I take back everything that I said above, and I suppose that my memory is going bad because it seems that I had erroneously recalled that my initial airdrop of smerits was 200.
I got 200 sMerit airdropped, even though it should have been 400 based on theymos' formula.
From what I've read, QuickSeller had
exhausted his sMerit supply, and has been sharing more sMerit than he earned since theymos added 8 Merit sources. So I believe he's a Merit source now.
You are mistaken my friend. Merit spent when you have available source merit comes from your source merit balance, not your sMerit balance. As such, I have some available sMerit that remains unspent.
I am not sure if most merit sources spend more than their source merit each month, but if not, I would imagine many merit sources have considerable sMerit if they earn a decent amount of merit. The way things are looking, I will run out of both source merit and sMerit before the end of the month, but I plan on addressing this by earning more merit.
