Yeah, I am struggling at that.
Thinking about of embracing the UBMI : "Universal Basic Merit Income".

We had a merit QE, why not merit MMT?

/sarcasm

EDIT: edited my message for sake of clarity, as this joke was getting out of control.

Don't know anything about Communism. Just that I don't like it. Prefer meritocracy.

I don't think theymos will like the idea.. you guys are just reducing your chances like that...
I almost give up on waiting to be a merit source, it clear now that it will happen when we migrate to the new software, and I get the theymos idea, I'll be a pensioner and I'll have more free time to read and send merit...

Edit: I know it was a joke, I was joking too. ⬇

Edited my previous message to clearly state it was meant to be a joke.
Once again fell for the Poe's Law of Internet communication.
Working hard on my posts to get my additional dose of sMerits, as usual.

Indeed time to gain some more source-merit  please thanks

[hugeblack]

UP, I started using my earned Merits after my source Merits end.

We need some increase, or at least the distribution of sMerits that other merit sources do not use (either because they are inactive or they have not sent all of their sMerits.)

Other users after receiving few merits are not utilizing it or giving to others for no certain reason. It was their privilege anyways but if merit source asking for some merits then I doubt that the merit ciculation is not healthy at all. However, if only merits were being utilized and has been decayed then pretty sure admin can get an exact expectation of merits circulation for users will not be hoarding it anymore and higher chance to send it to others or to their alt accounts.

[TheBeardedBaby]

How are you guys ( addressing the merit sources here) with the sMerit, still need some increase?
Bumping it just in case

[fillippone]

Interestingly, in November there will be a recalculation? The last one seemed to be in the middle of November 2019. If believe the information from other merit sources , it seems that just a year there is a correction of the merit bank at the merit sources. Unless, of course, this year theymos will not decide to do something differently.

I wouldn’t hold my breath for this.
It could happen of course, but I recall back in may there was some excitement for the 6th month-versary of the reshuffle. But anything happened.

I personally like some kind of “algorithmic” adjustment for merit source, in order to avoid merits getting sent to inactive sources, or sources that are, for whatever reason, not able to fully distribute their allowances.

But I have even more faith in @theymos, and I guess he had more than a thought about such a system, so I am more than satisfied with his decision on this system not getting implemented for the moment.

Of course I am in for a merit topping of my monthly allowance.

[TheBeardedBaby]

I have to make a list of those inactive Merit Sources so hopefully not only the allocated source merit will need to be increased but also the number of merit sources as well.
I always thought that Lauda was a source but seems not to be the case.

I’ve taken the list of potential Merit Sources (*) from @Coin-1’s thread Topic: [TOP-200] The most generous users giving merits] (those marked in bold), and placed them together on a same chart here:
https://public.tableau.com/shared/W8KMSXRSB?:display_count=y&:origin=viz_share_link

Fine, it’s not easy to see much when all the entries are clustered, but if you click on a name from the left (or select a few), you can see their merit awarding chart:
-   The flatter it gets, the less sMerits they are awarding.
-   Hover over the chart line to see values and dates tied to the datapoints.
-   Hover over to the datapoint furthest to the right to detect the date of last sMerit awarded.
-   Data as of 23/10/2020.
-   Names on list (left) sorted by the total number of awarded sMerits

You can delimit the char to a few selections. For example, these are the charts for @chimk and @Alex_Sr:
https://public.tableau.com/shared/DY53JF6PX?:display_count=y&:origin=viz_share_link

(*) There are 102 entries, so some of them are false positives (i.e. received airdropped sMerits, and currently have awarded more sMerits than theoretically generated from those received).

Interesting overview, i thought of a bit different approach. Gather the top 1000 merit senders and then filter out those who were not active in the 30 or more days. Since there's not a official list of merit sources the top senders will do OK.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Always looking for a source merit increase myself. I’m one of the most active posters here & ALWAYS get through my source allowance.

I never, ever hoard merit.

[aTriz]

I have ran out of smerits for a long time now. I would like to have some to giveaway for valuable posts I see around here and there .

[fillippone]

We are approaching one year since last Merit Source shake-up.
After the delusional six month anniversary, do you feel there is going to be some news in the coming weeks from some supposedly semi-automated algorhythm crafted by @theymos?

[TheBeardedBaby]

I like the way you guys still have a hope. I don't think there will be any changes anytime soon. Even gmaxwell try to lobby for new merit adjustments back in May and nothing.
Just a bump.
