How recognized are you in the bitcointalk world?

[whywefight]

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

[LFC_Bitcoin]

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 swap you my Loyce, JayJuanGee & Lauda for your Vod?

Thanks for the archive, one less step for me.

The 2nd post of this thread could have certainly been better inspiration for Vod to adjust the merit calculations:

Seems like plagiarism to me??

However, the most important point is:
I believe that old forum users will not care about this.

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.

I think it is fantastic, a great guideline

@Vod great work

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.

Congrats on your progress.

I like your ideas. The more stats the better!

[hopenotlate]

Good job with your site. If I were you I'd have messed up with the stats and calculation to overcome Theymos in  the leaderboard  

Btw if someone still didn't point out there are a couple of typos in  privacy page

Big mistake including me at #23. My ego will now bloat to occupy all positions between #15 and #30.

How often does it update & WTF does parsed mean?

[ibminer]

How often does it update & WTF does parsed mean?

Is this what you are looking for?

Recognition and Merit are updated every minute.  Posts, Activity and Trust are updated when your profile is parsed.

(Profiles are parsed by using the "Update profile" link on the profile page of the account)

As for what "parsed" means, wikipedia probably summarizes it best:
"A parser is a software component that takes input data and builds a data structure."

You appear to be operating on the assumption that they are different than me. Have you sufficiently ruled that out?

Regardless, Vod has a habit of following my posts fairly closely, so he probably did make the decision to upgrade the formula after reading the suggestion from QS. I don’t see any other reason why he would announce the change exactly 8 hours, 29 minuets, 45 seconds after I brought up the point.

Self plagiarism is a form of plagiarism, it's probably worse because then it's just copy and pasting.

Talking about ourselves in third person now are we?

Also yes, the profiles are updated whenever the "update profile" link is pressed or when they are automatically updated (they will be automatically updated in a queue unless the profile is in archived mode).

[ibminer]

Yes, I've sufficiently ruled out that "they" are not you. Clearly you didn't even look at my archive links.
You are welcome to prove me wrong though. Until then, it wasn't your idea.

Regardless of why Vod did it, this thread clearly shows you trying to claim credit for another members idea, which is plagiarism.
Again, you are always welcome to prove this otherwise.


EDIT: (above for clarity, below for suchmoon - and to try and not derail this thread too much with additional posts)

I like where this is going. What's the over-under for Quicksy's permaban?

Well, if we are going to go by the logic that Quickseller's himself is using:

I don’t see any other reason why Quickseller would come up with his idea exactly 1 hour, 2 minutes and 53 seconds after LoyceV last brought up the point...

I think the airdropped Merit shouldn't count, that would put nullius a lot higher. Now many Legendary accounts fill the top 1000 because of the initial Merit, just like old accounts fill the Activity already.

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

It seems no matter whether I use my own logic or Quicksellers, odds are pretty good it's plagiarism, by definition. Just calling it like I see it.

[legendster]

I was thinking of starting a "who's avatar is this? " contest, but I think I'll let somebody else do it.

That would be fun. Sort of like a ‘How well do you know Bitcointalk’ quiz.

I'd be amazed if someone recognized my original legendster avatar that i put on occasionally these days (cough signature campaigns cough) but had it on for like forever between 2013 and 2017.

You should go ahead with this @jetcash and couple this with your English tutorial and netiquette courses

[jeffthebaker]

Maybe there should be an average between "Merit" and "Merited" in the recognition calculations? There should be some reward as a longstanding member...

I'm not biased... I swear...

Activity is the reward for being a longtime member.  Just registering and doing nothing does not help you get recognized.

Again, you are always welcome to prove this otherwise.

That is nonsense. Multiple people can have the same idea, as great minds often think alike. Further, nowhere have I claimed to be the first to publish this idea, but rather, it was, and remains to be my assertion that Vod made the change in his formula as a direct result of reading my post, and agreeing with my statement.

You appear to be operating on the assumption that they are different than me. Have you sufficiently ruled that out?

Self plagiarism is a form of plagiarism, it's probably worse because then it's just copy and pasting.

You are wrong. It is in fact very common for people to make the same statement multiple times.

[/quote]No, I was talking about Vod reading a post from my QS account.

Since no one has bothered to address this issue, I will explain it:

There are 8 hours in a typical work day, and Vod works really hard to discredit me, even though he knows deep down I am almost always right. For the minutes, 2 less than 9 is 7, and there are 7 natural wonders in the world, and Vod is wondering when I will post next and about what. Also, 2 plus 9 is 11, and there are 11 characters in "Quickseller". Also, 4 plus 5 is 9, it takes 9 months to have a baby, and Vod often acts like a baby when dealing with me. 

[hilariousetc]

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

Todl? A new bitcointalk meme may have just been born.

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

Yeah, I like it. Maybe we should crowdfund it to get some cards professional printed. Satoshi could be the rarest card of them all  .

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.

Haha. You know it. I'd happily throw some merit at that for some good designs.

[athanz88]

Wow how come I never find this gem before? This is an interesting list you made based on the score you calculate Vod. Marvelous work you have done for this, i bet it took you a lot of times. To be number 401 in this list is such an honor for me, thanks for that, and i will try to climb my way up.

For this perfect work, can i add something Vod? Maybe it is a good idea if we can sort the data per category, like ascending and descending of registration date, since we can see other things like "do older account is more recognized or not" etc.

Thanks for your time reading this. Let me know your answer about my suggestion. I take any comments.
