No no no, You didn't get my point. It's not like I'm not sending sMerits, I'm not being able to send merits.
Maybe you dont have any merits to send.
Let me tell you what happened here with the last merit I got. I am fairly regular in Bitcointalk. But for some reasons I didn't logged in for 2-3 days. When I got back, I had seen that I received a Merit but it shows I have zero sMerits.
When you receive one merit - you receive 0.5 sMerit which does not show and is not spendable. If someone gives you another exactly one merit, you will get another 0.5sMerit - which will add up to 1 sMerit - then it will show up and will be spendable.
I couldn't send that sMerit even if I wanted to.
You cannot send fractional merit.
Something similar happened the last time when I received 10 merits for one post. Merit system was totally new at that time. Well, maybe sMerits decays after 2-3 days or so. That's what I wanted to know, if they don't decay like this then what happened with me not being able to send sMerits?
Till date sMerit does not decay. Thats all I can say.
