99th most merited... nooo  

As the desire for merit intensifies, and my merit rank naturally dwindles due to lack of activity, I don't expect to be in the top 100 for long. So at this time, before I fall off the top 100 list, I'd like to thank all my merit fans who supported me through my time of meritorious posts. And, to theymos for creating the merit system. Without you all, this obviously wouldn't have been possible!   I'd of course like to thank my family for putting up with the hours of time spent here, and I'd like to thank Vod for creating the BPIP ranking system in the first place.

I will now take a bow, and move about my day graciously.

LOL - You moved down to 98.

Heh .. heh, all is well..   down to 92nd now. Maybe I posted too soon.. I think it may have just been my subconscious mind desiring to post a new badge picture, interacting with my conscious mind, which was sad it was going to disappear from my profile page... whew, I need some rest ... At this point, only place left to go is > 50.

What number ranges did we eventually use for the different badges?

[Don Pedro Dinero]

I've also been moving down for the past months, even though I don't get a lot of merit. Any idea why that is?

I remember being the 325th most merited not so long ago.

<=10 Gold
<=50 Silver
<=100 Bronze

Why else would I aim for >50?

Given the circumstances, you seem to get a reasonable amount of merit. Maybe others above you are also not being active or not getting merit and falling in the numbers.

Hmm, there are 24 even numbers between 1 and 50 - are you 24 years old?

Sound logic, indeed.. I did say I was tired not too long ago in this thread, don't confuse me. lol

Only 18 merits needed to move that many places, as long as the people between 267 and 325 did not get any merit.

And you've gotten 27 merits in the past month.. some good mathematics going on here.

Hey  , I noticed that the domain name registration bittalk.me ends 2018-11-05.
This may be useful to you for the next interesting idea related to the forum. 
best regards

Thanks!

I believe BPIP is a unique(ish) phrase that could eventually be more recognized than bittalk. 

[El duderino_]

I recognize the first 17 names. #18 posts on Mining/Hardware, and indeed, I don't go there.
Around Rank 100, I still recognize most of the names.
From (about) Rank 400 downwards, I recognize less than half the names.

I'd say the fastest way up this list is gaining trust, high Activity is only for people who have been here longest.

For consideration:
If you're counting the initial (airdropped) Merit, which was based on Activity, aren't you double counting Activity?

actualy how do you gain TRUST ? i consider myself to be trustful, (like not scamming or any crazy things.....) but how to gain it in the forum?
cause from day one its just 0-0 with me......

and i do like some positive GREEN on my trust

[Steamtyme]

It really comes down to having interactions on the forum where someone had to place trust in you or the way you would conduct yourself.Some people get positive trust from trades, some get it for actively fighting scams.

The trust that really affects things (due to visibility) comes from members of DT, otherwise it doesn't show up on your score for everyone else to see.

Not sure if all trust is taken into account here or just trust left by DT members.

[OgNasty]

Not sure if all trust is taken into account here or just trust left by DT members.

Depends on the individual's trust settings that are viewing the rating and who they've included in their trust network.  By default, any trust left by DT1 or members they've added to DT2 is taken into account here.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

actualy how do you gain TRUST ? i consider myself to be trustful

I've said this before:  We judge ourselves by our intentions but judge others by their actions.  You might very well be a great guy who would never scam anyone, but if you haven't demonstrated that here (especially to a DT member if it's green trust you seek), you're not going to be recognized as a trusted person.

I don't know what you've done on the forum, but the last feedback you got was a neg for shitposting.  If you're not doing deals with people and/or not busting scammers, you won't be rewarded with green trust.  Also, people tend to look very suspiciously at members here who state that they're looking to gain trust.  Doesn't mean you're a scammer, but it makes people question your intentions.

And dang, now I'm #40 on the bpip list.  I soooo don't deserve to be ranked that high.  There has got to be a flaw in Vod's algorithm or something.  I can barely recognize who I am sometimes, so I'm fairly sure I shouldn't be that recognized as a member of bitcointalk.

I have my trust setting to level 4. So you have a green rating of 9 in my book.

The list is heavily weighted to make merit much more valuable than it is and not give credit to contributions made prior to the merit system's introduction.  That's why you see relatively new members without meaningful contributions but tons of merit ranked so highly (not directed at you), while users with household names like Gavin Andresen who have been influential in the community since before any of us heard of Bitcoin are considered unrecognizable per their rank.  No system is perfect and I'm sure there will be adjustments down the line as Vod's site is still very new and he has been actively developing it.

OG, the site doesn't rank you based on how many merit you have, but how many you have compared to others. 

If merit is easy to get, it would be easy to get for everyone.

Thanks, I understand that about the trust system in general.

I meant I wasn't sure how it was rated with BPIP, whther it was only green trust from DT2 and DT1 that was considered or all feedback.

And dang, now I'm #40 on the bpip list.  I soooo don't deserve to be ranked that high. 

You may be to close to see it, but with being a DT member and very active in some sections you fit the category of recognizable on the forum.
