Now with activity, and ME for comparison!

;) BTCBTC 1TarasQyKwPJRuod6qwh7n8BjMHC49ZNY

Should have saved these for Pi Day.

God damn it you're right

hahahahahahaha you imbossile buffoon.

^_^ I'm still off that list ha-ha should put the top 500 to give it a chance

Interesting, quite an extreme usage curve

Some of the post counts are incredible

The commitment to this forum is amazing

I've been totally left out, I have 4067 posts :( nothing to be proud of I know but still I want recognition! :P

You sir, right there:
Here's to 10.000!

Looking good, you should make some more.
In the second graph you should have put all of the top posters in 1 color and the rest in another (not individually).

This is amazing, over 10000 posts is simply stunning
Would love to know what their total forum login time is!

Then you should be looking at people with the highest activity level, not top posters (there are a few people with 1k activity level, but less than 1-2k posts).

I think I saw myself in the purple... no wait...

And you can, by going to their Profile > Show general statistics for this member.

I think I might fall in that category or close to it.

Here's my logged in time:
Total time logged in: 30 days, 6 hours and 29 minutes.

I spent the better part of 2011/2012 addicted to this forum.

I think it's safe to say everyone in that pie chart still probably owns at least 100 BTC.

This is what I mean. Having a high amount of posts doesn't necessarily mean that you have a high activity level too.

I kind of just lurk here and check news feeds so 38 days lol think their is a thread to determine who lurks here longest lol activity thread

There's some guy who registered 4 months ago and has nearly 4000 posts https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=158505

At this rate, he'll be one of the top posters by the end of the year :o

Too many emoticons in his posts.

crazy...hopefully one day I'll be up there!

I don't :)
But I'm just outside of the chart also.

Name:    kano
Posts:    5178
Activity:    980
Total time logged in: 88 days, 4 hours and 57 minutes.

I also started late :P July 2011 :P

everyoneelse for the win  yaaa we beat them all  :P by about a hundred time!

I think it'd be interesting to see what percentage of folks primarily focused on the various mining subforums in 2010-2012 like you and I did. I lurked for quite a while before actually signing up (didn't you?), spending most of my time on IRC and just reading. It seems like a lot of these users listed in the OP's post have a vested interest in keeping forum activity levels higher (not their Activity rating, just forum activity in general), which is why I was thinking maybe they still owned a significant amount of BTC still.

I don't personally own enough to troll forums for the rest of my life, but I imagine at least some of the people spending their lives here 24/7 do. :P

I'll make a more in-depth chart for those of you who were left out http://imgbomb.com/i/d15/k7QMA.png

Your pie chart has most of my ignore list on it.

Respect to the big spamers in OP.

there are many , few of them is on Pi Chart :p for eg: hilariousandco , joined on November 20, 2013, and his post count is around 7000..! thats a lot..! my post count is on higher side too..!

I appreciate this thread being someone who will be posting alot on this forum I appreciate the effort you put into your pies.  Big ups to all the chatty Kathy's on good ole bitcointalk and +1 to you OP, taka a bow.

profile;u=158505 is the top posters by the month.

I dont think its good to glorify or appreciate the biggest spamers.

dude the people on that list aren't spammers their old school members of the forum and have contributed alot in one way or another.  Not saying there perfect but I wouldn't not just start throwing them all in a box and labeling them spammers.  Just my 2 cents however.

Um, I'm not sure about that. Define spammer.

Sorry I'm not gonna define spammer atm nor will sit here and defend everyone on that list but I don't think classifying them all as spammers is even remotely rational.  At very least I'd say a quarter of that list don't fit the tag spammer.

This are just people that I know of the top of my head that have good discussions on this forum and contribute for the better overall. on this forum imo.

Hope i will have as much post as them!

Do any of you guys delete old posts as time passes?

Well if the campaign rules change might filter a bit but since its based on previous post count Na for now other than the odd delete here and there

Hehe Satoshi got nowhere close with his 539 posts.

I deleted over 5000 posts and then had theymos delete the account. Holliday routinely deletes his posts down to almost nothing. The highest I ever saw his post count at was a couple of thousand.

I can't imagine anything more clear

I have deleted a handful. I treated a conspiracy theorist on here quite poorly (I basically dox'd him after showing he wasn't actually really willing to bet that I could find an Aurora shooting victim's traces on the Internet prior to the shooting, which I did and he still thought Aurora was "false flag" event) and now he thinks I'm a government agent. I believed I deleted most of my posts associated with that whole mess because it was pretty embarrassing for him and I came across as a pissed off maniac. :P

That said, he's left the forum and come back several times over now since.

Yes, I delete mine regularly.

When you delete does your activity drop with it?

Yep

Well mine did.

I think admins/possibly mods can see the posts users delete. Not sure if a trail is left behind of posts that staff delete or not.

Posts are (almost) never really deleted.


6817

There are ~250,000 deleted posts in the database, some going back to 2010.

It requires some manual work, with more work required for older posts.

Why do you delete older posts?

If the images are not loading for you guys, you can see them here:

https://i.imgur.com/u1gvTht.png (https://i.imgur.com/u1gvTht.png)

I'm waiting for the next set of graphs.

For ego/coolness reasons obvious.

But they claim other funny reasons, just wait what they say. :P

Perhaps the OP can update the pie charts?

I am bearing down on my 1000th post with aplomb
Still miles off some of this forum's truly big boys though...

Some people just post to be the first, PG for example.

>19,232

Goddamn


 ;D

I've got you covered ;)
Congrats on making the top five.
Quoted origional post, I'm about to edit it.

I'm sort of curious what the historical chart looks like and if they are winning I mean ahem um gaining pie space or losing it

Looking great. You should also do this in form of pie charts, I like those more.

I think I like the new charts better than the Pie Charts.

Here's an interesting render of the number of users with a minimum amount of posts.
https://i.imgur.com/9wJEdFU.png
https://i.imgur.com/vEewZat.png

Thanks for the update.

I'm a bit confused on the second chart

First one is total users on X axis and number with a certain amount of posts as Y

But what does the second one measure?

Looking great, keep making them.

X axis is number of posts per user, y axis is number of users with that many posts.
The top chart is on a log scale, the bottom one is not. :)

You're welcome!
Again gratz on top 5 8)

they should be in the guiness records !  ;D

Its easy to rack up posts when all you live in is speculation and off topic worlds.

I'd also like to see a weekly difference so we can see essentially velocity.

That is pretty impressive. I usually take week-long breaks from the forums to keep my sanity.

Wow  :o

I've been logged in for 63 days, 8 minutes. Time flies don't it ???  :D

Only 17 days and 13 hours! :(

Ha-ha I must admit it can get quite insane here at times especially when there is a lot of price movement

Total time logged in: 148 days, 5 hours and 32 minutes. Mines a bit broken because I have refreshers going.

They should be in therapy.

I thought I had "no life"  :D  Yous a yakkin fool Dogie!!!! But a good one though ;D

Posting a lot on an online forum = needs therapy.

LOL

I say anyone trying to give out diagnosis of what one should do with their mental state needs to get their ego checked as well as their head.

God , almost 20 thousand posts
He spent all his time just posting posting posting?

Hehe, yep some of these posters have a lot of time on their hands, it would seem... ;D

One can dream about getting to those levels of course they started in 2011 so its not really a fair comparison to 2014 and 2013 XD

You got to be kidding me.

So close, better luck next time.  :)

Nice I made it

Yuh you're soo chatty

I don't understand what the last chart is in comparison to

how many more posts people have than satoshi :)

I thought that it would be appropriate to post my 6000th post in this thread.

I'm missing in here taras, should be in the kingly spot at around #200.

20k posts jesus f christ! He must be very helpful  ;D

Not really. He's probably the biggest troll here as well as being painfully unfunny (something I don't think he's aware of).

I'm honored that you should decide to put it here :)

Nice that you were keeping count ^_^

He certainly keeps us mods busy  :-\

I can only imagine. I wonder what his deleted postcount score is? lol

Well it's right there, under my activity level.

The 7000th will be here too, unless you stop updating the thread.  :)

I certainly will keep it updated!

Well that seems like a fun thing to do so I will help now and then when it dies for a few days :P

Did someone disappear from the top 30? Looking at the chart and current top 30, I've moved up by 1 spot without overtaking anyone (didn't post much).

Goat has deleted most of his posts.

Why did he do that?

I think he's just had enough of the forum for whatever reason. I think he mentioned something along the lines of 'this forum has served its purpose".

It's becoming useless, yes. He's correct.

You should rename this "Bitcointalk High Scores" ;)

Update every 2-3 weeks maybe?

Do anyone have higher activity than Theymos ?




with 5k posts, mods keeps us under control :(

I'm not even sure what you're implying there.

I'm looking to hire someone to post on my behalf. This will accomplish 2 things. Keep my position as a top poster and increase the quality of my posts.

Eg. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone, as the saying goes. Thank you.

$20/day, 1-10 posts per day. I'll just browse normally but post under your name. I'll also proofread your posts before "approving" them so they become terribly dry and painful to read. Disappointed I have not made this list. Feels like I'm here 24/7. :(

I'm trying to think of a way to provide you write only access.

I do like your idea of making my posts useful but also painful to read. Like a tax on their soul in exchange for the information. Can you provide an example?

Ps you will not exist. I will own and have posted all your posts.

Not sure of you are being serious or not.

No.  :)

I'm serious, I just can't afford much and don't know how to provide limited access.

Well, you'd be paying people to post things similar to the following:
"HODL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"ch00 ch00 M0TH3RFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!"
"*picture of train blasting into space*"
"+1"
"AAAAAAAAAA BITCOIN IS DEAD THE PRICE WENT DOWN TO *insert current (triple digit) price*"

Well a primary goal would be to increase the quality of my posts, not decrease them.

What's the problem then?

I suspect he is covering his tracks.

He did run a few shady securities on this forum in 2012.

Also he was one of the main Pirate-pass-through "operators".

Just a guess.... ;)

Then that is most likely the case.  8)

Damn these guys can earn fortunes if they participated in sig deals

0.1BTC is not a fortune.

in the future it is  ;D , and how is it only 0.1? For example if Phinnaeus Gage went for Ritz's deal then 19,562 x 0.011 = 215.182BTC, 19,562 / 3000 = 6.5 months

So more like 3000*0.0011 = 3.3 BTC per month, a magnitude less than your calculations suggest.

And Phinn's account is almost 3 years old, whereas Ritz's been offering this "deal" for only a few weeks, you have no guarantee he will be able to continue paying so much.

Looking good, I didn't even see this one. Thank you for the share.

Quoting for record.

Well I was talking technically, and the offer was on for 3 months already BTW

Well he's paying a lot, eventually he will have to either stop accepting new people, lower rates or end the service completely.

Not if his casino grows and grows with the advertising its receiving. PD seems to have been running a long time with ads and that's just a dice game.

Ritz cult up in here

I'm half way to 60th place, I'm so close. I can feel it.

May the posting force be with you then DiamondCardz as in well maybe you will make it to that list someday lol.

Any updates on this? I think a few of the old guard may have gotten pushed out by some fresh blood.

I was actually planning on bumping this these days too. It's been 2 months since the last chart?
I think that the people in top 30 didn't change much, only their placements. Calling out OP for a refresh.
You might as well add an donation address too.

Where did you get the online time for users from?

I think that he might have gotten it from a thread (in the off-topic section I believe). There isn't a way that he can know my logged in time otherwise as far as I know.
This way he can only include people who have posted there.

Never mind, poster under me found it (new to me as well).

You can find the "Most Time Online" stat here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats

Indeed, you can check the online time for each member using his member ID.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=101872;sa=statPanel
It tells me your "Total Time Spent Online" is 19 days, 5 hours and 52 minutes now. :)

Some may use robots to send.
Im doubtful for the thing.

You're saying that some people among the top posters might be robots?
I highly doubt that they could post that long unnoticed.

Quoting for record.

And this is my 900th post. ;D

It's very telling that the top two boards are about altcoins. The top two "lifeless users" are probably govt agency workers paid to review the information daily.

Don't think so. And also don't think it's the top two "lifeless users" real online time. They probably run some forum-bot/script/macro that keeps them online/generate these "total time logged in".

From a few searches I've done it doesn't appear to be the case, but it *is* probably safe to say they are using bots for coin-trading based on BTCtalk sentiment. One of them specifically seems to be an altcoin pumper/dumper. Maybe he was monitoring altcoin thread activity to determine which ones to invest in.

man, i thought i was hardcore.. but i can't possibly keep up with the playas in those graphs. still, 2500 posts since november makes myself quite the whore.

it looks i need a lot of posts to catch up to get to the spots above.

Yup still not on the list.

I'm on the list.  :D

Hopefully I will remain there. We will see.

I wouldn't be too proud. To be on the list you need to have no real life and be willing to troll every thread you click on. By troll I mean answer in some way whether you have something useful to add or not. Not really a great accomplishment unless you are a confessed troll and like it. Never mind - you actually fit because you like trolling, carry on.  ;D

To be fair it is quite saddening that the top 2 boards are indeed Altcoin related. It shows how many shitcoins have come to bitcointalk to clutter the forum with their annoying announcements and IPOs before running off with people's money or pumping and dumping.

True. But there's no really stopping them. Bitcoin is, in most parts, the main focus. It's just because the Altcoin threads themselves derive more attention because of the development (creation of forums/faucets surrounding new alt coin) and "get-rich-quick" chance of them.

At least the increasing rate of posts there is much lower now, with altcoin giveaway banned. :)

But.. is more vaaluable the time spent here than the post i think, maybe one day i will be there

Damn, half the people on that chart have only been here for a few months.

PG was banned for excessive posting (I think) It's kind of hard to understand what motivates guys like him to post that much. He doesn't get paid to post, nor he promotes a cause or a profitable enterprise. It's easier to get why some of those top posters are signature campaign participants. They have a decent earning from that and you could even say that posting is sorta like a part-time job for some.

i think he was banned for excessive use of a racial epithet. he kept saying "not all black people are (you know what), but my neices boyfriend is a (you know what).

people have also accused him of talking down a company, getting paid for his silence, and then going silent.

are these numbers all times or just last month?


anyway, 20k posts by month or by year is really really impressive(not in the good sense)

These are all times numbers, of course.
20K posts in a month would mean a post every 2 minutes for 30 days in a row.

Not even PG could do that. :)

PG promotes bitcoin100 and Sean's Outpost (both are charitable organizations) and puts their links in his sig and a few of his posts, but I don't think that is related to his "excessive posting". :)

i wasn't around when he was banned, so i don't know for sure. 182k posts between 20 different people isn't that incomprehensible.. post inequality is real!

Aw I am not in top post lists :(

No worries, you have a place in the list of worst trust feedback, just after BFL and Inaba.

I've accomplished much more than just laughs on this forum. Although entertainment is fun when it is as the expense of a scammer or troll.

Well having a wife and kids and a home to tend to isn't exactly as you might view of "having a life". lol  :D But your assumptions are amusing me right now. So carry on!

IMO I shouldn't be on the list at all, over half my posts are directs. Forum search seems to be limited so it doesn't show them all, but you can see on the forum stats page (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats) I show up as #1 topic starter with almost 3700 topics. Real topics I've started is probably closer to 20-30.

That's not even counting that I used to delete my redirects regularly, and I only leave redirects less than half the time these days. I wonder how many topics I've moved total.

But you are on the list! Now live with it!

 :-[

Haha. Better get deleting all those redirects then  ;D. Though I imagine that'd be a pretty exhausting / time-consuming task and not really worth the hassle. Depends how much you really don't want to have the title of user with most threads created  :D.

Why so many posts on altcoin announcements?

Top 10 Boards

Announcements (Altcoins)      1109945
Alternate cryptocurrencies      659701
Beginners & Help      465103
Speculation      393292
Bitcoin Discussion      374869
Hardware      277098
Off-topic      199957
Securities      175499
Gambling      129701
Pools      104892

Easy math.

Bitcoin = 1 coin = has 50 subforums
Altcoins = 1000 coins = for only 2 major subforums (and 2 not much used)

-> most posts in the two major altcoin subs

I deleted all old redirection topics. (You've moved 7476 topics in total.)

Is that what caused some of the subforums to dissapear briefly? Bitcoin Discussion went for a while and I noticed Goods also.

Edit: seen your other post.

I've lost some money to inputs.io myself. Didn't bother leaving feedback.
One of these days I'll compile a top-100 list so everyone can get in the picture.

Excellent, thanks. Just didn't sit right with me since it's not really true.

And what is a pi day??

It's on March 14th:

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_Day
http://www.piday.org/ 

How about posting an update?

You want to qualify in? ;D

I'll get on that ;)

Quoted for future reference...

Shouldn't be too hard to update it monthly?  :)

I'll see what I can do! OP updated.

The top posters are going to be very less from signature campaigns in coming months. The reason is Stunna has introduced a post limit on his campaigners too. It seems now all the campaigns have post limit and we can expect more quality posts now.

When Arcas made that comment, the OP contained pie charts.

Doubt it, they'll just use multiple accounts, you can buy a new account and have it paid off in a few days.

Initially I thought it too. But, if u look at the ROI (feeling ashamed to use it for a signature campaign where even I take part !!!), this wont probably happen. Because, with limited post count, people wont be able to recover their investment in account purchase soon. So, they'll refrain from purchasing account and try on building a single good one.

If a senior account costs less than 1 BTC, ROI time is 2 months. With only 400 posts a month so please, you don't know what you're talking about.

Thank you OP for updating.

Are people actually selling senior member accounts? I mean is there evidence of this? I'm asking honestly, I haven't paid much attention lately to the latest forum drama.

I know of a few that were definitely sold. For hero accounts, the price is apparently pretty good.

Do you know if TradeFortress sold his account? :-\

I don't know for sure either way. I suspect that it was not sold, though.

I think they will, particularly botters, people from third world countries where their wages are extremely low, and kids who consider it "free" money. The forum has also been discussed on more than one money making website. Not entirely a bad thing I suppose, it's bringing newcomers to bitcoin. Increased bannings are an unfortunate side effect though.

Well tradefortress was just on just-dice a while ago and yes it was him User 35
If you really want to know could just e-mail him at
ciphertext@cryptolab.net

20:55:04 (35) <TradeFortress> if you want to contact me (don't send requests for coins, I don't have them) feel free to email at ciphertext@cryptolab.net - bye!

Just curious, is that guess / conclusion made after checking the IPs?

Yeah I was there, dooglus let me push a few 1000 BTC transactions :)
