Re: [ANN][ICO]HoweyCoins: the only BitcoinTalk-endorsed ICO - GUARANTEED PROFIT
I am in the midst of the patent process for said formula but judging by the majority of commenters I'm sure its completely safe here. You're not going to be impressed. But the formula is this:
(Merit + 1) / Posts x Activity = Worthiness Score
I've found it doesn't work for certain categories of posters, but the average is about 100. I think I'll do a Meta thread about it eventually.

A patent on the worthiness score?
I initially couldn't figure out wtf you were doing a +1 for but I'm realizing now it's probably to stop those with 0 merit from screwing up the formula??
yep. the patent is necessary because I'm building an ICO based around it. And if you believe that I have some HoweyCoins to sell you!
Yes you are correct about the +1. And if you take into consideration the flood of new accounts that are made here every day then the average is closer to 1 than 100. Regardless, you're still #2. But to show you that its value isn't absolute about anything, Satoshi is #5 and Hal Finney is #18!
