[FUN] Is DdmrDdmr even human?

[Razmirraz]

Never beg for merit, it's not justified and I think it will annoy anyone making you more likely to be ignored. Do it naturally where you only need to prove it with the quality of the posts you have. There are many users who want to help, this is not limited to merit source because users of non-merit source can also play an active role in the distribution of merit.

No, he's not begging, I caught something positive in @indah rezqi post. He just wants to interact with @fillippone as one of the most generous Merit Sources the forum has ever had, @fillippone also has his own point of view in defining the intent of the content of the post above.
True, begging for merit is not allowed here, I think @indah rezqi also knows about this. Recently he just got a notification from the most generous Merit Sender and he deserves it for the quality of the posts he has.

@DdmrDdmr and @fillippone are two of the unique merit source, they have spent quite a bit of their sMerit every month and I think they are competing for the best.

Luckily we can have these two Merit Source, I also don't exclude other Merit Source, their contribution is very big on the forum, I think only a small number of users are able to contribute more like them.

Honestly, I can only shake my head looking at the list of the most generous Merit senders above, if my name was on the list, it would be very happy for me. 
On the other hand, I also have the intention to be able to play an active role in the distribution of merit. Although the number of sMerit that I distribute is still far less than other users, I am very happy to be able to do so.

[fillippone]

I think most of the top merit senders on that list are sending a massive amount, and also receiving a decent amount too, and are relatively active, so I don't think the list will change massively this side of the year. Obviously, the latest figures of 30 days is close, but I tend to favour long term data when its available, as it's generally more accurate. Obviously, not always.

Of course the bulk of my outgoing merits are the Merit Source allowance, but I reckon my personal stash of sMerits is not negligible.
To me, the important thing is that every Merit Source take part in merit distribution, with any criteria, and pace, of their choice.

Not sure if that's the case, but fillippone definitely has the advantage considering the amount of merits they receive compared to DdmrDdmr, and the amount they send. Using the longest available data on the forum (120 days); fillippone has sent 4149 merits, and received 1377, while DdmrDdmr has sent 2640, and received 780. So, DdmrDdmr has their work cut out for them if they want to compete in the long term .

Generally @DdmrDdmr sent out 1-2 merits in each TX on the forum while @fillippone has habit of giving out 3 per TX and if you see in recent thread about some private keys you might be aware of he has sent out 50 merits also in one TX to the members so you see there was lot of merit distribution from his side in past 120 days and have earned also quite well with his threads and posts.

While @DdmrDdmr has also sent out merits in past 120 days and we might see another merit spree from his side and you would see additional 200-250 merits being sent out in that spree taking his total high again and be on the generous merit source list.

suchmoon is probably the most noteworthy, being ahead by quite some bit, but not sending as much as the others in the last 120 days. Actually, receiving more merit, than sending it, which isn't common for those in the top 10.

Although he is the number one merit sender on the forum with 41074 smerits in forum duration while if we see about the past 120 days then he has earned 399 merits and sent out total of 228 and he also has the habit of sending most of 1-2 smerits in each Tx but that's fine as his wish and all have different ways of sending out merits.

And if we speak about merit speed what this thread is about then there's nobody near the flash @DdmrDdmr in that case.

I think anyone who knows these two merit sources well and also interacts with them quite often on the forum, then they know about the statistics of both. @DdmrDdmr is losing out on merit earnings compared to @fillippone, while he's having fun sending more tx's on 1829 profiles so far. @fillippone varies a bit and I see it more often than not having a higher nMerit/tx than @DdmrDdmr. Honestly I wouldn't compare the two too much, but for sure we have a record of their stats. They both still lost from @suchmoon and @LoyceV in all-time stats, but they have been in close competition in the last 30 days even though currently @fillippone is still in the lead.

At least I have doubted the veracity of what I assumed to be his goal by saying:

But wait, please don't get me wrong, I don't know exactly what your purpose is,

[fillippone]

Anyway, the purpouse of this thread is just the [FUN] of the merit spree, the joy of being poked by the robotic arm of @ddmrddmr.
Of course it's not a competition and I don't want to measure myself against @ddmrddmr!

This is not for nothing, just take it as part of how we proudly honor for you as good contributors to this forum doing free work for this forum system. @fillippone, you know we can't compare you to other merit sources all the time in this thread, but the thought is there and will probably be tucked away in some of our posts this time.

Anyway I'm still waiting for @DdmrDdmr's robotic hand to move again this month. Maybe I can hope he does on August 15th, like the last time on July 15th. But who knows, he could trigger his adrenaline anytime he wants.

Thanks for explaining it to me, hope I can understand what you are saying well. But really, I'm not begging anyone especially about merit and so far I haven't. I agree with what @Razmirraz said, at this point I would really like to interact with a lot of forum contributors because then I can really understand how this system works. Some people might think of it as licking, but I don't think so because actually I never thought it was good for getting merit.

I can only get it through post quality, that's what every merit source has been hoping for all along. If I can convince them with that, then I might have a good chance of getting a merit there. But I think we're off topic now, I hope nothing continues because at first I only focused on @DdmrDdmr and his merit distribution pattern.

[LoyceV]

They both still lost from @suchmoon and @LoyceV in all-time stats, but they have been in close competition in the last 30 days even though currently @fillippone is still in the lead.

I've been slacking in the past months as a Merit source. My source used to be close to zero, now it's usually around 100-200. I don't have the time to read more posts, and already drop 4-6 or more Merit per post most of the time.
So by all means, if you find good posts (that I can read): post them in Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source. I'd love to hold the 30 days record for a month. I must be of the biggest Merits hoarders by now, with over 2000 sMerits.

I could of course do what DdmrDdmr does, and dump them all on posts that I've Merited already, but that's a bit extreme

[skarais]

Looks like my guess was right, @DdmrDdmr did it today. He seemed to want to appear consistent about his timing in the last two months. I'm not counting how many smerits he spent in 2 minutes 34 seconds, maybe @fillippon will release the numbers soon. I got 2 of them in one tx, Lol.

LoyceV, if I can pull it off then I wouldn't hesitate to let you know in that thread for a post you can read, although I really wanted to get them for the sMerit I have. How about some of my posts?

I got 12, for the merits received in our local section in the last month. I guess everybody is happy about these remerit sprees, in my case a little bit more because it brings me closer to the next rank, Hero member.

What started out as a routine way to empty his smerits allocation, has become an expected event and a celebration for a few of us.

I am late on this one!

Merit Spree #24 by @ddmrddrmr
Official @ddmrddmr thread

Official Description:

Version 24 - 15/08/2022  (168 posts merited (by me) in just under 3 minutes) -> 180 sMerits
Remerited all my merited posts since my last spree (+ some backlogged pending ones), for non-banned users (from last friday backwards).

My review


I missed that because I was so sad about the event on the previous day (also related to ddmrddmr!)

[fillippone]

Merit spree detected!
My merit wrist band started buzzing, and a merit induced smile appeared on my face, puzzling my fellow humans that were with me in this particular moment.

I only got 1 merit from him, but when I realized that it was earn not on my most recent post, then I can totally convince myself that DdmrDdmr is in action again. I can see his transaction history today, it's really amazing.

Merit Spree #25 by @ddmrddrmr
Official @ddmrddmr thread

Official Description:

Version 25 - 11/09/2022 (1279 posts merited (by me) in just over 21 minutes) -> 1279 sMerits
Merited all posts that:
- I have not merited before.
- Have received merits from at least five different people since april 2022.
The goal is to merit post I have either ignored or not come across in boards I do not visit, and that others seem to deem merit worthy, allowing me to unload a bunch of sMerits in the process.

My review:

Yesterday, when my smartband started whirring I knew something big was going on, but not to big: this is by far the biggest merit spree so far.



Record number on every metric I was monitoring so far.
For this, I added another one: most merited users in this round.

Here’s the TOP20:

Code:

1.  o_e_l_e_o               37
2.  El duderino_            33
3.  BlackHatCoiner          23
4.  n0nce                   20
5.  cAPSLOCK                18
6.  LoyceV                  15
7.  dkbit98                 15
8.  LFC_Bitcoin             14
9.  icopress                14
10.  Hhampuz                14
11.  witcher_sense          13
12.  Pmalek                 12
13.  NotATether             12
14.  fillippone             12
15.  NeuroticFish           10
16.  krogothmanhattan       10
17.  garlonicon             10
18.  CryptopreneurBrainboss 10
19.  xhomerx10              9
20.  TryNinja               9

Impressive results form usual suspects!

Same here, same here. Just I've been at a concert, hence I didn't reply yesterday here.

but when I realized that it was earn not on my most recent post

Very good point.
Somehow I have a feeling that Ddmrddmr has done (intentionally or not) something different this time, with newer posts merited by him not getting re-merited at this merit spree, and older posts (even from April or May!) being re-merited.

According to the official description I posted above the rationale of this spree was indeed meriting posts he never did in the past. I think it’s a novelty, as as far as I can remember (didn’t check) he always remerited posts.

[NeuroticFish]

According to the official description

Oohh, I've missed that. Thank you. So it was intended, interesting...

[Pmalek]

Is DdmrDdmr even human?
He is a hybrid at least. Some sort of genetically engineered intelligent alien life form with extraordinary meriting abilities. Not an ASIC but an MSIC. A Merit-Specific Integrated Circuit. Show me proof that I am wrong if you can.   

[NeuroticFish]

Not an ASIC but an MSIC. A Merit-Specific Integrated Circuit. Show me proof that I am wrong if you can.   

Umm, you're wrong
An ASIC is built to make one operation. Since DdmrDdmr is more than capable to also post actually human-like logic and information, I would say that ASIC/MSIC is a huge understatement. Overly evolved AI? Maybe. But not a simple ASIC/MSIC.

Don't forget the hybrid part of my post. He can switch off his meriting machine anytime and go to a human state where he shows logic, humor, happiness, anger, understanding, and everything else our fine breed is capable of expressing. DdmrDdmr you are not fooling anyone. I see you!
