Now before many of you jump to conclusions firstly i would like to say that this is a post related to merit system but it is different from other posts (Hopefully)
Now i'm not sure weather to call this is a drawback but it exists
I have quoted few posts below i'm not targeting anyone but i just want a sort of awareness
Stats for this week:
Average: 60.89 (11.95% increase from last week)
Median: 43 (4.88% increase from last week)
Total: 3471 (10.02% increase from last week)
This campaign now represents 3.26% (2.19% increase from last week) of all merits given on the forum. (3471/106434)
I noticed that every week while making payments darkstar posts this message regarding the merit stats but if you all notice the merits most people in chipmixer campaign have received is either exchanged between them or
they have received from posting in metaLet's ignore the first part of the above line and concentrate on the bold part
I have also noticed in order to earn merit without posting in those merit giveaway thread or farming from alt account the only way possible is by posting in meta as that's literally the only place where someone can receive merit , there is barely anyone who receives merits for his reply to a discussion which isn't in the meta section
Here's a example of TryNinja a user enrolled in chipmixer campaign
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=557798 - If you notice 80% of the merits he received on posts is from the meta section
Here's another example take a look at Pharmacist merits -
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=487418 most are from meta
If not from meta another easy way of getting merits is by starting a merit giveaway thread -
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2968050.msg30499459#msg30499459I only found HeRetik who actually received merit from his contribution
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=99837Again i'm not attacking users enrolled in chipmixer they all have constructive posts this is just to create a awareness of how exactly the merit system is working , i'm sure there are many more people who receive merits from posting in meta but i specifically stuck to chipmixer
