Theymos said - Collect TEN posts written in the last couple of months by other people that have not received nearly enough merit for how good they are, and post quotes for them all in a new Meta thread. The point of this is to demonstrate your ability to give out merit usefully. [kindly Explain this]
This is to become a merit
sourceIf you looked at the original post, this it what it states.
If you want to be a merit source:
1. Be a somewhat established member.
2. Collect TEN posts written in the last couple of months by other people that have not received nearly enough merit for how good they are, and post quotes for them all in a new Meta thread. The point of this is to demonstrate your ability to give out merit usefully.
3. We will take a look at your history and maybe make you a source.
I am especially eager to have merit sources in sub-communities such as the local sections.
Theymos stated this to get a larger flow of merits.
If you look at the merit stats page. There are 77 sources of merits. In total they can generate 17650 sMerit per 30 days.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=sourcesWe need a source for merits because merits follow the 2:1 policy, and without a constant input, we cannot have outputs anymore.
Hope this helps,
