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

[suchmoon]

Hey hey!

Just wondering here... are banned accounts prior to the creation of BPIP displayed as such? Or they simply show as "inactive"? There's a particular case I had to check and it showed as "inactive", so that got me wondering.

Thanks!

No, accounts banned prior to BPIP's existence (~2018-ish) will not be shown as banned.

I just visit the site and I notice that the copyright is expired? Copyright © 2016-2020 BPIP
Probably is nothing and you will fix it, but I saw it and wanted to inform you. And Merry Christmas to all!

[dataispower]

From my heart i first present my merry Christmas to everybody, i notice that BPIP is the shortest way of noticing someone that have being ban and also notice somebody that delete the many posts or Change email so  recently and easily, what i want to know can't another method or app be created for checking scam signature campaign and not really for our profiles because i know quite ok that bpip is for bitcointalk users profile

I'm not really sure how tools like BPIP can help to find scam signature campaigns. Actually, scam sig campaigns isn't that often thing there and biggest red flags for it is no escrow and campaign managed by newbie, user without reputation or with negative trust. If you talking about altcoin campaigns and bounties, probably not much can be done and people join it at their own risk.

[Bitcoin_Arena]

also notice somebody that delete the many posts or Change email so  recently

1. Bpip does not keep track of posts personally deleted by a member since it does not archive them like Loyce.club or ninjastic.space. Only stats of posts deleted by mods are shown.
2. bpip doesn't track email address changes but rather password changes.

what i want to know can't another method or app be created for checking scam signature campaign and not really for our profiles because i know quite ok that bpip is for bitcointalk users profile

The simple answer is, it's not possible.

Maybe he misunderstood BPIP to another thing, to find scam signature campaign can't be find with BPIP and noticing scam campaign is not from the participants the person that will not so easily is the manager, for everybody to know research will be made from online to know the company

[Timelord2067]

How often does the "flag" information get updated?  There are three recent Flags, however, the information hasn't updated for those three in days.

Thanks.

[examplens]

is it just me or there really is a problem with the security certificate?



I guess it can be the reason why bpip chrome extension does not work properly.

[dkbit98]

This is expired certificate for Bpip website, but it can still be used if you click accept the risk and continue.
I think they use free Let's Encrypt, so it's easy to renew it.

Code:

Peer’s Certificate has expired.

Exactly.
It only shows that they do not use autorenewal script, which is recommended for Let's Encrypt as their validity period is short.
Maybe they should ask hosting company to enable it if they do not have enough privileges to do it.

Thanks for the notifications, I had ping'd suchmoon last night about a few other things, one of them being a certificate error I was getting, which is probably related to this cert.. although, I honestly didn't make the connection it would be tied to the certificate on the site, but it should just be a certificate renewal. I'm sure he'll get it resolved as soon as he can. Apologies for the disruption.

[ShowOff]

-snip-

I also had the same problem all day where the site required me to set the correct time even though this had never happened before. I thought this just happened to me, but it turns out that other people have experienced the same thing.

Thank you for the improvements you will make next because I think bpip.org has become an important part so far among forum users.

[suchmoon]

I apologize about the screw up. The certificate is supposed to renew automatically. Not sure what happened there, looking into it now.

Edit: site should be ok now. Still not sure what caused the renewal to fail - I just ran the script manually and it worked.

Yes, everything is back to normal now. Both, site and browser extension.
I have similar problems with a free security certificate. I think they still can't be renewed automatically, it must have to be manually renewed. Usually, it happened 365 days after activation. So, you're probably safe until 25 Jan. '23

[LoyceV]

I noticed a tiny inconsistency: BPIP shows I've sent 29185 Merit, the forum shows 29183. Suchmoon is off by 9, El duderino_ is off by 1, Ratimov's sent Merit count is correct.
Not a big deal of course

Interesting. If BPIP number was lower I'd say we missed some merits but not sure how we could have more. I'll check if there are any duplicates.

[hosseinimr93]

Interesting. If BPIP number was lower I'd say we missed some merits but not sure how we could have more. I'll check if there are any duplicates.

I compared the number reported by BPIP, the number reported by loyce.club and the number reported on forum's statistic with each other.

The forum says that LoyceV has sent 29,183 merit so far.
Loyce.club says that LoyceV has sent 29,031 merit until end of January 20, 2022. Given that LoyceV has sent 152 merit after January 20, 2022, Loyce.club and forum are actually showing a same number.
BPIP says that LoyceV has sent 29,185 merit so far.

I expected the problem to be from BPIP and I tried to find a duplicate merit transaction on BPIP.
Interestingly, I found a merit transaction on BPIP that doesn't exist on loyce.club.

The 2 merit sent by LoyceV to Xal0lex for this post on April 1, 2019 hasn't been recorded on loyce.club.


BPIP

Loyce.club is missing a merit transaction between transactions number 2751 and 2752.


loyce.club

Maybe, that merit transaction is being missed in theymos' data too and that's the forum which is showing a wrong number.
LoyceV, can you confirm this? Due to the big size of the data, I couldn't load it.

I think those merits were later rolled back (because it was an April Fool's thread) and don't appear in forum's merit dumps.

[LoyceV]

The 2 merit sent by LoyceV to Xal0lex for this post on April 1, 2019 hasn't been recorded on loyce.club.

This is correct: I did indeed Merit that post on April 1, but theymos rewinded all Merit sent to that post on that day. All Merit still visible on Xal0lex' post (including 2 from me) was (re)sent on April 2:

Loyce.club is missing a merit transaction between transactions number 2751 and 2752.

As it should be

Maybe, that merit transaction is being missed in theymos' data too and that's the forum which is showing a wrong number.
LoyceV, can you confirm this? Due to the big size of the data, I couldn't load it.

That file has grown too big for any browser to open. I used merit.all.txt:

I use theymos' weekly data dump merit.txt.xz, and add it to my merit.all.txt. Every week I replace the last 113 days by the latest 120 days, so that any changes (such as undoing Merit) theymos made within the last 120 days are updated in my files too. BPIP uses near real-time data from the forum, so that changes aren't registered. I'd say you've solved the mystery, I'm impressed you found back the culprit from years ago!

[LoyceV]

I just realize that maybe the change of the email address is not registered in the seclog

Correct.
