Re: 10th anniversary art contest

[Rmd41]

theymoss said "My current expectation is that as many as 100 people will receive some BTC"

are effort include in this judgement? there are more than 10 people submit more than 5 art... what do you think?

[LoyceV]

hello... i know a lot people got 100 merit just only post 1 great art...
but how about us?... i post 7 different art and i get 100 merit...

is that matter?  do we have the same position ? do we have same place? do we  equal?

Theymos said this:

Can we make unli submission?

Yes, but probably there will be diminishing returns.

I published some stats on the thread, base don yesterdays merit.txt file (the results are therefore not real time, and lack merits awarded later than 2019-11-22 02:48:34 UTC).Up until that moment, we had:

16594 merits awarded to the art thread.
906 merited posts.
465 meriters.
585 merited.

The complete relation can be seen here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qq_i3fpEECkVPoxfioSGTIl9U5eia8R3NqenNvRYzLo/edit#gid=0

As a curiosity:
- Two people have been merited on 11 posts each (@sirazimuth: 242 merits and sujonali1819: 165 merits).

- The thread merited by most people is @theymos’s OP (344 merits and 95 contributors), followed by Yatsan's (229 merits and 59 contributors).

- The largest meriter is (obviously) @theymos, who has merited 542 profiles in 698 posts (7794 merits), followed by @Halab (198 merited profiles – 239 posts - 356 merits).

Surprising how many users actually posted multiple submissions according to DdmrDdmr's post there. I just assumed most of those trying to bruteforce the art submissions were from those with low quality, and weren't getting any merit. Seems like it really did pay off for some users on a merit point of view submitting more than 10 in some instances.

For purely objective and impersonal reasons, I feel it makes more sense to rank meriters by how many merits they awarded, rather than how many users they merited.

Hahahah i need one more merited post and it will be three people 

Btw i see i'm in top 20 merited post. But about badge, there only theymos can choose who will receive badge. Not about how much merit received in art.

[DdmrDdmr]

I've added a tab to the Excel (called "Potentially ranked-up (thanks to Art thread)") to try to determine potential members ranked-up thanks to the Art Contest (to some extent, or significantly). I contrasted a snapshot of data from before the Art contest began, to that of yesterday, and marked in green those that I think may have been ranked-up thanks to the Art merits.

Unfortunately, my complete comparison data is for those that have been merited, so I do lack some data for those that had not been merited at the beginning of the contest (those show up on the tab with the nulls).

It’s pretty cumbersome to manually derive each case, so I’ve only done it for those that received above 20 merits in the Art contest. Since I had to manually whip through them, there may be a few mistakes, but, roughly, of the top 80 merited profiles, 48 seem to have received a significant amount of contribution to their new shinny rank through Art (others are still pending activity). Not bad.

Guys... y'all are so awesome!

[DdmrDdmr]

<...>

You seem to be looking at the wrong Tab. The "Meriters" tab indicates those you've merited. As of yesterday early morning, you had merited 8 different profiles, on 8 different posts, aggregating 36 sent sMerits.

Your posted history displays 10 entries: The one sent today is not accounted for (it's not in the merit.txt file for this week). The double entry sent to the same post (@LoyceV) is counted as one (single recipient; single post).

Where did the post go? (no need to delete it - it was a valid question).

[ZipReg]

I have a question, I posted my completed submission the AM of the 22nd. I don't think many people have even seen it yet to merit it, I myself got to about page 30 so far and my submission is on 78, so I am just wondering is there an official cut off time for the calculation of total merits for the art contest? Thank you!

Also edited to add that I have sent / will send all the merit I have received back to art contest submissions, I ran out around page 32. I appreciate being a part of what has turned out to be a pretty epic contest!

[webtricks]

Since I noticed discussion about merits received by artworks is getting hot and already several threads with merit statistics popped up, just wanted to make a point that merits on my artwork got split between two posts:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5202297.msg53105752#msg53105752

No, there is no cut-off time for merit calculation. Merits will taken into consideration most probably up to the point when theymos declares BTC winners and announces how he wanna go for badge winners.

Somehow I thought I didn't Merit many art-contributions, so I'm surprised I made it into (last spot of) the Top 10.
Especially in the last week I didn't have the time to thoroughly check all (many!) new contributions, especially the ones from Newbies that required opening an external site.

hello... i know a lot people got 100 merit just only post 1 great art...
but how about us?... i post 7 different art and i get 100 merit...

is that matter?  do we have the same position ? do we have same place? do we  equal?

You are mad because you received ''only 100 merits''?
I receive only 2 
I can't say that is the best artwork out here, is far from it but I think I deserve more so for anyone that want to check out my ''art'' here is the link:

Merit has sent purely base on the effort, some received small merit since its more on digital editing and some users didn’t appreciate that kind of work because it can easily done. Some users made a lot of entries, yet they received small merit and lucky to those guys who get huge support because they put a lot of effort on their artwork and that is their advantage. Be thankful for what you got, its a free merit for all of us so again Happy 10th Anniversary guys!

[rare_designer]

Hello, good night, greetings to the whole community. My art is the so-called "Eden blockchain" found on page 53. I wanted to ask if the new ones also have a chance at least to win some btc? since my image cannot be seen directly in the post. thanks.

[noorman0]

I just think, is there any artwork that Theymos has missed to judge? Does anyone think so?
I remember very well that my artwork was posted (Nov., 21th) in the first place on page 69 (post number #1361) and currently on page 68 (#1358). Theymos sent his last merit (according to my computer's date) on that date in this post, 2 posts after mine or maybe more if another post was deleted, and he sent the merit back 10 hours the next day. And as far as I'm concerned, Theymos will mark the artwok that was posted by giving merit (although only 1 sMerit which he thinks is worthy of nomination).

I won't say that all of my artworks should get merit from Theymos, but I (and maybe others) worry that I'll lose that judgment from one of them. I think it affects the number of points gained.
Sorry for my bad English

From what i can see, theymos merited 3 of your submissions, with combined total of 62 merit. And as you probably noticed, each subsequent submission received less merit (1st one got 35, 2nd one got 17 and 3rd one got 10) so I guess that's why your last one didn't receive anything from him. He mentioned  earlier about diminishing return, and here is another quote from him where he explains how he merits multiple submissions.

For anyone doing analysis: When someone makes multiple submissions, I consider the merit I've already given them when deciding how much merit to give later submissions. So if someone posts two submissions to which I'd normally give 50 merit, the second one will get less..

Theymos has given a lot of merits to all of the submission and now there is no reason for anyone to complain or suggest if the merits are given less or more. You should be thankful to him that you got 50 Merits from him on your artwork.
