Re: Merit: data visualization storytelling - Full interactive data till 6th of April
Well done! It clearly shows the Local sections (often said to not receive merit) do receive a lot of merit. What surprises me, is that the Altcoin boards receive almost twice as much as the Bitcoin boards!
Update:
It took some time to put it together, but i think it was worth 
Would this be something you can keep up to date once in a while?Update:

I collected the data regarding all the Merits given since it was introduced (updated till 6th of April)
Only after I've merited your post, I realized I disagree to your data:Total: 125281
How did you get to 52,778 in total?Many of the threads/comments that received merits were actually deleted or not accessible so some of that data is not actually appearing in the graph.
What you see there is there is what you can actually verify/see at the moment in the forum.
The data was collected using the raw file https://bitcointalk.org/merit.txt.xz
Im planning to keep it updated.
