Bitcoin Forum

Unrelated: I created this test page to help people design ads:
https://bitcointalk.org/ad_test.html
Download it, open it in a text editor, and look at the comments. (This is a little difficult to do with normal topic pages due to the anti-adblocker obfuscation code.)

Have a look of a thread in the staff forum: https://bitcointalk.org/ad_test.html ;)

It's intentional of course, theymos has allowed entry for people to design ads for the site.

Number of users disabled ad : https://bitcointalk.org/adstats.php .

hi muhammed!!!

i ask you if you can give me [us] a little how to about adstats page:

https://bitcointalk.org/adrotate.php?adstats

will be very appreciated!!!

thanks

is there any link for login and logout activity?

I would hope this would not even be tracked. Logging this kind of activity would only reduce the privacy of users of the forum and would make the forum a bigger target for 'big brother'

We don't need that..
I guess that mods can see that

Why do people assume that mods are God and can see or change everything?

There's also mod activity on https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.php

because some people doesn't know the difference between administrator and moderator?

There is another page I am trying to find that shows you a list of what topics online users are looking at, I cannot find it right now though.

wow!!!

can you explain better this secret folder???
i can see pdf and images inside.

thanks...

The first folder appears to be old files back from when Satoshi was the main administrator here. I believe: https://bitcointalk.org/oldSiteFiles/images/screen3.png is a screenshot of Satoshi's Bitcoin wallet from 2009, showing a payment to an IP address rather than a Bitcoin address, which was a feature included in early versions of Bitcoin Core that was removed for security risks.

An interesting thing about that screenshot is that it must have been made on a different block chain. The dates don't match up with the current block chain.

never thought that there is such thing to send it to an IP address, well im new so i guess there is alot more hidden in this forum
PS : that simple UI of bitcoin core is very nice

~~
this page show the password activity for all users...
the page is:
https://bitcointalk.org/seclog.php
~~

you used to be able to query someone running QT via their IP address and the node would reply with a fresh address to send to. I believe the feature was disabled in an early version of QT because I believe of DDOS concerns

1) I don't believe that secure IP-based transactions are possible. The internet has no API to confirm that you are the real owner of an IP address. This would need to involve your ISP.

2) We already have bitcoin addresses, why would you complicate it by having mulitple kinds of addresses? What inherent advantages do IP transactions have that hash-based transactions don't have?

3) Also if you really want IP based transactions (or other forms of address shortening) they could be implemented as a secondary service apart from the P2P protocol. I see no advantage to having this as part of the main protocol.

I like old UI, simple and clean. I hope it will be used again.

I also preferred the overall look of the old UI, though it had far fewer features, and I've heard that it was more difficult for programmers to work with.

You have a picture of a kitty cat. I feel in my bones that I do not like you *growls*

Off-topic : You have mentioned in that thread about Satoshi's views/words and Mike Hearn mentioned about using HTTPS over HTTP, so will this feature come again - sending to IP via HTTPS protocol?

once i found a page where we can see all the post and users
it was a hidden page, i don't remember it now but i will post a link soon as i find it

i think you are talking about this..

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats

but this is not hidden

 ;D ;D ;D

look at the bottom left of bitcointalk home page!

trust suggestions (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;suggest)

trust suggestions (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;suggest)

Is there a way you can see how a specific user as set up his "Trust list"?

stuff

Yes

#1 safe your old trust list
#2 set only the user in question on your trust list and click udate
#3 see their list under Depth 1, those that are listed as not trustworthy are striked through

-edited on request-

Wow, I never know about any of this pages before

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=who

Do you think that enabling this function might negatively affect the privacy of some users?

Looks like it can be disabled as I do not show up on the list. You neither btw. Its probably because I disabled "Show others your online status?"

Something like that will be in the new software.

There's a hidden feature in the current forum that allows you to filter "unread posts since last visit" by board:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=unread;boards=6,37,4,1

When I read hidden feature I though this should be in this thread.

added in OP!!!
thanks shorena!!!

I think there aren't other hidden features, but maybe I may be wrong. I should "check" this forum in these days, maybe I will find something.

Feeling ashamed.  :-[

Am I the only one who didn't see "Quick-moderation" feature till now? A "paper and pencil" small icon above "Report to moderator". It can be used to make a quick edit without going to new page.

i'm not sure..
but i think in the new forum software it will be possible...
i mean, maybe, the quick edit functionality will be present...

or you are asking if this functionality it is an hidden functionality in the actual forum?

he is asking whether or not people have noticed the quick-edit function.
it's the icon above the "report to moderator".

Very cool thread. Nice bit of history seeing satoshi's post there. Kudos OP and contributors.

you mean Quick-edit, right?
if so then you're not the only one. I was aware of that icon for a long time but I never bothered to check what it does until dogie pointed that out. (dogie never even saw it until a few days ago)

Yeah, cool feature that, hope it's retained on the new forum.
Also it would be nice to have a visible at all times "this post has been edited" icon, if editing has taken place after more posts have been made.
Some people are really irritating with retrospective editing.

You can see it if a post is edited after 10 minutes by checking if there is a dotted line under the time post was made. If there is, hover your mouse above the line and you will see who edited it lastly and what time it was edited.

just tryied
but not work for me...
but this functionality it is avaiable just for posts not yours???

chrome 41.0.2272.118 m here.

thanks shorena!!!

you can also filter the "show unread replies to your posts" by replacing the "action=unread" with "action=unreadreplies".
like this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=unreadreplies;boards=6,37,4,1

didn't think of that until someone asked  :P

That's actually not a hidden page. Its just a way of filtering unread replies., and this is most probably very uneasy to use because you will have to remember the code of the boards you want to filter out. So it doesn't belong to this list.

It is in a sense hidden "page". When you filter it, you will see a page which is hidden. I think features like this belongs here. However, if not, OP can add "hidden features" in subject.

If you forgot a board's ID, you can check it easily but most people will remember ID of boards they visit. In almost all browsers, you can type board's name, for example, Meta, it will show you the link and you can see the ID. This doesn't work if you clear browser history and if you browse this forum only through incognito/private window.

There's a "patrol" page, you can activate it on the profile settings,
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent;patrol

it shows newbie posts for the mods I think.

I enabled it sometime ago but I didn't understand what is patrol page? ATM I can see 85 posts in Patrol page only. Anybody?

It shows all recent posts by newbies. Posts new to the patrol page for you have a "new" icon. It's intended for patrolling for spam.

Thank you. Is there any limit? How many posts does it show? Within how much time does the post should be to consider it as "recent" if that's the limit?

I don't know if its really hidden but you can get the replies to your latest posts:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=unreadreplies (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=unreadreplies)

There isn't a post limit to show. It shows newbie posts from last 2 hours.

thank you caki!!!

just tested...

really useful  to check newbie quality posts...

really a swiss knife for mods.

nice catch cakir!

Not sure if someone else posted it:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats

You can see all the stats of the whole forum. Hope you like it:)

Wow, like the page alot. The stats are just unbelieveable... Are so many members here?!

everybody can find it in homepage, at the bottom left of the page...

thanks anyway

Hope you can remove patrol too. It isn't a hidden page.

There's a subforum that is only visible to donators.

I don't know what you are planning to do with board numbers but I think it's safe to say, nothing fancy there:

Donators (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=68)
Staff Forum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=3)
Trashcan (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=15) (Real trashcan, not altcoin section)

hi heral...

all three links are inaccessible to Sr. Members...

mybe you need to be ranked as Hero?

-snip-
I got a query , i see "Nuke user: N/A in topic #0 by member #509593"
What does Nuke means here? Banned ? :-\

"Nuke" is something staff (esp. lower ranks) can do to newbies. It silently removes all their posts and bans the account. Its typically used to fight spambots.

That sounds really awesome , i have seen many newbie's making useless posts , so they must be spambots. How does a mod get's to know about it? Will it be good if i report them ?
Just one more question, You said staff (esp. lower ranks) , as i know there are two types of staff #1 Administrator and #2 Global moderator , so except Badbear and Theymos , everyone else is lower ranks staff or are there any more staff ranks ?

Regarding the ranks I think Muhammed is correct, but the ranks are not consistent across sections. E.g. Mitchell is ranked moderator in the section he is moderating (dutch local) but ranked "Staff" elsewhere. Thus aside from the dutch local section he has no power, but to nuke and otherwise act against newbies. Everything else has to be reported.

I wouldn't say that patrollers have no power, but yeah, I can't do a lot outside my board.

Mind telling us what exactly you can do?

As patroller or as (local board) moderator?

None of the links in OP is hidden with that logic. The only hidden page to normal members is Staff Forum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=3).

Outside of your local board or (more general) assigned section. I imagine within your local board you have full mod rights and thus can do pretty much everything directly besides issuing a ban.

Mod knows by looking their posts. Their posts most probably will be rephrased. If you think a newbie is spambot, report it and it will be nuked.

Types of staff(according to their power/position):

 • Admin
 • Global Moderator
 • Moderator
 • Patroller

Heh, you could add founder to the list of staff ranks. I have no idea what powers Satoshi's account has, I'd say probably adminstrator priviledges, but I'd imagine that has been changed years ago, since administrator accounts aren't left unattended for long. So I suppose it would be more apt to say Satoshi would have admin powers if they come back.

Admins: can do everything imaginable on the site. They however can't delete their accounts.

Global Moderators: can perma ban, nuke newbies, see and handle reports from all sections, and see reported PMs.

Moderators: can see and handle reports from their sections and nuke newbies

Patrollers: Are essentially Moderators but can only do moderator tasks for newbie members.



And the Donator/VIP section and Trashcan.

Thank you :)
I have never heard of Patroller before

 -snip-

So that means , Moderators are patrollers outside of their Section?
Or is it something else , can i get a profile link to a patroller ?

I made a very rough tool for this:
https://bitcointalk.org/gettopics.php?user=311162

I found this while spying around some user's topic list.
board filter -> https://bitcointalk.org/gettopics.php?user=35&board=24.0

Thanks, really interesting stuff. Some really weird stuff on the passwords page


What's going on with people like this?

Whoa!  Those pages are very interesting.  I was looking to see if KeyserSoze got banned, but I didn't see his name in there.  Very cool, thanks for posting.

IMO they're either trying to cover the seclog page with spam, or they're trying to hide some evidence of their wrongdoings.

They might have hacked someone's account then didn't want people to know, so they decide to flood the place with spam.

I heard a mod (not saying who, find out yourself, I don't want to get in trouble) say there was a hidden mod/admin dox thread, that has volunteered and other information on some admins and mods.

Never heard of such a thing and I've been staff for a while now.

I find it weird that I probably am the only one checking Who is online feature every once in a while  :P

Whow.... many password changes every day.

Interesting. Didn't know alot of these links. Guess you find something new even after years of being online at bitcointalk. :D

Edit: Wasn't there a link that shows all the recent unread threads that you get notifications for? The feature in the profile shows all links but I want to see the threads with new answers. I can't find it anymore or wasn't there such a feature?

First line highlighted. Is that what you're looking for?

What does "woke up" mean on this page? https://bitcointalk.org/seclog.php


Apologies to the users names above being used as examples. I just copy & paste the first four names on the list is all.

This user recently woke up from a long period of inactivity.

The trust page reflects the following message:
I am not sure how much inactivity is needed for this to be reflected.

Okay, I figured it out maybe. These accounts could be compromised, for I was just contacted by one of them dormant accounts offering up a service.

Please look into this. Or let me know if I'm a crazy fuck.

It shows up if a user has logged in with their last login time being at least 6 months ago.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=who

Effectively useless because of the "Guest" accounts and high volume.
Remove them and it would probably be usable.

Anyway i knew of many of these for years.

I didn't finish reading this all yet but i have a handy one i think.
And a curiosity..
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=credit;unproxyban
That one did not always look the way it does NOW.
I have a screen cap i got from a guy on Poloniex way back that showed a blocked message + fee request for unblocking.
I also tried it back then and seen it load live.. i still have the picture and the users name and date from Polo too.
(Source = balance.ninja 10/14/2014 Poloniex chat box)

This one helps looking up a user ;)
https://bitcointalk.org/gettopics.php?user=138471
Obviously change the UID to the one you want to look up.
Such as #2 or #3  :D

This one i found via Google way back..
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=drafts
It saved my ass from a browser crash and losing everything i had typed up.

theymos has plenty i am sure.  :D

By the way I'd post the image in question but anytime i have in the past in would mysteriously vanish later.
I suspect someone here was blocking it.
And yeah i did all kinds of things.. i had to.
It was flagged.
Not at first but later on..

So the next time i tried to post it.. it would show the classic error msg.
So i would change the file name and size and even the format and re-post..
then it would end up blocked again later.

So yeah of course i still have the picture and yeah duh.. of course theymos doesn't want it posted LOL
..so i won't bother.

and it's pizza and cookies GAMOW !!!!11
It will be pretty quick anyway.. I'm gettin' hungry.  :'(

---

EDIT:

Well i google searched the email address used in the picture and i guess i just found theymos's name  :D

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195037.msg2234133#msg2234133
That is an unrelated topic i think that mentions that exact message i see in my picture from Polo.
If you Google the 2nd half of the email address it comes up with a name fast in Google with links to other emails and domains etc.

Ooops my bad i guess i just Doxxed theymos  :o
