Highly appreciate your help by giving me daily data (updated on weekly basis is enough).
Theymos' merit data dump happens once per week, so that's the lowest possible frequency anyway (without resorting to scraping new Merit transactions by myself).
By the way, I would clarify that the weekly statistics in my analysis are different than yours.
Why?
I used you daily datapoint, then converted them to weekly one one the structure of real calendar.
It means that the first week in the data set (from 24th to 28th of January) contains only five days, Wednesday to Sunday.
I will keep using the approach for my weekly analysis.
If you're using my "days", you're still not using "real" days:
I've used the same "time convention" as I used for my
full merit transaction history: "Days" start the second the first Merit was transfered, and count exactly 3600*24 seconds after that. It has nothing to do with calendar days in any time zone.
I started the day the second
AdolfinWolf received the first Merit from theymos (Wed Jan 24 23:12:21 2018) (I think this is Dutch time, not forum time).
