Re: LoyceV vs theymos (and get your own Merit graph: up to 20 users per graph)

[LoyceV]

Clickbait title, but you're here, so it worked


Updated up to theymos' latest data dump (last Friday morning).

Any requests?
Posts 2 (or more) profiles and I'll get you a graph. Please use this format with only userIDs:

Code:

976210 879277 867786 820936

Up to 20 users per request, don't include users without earned Merit.
NEW: To make the legend in the graph easier to read, I'll sort them by earned Merit.

Data source
http://loyce.club/Merit/merit.all.txt (format: time amount msg user_from user_to) (explained in LoyceV's Merit data analysis)

No spam.
You can count deleted posts at the top of this topic Oh yeah

Thank you.

I'm sorry to say but you got no chance against theymos

He invented the system. I mean, he got 1405 Merit just for announcing Merit You can't beat that
Seriously though, it feels like a race sometimes.

Every time I get close to satoshi, he jumps up 50+ Merits

I like how the graphs show "initial fame": a straight line up right at the beginning means Merit was earned for past fame. I didn't have much of that, DdmrDdmr had nothing at all. Until just now, I didn't know he started out as a "bounty spammer":

It took him a while to start earning Merit, and from there on it's been a straight line up. That literally makes him the best example of what a Newbie can accomplish within the current restrictions, if he puts a lot of effort in his posts.

True, but he's smarter than average IMO.  Very good with math & data analysis, and it shows--much like when nullius was around and used to write masterpieces just for his typical posts.  It's true that starting from scratch and earning tons of merits is possible, but it just isn't going to happen for the average newbie.

I'd like to see just this graph, because we look to be so correlated it's ridiculous.  I don't think either of us had that initial jump in merits, either.  It's interesting to see how that happened, because you can clearly see how crazy the early days of the merit system were and how quickly everyone's sMerits ran out (merit sources excluded).  People were handing out insane amounts of merit in the first few days and probably didn't realize how important they'd become.

Thanks for the graphs, LoyceV.

I was apparently a slow starter … first merit on the 24/02/2018 (me) vs 25/01/2018 (you).

I could have been knocked-off the board pretty soon though …:

A month ago, I got about 800 accounts nuked for spamming @AlexPromotion.

Today, I stumbled upon this thread:

#Joinedairdrop          #obirum
Telegram username : @kamaljeetsambyal
Bitcointalk username: kamaljeetsambyal
Bitcointalk link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php
Eth address : 0x4ea90b4E5D0677d2726f8242c9b9a55636414922

I think he accidentally created a new thread, instead of spamming in their "normal" spam thread.

After further investigation, it turns out many spammers are posting among others their Eth address for some token airdrop. This is against the rules, although quite common on the bounty board.
I created a list of all Newbies who posted the words "obirum" and "airdrop" in the 5 past days. This list has 374 unique participants.

I've only checked a few manually, they're not exclusively posting this spam: some of them post some "normal" posts, but most of them post all kinds of spam.

Question for Mods: Is this worth nuking all of them? If so, I'll keep making lists like this. If not, I won't.

My Nuke list for consideration (I choose clickable over code-tags):
<…>
DdmrDdmr
<…>

@mprep and other mods apparently nuked quite a few from the list. Saved by the whistle …


I did explain my initial steps rather well here on the B&H board for others to understand:

<…> When I joined the forum, I did it during the great hype period, and was genuinely intrigued by all this virtual community world. Being myself rather an anti-social network sort of creature, I took it with an exploratory spirit, wanting to unveil both something about myself, and about what the forum was about and the surrounding mass hype.<….>

The post goes on a fair bit more. I kind of felt it was confession day or something of the sort …

Sure:

we look to be so correlated it's ridiculous

Alts confirmed. It's clear now: suchmoon has been on top slightly longer.

Lol It turns out LoyceV vs DdmrDdmr started on February 13, 2018 already. I never knew that How did you find this?
I've also posted lists including my own name, but your name wasn't obvious at all back then.
The ones above and under your name are all nuked. The Mods did a good job excluding you. Creating a long list is quite easy, manually checking the accounts before nuking them is a lot of (boring) work. Well done Mods

Requesting achow101 vs gmaxwell, please.

Before using @Piggy’s @Maggiordomo, I used to use the forum search function, searching for myself out of curiosity (specially in relation to non English/Spanish boards). I once stumbled with that nuke list post, and remembered it was there ... I could not find it on Google today, but the forum search worked fine and brought it back in a second.

I may have less time I can scratch from work & play in the weeks to come, so I expect the lines to diverge somewhat …

[LoyceV]

Requesting achow101 vs gmaxwell, please.

Good choice!

[TMAN]

"if" you get the time me v SmartPayMINT

[pugman]

Oh damn! BOT TIME!!!

ME vs chipmixer participants. Let's do an orgy of stats.

ALSO, I DARE YOU TO MAKE A CHART COMPARING THE MERIT RECEIVED BY THE CULT OF LAUDA,if you get the time of course and if it is possible.

[DarkStar_]

Me versus actmyname and HCP please

[LoyceV]

Oh damn! BOT TIME!!!

Not really: it takes a fraction of a second to extract the data, but about 10 minutes to create and post the graph. I'll need some more scripting before I process the requests (tomorrow).

Where is data sourced from? What is being used to create the graph? The later shouldn't take that long.

[Lauda]

http://loyce.club/Merit/merit.all.txt

What are columns 4 and 5? "User from" & "user to"?

Yes

Thanks.
