Bitcoin Forum

I'm curious to know how many minutes or hours you spend on the forum.
In my case it is between 1 and 2 hours only in the morning,I have the impression that I am in the lowest part of the average user.
As seen from the answers you can be online in different ways,desktop PC,smartphones,smartwatches,tablets,if we add everything up,I think we are all connected for longer than we imagine

After analyzing some of the interventions we could say that the forum is an excellent escape valve in every way,it always has been,but now in the conditions that we have to live this year 2020 it is more evident
Here the question is how long you are connected and the result is:
The longer you are connected,the longer you will disconnect from real life problems
This is fine

Edit
There are several answers that point directly to the time indicated in each user profile, this data is also important, but what is relevant here is how long you are in the forum daily, whether you are logged in or not, you can be reading and not be connected, but you are in the  forum, there are many answers but few votes, the more votes the more real the result will be, it does not have to be exact, a valid estimate is enough

Thats an interesting question. I also would like to hear the online times of some legendary long-term users of the forum. Is there already someone here who spend more than 1000 days in the forum? My current total online time is about four days and one hour. I registered at the 9th of January this year, which was exactly seven weeks ago. Makes an average online time per day of about two hours. I am not sure if I am super active here, since I also have a regular job, but yea since January I am spending lots of free time here in the forum. I might have gotten a little addicted, but is that really a bad thing  ;)?

I just keep my account logged in on my browser. But Ive just visit forum and check it once in a while, to be honest Im not sure, cause since Ive just reading here then response on some interesting topic. But my estimate is 2-3 hours time utmost and that is broken cause after I posted on soke thread and read some interesting discussion I just minimize and continue with my work.

---

Ive got a feeling that this topic isnt appropirate here btw. But I'm not sure where this belong..

Lately I only manage about 1-1.5 hours a day. Life, obligations, work, and family are taking its toll. But I am still happy that I manage to come by almost every day. I always find that little bit of time for Bitcointalk.

For me, it depends if I have a topic in mind to create, meaning, I will spend time depending on the difficulty of the topic I want. Let say, for a day before when I still have a campaign, I spend roughly 3hrs with my desktop to read, or to gather useful data, including the construction of the topics (5 per day), and reading topics made by other members here.

But most of the time, I'm using my mobile phone to view the forum and to check for updates to keep me on track of it, and to answer inquiries made by other members to the topics I've created.

my whole life, Bro!  8)

EDIT:
since July 18, 2012, 07:54:39 PM

lurker since Spring 2011

If I'm not on the move then I spend much of the day dipping in and out. Maybe only a few minutes at a time but it all adds up. If I'm on the internet at all then I'll drop by here too. I'll guess it adds up to a solid 1-2 hours per day all added up from morning until the early hours.

forum says ~180 days since 2011, whatever that is.

If we get interesting data we can have an average day time. 8)

I asked about that elsewhere. Someone told me that figure is set by how often you refresh and/or change page. After a certain period of inactivity it stops noting and assumes you've gone elsewhere. My figure is, er, rather higher.

I’m probably on here 3-4 hours a day & I’m not joking. That might sound sad but without this place I’d have less knowledge of bitcoin & most likely a lot less bitcoin so I do owe a lot of gratitude to this place.

Considering I usually write long posts, it's probably more than 3 hours a day I am spending looking for good topics and writing my little walls of text. :) Right now I have a total of 17 days and a half, but at least the first half of my posts here are just shitposts. Hence, if I calculate how many minutes I spend on writing a post using the total time I have spent on the forum, it's ~12 minutes/post.

But at the moment it takes me somewhere from 15 to 40 minutes to write an usual reply. I'm still working on writing less words per post because I bet only 5-15% of my posts are actually read :D

1250 but I've cheated - I run a parser with my login, which probably double-counts the "time logged in".

I'm almost all the time online, whether on the phone, PC, laptop. Morning, daytime, evening, all the time except for when I'm sleeping. Maybe I don't post but I'm here doing something, reading reporting,writing preliminary posts.
I thought that I am not susceptible to any bad habits, but the forum is more than addictive...

yeah i read that somewhere too.

my time per day has varied greatly over the years. more when bull, less when prolonged bear. more now that im not working, less when i was. so i really cant give an accurate number anyway.

my official message above currently shows:

and this will be quite true because i rarely have multiple tabs/sessions and no idle time.
when the board is open i am also actively moving. how many hours are there daily? a lot!
but that has also advantages because there is no time left for unnecessary things like facebook, instagram etc.
so even if it is a lot of time it is only useful time spent online :)

A very warm welcome for you to the forum.

It depends upon 2 factors: quantity and quality.

About quantity, 2 users (Newbies, for example) can spend same amount of time per day (in average), for example: 2 hours per day. I don't go to they spend their time at morning, afternoon, or at night. It's their personal spare time.

About quality, how they use their 2-hours each day on the forum? This will make them become different with each other.

• Bob: spend his time to read Forum SMF User Help: Introduction (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=help); to search for answers with Forum Search (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=search), and learn additional things at Beginners & Help board (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0). Maybe more but I stop at it as an example.
• Alice: spend her time to read and find easy (mostly shit) bounties at Bounties (Altcoins) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0) and do nothing more.

After 2 months, Bob and Alice will grow at different levels and they will become very different. Bob will become more knowledgeable whilst Alice won't (stucked at where she begin).
When Bob become more knowledgeable, he will help the others and simultaneously learn more from the others. He will search more when want to help the others so consequently will learn more things.

There are things outside the forum?

Way too much actually... I signed up some on May 10, 2019 and the forum shows a total time logged in: 74 days, 2 hours and 4 minutes...  :o ::)

Some crazy figure, especially considering the fact I have never before been active on any forum. Goes to show how special our forum is. ;)

But don't you think that Alice might have gained some knowledge about the project she's been promoting during bounty campaign, while Bob doesn't know that ?

Plus, this Alice, as being an "Alice" could "ask" Bob for help and doubt that Bob, who has spent 2 months mostly in the Internet, could resist  :D It will end with Alice receiving bounty reward while Bob helping her with knowledge he gained.

P.S. I mostly spent time on forum during morning coffee at the office and during lunch, about same time Bob and Alice spend daily.

I doubt that bounty hunters spend their time to read and learn, even with projects they promote for. They basically want something easy and get easy money back. That's all they care.
Bob will help if he knows but once again I doubt Alice have interests to learn anything. What she cares most is money, easy and free money from bounties.  :D

Total time logged in say~ 213 days, 17 hours since 2016.

Well, I'm always online, tabs are always open even in my laptop, desktop and phones all the time while I'm playing mobile games, if I'm not posting, I just keep reading and browsing, I prefer to stay here for some reason than staying in facebook, twitter or youtube.

If I am not working outside, as a general rule I am on the Internet, I estimate that more or less active in the forum about 2 hours, the weekend if I am at home, more.
Also daily, when I wake up, I drink the first coffee reading Wall Observer.

I have a smartband, connected with the Giammangiato [TelegramBot] Merit watcher and Mention Notification Bot (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5209107.0)
Every time you mention me on a post or you merit me that thing give me an haptic feedback, so I immediately turn on the forum, in case I am away.

https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/16/blob36187c850c640488.jpeg

I always have a tab open, home, work and mobile.
I think this explains a lot.

Lol. You have been already addicted to the forum. Congrats, fillippone. :)

I doing nearly the same when i have the time and not in work !
Total time logged in: 144 days, 9 hours and 44 minutes.
Most times i report and looking for bad guys that try to scam others or post malware shit links.

Spent 1-1.5 hour per day due to some problems with my schedule in work, family, and school. Lately, haven't active for 2 months. Wish I could give more time to learn some.

Probably I spent 3 - 5 hours day here and I need to balance it because I'm just a student and we have a lot of activities in our school. Most of my time spent on reading in the different sections so by just reading I can able to gain new knowledge about cryptocurrency and blockchain.
Maybe I will allot more time here after our 2nd Semester.

My time logged in: 21 days, 13 hours and 36 minutes ;D

I cannot say I spend X or Y time on the forum, I prefer to put it this way: I spend all the free time i have in a day here on most days, so the time I spend here mostly depends on the free time I have a day, if I have a totally free day, then I'll be here 10-15 hours, if I have a very busy schedule, then I might not even be here at all(though those days are rare).

Honestly, for me, it really depends on the week/month.

Sometimes I can dedicate hours per day onto BitcoinTalk, and i enjoy doing so. Other times, when I'm super busy, it's only a couple hours per week.

I've been meaning to put more into BTCTalk though.

On the past two years I spend my whole day on the forum for 16 hrs everyday I had no time for any body else. It's good to be back on the crypto world and I prohibit myself those years from posting I just give my time for reading and thanks to it I learn a lot on how to deal in this community. I wonder if Merit system wasn't invented at all that time.. I think there would be no changes in spamming.

You get notifications even if someone merits you? I can imagine you frantically flipping open any available devices to check when that happens :D

Also, that's some hairy ass arm you got there.

Yes, I get notification for every mention and merit I get.
Già mangiato is working on an improvement of the merit bot better detailing the notification, so to save me some frantic reaching proper browsers.

Regarding the hairy arm, I’m Italian after all:
 

Glad to see so many answers, what @tranthidung comments is interesting, but in this case we talk about the time that is connected every day in the forum, you are right that if you take the time in the technical meetings you will be more prepared to discuss in any section of the forum, but, we talk about connected time.
I put the example of a miner, surely they also spend a lot of time looking for information on GPU or mining software, for this reason I mean the time connected daily in the forum regardless of the section.

It would be great if they exposed in which sections they spend their hours in bitcointalk, of course all users of all sections are welcome to more data more information, interesting for everyone to see the sections that consume more time to users.

@fillippone This is great, but I have a question for you, is there any risk in privacy when using this bot?

@tranthidung @LoyceV @DdmrDdmr If the number of user responses continues to increase, indicating the time spent on the forum, is it possible to prepare some kind of statistics?

As far as I know, the only risk is that the bot knows my telegram handle.
For more specific questions please address to the giammangiato thread, linked above,  Giammangiato [TelegramBot] Merit watcher and Mention Notification Bot (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5209107.0).

If what you mean is specifically about the number of responses on this thread, then really the best thing would have been to create a poll on the matter. It seems that you cannot do it retrospectively in the OP, so it would either need to be another thread, or you would need to semantically interpret each post, and translate that to a number on a homogeneous scale for each reply given on the thread (i.e. between x and y hours per week on average over the last z period of time). The later is going to prove to be a p.i.t.a. if you try, judging by the responses so far.

By the way, @fillippone has a competitor here … :
Both are way hairier than me …

I should try this as well, now I have an email notifications for new threads on different sections, which i get on my phone, but this is even better. You sir are genius.
 

I forgot to apply the poll option when opening the thread :'(

i can tell when anything interesting has happened just by the page count increase the WO thread. 10 pages overnight? somethings probably up.

sometimes that simple per thread metric is even useful just by itself.

I usually spent about 2-3 hours per day 5 days a week in this forum.

I took 2 days off from posting, just surfing around reading some good thread, if I don't feel like posting itself. I usually checked what's going on in the Gambling thread as do sports betting. If there is some good tips to tail specially in the NBA thread then I try to bet some.

From 2 photos, I know both VB1001 and fillippone are men.  :P

Used to spend around 2 to 3 hours a day before, but I'm not that active anymore because of studies. I still try to visit the forum once in a week or so, and I'm trying to be more active again since this forum is the only place where I learnt the most about the cryptoverse.

359 days. since july of 2012

I have a total logged in time of a little above 20 days, and I registered on the forum over a year ago. Considering I also went inactive for a couple of months, I can say I spend a reasonable amount of time online daily.
The time varies depending on my engagements off the forum and (face palm) if I'm engaged on the forum, through signature campaigns or trade with members.
I always try to squeeze out a little time no matter how busy I am to check out the forum.

I'm going to order one, the smart watch comes with the merits included,I need some to keep moving forward :D


I imagine that those who are in a campaing the connected time is much higher than the average user.

On Bitcointalk, we're all men :D

Jokes aside, I'd be damned if a female finds a Bitcoin forum interesting, let alone Bitcointalk.

According to forum statistics:
Male to Female Ratio: 4.6:1
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats)

I will also ask the question for them:
Girls,how much time do you spend in the forum?

I would really like to see the girls answer here.

Interesting, so that's like 5 men to 1 woman.

I'm curious too, let's hope some real ones answer haha.

As this is getting traction on the forum, I am writing a guide on how to properly setup the whole thing.
I will publish this late tomorrow when back in my bunker in Covid-land.

I log in to the forum whenever I have spare time. Commonly, before I go to school to teach and when I come back home. It is quite difficult to state how many hours to spend daily. It can be varied between 3 - 8 hours. I don't always create posts, sometimes I just read what people posted in the forum currently. Or I just spend my time checking what people replied on my posts.

Not only fillippone, me too. I think it is a good addiction. Much better than you are addicted to gambling.  :D

Looks cool!! But I'm afraid that it is a bit expensive.  :D

It looks like a Mi Band 4 (cmiiw). It's not that expensive, around $30 in Indonesia. It's a good smartwatch. I have one btw.

---

Anyway, I can say 2 hours at max is how much I spend my time here. Sometimes more if I need to write very long posts, but most of the time it's under 2 hours. @kawetsriyanto, can't believe you can spend 8 hours a day. That's like your typical office work hours  ;D

Okay. If the price is only about $30, it is cheap enough to buy. I will plan to have one if it is needed then. Thanks bro, for the info.  :)

Yes, it is like an office work hour. But it only happens on the weekend. While on the weekday, I usually spend only 3-4 hours daily.
On the weekend, sometimes I prefer to spend my time on the forum than going outside. I have a baby below 5 months, it is the reason why I prefer at home. However, It is not 8 hours in a row. It is sometimes 1-2 hours in the morning, then 2-3 hours in the afternoon, and 3 hours in the evening.

Exactly. It’s a miband4. Price is around 30 USD. As I said on an earlier post, I am writing a guide on how to properly buy, setup and configure that. Bear with me until tomorrow.

I try to spend about two hours a day on the forum, mostly in the Russian locale and in the English-speaking section. Of course, everything depends more on my free time. The most interesting thing is that my morning starts with the forum. Yesterday (February 28, 2020) was exactly 2 years since my registration on the forum.

It is difficult to determine how much time I spend with certainty in this forum for each day and I hope it will range between 2-3 hours if I collect them all. I think the time interval between one post and another post cant be a benchmark of how much time we are active every day, because it can be that after one post is finished the user goes out and does another activity.

I can stay longer in the forum when there is a lot of free time and when the mood is not good then I just read more than posting something that is not useful.

Oh God, you really need to get enough rest because our eyes can no longer stare at the monitor screen without a break. 3-8 hours without stopping I think it's enough to make eyes red and runny. :D

You need to read again what I wrote above, mate. I said, "It is not 8 hours in a row". And it only happened at the weekend or holiday. It means I have a lot of free time. I never force myself to work, indeed I will take a rest whenever it is needed. Then, it also doesn't always repeat every week. That's why I stated it can be varied for 3 - 8 hours.  ;)

I did a search from previous years male female
source archive org
There are variables that can lead to error in this data suchs as,not include sex in the registry or not tell the truth of the gender.

wait.

so 2018 we were all replaced with pod people?

archive org web yesterday did not show data in 2018,but today if they are active, I have already edited,I wouldn't have checked it again if you hadn't let me know ;)

We still have no girls in the thread ::)

If I were female in here I likely would not mention it. It often provokes some verrry strange reactions.

Similarly the people who do declare themselves female in here are likely to be 11 yr boys trying to sell their grandmother's underpants passed off as some lithe gym bimbette's workout clothes.

May be 10 minutes or so daily, when bounty expires, I might give more time to find new one.

I am dead honest here, please don't mind that I use these forum only for bounties.  ;D

Yes, some have strange behavior, with women in the forums. ::)
Last merit sent, would deserve some answers, but 0 merits now.

curses! the jig is up.

  I   SWIM made out like a bandit on this.

now what do I *cough* SWIM do with all this stock??

-

EDIT out of merits at the moment but will send one to libert19 for his honestly :)

As promised, I wrote a little guide on how to setup a "notification machine" for the forum:
#meritislife: how to be notified on a smartband of merits and mentions  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5229697.msg53945720#msg53945720)

Have a nice read!

In total I have spent 102 days and 15 days of my life here. Usually, I spend 1-2 hours daily here. I visit forum multiple times a day to read what's going on, but I post in evenings/night mainly when I have more free time. Bitcointalk "eat" most of my free time, maybe even too much. But at the same time I would like to be more active here.
Offcourse, there is some busy days when I spend just few minutes here.
This is what I call addiction. I have never thought about such practical use of smartband.
And don't apologize for hairy arm because you haven't saw mine :D.

You do what you say, you are a man of your word, now I don't have sM to give you in your thread but I will send you when I can.

More time here, now I have more free hours ;)

The quarantine period almost over here. :)

But probably I am spending atleast few hours in bitcointalk per day not in a constant way but someone like 2 to 4 hours range.

There has being a surge for my timing as well on the forum due to the lockdown and just being at home. So instead of wasting kept reading the different threads and articles on forum as well and tried to understand new things which is quite useful and relevant as well for future.

Well for me as a Newbie and someone who have the zeal and inquisitive about Cryptocurrency I can’t  estimate the time I spend here ever since i registered here,  as my account is just logged in my device. I’m here to learn more about Cryptocurrency from people who are well exposed and experience about it. So I do more of reading and educating myself about bitcoin and it’s been helpful. Some weeks ago the knowledge I have about bitcoin and the level of knowledge i have about it now is different.

These forum has helped me to discover more a about Cryptocurrency and I’m most grateful to the founders of these forum. To me it’s not just discussing about bitcoin business or transactions but also i find it interesting and fun so the taste for it comes more. I’m mostly occupied with other activities but I still create time for my bitcoin talk as I’m passionate about bitcoin.

After 8 months, has your presence on bitcointalk increased or decreased?
To better see the trend I have updated with a poll

Interesting question. I find it a bit difficult to say how many hour I am active each day on the forum for various reason. I use forum during my spare time and do something (read and post) and it usually take me more than 2 hour. Sometimes I don't post and just read some interesting topic and replies from forum contributor and it take less time than reading and posting. But ever since I wanted to change my posting habit, I spent more time here than ever before.

Definitely decreased since Corona for sure. I find it more difficult to stay online all the time - trying to get out more due to cabin-fever.

Maybe 2 hours or something like that for me. I guess my time online here coincides with bitcoin price action, when we’re in a bull run I’m on more than when the price is dull & moving sideways for long periods.

Quarantine gets us all in our home with less things to do, I noticed that I increased my presence here for the past 8 months, I'm averaging 4-6 hours in a day spending time here in forum reading and posting. Though I take a break weekly, a day or two so I could still go outside and do my stuffs. I usually online very early in the morning around 00:01 to 06:00 Do any Asian peeps can relate with my online time?  ;D

Longer than is probably healthy.  Longer than I'd care to admit.

But it depends, because I do a lot of stuff online throughout the day and I take little "bitcointalk breaks" where I'll look for a thread that catches my eye.  If it's interesting enough, I'll spend time reading it and probably making a post.  Lately there don't seem to be as many threads that hold my attention for long, but I've put that down to an overall decrease in traffic to the forum in the last few months.

Yeah, me too.  I see no point of logging out since I visit the forum so often.  

I actually used to spend much more time on bitcointalk between 2016-2018 when I was actively hunting shitposters and account dealers.  My enthusiasm for both of those endeavors kind of fizzled out in 2019 for various reasons--but even still, it seems like I'm on the forum more than I see the sun.  lol

My presence definitely increased with the lock down.
In the privacy of my laptop in my room, I  can indulge a lot more on my true love, bitcoin, without some other eyes questioning my dirty habits.
So I have a tab always opened on my laptop.
My mobile always on bitcointalk.
Telegram bot.
Merit bracelet.

I would say 8 hours plus of active brwosing.

Yes, I am hooked.

Who on the forum can call your habits as dirty?

You do what bitcoiners would do (dig to find documents, reports and learn from them to increase your knowledge). There are not many knowledgeable members on the forum like you. You are one of greatest knowledgeable members in Economics board. I read your topics a lot but tbh I am not understanding all your wrote. :-\

I registered on the forum about 2 years ago and have a Total time logged in of approximately 54 days, this means on average I spend ~7% of my day here on bitcointalk, a bulk of that number would have come much more recently due to lockdown (limited distractions) and renewed interest in Bitcoin and the forum.
So I probably spend between 5-8 hours on the forum per day now, and times which I am not on my bitcointalk tab, you'll probably find me browsing through related sites to Bitcoin to get information about a subject.

I consider myself lucky to be relatively safe from the negative cause of the lockdown and the virus itself; while some people are finding more spare time to do other things, some others are feeling the effects and can not make enough time or find it difficult to function in unfavorable conditions

Thanks for updating your poll to include my option.  :D

2-3 hours.

It seems crazy to me when I type it out but its pretty much an unavoidable fact. I'd say I spend far more time reading than writing (as should anybody).

My overall time on the forum has almost doubled in the last 2 years or so... I'll be coming up on 200 days after 8 more days of forum time!

50 days a year = 1,200 hours

1,200 hours / 365 days 3.28 hours per day, sheesh. Guess I voted wrong.

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/df/0d/3c/df0d3c46c064a56f0c13debbcd67b94d.gif

If I average since the beginning of my account, that's 192 of 2,380 days, or 1.93 hours a day. That sounds more sane.


K, just saw Filippone's post and now I feel better about myself. Sorry Filippone but its for a good cause.

If your, have free time for the Forum 1-2 hours, it's a different story with me.

I don't have the exact time in this forum with the set hours, day and night, maybe, I see a particular board or topic 10-15 minutes, if I want to reply plus 15 more minutes to research and answer.

Sometimes I visit the forum 15-20 times Open it in a day & night, so in conclusion I visit the forum does not specify a time, depending on my situation and circumstances, if I'm a little busy, sometimes I don't visit at all that day.
And if I have a lot of time / time off, as I said above.

OP, add one more option: no certainty.

I’m just going to base my answer on the total time logged in (without entering the discussion of how that time is actually calculated): 157 days, 4 hours and 2 minutes. That equates 226.322 minutes. Account age is currently 1.028 days old, so the average per day is of 220 minutes, which is 3h and 40 minutes.

There’s the additional browsing from non-logged-in devices, which will have to go unaccounted for ...

Added option: no certainty

This is going to be really difficult to be certain as to how much time one spends. All our answers are going to be speculations which would be far from the truth, considering the fact that we just breeze in and breeze out quite often. It's of note that, you can't stay online permanently for as long as you wish or want to untill you devote yourself entirely to your screen and keypad which is very unlikely to happen.

There is this feature at play and most at times, we fail to notice but it does work in kicking you out once/offline once you've been active for an hour then, your required to login again once you do a refresh. That is, the "the minutes to stay logged in and always stay logged in feature" on the login portal. Minutes to stay logged in is 60 minutes by default while the stay logged in requires you to think and it virtually keeps you on so long as your connected to the internet.
If I'm to guess how long I do spend on forum, I'll say it ranges from 1-3 hours. Of course you know it's just a guess.

I logged in in this forum most of the time, I think it is everyday but I don't spend all of my time here because I do have some errands to do. In our country, forum time is different from our time, so, I usually open my account every night to check for updates and to visit some sections here in bitcontalk. Maybe if I don't have any activities to deal with, I am sure that I will spend half of my day here just to learn and interact with other members of the forum.

Very nice criteria.
Total time logged in: 114 days, 5 hours and 45 minutes.
Total profile age: 982 days, 1 hours and 48 minutes.

Average logged in time is hence 3:32:58 seconds.

As I look at my merit distribution as a proxy on how active I have been on the forum I strongly believe I have been greatly surpassing this average value during the last year.

Ps. Sorry @ddmrddmr, I am dry on merits!

Very educational responses are being posted in my opinion,a lot can be learned from the responses of the most active posters on the forum
Come on guys,vote and post what your time is and how you distribute it,is there any order or preference when entering the forum?
In my case,yes,firts I visit my profile (although I don't have many changes there) then my local board,the wall observer,meta and I like to read on the bitcoin technical support

We have 2 votes in Do you live here,one of them is surely theymos and the other?
 ;)

This is a rare question that happens in our forum also I want to share my hours connected. Base on the forum I already got 16 days, 8 hours, and 29 minutes. But mostly sometimes I didn't post anything instead of visiting some board like the meta - to keep updated on what is happening on the forum, beginners, and help - to see if there is some member seeking help, and also to my local (Pilipinas). I think it looks mostly
1-2 hours is the longest time I visit right here on the forum just to lurking around without doing anything and getting active on the forum I think 2-3 hours sometimes I seek some knowledge on the forum too so that's it.

At the end of this forum is OP wants to up who is the longest time here on the forum?. Like they are living right here lol.

I have already 23 days, 8 hours and 21 minutes. But I am always spend 2-3 hours per day because I have many things to do in my house as well as I have other works. However, whenever I have freetime I consume it in reading some comments and quality post. I am intrigue also in the event and issues in forum. In fact, I treat this site as my secondary home when it comes to spending my leisure time.

Bloody hell! (pardon my French). Is that for real?

Although the logged-in time has it’s uncertainties as to the details of how it is calculated exactly (discussed some time ago on Meta), your data is certainly amongst the top owls of the forum (bot type accounts aside). There must be a relationship between being an owl and being a Speedy Gonzales (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5281030.msg55345725#msg55345725)…

:o
I owe you 1sM
I have just launched my last merit

edit:Done

I on average spend 7-9 hours on forums...
I didn't do it for 7 hours straight, I did multi-tasking that is online on this forum, taking care of children and doing household chores. getting to know this forum makes me unnecessary to work outside to make money.

I spend 1-2 hours in the forum every day. Some days I spend more time and some days less. It depends on my work. But the average will be 1-2 hours. I like spending time in forums. Thanks for such an interesting question :D

I think it was a lot less if we compare it to mine to be at least. My total time logged in so far is 42 days, 22 hours, 3 minutes and still counting which is almost twice of what you had. I'm not saying that my record is the accepted basis to be considered as active but yeah you are way farther from it. Anyway, it was understandable since you mentioned that you are having a depression that time. I'm wishing all the best for you dude, you can make it! Just don't forget to seek His guidance :).

The time you stay here is not very important because what matter the most is the knowledge you gained and fun you had here.

I joined this forum on March 05, 2018, 05:04:17 PM, it shows that I have been logged in total time logged in: 32 days, 15 hours, and 55 minutes.

I did logout many times from the day I joined this forum that might be the reason it is showing much less logged in time. Other than that I have check this forum regularly.

Yes @NavI_027, login time does not matter, what matter is how much knowledge you have gained from the forum and how much you have contributed here.

There are posts from newer users and there are posts from very old users. I think the value of the thread is in noting how the older users distribute their time. It is about learning from them, they are highly recognized in the forum, they receive many merits and contribute by publishing.quality content
I'm not interested in who lives in the forum, we could say that the option of whether "you live in the forum" has its funny point,just that 8)

As I visit your profie, I've seen that you already posted 3000+ posts and having an activity of 1000+, seems like you are actively posting here.
I'm active too ofcourse, but mostly, everyday, I spend most of my time on this forum reading than posting.
Also waiting for some games to join in recently.

Approximately, I think I'm spending about 2 to 4 hours in total here on bitcointalk everyday.

-1 hour; sometimes it only takes me to be in a certain section of the forum, although sometimes I spend reading Between 1 and 2 h Or maybe not, it can be much more, 2 or 3 h, actually  More than 3 h.
 
If I'm honest with you, sometimes it feels like Always online. And strange things happen with so many hours in the forum, because someone asked me Do you live here, I told him of course it's my house and he answered No certainty you are in the house, you are dreaming.

G.B./Full+

it really depends on the day, some days i think that i can read forum for several hours, but on other days, there is a lot of different "real life" activities, and it is hard to get half-hour on the forum, but i can say that i visit forum daily and post daily

this is the best place to be informed about cryptocurrencies and learn about them, with a lot of information regarding scams, that are everywhere in the industry

I prefer to spend time in this forum, mainly to gain more knowledge about cryptocurrency. However, due to my busy schedule, I have not been able to spend much time on this forum, so I can spend about 3+ hours here every day.

However, my profile shows that Total time logged in: 59 days, 1 hour and 39 minutes. I was not very active for many days when I registered in this forum.

In the end probably too much if you are honest with yourself!
I'm in the game since 2017 and the official time above says over 65 days. I'm only active online and never have my browser open when I'm not active. It's also always scary when the cell phone shows the daily and weekly report of the screen time. You should all activate this and take some offline time. There is another life as well... hard to imagine but it is like that.
The thread would actually fit better in other areas. You can do this yourself by "move" in the lower left corner if you want to :)

You have logged in for 59 days which is really nice. When i checked mine stats, i only logged in for 18 days. Actually i never calculate my login time daily or weekly. Whenever i am free and/or what to get some information, i logged in and stay active on the forum.

My Stats:- Total time logged in: 18 days, 11 hours and 11 minutes.

https://talkimg.com/images/2023/09/02/mdgCW.png

This is what forum says about my stats. :D But I am not really that much active as it shows.I spend lot of time from my mobile to read forum and use notebook to posts things.

I currently have 66 days, 15 hours, 33 minutes total time logged in. I spend a lot of time leaving my account logged in the forum while doing something else in front of the computer.
I would say I spend around 3-4 around the forum being active(reading or posting) and sometimes more. me being registered since 2015 some people might assume that I should have more than a
hundred days logged-in time but just like what mole0815 said on his post above "there is another life as well".

I voted for always online.

Well considering I have logged in from multiple devices such as phone, laptop and tablet it makes it easier to access the forum on the go. Many times just to check out interesting threads, to pass the time with what miners, and project development has to say about something new.

If calculated at actual then may be more than 5 hours in complete day and night cycle!

Sometimes there could be big topic by someone and to read and understand the op itself takes more than 15-20 minutes and to extrapolate the thoughts on same needs additional half hour.

---

More onto this, if I am creating a help topic for beginners then I always keep that tab open in another window to work on it slowly. Sometimes couple of days at actual hours.  :)

Less than an hour but will visit the forum time to time. Actually average user can onl focus on reading for about an hour or could be more than an hour but less thab 2 hours. Eyes should rest not get too focused especially in PC because it can degrade one's health like in the eyes. Other than the usual or the common type of person I know are visual and they tend to learn more in what they see rather than what they read. However, reading is fun and could be motivational if it in line with our interest like cryptocurrency.

I have been online almost all the time since I joined this forum in January, and I try to educate myself and read the replies of every post. And I share the knowledge I have gained with newcomers to my local board so that they have all kinds of knowledge.
This forum is a book in which you get to learn something new every day. So whenever I have free time, I keep reading on different boards.

It might be your mobile is sending out page request even when you are not using it, hope it is not draining your battery  :D.

It depends upon my mood as to how much time i spend here on a daily basis, as per the total logged in time shown is around 100 days.

Maybe you are right,in the thread there are many answers but there are several regular and recognized members in Meta who have not yet published,it may be because they are not interested or because they really,as you indicate,believe that this thread should be in another board.
Regardless,the number of responses continues to increase,indicating that the thread is still alive and of interest to users
But there is no problem in making a change if a moderator deems it necessary

I don't have limited time or measurable time for the forum because bitcointalk community is only platform I have seen that inspired people, myself is a Case study because whenever I logins to forum I always go out with unforgettable and no regrettable knowledge which I acquired from the community, so the hours I spent in forum is not countable personally because i always there because of  private objective that will enable me to comprehend better passages of cryptocurrencies better,  like wise others who devote their time for the community.

When i open my computer i was must visit on forum. Recently i am very active on forum. I visit 5-6 time per days. And maybe average 3 hours per day.

Often I visit bitcointalk at work, so not no miss anything that I wish to read, I open lots of browser tabs with topics and visit them from time to time. For total time logged I'm online from 9 to 18, but actual time spend it maybe few hours per day.

Also a lot depends on my mood. I can read a lot and make 5-10 posts per day. Other day I can just read gambling section and take a look what is new on meta , but still be from 9 to 18 online.

I wake up in the morning open the Bitcointalk forum for half an hour to an hour and at work if I have free time I open the Bitcointalk forum, I am online in mid-day off and only visit the Bitcointalk forum.

I am also online for almost all of the time when i am on my computer. I do not logoff but it is only showing me online for 34 days.

How does it calculate the time ? Will it still count 1 day if my account is logged in for 24 hrs and i dont do any activity on my account (like surfing / posting ) ?

No, you won't be considered as online if you are not making any request to the site, if I remember it correctly you need to do some kind of activity for every 60 second to add one minute of activity to your account so simply logged in for one day won't be having any changes.

I am not connected so many hours as most people who have commented because I have a fairly busy life. I'd say at least 20 minutes a day. Less during the week, because I don't have that much time. But I guess as time goes by and gain more knowledge I will spend more hours.

I didn't use to spend much time here initially. Maybe at most I would like 1-2 hours a day. But quite recently I have started to spend more time here as I recently am learning more about Bitcoin and getting matured on this subject more. I don't know but maybe, I had an account from 2014 or so, when I first discovered this forum just stumbling upon it while reading something bitcoin related article. At that time I used to spend hell lots of time lurking and reading on the forum!

Oh that's why, mine's total time logged in was just 16 days, I've been here since 2017 but I stop for almost a year and a half to focus on my studies and career. I always check in here for 3-4 days per week cause I do so much work that I can't even focus reading because I'm too tired. Specially when I'm reading technical. I can't check in everyday just like some. I just allot days where I can browse threads here.  Per day I always spent around 1-2 hours only, and with a lot of alt-tabs.

Even few minutes is enough for someone to get updated themselves with crypto related news all around the world and also trends which got hyped and dumped.Longer time is needed only for someone who wants to get technical knowledge about cryptos and wants to establish themselves into a renowned member of bitcointalk.

I'm always online because I love reading newly created topics especially those in the Beginner Section that will warn us about the new tactic of scammers. Also to answer some questions related to security and BTC. I think I spend most of my time here than on my social media because I find that most topics that I read here are helpful and more productive than those endless memes that will only make you laugh for a while.

After log in account, the forum has a metric that is shown at the top.

Total time logged in: 5 days, 13 hours and 24 minutes. (my time).
Divide it by your account lifetime: 162 days (my lifetime). I participated on May 23, 2020
I posted 245 posts in 162 days.

I connected on the forum not enough 1 hour every day.

There are several answers that point directly to the time indicated in each user profile, this data is also important, but what is relevant here is how long you are in the forum daily, whether you are logged in or not, you can be reading and not be connected, but you are in the  forum, there are many answers but few votes, the more votes the more real the result will be, it does not have to be exact, a valid estimate is enough ;)

Total time logged in: 64 days, 5 hours and 42 minutes.

Ok, but you will have to play me heads-up in https://blockchain.poker/#/?affiliate=3bee21776cc456a6541d80e3a46cc04a#bitcoin (https://blockchain.poker/#/?affiliate=3bee21776cc456a6541d80e3a46cc04a#bitcoin)  For 1 million satoshis

Thank you for showing concern. Am better now and I will be spending more time here henceforth.



That is a lot of time you have spent here from that screenshot when compared to the number of posts you have made. But I like to ask if there is any reason why you do not post from your mobile and choose your notebook instead?

Fat fingers. :D

Bigger screen so it will be easier to read and also won't hurt my eyes in longer usage. I don't really like to post from mobile keypad which I rarely do and most of the time I mess up the posts while quoting and replying to someone.

Can this really be quantified? Because I seriously doubt but then, it would have been really good to know as, it would go to a far extent to detect those of us, yes us ;D! That are regular or have made this forum a part of our lifestyle.
Well, I really hope there is a formula to calculate this and since their is non, I'll eastimate my stay to spend at least 1-2 hours daily on the forum for the last 3 months that I became actively involved in forum activities and its has brought remarkable improvements in my life since then Those that have not been active should try it.

Before the implementation of the merit system, I was not that active on the forum and I rarely scroll thru posts. After the implementation of the merit system, it gave me the opportunity to learn more and to pursue my passion of scam-busting on the ANN section especially when I myself got scammed by a ponzi-scheme.

Currently, I am active most of the time on the forum scrolling thru the ANN thread checking every project for plagiarized WPs, fake team members, and malware download links so I could at least prevent people or investors from falling on the same trap as what happened to me 2 years ago.

I can't even imagine reading here using my phone actually, now that I've read it from you, I wanted to try it cause you know, sometimes I wanted to just lie down on my bed. I tried once before but it makes me feel dizzy when I'm using my phone. Is it better to use desktop mode or nah?

I think when I got used to in using my phone, I can spend a lot more time here in the forum, cause sometimes after work, it's easier to read lying down. I guess everyone already knows that.

You are doing a good job

Because I have a day job which at most, leaves me with no spare time, I spend like an hour or two here everyday and it's mostly in the midnight or very early in the morning before I get up to prepare for work.
When I wasn't working, I spend almost my whole day and part night here cus for me, it's the best place to hang out, Facebook and other social networks don't interest me like this forum does, BTT is simply just the best.

I stay on this forum 2 - 3 hours a day, I'm the morning before going to work, I spend like an hour and thirty minutes to check my updates and make posts,in the evening too. Although I enjoy the morning sessions than the evening because I usually get home tired and exhausted, making quality post by that time becomes somehow difficult, most times I sleep off in on my device in the evening.

I spent more than 3 hours daily. Because of a student and Corona Pandemic i have no work and no class. For this reason I'm staying most of the time in the forum. You guys can tell that this forum is also a part of my enjoyment. I'm enjoying doing bounty and other campaign. Also talking with others with so many topic. I can know a lot about crypto world from this forum. When i don't have anything to do then i come in the forum. For this reason i tell you that most of the time I'm active in this forum.
