Race to 10K Merit club.....

[aysg76]

So we all are aware that 10k merit club is now already active with @LoyceV achieving it few months back and now other members are also heading towards to the same throne and become the member
of 10K club.So here is the presentation for the top 10 merit earners over the forum excluding @LoyceV as he has already achieved this target.

So in this thread I collected the merit summary of top-10 members of the forum to analyze how fast they will achieve the 10k merit target.I have gathered past 10 days merit summary for them and
the comparison is done on this basis just to have an raw idea about thier merits spree,speed and forum contributions.

I have divided the members into two groups with top-5 and bottom-5 who are growing fast over the forum gaining merits to reach 10K club

NOTE: There could be some chnages after i am writing up this post as members receive merits after that also and will update the charts later on accordingly

So here are the members and their remaining merits to reach 10K Merits :

@o_e_l_e_o   -117
@theymos      -280
@fillippone   -124
@El duderino_ -1074
@suchmoon     -1959
@Ratimov      -2039
@DdmrDdmr     -2159
@LFC_Bitcoin  -2990
@pooya87      -3075
@JayJuanGee   -3279

Merit report of Second group:

@Ratimov - 48 Merits
@DdmrDdmr - 90 Merits
@LFC_Bitcoin - 61 Merits
@pooya87 -   109 Merits
@JayJuanGee - 35 Merits


So it's clear from the charts that @o_e_l_e_o is leading the race and going forward with his unmatchable merit earning speed with his quality posting and helping out the members with his technical knowledge to make forum useful for them. He is also member with most earned merits as well.Other members  are also going ahead towards 10K merit mark with time and speed like @fillippone has achieved it within short span so he will definitely achieve it soon. Speaking of @theymos he has gained most of them on April's fool prank so other members can take a lead at some point if he is not up with more posts and major announcements forum related.

This is just normal presentation and the merits will vary I know on the daily basis but this can give us a little idea about how the race is going just from past 10 days viewpoint.Rest best of luck to all the members and the throne for 10K merits is waiting for another heir after @LoyceV to join him in that club.

What I am and always think about users that have reached 10000 merits is for theymos to let them have a rank higher than legendary, they should have different title, badge which should be changed from the purple to another colour. If anyone having 1000 merits can achieve legendary while some people have even achieved this since merit was created because they had the activities required already at that time, it would be good if another rank exists that shows how some people have not only contributed but also devote their time for long period of time to help and to make sure this forum have quality posts.

[fillippone]

I am trying hard, you don’t know how much I am trying to win this race.
But I am overwhelmed by how much I am lagging in this race.
I have been following o_e_l_e_o for a long time, and I have been constantly lagging 600 merits, with some fluctuations.

But I won’t surrender!

Even without someone making statistics for this race then I'm sure you too will be interested in winning this race sooner or later. 10K merit is a great display for all users but we have to realize that it will only be achieved by a certain few users who have great contributions on the forum quickly and I'm sure you are one of them. o_e_l_e_o and theymos may be right in front of you, but you'll get there soon too.

I used the search feature to check for threads requesting for a new rank after legendary, there are many of them you should read:

The consensus seems to be, not bad but unnecessary or irrelevant and wouldn't yield anything.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

So we all are aware that 10k merit club is now already active with @LoyceV achieving it few months back

Dang, I wasn't aware of that fact (though it doesn't come as a surprise to me whatsoever).  That's some rarified air, as there are only a handful of current members who'd ever stand a chance of hitting the 10k mark.  Maybe some new, brilliant poster like nullius will come along eventually and blow up and through all the ranks and get to that many merits, but just given the history of how things go on the forum, it's not likely.

But I won’t surrender!

You've got some drive in you, m'man.  And then there's me, content with what I've got in terms of merits and my little position as a merit source.  I'm a couch potato compared to you guys.  Well, I'm pretty much one of those anyway, so.

Good luck to all those frantically trying to earn 10k merits.  I'd love to help out, but if you've even got one toe in the race you probably don't need any help from me or any other merit source.

You are trying hard and your merit keeps moving upwards by day. But according to your graph, you had a drastic decline in merit within a particular time.
If you go into your research and make an "All you wanted to know..." topic, hundreds of merits will arrive

...I'd love to help out, but if you've even got one toe in the race you probably don't need any help from me or any other merit source.

This will always be you. Trying so hard to understand this...

You make it like it is an easy task!
Those threads require extensive work and research to make of adequate quality. For sure they grant a lot of merits, but also require interesting topic. If you have suggestions, please contact me...

[tranthidung]

LoyceV is available with that old topic - LoyceV vs theymos (and get your own Merit graph: up to 20 users per graph). It is available up to 20 members per graph so it does satisfy your need.

Last update is in January 2022 but you can make your request, then LoyceV will proceed it for you, I believe.

[LoyceV]

@LFC_Bitcoin  -3578

I didn't realize this before:
Registration date: 1 day apart.
Registration time: 9 minutes apart.
Posts count: both 18k
Activity: close
Merit: close
What are the odds

Last update is in January 2022 but you can make your request, then LoyceV will proceed it for you, I believe.

I wasted the last hour trying to make a new graph, but I can't get LibreOffice to do it. These 20 users give 41,533 lines of data, and my current graph ends at 40,000 rows. Extending it messes it up, and starting from scratch doesn't work either.
Feel free to try, here is the data.

Code:

1188543 35 1852120 1067333 234771 2627711 1582324 379487 379147 252510

Update: I figured it out:

(data up to yesterday morning's Merit data dump)

[PrimeNumber7]

Even though theymos is in second place, the race is theymos' to lose. Theymos does not post very much, but when he does, he often gets a lot of merit. If theymos were to add a new feature, or make an announcement of some sort, he would likely quickly hit 10k while making just one post.

o_e_l_e_o posts much more, and even though nearly all of his posts are insightful, a lower percentage of them receive merit, and when he does receive merit, he often receives less merit for each post that receives merit.

I don't follow fillippone's nor El duderino_'s posts very closely, however I think they will likely hit 10k, but will probably not be first. If o_e_l_e_o were to suddenly become inactive (and theymos does not hit 10k first), one of them may be the first. I cant see any of the others hitting 10k first.

[Poker Player]

Lol, in my particular case, I see it as far away the 10K merits mark. How long have you been on the forum on average? theymos since 2010, LoyceV since 2015, maybe the "youngest" in that list is fillipone? He registered in 2018.

Although the merit system went into effect in January 2018 but many on this list receive merits for posts written earlier.

Well, now I see that mark far but maybe with a few more years on the forum I can reach it. Although I guess by then LoyceV and others will be going for 20K at least.

TOP 5 MEMBERS MERIT STATS PAST 10 DAYS

BOTTOM 5 MEMBERS MERIT STATS PAST 10 DAYS

Are you going to update the date and numbers of merit? I assume "NO." If not, these Stats will hint at how they were going on those days, and they will be useless in the future.
Are you going to follow them and update the thread till someone hits the 10K mark? I guess you can recheck once a week.

[tranthidung]

Experience in the forum, in crypto are important factors but not all of old members or crypto grand-father becomes knowledgeable and valuable with time. Each person is the one who decide who (s)he is and what contribution to make.

In other words, total earned merit or total merit can give a stranger on the forum a first impression but it is just a number and does not indicate who you are. How you earn merit and efforts behind each post, each merit you earn make more sense.

I meant you are still valuable asset of the forum even you just earned 1000 merit and two members with 2000 earned merit might have different contributions on the forum.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I’ve been chilling a bit in recent weeks. The bull market seems over, maybe I’m less motivated after taking life changing money out of this game for the first time since 2014 (only 25% of my stash, don’t worry).

I predict people will start passing me in the merit table now as I DGAF much these days.

Good luck to everybody & please don’t merit this post

I am fully awared of the fact how much passionate you are about bitcoin and this forum which has helped you to attain high rank in the forum.You are definitely going to finish this 10k race but maybe after @o_e_l_e_o because covering that many merits is hard as he is also going with good pace and having really strong quads.

But you can finish in the second place after him which I can assume from the fact that @theymos is not much active writing up posts and that's why get less merits.He has got most number of merits on those two days for April fool days and rest number are less and even not for some days while you have merit spree over these days.So be confident and move this race and you will surely finish it sooner than you have expected.

Are you going to update the date and numbers of merit? I assume "NO." If not, these Stats will hint at how they were going on those days, and they will be useless in the future.
Are you going to follow them and update the thread till someone hits the 10K mark? I guess you can recheck once a week.

This was just a representation of the past 10 days comparison of the top 10 members on the merit board to check the status of how this can end at some point.The data can be updated for the merits left to 10k mark for each member and how much they have earned till the time but making charts and each days merit stats is not much of use in long run.So what I can do is update the thread with these stats and once anyone hit that mark could be out of list.But will think about it.

Yeah you have your priorities sorted and enjoying after selling your 25% of old stash which is cool and have bought a house also if i am right? See you DGAF but still you are getting appreciation for your posts in form of merits and competing in this race.

I didn't realize this before:
Registration date: 1 day apart.
Registration time: 9 minutes apart.
Posts count: both 18k
Activity: close
Merit: close
What are the odds

That's cool as I didn't check the registration date for anyone in the list but they both are giving out their best to the forum and being reputed member of the forum.But as @LFC_Bitcoin is enjoying his personal life while still active over the forum and merits comparison for both of them I assume @pooya87 have higher chance of hitting that mark first with his technical knowledge but will still see that is there any turn after some time.

By the way thanks for updating the data with your charts and at first I want to use it but then was making for only 10 days and as you said it was messy so i decided to make individually for all of them to give clear picture for each day.

Dang, I wasn't aware of that fact (though it doesn't come as a surprise to me whatsoever).  That's some rarified air, as there are only a handful of current members who'd ever stand a chance of hitting the 10k mark.  Maybe some new, brilliant poster like nullius will come along eventually and blow up and through all the ranks and get to that many merits, but just given the history of how things go on the forum, it's not likely.

Yeah that was surprising for many but as I was keeping an eye on his record and he even shared it here so was not big surprise for us.Those members in the top 10 will make to that 10k mark but you see still there is huge gap for even members in bottom group and will take time to reach there.But yes some new members who are growing fast on the forum like @n0nce have paved their way on the forum with their effective contributions over the forum as he is having 1922 merits at this time and will be memeber of 2k club and that's appreciated.But still many are going the same old way of spamming and that's of no use.

Edit: The list has been updated with merit stats like how far they are from 10k mark and how many they have earned till now so you can check it how the race is going with @o_e_l_e_o gaining highest merits and @fillippone also pacing up fast.See i told you earlier also you can make it faster then as expected.So best of luck to all the members on this race.

[so98nn]

Very motivating to see these guys racing up with the time. No doubt about LoyceV, he is always ahead of @theymos. The contribution to the forum is just astounding and he never stops so yup, he deserves as standard line for all of us and mainly for the racers in the OP's list. Thanks for sharing these graphics. Looks like it is time to follow all these buddies and see what I can do more for the forum. I always want to dive into technical discussions and contribute there but because being from the life science field Im lagging a bit there. Though I keep trying to learn new technical aspect related to crypto space and do share them all the time. Just stay tune, I am inspired by you guys. Thanks.  

Anybody following @n0nce? That one is rocket on fire, could catch 10k before dawn, considering his merit rate.

[PrimeNumber7]

Anybody following @n0nce? That one is rocket on fire, could catch 10k before dawn, considering his merit rate.

No, that is unlikely. N0nce has less than 2k merit, and o_e_l_e_o and theymos both need less than 500 merit to reach 10k. I think it is most likely that one of them will reach 10k within a month.

Maybe next month there's another 10k merit club member within theymos and o_e_l_e_o and then this year more to be followed and for sure LoyceV will feel happy if there's another 10k merits cause she is not alone. And about n0nce I think he can reach 10k merits next year but if his merits will be fast and fast maybe in the end of the year he can reach.

[uchegod-21]

Well, I don't really know what to say about this, but 10k is really much that many people may never achieve it till they quit the forum. Let me give my personal evaluation on this list.

@ o_e_l_e_o   -293
He is very active in the forum and especially in technical board where he has answers many questions and try to bring solution to every problem. Since LoyceV has gotten to 10k, the next person I expect to reach that milestone is o_e_l_e_o.

@theymos      -444
This is the "Oga kpata kpata of them all". He does not post very often but when he does, alot of merits will follow him. If he wants to get to 10k merits before weekend, he could drop an April 15 fool post . He is the Absolute Hero of  Good.

@fillippone   -1027
This user makes alot of quality posts that solve many problems. He needs to be appointed the P.R.O(Public Related Officer) of the forum. He has information from the public that concerns this forum and he  have good knowledge of what is happening in different countries. Fillippone can you please tell me what is happening in my country Nigeria?. He is a good distributor of merits and he likes the number 3 when giving merits. I am expecting 3 merits from him on this post. If he recieve merits as much as he gives out, he could reach the 10k club sooner.

@El duderino_ -1618
How weird it might sound, I haven't come across this user anywhere in the forum. I wonder where he gets the big number merits from. #respect

@suchmoon     -2294
I have seen him, but most times he comes in where there is an argument and chip in some words to settle them. I believe there was when he was hotter in the forum, maybe I wasn't born then.

@Ratimov      -2598
Beginners and help king. He is always there doing great works and great spam burster. His journey to 10k club will happen soon than expected.

@DdmrDdmr     -2822
Always find a way to notice good posts that was not merited and drop merit there. Answers questions regularly in the forum. He will reach 10k merit club soon.

@LFC_Bitcoin  -3563
I confuse him with ETFBitcoin and it is ETFBitcoin I see often in the forum.

@pooya87      -3669
I know him from the technical boards and Bitcoin Discussion. He is always active and will reach 10k merit club but not so fast.

@JayJuanGee   -3903
What more can I say about him, I already created a thread for him https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5387986.msg59403066#msg59403066

Congratulations all, in 5 years from now, I could be here.
