How many hours are you in the forum daily?

[libert19]

May be 10 minutes or so daily, when bounty expires, I might give more time to find new one.

I am dead honest here, please don't mind that I use these forum only for bounties.

If I were female in here I likely would not mention it. It often provokes some verrry strange reactions.

Yes, some have strange behavior, with women in the forums.
Last merit sent, would deserve some answers, but 0 merits now.

[vapourminer]

Similarly the people who do declare themselves female in here are likely to be 11 yr boys trying to sell their grandmother's underpants passed off as some lithe gym bimbette's workout clothes.

curses! the jig is up.

  I   SWIM made out like a bandit on this.

now what do I *cough* SWIM do with all this stock??

EDIT out of merits at the moment but will send one to libert19 for his honestly

@fillippone This is great, but I have a question for you, is there any risk in privacy when using this bot?

As far as I know, the only risk is that the bot knows my telegram handle.
For more specific questions please address to the giammangiato thread, linked above,  Giammangiato [TelegramBot] Merit watcher and Mention Notification Bot.

I'm going to order one, the smart watch comes with the merits included,I need some to keep moving forward

As this is getting traction on the forum, I am writing a guide on how to properly setup the whole thing.
I will publish this late tomorrow when back in my bunker in Covid-land.

As promised, I wrote a little guide on how to setup a "notification machine" for the forum:
#meritislife: how to be notified on a smartband of merits and mentions

Have a nice read!

In total I have spent 102 days and 15 days of my life here. Usually, I spend 1-2 hours daily here. I visit forum multiple times a day to read what's going on, but I post in evenings/night mainly when I have more free time. Bitcointalk "eat" most of my free time, maybe even too much. But at the same time I would like to be more active here.
Offcourse, there is some busy days when I spend just few minutes here.

I have a smartband, connected with the Giammangiato [TelegramBot] Merit watcher and Mention Notification Bot
Every time you mention me on a post or you merit me that thing give me an haptic feedback, so I immediately turn on the forum, in case I am away.

https://talkimg.com/images/2023/09/10/mqeNd.jpeg

I always have a tab open, home, work and mobile.
I think this explains a lot.

This is what I call addiction. I have never thought about such practical use of smartband.
And don't apologize for hairy arm because you haven't saw mine .

You do what you say, you are a man of your word, now I don't have sM to give you in your thread but I will send you when I can.

More time here, now I have more free hours

[semobo]

More time here, now I have more free hours

The quarantine period almost over here.

But probably I am spending atleast few hours in bitcointalk per day not in a constant way but someone like 2 to 4 hours range.

[reliable]

More time here, now I have more free hours

There has being a surge for my timing as well on the forum due to the lockdown and just being at home. So instead of wasting kept reading the different threads and articles on forum as well and tried to understand new things which is quite useful and relevant as well for future.

[Crptomagma]

Well for me as a Newbie and someone who have the zeal and inquisitive about Cryptocurrency I can’t  estimate the time I spend here ever since i registered here,  as my account is just logged in my device. I’m here to learn more about Cryptocurrency from people who are well exposed and experience about it. So I do more of reading and educating myself about bitcoin and it’s been helpful. Some weeks ago the knowledge I have about bitcoin and the level of knowledge i have about it now is different.

These forum has helped me to discover more a about Cryptocurrency and I’m most grateful to the founders of these forum. To me it’s not just discussing about bitcoin business or transactions but also i find it interesting and fun so the taste for it comes more. I’m mostly occupied with other activities but I still create time for my bitcoin talk as I’m passionate about bitcoin.

After 8 months, has your presence on bitcointalk increased or decreased?
To better see the trend I have updated with a poll

[ShowOff]

Interesting question. I find it a bit difficult to say how many hour I am active each day on the forum for various reason. I use forum during my spare time and do something (read and post) and it usually take me more than 2 hour. Sometimes I don't post and just read some interesting topic and replies from forum contributor and it take less time than reading and posting. But ever since I wanted to change my posting habit, I spent more time here than ever before.

Definitely decreased since Corona for sure. I find it more difficult to stay online all the time - trying to get out more due to cabin-fever.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Maybe 2 hours or something like that for me. I guess my time online here coincides with bitcoin price action, when we’re in a bull run I’m on more than when the price is dull & moving sideways for long periods.

Quarantine gets us all in our home with less things to do, I noticed that I increased my presence here for the past 8 months, I'm averaging 4-6 hours in a day spending time here in forum reading and posting. Though I take a break weekly, a day or two so I could still go outside and do my stuffs. I usually online very early in the morning around 00:01 to 06:00 Do any Asian peeps can relate with my online time? 

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Longer than is probably healthy.  Longer than I'd care to admit.

But it depends, because I do a lot of stuff online throughout the day and I take little "bitcointalk breaks" where I'll look for a thread that catches my eye.  If it's interesting enough, I'll spend time reading it and probably making a post.  Lately there don't seem to be as many threads that hold my attention for long, but I've put that down to an overall decrease in traffic to the forum in the last few months.

I just keep my account logged in on my browser.

Yeah, me too.  I see no point of logging out since I visit the forum so often.  

I actually used to spend much more time on bitcointalk between 2016-2018 when I was actively hunting shitposters and account dealers.  My enthusiasm for both of those endeavors kind of fizzled out in 2019 for various reasons--but even still, it seems like I'm on the forum more than I see the sun.  lol

[fillippone]

My presence definitely increased with the lock down.
In the privacy of my laptop in my room, I  can indulge a lot more on my true love, bitcoin, without some other eyes questioning my dirty habits.
So I have a tab always opened on my laptop.
My mobile always on bitcointalk.
Telegram bot.
Merit bracelet.

I would say 8 hours plus of active brwosing.

Yes, I am hooked.

Who on the forum can call your habits as dirty?

You do what bitcoiners would do (dig to find documents, reports and learn from them to increase your knowledge). There are not many knowledgeable members on the forum like you. You are one of greatest knowledgeable members in Economics board. I read your topics a lot but tbh I am not understanding all your wrote.

[Upgrade00]

I registered on the forum about 2 years ago and have a Total time logged in of approximately 54 days, this means on average I spend ~7% of my day here on bitcointalk, a bulk of that number would have come much more recently due to lockdown (limited distractions) and renewed interest in Bitcoin and the forum.
So I probably spend between 5-8 hours on the forum per day now, and times which I am not on my bitcointalk tab, you'll probably find me browsing through related sites to Bitcoin to get information about a subject.

I consider myself lucky to be relatively safe from the negative cause of the lockdown and the virus itself; while some people are finding more spare time to do other things, some others are feeling the effects and can not make enough time or find it difficult to function in unfavorable conditions

[nutildah]

Thanks for updating your poll to include my option.  

2-3 hours.

It seems crazy to me when I type it out but its pretty much an unavoidable fact. I'd say I spend far more time reading than writing (as should anybody).

My overall time on the forum has almost doubled in the last 2 years or so... I'll be coming up on 200 days after 8 more days of forum time!

50 days a year = 1,200 hours

1,200 hours / 365 days 3.28 hours per day, sheesh. Guess I voted wrong.



If I average since the beginning of my account, that's 192 of 2,380 days, or 1.93 hours a day. That sounds more sane.


K, just saw Filippone's post and now I feel better about myself. Sorry Filippone but its for a good cause.
