Title: Is there a way to search a keyword in one users posts?
Post by: FFrankie on June 30, 2017, 03:44:52 PM
I am looking for a post by theymos that explains how a poll could be created where a user can lie about what they voted for but the results still come out the same

it was in a thread asking about if a persons vote in a pole could be used against them in a court of law but theymos had a really good explanation of how a poll could be set up so that it couldnt


But with 7k messages and no view all button its annoying to go through that many pages of posts searching for one key word is there a way to view all of a users posts on a single page?

theymos doesn't make that many posts so if it was fairly recent you could easily just go through his post history and cntrl + f to use the keyword you want (I've done it before when trying to find something).

You can search in google. It works very well.  I myself always search in google when I want to find something in bitcointalk.
There is also some options such as selecting a special user in this forum using ''SEARCH'' button at top of the page

This post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1758344.msg17560351#msg17560351)?

The more traditional setup (which I read in a statistics textbook) is something like:

Quote
Flip a coin. If heads, answer yes to the following question regardless of the truth. If tails, answer honestly.

Question: Have you ever done drugs?
Yes
No

You can use statistics to get meaningful info out of this even though the randomness is slanted toward Yes, but I don't remember off the top of my head what you're supposed to do exactly to remove the random effect. (Maybe you can just subtract half of your total respondents from Yes? And it probably changes statistical confidence, etc.) In my previous post I changed it so that the randomness is evenly distributed, which makes it easier. Though on the other hand, you really shouldn't rely on random.org if the question is truly sensitive.

Thank you, (and I just figured out you get to that link by clicking the magnifying glass next to the search bar on the top

Hes got 7000 posts but looking at the dates you are right around page 55 goes all the way back to 2014
