Hello, I'm very happy to see that what I proposed here when I was just a newbie wasn't a total bullshit :-)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2605767.msg26598663#msg26598663   

May be I merit a merit :-)  Ok, just kidding.

Btw, don't you think there is a risk as for example in twitter - with usual #followback hashtag - that people will give undiscriminately merits to everyone, just with the aim to receive merits back?

Or that circles of friends will give a lot of merits each other?
Or someone will start to sell merits?

This "merit" idea is great, but I think that there is still space for improvement, as it seems to me open to a lot of abuses.

Just my two cents.
