a lottery system for rewarding people for growing the network.
A score is calculated per address. It consists of your balance plus half of the balance of the people you invited and one-quarter of the balance of the people they invited and so on, halving each level.
When you receive Merit, you are entered into the lottery pool if your score is high enough multiplied by some random weight. The lottery pool has a maximum of ten thousand spots.
Five winners are selected each block from the lottery pool at random where the chance of winning depends on your score. The winners get a share proportional to their score.
Your score determines the probability of winning.
The root address in the genesis block does not receive Growth Rewards.
An address can be booted out of the lottery pool if an address not in the pool gets a better score x random weight.
