How recognized are you in the bitcointalk world?

[TheBeardedBaby]

Edit: Wait for it... trading cards.

We'll tokenize the trading cards by creating a Ethereum smart contract and a shiny ICO to go with it!

Sounds a bit like the Crypto All Stars cards, that came s few months ago and the whole crypto-trading Twitter world went crazy.

I am ranked 252.
Not bad at all, for somebody who doesn't trade on this forum.

I actually think bitcointalk trading cards could be a cool idea.

Why do I feel like someone has been working on this all day. Can't wait for the bounty.

I actually bet there would have been a dozen mockups, if they felt the merit were flowing.

That's neat I had no idea. I love how a bunch of them bought their own cards to boost the numbers.

But should we use Satoshi's high school or college photo for the rookie card. I also want there to be a piece of pink concrete called gum in the pack.

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

If new ranking system implememented and based on the suggestion of @LoyceV, it should only take earned merits into considerations.
Automatically allocated merits at the launch day of merit system makes non-sense. Why? Because the allocated merits based on activity-count and the potential new ranking system should avoid overlaps between activity counts and merit counts.
Contributions of forum users should mainly base on earned merits, not total merits - which include both allocated merits and earn merits.

I don't agree with your suggestion. We cant measure the contribution of forum users only looking at their earned merits. Even though Merit system introduced recently, that doesn't mean members who are active (active and contributed as well) way before the implementation of Merits weren't contributed to the forum at all. We can't take that part entirely from the total picture.

Instead of that suggestion, I would like to suggest if we can put a weighting factor for initial (airdropped) Merits when taking account into the calculations of contribution rank would be fair.

My suggestion is 0.75(Weighting factor) for earned merits and 0.25(Weighting factor) for initial merits.

[krogothmanhattan]

Was todl i am on a list...had to check it out.

And I am at 42!  

Nice job Vod. Will keep this on my to check list.

Didnt know there were such things! Cheers!

You maybe right at this point!
However, the most important point is:
I believe that old forum users will not care about this.
Why?
Because if those guys are real constructive users, not pseudo-constructive ones, they will surely earn lots of merits in the future (and actually got hundreds of merits months after the start day of the system).
If months after the start day of merit system, Hero or Ledgendary members can not earn any merit or just very limited merits, what does it mean?
It means that those guys are very lucky ones, who fortunately ranked up to highest ranks in the forum via the old ranking system.
I called they are at somewhat extent, effortlessly high-ranked members.

It's not a bad idea.
If you want to take both earned and allocated merits, weights are essential things.
So, next question, which weights should be allocated (yeah, automatically allocated weights) based on their ranks and their allocated merits?

Instead of that suggestion, I would like to suggest if we can put a weighting factor for initial (airdropped) Merits when taking account into the calculations of contribution rank would be fair.

Your suggested weights look good because it allocates bigger impacts on earned merits. However, I think the allocated merits should have much smaller weights than yours.

My suggestion is 0.75(Weighting factor) for earned merits and 0.25(Weighting factor) for initial merits.

That is an idea someone should really consider doing.

I am sure my fellows in the collectables section would be interested.

If somone does wanna consider doing it they can always create a poll in collectables and see what the feedback says

(OMG - this is not a post about merit!  This is a post about Activity and Trust as well)   


I believe the three main pillars of a bitcointalk profile are Merit, Activity and Trust (MAT). 

Since I already rank everyone based on those attributes, I thought I would make a new attribute and call it "Recognition".

Everyone is scored 1-1000 for each pillar.  If you are not ranked you are scored 1000.  The totals are added up, and divided by three.

The result, a number from 1 to 1000 (lower is better), is your average ranking in this community - according to these three pillars anyway.  Personally, I was quite stunned at the results.  :/

I am still new on this forum and i would like to learn more on how to invest on bitcoin and to earn on it. I heard that one can earn great in bitcoin by taking advantage on its volatility. I guess that would be easy if i join on and buy bitcoin.

[mymenace]

There is one newbie on the list. deftnerd. IRL Adam Brown.

He has only 8 posts, no merit. Last time he logged was on October 09, 2017. But he received a lot of green trusts from his topic, where he sold steam codes

That's not really even that much trust..

Is Vod's code biased towards trust from Theymos?
It also counts untrusted feedback? Counts age beyond 10 months?
Or just a glitch..

Future proves past

I’m 118th

That’s pretty cool, I expected to be a lot lower.

I received a PM similar to this, saying older users were getting shafted by removing original merit from the equation.

Most Recognized stat shows how recognized the users are today.  Those users that are more active on this forum today are more recognized than the builders of bitcoin yesterday.

If there was historical information from years ago the list would be different, and of course this list does not represent the Bitcoin world - just this forum.

[Steamtyme]

And I am at 42!  

IMO that's the coolest spot on any numbered list exceeding 41.

Should a card exist your name would have to be written as
Krogath "the answer" manhattan

See question- Life, The universe and Everything.

Lol...and i would definitely be a buyer of that card too!

I do hope someone makes them. I am the ultimate bitcoin collector

Number 578, not too bad. My quest for world domination is making good progress.

For your next project how about a ranking list based on the cumulative number of their thread views? Would be interesting to see who has racked up the most thread views.

For each member you could also calculate their discussion power by dividing the cumulative thread comments into cumulative thread views. This could also be used to catch thread boosters, any suspicious member with too high a ratio might warrant further investigation.

[Quickseller]

Legendary members, or those who were legendary as of this past January have a significant advantage in this ranking as they started with 1000 merit so in general they will have a better merit ranking

(2 posts later)

I am going to change the front page to show Most Merited and base the recognition calculation on only the merit you have been given by other members.

Hey, thanks for taking my advice regarding your project into consideration.

I would appreciate it if you gave me credit for my inspiration. Maybe you could add something along the lines of to each page on your website:
Some ideas on this project were inspired by Quickseller

Thanks.  

edit: you can also write how much you look up to me in your website. (obviously this is a lot)

edit2: I am 172nd in most recognized.

[inPRIVACYweBELIEVE]

Me

Booked! When I become one you will definitely get hired  

So far yours is 1000 so you're off the list

No, it's ∞, ∞ and ∞ which makes 3∞/3 = ∞  
I am just kidding mate.

although I sense you will be

Yeah, hope someday I will. Thank you for the positive expectation.

Update: Surprise to see that you are not on the list!!

Having many thread views isn't necessarily a good thing, this would put the creators of Spam Megathreads and threads spammed with Bump Bots on top.

Edit: Wait for it... trading cards.

I'd buy those.  That would actually make a pretty neat collectible for bitcoiners and would be a nice snapshot of this little piece of bitcoin culture.  Instead of pictures of the people, you'd have to use avatars or something, but it could work.

Reminds me of those "snitch cards" they put out in prisons, with pictures of unsolved murder victims on them.  Someone had a deck of those at work, and apparently they're pretty collectible and can be found for big bucks on eBay.

Edit:  OK, not big big bucks, but way more than your average deck.

I'll wait for the scammer's version of it. Would be awesome!

I'd buy those too!
