Nice answer, buddy. It seems my first question got the answer clearly enough.
By the way, how do you know those profiles are the first one to the 10th one? Check each profile manually?
Yes, I checked each profile manually. I used
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u= link and just added number, for example 1 in the end.
And I see that @tranthidung already have answer about first merit sender and it was theymos. He had to check it to be sure that it works

. He was first merit source, but also most of us had some sMerit back then from airdrop.
