The idea is interesting, but imho the formula itself needs more work. Maybe merit made more important.

It could also be an idea to also use overall earned merit and overall posts too somewhere. (Of course, also take into account those who didn't post since merit was introduced).

The point is that I think that the current formula may be missing a huge number of old high quality posts (and merits), which could make the results somewhat inconsistent (given that satoshi 14+ score and LoyceV only 0.81)


On the other hand... if you go by everybody's ideas you'll go crazy. So do as you think it fits.

You are absolutely correct. I will consider modifying the formula, perhaps introducing a penalty system if the profile is too young. I will think about it tonight.


If it goes well, this experiment could provide valuable feedback on user quality! But it should not be misinterpreted: the tool does not judge what we write, only the data available.


Help is welcome, thank you, Vod! What would you like to participate in?

I am all chill not even angry about it, I was laughing out loud because you keep on just fishing for red flags?
You haven’t contributed with any single productive feedback towards this thread and only kept harassing and being negative towards my project, As if you have a sixth sense of whether I have a good or bad intention with my project? That’s what I call bullshit my man.

And for the record, I have no problem about being transparent and setting up multi sig wallets for any cofounders coming onboard, And definitely no problem to make this project decentralised as it is my end up after improving the UI.

It is very much possible, and we already have the information public, I saw somewhere on the bitcointalk from Loycev and if I came across that post then I will list them here.

No, finding the number of users is not possible, only the number of total bitcoin addresses with value is possible.

First of all, Looking for investors does not necessarily mean "Money" but expertise as well.
Technically saying, I am investing my time in replying to your bullshit comments as well.

And as I clearly and previously said, I was occupied with other projects that were time consuming.
Quite a productive feedback from your end lol.
If you want to provide any advice, or any improvements to be made, that would be much better.

Even though you may be writing in terms that seem not understandable clearly what you mean, I still understand you and it’s quite unfortunate that abusers broke the glass used in holding vulnerable heart but then it gets to be an effect on both people who would have deserved it in the very future which is now but however, the fact remains abusers will always abuse eve if you shut the door.

Oh.  You know what else is broken?  Those brake pads between my ears that used to, and still ought to, slow me down enough to read things thoroughly.  And when I say broken, I mean smashed to atoms and buried deep in a landfill by used condoms and other disgusting entropy.

Ahem.  I offer my apologies to that poster whom I might have besmirched inadvertently. 

LoyceV, you didn't get to be 5th most recognized on BPIP and wind up with the most earned merit on the whole forum for nothing.  I bow before your grandeur (after I'm done with Foxpup, of course).

You're not lazy, but I already know where you're going with this! These are extreme cases, but to be fair, I'll show them to you anyway. 

 

Fair question. Looking for co-founders/investors isn’t something bad, it just helps build faster and better (security, support, dispute handling, ops).
Also, would you drop the same question for yourself in that manner if you just opened your platform? “Looking for money”?
It is quite a rude comment/question my mate and not productive in any way.

EscrowMyCoins has been a long-term goal that I am now fully dedicated to finalizing, with a significantly improved version currently in development. I recognize that reputation is a cumulative process, and I am committed to proving this platform's value over time. To accelerate this vision, I am looking for co-founders and investors to join the team. This partnership will allow me to concentrate on technical excellence while we build our market presence together.

​@LoyceV
> If you don't look at the keyboard, it doesn't matter what it says on the keys smiley

​You are absolutely right regarding the alphabet (A-Z). If I touch-type "password", my fingers hit the same physical switches regardless of the labels.
​The real panic comes with special characters.
My passphrase includes symbols. On a standard US layout, @ is Shift+2. On a German QWERTZ, it is AltGr+Q. On a UK layout, " and @ are swapped.
If I am on a borrowed laptop and instinctively look down to find the symbol on the keys, that is where the "User Error" trap springs if the OS layout doesn't match the physical labels.
​So yes, I now explicitly check/set the Keyboard Layout in the Tails Greeter every time to match the hardware I am using.

I have the same problem as LoyceV. When I visit my referral link, I have to visit the same link twice for the invite code to appear.




This works perfectly

Task claiming works perfectly too, I have no problem with that



This is what I received in the email notification, I will try other things later 

Thank you for this, Zwei, and welcome back to us!

Please add also the AOBT banner at the bottom of your translation.

Besides, I also announced LoyceV about it.

You don't go too far to make a narrative, just answer my question according to the quote above, don't answer what I didn't ask you.

In the previous post, I made three quoted sections, so you only need to answer the top question.
Peanutswar has said that there is an attack, so how can the USDT be delivered to your address? Is it you who do it?

I don't really believe when there is an account connected, being on a different local board. Because some of the cases that I have revealed have shown that pattern.

---

Now you just need to answer my question and answer the one in the quote below.

Those are rhetoric questions.

List of post:


1. As stated by other user on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5569700.msg66287462#msg66287462, this explanation isn't easy/clear to understand.
2. Claim of legacy TX consume more storage is wrong, since raw bytes of P2PKH (legacy address) and P2WPKH (native segwit address) isn't that different. Here's example calculation from https://jlopp.github.io/bitcoin-transaction-size-calculator/



1. Actually there are some wallet software that let you create wallet seedphrase, such as Electrum and Bitcoin Core.
2. While it's possible to get raw pass key and manage it manually, usually it's managed by OS or certain application you use.

All suggestion on this post already mentioned by other member.


1. While it's not user-friendly approach, other user already mention it's actually possible to prune by date. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5568319.msg66170419#msg66170419.
2. Suggesting to use block explorer isn't helpful, since the one who asked question already mentioned his goal is to learn about pruning system.


Another user explain what's wrong with this post.

I'm thinking of setting everything up on the same server.

Now I just need to get organized to make this adventure/investment a reality. 

The LoyceV and TryNinja tools are too sophisticated to be lied to. Even if a post has been deleted, the archive will remain.
So who created this archived post?
https://loyce.club/archive/posts/6229/62297785.html
https://bitlist.co/address/TWN2BYmN1cmoGQmNaAVjzYLUX12As4zTrX

You don't admit that this TWN2BYmN1cmoGQmNaAVjzYLUX12As4zTrX is not your wallet, then who posted it then?
Not player, it was PAYEER.

---

If I make an accusation, I will prepare complete evidence. I only responded to the link shared by lovesmayfamilis, which turned out to lead to your account. I then checked the wallet and found that there was a connection. After that I noticed a similar pattern, which is borrowing quite a large amount of money. That’s the point.

However you haven’t provided any valid evidence regarding the connected wallet. You only mentioned it as a minor help. If that’s all the explanation given, it can easily be copied or used by others later.

So if you can prove what the help conversation actually looked like, then maybe the help status could be considered valid.

---

Yes I have read it. If that is really how it happened, are you aware that the address sent USDT to an address that Woodie had previously posted? Indirectly, don’t you feel suspicious of Woodie?

Thanks for testing, mate!
Originally, we decided to allow password changes only through the Password Reset flow for security reasons.
After the release, we will run a poll and discuss with the community whether to add a direct password change option in the Security tab or keep the current approach.

---

Hey LoyceV, glad to see you again.
Thanks for your testing, we really appreciate it. It looks like the Invite Code bug is still present. We will investigate it and get it fixed within a day or two.

---

Noted. This will be corrected.

---

Unfortunately, that's the reality of current standards.

---

This was implemented for security reasons. That said, no worries we will refine the flow and make the overall process more user-friendly soon.

---

You can find your referral count on the Profile page under the Account Statistics tab.

---

Guys, we've also created several Claim tasks. If you have a few minutes to test them, that would be great as well.

Thank you all for being such a great community and for helping us shape Bridgoro.

Nice catch!
It's strange that only ICQ ia affected with this and not AIM, MSN and YIM.
If theymos is going to remove something I would suggest him to remove all of them, not just ICQ, and maybe replace them with blanks fields, if people want to add something new like telegram accounts.

الموضوع الاصلي:  How to lose your Bitcoins with CTRL-C CTRL-V

رايت للتو ضحية اخرى لبرمجيات خبيثة تقوم بتغيير معلومات النسخ واللصق (clipboard hijacker malware).

كيف يعمل
1. تنسخ عنوان البيتكوين عن طريق Ctrl+C.
2. تقوم البرمجية الخبيثة باستبدال العنوان بعنوان المخترق/المحتال.
3. تلصق العنوان عن طريق Ctrl+V و تفقد اي عملات ارسلتها.
حتى لو تحققت من جزء من عنوان البتكوين الملصوق، فمن المرجح ان الاحرف الاولى ستكون متطابقة للعنوان الاصلي، ولن تلاحظ ان العنوان قد تغير.

كيفية الوقاية من هذا
1. لا تستخدم نظام ويندوز، لكننا نعلم جيدا انك لن تقوم بتغيره.
2. تحقق من العنوان بالكامل بعد النسخ واللصق، وليس فقط من اول او اخر بضعة احرف. تحقق ايضا من بعض الاحرف في المنتصف. هذا يتطلب جهدا، لذا من المرجح انك لن تفعل ذلك ايضا.
3. فكرت في شيء اخر: لا تنسخ عنوان البيتكوين بالكامل، انسخ قسما فقط واكتب يدويا الاحرف الاخيرة. حتى لو قامت البرمجيات الخبيثة باستبدال الجزء المنسوخ بعنوان اخر، فلن تقبل محفظتك العنوان (غير صالح) اذا كتبت الاحرف الاخيرة بنفسك.
ستظل بحاجة الى اتباع الخطوة 2: تحقق من العنوان!
4. استخدم النسخ/اللصق للتحقق من جزء من العنوان. لنفترض انك تريد ارسال عملات الى العنوان 1PjpEgknyKxQKXtMcYFDym8odkfohFGkui بعد النسخ/اللصق، حدد الجزء "yKxQKXtMc" من العنوان الذي تم لصقه، تم اضغط CTRL+C. بعد ذلك، استخدم CTRL+F تم CTRL+V لمعرفة ما اذا كان هذا الجزء من العنوان يطابق العنوان الاصلي. وتاكد دائما من المصدر، فحتى عناوين البريد الالكتروني يمكن تزويرها.
5. ساضيف هنا اقتراح o_e_l_e_o:

كن يقظا
تحقق، تم تحقق مرة اخرى، تم تحقق للمرة التالتة قبل ارسال اي عملات!

Yes, that's it.

I was thinking of something like this:

I've been probing to mount a node on a server.
I think I've asked before, but based on these months of use, what are the features that you consider good for a node/explorer?

Well, it's not really a controversial statement, but service presence of mixers on the forum is still not allowed. You know, think of it like the mixer using Bitcointalk as the official place for making announcements. It's obvious Theymos wants nothing to do about that, and we can't really complain about it.

The official stance of the forum towards mixers has softened a bit, so perhaps those who promote them have more credit than was the case before. On the other hand, maybe the mod who handled the reports was one of those who think he needs a little more time to understand what's allowed and what's not.

Kf you mean active users, I can agree with you, bit if you mean general, I do not agree with you. These are the list of most recognized people that have account on Bitcointalk that I think are most recognized:

Satoshi Nakamoto
Sirius
Laszlo Hanyecz
Theymos
Hal Finney

Fir active user, I will choose

Theymos
LoyceV
Cyrus
DdmrDdmr

Most of us have been in the forum three, four and six years but we don't know the top (4) or top (10) recognised users of the forum, Talk more of knowing the statistics of the total numbers of Registered users and ban and daily active user of the forum, i know that many people will feel less concern to know this, and many will say that knowing all this i mentioned, it will not add values to their profile

But for me it's important to know about the existence of forum and also how many people that is in forum, both weekly and monthly and annually, i think this will help to know if some of the forum numbers is reducing or increasing, but I know that everyday forum numbers of users get increased, I know that some people will think that what I have mentioned here it suppose to be work of the staffs, but I think that is not the truth.

 Here come the statistics of total numbers of Bitcointalk user in 2026, Total numbers of Ban users, And total numbers of Daily active users

•Total numbers of Registered users = 3.7 million

• Total numbers of Banned users, approximately = 3 million

• Total numbers of Non banned users, approximately = 700,000

•  Total numbers of Daily active users, approximately = 300,000 and above

• Total numbers of users who visit the forum monthly, approximately =  1.6 million

This is a research i carried out to evaluate the statistics of Bitcointalk user Source    

---

---

According to my research using bpip.org to identify the top most recognised users of Bitcointalk, from the day Bitcointalk was launched till date, here come to the results of my first research.

Top(4) recognised Bitcointalk users from total numbers of 3.7 million Registered users  
 
(1) Theymos
(2) OgNasty
(3) Philipma1957
(4) LoyceV

1• Theymos is the first recognised user of Bitcointalk and first active user of Bitcointalk, but is not the most merited user, that is to show us how transparent and lenient is forum and it's principles, this is another indication to let us know that Bitcointalk data formation remains unchanged and it can't  be manipulate, Here come the bpip image..




2. OgNasty, according the research it appears that OgNasty is the second most recognised users of Bitcointalk, and i don't think everyone will be aware of this if not this research, and people that will be aware that is the 2nd most recognised user, people will not know him as most recognised user, but is not most merited or most trusted..Here come the bpip image...




3.Philipma1957, This is a clear evidence to let us know that Bitcointalk information doesn't die, Philipma1957 is the 3rd user in bitcointalk that is being recognised and without bpip image don't think so many of us would have know this information, without making this research, I do think that after Theymos the next user in line is LoyceV, but not knowing that OgNasty come second for Bitcointalk recognition and third by Philipma1957.Here come the bpip image




4. LoyceV, This is the one I had in mind that would have being the second after Theymos, but bpip.org proved me wrong, so times you need to conclude with your instincts, without this research I won't have know that they are other users Bitcointalk recognised first before LoyceV, the functions of LoyceV in bitcointalk made some of us to rate him higher than others, and we are going to be rating him higher because of his activities, in bitcointalk, his the 4th most recognised user and 2nd most earned merits and 34th most trusted...Here come the bpip image

 

---

---

I don't know if I would have obtain permission before posting a users bpip.org profile, I'm pleading if it's against the rules and regulations of bitcointalk i ask for forgiveness, I made this thread for reference purposes, for people who dont know about the volume of people that registered in the bitcointalk annually and the top 4 most recognised bitcointalk users to know...I also urge anyone who have time to make a research to list most top 6, from 6 to 10 most recognised users of Bitcointalk.

Well done, mate, I'm glad I've been an inspiration to you.
The report is practically identical to the structure of my report. Are you using my tool?
Keep it up and you'll encourage your fellow countrymen to be more productive on this board.
I think Fillippone would say the same thing.

Timeframe: 12/01/2025 to 12/31/2025
Boards included: Pilipinas (+4 child boards)


Insights:

• There is a noticeable drop in the total number of posts (~22%), which is likely an effect of the holiday season. It's possible that users spent less time engaging with the forum in general.
• There's also a drop in merited posts written in December (41) vs. November (64), which is proportionally larger than the drop in total posts.
• We see a significant decrease (~30%) in merit distribution. It looks like majority of users were more conservative in sending their sMerits, at least in our local board. This can be clearly seen if we look at our Top 10 Merit Senders.

Quote Board   Posts (Dec 2025)   Posts (Nov 2025)   Difference Pilipinas 677 904 -227 Pamilihan 58 61 -3 Others (Pilipinas) 26 24 +2 Altcoins (Pilipinas) 17 8 +9 Altcoin Announcements (Pilipinas) 0 0 0

Insights:

• The post drop in Pilipinas main board (-227) accounts for more than 100% of the total post drop from November to December (-219), but it's still the most active board by far.
• Activity in the child boards are almost still the same, apart from Altcoins (Pilipinas) which more than doubled its post count.
• Despite the lower volume of posts, the overall activity of our local board remains at a healthy level.

• December experienced a slowdown in terms of engagement, indicated by the reduced number of posts and merits.
• Community participation remains healthy, but focuses more on news-driven discussions.
• Merit distribution was a lot more centralized, relying heavily on our local merit source.
• Post quality seemed to have lowered slightly, as shown by the lower merit/post ratios, and fewer merited posts.

grazie per gli aggiornamenti, mi sono riletto le regole e bisogna aver guadagnato negli ultimi 120 giorni 10 meriti.
io ne ho guadagnati 11 quindi dai, provo a votare non so se riuscirò a farlo bene o per tempo, non avevo riflettuto su chi voltare.
Di sicuro ammiro icopress per tutto l'impegno che ci mette a gestirlo, ma anche LoyceV fa veramente tanto.

I personally won't do it, without other stronger reason. But i don't disagree with other member who decide to leave negative feedback.




I have few questions,
1. Does that mean tag from Satofan44 is correct / appropriate ?
2. Why do you falsely accuse AuchanX?

You could use these elements
Post
Post_120d
Merit
Merit_120d
Profile age
Create a logarithmic formula where inactivity is not penalised.

I don't know, could this be a feasible idea?

Have you played with the config or just using the defaults?

Because it's weird that it has to use more resources than the default "worker_threads" config has detected (0 = auto-detect CPU cores)
You may set a lower value than your VPS' CPU cores if you want to prevent CPU stealing.

While you're at it, like Bitcoin Core, it has a "txhash_cache" option to potentially make it more responsive if your system has enough memory.
The 128MB default is too low for your VPS' memory.

Haha LoyceV.

This one is interesting but it is not a new discovery in the forum, at least one forum member discovered years ago. The user is actmyname, I believe you knew him too. 

I only picked a random topic from my quick check, it's in 2019 but maybe actmyname knew about this interesing posting style before 2019.

My idea was something like:

An indicator trying to determine the strength of the momentum of the “good post” like the MACD in technical analysis.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to all the Merit data, so I used what I could find and use, so airdropped Merits will obviously be counted in the total Merits earned.

Yes, unfortunately, if a user is inactive, their score is reset to zero using this formula.
The third point, however, is not entirely accurate. It increases if posts are deleted, but the main factor is determined by the Merits earned in 120 days.

However, I would like to reiterate that this is obviously a trial. Perhaps something similar could be implemented directly in the forum without the need for extensions or scripts.

I have created a formula, which is quite simple.
I take the Merits earned in the last 120 days and multiply them by the total Merits earned over time, then divide the product by the number of posts written in the forum.

(Merit120 * Merit) / Total_posts = Quality score

This is the result that is displayed in user profile page.







fillippone, LoyceV, was this something that interested you? Obviously, this is a test! And if it works, I'll share it with everyone.

I will look at both of you, ABCbits and AuchanX, separately.

ABCbits,lovesmayfamilis,AuchanX,LoyceV

You four have deliberately tagged me using false information and false accusations against me. You will be judged, and that will happen very soon. You are not good people.

He is again spreading fake posts generated by AI on the technical board. I have submitted all the details in the AI ​​Spam Report Reference Thread.Almost a year after getting the tag from you, he has woken up and started generating posts generated by AI again.

A junior member is spamming the technical board with AI generated posts. I am submitting all the details here. He has already been tagged by @LoyceV and @ABCbits. But now I feel his false fake posts need to be deleted.

Maybe these are cases where we need some Satofan44's to wake up in us and leave red tags. It is obviously account farming, and only red trust can devalue that business.
By merit, this account is a member rank. The moment he reaches a rank that is acceptable in the signature campaign, he will appear here with an appeal to remove the current neutral 'spammer' tags.

Yeah. Looking at past few months, it seems whoever doing this keep creating new account once they receive tag/trust feedback. I agree it feels pointless these days, but i simply hate so much seeing  spam on certain board i visit.

Does your family know that you own bitcoin and how they will recover it in case something happens to you? It isn't clear from the way you constructed the above sentence. Will they find your seed accidentally or do they know where to look? If they already know what they are supposed to do and where to look, then teach them about the passphrase in advance as well. Make multiple copies of it and tell them where they are. These are all things that should be handled while you are alive, healthy, and sane.


You should try entering a seed phrase or a long and complex passphrase on a Blockstream Jade, which has left/right navigational buttons to navigate through the letters of the alphabet, numbers, and symbols. It's a lot of fun.


I would even go one step further and send a small test transaction to the restored wallet. After that, send it back out again to ensure that it's working properly. That gives me greater peace of mind.

Do you already have a formula in mind?
I would be very curious to see it in action and give you some feedback on it. Determining whether a post is of high quality or not is very difficult, so how could you do that simply by using this data? In my opinion, it could generate false positives.
But if it can help distinguish between those who only post for signature campaigns and those who are actually trying to contribute to this forum, then the script could still be useful.

Hello! I have been messing around with VanitySearch a lot lately, and I would like to get acquainted with the split-key functionality. Instead of making addresses for myself that I won't use, I figured others may be able to benefit from the GPU resources — and I can learn in the process. This idea is entirely inspired by LoyceV, so full credit goes to them and their previous display of generosity.

Notes and constraints

• Addresses will be legacy/compressed
• 3-5 case-sensitive character prefixes can be completed almost instantly
• 6-7 case-sensitive character prefixes are a bit more work but are still possible in a very reasonable time frame
• 8+ case-sensitive character prefixes would take much more time and may not be feasible
• For case-insensitive prefixes: I haven't played around with the probabilities relative to my mkey/s numbers enough to find out what my limit is, but I'm willing to experiment

Original thread: Pretty Addy Giveaway - part 2

Not convinced until I am able to post some moving text



Now imagine what you post there moving across from left to right. That would be quite a mess, wouldn't it? 

On a serious note, I wonder why the moving texts were disabled. Were they so annoying?

Work in progress...

A native bitcointalk user. You know when you see someone's username and avatar, and you just think they have been here forever? Few members give me this impression, and condoras was one of them. Rest in peace...

A singular asset for the bitcointalk community. Do I need to say more?
Like the legend says "and those without whom Bitcointalk is unimaginable."
No other name comes close, and not because the others aren't good enough, but because Loyce sets the bar very high.

Ask a technical question, you'll probably see one of those guys throwing high quality replies. I can't imagine how many newbies they have helped, maybe many people would have given up on bitcoin if not for those guys spending their time helping everybody.


I would honestly put BitList here, but I don't know if it's weird for me to basically vote on myself (). Still thinking...

I have received many PMs from him asking for help to gather data for his local board analysis. I love seeing the forum through numbers and charts and I think *Ace* shares the same feeling. I would say he is me, but italian.

PowerGlove is theymos on steroids. From the unknown security flaws disclosed, to the many QoL improvements... he made the forum better to everyone. The same could be said about Mitchell and his nuking-capable bot. I've seen what the scam bots can do to this forum (rip my notifications), and he is the first line of defense against the hordes that would break the forum for everyone.

I can't think of anyone that uses the bitlist archive (previously called ninjastic) for spam busting as much as lovesmayfamilis. My notifications speak for themselves.

sabotag3x is the name that always come to mind when thinking of the Portuguese board. He has been here since forever and is a real community member. He lead the work to create the first portuguese BIP39 word list, from start to finish, here on bitcointalk, and has reached all of the participants to share an airdrop (~$1000+ for each). joker_josue is omniscient, even before talkimg he was participating in every topic, without a single spammy post. There is no portuguese board without our friend from Portugal.

The only confirmed women on the Portuguese board. I don't know if there are any other hidden ones, but Mindyspace is the one that comes to mind to break a bit the uniqueness of our board.

Hmmm, I did not think of that.  For extreme privacy, I will download their controls to my web server.You can't really ignore AI anymore.  Last year Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama announced the appointment of an AI named Diella (meaning "Sun") as the new Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence.  It's primary purpose is to oversee and manage public tenders and procurement processes. (to eliminate corruption, bias, and nepotism from these systems by having an impartial AI handle decision-making for state contracts)

I totally agreed to what you said..
There is what we calls individual "dichotomy" which anyone is subjected to how quality a thing could be to them, I may value a post very well and give merits to it while others may see it and scroll away of it. This doesn't mean that they don't value but they are not touched to merit that post as they don't have it something that helps them, whereas, anyone whom the post helps can actually gives merits to the post without them missing it. There people who gives merits based on that someone else already given it so they may also want to appreciate it as what others did without knowing they must give it merits.

I was checking the forum to see how to find certain data. My idea was to use fetch via JS and take the data directly from the DOM of forum, without using external services.
In this case, I wanted to use four important pieces of data:
1. Total posts
2. Total merits received
3. Total merits received in the last 120 days
4. Profile age

And create an ad hoc formula to determine the user's quality rating

For example
>100 = Legend
>80 <100 = top contributor
>50 <80 = good poster
>20 <50 = normal user
<=20 shitposter

This is just an example, the main problem would be assigning this score.
The formula to use, and whether it is reliable as a formula!
Let's say it's a fairly complex idea! I would like to hear your thoughts on this.

That would be my idea, as suggested by LoyceV analysis. Two ratio: merit/post since registration (something that should be easily achievable by parsing the very same informations already displayed, and the merit/posts ratio of the last 120 days.
I have no clue which trickery you could use for this last ratio.

Here I am, Fillippone! I've read part of the thread, not all of it to be honest. But what exactly would you like to see included in a userscript or web browser extension?
Let's see if I can be of help or if it's something complicated.
Unfortunately, evaluating a post is always subjective! What I might label as a quality post, you might label as useless or not very useful.

I was thinking of adding a figure under each user profile that calculates the total average of Merits received based on the posts written. Could that be useful?

thanks for replying, i want to learn how to create a raw txt of a transaction. to prevent pubkey from go online. on public pool
until it included in a block. (hope you understand me)

exactly. offline raw tx is protect you private key. my goal rom is topic is to learn how to create raw hex and send it privatley to  pool to be mine. to hid the public key from poblic bots.

viabtc or mara, till now don't know how to generate or create this raw hex to give to them

That's an interesting way of looking at "dynamics" on the forum; it would be nice to see it implemented on an extension or something similar (*Ace*, are you there?).
I don't see shitposter ranking up easily as a failure of the merit system.
I would say the merit system failed if good posters don't rank up easily.

In my merit awarding thread, maybe a few, or a lot of merit-worth posts (according to my own criteria) turned out to be given to shitposters. I plead guilty to that.
In the big scheme of things, 42 merits don't change much. As LoyceV recognised, there are shitposters with hundreds of merits.

I never really thought about that, but it makes perfect sense. An interesting "discovery".

Thanks for all the comments.

The real objective of the project?  Sounds sinister!    Originally I wanted to see what I could develop in AI (see my topic in PD) but recently I've become disenchanted with the centralization of the merit system.  I surf a lot while developing and I come across posts with new ideas.  I prefer novel ideas or information over the regular conversational post.  But most often I'm out of sMerit because I'm not a source; I don't want to be a source again.   I struggle to merit a good post while I see sources dumping double digits on posts like "bitcoin to the moon!".  It's tied to forum growth and income.  It's political and commercial.  It's no longer a merit system.

This project is an attempt at Alternative Recognition.  It separates itself from the merit system in a superior way (from a freedom and privacy pov).  "Shadow" indicates the anonymity of the pulser - you can actually mark a post you like without worrying about consequences.   The reports are real time (on page refresh for now) and superior to the merit system.   However - you need an extension to use it.  :/   It will require promotion to reach a critical level, and I'm hoping the non-refresh front page will eventually start showing some fun animations.  "Pulse" indicates a temp shock to the network - every user will see someone pulsed (even the post +Pulse will flash if you can see it) and hopefully it will increase trending threads.

I am not planning on increasing the scope - no Telegram integration or bots.  I use a Canadian CDN and Redis to support up to 10K simultaneous users and present all data in real time.  It's main and only purpose is to provide a way for everyone to have an equal say in good content. 

To answer your other query joker - would you use a tampermonkey script?  I'm not sure if it's possible but I can look into it if enough are interested. 

TOR - LoyceV finally convinced me to try the network.   I added the website but word is the loading is slow - I want to address that, and if the TOR browser allows extensions, I'll do that too.

I locked the previous thread because the new design is a complete redesign.  I no longer focus on a visible extension but integration with the forum HTML.  Usage is simple - I will add instructions for all the settings, and document EXACTLY what is grabbed from the page.

1. Click +Pulse on any post you like, as often as you like.    The system recognizes your random extension id, not your IP address or cookies.
2. The end of each week, top 90% of users will gain increased pulse power


BPIP scans every profile and ranks them - something only Theymos can do otherwise.  I don't rank anything other than the number of pulses received by your posts.

Correct, but also quite wrong -- this is not the primary reason why people are losing their coins, not even close. What blind signing does is abstract away some of the details, but the primary culprit is interacting with malicious and phishing contracts. Do you really think that the average user would be able to interpret the calls when doing an interaction even if they were hidden? Absolutely not. Those that can drain everything that you have because most of these shitcoins have token standards that do not have native ownership. Even if wallets had complete clear signing, this would still not prevent most of these cases of scamming. What is the difference between a legitimate contract and fraudulent contract that requires you to approve unlimited allowance for USDC and similar actions (say deposit/stake)? Nothing, the average user would never be able to tell even if all ABI information was displayed for every contract (it never will be).

What they do over there is generally terrible, but let's be clear about the real causes of things. The best type of attack that shows how shitcoins are stupid is the one where a single signing drains all of your balances across every chain of the same type and all of their layers from a hardware wallet, for example EVM based chains. 

Custodial services suck, but in terms of user failures in this case there is nothing different between a custodial or non custodial wallet. A proper failure to to store key information (which differs between wallet types) and then forgetting it will lead to a loss of coin or coin being stuck in both cases.

Correct, but wrong. Pretty much all cracking is closed source on average, this includes everything from software to video games for Windows. If you download it from suspicious sources, then you may get in trouble. If you download it from legitimate sources and authors, you will be fine. The percentage of users that get malware this way is very tiny compared to the users that successfully use things. Yes, it would be better if it were open source -- but this is the realistic state of things. Activators should not be singled out, people who use activators are likely using other software or games that are cracked too. Anyway, if I recall correctly there was once an open source activator for Windows 10 but I don't know if it that is still a thing.

If you buy a pre-built computer or a laptop maybe, but that is for the amateurs. 

Well it's a good eye you have must say I checked them out and I have sent out some merits as promised. Next time instead of creating a thread you could report such posts to already existing threads there are a couple of them across the forum I think LoyceV has one though it's better really long since I visited it.

Lol I laughed out hard when I read this.. I've not seen any sources too lazy to send out merit. It's just if a user has too many garbage posts over time sources don't bother to read it.

Plus didn't Ledger servers get hacked again and their users' personal information were leaked and sold in the Dark Markets?

Those sorts of situations/issues shouldn't be happening twice with a company such as Ledger. How high is the probability that nefarious actors are working in the company? Or possibly North Koreans?

Not very foxy to use AI to write foxy stuff.

Rest of his posts are too short to say anything.

Why did you have to do him like that?  . You just called his suggestion lame without using too much words. That's harsh!

Maybe you misunderstand my post in some way?
Misquote perhaps?

Because I haven't mentioned any resistance about using importdescriptors command.
In fact, I even described that it's easy to learn (based on LoyceV's expertise) and the next snipped sentence says that it will not take a minute to do.

Yeah but many DT still red trust the account with small mistake by applying other btc address

There are 99 people at that address who are ready to beat anyone mercilessly if one of them (cheater) insists on using that address for any campaign 

List of topics and members I ignore is growing every day, and that makes it easier to navigate the forum.

Bitcoin board has silently and gradually morphed into News board.
I can still find some useful information there and I do post there sometimes, but not like I did few years ago.

​@LoyceV
​>The solution is simple.
>After writing down the seed phrase (+passphrase, if there's any), regenerate the wallet from your backup and see if it gives you the same addresses.

​This is exactly the "lightbulb moment" I needed. Thank you.
I was so focused on the fear of typing it wrong later, that I forgot I can (and should) strictly verify it now before sending a single satoshi. If I wipe the device, restore from paper, and get the same addresses — the "typo risk" is effectively zero.

​@Forsyth Jones
​>You can use a password manager like KeepassXC to generate them for you (on an offline PC/laptop).

​Great idea. Since I am already using KeePassXC on my offline machine for other credentials, generating a high-entropy passphrase there avoids the "human brain is bad at randomness" problem.
​Thanks for the masterclass, everyone. I feel much more confident using the 25th word now.

At first I was surprised to see this photo, because one person wearing black used to be my customer he used to sell his Crypto in large quantities to me, because in 2017 I was an Official Partner of one of the Local Exchanges.
I also had time to ask about the photo, he said yes it was a long time ago I had retired from the forum, he said, I have given some accounts to friends as he added.

So my observation was that initially there was one person who had multiple accounts and then hired some people like in the photo, after the worker understood how to cheat, they workers started creating livestock accounts as well.
In some of the cases that I have already revealed the pattern is the same there are still people who practice such practices, evident in the confession of someone who claims that what I have revealed is mostly theirs, here. <= I am also sure that ABCbits and YOSHIE can verify and understand the chat text in the screenshot.

---

Yes, it should not be justified, these cheaters will always make excuses when, for example: account A is caught, then account A argues that it belongs to account B, When account B is also caught, they also argue that it belongs to account C. even though they are all account farming. As in the case I mentioned above.

The key difference between the existing Web3 and my proposed solution is that my version can, in theory, operate without the internet at all, even internationally, unlike other projects that operate exclusively over the internet. The problem is that it's unlikely that international cables for KeyNet will be built in the initial stages of the project's development, and it's likely they won't allow it. Therefore, there will certainly be a dependence on existing networks like the internet, but the goal of the project is to reduce this dependence.
Blockchain is necessary in this case to confirm ownership of domains/addresses, as well as to enable DNS functionality, where each backbone will have up-to-date and, most importantly, reliable information, which will be distributed decentrally, not by a single central authority.

For the most part, me too.  Lolol.  But last year I was all over Hyperliquid and their ecosystem..  More like their community's attempt to start an ecosystem.  I gotta be honest, I really thought it was gonna he easy for them and would happen like what happened to Solana.

In the end, not a lot of people went over and all the protocols that had their TGE mostly flopped which caused other tokenless protocols to postpone their own TGE.

I did'nt knew I was a shitposter in your sight and I was on your ignore list as well 💔 but it's ok now I know, and I will try to be a better poster for you but if I am not receiving any merit, how is that my mistake! Because I try to be useful, add value,and  try to be active and helpful. I was most active in early days because of free time and forum was new, getting merit feels good and still feel good but now I focus on other things as well and I still want to earn merits but I am not getting any and I am also active on the other forums too that are time taking and eat half of my time I used to give here, and other than this, most of members have groups, they only shares merits to each other but I am not blamming anyone or saying the merit system is rigged but it is a subjective thing if someone is on the buddy list or love list of someone else's sight and receiving merits from them I don't mind.

But if I am not on someone's love list and not receiving merits, or not in any group and not receiving merits, how is that my fault? I can just try my best and take my time to get benefit of the events like fillippone's Merit giveaway and if that was not nice for me to do in your sight then I will not participate in the upcoming giveaways or anything that rewards merit although I had two on my sight because it would benefit me two way one I would learn a lot, second I would get some merit (i was planning on running node for past three months) but I am lazy as hell and got less time but I enjoy every bit here.

Now about serious boards, I think btc discussion, trading discussion, help and beginners are not one of those, I was active most there, I then started to participate in ann, technical (to learn some shit) made some posts under services (to learn some shit) I was here to learn and ask question and get answers and use it for my own benefits and i kinda like it too.

Thanks for your insightful comments about me and I will do my best from now on. New year resolution now to be unignored by you 

Not quite, Alice used Bob's address, name, rank & post count.

It reminds me of this:

[/quote]

What do you expect lol.... This forum has been around for over a decade and considering how many posts we have per day across the forum, you should expect discussions to run out hence repetitions. Arguably, there's no way you could discuss something new every single time about bitcoin for an entire decade considering the post count on the forum.

Spamming is inevitable it's why we have moderators and everyone has a role to play too so long you have the report to moderator button. I'm doing as much as I can to report low quality posts most times I think more users should do too.

Thanks!


I will try this one first.

I was just seeing my old posts where I saw a reply to my post, by Alpen who replied me on a post of mine. I got suspicous seeing his reply and decided to run a check unfortunately for him he turned out to be a Ai shitposter.

Ps: he was tagged by LoyceV as an Ai spammer. He is also doing a good job in disguising the Ai Generated Text after getting the Tag but it's sure That he's still using Ai.

Luckily, I'm not affected by this since I'm still using v29.0.

Good thing that the previous migration process of v29 and below isn't affected since I've used it a few times and it never failed,
Or is it?

I'm not persuading you to upgrade but it should be easy for you to learn the new importdescriptors command to import WIFs wrapped as single-key descriptors.
Once you get the hang of it, it should be simple enough to do within a minute (excluding rescan of course)

I don’t like to upgrade very often but I did upgrade to 29.0 not long back because of all the Knots nonsense going on. I just wanted to make sure I was pre 30.0 as I had a feeling there could be problems.

As for importprivkey, I have ‘t done that for a very long time but literally only became aware a few days agoacter reading on here that the process has changed to a slightly more techie way of doing it. I don’t know why that was messed with, it was fine as it was.

Butts have been kicked and I'm keeping an eye on a possible alt.

Terrible prospect, I can’t even imagine this with Bitcoin Core.

Luckily, I use Bitcoin Core solely as a node, not as the wallet. My stash is controlled by hardware wallet, namely Passport Core. But the chance that someone could be caught by this bug ^{if they haven’t been already} isn’t zero. Brrrr.

64,000 sent out wow.. this got me a little bit more surprised because I don’t know how the 64,000 came about looking at your total merit is not even upto that amount you have a total of about 20,800 merit and I was thinking smerit is Always  half of what you earned .or probably  it’s not same with the the merit source ?

I will be using zasad@ template


This are people I look up to.


The both act as robot in the forum. Brilliant in whatever they do and say.



Very good in sharing technical information's that has been useful.



My favorite event in the forum and off the forum.

Will forever be the best crypto project to exist during my era.

Ninjastic.space which is now Bitlist can now have many features and things to interact to when using the site.


Have hosted best contest in the local board. Motivated many to become good chef. So much art in cooking.



Mia Chloe is the best gift Theymos gave us in the year 2025. He has been the most active merit sources, followed by Igebotz and Brainboss.


I trust the verdict of lovemayfamilis more in the reputation board, than others there. Also, Satoprincess has been wonderful in our local board, including in the general forum.

Because a forum user decided to wear a signature or an avatar of a particular project, it will ruin the reputation of the manager managing the campaign. I don't understand how you thought about this. There is alot of freedom in the forum. The projects make their campaign and avatar public, so anyone can decide to give them free promotion. Why talking about whose reputation is bad. How about if LoyceV decides to wear the signature of a particular project for free, will it raise as much uproar?

Signature space is personal and the owner decides what they advertise their in as much as it is a legal product or services. If neutral tag is given to such a person for wearing a random signature, and also be removed when they remove the signature, it means you are given someone a full time job to check these things and leave the tag.

I think some of these features still exist but I'm sure they exist in:
https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/ddmrddmr/viz/BitcointalkMeritDashboard/PersonalSummary and https://bitlist.co/search


Seeing ads/promotions of a platform and products has a way of influencing individuals decision except in scenario where trust and reputation is broken or unknown and that's the importance of branding many of these platforms or services get through the campaigns run at BTT.


To be honest, the rate of me going to my browser to search for a brand I saw here is higher than the number of times I actually clicked a signature campaign link.

Also, we don't need to forget that when recommending others to this brand(s) we often are not sharing them a sig campaign link but rather sharing the brand name. Many just want trust rather than just trying to test something just because we saw it online. This is why those in the forum with more inluence and reputation will get more users for a brand since it is easier to trust the brand they promote.

It therefore means that if anyone posts good and quality posts, they will also receive some merits from you. It is just fine like that, but I doubt you will have the time to go through all the applications.

I ran some very low-effort statistics on the spree here:

Is DdmrDdmr even human?

I also noticed that he merited some posts he had already merited and some new ones: strangely, I thought there was a correlation between the two sets and the amount of merits, but I failed, even if I think there are good chances the "marker" for the post he "missed" was the source of the merit.

In one way or another, this thread will be beneficial to different classes of forum users!
Mission accomplished!

I try to do the same thing with real life products as well; I know it doesn't really accomplish anything but it gives me some kind of personal satisfaction. You're lucky you don't live in the US where people are bombarded by highly-polished drug commercials 24/7. As an American, there's a diligence involved with keeping your guard up against ads if you want to maintain independent thought, lol.


"but these are my best posts and thats why i put them in this thread!"

Actually, I see your point.

@apogio, I will use your template too  


RESERVED -- WORK IN PROGRESS


I follow LoyceV posta since I was a newbie in 2017/2018. I believe few users have dedicated so much time and effort in thia forum as LoyceV

Bitcoin knowledge isn't just about technical support.
This guys discuss bitcoin price, accumulation,  strategies to withdrawal, retirement and everything related to it in all ways possible.
Certainly a very important part of the bitcoin world.



At first I didnt expect this project to become so important. I use it in both forums (here and altcoinstalks). Certainly the project is use the most here.
