This topic replaces [WORKING] LoyceV's alternative for Piggy's @mention notification bot (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5209773.0). It's self-moderated to keep the topic as compact as possible (for more efficient scraping).
If you used my notification bot in the past, and if you want to keep using it: please copy your original post into this topic.


Results go here: loyce.club/notifications/ (https://loyce.club/notifications/) (mirror (http://tmp.loyce.club/notifications/)).


Post in this topic to subscribe!
See my next post for the required format. This may change once in a while.

Don't create a second post to subscribe: Edit your post to make changes. It's okay to subscribe with your alt account too.

Notifications are not case-sensitive ("loycev" works as well as "LoyceV").

Limitations

• I scrape each topic title only once (it's not the post title). If the topic title changes, it won't change in the Notifications.
• Updates aren't realtime. Currently, notifications are updated every 6 minutes. This may change in the future (depending on the required processing power).
• I only scrape this topic ones an hour. That means any changes you make to your settings take a while to show up. If a new post is made, I rescan the entire topic.
• Only notifications from the past 7 days are shown. Older notifications will be removed.
  If you've just subscribed, you'll still get notifications from the past 7 days (retroactive). Changes in your settings also affect older notifications.
• If there's a "$" in your username, I'll remove it from your name before searching for matches (this is why (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5209773.msg53379490#msg53379490)).
• Only unedited (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5167469.0) posts are checked. If your name is mentioned in a post later on, I miss it.

Warning
Don't quote someone else's preferences (the ones within code-tags) in this topic. I don't excluded quotes, so you might accidentally "copy" and use someone else's preferences.

I ignore most characters, but a "2" (so 2LoyceV) wouldn't be ignored and thus won't produce a notification. If you use @LoyceV, that works fine. Lower case works fine too, quotation marks and most other characters work too.
To be precise, I use grep --word-grep (https://ss64.com/bash/grep.html):

For performance reasons, I remove all input files older than 7 days for my notification bot.

Yes. If you remove your post, updates stop within an hour. If you want me to remove the file (https://loyce.club/notifications/), I can do that manually.

My server uses Cloudfront for DDoS-protection. Most of the time this works fine, even on Tor browser. But sometimes this happens:
In that case, try my mirror: tmp.loyce.club/notifications/ (http://tmp.loyce.club/notifications/).

Use this format to subscribe (please keep this in 1 post only):

Notifications: https://loyce.club/notifications/459836.html

Use your own userID in the first link, this is where your notifications will go.
Create an Ignore-list within code-tags. Use one userID per line, and start each line with "ignoreuser:". The first userID on my ignore list is my own: I don't want to receive a notification when I'm talking to myself :P

Options within code-tags (not all options are needed, just add what you need):
Ignore user:
ignoreuser:userID
Ignore topic:
ignoretopic:topicID
Preference: show fullquotes or justlinks:
fullquotesorjustlinks:fullquotes (this is the default behaviour, just like the forum)
or
fullquotesorjustlinks:justlinks
Preference: ascending or descending:
order:oldestfirst (this is the default behaviour, just like the forum)
or
order:newestfirst
Preference: show notification for other keywords:
alias:nickname (only letters and numbers, you can add more than one alias, use a new line for each)
If you're a girl (or if you really just want to be addressed as "she"):
iamagirl:yes (the default is assuming you're a dude)

Please use one option per line.
The maximum is currently set to 50 options in total. Post here if that's not enough.

Man, I didn't know about this, trying out now. I was old user of the herokuapp and it stopped working months ago. I also don't use Telegram so I was without notifications for a long time! Thanks!!

This has been on my TODO for years:

I've added it. Try this:

It took me a while to fix this, so it's still experimental. Adding the feature was easy, but triggering it at the right moment (to reduce server load) didn't really fit my current setup. Let me know if anything fails.

It's not working yet. Feel free to add an alias already, I'll test it later.
I tested it again, and it looks okay. Try it, and keep me posted :)

I think I got it now :D

I will try.

Is this correct?

What about running a Tor server? I've got the following address you could have :P:

How stupid I am. I was searching for the posting format all over the OP but did not notice you asked to check the next post. I was even digging the old thread that was replaced by this one. LOL. Is it possible to get old notifications where I was mentioned in the last seven days if I subscribe today? Do I have to post my subscription post in a different post than this? Or I can post with this text? I will try before LoyceV replies.

I deleted all^* old posts that aren't Notification requests to reduce the size of this topic for efficiency.

^* Except for one user, it doesn't feel right to delete his posts now.

Bump: I've created a new mirror, in case Cloudfront is blocking you:

Hello LoyceV

I have a suggestion for your tool.

Please add the board in the post title.

For example:

Post 65812140 (unedited backup) (by bitmover) (scraped on Tue Sep 16 12:01:55 CEST 2025) in Service Announcements  > CCE.Cash is an instant, low-fee, no-KYC cryptocurrency exchanger:

This would make easier to navigate to common visited boards. Just a suggestion

Sorry, I never stored the board, and (without a database) won't make more changes. May I recommend TryNinja's notifications (https://beta.ninjastic.space/user/id/1554927/notifications) for this?

Notifications: http://loyce.club/notifications/3763375.html

The Game Master's notification page (http://loyce.club/notifications/3763375.html) didn't work on it's own, so I looked into it.
Let's compare the HTML source. This is what I'm looking for:
And this is what The Game Master produces:
There's an additional rel="ugc", and I don't know why. So my solution is to simply remove that code tag, and it works again :)
