[S_Therapist]

Where I can get original source of data on new account created per day, in total?

You can get the original by scraping all profiles, start with https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1 and move up from there.
Luckily, Piggy did that already and shared the data.

I tried to quickly get you a list of new accounts per day, but it proves to be harder than expected to extract the registration date from each line (in Raw.zip), so I gave up (for now).

Thanks for the hint.
I will try it later, might be months later, because I have to learn SQL queries in order to retrieve necessary data variables for my analysis from raw data given by @Theymos.

Great initiatives!
I thank you so much for your intention to help.

For others,
It is just a hint from my analysis:

Updated the OP, weekly, and monthly analyses, with more interesting findings, including the following table.
Daily merits

The median of daily merits of the period before 19th Feb. 2018 is 3.4 times higher than as of the period since 19th Feb. 2018, at 2154 and 627, respectively.
For full merit dataset, the all-time-high is 13018, and all-time-low is 370.

Weekly merits

Monthly merits

For more details, please visit and re-read the OP, everyone.

My topic is here

[hugeblack]

Weekly update, we have an up after the sources recharge, still very low.

Are there any statistics for local boards?
I'm confused because there are a lot of valuable posts but I do not want to rank-up some accounts "which make more than 10 good/ high-quality posts" based on my assessment "send more than 10 merits to one user/10 posts"

[DdmrDdmr]

<…>

It depends on what you want to see at local board level (aggregate, individual, etc) . That I’m aware of, you can take a look at:

a) Merit Dashboard. Some Local Board related information can be retrieved by:

- Tab "Section/Subsection": Aggregate Merits given to a Local Board, broken down by month.

- Tab "Ranked-up": Filter by subsection (choose a Local Board) to see who has ranked-up under the Merit System, while being merited on the local board too (and perhaps other boards).

- Tab "Rankings": Filter by Subsection (set to the Local Board’s name) and/or date range to see top Meriters, Merited, and Merited threads on the Local Board.

- Tab "Potential Merit Sources": Filter by Subsection (set to the Local Board’s name) and/or date range to see which people have given merit to how many people on a given Local Board (SentNetworkSize) and the amount of Merits (sMerit).

- Tab "Personal Summary" and “User Summary” for views on an individual basis.

b) Top 30 Merit givers per board - Interactive Tool to spot possible Merit Sources.

c) @Piggy has additionally provided an open SQL environment to query: Tool to run online SQL queries over Full Merit Data.

Update on daily merit distributions since 24th Jan. 2018.

The new box plot looks better after disable displays of outliers in box plot.
For full details, please visit the original thread via the link below.

~

Medians displayed via horizontal lines inside boxes, and the plot presents same statistical facts as the table below.

In the boxplot, it easily see the small difference of median between full and after merit dataset, which are 652 and 627, respectively.
In contrast, the difference between before and after 19th Jan. 2018 is much more significant, with nearly 3.4 times higher for the median daily merits of the period before 19th. Jan. [2154 compared to 627].
~

* Before: the period of first four weeks after the launch day of merit system (days before 19th Jan. 2018).
* After: the period of days since 19th Jan. 2018.

oh i understood! the weekly distribuited merits follows the line of the bitcoin graph

[El duderino_]

hey guys I would love to get some merit pls.. 

And I would love to have 25 million BTC.  I'd ask to strike up a deal, but I'm afraid you will never be able to raise the 25 million BTC.  However, if the reason you want a merit is so you can wear a signature, you may buy a copper membership. It's very reasonable, and you don't have to beg.

maybe its for a HAT but i doubt that

No, I want it for a lifetime supply of Ramen and I plan on living forever.

To get real merit, I find it difficult because I present bad articles,
However, I am very active in the activities and if somebody can send me some merit, I am very thankful for that

[S_Therapist]

In order to get the real merit, I find it difficult because I present the article is not good

If I am not wrong, your article is full of only facebook and twitter reports.

However, I am very active in activities

Yeah, you are very active with activities. You have till now made 456 reports posts but didn't get 1 merit. This is your first post without the shit social campaign reports if I am correct. How can you expect to get merit with those?

[DdmrDdmr]

<...>

If you invested some of the time you spend on social reports, on trying to create decent content that can be of use to more that yourself and the ICOs you post socials on behalf of, then you may have a chance of getting merit at some point.

The idea is not too difficult: create posts (not articles) that can be appealing in a way due to it’s content, and that may be of use/interest to others more than oneself …

[BlueMoonLight]

Christmas season is coming is there a chance of merit system deactivation?
Is there a chance that theymos may give us Christmas bonus?
Marry merit in Christmas or maybe in new years eve.

I think merit is the best gift ever to crypto communities if possible. 

How are these two phenomena even related? I don`t see any logic ... Implication is clearly not your strong point. Your only chance to get merits for the Christmas holidays is to learn to write better posts until that time. That would really be a Christmas miracle!

Then, nowadays, getting merit without any corruption means MIRACLE. ?
Suppose getting merit from better post could be a natural bitcointalk phenomena and not miracle.

I have some sMerit I want to give away and just went through your post history but I couldn't find any worthy post. Most of your posts are in a spamy megathreads. Seems like it's a miracle to find a merit worthy posts nowadays.

[LoyceV]

Even worse: he's advertising a website (in his profile) that asks people for their private keys, and thus goes against the the first rule of crypto.

Seems like it's a miracle to find a merit worthy posts nowadays.

I have the same "FWP". Exactly a month ago I merited many different posts, and since I wasn't that active in the past days, my sMerit is piling up again.

Every time I run out of sMerit I'm happy that I have no more responsibilities to search for good posts and i can just browse around. Then someone filled my bags again like TMAN the last time and here I am again, looking for posts I guess it's the same with merit sources, but without the small breaks.

You have the activity for Rank up , the only you need is to reach the 250 Merit then you will Rank up !

You can get Merits when you doing good posts and be helpfuly , but remember dont copy and paste from other Work , that will get you banned perma from the Forum !

Good Luck .

I've never been out of sMerit since it was introduced. But I'm sending more lately, so that's something.

Most easiest way to get any amount of merit is local section and there you can get or hoped to get one merit for someone there. But did take some look into your posts 99% are for social media bounties where you place list what they ask. Be little creative on do little research on one subject for example what could be better now investing in gold crypto or real estates. Read some articles online and make some post about your option on this, this is off course example. Or create some good and maybe very visited topic that will bring you maybe even more merit. Read here a little there are good topic about merit distribution, and believe that user DdmrDdmr is good choice to get started. He has very good topics about merit distribution and I personally follow his topic. Start from there and you will see that this can be very helpful.
