[TOP-200] The most generous users giving merits

[Halab]

I looked at Merit Stats and noticed that one user who had about 150 sMerits allocation was recently removed from merit sources. I am curious who this user is.

It's Vadi2323. He asked not to be a merit source anymore.

[...]
I do not want to participate in that and ask to transfer my merit source functions to someone else.
[...]

Theymos seems to have listened to him.

Hopefully those sMerits won't be lost forever, but reallocated to user willing to take over the duty:

Open Merit Source Applications,waiting list.

Not a very original idea, I am sure Theymos is already considering this.

This week I have not updated TOP-200 of the most generous users, but since the Bitcointalk 10th anniversary art contest has ended, I need to say that the analysis has detected the following members as new merit sources:
1. theymos - administrator of the forum
2. Cyrus - administrator of the forum who is active in the Romanian local board
3. HagssFIN
4. Royse777
5. fillippone - active in the Italian local board
6. Blacknavy (aka Matthias9515) - active in the Turkish local board
7. 1miau - active in the German local board
8. Alex_Sr - active in the Russian local board
9. Ratimov - active in the Russian local board
10. Heisenberg_Hunter - active in the India local board
11. bitmover - active in the Portuguese local board

Later, I will update all the tables and chart and publish the monthly statistics for November 2019.

It's Vadi2323. He asked not to be a merit source anymore.

This is true, so I added Vadi2323 to the list of former merit sources.

Seems like he was demanding some benefit or something? Anyway good to see him to retire. Sometimes people take things too personally where this is just a forum.

Seems like I am unkown to you :-P

Actually theymos did excately that: reallocating sMerits from inactive MS to active MS.

Later, I will update all the tables and chart and publish the monthly statistics for November 2019.

Done.

The detection algorithm has spotted another two merit sources:
1) BitCryptex - active in the Polish local board.
2) Bitcoin Forum - service account that can also perform transactions with a negative merit value.

It should be noted that theymos who recently awarded thousands of merits in the 10th anniversary art contest is now rated 5th in this TOP-200.

Seems like I am unkown to you :-P

I know you as a very active member and high-quality poster of the forum. In my previous post I merely mentioned whether the user is active in some local board or not.

Actually theymos did excately that: reallocating sMerits from inactive MS to active MS.

Indeed. According to Merit Stats, there are only 98 users with a higher sMerit allocation in the list of merit sources. Thus, 32 users have recently become former merit sources.

Whether you, Royse777, mean to imply that there is a Cantillon effect problem in the smerit supply or if there is some other kind of other devolution into infinite printing of smerits in favor of the admins those are interesting empirical questions upon which we do not really have the answers.

My suspicion is that there is almost no way (unless I am understanding the situation incorrectly) that theymos merely had all those smerits in his reserve bank.  Of course, he had likely not been spending his smerits on a regular 30 day basis, so those smerits would have frequently been expunged by the system's algorithm.  However, half of any of the smerits that he earned since January 2018 would have been just building up in his personal smerit bank.  Accordingly, I believe that the most reasonable inference is that he manually increased his own smerit allocation, whether that was a short-term increase or a longer term inflation of the smerit supply (with the implication that he is going to begin to spend more smerits on a regular basis) is still unknown - unless he disclosed his thinking in the direction of his future smerit spending intentions.  (maybe I should do a quick research into the matter by stalking theymos's past posts?  nah.. I am just going to speculate and throw it out there as a tentative theory.... hahahahaha).

Come on theymos! Increase my source merit allocation :-D

Oh?  you are just concerned about your own smerit allocation.  I thought that you had just become an smerit source, and I thought that theymos had just increased the smerit allocations of almost all smerit sources.  Therefore, it seems way too premature to publicly request an increase in your own smerit allocation, unless you have some kind of personal circumstances that were overlooked?  Anyhow, I am thinking that when theymos assigned you as an smerit source, he already considered how much he would allocate to your source, and so it would likely be better to just try that out for a while, before asking for an increase in your smerit allocation.  Am I missing something?

Yeah! you are missing how to summarize a post. It seems I need to find someone who will give me a summarized report of your post so that I do not need to read the wall of text :-P

Anyway, jokes aside, I really do not go with a set of rules like giving out 1 merit or 2 merit and not more than that in a post. When I see a post and if it's merit worthy then I do not hesitate to send the merit. I judge the post and imagine a number that worth it and give it away if I have sMerit available.

The source I got was used I guess within a week. The reason was that I had a long list of post which I had to plan to merit. So once I was assigned as a merit source my source merit did not last long and if I am not wrong then even today I have no sMerit  LOL

By the way, I am not complaining but just explaining how it goes with me.

Yeah I have seen his posts in Wall Observers although I don't post much there. But I know few users from there and familiar with their posts. There is another 2Wall of text" guy and I am sure no one will disagree with me. It's The One Above All.

I don't see what he wrote above as a giant wall of text, though it was certainly a long post.  I have no real problem with that, either.  At least he puts a lot of effort into what he's writing, and I actually respect that quite a bit.  Nor is he a shitposter, and I base that on previous posts of his I've read.

TOAA = cunt
JJG = good people

Agreed, though I don't know JJG that well.  But compared to TOAA, everyone else might as well be Satoshi.

As far as this thread goes, every month I look at the rankings of the top merit-givers and I keep slipping downward despite trying to spread as many merits around as I can.  I guess that's a disappointment for me personally, but I'm really glad there are merit sources who are giving away such large amounts of merit.  The whole system would fail if that wasn't the case, so it's a good thing to see.

Slipped down into the 30’s myself too, I was always 27th or 28th. I think it’s since the source increase. I’m now sending 8 per day on average (not getting through my earned sMerit atm but I will hit somebody with a 30 or 40 one off amount if I see a great post)

8 per day is my allowance though so that’s what I’m going with.

I have updated the main table and chart on the first page of this thread.

According to Merit Stats, currently there are 98 active merits sources, but the detection algorithm has already spotted 111 merit sources (6 of them are the former merit sources for sure).

I also published monthly statistics for December 2019. LoyceV is the leader of this TOP-200 in the previous month.

My suspicion is that there is almost no way (unless I am understanding the situation incorrectly) that theymos merely had all those smerits in his reserve bank.  Of course, he had likely not been spending his smerits on a regular 30 day basis, so those smerits would have frequently been expunged by the system's algorithm.

I like your explanation. theymos merely reserved his sMerits for months and recently spent a lot of merits to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Bitcointalk.

I think JJG is correct,
But it is not a suspicion, it is a certainty confirmed by theymos himself in this thread of mine Merit spree is underway:

 

Who knows at the end of today, theymos will write: "I am out of sMerits, please help me all merit sources!"  

Code:

if($smerit+$source < $merits && $ID_MEMBER!=35)
    fatal_error("You do not have enough sendable merit.", false);

I guess the merit economy needed some emergency repo operations.

On a partially unrelated note: happy to be top spot on this special chart!

Due to respect to merit sources and the core ideas of keeping sources as in secret as possible, I don't give data on them here.

I have some summary statistics and box plots for the top 100 meriters, during whole time (2018w4 to 2020w2), and in specific years (2018, 2019).
From the raw tables, you can see the median of weekly gave-away merits from the top 100 meriters, over all 4 groups have increased over years. You can also see it from the box plot, medians represent by these lines inside each boxes.

There are some factors:

• They earned more by themselves.
• Their merit giving-away behaviour changed.
• Their monthly sMerit allocation increased

Expectation:
I do expect the median of weekly gave-away merits will keep increasing in the year 2020. New merit sources and new rising stars rock!
