Let me help you a little, I had some early records, but unfortunately no dates.
Anyway here what I have as info >
I just saw now that the merit sources are 77 now. This s a big increase from 57.
There are 77 merit sources with a total merit generation of up to 17650 sMerit per 30 days
Looks like theymos is staking out applications and then approve them all together at once. This happened with the previous applicants , from 49 to 57.
OK, let me add some calculations too then.
We stated with
35 Merit Sources (MS for short) on the first day of the Merit system.
On
26th Jan. were already
49 MS. /
reference/
Today they are
57 MS.
So for one month from
35 till
57 this is
22 new sources, awesome but...
14 were added for 1 day, so we exclude them to be more realistic /see the reference link above/
Then there are minimum around
8 new MS added per
Month!
Since this is the first and only month till now and the data is not enough, we need to give more time to the system to actually see how it is working.
Now it's just speculations.
P.S. The image in the OP is not loading.
You have now, pretty much the whole history of the Merit Sources from the day 1
