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

[BitBakerr1]

Trying to access BPIP and page is just blank. No errors, no random words pop up, just a plain white page that does nothing.

Out of curiosity, what are you guys mostly using BPIP for?

I use it to check the merit i received in the last 120 days when I want to apply for a new signature campaign that requires writing out our 120 days merit, it’s very easy that way than counting the merit you have received in the last 120 days by yourself, I tried counting it in the past and I made some mistakes however since knowing about BPIP I have been using it.
Lastly I also use it to check my current statues in the forum.

Does anyone realize that some of the data in BPIP is currently not UpToDate?
I found an anomaly that my post count didn't change from the value of 7575, when the current data was supposed to be 7595.

Does it take longer to update, even though there is the latest Parsed data?

It's not an anomaly, you are viewing the profiles using Quick Filter in the MATR rankings, but those are updated on a regular basis (refer to ibminer's post below). You should go to your actual profile page: https://bpip.org/Profile?p=AakZaki , and click the "Refresh Profile" option to get accurate results. The same goes for viewing other members.

The general stats on a profile page will get updated instantly when a refresh profile happens, as this updates the main profile table in the DB... but ranks are done through a procedure at regular intervals to all top users, and it would include all badges getting updated at once. For resource/performance purposes, allowing a refresh profile button to recalculate the ranks of thousands of users might not be worth it.

It only works for updating the profil info in the table, but not the badges. I've been trying this since I noticed this about 5 days ago. I assume this is due to the addition of a new badge type for lower categories.

Does it update your badges the way you do?

The profile page continued to show the correct up-to-date values that parsers were saving, but the procedure that periodically updates the ranks, and subsequently also feeds the queries the report pages use, has an issue which is causing it to not automatically run. I ran this manually a few minutes ago and it updated correctly, but I need to check with suchmoon on why it's not running automatically.

As for some of the recent blank pages and 504 errors, these were unfortunately related to DDoS's that suchmoon has been working to mitigate... should hopefully be settled down. BPIP must have some haters out there.

Yes at this time I can confirm that, that currently the data is correct as I reported earlier. I still use BPIP a lot, so when there is data showing a discrepancy I will try to report it.

As for the DDoS attacks you mentioned, hopefully you can continue to overcome them. Regarding the haters you mentioned, I also hope you don't think too much about it, because there are indeed many people out there who are hungry to fulfill their desires and attack each other.

Partly good for investigative purposes... Merit abusing circles (Merit fans and Merit favorites of some alt accounts), Meta log and observing DT 1 trust changes if someone can not wait long enough for that weekly Custom Trust list viewer update by Loyce.club.
