I've added your first submission to my Watchlist, and if I have to reference it in the future then I will slide you a merit point at that time. For now though, you've already received multiple merit from multiple users so it doesn't really fit my criteria. It is a very well written post, it is informative, but since it's already received merit it will have to wait until it becomes something I reference. Your second submission is the same way. I would be giving these merit if they hadn't already earned as much as they have. Don't want to run out of merit quickly, so this is a rule for the safety of my merit; you'd be taking them all away otherwise.

There you go, I've given your third submission a Merit, because I was unaware of 80%/17th million coin being mined and this was very interesting to me. There are some interesting implications that this will have on mining, supply/demand and all of that good stuff. I'll be jumping in your thread if I think of anything worth saying.
