1. Introduction.Almost a year ago, I created a post on how the ranking-up pipeline looked like (see
Stats on the Rank pipeline - How many are we on the way to ranking up? extension), and I thought that it may be interesting to create an updated version of the analysis to take a look at how things stand now.
Most of what I’ve included here can also be retrieved and followed with weekly updates on the
Merit Dashboard, selecting the tabs labelled “Ranked-up” to see those that have ranked-up under the Merit System, and “Ranking-up Pipeline” to follow the core of this post dynamically.
2. Ranked-up under the Merit SystemAs a general context, the following is a summary of what I make as the amount of forum members that have ranked-up under the Merit System (
needing at least 1 sMerit in the process):
![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FO0XUuUD.png&t=665&c=oUB2h-zq3c2Viw)
What the table shows is that 13.229 people have ranked-up (as of last Friday), making it:
- Legendary: 10 (from Hero Member).
- Hero Member: 38 (22 from Sr. Member, 11 from Full Member and 5 from Member).
- Sr. Member: 100 (63 from Full Member, 6 from Member, 1 from New Era Newbie and 30 from Old Era Newbie).
- Full Member: 174 (84 from Member, 13 from New Era Newbie and 77 from Old Era Newbie).
- Member: 3.183 (437 from New Era Newbie and 2.746 from Old Era Newbie).
- Jr. Member: 9.724 (4.783 from New Era Newbie and 4.941 from Old Era Newbie).
One curios thing that stands out is that the number of accounts that have made it to Jr. Member are currently now nearly half and half between New Era Newbie (first merit >= 17/09/2018) and Old Era Newbie (first merit < 17/09/2018.). We could cross this data with last active to get some more insights, but that is not really the objective here.
A full list of the ranked-up members can be retrieved from the
Merit Dashboard, but I’ve also provided an easier (static – i.e. not updated weekly) access here to the
complete list of ranked-up forum members:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-Kt6olnf_vTnNXa-l_LVX2as3Rwz-K727OMForuAYDA/edit?usp=sharing .
Note that the column "started with" is sometimes slightly off when the person has been merited between the creation of the forum’s merit.txt file, and my profile scrape a few hours later.
3. Ranking-up pipeline - SummaryThe ranking-up pipeline summary looks like this:
![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FG44QQ1D.png&t=665&c=OTsiakRVdW8NCw)
Out of the 27.147
merited profiles, 1.390 are not really in the ranking-up pipeline (Legendaries, staff, etc.), so we get a net of 25.757 profiles that are included in the ranking-up pipeline.
We could go a step further and discard profiles that have not logged in x months, but I don’t think it is worth doing that yet (besides, they may revive as accounts).
Out of those 25.757 profiles, 62,10% lack just the merits for ranking-up to their next level, 15,25% lack just the Activity, and 22,35% lack both. An additional 76 people are Heroes with the minimum activity (775) and the necessary merits (earned + airdropped), and whose formal conversion requires the activity to build a bit more and/or the ranking Legendary algorithm to kick-in.
4. Ranking-up pipeline – by RankThe ranking-up pipeline summary by Rank looks like this:
![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FcU03zLG.png&t=665&c=oBjndULY2P6bxw)
The above gives us a breakdown of the table is section 3, by Rank. There’s a new segment category here, “3. Soon may rank up to Rank”, indicating that those people are within 20% of the required Merits and Activity (on both accounts) to reach their next rank. They are not the only ones, since those that are near the merit or goal rank individually are also near to their goal (more on that later on).
Interesting to see:- 660 profiles would be legendries (or at least postulated at the minimum required activity threshold) with the old system, but not under the Merit System.
- 1.210 Sr. Members would have been Heroes under the old system.
- 2.657 Full Members would already be Sr. Members under the old meritless system.
- 4.460 Members would have been Full members by now under the old system.
- 7.009 Jr. Members would now be Members under the old system.
- There are 3.284 Newbie accounts, with at least 1 Merit that have not ranked-up due to lack of activity. That is surprising, but there are likely causes such as nuked and being here for just to make a couple of questions or comments.
5. Ranking-up pipeline – by Rank and segment of Merits and ActivityThis breaks down what we saw in the previous chart, in order to show us just how close or distant each profile is within a given segment, creating subsegment quintiles for Activity and Merits.
Hero and Sr. Member:![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FOuAE7nn.png&t=665&c=3ID5BjjBDvSXuQ)
Notice how there are 607 (out of 660) Heroes that we can now see that have only somewhere between 40% and 60% of the Merit goal, while having the required activity. Only 10 profiles are very near their goal (activity >= 100% - minimum for Legendary; merits between 80% and 100%).
I’m not going to detail it all here, but the pattern is similar on all ranks.
