[BPIP] Bitcointalk Public Information Project [Back in Action]

[ibminer]

This is still based on the old Trust scores, right? The system in which your Trust score increased by 1 point per month, until it reached the maximum of 10 points per user who left you positive feedback?

Correct, it is based on the old trust score algorithms, with the difference that there isn't really any orange.. < 0 goes red.

If we do move towards a new score, I'd still like to keep the old scores in some form, as I think it would be interesting to reference and could be useful.

edit:
(moved to post below for organization)

[ibminer]

A few changes:

• If the search results in only 1 profile returned (whether using a userid or a search term), it will now automatically go directly to that profile.
  
• Registration date of profile has been added to the meta log. <- mainly to reference for accounts waking up, but there could be other uses.
• Trust color now appears on DT1/DT2 strength reports.
• Year '2020' has been added to most merited report, and corrected skipping rank numbers.

Trust color now appears on DT1/DT2 strength reports.

Suggestion: replace the words "Dark Green" by the Trust score number. The dark green background color in the cell is obvious enough to omit the word, and replacing it by a number adds more information.

[ibminer]

^ Valid point. Adjusted!

Another issue with meirt. Look at this profile > skysblu
If you go to his meirt history there are two transactions to oceanriver

The forum link >  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=553575

If you check the BPIP history, one transaction was sent to profile > 0
See it here:
https://bpip.org/smerit.aspx?from=skysblu

In addition his stats are:

Code:

Merit Information
	Sent 	Received 	S/R Ratio 	Circle
Value 	0 	0 	0.00 	0

See it here : https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?id=553575

I know this case. He deleted a bunch of posts. The problem is that we're using https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=recent to scrape merits and that page doesn't show the receiver. So we're then trying to scrape the post link to determine the author (i.e. the receiver) but that fails because the post is no longer there.

Instead I'll try to scrape the sender's recent merits page - this should fill in those gaps.

Unless you're a blind person relying on a text to voice reader?

Its been a while since I checked my Bpip-Findingnemo account, but I noticed something there is a mismatch on merit score and received merits.



Merit score supposed to be 144 right?

[suchmoon]

You started with 10 merits, right? So the 134 received merits is correct? Just making sure because I just told ibminer that received merit data has been fixed so he'll fire me if it's not

I'll be looking into why the total is 132 instead of 144, along with a few other similar issues.

My merit count is also in the same spot. I'm guessing the merits on the tables are updated once a month while the "has x merits part" are updated instantly or within a few minutes.

[suchmoon]

I fixed a couple of issues - one related to profile refresh, other related to merit score itself - so your merit numbers should be much more accurate now. Make sure to click "refresh profile" and if you're still seeing any discrepancies after that - let me know. Please keep in mind that some minor differences might still exist. I believe I've seen that the merit total on Bitcointalk itself (e.g. on the profile page and under your username on the left side of posts) doesn't get immediately updated when you receive new merits. If that happens then you'll see the difference on BPIP as well.

As I mentioned earlier, received merits have been fixed too - duplicates removed etc - and the updated process now works like this:

Instead I'll try to scrape the sender's recent merits page - this should fill in those gaps.

There are some minor display issues, for example some deleted posts in the list of sent/received merits don't have any titles so you can't even see what the post ID is. We'll fix that eventually but it's not a high priority at this time.

^ Good stuff, thanks suchmoon. They're looking accurate to me on the ones I've spot checked so far.

I guess now I really can't fire you .. Damn, I had a nice trump meme and everything ready to go. LoL

I can confirm this with my profile on BPIP

Sorry for reporting too late,been busy with my home renovation work for past few days.

[TheBeardedBaby]

I've been keeping eye on the site the last few days while reporting for any incorrect stats but I couldn't find anything wrong. All related to Merit and Trust is correct for those profiles I've checked.

Heard the rumors about a new BPIP firefox extension, if you guys need anyone to test it, let me know

No worries, thanks for the feedback.

I'm currently working on some fixes to DT1/DT2 status display (for example The Pharmacist is in DT but not shown as such). When that's done, extension testing is next, probably sometime next week. I'll keep your offer in mind.

[ibminer]

I bet it has something to do with the space... no links on the page its parsing, so it has to use the usernames and I'm noticing other users with spaces that also do not get parsed correctly:
Frank Lefty Rosenthal
Don Pedro Dinero

Probably. I have most of my fingers deep in that particular pie (DT2 parsing) at the moment so I'll fix that.

Is there any way that the old "User stats" information can be activated on this site? I can still remember a time when we could click on the forum stats page and then get a break down of the post behavior of the specific user. Now, when you click on that option, it just says : "User stats are disabled"

It comes in handy when you want to highlight the spammers and for Signature campaign managers to review people's post behavior, before they allow them in their campaigns.

Thank you for this additional data resource and all the time and money that are pushed into this to keep it operational. 

[ibminer]

I like the idea, but it's easier said than done given what is currently being parsed and how much more parsing would be needed for accurate results.

We just have to request Theymos to active it back instead to scrape all the data again. If it's done trough the forum software it will be using less resources if for example use a data scraper only for this. The servers will be still on load anyway.
