Wow, after all those years, I never new this was possible
Thanks for this, it will come in handy, especially for data dumps that show usernames instead of userIDs!

Keep in mind that this one does not work with changed nicknames. You'll get error like trying to test mine:

Also i could have been the 14294th user. That was the date and time i had posted in some tech forum about bitcoin.
Should have joined this forum that day

Interesting. I’m about few years not be here. a lot has changed, but not LoyceV as he worked for the benefit of the community and continues this noble cause.  Glad to see you. Should be anything changed in the list after my post?

It does however, link to the new username's profile if you put in their old username. I guess, if the user changed their username for privacy reasons, could potentially be an issue. Although, there's other ways to find that out, so probably not that critical.

Yeah, not something I even considered trying. Good to know for the future, though.

Is it possible to obtain a list of users, including the registration date?

It's possible, but I don't have it. BPIP shows it, so maybe @suchmoon or @ibminer can give you a database dump for this?
Alternatively, you could just check one in every 1000 profiles, that should give you a pretty good estimate of the other registration dates. Scraping all profiles (3.5 million) just for this would take 6 weeks and seems like a waste of forum bandwidth.

I understand. Thanks for the feedback.

For the intended purpose, it would only make sense to have the dates right, at least from the oldest members.
I'll try to see with @suchmoon or @ibminer if they can help.

What happened to userID 3604953? This one was skipped, which made my scraper think it's not in use so it was stuck for a week.
It's working again, but I'm curious what caused this.

What happened to userID 3604953?~

I discovered this same ID looping on BPIP's parsers around the 22nd of January, which I had to skip, to keep the parsers going. I didn't realize it was effecting others though, we saw it more as a bug on our end, which we've been monitoring.

LoyceV a question: I wanted to ask you something, is the code you are using to scrape free? I wanted to take a look maybe
thankz

[LoyceV]

is the code you are using to scrape free? I wanted to take a look maybe

I use free open source tools, but my code is not public. Basically, I download the latest user profile, and check if it exists. If it exists, I'll go to the next one. If it doesn't exist, I'll wait a few hours and try again. That's it. So if the forum somehow skips one userID, my script doesn't reach the next one until I intervene.

I keep getting emails from people for a "responsible disclosure", telling me everyone can see usernames when they Google "intitle:"index of" “/usernames". Lol
I've now added an info.txt file pointing at this topic.

Hey Loyce.

I want use it for testing some small project for bitcointalk.
