The bot is ready for download. Check out the Announcement thread: [ANN] Free Bitcointalk Forum Account Potential Activity Counter Bot


Hi there.

I opened a thread about that topic before here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1136181.new#new and here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1140600.new#new .

This is for crowdfund a potential activity counter bot. It runs on php so everyone can easily set this bot up on a webhosting or on your private computer with XAMPP or some other localhoster software.

I created an escrow address for that at:

Code:

16N8JZKmb1hLFaErTAz8M3LSPHgwuHQ1YD

0.1BTC needed in total.

Status FILLED (100% done):
0.0355 BTC tipped by BTCBLOGGER
0.03 BTC tipped by chronicsky
0.01 BTC tipped by subSTRATA
0.01 BTC tipped by SteadyTurtle
0.01 BTC tipped by Athertle
0.0025 BTC tipped by tarsua
0.002 BTC tipped by lahm-44

-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Message signed with an old address of mine, that i posted may 2013 on bitcointalk. See my Servicethread.

The developer created a testversion at http://www.satoshiquiz.com/bitcointalk/getactivity.php but please note that this version is only for crowdfunding and will vanish again. It is limited to requests for accounts of up to 100 posts and to 3 requests per ip each day.

I tested the script with my own account too so it will work with big accounts too later. The only thing that needs to be done then would be to to raise the maximum script execution timeout since the forum only allows 1 request each second. So when you have a big account then it will take some minutes. If you have 200 posts then you would have 10 pages of posts that the bot has to check. That means it would take 10 seconds.

The script shows the posts counted per timeframe and in total and the potential activity.

It uses the exact timestamps of the timeframes. See here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=582736.0

It checks for forum loading errors, that are quite usual at the moment, and handles such errors.

Feel free to test it on http://www.satoshiquiz.com/bitcointalk/getactivity.php and if you think that this script should become open source then tip until the amount is filled. If the amount if full and someone tips even more then i can only send it back when you can sign a message from the sending address. Otherwise it cant be proved that you sent it.

Its best to check how far we are with the funding before you send. See: https://blockchain.info/address/16N8JZKmb1hLFaErTAz8M3LSPHgwuHQ1YD

Hope it works well for you.

I wanted to point a link to a thread i created. I would ask for offers in the thread as to what would it cost to create such a bot. I imagine when using a scriptlanguage like iOpus or greasemonkey, that it would be easily done.

See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1136181.new#new

Hello,

i wanted to ask how miners chose the transactions to be implemented. I mean the spam transactions are huge. Yes, the standard is to pay per kb, but are the huge transactions really paying so well for their size?

I mean, when a miner sees a small transaction paying 0.00001 btc and a huge transaction paying 0.0001 Bitcoin. Then he choses the huge transaction even when the huge one is 100 times bigger than the small transaction? Or is there some logic implemented?

At the end the small transactions might bring in more fees in total.

Additionally, accepting these huge blocks is lowering the propagation time of that block. Which leads to some blocks found being orphaned by faster 1 transaction blocks.

Maybe its already implemented that way. I was only wondering if the spam couldnt be handled on that way.

Greetings!

Hello,

i would like to pay a bill and i know that there are a couple of services that offer this again. For example bitwala. Though i believe there are a number of them.

So i would like to know which services existe momentarely and which can be suggested, price, safety and so.

Is any of them sending SEPA for bills you dont have yet? I mean items where you only get the bill when the items are shipped. So you have to send money first.

Thanks!

I ask this on here because account sellers will be around here. If the thread is better placed elsewhere then let me know.

The topic is about counting activity of forum accounts. With an account that has a couple hundred of posts, or even thousands, its work to count the potential activity. But its an important thing for sellers and buyers.

So subSTRATA suggested a bot: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1112707.msg11952386#msg11952386 Such a bot would make account trading very much easier. Sellers have an easy task to count, buyers can verify when they bought and escrows can verify fast when the buyer wants the escrow to check the potential activity.

What i would want to ask in this thread is if there is someone offering a price for creating such a bot and secondly if there are enough sellers interested to crowdfund such a bot. I dont have a clue how easy such task would be though there should be certain scripting languages for browsers.

So i would like to post offers for creating such a bot and i would like to post if someone would tip for such a cause.

Maybe someone can ask my questions.

So the empty blocks, or 1 transaction blocks, happen because a so small block will be propagated very fast through the nodes. Means 1 MB blocks might have a hard time reaching >50% and might get orphaned often.

When we now get 20MB blocks at one point, shouldnt the problem worsen then? I mean i can imagine the incentive to mine 1 transaction blocks will be even higher because the p2p speed wont keep up with that i think.

* Wont this be a problem?

Maybe a solution is to spread headers first, so some data identifying a found block. These headers are spread through all nodes in light time. The blocks follow later and can be verified. A one transaction block verified faster gets still orphaned when a 20 MB block gets verified later. That would ensure that empty blocks are not worth it.

There would need to be a timeout. Spreading faked headers wouldnt help because they would need to match a found block.

* Will this be a solution?

Then... when the spam happened, why did miners chose the huge transactions over many small ones with smaller fees? Shouldnt they chose many small transactions and shouldnt they be able to put more transactions with more fees into the block that way? Or only use the blocks that have the highest fee per satoshi. It shouldnt go after the fee per transaction because big transactions use much space and propagation time. It doesnt make so much sense to chose huge transactions that slow down a block and prevent more transactions being implemented only because they have a higher fee than small transactions. Though maybe its already handled that way.

* How is it handled and if not so why?

And what someone mentioned today... when we really want adoption we might need to drop the idea of a max block size completely and implement something like fee per output, since in fact each is its own transaction and should be treated like that. Since no post office allows you to bring 100 letters in a big box and send them out to 100 locations for 5 times the price for one letter. No, you either can chose the price of 5 times a letter to ship all letters to one location or you pay the price for 100 letters. I dont see a reason why bitcoin shouldnt handle it the same way.

* Is there a good reason to prefer transactions with many outputs?

Why? What happens when amazon decides to accept bitcoins? We might get flooded with transactions and might have filled our max blocks pretty fast. We would fail at the end maybe because a fork cant be made fast enough. So i think in order to allow adoption the max block size idea has to be dropped.

* What do you think about this potential adoption hinderness?

Anyone knows whats the thing with cryptostocks.com? I only get "We're sorry, but something went wrong." when i access the site.

Kumala, the owner did not care about the site since ages but now it stopped working completely?

I see sometimes that it seems to be that users on bitcointalk can guess pretty good which accounts were sold in an auction that ended. Simply because the forum shows them the accounts with changed passwords. So what i wonder if thats a feature that makes sense. Password changes does happen when the forum was hacked too and when someone is uncertain about if an account was hacked, he can ask for signing an address that was posted some time ago. It would be more important that "Edited" notes would be there, which i lately miss somehow. Might be only because of editing too fast though.

So what are your thoughts? Is it a good thing to show that the password was changed lately?

Does anyone know signalpush.com? Is it a trustworthy service and how trustworthy are the performance stats for signals there?

As far as i understood it they are similar to tradewave and cryptotrader, only users can either offer their bot signals to others or they can buy the signals.

Im an escrow for the community since may 2013 now, im a member since june 2011. I already escrowed more than 8150BTC since may 2013. Some addresses where i was trusted with many users coins are:

1K2UFGCKyNQNx4h2m5ZRCaw9BWHTBcCZAA
1GFEJMUeeAWcsvhnTXmGyf5NdKaqfymbou
15azZjXZokui1cXkcP4XdryL9sXYi1rkqY
14UhVi5QWwvhA1QUNYp2uVapRoPaTyzoBJ
1AXSThtCPviP4zXmoxXZmFUd27HkPL9Xty
1Aq1Kt6LBPgXxzq86DPwoZHAM83iAKb9H3

These addresses alone held over 4800BTC, worth $120 each at that time, which were over half a million USD. I was honest and did not run with that money. I think thats a good indicator as to what character i have.

Additionally i had hundred of seller buyer deals worth over 3350BTC as of 2015-06-27. (I counted only trades >1BTC and only the full bitcoins.). I can proof this amount to staff too. I wont post the addresses publicly since traders might not want to be public. But i can sign every Bitcoin Escrow Address and proof these amounts.

In total thats >8150BTC, which would be worth 1 Million USD. In fact it would be way more because the bitcoin price was way higher than 122USD for a long time. (122$ would only be the bitcoin price needed to reach 1 Mio USD value)

Im still the same owner of this account of course. I can proove it by signing a message to each of the addresses above. I will do so here for the first address 1K2UFGCKyNQNx4h2m5ZRCaw9BWHTBcCZAA, you can see i posted the address here on 2013-05-11: Link

I will encode the forum post message, where i posted that address, so that it cant be changed anymore.

Code:

SebastianJu Escrow 2015-06-27

Text Forumpost:

I created a new Sendingaddress for batch 2 at 1K2UFGCKyNQNx4h2m5ZRCaw9BWHTBcCZAA so that its easier to see how many bitcoins are collected for batch 2 already. I will reroute the transactions that go to the old address to the new address.

The new address is in a new wallet, that exists only for the group buy. So this wallet only has to be opened again when the batch 2 has to be bought.

What can i escrow:

I can handle personal trades with me holding Bitcoins. I will hold altcoins when its not too hard to hold them in escrow.

I only take bitcointalk forum accounts into escrow whose risked amount are at least $50 per account. Otherwise the risk i can help avoiding and the amount of time i have to implement are in no sane proportion.

I might take other accounts or things into escrow when its possible to secure them.

I can be escrow for ICO's, IPO's and Groupbuys.

Ask me for other things here in thread or by pm.


How to start:

Contact me by pm or in this thread. Ill get back to you and ask you for the details or send you the escrow deal details directly, when i know the business partner.

Never send to an address that was quoted by someone who claims i sent it to him. I will always send the escrow addresses directly to both parties. If youre unsure if the one writing you is really me then ask me to sign a message with one of the above posted addresses. That will prove that i still own this account.

When answering PM's, please always use "Reply to all" so that all involved parties get informed.

In case signed messages has to be verified, then its the fastest to visit https://brainwallet.github.io/#verify and click on Bitcoin-QT. Then you can proove fast if the signature is correct and so you know that the address is controlled by the seller.


Why?

Lets give scammers zero chances...

Am i doing something wrong or did https://brainwallet.org/#verify stop working? Im not sure if there were buttons to start the verification or if it started automatically but nothing happens anymore. Enter doesnt work too. I tried Firefox and Chrome and its the same on both.

Is it broken? Can someone suggest an alternative link?

Im still not fully able to wrap my head around how probability works.

So for a dice site that has a house advantage you can calculate the theoretical profit. Thats because of probability laws.

Though in fact the reality shows that its going above or lower than that often enough. Thats normal.

In theory the two lines should develop somewhat similar.

Though mathematically after a big drop or a big rise the real profit line should start new from the point where it is. Meaning, it doesnt know its past. It should follow the theoretical profit line now again, only +- the level where it is now.

So in fact its somewhat of a chart where you know a bit where the price will develop to.

See first graph at: https://sites.google.com/site/justdicestats/dynamic

Though when i watch these graphs then i wonder why a crash and a rise is often following. Its a bit like the probability is trying to push it back on its way.

Back with JD i tried to game that. Divest when profit is higher than theoretical and invest when its lower. And it worked. But it shouldnt.

So whats the story behind this? Is probability pushing it back? In theory it should not care about it when its higher or lower.

Can someone explain so that i see it?

Seit wann ist das denn? Ich sollte einen localbitcoins account sichern und bekomme die Meldung: "Unfortunately LocalBitcoins is currently not available in your selected region. Please look for other location or come back later."

Ist das ganz neu? Bis jetzt hatte ich nie Probleme damit. Musste die Domaincookies löschen und einen US VPN nutzen um den Account nicht zu riskieren.

Wieso ist localbitcoins in Deutschland nicht mehr erlaubt? :O

I think i got how staking works now. When you hold clams then you will get a clam reward from staking occassionally. The amount of clams matter too. The more clams you hold the more often you get a reward.

How did this other thing work? I have read that when you held coins on a bitcoin address at a certain date then you might already own clams.

Isnt it risky to import your private bitcoin wallet keys into a clam wallet? Wouldnt that compromise the bitcoin wallets security? And were the coins at that time spread proportionally to the amount on that address too?

Would this include a security risk in regard to who owns the bitcoin addresses? Would ones bitcoin addresses be known to the clam network? I guess at least one should not do a big transaction sending all clams from all bitcoin addresses to a certain address. Then all these bitcoin addresses are known to belong to the same person.

Besides... are there more coins of that type where you only would need to check if you got some of these coins on your bitcoin wallet addresses? Sounds like one easily could find some coins and sell them on an exchange if true.

Thanks!

Im puzzled why someone is moving all threads from bitcoin discussion, that speak about the coming fork, to altcoin discussion. Im not sure why anyone would think it has to do with altcoin at all. Its all "Bitcoin" that these threads are about.

I hope no siding is involved, things like that should stay in the proper subforum where it can be discussed. Pushing it to altcoin discussion subforum means that its misplaced and most probably wont be seen very often by forum members that are interested in the topic.

I let me notify about new posts in certain subforums about the rss feed. I do so because the normal notification of the board doesnt work.

Though i would like to know if there is a way to receive more signs per new post. Its too often that i have to load the actual page in order to get an idea about what a thread is about. I would like if i can see this more often instantly.

Can this be done with a Feed setting or in Thunderbird itself?

Thanks!

I get this error so often now that its not funny anymore. Its way more than before the hack happened.

I guess its not only me that get this error since its a server error.

When it appears then it takes a couple of seconds and in that timeframe you can reload as often as you want, the page wont load. After its gone it will work again for some time. Minutes or even only seconds.

So is this some script running on the server that is overloading the server? What can be done to change this?

I have a question about okcoin and their order system.

I had created a long position at 216.53. Order filled. Then i created a trigger order close long 216.28 trigger price and 215 order price. After that a close long limit order at 217.25.

Both orders existed so i was sure they are valid and that, if one order fills, the other gets invalid because there arent enough contracts for it to be filled otherwise. Since they both were close longs.

It ended the way that the price fell hard and i made a market sell (didnt know it was a trap). The trigger order did not trigger, even though it was live and now it was got cancelled with "ordered failed" and im not sure what happened with the limit order. It shows cancelled.

So what happened? Why do the two orders exist together but only one of them gets eventually filled? I mean that isnt margin trading where you could end up buying shorts when both orders fill. So it would be normal that more than one order for the same contracts can exist. They would simply be cancelled if impossible to fill. And since they both stayed live i had to assume that they both are valid. But for some reason only the limit order was active and the trigger order did no trigger at all.

What went wrong? The support claims my error was to create the limit order. But both orders stayed there at the same time. So i had no reason to believe they arent active.

I think thats confusing and prone to errors and complaints. I only wanted to secure my position without having to watch it all the time. The way it looks now it seems i cant do this at okcoin.

Is there a Bitcoin Block Explorer that can show the income to an address in €-Value of the time of receiving? Blockchain.info does provide this though they show many useless informations too, like all the other addresses that received coins too. And you cant filter by time.

Ideally it would show the time and date of receiving, the value in Euro, and no other informations like other addresses receiving in the same transaction. And only a certain timeframe.

Anything like that?

Question is in title. I search a way to contact him because it seems he doesnt react to both email and pm.

Whats up with him? Anyone knows him or can reach out to him?

Thanks!
