You have done a great job for yourself and for the forum. I must say that your contribution to this forum is highly commendable, I have leant a lot from your post and you have made me to gain more knowledge about the forum.
Considering the level you have attained in the forum and your contribution to Bitcoin talk community, I strongly believe that your application to be a merit source comes at the right time and it's well deserve.

You are one of the few who are active in the technical-related threads, and sure you helped a lot of them so there's no doubt in the established user part, and also I am trying to say this whenever I had chance this is the forum to talk about bitcoin but most often we give attention to other parts of the forum but not really about bitcoin so I wish you to become a merit source that will help to recongize the quality posts in the actual related bitcoin threads.
