A song about the largest & longest running thread on Bitcointalk, the Wall Observer.  I've been working on this one for a while, and it admittedly got longer than I wanted, but I hoped to get as many names as I could in there. No offense to anyone I may have missed, there was only so much room, and I didn't want it to just be a song of names, I wanted to try and tell a story. But, even at the expense of dragging the song on, I still forced a lot of lyrics in here to try and accommodate. Hopefully I got the pronunciation correct on them all!  Notes: * The lyrics all come from respect and for acknowledgement, but I also tried to keep things fun, so hopefully no WOers were harmed in the making of this song.  ** Also added additional AI imagery throughout this lyric video. Enjoy!  https://youtu.be/4dAWLd6YxgcLyrics: Back when Adam built the thread, the order books on display,
Bids stacked deep and asks stacked high, everybody had their say.
Price would rip, price would dip, knives were falling every day,
Some said fifty was the top, others yelled... "BUY ANYWAY!"
Years rolled on, infofront kept the old machine alive,
Through the crashes, bubbles, panic - somehow we would still survive.
ChartBuddy in the corner, never bothered with debate,
While the bulls predict a moonshot and the bears predict our fate.
Drops another quiet chart while everybody starts to fight,
Then the Wall spends twenty pages on a wick from Tuesday night.
Newbies sell the bottom, old hands barely even blink,
One guy drops a thesis, three guys answer with a link.
Price goes down "Manipulation!" Price goes up "We knew it all!"
Price goes flat for half a day, we find a meme and watch the Wall.
We watch the Wall, watch the Wall,
Pump it high, then watch it fall.
Ramen nights and moonshot calls,
Same old crew, we seen it all.
Stiff Stifler starts pumpin', now the green bars growing taller,
Bears were talking heavy - now they're sounding somehow smaller.
Morning doom, by afternoon they're posting rockets in the thread,
Funny how a single candle turns the panic on its head.
Green dildo on the chart, now the bears are nowhere seen,
Yesterday "Bitcoin's dead," today they're leading Team Green.
Ramen boiling on the stove when every balance takes a hit,
Salt-packet fine cuisine - Michelin would probably call it shit.
Market starts to pump, lobster, steak, a proper feast,
Two hours later candles dump - ramen's back, to say the least.
JayJuanGee says "short reply," everybody knows what's next,
Scroll until your finger hurts through seventeen layers of text.
Quote a quote inside a quote, add a valid point to show,
By the time you reach the ending, Bitcoin moved a day ago.
Homer sees the numbers climbing, time to craft another hat,
Every milestone gets a brim - you know he's got a hat for that.
When Vegeta crossed nine thousand, thought he'd finally earned some rest,
Bitcoin added one more digit just to put him to the test.
We watch the Wall, watch the Wall,
Pump it high, then watch it fall.
Ramen nights and moonshot calls,
Same old crew, we seen it all.
El Duderino rolls on through while everybody loses cool,
Calm enough to make the panic look completely like a fool.
BobLawblaw can drop one line and send the whole damn thread off track,
Twenty memes and six pages later, good luck finding your way back.
cAPSLOCK joins the chatter, vapourminer brings the noise,
Philip's watching numbers while the rest are playing with their toys.
Someone says, "Last chance below..." then picks a number for the call,
Three months later quotes himself like he predicted anything at all.
Nails one lucky target, now he's prophet of the year,
Misses twenty others - somehow those just disappear.
All-time high hits, thread explodes, old usernames reappear,
Accounts asleep for seven years are suddenly all here.
"Gentlemen!" gets posted like a bell that marks the show,
Half the Wall is celebrating, half says, "Plenty left to go."
Every bull can draw a rainbow, every bear predicts the slide,
Move the scale and shift the line, each chart can prove your side.
Then Bitcoin does whatever, blows predictions into smoke,
And the Wall responds exactly right... by posting one more joke.
Biodom digs through old cycles, tracing patterns through the years,
Hueristic buys the blood when red candles feed the fears.
Toxic2040 drops another Wall report,
Checks charts, tracks volume, shows what markets have in store.
OutOfMemory marks the levels, watching through the night,
Staring at stars and charts, keeping both of them in sight.
AlcoHoDL keeps on holding, red or green, his grip stays tight,
fillippone counts the stats and gets the numbers right.
Monthly figures all in line, tracking where the story goes,
Looking back through years gone by, watching how history flows.
We watch the Wall, watch the Wall,
Pump it high, then watch it fall.
Ramen nights and moonshot calls,
Same old crew, we seen it all.
Rusty pipes and ancient memes,
Laser eyes and moonshot dreams.
Honey badger doesn't care,
Pumps and crashes still right there.
FUD rolls in, then FUD is gone,
Chart Buddy quietly carries on.
Last of the V8s, old-school voice, left his mark across the Wall,
"Be a bank" beneath his name, dry one-liners through it all.
LFC with diamond hands, scans the headlines, holds his stack,
Waits through all the macro noise for green candles to attack.
HairyMaclairy, mostly long, bull hat tilted high,
Bitcoin monotheist, ride the train into the sky.
JimboToronto warms the chopper up for flight,
Keeps the keys in cold storage, tucked away and locked up tight.
Torque pulls the macro thread,
Rates, the Fed, and money flow,
Ties it back to Bitcoin when the market slows.
Price was only half of why the Wall became the spot,
People came to watch the charts, stayed for memes and talked a lot.
Hats and charts and walls of text, the trolls that wandered through the fray,
Ramen bowls and Stifler pumps that somehow never fade away.
Old hands tell them, "Zoom it out," pretend they haven't checked the price,
Then refresh it fourteen times and give the same exact advice.
Market up, market down, after years, we've seen it all,
Same fear, same greed, same arguments, still we watch the Wall.
We watch the Wall, watch the Wall,
Pump it high, then watch it fall.
Ramen nights and moonshot calls,
Same old crew, we seen it all.
Watch the Wall, watch the Wall,
Green or red, we ride it all.
Bears get loud, then Stifler calls...
Start the pump and shake the Wall.

This song was inspired by LoyceV himself, in a message a little while back when he mentioned the "Peaches" song by Bowser.  https://youtu.be/S39y2YGP7HELyrics: Threads after midnight glow on my screen.
Scrolling back farther... than I wanted.
Deleted posts vanish, or so I believed.
But every old sentence is waiting for me.
I changed the wording, I moved things around.
But somehow the old one can still be found.
I refresh one more time, and there it will be,
Another archive link... from LoyceV.
LoyceV
Why do you log everything?
LoyceV
Why does every record stay?
LoyceV
I can edit, rearrange, make the wording look brand-new.
But the version I was hiding still comes right back into view.
LoyceV
Why do you log everything?
Trust lists stay quiet, flags make no sound.
Just calm archives threaded all out.
No grand accusation, no victory speech.
Just dates and old links still sitting in reach.
No decree, just clear proof by LoyceV
I know what I wrote, I know what they see.
Still I refresh it like the page might agree.
LoyceV
Why do you log everything?
LoyceV
Why does every record stay?
LoyceV
I can edit, rearrange, make the wording look brand-new.
But the version I was hiding still comes right back into view.
LoyceV
Why do you log everything?
Nobody made me type those lines. Nobody told me to pretend.
The log just shows what I decide.
Yet here I am, surprised again.
Maybe this time, I'll leave it alone..
...No. One more post, then I'm gone.
LoyceV
There it is, the timeline log.
LoyceV
Every link, every date.
LoyceV
Every claim stands or it falls.
And every time I think I've changed it all.
The archive sits there like nothing changed at all.
LoyceV
Every word, still there to find
I could stop handing you new things to find.
But somehow that answer never crosses my mind.
LoyceV
Why do you log everything?
LoyceV
Why does every record stay?
LoyceV
I can edit, rearrange, but it never goes away.
LoyceV
Why do you log everything?

Gooooood mooorning Bitcointalk! After my hit single  , Scroll Back, I had mentioned an extended version I was working on. I got a little sidetracked with " Open the pages", which I just had an urge to create (unrelated to Bitcoin/Bitcointalk), but I have now finished 2 extended versions of Scroll Back. I started with the punk rock cut, but then felt like blues/folk rock would be an interesting way to tell the story, plus I'm a sucker for harmonicas. (thanks to John Popper!) There is so much history with Bitcoin and Bitcointalk, that it was still hard to get everything I wanted in here... but I tried to fit as much as I could without making the song drag on too much, and I think I captured quite a bit. The lyrics shift a bit between these versions, to fit better with each genre, but the story is essentially the same. Hope you all enjoy. Scroll Back - Extended - Punk Rock

Lyrics:
Scroll back.
Check the thread.
Bitcointalk remembers.
Mailing list, crypto crowd,
Whitepaper posted, small but loud,
Peer to peer, no bank gates,
Code and consensus led the way.
Early threads asked how this works,
Game theory, risks, incentives, quirks,
Questions fired, answers weighed,
Ideas sharpened, not delayed.
Satoshi spoke, replied in kind,
Stepped back, left code behind,
No leader push, no final say,
Just open talk that found its way.
Scroll back.
Check the thread.
Bitcointalk remembers.
Check the thread.
Home mining, laptops hum,
Blocks kept coming, one by one,
Pizza bought, 10K spent,
Use came first - not profit.
Graphics cards, custom rigs,
ASIC miners growing big,
Infrastructure built in posts,
Lessons learned from wins and ghosts.
Mt. Gox rises. Mt. Gox falls.
Not the first time. Not the last.
Hard lessons came to pass.
Not your keys, not your coins.
Trust was built deal by deal,
Escrow threads made risk feel real,
Reputation earned, not claimed,
Names remembered, trades explained.
ICOs burst in flames,
Same old code with different names,
Some stayed true, most played games,
Hype burned out, then exits came.
Long posts mattered, depth survived,
Claims questioned, then verified,
Posts got edited over time,
Quotes and archives held the line.
Context formed from back and forth,
Not one quote pulled out of course,
Meaning lived in full replies,
Debates laid out side by side.
Scroll back.
Check the thread.
Bitcointalk remembers.
Check the thread. Check the thread.
Bitcointalk remembers. Check the thread.
Scaling fights, endless pages,
Years of words on public stages,
Big blocks pushed, small blocks held,
Tradeoffs argued, tempers swelled.
Hostile forks pushed into fame,
Different camps all fought to gain,
FUD and lawsuits framed the fight,
Faketoshi stepped into light.
SegWit locked after strain,
Rough consensus held the chain,
No clean path and nothing fast,
Just systems built to last.
Years went by, new tools appeared,
Patterns mapped from forum years,
Search the past and check what’s true,
Archived words still leave their proof.
BPIP tracked the names and dates,
Trust and history carried weight,
LoyceV kept vanished posts,
Snapshots saved what mattered most.
Ninjastic searched the forum’s trail,
BitList helped preserve the tale,
Edits fade but traces stay,
Old receipts still light the way.
Now it’s bigger, now it’s loud,
More attention, thicker crowd,
Paid forum ads flood replies,
Post counts rise, signal slides.
Good posts still cut right through,
Just takes work to find what’s true.
Same old forum on a larger scale,
But the core ideas... still prevail.
Check the thread. Check the thread.
Bitcointalk remembers.

Lyrics:
Late night glow from a laptop screen,
Names and numbers few had seen,
A quiet post would change the game,
Nothing in the world the same.
Mailing list, crypto crowd,
Whitepaper dropped, small but loud,
Peer to peer, no bank gates,
Code and consensus set the pace.
Satoshi spoke, replied in posts,
Then disappeared like early ghosts,
No central voice to steer the way,
Just open threads from day to day.
Home mining, laptops hum,
Blocks kept coming one by one,
Pizza bought, 10K spent,
Use came first — not profit.
Graphics cards and custom rigs,
ASIC miners growing big,
Infrastructure built in posts,
Lessons learned from wins and ghosts.
Mount Gox rising,
everybody thought it would last.
Mount Gox falling,
it collapsed so fast.
Coins frozen on the screen.
A hard lesson inbetween.
Not your keys… Not your coins.
No keys… No coins!
Scroll back,
Check the thread,
Bitcointalk remembers
All that we said.
All that we said, All that we said.
Deals were made in forum threads,
Trust was built on what was said,
Names gained weight as time went on,
Reputation carried on.
ICO fever filled the sky,
Promises soared then drifted by,
Fortunes chased in paper gold,
Empty hands when truth was told.
Bitcoin held while markets rolled,
Forum threads still carried gold.
While the market rose and fell,
New divisions rose as well,
Arguments filled the endless threads,
Long nights lost inside our heads.
Big blocks pushed, small blocks held,
Lines were drawn as tempers swelled.
Forks declared what truth should be,
Different visions fought to lead,
FUD and courts would shape the fight,
Faketoshi claims stepped into light.
SegWit locked, the storm passed by,
Years of tension drifting by,
Not a win and not defeat,
Just the chain back on its feet.
Scroll back,
Check the thread,
Bitcointalk remembers
All that we said.
All that we said, all that we said.
Scaling scars still lingered on,
New debates kept pressing on,
Through the years the words remained,
Lessons learned and trust regained.
Tools emerged as years went by,
Patterns formed beneath the eye,
Archives grew as time went by,
Helping users check what’s right,
BPIP and LoyceV came through,
Ninjastic Space, Bit List too.
Now the crowd is loud and wide,
Signal buried by the tide,
Paid posts filling up replies,
Truth gets harder to recognize.
If you read between the lines,
Truth still echoes through the times.
Same old forum, just a wider scale.
But the core ideas…
Still prevail.

UPDATE: Extended version(s) have been released, let me know what you think. 
Hello Bitcointalk! I had some time during the holiday break to try something I've wanted to do for a while now, so I gave it a shot. Scroll Back - https://youtu.be/Q71fnx86Sq8 I couldn't fit as much content as I wanted into these lyrics, in order to keep the track catchy and not too long, but I'm working on a different extended version that will be performed in a faster style, probably with an industrial/punk vibe. I also have a few more tracks I'm working on currently, all with various aspects and themes related to Bitcoin and the forum itself. I've thought about having tracks related to collectibles, the wall observer, moderators, scammers, alts, local sections, etc... hopefully leading to a full album of 7-10 songs, with mixed genres, which touch on multiple aspects of the forum. Also thought it would be fun to share an earlier boom bap/hip hop version of Scroll Back, similar concept, with some modified lyrics: https://youtu.be/kaIKKF52sRwThoughts? Ideas on a theme for any new tracks? Feel free to share! |

** SALE ENDED APRIL 20, 2025 - one year after the halving! **I intend to continue generating updated user-based decks, under a new design, for each halving.
Any ideas or suggestions are welcome, feel free to reach out to me!
Hello everyone! : ) I've designed a deck of standard poker size playing cards to commemorate the halvening/halving event, and various Bitcointalk users. The design utilizes a card generator I've been working on to overlay a few basic BPIP/forum stats, as well as provides an AI generated image for each user. The prompts for the AI images are based on the top 10 nouns found in posts BPIP has parsed for a particular user, amongst some other keywords related to styling the AI image. Big thanks to theymos for the suggestion on using the top nouns of a user for the prompt. While it added some additional development work, I don't think the imagery I was generating before would have been as interesting. 2024 Halvening DeckEach deck consists of 52 users who are assigned to cards based on their merit, activity, trust, or recognition scores. Stats for all users involved were refreshed and pulled from BPIP's DB on the day of halving (4/20). Some details:QR codes: One goes to the Bitcointalk profile page of the user, one goes to the BPIP profile page for the user. Backs: Image shows a larger brick wall splitting open to a new [slightly smaller] brick wall. 3 extra cards in deck:-A card that lists the date of halving & general Bitcoin market info. on the day of halving. -A card explaining what "MATR" represents. - Joker: For this sort of deck, I didn't want to put up a specific user or person here as a joker (although I had some thoughts! lol). The joker card shows a person who has doubted Bitcoin in the past (i.e. a joker ), whom has just realized the power of Bitcoin after seeing something on their phone.    More pics of my printed sample deck for the Halvening 2024.https://imgur.com/a/xoMYFfaNote: This printed sample does not represent the set of users being sold, each deck below has a different lineup of users, with digital samples to view in the "Deck Choices" below.Tuck Box:   2024 Halvening - Deck Choices: | Description_________________________________ | Deck ID______ | _____________ | | Top 52 Most Merit Users, all time. | MM-TOP52 | Digital sample | | Top 52 Most Activity Users, all time. | MA-TOP52 | Digital sample | | Top 52 Most Trust Users, all time. | MT-TOP52 | Digital sample | | Top 52 Most Recognized Users, all time. | MR-TOP52 | Digital sample | | __________________________________________ | ____________ | _____________ | | Top 52 Most Merit, users registered between 2009-2011. | MM-09-11 | Digital sample | | Top 52 Most Merit, users registered between 2012-2013. | MM-12-13 | Digital sample | | Top 52 Most Merit, users registered between 2014-2015. | MM-14-15 | Digital sample | | Top 52 Most Merit, users registered between 2016-2017. | MM-16-17 | Digital sample | | Top 52 Most Merit, users registered between 2018-2019. | MM-18-19 | Digital sample | | Top 52 Most Merit, users registered between 2020-2021. | MM-20-21 | Digital sample | | Top 52 Most Merit, users registered between 2022-2024. | MM-22-24 | Digital sample | | __________________________________________ | ____________ | _____________ | | Top 52 Most Merit, users registered between 2009-2013. | MM-09-13 | Digital sample | | Top 52 Most Merit, users registered between 2014-2018. | MM-14-18 | Digital sample | | Top 52 Most Merit, users registered between 2019-2024. | MM-19-24 | Digital sample |

Humans been controlled since the day that they was civilized, the truth has been so heavily politicized If you don't know who's controlling you and killing all the little guys, find out who you're not allowed to criticize Black folks who were never ever actual slaves, fighting with white folks who ain't actual Nazis Controlled by rich folks who use the news to make hate, while elite folks control all the political parties It's a big lie, tryna make you pick sides, tryna make you burn the cities down and kill each other - they got sick minds Big lies, defund the police so that there's big crime, then take away our freedom to restore order they let die Play with people, turn men into women, make the counterculture mainstream to mix up the system Change the pronouns, if gender is a spectrum, so is privilege, I know poor white folks and black celebrities with millions They starve you with a lack of information, and only give you facts through a branded corporation Distort your worldview with an algorithm that changes, based on propaganda curated for your engagement ~~ We can't be free, can't have no peace till we're on the same team But y'all are sheep -- glued to screens -- just part of the machine Y'all are sheeple -- what do y'all believe? To all my sheeple -- nothing's what it seems ~~ Hollywood been rotting your brain, controlling your mouth, you say "Lit", "Fleek", "Bet", "Cap" -- they tryna dumb you down They endorse whatever narrative is popular to shout and use minorities in movies for diversity clout Two sides on the spectrum, but ain't none of 'em honest, took the red pill and the blue pill, spit 'em both in the garbage Being woke used to mean you understood you're a target and now it's having two good legs and never taking a step forward If you agree, it's free speech, disagree, it's hate speech - erase it if it came from anywhere except the mainstream Trump supporters labeled as the racists, but that can't be, Lincoln was Republican, and that's who ended slavery Science been politicized, it's easy to see - a mask became a symbol of which side you believe But you'll never cure a sickness till you cure all the greed, because the problem with our natural immunity is it's free Society is broke and want you locked inside a cubicle, addicted to pornography, liquor, and pharmaceuticals Tell you that you're fat and poor and you were never beautiful, then tweet how much they love you when they hear about your funeral ~~ We can't be free, can't have no peace till we're on the same team But y'all are sheep -- glued to screens -- just part of the machine Y'all are sheeple -- what do y'all believe? To all my sheeple -- nothing's what it seems ~~ If they can't convince you, they confuse you, they want you dumb or dead, they divided you by race, religion, income, and sex Made everybody right or left, the hatred got so intense, if the other side likes oxygen, you'll put a bag on your head And the conspiracy theories labeled as misinformation, it's just the terrifying truth that scares the hell out the nation The system treating you like trash, and you got rifles to aim with, just imagine how they'll treat you when your guns get confiscated George Orwell, 1984 was his last lecture, George called 'em thought police, now we call 'em fact-checkers Government surveillance tryna catch you, they don't ask questions, mass incarceration equals capital for cash investments The system isn't broke, it's working fine, oppressive and chaotic is how it was designed They say if we ain't doing nothing wrong, there's nothing to hide, while their agenda and intelligence is completely classified They don't teach you rights in school, you never learned 'em at all, 'cause they're easy to remove if you don't know what they are The only people you can rule are the criminal ones, so they force you into corners till you're breaking the law ~~ We can't be free, can't have no peace till we're on the same team But y'all are sheep -- glued to screens -- just part of the machine Y'all are sheeple -- what do y'all believe? To all my sheeple -- nothing's what it seems ~~ Reference: Tom MacDonald - Sheeple |

It appears the "strategy" from NATO & US's actions are going to be allowing Russia to walk in and take over Ukraine / the government, through force, and then will start negotiating to protect the NATO countries around them..? Why in the hell are the citizens of the Ukraine being sacrificed while we freeze some bank accounts? Do we really think Putin cares about the sanctions right now..? Maybe he cares about them in a month from now, but by then how many innocent people would have died? How much destruction will be caused? How much momentum will a mad man gain by such a minimal response to an invasion?.. is a precedent being set? How different will (worse) could this situation be in 1 month? When Biden was asked today by a reporter: "You're confident that these "devastating" sanctions are going to be as devastating as Russian missiles, bullets & tanks?" Biden: "Yyes, Russian bullets, missiles, and tanks in Ukraine. Yes, I am."  We aren't even using the full force and capability of the sanctions.. Biden wouldn't answer when asked why he won't sanction Putin today. He did however respond to: Reporter: "Respectfully, Sir.. what more are you waiting for?" (relating to SWIFT/Putin not sanctioned) Biden: "The sanctions we imposed exceed SWIFT.".... "Let's have another conversation in a month or so and see how they've worked out" I'm disappointed. I feel very bad for the citizens of Ukraine and the soldiers of Russia, and it's truly sad to think how many lives are already lost, and how many future one's are at stake. God speed. |

As I casually alluded to here, a beta version of BPIP's card generator is coming, but is currently waiting for a new server to hopefully deal with some of the performance/resource issues the current server infrastructure creates. As it stands now, it generates 7 different card designs (with a bleed), and with or without playing card symbols. I tried to mix them up as much as I could, while still providing a general template which the stats had to land on, in the same spot across each design. It displays various BPIP stats on the card, avatar, title, name, etc. (obviously, you can see the examples below). Designs are based on the BPIP website themes. The general idea here is that the designs are generated at a high enough resolution and proper dimensions to produce a physical card, or full deck. I haven't attempted getting any produced yet. I'm kinda curious myself what they will look like as physical cards. Anyhow, there are potentially more plans with these cards after the beta release. A decent thread/poll was started here by Welsh, but I am curious if people are [still] interested. .. which brings us to the poll question: Is it worth it for the BPIP team (a.k.a ibminer & suchmoon ) to devote any future development efforts towards this project? Admittedly, there are other planned features and implementations for BPIP on the TODO list which would be seen as a higher priority than playing / trading cards. However, the discussions for this project started a long time ago, and I began work on it not long after. It is something a lot of accumulated time & effort has been put into. Note: I've only included two full resolution samples below (at the bottom), and everything is currently watermarked. Stats are slightly old, I generated these cards a ~week ago. You'll notice the cards currently generate a hash based on the stats displayed.. with the intent to make it verifiable via a QR code or something along those lines (..one possible future development). EDIT 2/1/22: UPDATED designs Thread unlocked. Has it been over a year already??  Thanks again to everyone for the comments & suggestions. It was a long 2021 for me, and I admittedly haven't made as much progress as I'd like with this.. but I wanted to update this thread with the main [updated] designs that will be pursued, and some samples generated. Still no real professional help (sorry, mprep!  ), just the suggestions generated by this thread and many youtube & adobe tutorials, but any comments or suggestions are still welcome. They [eventually] printed out decent enough on my printer, but if all goes as planned, another set will be generated and sent away to be printed hopefully next week to get a better idea of what they look like from a more professional printer. In regards to RPG/CRPG game mechanics, I don't have anything concrete enough to modify the design elements to fit something like this better.. not my forte. Higher resolution (clickable)   Backs: (clickable)  
Samples below are loosely based on the 'most earned merit' list of BPIP, with some extras added in.. these are lower resolution and not in any particular order. Card symbols are not shown, and need a little work on placement.

After taking random suggestions from the audience... this guy ends up doing a freestyle rap about: 🔥 Hindenburg 🔥 🔥 The Doppler Effect 🔥 🔥 Harry Potter Tequila 🔥 🔥 Cyptocurrency and the Yuan 🔥 🔥 Toenails (and Quantum Mechanics)🔥 https://youtu.be/NdTalMWrQ7c?t=133Impressive, and hilarious.. and it includes Bitcoin, Harry Potter, and Quantum Mechanics. Obviously, I had to post this somewhere. |

I forced myself to 'show/hide' a post from one of two people I have on my ignore list. However, when doing this, I couldn't see any of the post... had to completely unignore the user to see it. (And of course quickly re-ignored the user afterwards ) After doing a few searches, I came across this thread reporting a similar issue. The issue seems to stem from the fact that ignored posts are getting set with a static 20px/32px height (with Chrome..) <div class="post" style="overflow: auto; width: 100%; height: 36px; display: none;" id="ignoremessageXXX">This user is currently ignored.</div> <div class="post" style="overflow: auto; width: 100%; height: 20px;" id="message3">...</div> I think this is something Chrome is doing itself because I don't see this static height being set in Firefox. One easy solution would be to just add in "height: auto !important;" under the post {} class in the main CSS file. Outside of that, I think you'd have to adjust the overflow settings of the div itself to have it display correctly. I haven't really researched why Chrome is doing this but I just recently started using Chrome again on this machine and noticed this issue. (disclaimer: I'm currently using latest Chrome on this machine, and haven't tested this on older browsers, I am guessing the 'auto' height would work fine for older browsers though.) |

I did some experimenting with dark themes for Bitcointalk and ended up with the CSS below.. primarily to be an addition to the BPIP extension at some point in the future. But I figured why not release the CSS now? ..in case anyone wants to use it with something like Stylus, or a similar browser-based CSS changing extension. And, of course, if you have any suggestions for improvements/fixes, feel free to share them. I should note: To try and keep the themes 'dark', I toned down the brightness on images... you are not losing your vision or passing out! I've also replaced some of the SMF background images with css-based gradients/styles. And, I've mainly tested these on firefox.

This forum has been around since November of 2009, the merit system was implemented in January of 2018. Initial merit was provided to accounts which existed before the merit system, and merit was provided based on the rank of their account (Legendary, Hero, etc) -- Full information here. I'm curious what everyone thinks. Should older accounts have received initial merit? Did most of them deserve it? Note: When answering, we should hypothetically assume their ranks would have remained (Legendary, Hero, etc) even if they had 0 merit and were never provided initial merit, and that the entire forum would not have been demoted to a newbie status because of the alterations to ranking that the merit system introduced. (i.e. you need merit to get to the next rank) I'm trying to establish whether you believe the majority of users (not *all*) before 2018 actually deserved merit or if the majority of users did not deserve it. There is a good argument that many members who received initial merit deserved it (and maybe even deserved more initial merit), and that these initial merits are meaningful, overall. There is also a good argument that many members who received initial merit did not deserve what they received, or that they didn't deserve any merit at all, and it makes these merits not meaningful, overall. What is your opinion? Try to answer objectively and please explain below. Thank you!

BPIP is now capturing flags! Each profile page now has 3 main new links under the trust section for: active & inactive (insufficient support) flags against the user, and flags created by the user. (The "Flags" text itself is also a 4th link which displays all flags against the user, inactive or active). These links land on the new "flaglog.aspx" page, which can also accept a few parameters/filters. The Flag Log:http://bpip.org/flaglog.aspx?status=&accuser=&accused=&type= UPDATE:Added a new "Report Options" area to provide a GUI way to apply parameters/filters in various combinations.  If no values are specified, it returns the full set of flags. The flag log is currently paginated at 300 results per page. Flag types are color-coded, and active flags are also highlighted in red. The additional parameters/filters which can be added to the URL: - "accused=" or "accuser=" -- both use a username.. not an id.
- "status" -- accepts "inactive" or "active".
- "type" -- accepts 1, 2 or 3.
The Flag ID (and " changes") links on this page will link to a (flag.aspx?id=) page which breaks down the support and opposition on a flag, and also pulls through the DT status/trust color/and some other general profile information. The "flag ID" link shown on this page will link directly to the Bitcointalk flag page. Flag History/ChangesThis is found on the flag.aspx page as well. Every new flag that is created will get 1 entry created in this area, for comparison purposes. Every change after that will follow in this log. The flag log page will only show change counts which have happened after that initial entry. After today, re-parsing of all flags to update and check for changes should happen ~weekly. New flags are checked for every ~10-15 minutes. Hoping to have more column sorting options in the future, but we're not there yet. Disclaimer: This is a obviously a new feature -- there could be some bugs. Let us know if you see any! { BPIP } - { BPIP Project Thread } - { BPIP Extension V2 (beta) } .. Why it's grease lightnin!!

Hello, Bitcointalk! BPIP is back in action, but not fully operational yet! Likely known to most, multiple HP drive firmware failures caused BPIP servers to suffer total unexpected data loss, which took the site offline until backups could be recovered and restored. And, potentially unknown to most, suchmoon joined BPIP's development efforts several months ago, and has been a huge asset and resource. Ultimately, it made more sense to move towards a new internal structure within BPIP, which has resulted in suchmoon and I taking over the development & ownership of BPIP, as equal partners. suchmoon has been generous enough to take over hosting and cover expenses necessary to get the site back online. We both believe BPIP is a project worth developing and keeping alive.. but it does require a large amount of effort & resources to maintain, all which come with a cost. With the new servers & hosting in place, instead of trying to resurrect the old site, we've decided to release the new design & parser which had been under development prior to the drives crashing. Further improvements are still being worked on and additional features which are not quite ready to be released are coming very soon. So, while it is back in action, the site should not be considered live yet, and it could take days-weeks to get things caught up and running efficiently.
So, without further ado.. Some notable design changes.-New header which helps mobile views and reduces the vertical footprint. -5 New theme options, including a new dark silk theme and the bitcointalk throwback theme. -Customizable theme options, including the capability to hide/show the background to help slow/remote connections. -Front-end layout has had an overhaul to correct some glitches, and has moved more into bootstrap world. -Back-end improvements have helped performance overall, and many tweaks & bug fixes have been corrected. -Character encoding should be corrected. Searches and post titles should now support special characters & spaces more consistently (as parsing catches up..) -Avatars are now showing on profile pages, along with DT/banned/inactivity status. -Profile page also supports ID's now (satoshi == https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?id=3) And, I always like to include a few full size unblurred backgrounds.
NOTABLE UPDATES, ANNOUNCEMENTS, ETC.January 16, 2020 :-: Daily/Weekly/Monthly merit awards in full swing & minor bug fixes. January 18, 2020 :-: Search modification, trust color added to DT1/2 strength reports, 2020 added to "most merited" report. January 26, 2020 :-: Merit numbers corrected, duplicates removed, accuracy improved. January 31, 2020 :-: New support page introduced with FAQs. February 8, 2020 :-: NEW Robust DT1 Changes Report, sMerit page link friendly, connecting up with LoyceV's trust viewer & deleted posts.February 10, 2020 :-: V2 - Beta - Firefox & Chrome Extension for BPIPFebruary 16, 2020 :-: New Flag log, tracking changes, and more robust views of flag support and opposition. February 29, 2020 :-: New "Report Options" menu added for smerit.aspx/flaglog.aspx, question marks added to main page, profile page, and new report options menu. July 21, 2020 :-: Moving towards new coding infrastructure on a few pages, new navigational menu, descriptions on reports, additional most earned merit badge & style, minor bug fixes. September 28, 2020 :-: Moved report.aspx to new infrastructure, added past 30/90/150-day merit counts, updated/re-organized flag stats on Profile pages, minor bug fixes. April 11, 2021 :-: Adding /TempBans page, Pagination options added to /TrustLog, Flag participation counts & additional filtering/search options on flag log. And more.. |

I'm looking for " Jr. Member", " Member", and " Full Member" ranked accounts that believe they have quality posts relating to Bitcoin which may deserve merit. I will ignore requests from accounts that consistently post or seek information for bounty programs, ICOs, or altcoins. I am not a merit source and my supply of sMerits is limited. I'm going to try to limit my count to 1 sMerit per quality post but will still merit multiple posts under 1 account if they are decent posts. I'll end this thread when I've run out of sMerits. (I'm trying this thread out in Beginners & Help but may need to move it) You do not need an advanced technical understanding of Bitcoin but the majority of your posts have to be related to Bitcoin in some way and preferably not the same repetitive questions and comments that are always posted and have been done hundreds of times. Want to see if your topic/question has already been discussed?Type this into Google: <here is my question or topic> site:bitcointalk.org examples: "Is mining safe site:bitcointalk.org", "Who accepts Bitcoin site:bitcointalk.org", "How to buy Bitcoin site:bitcointalk.org" Explore the results. For those who have no clue what Merit is: Here is an infographic explaining Activity, Merit, and the new requirements. For those who have no clue what BTC is or do not care about Bitcoin: I'd ask that you find another forum relating to your interests. If you want me to review your posts, reply to this thread and I'll take a look. |
