Post by: Little Mouse on June 18, 2024, 03:08:07 AM
I haven't seen this feature earlier, I used to see the last active time. Has this been recently introduced?

It can be seen here posted by theymos but of course with the help of the master developer PowerGlove. It is mentioned as the changed way to determine the use of online/active status.

Small improvement regarding activity / "Show others your online status" (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5499728.0)

The only thing I see wrong with this is that you could use it as an indicator when looking for alts that break the rules, because many times the same person would connect with both accounts and log out of both within seconds of each other. But as it usually happens with these things, what gives privacy to us who respect the rules also gives it to those who break them.

Just another wizardry by none other than @PowerGlove to add to our ancient forum. Although this is something I might never actually use, because I would rather show myself as active here so that people know they can contact me in need.

Feels like Whatsapp now, no offense though. ;D

Previously when I used to hunt alt accounts, learning from the best here like Lauda (miss you :'() this metric was the poorest among the evidence that can be used to prove accounts to be alts. Usually same addresses and transactions were more concrete evidences.
