The format doesn't really matter unless is some weird stuff that works only in some ancient databases. Like I said: it's just (compressed) text-files. But about 2.5 million of them  If you can handle that I can upload 600 MB somewhere, but it's probably easier for you if I only give you what you really need  If you can trim it to that it would be excellent, and I see on DdmrDdmr topic that he's interested too so just make a dump there when you feel like it or have the time, no need for us to crossposting. I noticed my couch-comment moved topics indeed  If you can keep on collecting data it would be great especially if Theymos will implement the bumping limit one of these days.
Probably we will see a decrease of over 25-30% in the altcoins section and at least percentage wise a revival in bitcoin sections. Sure |

Update!Even though Bitcoin Dominance went up, our total Bitcoin value dropped a bit, and we're now at a small loss. That means other altcoins have outperformed our selection this month. After such a bloody month, it was to be expected to be slaughtered in dollars: it dropped just over 50% in value. In retrospect, DarkStar_ was on to something: Semi serious question, is USDT allowed to be chosen? December 13, 2018. Results ↑↓ after 4 months, with 6 months to go:

I don’t know if it is possible to tell the difference between a deleted post and a deleted thread, as I commented in a post above. I’ll give it a thought tomorrow (perhaps trying to scrape the whole set of deleted posts by topic and not the full message will give me the answer: if the thread still exists it should download something). You can easily check if a thread still exists: just try to open the link like this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2895261 (this topic received 316 Merit and is deleted or off limits to non-Mods. Note: the link to file.io seems to be unavailable. I really need new hosting  This works, but changed the Russian into something else: link removed. |

I'll take your offer only if you have it already and it doesn't mean you wasting time on it as probably I won't have either enough to play with it and extract some proper data from it these weeks. I have it, but I'd like to know what format you prefer. As a suggestion: I can give you the date/time of each post on each board, and leave out the rest. It's a lot of data currently to send. If you have time to work on more statistics, let me know when you're ready. I'm just collecting more data until then. |

When you say I would need to use similar brain wallet software to recover, can you name some examples of such? https://www.bitaddress.org/ and http://bitcoinpaperwallet.com/ are the most common ones. It's probably a good idea to keep your own copy of https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org , or email it to yourself in case it's no longer available in the future. Clearly I haven't used that type of software before, so unless I can get my head around it, it would seem too unsafe to risk using my current brain wallet and will need to change plans. I'd say try it: do as you planned with a different brain-password, create a wallet, put 0.0001 BTC in it, turn off your offline computer, turn it on again, and try to get back your funds and move them to another wallet. To confirm, I believe you're saying the private key generated from the existing wallet can't just be used in most wallet recovery services even with the key itself (ie. not the seed phrase)? The private key can be imported and used in most wallets, but you'll need to convert the brain-password into a key first, using the same software you used to create it. |

Yes, checking the deleted merited post’s board could be interesting. Thanks for the list of merited and deleted posts! Out of 6291 deleted posts. I have downloaded only 582 of them in the past 3 months. That could mean there's less Merit abuse now than in the 7.5 months before I started downloading all posts. These posts have been created, merited and delected sine September 12: not my brightest moment, it's deleted after first click. I haven't counted them yet per board, but my couch is calling me |

The thing I was going to examine after this was the evolution in the number of posts/day in some boards especially in the days before and after the two changes in the merit system But...probably at this pace, I will do it next year so if you have the data and time it would be nice to find out. I'm especially curious about this because Loycev keeps showing red candles after red candles in the number of posts and I wonder where the bulk of the reduction is happening. I can get you >99% of all posts from the past 3 months (since September 12) if you're interested. I've stored the original unedited post, excluding quotes. Your post for example looks like this: stompix

<br />Phew! So it's not that messed up.<br />Honestly, first I thought about doing it monthly but when the data pilled up, especially the constant movement between sectioned and I realized I had to deal with each manually I put it on hold.

This should be enough to find out where the post reduction happens. |

I stumbled across a bug where Bitcoin QT could send bitcoins without a password in an encrypted wallet. First: I don't believe you You use image tags, but Newbies can't embed images. When I follow your link, Google Drive tells me "You need permission". I'm not sure what you're trying to share, but a general warning: DO NOT install programs from unknown sources! |

I used bitaddress.org offline to generate the private key using the chosen 12 word phrase. Then took that private key generated and went to wallet details on same site (still offline) to generate the Public Key to be able to send to. So you created a "classic" brainwallet. That has nothing to do with BIP39, forget about that. You'll need to use similar brainwallet software to recover your (one) private key. I made a sentence which I can remember. I don't have confidence over long term (talking years) to be able to remember a random selection of 12 words. Whilst I'm aware a human created phrase is less secure, it is not a phrase that has ever been written anywhere in history (ie. from a book etc) and involves ancestors name and totally unrelated topic, so I can't see how it could ever be hacked? eg. something like "yohan sputz went to romania in 1848 and ate some good cake" - that's not it, but not sure how that could be brute forced or guessed?
Happy to be corrected though! There are several publications on safety, including some researchers who did some brute-forcing. The main problem with brainwallets is that it's possible to attack all existing brainwallets at the same time, and it's not a heavy encryption. That makes it possible to search billions or even trillions of combinations, including dictionary attacks. I'll search for some examples: The Bitcoin Brain Drain: A Short Paper on the Use and Abuse of Bitcoin Brain WalletsSpeed Optimizations in Bitcoin Key Recovery AttacksFor me the reason for the mnemonic being a phrase I can remember is basically because it will only be used years from now in an emergency eg. govt. attack at border check point as a random example. So likely would only be worst case scenario, and for a limited time. Make sure to check (and test!) once in a while if you still know the exact phrase, and can still recover it. And make sure the address you stored somewhere can't be changed. If someone manages to changes your address into his own, you'll unknowingly send all your funds to an attacker. If you have the 12 words, you can recover the funds is almost all decent wallets. That's incorrect. OP used a brainwallet. So if I understand correctly, you're saying I could just regenerate private keys then scan QR codes into wallet. The phrase I have used generates private keys in bitaddress.org but when doing it in iancoleman, it says obviously words not in wordlist. Does this mean the private keys spit out by bitaddress might not work?
BIP39 or iancoleman's site has nothing to do with brainwallets.
When you say "offline", do you use a LIVE Linux operating system that only runs from RAM, and removes all traces when you turn it off? Just unplugging your regular computer from the internet is not enough to consider it safe if you plug it back in afterwards. |

If I do that you will give me the loan eh ? Unlikely. But I can tag the hacked accounts. |

winner with the closest price wil earn 0.115 BTC Since I'm still wearing my hat, I'm going to be greedy ballsy: I want the current dollar value of 1 Bitcoin as a prize That's $3524.25 on Bitcoinaverage (I couldn't archive it). So I value 0.115 BTC at $3524.25, making my prediction $30,645.65. This is going straight into my kids' college funds ~snip pessimists~

What if last post can only bump a thread once every X hours?
For example, if someone writes "Good Project" every 10 minutes, it doesn't matter . The topic will only go to top every 12 hours. This brings me to an even easier suggestion: get rid of bumping on those boards entirely, and show threads that were bumped in the last 24 hours in a random order. |
|
|

I have a few "counter questions" for you: What BIP39 tool did you use? https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ ? How did you create the 12 words? Were they randomly generated, or did you try to make a sentence which you can easily remember? If it's not random enough, you're at risk for a brute-force attack. In general, it's a very good practice to test recovery of a private key before funding it's address. |

Another thing - I'm not sure that such services would be really effective. People who find their account hacked usually use link that they got to email to lock account or ask moderators to lock account. Hacker can't do anything with locked account, so he can't return account to original owner after getting ransom. Only theymos or Cyrus can recover locked account. Global Moderator hilariousandco can unlock accounts too (he just can't unban them). It could still work if the account credentials are transfered, but it's one more hoop to jump through. I still hope that one day theymos will release automated account recovery system and such services that you're offering wont be needed. The last thing I read about it was "before the end of this year", but that wasn't an official announcement. |

No, they would only get auto-banned when they say specific words which can only be used as an insult.
For example: idiot, faggot, fuck you, gay, motherfucker, nazi and others.. So you want to ban people for saying they're gay? That's a terrible thing to automate! Insults are different for everyone. TMAN for instance likes to call people "princess". If you can't say "motherfucker" everybody still knows what you mean when you type "mohterfucker". Someone else can get insulted by boy bands. If you get insulted by crap you read online, you need to get a different hobby. |

The number of posts keeps dropping hard. ~ when I look at Show unread posts since last visit. (without any boards on ignore), it's still only [ANN], [ICO], [BOUNTY] and [PRE-ICO] (and 2 Russian threads I can't read) in the first 10 topics. The current (momentary) top 10: a gambling thread, [ICO], Russian, Turkish thread about Bitcoin, Turkish thread about KFC, another gambling thread, [BOUNTY], Altcoin Discussion, Beginners & Help and another [ICO]. It's a small improvement, that page used to be completely worthless. |

They could all have been in a car though? The true optimist Now you know, if you're going to create a world-changing cryptocurrency: don't carpool. the white paper refers to a we. That seems to be quite common in scientific papers. |
