[_size=3][_b]LoyceV's useful data on Bitcointalk[/b][/size]...

What's useful here? Forum about bitcoin and blockchain technology, but you suggest studying who gave to whom how much merits. This is bitcointalk.org not watchusertalk.org

Name "LoyceV's useless data on Bitcointalk" would be more appropriate

I have a question about your notification bot but didn't want to ask it in the original thread because it seems quite clean and nobody is asking any questions there.

What could be the reason that the bot would send 3 notifications for the same quoted post?
If you take a look at my notifications here, you can see the the scraped posts by LTU_btc (currently posts 2-4) are all for the same post. However, the formatting (the parts of the post that are getting quoted) of the 3 posts look different. I don't know if what I said will make sense to you.

Asking questions in that topic is okay, I'll just delete them after a while.

the scraped posts by LTU_btc (currently posts 2-4) are all for the same post.

They're different posts:
57069367
57069380
57069389
That means LTU_btc reposted them instead of editing.

To make sure I understand properly. Does that mean he wrote two posts which he later deleted? And finally, he wrote a third one (this one) which is now visible in the thread? The two he deleted also got scrapped by the bot. 

[LoyceV]

Yes.

And finally, he wrote a third one (this one) which is now visible in the thread?

Yes.

The two he deleted also got scrapped by the bot.

I scrape all public posts within a few seconds, so I catch almost everything. Unless they're deleted (by MindlessElectron) within seconds too, in that case I miss some of them.

Friendly bump and reminder 

When one visits LOYCE.CLUB'S user page. On the lower part, there is no link to the Topic on Bitcointalk. No sure which topic you wanted to link there, so I ended up here.



Also, how far with the plans to design the home page? Please don't take too long, like admin and his "new" forum software.

I never created a topic for loyce.club/profile.html?id=1190631, that's why there's no link yet. It was created only for the BPIP Extension

Also, how far with the plans to design the home page?

And that's another reason: my plan was to integrate this into the new design, which hasn't happened yet. I only tested it for addresses.loyce.club/.

Please don't take too long, like admin and his "new" forum software.  

Lol Let's face it: I like data, I don't like design, so I lack the motivation to improve this. I still expect it before the new forum software though, I mean, I can't take that long!

Hi LoyceV!

I use your website almost every other day. But, I didn't know that you also store Block data. I installed Bitcoin core a few months ago and tried to synchronize with the network. But, I run it as pruning. So, it didn't store any blocks on my computer. Later, I decided to run a full node. Recently I started downloading the blocks with Bitcoin core. But, I use a low-speed internet connection (5 Mbps). With this speed, I can download 500 kb per second.



So, this needs a lot of time and patience. I can download only 20GB daily because sometimes my internet drops for more than hours, which can happen a few times a day.

I don't know what it is, But some websites run faster with my connection, such as Youtube and Google, and I can download 1-2 MB per second with this connection from youtube. Recently I subscribed to a VPN that can bypass the download speed limit, and I can download 1-2 MB per second from any website with my android device.

So, I wondered if I could download block data with this speed and move it to my computer's blocks folder. It will save me a lot of time for me. Someone provided this link on another thread http://blockdata.loyce.club/ and said it's possible. Since you have this thread, I thought I would find some information about it. But I didn't find any dedicated threads for it. I need some help with it. When I visit the block data folder, I see another three folders. Inputs/ Outputs/ Transactions/ . But, I see only the index folder on my Bitcoin core Blocks folder. So, I am unsure which file I should download and where to store it. Can you please guide me if possible?

[LoyceV]

I don't know what it is, But some websites run faster with my connection, such as Youtube and Google, and I can download 1-2 MB per second with this connection from youtube.

It sounds like your internet provider doesn't use net neutrality, and gives priority to certain sites (they could be paying them for it).

Recently I subscribed to a VPN that can bypass the download speed limit, and I can download 1-2 MB per second from any website with my android device.

Why don't you run Bitcoin Core through the VPN?

That most likely won't work, data dumps aren't meant to restore Bitcoin Core.

I am unsure which file I should download and where to store it.

There are probably still sites that offer Bitcoin Core "bootstrap" data, but it's not recommended. Even at 20 GB per day, it will only take you 23 days to sync Bitcoin Core. It's long, but you don't need to watch it and it's a one-time thing. Just let it run until it's done

Why don't you run Bitcoin Core through the VPN?

I could not find the Computer version of that VPN (Not available for PC). It's working fine on my Android Mobile.

Do you believe those files can contain ransomware or other viruses? Another guy asks me not to download blocks from the internet. I already downloaded 51% of the blocks, but it took me over a month because I cannot download 20 GB daily. Sometimes 2GB, Sometimes 10GB a day. 20 GB is the max. So, It will take another month. Thanks for the help.

data dumps aren't meant to restore Bitcoin Core.

Then, What is the purpose of it?

Try my favourite: Mullvad.net. You can pay $0.01 (through low-fee altcoin) to get an hour or so access. I can do it for you if you if you want.

Unlikely, but why risk it? Usually it's the block verification that's the bottleneck, not the internet.

So only a month to go What download speed do you get from my blockdata-server? I do have a full Bitcoin Core installation on that server.

Data analysis, such as counting chips.

I am not sure if this VPN could bypass the speed limit of my ISP.

What download speed do you get from my blockdata-server? I do have a full Bitcoin Core installation on that server.

I just tried and I get 1.2 MB per second which is 2x my usual speed.

[LoyceV]

I am not sure if this VPN could bypass the speed limit of my ISP.

That's why I mentioned it: you can find out for just a cent

I just tried and I get 1.2 MB per second which is 2x my usual speed.

I could share it from that server, but to do that, I'd have to turn it off until you're done (that's a waste of bandwidth as it currently uploads about 25 GB per day to the network), and I don't have the disk space to clone it. But since you're at 51% already, doubling your download speed isn't going to be faster than just letting it sync on it's own.

Hey Loyce, Just letting you know that I subscribed to Panda VPN, and it was able to bypass my internet speed.

But since you're at 51% already, doubling your download speed isn't going to be faster than just letting it sync on its own.

Bang! It just took 14 days to download the rest, 49%, with the Panda VPN. I have some questions about the Bitcoin core options. I posted on n0nce's thread and asked him if that is the appropriate thread. Would you mind helping if possible?

Hello! newbie here. How do I navigate loyce's website? I would like the .tsv files of June 28 to 30, 2022 all funded bitcoin addresses. Thank you so much!

[LoyceV]

How do I navigate loyce's website?

Basically, start from here (Bitcointalk). Loyce.club was never meant to be a stand-alone site, it's meant to dump the data that doesn't fit in a post.

I would like the .tsv files of June 28 to 30, 2022 all funded bitcoin addresses.

I found June 30, 2022 in my backups, but June 28 is gone. If you can tell me what it is you're trying to do, I may be able to help.
I've uploaded the files from June 30 to tmp.loyce.club. They're scheduled to be deleted in 30 days.

I was just curious and tried to visit the link however it seems like I can't access the website.



Edit: It's working now  

[LoyceV]

Thanks, try again (without the https): http://tmp.loyce.club/

@LoyceV
First of all I hope all is well.

I would like to know if you have a file with the list of the total number of posts and topics created by each user?
