Bitcointalk Account price estimator

[Jeremycoin]

So we have to wait for the queue? I thought it'll automatically estimate my account price.

[RustyNomad]

I've given up, been static for the past 3 odd hours.

Will try it again in next week.

It looks like that I have some problems with the queue. I'm going write a quick fix that makes the wait time to be 10 minutes instead of 5. I will also have to restart the server which will also clear the queue. I will edit this post when I go to restart it.

I will be restarting the server now. The queue will be cleared and the wait time has been increased to be 10 minutes between requests.

I will be working on another fix that will require a payment for the 3rd or above request in an hour. E.g. after 3 requests, the next request will require a payment (as long as it is requested within an hour of the first.)

Working thanks....

Received my details within seconds.

Just one question - Why is the estimated activity lower than the current activity? I expected this to be higher as I've been posting quite a bit over the past week.

Not sure, must be a bug. I will check it out.

Thanks. Your site is working. Gave me not a bad estimate for my account. 

I have a suggestion. It would be nice if your estimator can show the username and simple info of the account after entering the uid. Then users click a button to start the calculation. If someone enter the wrong uid, they might have to wait a long time before they know it, wasting time querying the forum database again.

very useful tool, thanks what is the max price for one account?
like a legendary from 2010?  i think a lot

[BTC_ISTANBUL]

The price for an account is calculated with a formula.The question is ,'is there anyone willing to buy an account?'.The price must dynamically change with the profit obtained from advertisement campaigns.However, the profit from advertisement campaigns is related to many parameters including world economic outlook, BTC price, etc.
Lets say, an account has been valued for 1 BTC by the program.However, 'bitcointalk.org' banned advertisement at the site, for me the value will decrease to 0 immediately.
The price must also be related to income not only the posts etc.Although I am new at the site I have been observing members like Dogie, Tamatocage.They are very experienced and reliable.Having these charachteristics they are making money.I really admire them.I hope one day I would be at their situation.This will take time.

this price estimator can't guarantee if you want to sell your account

Of course it can't. That's why it's called a Bitcointalk account price estimator, not guarantee.

When I use my userID into the estimator I got this:

User Id: 15713
Name: brunoshady
Posts: 252
Activity: 182
Potential Activity: 168
Post Quality: Poor
Trust: Negative, Red Trust
Estimated Price: 0.01919531

Why is my potential activity 168 while my actual activity is 182?

[altsheets]

Interesting project.

Have you thought about ways to gauge your numbers with actual empirical data?


But my personal result:

Code:

User Id: 413122
Name: altsheets
Posts: 378
Activity: 182
Potential Activity: 182
Post Quality: Good
Trust: Neutral
Estimated Price: 0.13991250

No way I would sell myself for 40 bucks ;-)


tiny suggestions:
* 0.13991250 btc   instead of 0.13991250
* translate to usd & euro & yuan
* Date registered, ages in days
* Last active
* newbie / hero / ... / half-god


No time to look into your code.  Are you actually also parsing all my posts pages?
If yes: ... then you could extract all the links from the header of each post e.g.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1147294.msg12086244#msg12086244
and extract all the "topic=1147294" parts, adding them all to a list.
When making that list unique, the length will give you
in how many different threads I have been posting.

len(  list(set(  topicsList   )  )  )


-> easy to distinguish different "types" of users

Not sure how to relate that to a price, but it would be a cool extra info.

That seems to be a bug. I am trying to fix the biu but I don't have the time right now and it is a little hard to find. I'm working on it.

Thanks. I will take your suggestion and see if i can include it into the next version.

I will take some of your suggestions and include the BTC unit as well as some other account info. I won't have the firat conversion though.

It does go through all of the show posts pages but what would that really accomplish?

[GotaPauj]

Congratulation for the website (or bot?), i have read the code on githup seems good and a bit complicated for me. Btw Estimated Price: 0.05250000 for me

[DaddyMonsi]

nice to see the site appraised my account at 0.07BTC with post quality of Excellent
but I guess no one will buy a Member account at that price

Awh..My account is only worth about $29 dollars

[RustyNomad]

I see that the potential activity is still coming out lower than the actual activity.

From my understanding of the activity calculation it should increase with 14 every 14 days (depending on the number of posts you did) so the potential activity in my case should show 266.

Not a big issue,just thought I'll mention it.

Code:

User Id: 373054

Potential Activity: 238

Trust: Neutral
Estimated Price: 0.19293750

Only worth about $44 

[everaja]

How come potential Activity can be less than your Present activity(Pot Activity< Present Activity)?
I believe that it should be less Greater or equal to Current activity.
I guess there is some glitch with the Algorithm.

Code:

When I put in UID 37522, it's taking so long to load it..

There are so many People using OP's site and the script is Pinging to Bitcointalk.org server so many times in an Hour , so OP's has created a method to wait between each user Request so that he could not get a Auto IP ban from Bitcoin talk server.

knightdk I guess I am correct !
