I have known for B1gsmoke 2 years, and I trust him. We talk daily about crypto and other trading events in other chat rooms.
So, I see no problem with sending him all the merit I had. It's like I vouch for him. Is this a problem? Vouching for a friend?
Me personally, I don't care much for merit points, and I see no issue with sending them to a friend.
But because how system works, we needed to do feedback loop so I could send him all the merit, which means I get the merit points I don't care much about, anyway; but it's a nice bonus.
Last, it was not stated in original thread that such things are disallowed, so my conscience is clear.
