I think you are still confused here. The Merits that you receive cannot be sent. You send the sMerits that you have. Your Merit counter never decreases (unless youve been exceptionally naughty ).

Its something like this:

- Say I start with 0 Merits (Merits 0; sMerits 0)
- I receive 1 Merit (Merits 1; sMerits 0 + there is half a virtual sMerit there, but you cannot see nor use it yet)
- I receive another Merit (Merits 2; sMerits 1)
- I receive another Merit (Merits 3; sMerits 1 + 0,5 virtual one)
- I now send 1 sMerit ((Merits 3; sMerits 0 + 0,5 virtual one), I cannot send any more yet.
- I receive another Merit (Merits 4; sMerits 1)
- and so on.

Merits: Never decreases, cannot be sent.
sMerits: decreases. For every 2 Merits received, you also get 1 sMerits to send. You can only send whole sMerit numbers (not 0,5 sMerits).

I send sMerits, the recipient receives Merits (and additionally gets sMerits to send on a ratio on 1 sMerit for every 2 Merits received).
