output example with my profile

Code:

UID 889300
Profile: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=889300
Merits: 12
Activity: 129
Position: Member
Next Position: Full Member

I don't think it is needed, because people know exactly what they have. Especially with merit system, people don't immediately rank up when they hit activity requirements; and they can not easily get required  number of merits to rank up. Moreover, it will save their time to read helpful things in the forum, for their own interests, or spend their time to make helpful posts, rather than spending too much time to run such script and pay too much attention on which requirements they have not met.

What about Legendary account requirements? Will your script work just as well, even if the activity requirements are not clear?

By checking the script, it looks like they use the minimum (775 activity) for Legendary account requirements. So, you will only see how much you need to get into the "luck" range (775 - 1030).

There is bob123, whom has not hit lucky number, even activity hits 924 so far: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=579628

I do it for myself. If anyone will use it, better.

For legendary rank, i only check the minimum - i can't predice the future.

If anyone is interested I could also make a web version with django. In any case, thanks for the merits.

You deserve it OP, anyway is it your work doing the script? I can't tell if it is easy or not to make it because I am not an IT expert or a programmer. I just think that it is hard to do but since if it is your doings and expertise then maybe it is easier for you OP.

I guess there's users who have fulfilled the merit requirements in order to rank up, but haven't hit the activity requirements. Although, the mass majority of users won't have a use for it I imagine there will be a few users who will appreciate it. I haven't checked the script myself, but good work nonetheless.

Yeah Welsh,
I am one of that users! I am left with a some activity left to rank up.
As the activity progressing is so complicated and unintelligible by the average user (😜), I am requesting the OP to improve his script giving the user an accurate prediction of the least time needed to get the needed activity, paying attention to the standard cut times for activity build-up adopted in the forum.
If both merits and activity are missing to rank up then it would be nice to add the minimum merits per day to rank up by the minimum date.
I will merit the op when he deliver this improvements!

Yes, i can. I think is a nice improvement. Tomorrow i work on it.

Well.. i had a 50% chance to hit it <= 902 activity.

Now, each 14 days it gets more and more probable for me to rank up.. i guess you just have to see the glass half full in this case 

For legendary rank, i only check the minimum - i can't predice the future. 

Could you at least try, please? 

[giammangiato]

Could you at least try, please? 

I can calculate % of luck with a range of activity. But i dont know the right formula.

I supposte something like this:

 if activity>775 then
 luck denominator= rounddown((1030-775)/14,0)
 luck numerator=rounddown((activity-775)/14,0)+1
luck= min(lucknumerator/luckdenominator,100%)

This is something excel- like.

Oh dear! Thank you, i will include this formula on my script. 
Tomorrow i'll update this thread.

This formula seems pretty off to me.


For example, with 1029 activity you should be at 100% for getting legendary the next time activity changes (or very close to 100% if you calculate how probable legendary is at given activity).
However, with 1029, you get:

denominator = 18
numerator = 19

luck = min (18, 19, 100) would be 18. That's not close to 100.

[fillippone]

luck= min(lucknumerator/luckdenominator,100%)

This formula seems pretty off to me.

[snip]
luck = min (18, 19, 100) would be 18. That's not close to 100.

luck = min (18/19, 1) would be 18 94%. That's not close to 100%.

Anyway you are messing around with my formula.
With activity of 1029 my formula says 100%, as at the next round you are going to be legendary for sure.

[bob123]

Anyway you are messing around with my formula.

My fault, i have read
luck= min(lucknumerator , luckdenominator , 100%) instead of
luck= min(lucknumerator / luckdenominator, 100%).

I think i am too tired to today.

I am  too tired, too old and too hot (as in summer hot) for all this.
