Title: Three millionth account registered Post by: icopress on January 15, 2021, 05:38:35 PM In May 2017, we celebrated the first million users, which is almost 8 years after the launch of the forum. Looking back, some of us may remember the discussion dedicated to the anniversary 2 millionth user who was registered on 03/04/2018. And although it was an alternative account, this does not negate the fact that it was a historical moment when we summed up the results and looked into the future with enthusiasm.
https://i.imgur.com/WcFUgpR.png This is the anniversary thread and the continuation of the discussion started by Vod...... Are you ready for 2,000,000? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3245195.msg33828303#msg33828303) / Below are a few anniversary quotes .. Sorry if it sounds VERY ironic that an alt has been the 2000000th account on this platform, but there are quite a few things that I have to tell you all, possibly a new post will be better. I started as a small BTC speculative investor and cared little about the tech, I then became a shitposting Bounty Hunter. But over the months I've come to realize that it's much more than being either of them. I am trying to learn about the technology, not only BTC, but also the alts. I feel that the socio-economic impact/aspect of this revolution will be far more reaching than just the tech and it is yet to come, although I still am a noob and monetize my original account (can't help it, the pay is lucrative); I try to improve my posts and contribute to the community in the small ways that I can. Hi guys, I am glad to take the uid #1999999. Title: Re: [24h] Three Millionth User Post by: icopress on January 15, 2021, 05:41:09 PM I believe many will try to register this coveted three millionth ID, so if you suddenly decide, remember that the name "Three Millionth Loser" is already taken.
- And by the way, below you can see a more accurate forecast presented by tranthidung. So if this parameter (new daily members) won't break it record in 2021 at 11413, the forum will need more than 24 hours (~ 1.47 days) to hit the 3th million users.

So if we sum up all archived profiles, inactive and active, we get "Largest profile on Bitcointalk", (2,177,346+651,889+170,047=2,999,282). I suspect deleted profiles are merged with archived ones ... (clarification). In any case, on the bpip website, you can view not only statistics, but use many other interesting features.Total members == to number of registered users correct? Edited: Wow, it's good that someone quickly realized their mistake [****0] .... But I managed to read it and I can say that then the numbers do not converge. Bpip displays 5 columns related to accounts (and as far as I know, deleted accounts did not violate general numerology in any way). Therefore, I concluded that remote profiles should be included in either "Archived Profiles", "Inactive Profiles" or "Active Profiles" (which is unlikely). Title: Re: [24h] Three Millionth User Post by: tranthidung on January 16, 2021, 04:53:09 AM About plots
As of writing, the forum has 2983322 members totally, according to Stats center (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats) Now, let's go to some available stats and small estimation.
Code: Summary for variables: n_mem How about daily new posts? In contrast to daily new members, the statistic for total of daily new posts reached its peak in December 2020, not in January of 2021. Below are some plots and stats. Data interpretation can make in the same way above. Possible reasons:
Raw results Code: Summary for variables: n_posts Details Code: +-----------------------------+ Recent rises and spikes from daily new members, daily new posts, and woke-up cases probably come from same or different companies. The common thing is they come from spammers or people want to do attacks on the forum, try to compromise the forum for their own jobs.

Lol, I merited him because even if the 3 millionth member mark hasn't been hit yet (perhaps by now it has), this thread made me aware of how many registered users there actually are--it's a fact that I don't really care about, but when it hits a level that high it's sort of interesting.Too bad it's just a large number and doesn't at all reflect on the quality of the membership on the forum. So many accounts are alts or inactive or are just straight-up shitposters that 3 million is completely inflated if you compare it to the number of members active right now who don't just drop spam like they're throwing a bottle of piss from their car onto the highway. You know what I mean even if I'm not expressing it correctly. As it stands, it's the lowest numbers that are the ones to be the proudest of.

Whoever created those accounts he used most likely a script. All 3 accounts were created without the user logged in, so Last active stays at : Never.

Things have changed but not that much, there's always people hungry for $ and back in 2017 there were less restrictions than now it was a lot easier to automate everything and make money from almost nothing. There are some significant changes in the forum that reduced the amount of "bounty hunters" and put the brake on the spam but they are not gone completely.

Title: Re: Three millionth account registered Post by: icopress on January 21, 2021, 08:12:17 PM Can anyone explain such a high activity? We passed the 3 million registration mark literally 4 days ago... And over the past three days, 65,000 accounts have been registered, an average of 20,000 per day, which is much higher than the average statistical values presented by tranthidung, (although activity related to publications remains at the same level).

In these instances its not possible to stop bots from registering without it having a negative effect on legitimate new users, so to be able to slow down attacks we would need to come up with a solution which addresses the issue at hand, while also not effecting normal usage. A quick brain storm probably brings up a sort of "quiz" which has randomly generated questions, and in a randomized order. This could serve as a way of a "tutorial" to using Bitcointalk, very much like the newbie welcome messages that's been mentioned in the past. However, this would likely still be too intrusive, versus its effectiveness. Maybe we can't stop them but we can slow them down. We can't expect people to revise to enter the forum, at the same time we can't expect new users to be familiar with the forum software or Bitcoin. The latter especially, since that's probably the reason they're registering in the first place.

The goals here are different, with the growth of bitcoin, the number of spammers and cheaters will grow. Today I see advertising of various ICO on the bounty boards again. Thus, there will be at least 10 accounts per person. Hence, we can assume the real number of living people who visit the forum every day. And this figure, unfortunately, is very far from 3 million.
Probably it would be possible to restrict registrations, at least using IP.

Since the introduction of merit system, the account farming is no more profitable and also there is no incentive for making multiple accounts for a single person. It better to make a single account and rank it up, rather than having 10 newbies accounts.

Probably it would be possible to restrict registrations, at least using IP. Admins already restricted registrations with ''evil fees'' for suspicious IP. I'm not sure the forum really benefits so much from a lot of registered accounts but no one can be prohibited from registering here. Still, the newbie account doesn't really have much value here and that's a good thing. Title: Hello World! Post by: Three Millionth User on January 27, 2021, 10:31:23 PM Hello World! I am proud to have registered on Bitcointalk and to have received a unique 3 millionth ID. I also received some welcome messages which were very encouraging for me, and I want to say that I will never use my account for shitposting.
I hope that by the time we see the ten millionth registration the forum will not have undergone significant changes and the newcomers of the future will have to deal with the version of the forum that exists in its current form. Although in 10 years the information on Bitcointalk will still be relevant, I really hope that for future newbies we will not have to create simplified guides, despite the fact that each generation becomes dumber. I hope in the future the situation with activity will become clearer, and we will see an influx of fresh blood! Bitcoin HODL! Title: Re: Three millionth account registered Post by: Quickseller on January 27, 2021, 11:17:19 PM Congrats.

Since you are clearly a brand new forum member, there is a lot for you to learn about. You can start by reviewing the unofficial forum rules (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0).

Post by: icopress on January 28, 2021, 01:10:05 PM It is a big coincidence when registered as the 3th millionth user and chose exactly the fitted username for your userID. ;D You noticed very accurately ... even if we disregard the coincidence with the username, we still cannot deny the fact that this thread was hidden on the second or third page, (unless, of course, no one pointed out this thread to him). I think the owner of this account at least already wrote in this thread.I really hope that for future newbies we will not have to create simplified guides, despite the fact that each generation becomes dumber. I would not say that future generations are becoming dumber ... Perhaps they read and communicate less tete-a-tete, but definitely not become dumber. I personally watched a preschool child try to turn on cartoons, thinking that old tube television has a touch panel. Each subsequent generation becomes smarter than the previous one, because they have access to such a huge variety of information that we did not have with you.Title: Re: Three millionth account registered Post by: Mistafreeze on January 28, 2021, 08:41:55 PM Do you want to celebrate this event with us? Join the unofficial Discord server! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5247383) In May 2017, we celebrated the first million users, which is almost 8 years after the launch of the forum. Looking back, some of us may remember the discussion dedicated to the anniversary 2 millionth user who was registered on 03/04/2018. And although it was an alternative account, this does not negate the fact that it was a historical moment when we summed up the results and looked into the future with enthusiasm.
https://i.imgur.com/WcFUgpR.png This is the anniversary thread and the continuation of the discussion started by Vod...... Are you ready for 2,000,000? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3245195.msg33828303#msg33828303) / Below are a few anniversary quotes .. Sorry if it sounds VERY ironic that an alt has been the 2000000th account on this platform, but there are quite a few things that I have to tell you all, possibly a new post will be better. I started as a small BTC speculative investor and cared little about the tech, I then became a shitposting Bounty Hunter. But over the months I've come to realize that it's much more than being either of them. I am trying to learn about the technology, not only BTC, but also the alts. I feel that the socio-economic impact/aspect of this revolution will be far more reaching than just the tech and it is yet to come, although I still am a noob and monetize my original account (can't help it, the pay is lucrative); I try to improve my posts and contribute to the community in the small ways that I can. Hi guys, I am glad to take the uid #1999999. This is amazing achievement and speaks volumes about the growing popularity of Bitcoin and crypto. I am glad I am one of those 3 millions members and I hope I am doing my bit to promote crypto to many others like me. Title: Re: Hello World!

By the way, 2 million UID was made by high ranked Bitcointalk member for reasons that I mentioned above https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2000000 Ir would be interesting to know real number of Bitcointalk members, excluding bots and alts. Because large number from these 3 millions hasn't even made single post here. Title: Re: Three millionth account registered Post by: acroman08 on January 28, 2021, 11:44:39 PM --snip congrats! it is interesting(a little envious to be honest) you the three millionth user already have a custom title. I wonder if it is an inbuilt feature given for whoever gets the unique ID of a millionth or if theymos gave it to you as a reward for being the three millionth user?Title: Re: Three millionth account registered Post by: Quickseller on January 29, 2021, 01:01:41 AM Title: Re: Three millionth account registered Post by: icopress on January 29, 2021, 02:31:58 AM This person has a custom title of "yes really". It makes me wonder if this person is an admin who was able to automatically create this account once UID 2999999 was used. To be honest, I was also a little surprised when I saw the Custom Title, but it seems to me that the admins have nothing to do with creating this account.

This is not entirely true ... in reality, there are 100 times fewer truly active accounts. And if we also exclude bounty hunters from the equation, then even less. While BPIP data shows that there are currently 250,000 active accounts, it is worth considering the fact that these numbers include 100,000 newly registered accounts (literally in 10 days). So the overall situation is pretty sad.Title: Re: Hello World!

Because large number from these 3 millions hasn't even made single post here. What we can find out if we look Active users and top posters on Bitcointalk.org in the past 7 days (https://loyce.club/active/7d.html) that the number of active users in that period is 15207, of which Newbie 3178, and brand new 8611. It is easy to conclude that a fairly small number of old members are active (in total 1341 Senior, Hero and Legendary). So the overall situation is pretty sad. I can only tell you that the number of active users was half as low there somewhere during 2019 and early 2020, so this number is not so bad.

Post by: The Cryptovator on February 05, 2021, 05:47:31 PM ~snip~ Welcome to the forum. I was quite surprised when I see your username on a post and being curious to know more. As a newbie, you choose a username that exactly matching with your UID. It's pretty impossible for a newbie. I am assuming you are from admin/moderators or one of the tech guys like LoyceV. The custom title was more surprising because it's not possible without admin help. Anyways best of Luck. Title: Re: Hello World! Post by: LoyceV on February 05, 2021, 06:07:21 PM like LoyceV.

Lol, clearly! ::) Almost all newbies clearly make their first posts in Meta, clearly something you know a bit about. And clearly kind of you to point this clearly new member to the rules, I'm sure all clearly see that is is not subterfuge. Clearly. Whats my number? I just regged. Hello world! No body move, no body get's hurt, 54, 46, that's my number Oyo! Title: Re: Three millionth account registered Post by: suchmoon on February 07, 2021, 02:25:08 AM Pretending you're new is one thing, but this charade of "I know everyone but nobody knows who I am" is getting cringy. The good news is that I don't need to label this as a "fake newbie" - it stands out like a sore thumb already.
Title: Re: Three millionth account registered Post by: FIFA worldcup on February 07, 2021, 03:50:32 AM This is not entirely true ... in reality, there are 100 times fewer truly active accounts.

While BPIP data shows that there are currently 250,000 active accounts, it is worth considering the fact that these numbers include 100,000 newly registered accounts (literally in 10 days). So the overall situation is pretty sad. You cannot exclude the bounty hunters from the active user list as they post on forum and are considered active. It does not matter if they are reporting their bounty or doing normal discussion post. Also i believe this number will increase with time as more people become aware of bitcoin and then bitcointalk. Title: Re: Three millionth account registered Post by: iamsheikhadil on February 07, 2021, 04:53:55 AM At this rate, the number of accounts will grow dramatically every week. Probably the forum likes it since there is such an opportunity to register thousands of accounts for one person. The goals here are different, with the growth of bitcoin, the number of spammers and cheaters will grow. Today I see advertising of various ICO on the bounty boards again.

Probably it would be possible to restrict registrations, at least using IP. Well, even if IP restrictions are placed, scammers will just use VPN or other devices. The way to stop the spam is to regulate the bounty section and make certain regulations like the amount of persons who can participate in the campaign, and ranks. Many bounties accept totally new accounts for their campaigns on social media which leads the spammers to create new accounts. If there's a bar placed like "minimum member rank" then it can be stopped to a great extent.

Already today, many sites and forums use the Fingerprint JS and Browser Fingerprint analytics system. Owners want to know how many first-time visitors they have on their site and how many regular users. But everything has been discussed many times, and the privileges that are given on this forum, in terms of the ability to have multiple accounts, are not always used in the right way. Once again, the introduction of the Fingerprint analytics system would instantly weed out all other alternative accounts.

Check it out at your leisure [A Cypherpunk's Manifesto (https://www.activism.net/cypherpunk/manifesto.html)] Our community must develop in a natural environment, not in an environment of prohibitions and restrictions. I am sure that Fingerprint JS and Browser Fingerprint or any other similar products will never be implemented in the forum software, (user privacy will be preserved in the form in which it is now as long as a million bitcoins remain inactive). And do not forget that if the administration at the official level really prohibited the registration of alt accounts, you would lose your job.Title: Re: Three millionth account registered Post by: Betaj00 on February 11, 2021, 05:18:44 PM Yes this is really very good news for forum and us. Also this is very positive things of bitcointalk forum. I think this has possible only for bitcointalk Forum’s popularity and only for this reason many people join with bitcointalk forum.
