What is the feasibility of storing the entire forum on some decentralized file system. Ideally it would be bitcoin itself through something like ordinals. But alot of people probably would object to that as a waste of blockspace so what other ways could it be done less expensively.

1) how much disc space does the bitcointalk forum hold in total?
2) how much does it grow per month?
3) how often would you update the forum threads and what software would you use to do it?

We can't expect the forum to stay online forever but there are some nice threads with a ton of information in them and that should be saved somehow for future bitcoiners. I know that some people will have a seriously bad reaction to suggesting the entire forum be stored on bitcoin itself but doesn't it make sense that that's where it belongs? Bitcointalk is the de facto forum for bitcoin everything.

"Hitler" is a German family name. It didn't belong just to Adolf Hitler, many people have that family name. I guess with the tolerance for free spech there is no such rule. Although I see that you are partly right and if someone would nickname himself for example "AdolfHitler" or "Let's kill jews", "Let's kill blacks" and things like that, he should be banned.

LOL

I don't know if there's a rule in place regarding names or I'm just sensitive about this particular name or something.

Yeah ultimately it comes down to just you being sensitive. There is no rule regarding offensive names that I'm aware of.

Of course its a stupid name, but the only thing he's really harming are his chances of anyone taking him seriously. Not that they would anyway with that kind of an advertisement. Looks like a lowbrow scam. His name could have been "SunshineKittens" and he would have gotten the same level of interest.

I was scrolling through the Goods board and saw this topic, got me curious that he's got that name. Didn't know that there were no policies in the forum about names that would be offensive to some people, in the image below is the screenshot of the name of the user. I don't know if there's a rule in place regarding names or I'm just sensitive about this particular name or something.

This unfortunately broke BPIP's parsers, since (Recently) is not a valid datetime. We'll try to get it corrected as soon as possible.
If the parsed value is "(Recently)" you can handle it in some custom way.

Or if the parsed value is not in the expected datatype, you can handle the problem in a particular way. You can do the same for any other input received from any third party.


It seems when other members are probably going on with their life activities, PowerGlove is definitely busy making patches. Once again thank you PowerGlove for this addition.

Too bad he only gets merits, and not tens of thousands of bitcoins.  :/
If you are referring to the bitcoin theymos received years ago, the USD value of that bitcoin was only a few hundred dollars, probably well below the FMV of the time necessary to run the forum plus the operating costs. He happened to keep that money in bitcoin and see massive capital gains.

Anyone else, yourself included could have just as easily bought a few hundred dollars worth of bitcoin at the time, and would have seen similar gains if you held on for all these years.

So if I monitor a profile that was last active more than 3 days ago, and it's status switches to "(Recently)", I know it's became active right at that moment.
They will have been active between the last time you looked at the profile and the current time. Unless you are constantly refreshing their profile, you won't have an exact time.

Also, if profiles are refreshed too frequently, or if what you are describing is being used to pinpoint the date/time of last activity too frequently, the last active date can be cached, so it will only ever update every x amount of time.

I'd like to correct a misconception that I keep bumping into before it becomes too widespread:

While most of the patches I've posted to date were done on a free-time/voluntary basis, theymos and I did recently come to an arrangement, and I am now paid for the work I do on Bitcointalk.
Good for you!

As far as I know, it was mostly completed a few years ago. Soooo... it should be out any day now.  Im sure of it!  Wink
New forum software child board is where we can discuss new ideas to develop and improve the new forum software.

Yes, but I dont really see the point in proposing new features and discussing new ideas if the development of new forum software is currently at a standstill. Its been years since theymos said new software was mostly done so we should have seen some development by now.  I can only assume that the whole idea has been abandoned.

You never can tell, it could be that the proposed ideals for new developments is understand researching in considering how the change can effectively be of good features to the platform.
Remember there had been multiple of these proposals so featuring all of it may compromise the forum system so, It could be that they're currently on technical examinations to find the best that's if there was any though.

Congrats! You deserve it. Some serious brainpower on display in your patches and the forum is lucky to have you here. Kudos to you good ser.

Why would you want to lock a thread that people are enjoying participating in? Would you rather for example that everyone posting their bets in the NBA gambling thread instead make a new thread every day with their bets? Or each person having their own gambling thread they restart after 5 pages? That would be lunacy.

Perhaps he was referring to Mega threads in gambling, 30+ pages of discussions and it seems that everyone is just repeating themselves or trying to post something base on their experiences recently.

But the rule of thumb here is that just report it to the moderator and see if they are going to take action or not.
