Thank you very much for the compliment) You have an interesting job and you got a lot of attention and discussion, this gives you more chances) All the images turned out cool !!! But 1 of your works bothers me, which I wanted you to redo) https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/5193860.msg53110055#msg53110055                 I received a lot of dignity, but little attention, I can’t understand whether People like my work or not (((I forgot about food and sleep and got burnout syndrome) I look forward to the results, for me the icon is Like Oscar for the artist

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.

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.

GTG now.

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).

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:

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.

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:

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.

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.

Ok, I got it.

Yes, I thank him. But that isn't the point of my question, I've no problem with merit at all. Although Theymos will do other things besides giving merit to mark the artworks that he has reviewed (as far as I'm concerned) and those marks can be seen publicly, of course I'll still ask this. Once again, I don't intend to complain because it doesn't get merit, I just hope that all artworks are reviewed and none will be missed. That's all, thanks.
