Cheers for replies guys! I'd give you both some merit if I had some to give, lol. No worries about the price hike, I'd rather earn it than pay for it anyway. Happy merit anniversary!
It's the week of merit (anniversary) so was thinking of meriting you +1 but after I went through your post history and notice you have been bumping your announcement thread with almost look alike replies I got discourage although your last reply was average but me meriting it will just be encouraging you to spam more with the privilege of adding image. Clean up your account and only post when necessary not just for bumping and add a little quality to your posts then you'll get one from me. Required merit is too too much. I have been a "hero member" for a long time now but because of the 500+ merit requirement I can't seem to get anywhere near that level. Its almost impossible to reach to 500+ merit. I think it should be lowered by a lot.
If you ask me, the jnr and member rank, needs more adjustment the rest are just OK. something like this. Jnr = 10 Member= 50 I don't mind theymos increasing other ranks too. Bitcoin is going nowhere anytime soon so is the forum. we'll surely get to those ranks we admire if we post right and have patience. Is better to be slow and sure then to be fast and fall (red tagged)

We would love to answer more questions, but engagement just hasn't been there recently. We do have a very lively private, invite-only Telegram channel (to avoid spam), where we answer our most loyal followers' questions, which probably results in less questions on public forums.

Sum of last 4 week merit circulation: 3245+4272+5859+6068= 19444. sMerits quota for 28 days = 20735 *(28/30) = 19352 19444 > 19352 So Ignoring first few month (airdropped merit effect) and spike occurred in September (cause due to Jr. Member 1 Merit requirement). I guess this is the first time when Merit circulated are more than source sMerits. I guess main reason might be Pharmacist post which caused theymos to increase the quota of active merit sources and addition of few more merit sources.

Yeah and other than this, a lot of sMerits were spent after the ANN of DefaultTrust changes because the activity was increased hugely. As a result, other people also shared sMerits.

It's good to see a healthy amount of smerits in circulation, sources being much more active in the forum. It's safe to say we are over the newbie demotion uproar has died down and the system is functioning accurately now. Also activity in the forum is increasing gradually after a drop during the market crash last November.

Bear in mind that the Merit Source allowance was resized on the 05/01/2019. I have no idea how many cases were resized, but those that were had their allowance topped-up again on that date with the new quota. That effectively means that the overall aggregate sMerit has been larger than the usual value for a 30 day period (currently set at 20735 sMerit per 30 days).

From Senior Member to Hero, 250 merits required, so I agreed that it is a real challenge. Nevertheless, it is reachable. Required merit is too too much.
because of the 500+ merit requirement I can't seem to get anywhere near that level. Its almost impossible to reach to 500+ merit. I think it should be lowered by a lot.
Really? Your activity has still been 528, so you should be a Hero with old ranking system, without merit system, not too long (2 to 4 weeks ago). I have been a "hero member" for a long time

Well, you posted not very much since Merit System introduction. I've counted all your posts since January 24, 2018 (around 55 posts, 32 of them in Announcement threads) and I think your received Merit is a very good rate for your number of posts and where you did them. Edit: I think you should not complain about the Merit: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F63Upsj2.png&t=665&c=sxL0FJ_u23cYMQ) Source: https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=Captain%20Corporate

I don't agree. In my analysis on intra-week merits, there is no outlier week occured in first three weeks of 2019! < ... >
In short, my analysis presented there: < ... > I> Full dataset< ... > Potential outliers are weeks that have total merits beyond these two threshold 1) Q3 + 1.5*IQR = 6022.5 + 3335.25 = 9357.75 ~ 9358 2) Q1 - 1.5*IQR = 3799 - 3335.25 = 463.75 ~ 464 < ... > Now, let's count how many weeks are outliers: . list merit week if merit >=9358 | merit <=464
+----------------+ | merit week | |----------------| 1. | 30949 2018w4 | 2. | 19958 2018w5 | 3. | 13304 2018w6 | 4. | 11722 2018w7 | +----------------+
There are only four outlier weeks, and all of them occured within the first four weeks after the start of merit system. II> Truncated datasetNow, I truncated all these four weeks in order to have a truncated dataset, and start identifying potential outliers for the truncated dataset < ... > Potential outliers:- IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 1336 - 1.5*IQR = 1336*1.5 = 2004 - Q3 + 1.5*IQR = 5129.5 + 2004 = 7133.5 ~ 7134. - Q1 - 1.5*IQR = 3793.5 - 2004 = 1789.5 ~ 1790 Potential outliers for truncated dataset are weeks that have total intraweek merits beyond 1790 or 7134. < ... > Let's see how many outliers identified: . list merit week if merit >=7134 | merit <=1790
+-----------------+ | merit week | |-----------------| 1. | 8758 2018w8 | 2. | 8806 2018w9 | 3. | 7253 2018w10 | 4. | 7309 2018w11 | 31. | 7825 2018w38 | +-----------------+ Five weeks in total, and none of them occured in the year 2019. The week #2018w18 described below: . list id merit date dofw day month2 year week month if id >=237 & id < 244
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | id merit date dofw day month2 year week month | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 237. | 237 1862 17sep2018 Monday 17 9 2018 2018w38 2018m9 | 238. | 238 1294 18sep2018 Tuesday 18 9 2018 2018w38 2018m9 | 239. | 239 1268 19sep2018 Wednesday 19 9 2018 2018w38 2018m9 | 240. | 240 846 20sep2018 Thursday 20 9 2018 2018w38 2018m9 | 241. | 241 807 21sep2018 Friday 21 9 2018 2018w38 2018m9 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 242. | 242 944 22sep2018 Saturday 22 9 2018 2018w38 2018m9 | 243. | 243 804 23sep2018 Sunday 23 9 2018 2018w38 2018m9 | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
As we all known, the sudden rises of merits in September mainly come from abusements due to demotion of Junior Members. For fully analysis, please visit the original post.

Every rank can be reach with good and constructive posting on any given topic. Think that mostly this is bad for spammers and they quit this cuz they cant spam. This is actually a good thing for the forum less spam. On this I must say that I tried to look several years in past for many topic here and to see what was the difference on from some point I must say that many members new and old started to write post not just to say few word for something. For this now every rank that requires merit will be challenge for every newcomer here.

If you ask me, the jnr and member rank, needs more adjustment the rest are just OK. something like this.
Jnr = 10 Member= 50
If your suggestion become real, we might see a new massive spamming in Meta like we saw in January and February of 2018, but I support your proposal. Let's see the next adjustment of forum's ranking system.

You even did not read what is merit and how it functions. There is no point in hoarding sMerit; keeping it yourself does not benefit you, and we reserve the right to decay unused sMerit in the future. Merits are un-decayable (by now, theymos has not had plans to decay merits), so you raised a wrong point! Furthermore, it simply support the suggestion of CryptopreneurBrainboss. I did not make any proposal, so you were wrong again. The discussion should be stopped here.

Is there still the slightest chance of a new rank, it’s been discussed so many times but I think there are too many Legendary Members at the moment. Some got lucky with the 1000 Merit airdrop who were still Hero Members pre Merit System.
I think an ‘Elite’ rank or ‘Lambo’ member would be awesome achievable by 2000 Activity & 2000 Merit.

Merit is cycled and meaningless according to suchmoon.. that has no relation to post quality nor the users prior achievements here. Rank should not be related to merit in its current state.

I don't have any specific answer to your question about whether there is discussion of some new rank that might be added.. but Yes.. a decent idea with both the suggested name of "Elite" and the approximate merit/activity threshold to achieve. By the way, I doubt that "Lambo" would be considered an acceptable name because it comes off as a bit too superficial and would tend to denigrate into a kind of materialism...

1) Self-Custody is a right. There is no such thing as "non-custodial" or "un-hosted." 2) ESG, KYC & AML are attack-vectors on Bitcoin to be avoided or minimized. 3) How much alt (shit)coin diversification is necessary? if you are into Bitcoin, then 0%......if you cannot control your gambling, then perhaps limit your alt(shit)coin exposure to less than 10% of your bitcoin size...Put BTC here: bc1q49wt0ddnj07wzzp6z7affw9ven7fztyhevqu9k
