So does that put Articmine at 8th as opposed to 10th?
...
Yes that is correct and it is perfectly fine with me.
If I now understand the formula correctly 8th dan is 5000 XMR, 9th dan is 10000 XMR, 10th dan in 20000 XMR, 11th dan is 50000 XMR, 12th dan is 100000 XMR etc. Then each dan level has multiple diamond sub levels starting with 7th dan.
So 7th dan can have 2, 3 or 4 crates of diamonds, 8th dan 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 crates of diamonds, 9th dan between 10 and 19 crates of diamonds etc.
My additional donation of 5,000 XMR is not yet counted (ask David).
And ArticMine's dans are wrong. A higher dan is every time the total amount reaches a figure starting with 1, 2 or 5; so it is logarithmic approximately base 2.
All updated to here, and corrected (I think) You guys will have to tell me how to order the top. I believe rpietila is the highest donator, however Articmine reached 8th Dan first. To this point I have ranked the donors by descending order of time of achievement as opposed to total donated. I will continue this on lower levels, but if you want the top to look different I don't mind a different logic for that.
Ready! FIGHT!
Originally it was the order of reaching the dan level. So ArticMine would be above me. But since I have more crates of diamonds, and same dan, it looks a bit funny and perhaps I should be listed first. That's what I would do (it matters only in the high levels that were not thought to be much used).
Your call.My suggestion is to treat the diamond levels for 7th dan and higher as sub levels. We list the sub levels in order within each dan level. For example: 8-9 Diamond, 8-8 Diamond, 8-7 Diamond, 8-6 Diamond 8-5 Diamond 7-4 Diamond 7-3 Diamond 7-2 Diamond etc. Within each sub level we list donors in order of reaching the sub level. We should also note for 7th dan and above when each sub level is reached. We only list diamond sub levels that are actually occupied.
