OP, your post is:
Merited by theymos (1)
It will be interesting to see how these points will be awarded, not that I'm too fond of the idea.
There is a new +Merit button besides the quote button.
Leading to a new page that reads:
You have received a total of 500 merit. This is what determines your forum rank. You typically cannot lose this merit. You have 88 sendable merit (sMerit) which you can send to other people. There is no point in hoarding sMerit; keeping it yourself does not benefit you, and we reserve the right to decay unused sMerit in the future.
You are a merit source. The next 100 merit you spend will come from your source rather than your sMerit balance. Merit spent from your source will come back in 30 days. Unused source merit is wasted. It is not allowed for merit sources to sell their merit.
(Merited Lauda for testing.)The OP now has 506 merit points. Tyrantt has given him an extra 5 while testing the new system out.

I just sent the OP one merit point. Unfortunately it says I only have one merit point to send, so I've run out now. Members must only get one spendable merit point
for each 30 days.Bitcoin Forum > Merit
