Title: #meritislife: how to be notified on a smartband of merits and mentions Post by: fillippone on March 02, 2020, 12:06:57 AM #meritislife
You weren't reading this if you weren't basically agreeing on this. So why frantically refresh your merit page and hit the "Show new replies to your post" link when you can be notified via haptic feedback and immediately revert to the forum in the rare occurrence of real life interfering with logged in time? In this guide i will show you how I setup a very quick, easy and cheap notification machine. This is the plan:
Let's go! 1. Buy a simple and reliable smartband. What we need is a smartband to show incoming notification. We are focused on the forum, so we want it to be reliable,with a long battery life (we don't want to lose notifications because we are charging it). Added features are a bonus. My choice was on the Xiaomi MI band 4 (https://www.mi.com/global/mi-smart-band-4) Here the specs: https://www.mi.com/global/mi-smart-band-4/specs Quote
I think it is a quite cheap piece of hardware at roughly 30 USD. You can find it easily on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T4ZH692/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_51cxEbBZG5XR2). Once we have it on our hand we have to install the companion app, pair with our phone and activate app alerts. The companion App requires a link to a social profile (Facebook or Google) or an email activation. If you are concerned about your privacy I suggest you to create a throwaway mail at @protonmail using it only for this specific task. To activate App notification proceed as indicated below:
As you can see from the above image, I am at 18% of battery having charged it last time 20 days ago. Pretty good considerting I have hearth monitor and sleep tracking activated and other few notification added. This will allow the smartband to show notification from phones. We can now subscribe to Notification Bot 2. Subscribe to a notification Bot. I was so used to @Piggy Bot, that when it suddenly failed, I realised how much eased using the forum. A good notification Bot is like freedom or good health: one of those underappreciated asset you don't care about until you suddenly lose them. Regarding the Bot to use, there are at least two main options to choose from:
3. Configure the smartband to receive the right notifications from the phone I don't know anything about you, but I am in several Telegram channels with thousands of members. Hence receiving a notification from every channel would be a mess, with constant notification nightmare and a really fast depleting of the battery. So I decided to setup Telegram to cast notifications for this particular channel only. Go to Settings=>Notifications =>Telegram Toggle Allow Notifications: ON Those following customisation are optional and deemed viable only for your Mobile UI Choose your Notification Style for The main device https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/16/blob731c1c5e34c5fc3e.jpeg Then Click to the last row Code: Telegram Notification Settings to be taken to the Telegram Notification Menu. Here, the relevant section is the first one, as the Bot is classified as a chat. You have to disable all the notification except for the Bot's one. Here all
All the other sections (Group/Channel) must be disabled:
In case you want to prevent being notified during sleep hours you can activate a Do Not Disturb function in iOS. https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/16/blobcc45ce68d9f7e767.jpeg You can read more about this function here (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204321). With these setting notifications are disabled between 23:00- 7.00 when you can The result is the following: Hairy Wrist Gallery
Bot specific instructions for the main Bots: 1. https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/16/blob79735330de04e360.jpeg?1 Giammangiato Bot Specific Instructions Main Bot thread: [TelegramBot] Merit watcher and Mention Notification Bot (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5209107.msg53330085#msg53330085) How to join the Bot:
Code: /start https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/16/blobf14dd0cdbb043513.png
Code: /uid $$yourBitcoinTalkID$$ https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/16/blob4c0be4b1e68923db.jpeg
Code: /nick $$yourBitcoinTalkNICKNAME The Bot runs every minute. Every time you are mentioned in a post, a post of yours is quoted, or you receive a merit, a Telegram notification will appear on the Telegram chat with the Bot. Now the last task is to setup Telegram to properly show only the relevant notifications (only the ones coming from the forum bot, of course). 2. https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/16/blobb050f9dcee14d134.png?1 TryNinja Bot Specific Instructions Main Bot thread: [TELEGRAM] Yet Another BitcoinTalk Notification BOT (merits, mentions, topics,+) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5248878.0) Joining the Bot is very easy, as there is a very convenient setup process guiding you trough the whole process. https://i.postimg.cc/QM0RnZ3C/RSb4YlK.gif I will guide you step by step.

This post is eligible for my project: Help me translate my best posts in your Local Board (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5230761.msg53972826#msg53972826) Quote I am a strong believer in the utility of local boards. I am lucky enough to be able to express myself in at least a couple of languages, but I know this is not the case for everyone. A lot of users post only in the local boards because of a variety of reasons either language or cultural barriers, lack of interest or whatever other reason. I personally know a lot of very good users (from the italian sections mainly, for obvious reason) who doesn't post in the international sections. I think all those users they are missing a lot of good contents posted on the international (english) section or on other boards. If you think you can help here, just visit the thread!

I can agree that it's a good smartwatch. The health feature is more of a gimmick obviously but the rest is good. The battery can last for 20 days or so which is definitely a plus. But keep in mind that you need to have a Mi account to log in to the app before you can use it.

Title: Re: #meritislife: how to be notified on a smartband of merits and mentions Post by: crwth on March 02, 2020, 01:53:58 AM I currently use an Apple Watch to watch notifications, daily activities, reminders, etc. All I need to do is subscribe to that bot. Thanks.
You could add as well like the app Done to see your progress in tracking your habits (like posting, forming a habit, etc) https://apps.apple.com/us/app/done-a-simple-habit-tracker/id1103961876 P.S. Battery life on an Apple Watch depends on the usage and if you have the latest one, Series 5, you could turn on or off the always-on display and save more battery.

I might tend to agree to "meritislife" but this is more like "merit-obsession" ;D Nice topic but No! thanks, I wouldn't be buying and wearing a smartband just to know when somebody sends me merit, it's a bit too much IMO.

Title: Re: #meritislife: how to be notified on a smartband of merits and mentions Post by: cryptoaddictchie on March 02, 2020, 02:52:47 AM Wow this is great actually. In my country, robbing and snatching during late at night is common especially if your riding public transport and that's how dangerous it is. Some users might be checking their phone to see what's new or pop up on forum but with this, maybe it would be avoided such using phones in dangerous places.
Nice topic but No! thanks, I wouldn't be buying and wearing a smartband just to know when somebody sends me merit, it's a bit too much IMO. But this is right. For such option would be expensive and impractical but the feature of notification is really helpful for those users who always received merits. Title: Re: #meritislife: how to be notified on a smartband of merits and mentions Post by: taufik123 on March 02, 2020, 03:10:04 AM Nice topic but No! thanks, I wouldn't be buying and wearing a smartband just to know when somebody sends me merit, it's a bit too much IMO. This is only an option to be able to see merit from various devices. Want to buy a smartband or not it's everyone's choice.Currently, there are also many who use smartband for daily activities because of its many features and are very helpful for daily activities rather than ordinary watches. how to see merit on a smartband can also be applied to other devices such as on-screen dashboards in cars and other devices that support Bluetooth connections and have the option to display notifications for telegram applications and other apps.

Same here, it's enough for me to request free Merit graphs from LoyceV (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5099167.0). ;)But +2 Merit for the guide :) The result is the following: And for an improved formatting style, the problem why the size of the first picture in a table is too little, is a known issue.
You can avoid that by adding an empty table row. 8)

Some users might be checking their phone to see what's new or pop up on the forum but with this, maybe it would be avoided such using phones in dangerous places. You should absolutely not be checking your phone in a dangerous place simply to see who merited you on the forum or who mentioned you in a reply. That's a little too much. Also wearing a smart band might give an indication of wealth which would also attract hoodlums.It can also give your involvement in bitcointalk away and someone could trace your identity to the forum. I'd rather wait until I have enough free time to check up the forum and catch up with whatever I had missed.

Aha! Yes, I am slightly obsessed with merits. Please note that I did this first of all because I like to tinker with all the possible gadgets and idea who come to my mind. I deliberately overstated a few statements and sentences throughout the post to make my merit obsession bigger than it is ("sleep deprivation because of merits? are you sure?"), but It is an half-jokingly attitude. Used Mi Band 4 for a few months now. I can agree that it's a good smartwatch. The health feature is more of a gimmick obviously but the rest is good. The battery can last for 20 days or so which is definitely a plus. But keep in mind that you need to have a Mi account to log in to the app before you can use it. Correct, battery life is quite good. This was one of the main reason because I chose it against an Apple watch (price being the first, by a good distance): I want to focus on forum and merits, not charging the damn thing. Only advice is that you can use a trow-away mail for this app. I currently use an Apple Watch to watch notifications, daily activities, reminders, etc. All I need to do is subscribe to that bot. Thanks. You could add as well like the app Done to see your progress in tracking your habits (like posting, forming a habit, etc) https://apps.apple.com/us/app/done-a-simple-habit-tracker/id1103961876 P.S. Battery life on an Apple Watch depends on the usage and if you have the latest one, Series 5, you could turn on or off the always-on display and save more battery. As I said, the price point was a barrier for me. This costs less than 10% of an Apple watch, with inferior performances, of course, bar battery time, where Apple Watch is beaten big time, and the related function of sleep tracking. (even if you don't sleep very much if you are really focused on the forum. <...> And for an improved formatting style, the problem why the size of the first picture in a table is too little, is a known issue. You can avoid that by adding an empty table row. 8) It might be a known issue, but not by me! thanks for the head up! EDIT: Looks like an empty cell, rather than an empty row, but whatever, it worked! Edit: I've also changed width to height to have the pictures in the same position. Nah, I noticed that before, but I don't like this as it distorts the images. I am going to crop all the images to fit the perfect aspect ratio of my original image! Merit addicted confirmed ;D. It'd be amazing if there's a bot which can show received merit amount and it's sender. <...> I think Giammangiato is working to improve the bot in this way, as per my suggestion. But it requires an external scaper (Like Maggiordomo did) and apparently he was stuck on this. This is quite cool despite being creepy AF. Makes it kinda tempting to send you merits at 3 AM, one at a time 5 minutes apart. There's a feature in iOS to disable notifications at set times. I use it, so you can send merits whenever you want. Thank you all for the comments. I am going to implement in the guide asap (Damn RL!) Title: Re: #meritislife: how to be notified on a smartband of merits and mentions Post by: TheBeardedBaby on March 02, 2020, 07:44:12 AM That's a cool guide. I still have may Xiaomi MI band 2 and I'm so satisfied with it. I'm playing with it right now to test the notifications. If everything is correctly set up this should trigger a notification now, if you have Band 2 you won't be able to read the content, you just get a buzz :)

LOL, seriously. And I bet if merits were just a little bit easier to earn for lower-ranked members, they probably would go all-in for a thing like this. As it stands, however, most of them would just be wasting their time and money waiting for notifications. But on a serious note, merits are extremely important to any member who's here for bounties, sig campaigns, or who just wants to be a big swinging D on the forum--and I bet a lot of them do constantly check to see if they've earned any new merits.I don't need merits to rank up anymore, but I still like earning them since it provides validation that I'm still making useful posts that others either like or agree with--but I don't want or need a smart watch to update me. That would be going laughably overboard, but OP's scheme is amusing to say the least.

There are 3rd party applications for sleep tracking, so it's okay. Do you have bitcointalk addiction?

Want to buy a smartband or not it's everyone's choice. how to see merit on a smartband can also be applied to other devices such as on-screen dashboards in cars and other devices that support Bluetooth connections and have the option to display notifications for telegram applications and other apps.

I am so in love with the forum, but I also have a real-life to live, when I turn off my PC/Phone I wouldn't want to be notified about anything related to the internet, the idea of having these notifications 24/7 for every single merit I receive on my wrist and car dashboard is annoying, but that is just me:).

Title: Re: #meritislife: how to be notified on a smartband of merits and mentions Post by: fillippone on April 15, 2020, 09:07:06 PM #meritislife You weren't reading this if you weren't basically agreeing on this. So why frantically refresh your merit page and hit the "Show new replies to your post" link when you can be notified via haptic feedback and immediately revert to the forum in the rare occurrence of real life interfering with logged in time? In this guide i will show you how I setup a very quick, easy and cheap notification machine. This is the plan:
Let's go! 1. Buy a simple and reliable smartband. What we need is a smartband to show incoming notification. We are focused on the forum, so we want it to be reliable,with a long battery life (we don't want to lose notifications because we are charging it). Added features are a bonus. My choice was on the Xiaomi MI band 4 (https://www.mi.com/global/mi-smart-band-4) Here the specs: https://www.mi.com/global/mi-smart-band-4/specs Quote
I think it is a quite cheap piece of hardware at roughly 30 USD. You can find it easily on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T4ZH692/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_51cxEbBZG5XR2). Once we have it on our hand we have to install the companion app, pair with our phone and activate app alerts. The companion App requires a link to a social profile (Facebook or Google) or an email activation. If you are concerned about your privacy I suggest you to create a throwaway mail at @protonmail using it only for this specific task. To activate App notification proceed as indicated below:
As you can see from the above image, I am at 18% of battery having charged it last time 20 days ago. Pretty good considerting I have hearth monitor and sleep tracking activated and other few notification added. This will allow the smartband to show notification from phones. We can now subscribe to Notification Bot 2. Subscribe to a notification Bot. I was so used to @Piggy Bot, that when it suddenly failed, I realised how much eased using the forum. A good notification bot is like freedom or good health: one of those underappreciated asset you don't care about until you suddenly lose them. A nice candidate is from another italian guy: [TelegramBot] Merit watcher and Mention Notification Bot (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5209107.msg53330085#msg53330085) How to join the Bot:
Code: /start [/list]
Code: /uid $$yourBitcointalkID$$ https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/16/blobd2e98dbf11f4f85f.jpeg
Code: /nick $$yourBitcointalkNICKNAME The bot runs every minute. Every time you are mentioned in a post, a post of yours is quoted, or you receive a merit, a telegram notification will appear on the Telegram chat with the Bot. Now the last task is to setup telegram to properly show only the relevant notifications (only the ones coming from the forum bot, of course). 3. Configure the smartband to receive the right notifications from the phone I don't know nothing about you, but I am in several Telegram channels with thousands of members. Hence receiving a notification from every channel would be a mess, with constant notification nightmare and a really fast depleting of the battery. So I decided to setup Telegram to cast notifications for this particular channel only. Go to Settings=>Notifications =>Telegram Toggle Allow Notifications: ON Those following customisation are optional and deemed viable only for your Mobile UI Choose your Notification Style for The main device https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/16/blobc8c26c43a6d8d10e.jpeg Then Click to the last row Code: Telegram Notification Settings to be taken to the Telegram Notification Menu. Here, the relevant section is the first one, as the BOT is classified as a chat. You have to disable all the notification except for the Bot's one. Here all
All the other sections (Group/Channel) must be disabled:
In case you want to prevent being notified during sleep hours you can activate a Do Not Disturb function in iOS. https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/16/blobbf6efe0eb1083fae.jpeg You can read more about this function here (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204321). With these setting notifications are disabled between 23:00- 7.00 when you can The result is the following:

I dont know where you live, but where I live Amazon delivers it on Monday. Might be a stupid thing to check there?

I am pretty new but this feature sounds awesome and the DIY Directions are spot on. The MI Watches are pretty awesome (I had one at the time they didnt have the screen). I was looking for a way to see replies to my posts since I didnt want them to go unanswered and well I was looking for a smartwatch along the way. Perfect for me to read this!

I hope my friends won't call me nerdy whenever I will be keeping an eye on my wrist band just to check if Im having any merits thrown my way or not. May be this is good one for those who are all into this stuff 24x7 of their lives! :D Anyways, I am in my pharma gown for the 6-7 hectic hours everyday, cant even get my phone inside so its not for me. Rather I would just come to my lappy and check them out. But for others its useful. May be you can also add a code which will notify about the last reply on your thread too. Lets say that can get your attention to an interesting comment and get engaged with it sooner. No significance of this addition as such I believe but if you are anyway having it for merits then why not for comments as well.

Nice, don't worry, you are a legit contender in the hairest wrist on BitcoinTalk! Anyway, news is MI Band 5 is coming. Time for an upgrade! https://www.androidauthority.com/xiaomi-mi-band-5-1109250/ Quote Update: May 15, 2020 (10:30 AM ET): The Xiaomi Mi Band 5 could be about to launch soon. As spotted by Indiashopps, the Taiwan National Communication Commission (NCC) just certified a Xiaomi device with model number XMSH10HM. The model number of the newly certified device is similar to that of the Mi Band 4 which comes bearing model number XMSH07HM. This indicates that XMSH10HM could indeed be the Mi Band 5. Given that the Mi Band 4 was released in June last year, the Mi Band 5 could also drop around the same time. In that case, its certification right now makes all the sense in the world. Besides the possible Mi Band 5 listing, Indiashopp also reports that it spotted a wearable called Mi Smart Band 4C on the website of Indonesias telecom authority. This product has the same model number as the Redmi Band which was recently launched in China. Therefore, its possible that Xiaomi is prepping to launch the Redmi Band as the Mi Band 4C globally. Could both the Mi Band and Mi Band 4C launch simultaneously? Were not sure yet, but well keep you posted as and when we know more.

Of course I couldn't resist and I immediately upgraded to the new model.

Supported systems Android 5.0 or iOS 10.0 and above I have been using since a few days, look and feel is almost the same as the old model, screen is bigger, but it really it is a best fit of the previous form factor (lesser bezels). It has almost hte same feature, plus a few nice attition, but not a revolution, only a step evolution. I can summarise a few finding for the moment: PRO
CONS
For our purpouse the two versions work absolutely at the same manner: I cannot recommend upgrading only for this and the preference is due only to the extra cost for the few feature it offers. I think it is fair to let the choice to individual preferences.

Regarding the Mi-Band 6, I am tempted for the bigger screen. Sometimes I struggle with the mention notification on such a small screen as I can't see the whole message.

Merit announcements have always kept me excited. My friends also told me that they wanted their Mi 5 to have a bigger screen when compared to me. Don't know if Xiaomi plan to fix it?

This is actually from my dad's unused Amazfit Pace smartband that I used to set-up in order to get that notification from TryNinja's bot. Fortunately, though, now is the only time I got the snapshot for the merit/mentioned notification. The only downside of using this amazfit pace is that it is not supported by an AMOLED screen which makes it looks dim especially during daylight.

Notifications: * The duplicate notifications for Bitcointalk/Telegram no longer happen that often, especially after the last update of Xiaomi Wear app * More annoying "duplication" of notifications happen with the e-mails (they keep coming until I remove the notification from the phone) * All in all, it looks to be a bunch of bugs in Xiaomi Wear app, not with the bot or the other apps Overall use: * I like its faces and colors, you can play with them, but still the default few ones are easier to read (+) * The transfer of data between the smart band and wear app is slooooow and only happens if you open the app (look into it). (-) * Continuous hearth rate check is interesting to have, but unfortunately blood pressure check is missing. * The battery lasts some 6 days, but I usually charge after kinda 5 days already From a band 3 I've seen, the step forward is clearly noticeable, but I cannot tell that it's <so> big... It's just a smart band after all :D PS. SPO2 is "on demand" and I've used it some 5 times all together. Didn't look too accurate either...

Just as a pointer, my understanding is that the expression #nohomo (when used in the forum) is meant to be a kind of joke that kind of disclaims when member of the same sex (guys presumably - and even though we might not even know on the interwebs but just presume every member is a guy even when there could be 25% or more gals participating in the forum? I am not sure.. just throwing it out there.) are showing too much potential liking for each other to suggest that their liking is not meant to be sexual in nature.. but at the same time, the expression sometimes gets used in other contexts too (maybe too much as well?).. just to maybe send a kind of joking message too.. like lol or jk... So as far a disparaging or cultural ramifications or any of those kinds of potential implications, we might not want to get into that kind of a discussion here, but either take it to PM, if you want or to another thread that is about that topic (perhaps in the political section?), even though I tend to hang out in the forum for mostly bitcoin related topics rather than anything too much political or social justice in nature, even if those topics might come up from time to time in some of the threads, especially in the WO thread.

Title: Re: #meritislife: how to be notified on a smartband of merits and mentions Post by: Agbe on April 14, 2022, 12:46:44 AM #meritislife You weren't reading this if you weren't basically agreeing on this. So why frantically refresh your merit page and hit the "Show new replies to your post" link when you can be notified via haptic feedback and immediately revert to the forum in the rare occurrence of real life interfering with logged in time? In this guide i will show you how I setup a very quick, easy and cheap notification machine. This is the plan:
Let's go! 1. Buy a simple and reliable smartband. This notification bot system is very nice because most time you might not use your phone when charging it. You only use the Smartband to know the incoming merits . But the Smartband might not work in all the localities because some places might be out network coverage or weak network connection. And also you can not use it to reply comments and type post. But can only be used to observe the inflow merits. These are some of the Disadvantages of the notification device. It is a such potable device that can be used to save time and Events. The wristband is not only to observe Merits but also for decent dressing and wrist fitted. I really appreciate for your well riched Information to help humanity to grow in knowledge and also giving the awareness to the ignorance. When one has not given information he or she will be deformed. So information is life. Now you have given to people.

And also you can not use it to reply comments and type post. But can only be used to observe the inflow merits. Those wristbands are not standalone devices but are meant to be connected to mobile via blue tooth. So you are correct they are prone to network issues when coverage is missing, but that would happen anyway. Also correct, they aren't meant to be used to reply to messages.

Maybe after I buy and subscribe to the guide bot above I will return to this thread to give my opinion about using Smartband as my main is merit notification and mentions. :D Title: Re: #meritislife: how to be notified on a smartband of merits and mentions Post by: fillippone on April 14, 2022, 06:19:37 PM Maybe after I buy and subscribe to the guide bot above I will return to this thread to give my opinion about using Smartband as my main is merit notification and mentions. :D You are more than welcome coming back to this thread and tell us about your experience with your smart and. Dont forget the most important part: the submission to the hairy writs collection! Title: Re: #meritislife: how to be notified on a smartband of merits and mentions Post by: Doan9269 on April 15, 2022, 07:31:37 PM Actually i never come across any of these before but base on what i can see here its worth giving a try, the whole system has been developed to make it easier in getting notified even without being with the mobile phone anywhere and anytime, i think it's also a water resistant band, although the one I've seen people using in my locality here is the smart watch which also give notification on social media but i see this smart band more effective especially when dealing with bitcointalk forum like this in which you can't afford to miss out any vital information or update.

Sorry for bumping this thread, but I'm having trouble receiving notifications for mentions and merits on my Telegram bot. I'm not sure why, and I've followed all of the proper procedures. Please assist me further; perhaps the bot has been upgraded.
@BTTSuperNotifier_bot, while with this one @BitcointalkProjectBot, i can check my merit in last 120 days and my current merit, but i dont get notified whenever i was mentioned or i recieve merit, pls any help @fillippone.

Maybe this helps: what I'm using is BTTSuperNotifier_bot Even more, you can "talk" with the bot. I use now and then /menu for various things (like ignoring users). The full list of commands is: Commands: /start - to start the bot or unstuck it if anything happens. /menu - shows the cool menu. /alt X - set an alternative username. /setMerit X - corrects your cached merit count. Maybe you go to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5248878.0 and read more, maybe I've missed something. Also: make sure it works first on your Telegram (on your phone), seeing the notifications on the smartband is a second step.

I don't really what is the exact problem. Did you go to /menu and checked whether mentions, merits and deleted posts are all enabled? If they are, next step would be to ask in the bot's topic, maybe your non-standard username causes problems.

And indeed, that topic (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5248878.0) is the topic made by the bot creator (TryNinja) to announce the bot and to get contacted in case something is strange/wrong. So my advise is to go and tell clearly (even better than you did here, if possible) your problem in this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5248878.new#new).

I tried it out using my Telegram account with the steps-to-steps drop by @fillippone. It works perfectly well for me, and now I am being saved the stress of searching and going through all threads, for which I have to drop a comment to know if I am being mentioned or not. It's really helpful just by using Telegram alone, having my notifications set to always on for the bot, and having my phone by my side at all times.

Ps, does this wrist band have a vibrator? I wonder who could climax on a daily basis if they wore it under their underwear. 🤣🤣.
