Edit: Data updated as of 26/04/2019.I was asked recently if I had any update on the merit streaks, and the truth is I had not taken a look into it since I created the OP back in August 2018. I’ve now updated the OP in this thread with the current awarded merit streaks, and while being at it, added it to the Merit Dashboard (last tab called "Received Merit Streaks"). On the
Merit Dashboard you can easily filter by user or section/subsection to see all the received merit streaks.
The previous version of the OP can be seen here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20190430091758/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4981102.0Difficult at it seemed at the time, @nullius’s 31 day merit streak (merited days in a row) has been surpassed by 5 new additional streaks, setting the current record at
90 days! (see below).
Note: Days are calculated as they are in the Merit.txt file (UTC).
1. IntroductionWhat I have done on this occasion is determine the merit streaks associated to different users. a Merit streak is a number of consecutive days (with no gaps in between) on which the user is awarded with merit. I've had this in mind for some time, but hadn’t gone forth with the idea since calculating the streaks was not as simple as I thought initially.
The best streaks are often dated back in the earlier days of the Merit System. When a forum member (or a subsection) has more than one streak with the same number of days, the most recent once is inventoried on the lists shown below.
Common column shown are as follows:
Rank: Current user rank.
Name: Username.
UserId: Bitcointalk UserId.
From: Initial streak date.
Until: Ending streak date.
nMerit: Merit involved in the listed streak for the given user.
nDays: Duration of the streak in days.
nMsg: Number of distinct posts merited in the streak.
URL: User URL
Note: I also calculated the merit streaks from the senders point of view, but adding them here just made the post too long and I think the receiver streaks are more interesting really.2. Top 50 Receiver StreaksThe following is a list of the top 50 streaks during which forum members have received sMerit (may require horizontal and vertical scroll on some screens):

micgoossens has the longest streak to date, having received sMerit for 90 days in a row, totalling 604 sMerits during that streak.
Last of the V8s comes second with a streak of 61 days, followed by
suchmoon with 37 days. All these three top streaks are rather recent, and surpass those established in the early days of the Merit System.
Some forum members appear various times on the list with multiple streaks amongst the top 50.
LoyceV for example holds 8 entries in the top 50 merit streaks.

Long streaks per section/subsection are more difficult to obtain.
Last of the V8s holds the record here in the Economics subsection (Wall Observer thread essentially), with a 61 day streak.
suchmoon holds the second longest streak, being merited for 30 days in a row on Meta, whilst
ICOEthics was awarded merit for 25 days in a row on the Trading Discussion board. There are quite a few streaks of just a few days, nearly all on the Local boards, which goes to show that even the most merited there have difficulties.
4. Merit Dashboard screenThe implemented Merit Dashboard screen look like this:
![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fxg0tNAu.png&t=665&c=65J9cVwUIoyzag)
The above shows all my received sMerit streaks:
- Top left shows all my global streaks, ordered by the number of days implied. In my case, my to streak is of 27 consecutive days receiving sMerit in a row, between the 24/02/2019 and the 23/03/2019. I obtained 173 merits during that streak.
- Top right summarizes the number of occurrences of each merit streak. In my particular case, I have 1 27 day streak, 1 18 day streak, 1 16 day streak, 2 15 day streaks, and so on.
- Bottom left shows my streaks by forum section/subsection. The image shows that I've been merited 16 days in a row on Meta between the 12/09/2018 and the 27/07/2018. If I were to scroll down further (or apply section/subsection filters), I would be able to see that my max streak is of 4 days in a row on my Spanish local board (the record goes to @Seoincorporation with 5 there), being also 4 days in a row in Beginners and Help.
- The botton right summarizes the number of occurrences of each merit streak of mine (since I’ve filter by my profile) by section/subsection. In Beginners & Help for example, my personal record streak is of 4 days in a row (once), having made 3 days in a row eight times, 2 days in a row on 6 occasions, and single days 26 times.
