[LOG] The ranked up members - Congratulations!

Doesn't matter how small the post is - always proof read your post.   

[erikoy]

Wow pretty sure rank and merit system really work and good for those who achieved to rank up. It is not easy to received merits however still users manage to rank up.

The good side? It is pretty obvious that user now tend to be good and do helpful contributions for the forum. This is the reward for the forum and a way against doing shitposts, scam and plagiarism. This is my opinion and I just realize that I myself too adding the problem of the forum when I was doing bounty campaign especially in the social media.

Now that the shitposts had been minimized we see now the essense of it. However, scamming is still there and it is very difficult to eradicate even outside the forum. It is just one of the major problem of the forum even in the future still will be seeing scam activities.

Anyway, Congratulations to the users who just rank up!

[Coin-1]

The logs are now relevant for the last Friday.

Donator OgNasty earned many merits and now has more than 2000 merit. Brilliant!

This week nullCoiner who is active on the German local board has ranked up to Legendary.

Cryptotourist and MoparMiningLLC are new Hero Members.
alegotardo who is active on the Portuguese local board has also reached this level.

Leviathan.007 became a Sr. Member.
Kavelj22 who is active on the Arabic local board has also achieved the same position.

pakhitheboss has been promoted to a Full Member.
GeorgeJohn has also received enough merits to reach this level but does not have sufficient activity.

Congrats on ranking up!

It should be noted that 50 users have more than 2000 merits:

You can add a list of members who have more than 4000 merits in the OP. Only 9 users have more than 4000 merits.

Undoubtedly, those 9 users are the most recognized and respected contributors to the forum.

Since Legendaries who were awarded 1000 airdropped merits on January 24, 2018, cannot rank up, I decided to add the fifth list with the primary purpose of showing those of them who have earned 1000 merits.

Perhaps I will maintain the sixth list in the future. I'll think about it.

I'm ten merits shy of 1,500 (less my gifted original one thousand) means I am close to "ranking up" as a Hero Member for a second time around.   

(How many would be on your sixth list I wonder?)

[Coin-1]

I have updated all tables and chart on the first page of this topic.

Paashaas earned a lot of merits and now owns more than 2000 merits.
d5000 who is active on the German local board has also crossed this merit number.
Amazing!

AlcoHoDL, TheUltraElite and JollyGood are new Legendaries!
bullrun2020bro and Artemis3 who are active on German and Spanish local boards respectively have also received enough merits to reach this level but do not have sufficient activity.

strawbs became a Hero Member.
yhiaali3 and Lachrymose who are active on Arabic and Turkish local boards respectively have also crossed this merit requirement but do not have enough activity yet.

bakasabo who is active on the Russian local board has ranked up to Sr. Member.
BlackHatCoiner and -CryptoViking- have also earned enough merits to achieve the same position but have no sufficient activity.

SatsLife, Smartvirus and Review Master have been promoted to Full Members.
~DefaultTrust who is active on the Russian local board has also reached this level.

Cheers!

I'm ten merits shy of 1,500 (less my gifted original one thousand) means I am close to "ranking up" as a Hero Member for a second time around.  

As far as I can see, you have created and maintain a useful thread spotting "known alts of anyone", so maybe you will earn 1000 merits in the future. Now you are 5 merits closer to become a "Self-made Hero Member". Good luck!

(How many would be on your sixth list I wonder?)

The merit requirement will be doubled and quadrupled. I assume that I will maintain another two additional lists of users who have over 4000 and 8000 merits. The chart probably will not illustrate the number of such members.

I haven't counted the number of merits for quite a while now, but it comes in at 113 merits just for the OP of the Known Alts thread (there's a handful of other posts in that thread I've picked up merits for).  People have been very generous and it inspires me to keep investigating & maintaining the thread.

Just a suggestion, perhaps in blocks of 2,500...

i.e.

 1,000
 2,500
 5,000 then
10,000

[Coin-1]

The user who has 2000 merits is undoubtedly a Self-made Legendary, so in my opinion this notch should be mentioned. Then I used the logic of increasing the requirements for the merits of Hero Member and Legendary, so I just multiplied this number by 2 in the same way. Consecutive doubling looks simpler.

[Cadaver20]

Another update.
Cadaver20, DougM, Oshosondy and Bitcoin SV became Full Members.

Yes, finally done...  

@Coin-1 ► Thank you very much for mentioning!  
I also know some of your other threads, and always find them very informative, if i have a few merits left to give for rank up users.

Good work, keep it up...

You're welcome.

[DdmrDdmr]

I just awarded @Heisenberg_Hunter 0,3% of the total amount of merits required to become a Legendary, thus he has said farewell to his Hero rank and welcome to his novel Legendary rank … He's the 109^th forum member to rank-up to Legendary, needing merits in the event.

[GazetaBitcoin]

My saga inside this topic started on November 29th, 2019, when Coin-1 announced I was promoted to Full Member. It happened after 1 month since I earned my first merit (on October 25th, 2019):

The following users are new Full Members: axicron, tobyyola, nomteck1, palukritik, MrFreeDragon, Meddzs.
yehestielsiburian, rat03gopoh, GazetaBitcoin, yhiaali3 and WunderSchwein who are active in Indonesian, Philippine, Romanian, Arabic and Russian local boards respectively have also achieved this position.

Congratulations on ranking up!

I found about the existence of the topic a bit later, but when I found it I made a promise. And Coin-1 was there to encourage me!

I'm going to champion this account! Watch me!

I assume that you will be promoted to a higher position in the foreseeable future. My analyzer will watch your merit stats.

In January 2020 cryptoaddictchie gave me a challenge, which motivated me a lot:

I'll be happy to check what will be your contributions in the coming future and I'll bump into this post of you later on and see how close you are already to becoming a full fledged Legendary rank.

In February this year I had already enough merits for being Sr. Member, but not enough activity. Coin-1 mentioned me again and I also told him that I'll keep my promise. And he remembered

bkbirge is a new Sr. Member.
GazetaBitcoin who is active on the Romanian local board has also received enough merits to reach this level but has no sufficient activity.

Thank you, coin-1! I do my best! Neverthess, I am a man of honor! Remember these words of mine

Yes, I remember your promise. Now you have more than 250 merits, so I added you to the corresponding list.

I achieved the 250 merits for being Sr. Member in 109 days:

Thank you for mentioning me, Coin-1! I am glad that I reached that far in such a short time (109d 4h 59' 34"). I think I'll receive the "official" rank at the activity period update from April 8th.

Looking foward to the next rank (Hero), which should occur at the end of December. Of course, I hope I'll reach by then the necessary merit amount

Less than 2 months later, in April, I was promoted to Sr. Member and I had already 500 merits necessary for Hero, which I earned while being still a Full Member. Coin-1 mentioned this achievement as well:

YOSHIE and BITCOIN4X who are active on the Indonesian local board became Hero Members.
Kialara and GazetaBitcoin have also received enough merits to achieve this position, but they do not yet have sufficient activity.

Hehe I'm so glad each time when I see my name here It's a great honor for me, thank you, Coin-1! But a small observation, this time Besides obtaining the merits for Hero member (earlier with 240d 7h 8' 59" than the moment when my activity would allow me, I also managed to rank up to Sr. Member, but I think you didn't see that happening. No worries though

Also, as you see, I'm still trying to keep my previous promise:

I'm going to champion this account! Watch me!

Now I'll also try to obtain the Legendary rank. If I'll get 1000 merits, this should happen somewhere between 2021 Sept. 22nd and 2022 Jun. 6th Until then, I'll wait for the moment when the activity will allow me to become an official Hero member (most likely, on Dec. 2nd, 2020).

Cheers!

In June 2020 cryptoaddictchie correctly anticipated the inevitable :

Wow your merit requirement for Hero has been surpass and even halfway on Legendary, I think you will reach Hero while completeing required merits for legendary rank. Congrats in advance.

And I replied to him that I'm still on-track with the challenge:

I'll be happy to check what will be your contributions in the coming future and I'll bump into this post of you later on and see how close you are already to becoming a full fledged Legendary rank.

I hope that my posts quality met your standards And I'm still keeping my word!

I'm going to champion this account! Watch me!

At the last update, from October 2020, Coin-1 announced this great milestone I reached in less than a year:

hosseinimr93 is a new Legendary!
GazetaBitcoin who is active on the Romanian local board has earned enough merits to rank up to Legendary but he does not have sufficient activity.

So I championed this account as I said! I kept my promise. Of course, I won't stop here, as at the moment I am just a Sr. Member and in order to finally become Legendary I still need between 1 year and 1 year and 8 months of activity. But the merits for this position are achieved, with two ranks ahead.

Thank you cryptoaddictchie for the challenge from January! It motivated me a lot.

Thank you Coin-1 for keeping this log up to date. It's a great motivation for any user to see his name here. Maybe it motivates each one to keep improving more and more and to see his name here again. To be honest, I can't wait to see my name here for the next time, when I'll officialy become a Hero. It will happen in January 2021.

nakamura12 became a Sr. Member.

I also want to take this occasion and congratulate nakamura12 for his recent rank up. He is the second person from the entire forum which gave me a merit. And I won't forget that! Keep the good contribution, nakamura, and you will keep ranking up in no time! Congrats!

Yep... the merits have been achieved for Legendary.. and also largely the number of posts seem to be enough too..  because in order to become Legendary, you have to average at least 14 posts per every two week period, which you seem to have achieved (even currently - ahead of schedule).

So, surely the only matter left is to gain activity points, and for you, it appears that so long as you post at least one post every two weeks, then you will have reached the requirements of the legendary lottery which can happen anywhere between 2 years and 3 years of the beginning of your account.. which would be activity levels of somewhere in the range of 728 and 1092 (something like that).  Even though merits were not an issue for me, I am pretty sure that I was over 1,000 activity points when I finally ranked up through the Legendary lottery.

[GazetaBitcoin]

Even though merits were not an issue for me, I am pretty sure that I was over 1,000 activity points when I finally ranked up through the Legendary lottery.

Oh well... merits weren't an issue for me as well I obtained them in less than a year (357 days, precisely). But yes, the wait for obtaining the activity is huge. It passed 1 year from my first merit and I have to wait at least 1 more year from now on (for reaching 775 activity) and a maximum of 1 year and 8 months (for reaching the 1030 activity, if I'll have that bad luck to rank up at the maximum required activity). Patience is a virtue though...

Don’t worry Gazeta, grinding activity is way less fun than grinding merits, but it’s a game of attrition! I know I am not good at it either!

[GazetaBitcoin]

We're both engaged in Sisyphus role, dear fillippone. On our LONG ways to reach the necessary activity for becoming Legends You are head away of me though, but still, the waiting is long. However, we are not the first on this path and (hopefully) not the last. If others made it, we can do it as well!

[blue Snow]

blue Snow who is active on the Indonesian local board has also reached this level.

Thanks for mentioning me up.

My friend in local board AhmadM had ranked up to Senior member. He got enough merit to achieve his rank yesterday.

congratulations to AhmadM.

Weekly update.

But the merits for this position are achieved, with two ranks ahead.

Yes, you fulfilled your promise. I'm not surprised you earned 1000 merits so quickly. I have read your threads about cypherpunks and the history of Bitcoin and found them very laconic and informative. I guess soon you will be included in the list of users who have over 2000 merits.

My friend in local board AhmadM had ranked up to Senior member. He got enough merit to achieve his rank yesterday.

congratulations to AhmadM.

This week AhmadM was added to the corresponding list.

[nullius]

Forking hell that is impressive dude

Thanks.  By a simple count across my three active periods since the introduction of the merit system, it took a total of not more than 310 days’ worth of real activity to achieve this:

The lucky merit landed on a post which took me way too long to write, edit, and fancily format.  It covers briefly (!) as practicable (!!) a relatively obscure book which draws East-West cultural comparisons, my agreements and disagreements with Solzhenitsyn, and the cultural relevance of ancestor-worship to posterity.  I did not realistically expect to be much lauded for that.  (Preview-page edit:  My prediction was a wee bit off the mark:  It received another merit whilst I was writing this!)

I brag about my crossing of the all-earned 2000 merit threshold only to rub it in, for in the time since early January:

• I have had the opportunity to elaborate more about my opinions on controversial subjects.  (I did touch on such topics before, but perhaps nobody noticed.)  I would be far from the only one to have remarked that this can induce some people to be biased against meriting posts that they would otherwise deem meritorious.  As an advocate of free speech and freethinking, I have refused to stay strictly within the narrow confines of what can nowadays be called “popular”, or even “socially acceptable”.  The merit system does not affect my decision-making process as such; but it provides insight into the behaviour of others, both for better and for worse.
• At least one known merit source has publicly alleged that she has me ignore-listed.  (Oh, why do some idiots fantasize that that may bother me?)
• I have made very few posts in the technical forum, which has always been the most reliable place for me to earn merits.
• You, TMAN, seem not to be here to express your refined taste for my prolific fan art for a kitty-cat who is now nonexistent. :-(

Although my merit earning rate has slowed, and my merit/activity ratio will probably plunge after I start taking my retirement plans seriously, it does go to prove that thus far, at least, quality still trumps all else.

[Coin-1]

All lists on the front page are current as of the last Friday, November 13, 2020.

nullius earned a lot of merits and now has more than 2000 merits! Impressive!

Gozie51 and CryptoYar are new Sr. Members.
Altryist who is active on the Russian local board has also achieved the same position.

spatialiste became a Full Member.
XEOP$ who is active on the Russian local board has also received enough merits to reach this level but he does not have the required activity points.

Congratulations on ranking up!

I brag about my crossing of the all-earned 2000 merit threshold only to rub it in, for in the time since early January:

Your bragging is not unfounded. I remember in early 2018 you earned hundreds of merit in a couple of months, but then you were inactive on the forum for a quite long time. I think you could cross this threshold much faster. Good work anyway!
