If it was a normal member of the forum that gave 10 merits to that post, they would be labeled with negative feedback for merit abuse.

"Normal member" - no. Alts sending merits to each other - probably.

I want to get you on the record in this. Is it ever acceptable to send merit to an alt or a family member with or without quotes?

May or may not be worth 10 merits, it's up to the sending person. There is no abuse though.

It is ridiculous to imply that merit transactions cannot be questioned. It is tyrannical to say that someones actions cannot be questioned or criticized.

Jet Cash said he meant to send 5 merits but sent double due to internet issues. So the question becomes if the post in question deserves 5 merits. Merit sources are supposed to use all their source merit by the end of the month, and if they can only find so many merit worthy posts, they should give more merit/post, so there is little difference that he gave 10 instead of 5, or if he would have given 1 or 50.

I personally dont think the post was particularly interesting myself, and I dont think it was especially unique or was something that would potentially provoke thought. IMO, it was little more than someone saying they are new here.

Jet Cash can consider opinions on if the post is merit worthy written in this thread and elsewhere, and change his merit giving behavior if he no longer thinks the post deserves merit. A single instance of giving merit to a not-merit-worthy post is no big deal.

Well I've given the above posters 10 merits each, so you can have a whinge about that now.

Lol

The double spend error seems to be the most common,

On a lighter note....I was under the impression that ~~bitcoin~~blockchain was supposed to fix the double spend problem.
