I've noticed that i now all of a sudden have a "Merit" score of 500. What is this going to be for?

Does this have anything to do with the new proposals to combat spam?

The TX amounted to 1 sMerit, sent on the 24/01/2018 22:12 UTC.

Initially, besides the airdropped Merits, there was an initial allocation of airdropped sMerits (sendable Merits) that depended on the account's Rank and Activity over the last year, and an initial set of around 35 Merits Sources to begin with.
