DdmrDdmr is surprising for meriting posts

[Onyeeze]

I have being trying to ask this but it do give me a tough time. Is DdmrDdmr using which programs to merits numbers of people at same time, I received a merit from DdmrDdmr early today and I checked it's profile and I see almost hundreds posts merited by DdmrDdmr same time but with different minutes that's not above one minutes, does DdmrDdmr use bolt?? This is surprising, I have not seen someone who merit numbers of posts same time before, does it copy all the posts link that he wants to merit and past before meriting them? or it highlights all the user's he wants to merit, to be sincere this is confusing to understand how he does it, if you have knowledge of sharing a bunch merit at a time please explain.

This concern/question is more like for DdmrDdmr, i guess messaging him for give you the answer you are looking for instead of us speculating the matter, just my two cents.

Many of us doesn't know the clue behind this, I don't know if any other person has being thinking same thing, sending him a personal message will only educate me alone but making it to be open will benefit so many others, I think the reason this forum is created is to share knowledge across each other.

Did you check this thread [FUN] Is DdmrDdmr even human? before creating your own thread?

If you check that thread above you'll notice that issue like this ave been discussed and from the last time I checked (it has been a long time though) no one has still being able to figure out if he/she uses a bot or just do it manually, but with the time frame DdmrDdmr does the meriting I doubt that it's manual and besides he has a lot of stats about merit so it should be an easy peazy job for him.

You could share the knowledge you get by making a thread after, referencing what DdmrDdmr said to you via PM then, simple as that. Well, anyway, let's wait until he share his way to do things.

I understand the curiosity behind DdmrDdmr massive merit distribution but is knowing it really worth-it given that you don’t have that amount of smerit that you can send just to use the info that you are seeking.

It’s obvious that is doing some kind of script to merit all the post that he bookmark in the past. He is known for creating Merit dashboard so it’s not surprising that he is genius on ways to distribute merit.

[sokani]

This is DdmrDdmr topic that has detailed records of his/her merit spree and @fillipone created a topic [FUN] Is DdmrDdmr even human? where he jokingly enquire about the bot-like nature of @DdmrDdmr. So your question(s) has/have been answered in fillippone's topic and there's no need for this topic.

I don't know if ddmrddmr sending merits this way is considered manually or automatically.

This is the reason why nobody has certainty about the method

@DdmrDdmr, has talked and told a lot in his own thread, entitled: 1221 posts merited (by me) in just under 21 minutes–What's got over me? (v 36.0).

Explanation @DdmrDdmr.

<…>

What I did was prepare a list of the last post I merited per active 2019 profile (at the time). That gave me 256 posts from distinct users to re-merit, although the toll was 250 in the end since 6 were deleted posts. The lists was pretty easy to draft up from my merit DB (if anyone wants a similar one I can provide it). That was the easy part.
I then used a Firefox addon called Open Multiple URL and started the mechanical process of pasting batches of 10 to 15 URLs to the addon (it opens one URL per tab), meriting each post, and closing the tab. Sometimes an opened URL would give and error message (for trying to query Bitcointalk too many times in a short period of time), and I’d have to refresh the tab to get to the post. Pretty manual that part.

The overall idea was to re-merit profiles I had merited before, and since I tend to perform mainly 1 sMerit TXs, it would seem fair and conceptually similar to being a bit more generous for once …

<…>

0,2K (started off with an eighth part of that, but upgraded during some Merit Source adjustment procedure).

This is a good idea I have 323 merits still sitting I will go back to people I gave 1 merit and bump them.

Using my same exact criteria, I make it 146 people you would re-merit (profile active in 2019 and selecting each one’s last merited post). I can provide you the list if you want (in a Google SpreadSheet or alike).

<…>

I’d still take human over artificial … for now …

Version 2.0  - 19/07/2019 ( 278 profiles merited (by me) in 30 minutes)

I gave it a rethink, and have decided to go on a second sMerit awarding spree from my personal batch. As before, my intention was to re-merit some posts that I had already merited previously (thus no need for me to review the post’s content) in order to get rid of my personal sMerits in a coherent manner. Since I normally award sMerits in TX of 1 (for the most), this allows me to lose my close to Ebenezer Scrooge complex when awarding sMerits, for a short interval of time at least.

I have currently merited 513 different profiles. Since my personal sMerit batch is a bit under 300, I’ve had to trim the candidates to something reasonable.

Criteria (based on merit data as of this morning):
Award an additional sMerit to the last merited post (by me) of any profile that also meets:
-   The last post merited by me has only been merited once by me (this allows me to not re-merit a same post both on spree v 1.0 and spree v 2.0).
-   Regardless of the rank.
-   The post was posted in 2019.
-   The post has not received more than 10 sMerits, adding up all those received from anybody.

That trimmed my list of candidate posts from 513 to 286, which fits my sMerit budget. Eventually, it was down to 278 posts that I merited, since 8 were either deleted or on ignore. I was faster this time than last time ...

P.D. Holidays will leave me on halt for a week or so now.

@DdmrDdmr, human is just like you OP, only he uses some special futur taps to waste S-merit.

[aysg76]

I don't know if ddmrddmr sending merits this way is considered manually or automatically.

And I don't know if non human entities also use the same terms?  He just smash his screen when sending merits and his speed is totally unmatched in these matters.

He supplies flash serum to superheroes to make them faster  but jokes aside really appreciate him to send merits to different users at such a pace.

Thanks for the good update.
I would be very surprised anyway if he hadn’t improved the workflow since then.

Yet you would get the clue here. Nobody knows what you are asking. This also made fillippone to create thread on him. So you can also go there to have some information. The way he (DdmrDdmr) responses to post as comments and post does not look a robot as for your thinking. He responses according to the thread but if it was a robot it would have done some out of point comments which doesn't look the same way with the original thread or comment. But he makes comments accurately.

257 sMerits in 140 minutes.
I rushed it a bit more between 14:28 ..15:30 UTC really: 250 awarded sMerits in those 62 minutes. I really wanted to empty my personal sMerit bag that day in a though out manner.
I had a few tricks up my sleeve to be pretty swift at the task, being one of the primal ones to put household inhabitants on ignore during that timeframe.

If you check @DdmrDdmr profile carefully, his a normal guy who is just too good at his job as a merit source. I don't think he uses any bot or something. Yes he might have a good operating system with fast and swift response to help him move around the forum very quickly. And then he also said that during this period of meritting, he locks him self away from the outside world so as to focus more. I really appreciate his good works and contributions to the community. We need more person like him here on Bitcointalk.

Collect the posts you want to merit.
Write a script to merit to the posts and define how many merits to send in specific posts. Same to all or random given numbers in an array for each posts?
Run the script.

May be few things need to keep in mind like time delay and things to avoid IP banning.

A good example is few weeks ago TryNinja created a script to update images from imgur to talkimg/imgbb.

At least you release the OP from the high tension state of wondering about DdmrDdmr method of dropping merits at once. I also wonder sometimes the way he send merits to different accounts but I was bother to know because it was not my concern.

[imamusma]

Of course it's none of your business, me and the others, but we can still guess if he did it like someone with a robotic arm. Many users wonder about that even I'm not sure how he does it all the time other than opening tens of tabs before spray merit.

There's been some speculation and discussion about the DdmrDdmr merit spray in these two threads, so I don't think the OP should worry too much about it.

1. 1221 posts merited (by me) in just under 21 minutes–What’s got over me? (v 36.0) - DdmrDdmr
2. [FUN] Is DdmrDdmr even human? - fillippone

[nakamura12]

Man, the answer is quoted by YOSHIE on how DdmrDdmr merited many posts.

All I can think of how DdmrDdmr did it is by using bot (if it existed) or opening a lot of new tabs in the browser and send merits. One thing I am sure is he merited those he merited before as I received merit in one of my post before where I received merit again with the same post (as stated on the thread). Well, he did explained it his thread about how he did it but I am wondering how he really did it and you can already guess the question if is he really a human or as the thread title says.

[dansus021]

Yeah, I would agree with this  DdmrDdmr is some kind of Artificial intelligence with the brain of a quantum computer but still has the heart of a human  . Nice Pic btw

True, but he use bot, that should be complicated than manual, because he must know the quality post

This is not rocket science to understand that he used Bot to send merits. It's impossible for a human being to open thousands of posts and keep meriting them until his sMerits turn zero. Indeed, he never said in his thread that he uses a bot. I didBott check fillippone's thread to see if he responded there regarding using a bot. But, as he always uses some criteria to filter eligible posts, he must use his own made Bot or other secret services that he owns. You and I won't have access to those things because it's not for everyone. This particular thing is exclusively for himself, making him more exclusive.

True, but he use bot, that should be complicated than manual, because he must know the quality post

Look at the quoted part below

Have received merits from at least five different people since january 2023

He used this criterion to detect quality posts. If five different people merit a post, this post must be worth meriting. So he uses this method to find quality posts. He also uses other criteria like re-merit his last merited posts. Sometimes he Manually merits users' posts and then re-merits those posts with his bot. That means he knows the quality of the post he is meriting.
