[achow101]

Can't connect to the website 
Awesome website tho

is website maintenance ? or down for a while ?

Theymos recently implemented a new DDoS protection system which appears to be blocking the crawler that the site uses to pull data from Bitcointalk. This appears to have caused the server to crash or error. Unfortunately there is no way around this system and I may just leave the site down indefinitely.

If the website is generating enough traffic then I guess you could ask theymos to whitelist the IP address from where you're sending the requests.

Website still down sad i cant calculate my potential rank anyways take your time to fix this problem. Omega is right you sshould whitelist the ip.

Yeah still trying to work out my potential, other sites dont work anymore.

What happen? Website is still down until now. Is it only me because i have slow internet or everyone also can't access the website. I'm trying to find an alternative website like this but unfortunately i cant find. What are you using aside from this?

There is no other service, you have to download the code and run the site yourself if thats even possible. Not sure.

does anyone have a cloned site that works for the estimator?

No on will have a cloned site as at the moment Bitcontalk.org is blocking bots from accessing the information needed which means this piece of code will not work until that's either whitelisted for this site or whitelisted globally.

Forgive my lack of intelligence if I may sound stupid but you can always programmatically browse a website just like you would do with an actual user and bitcontalk wouldn't see it as a spam bot unless you're opening multiple threads/spamming.

You can follow the OP's github page and run a local clone yourself.Best of luck with that though.

If you want a private kind of "Bitcointalk Account Price Estimator" website to use with your few accounts, you should probably be fine. You will probably only get marked as a "spam bot" if you have tons of users constantly making requests to check their accounts.

Maybe theymos has intentionally blacklisted such bots to put a hold on account trading?
People are farming accounts and this forum is turning into a spammers hub.
I won't be surprised if this turns out to be true.

When did that happen ? I could still be using a  bot with time intervals which can act like a human is accessing the website.Anyway that would make the users wait for too long which is not quite feasible.Like theymos said earlier today he did this to prevent DDOs attacks which should be good.

Has nothing to do with account trading.People still trade accounts.

I cloned the code, you can find it here - https://github.com/achow101/BitcointalkAccountPricer
However, it the cloned version stopped working as well (it had worked for me in the past).
So that means the the forum has somehow blocked access for it entirely. Too bad, it was a very nice tool.

Certainly not, more due to the easing website functioning,
we are constantly dealing with difficulties accessing website for a large number of browsing people.

[Putera]

i cant acces the web

[levuto]

I think the site offers a great deal of people who sell accounts, so its useful. But I just used it right now and it states im 11th in que.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

site seems to be offline at the moment, i would have love to know how much BTC my account is worth right now even though i dont intend selling ever, cus ive truly made some good amount of money in airdrops through this account and i hope it will keep coming , so hopefully, i can make up to or more than 1 btc in the near future through my account, i can consider selling my account if anyone is willing to pay up to 5 BTC which i know is not possible right now , maybe possible in the future lol
