Title: BiPolarBob new posts checker v1.0
Post by: amacar on August 23, 2014, 11:50:51 PM
I think that everybody knows "crazy" BiPolarBob and his deals. It is also known that his deals are first come first serve.
So I made application that notifies you when he makes new comment. It is very early version so there might be bugs.
If people will be interested in application for tracking other users and if I get any donations I can make better version.

So every donations are welcomed to my BTC address: 1DeDfZa9ChugcfHm4itM1hmyMpzkLRvLPk
You need to have .net framework 2.0 installed.

VERSION:
1.) Checking only BiPolarBob
2.) Check all users based on bitcointalk forum user id.

lol!

Would you need to run the application in the background or is it automatic, whether it's turned on or off?
Also, it would be even more useful if you can choose a user to "follow" and instead of BiPolarBob, you could see whenever any user makes a new post.

Oh yeh, and Source code?

Application must run all the time, but it is lightweight so don't think it will cause problems.

Yes I am planning to improve application but don't think that I will do this for free.

OMG lol it took me 2 mins to stop my eyes watering from laughing at this topic

This is brilliant and only someone on this forum could come up with such a mad idea.

I hope its clean, because you Sir are a funny man, and I guess this could actually be useful for tracking other users etc

Good job

Hey,
Actually this guy bob is giving away things for real or he is just postig things like that.
Look at that topic:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=751390.0
He is saying he is giving away one LTC to every one who just post his ltc address. Now the topic is locked, but not sure if he actually paid to these guys who posted their address. Can someone confirm that he got paid from Bob? :D

Yes, he is legit. I got 20$ steam code for 3$ from him. That is why I wrote this program so that I won't miss his deals again.

I could vouch him. I got $20 Steam code for 0.003, $50 Amazon for 0.02, and free 1 LTC lol
He must be a very rich person, one of the early adopters maybe ;)

Hahaha nice program. I won't use it because you didn't posted the source and we can't verify 100% that it do not have a backdoor.

I thank about making a program similar a week ago  ;) ;)

Source is added in OP in dropbox link.

I change program so now you can check any bitcointalk user. Just put in his user id.

BiPolarBob has been banned for 30 days because he gave away LTC. This is against the "Giveaway threads are not allowed"-rule (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=434310.0), which was added because all the Altcoin giveaways where spamming the forum. It sucks, I know, but I totally get the rule and I thought it was fair to let you guys know.

However, I am highly against the program posted by amacar, since it's cheating in my opinion.

I know it seems unfair, but rules are rules. Anyone that does that kind of giveaways will be banned. The staff only enforces the rules and I totally get that.

Classic. This forum's staff never seem to ban trolls, but they ban the guy giving out hundreds of dollars for free. They also sit on 1000+ BTC, and generate several thousand dollars worth of BTC every time they sell their ad slots. What exactly is this money going towards? They need to fix the trust system, quite a few people on the default trust list shouldn't be there. Everyones feedback should be valued (known scammers / trolls need to get banned in order for this to work), the system should be that everyone's feedback shows up to everyone. Maybe make newbie / junior accounts count as 1/2 a feedback point in order to prevent scammers from getting quick feedback.

+1 fully agree
I also agree, but the point is, that rules are rules.

And how stupid it may seem, if you let 1 guy give-away, the other's are going to create a shitstorm "becouse he may do it than I should be allowed to do it too" prencipal, so it seems kinda good that they did it, ofcourse I don't like the rule is there, but oh well..

Just have to wait a few weeks on o'l BiPolarBob and his deals  :'(

BTW
Fuc*in* Google Chrome opinion is that the file is harmfull and therefore cannot be downloaded, bullshit, I'm opening the IE :P haven't even got a wallet on my PC so who cares..
Okay, now IE also gives ton's of warning, and now my Windows gives Smartscreen warnings, fu*k all of this, I can't even download a file anymore on this Windows Crap.

I understand that they don't allow giveaway, but still banning BiPolarBob who is not spaming with giveaways is too much.
Warning over PM would be enough for him that he will start selling 1 LTC for 0.01LTC or something like that.

The staff on this site is fucking shit. I've had posts removed before for being called spam, when I was pointing out someone else was scamming. Yet they do not remove the scam posts. That's fucking ridiculous if he really got banned. Mods and admins don't do shit about the hundreds, if not thousands of dollars scammed daily on here, but when someone gives away free money. "OH SHIT WE GOTTA BAN HIM"

If he's not unbanned soon I will leave, and I encourage everyone else to do the same. Also encourage to stop donating, people lose enough money on bitcointalk.

Yup, mods don't care about the scammers at all. They won't ban scammers or remove the scammers' posts.
If you get scammed, you are the one to be blamed for being stupid and greedy.

I would checkout the code if he provided it, but he hasn't. So, I am going to use a .NET decompile tool to check it out.
Oh wait, he has. Let me check it out real quick.

EDIT: It's safe, I just checked. It really doesn't do anything more than what amacar said it does. All good ;D

Thought about the intention of this program a little more, and man you guys are greedy. Bob's stuff were dirt cheap (or even free), as if that was not enough, now you must stalk him to take advantage of his generosity.

The source may be safe (I haven't checked it), but how do we know that the executable doesn't have anything extra in it that's not in the source he released?

You still need to build it from source to be sure, not many people will do that - most will just run the executable he provided.

There is no malware. This program was made for fun and to get maybe some donations but doesn't look like that anyone is interested, especialy now when BiPolarBob is banned. Maybe I can do any other app if someone has job for me as I have enough free time.
