[Abandoned] I created the Bitcointalk Stats Live Counter

Trust me, it will get worse, and you will have withdrawal symptoms from any extended breaks that you take.

I couldn't translate this. Is this a threat?

No. It means you're going to like this forum more and more. At some point you'll miss Bitcointalk when you don't visit it for a while.

Oh, like nostalgia? Well I like the forum for 2 reasons.

1) I'm so interested on bitcoin.
2) One of the biggest forum that exists in the internet right now. There are tons of useful topics I want to read. This place is worthing literally bitcoins...

Just for my knowledge... what is the cookie script for on that page?

Looking at the code, he scrapes the forum and puts the data inside your browser's cookie. The main page them gets the data from the saved cookie and shows in the page.

It looks like this:

Code:

topics=1239451; totalmembers=2778965; posts=54194412; members=449

[BlackHatCoiner]

Every 5 seconds a file called "posts.php" gets load to your browser. It contains a php function that scraps the stats from the stats page and creates cookies with values analogous. The javascript code simply calls (gets more correctly) the cookies (i think every second).

You are really good just like your kino, I will check it out, try to put it in bitbucket repo too

[BlackHatCoiner]

I will test it if it works I think I should click it here to work right sorry I am really noob in coding
Kindly guide me sensei. I love to test your work in my secure server that is how I trust this guy
Vouched for you ok

Does not work on subdomain
https://satoshinakamotov.com/test/


It works on my other domain not https tho and located in the public_html
http://satoshinakamotov.site/

Thanks for sharing your code bro

That's not a sub-domain. It works on sub-domains, but that thing is just a folder from your public_html. I think the code searches from "/" thats why it doesn't work on folders inside the "/".

It looks like you're using data from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats, but is this page still updated?

I thought the same, but it looks like only the "forum History" tab isn't updated anymore. But I keep refreshing the page and the number of total posts, topics and users online keep changing, so I guess those are still updated?

His work is always updating every second, (total post, total members, total topics, and members online is changes every second) so I guess it is updated right?

Anyway Nice work! @BlackHatCoiner, It's not really essential but it's nice to have it here it could also it useful for some reasons

[tranthidung]

Always nice to have a nice clean interface as I believe these statistics are hidden here on the forums. I'm not sure of the overall accuracy of those statistcs,  but like TryNinja said they seem to be somewhat up to date on the statistics included on the site.

For now, the Bitcointalk livecount stats site provides very limited stat types:

• Total posts
• Total topics
• Total members
• Total online members

All of these fours are available in the forum's statistics center but I see it has at least one advantage compare to what provides by the forum:

Statistics are automatically updated (almost realtime statistics) and guest don't have to refresh page (F5) to get newest ones. However, I still think that we don't actually need such real time stats. What we need is stats for a specific time points, start- / end-days of months, years, etc. So if OP plans to keep the site operatings for too long, the site needs more columns or categories for different type of stats, especially for summary stats.

BTW, it is better if OP develops his site further and provides additional statistics that have not yet given by the forum or were stopped updating for a long time. Some of them are:

• Forum History (using forum time offset) - at the bottom of the Statistics center. It were stopped updating since December 2017.
• Total autobanned/nuked users
• Total merit transacted

For #2: It is impossible to get the total of autobanned/ nuked users within the whole history of the forum. loyceclub provides such stats, but it only started since at January 04, 2019, 08:03:06 AM.
(Un)official pages that store forum data
I have a thread on this too but it was updated weekly, not real time. At-least-1 sent & earned merits users , excludes autobanned/ nuked. Stats!

Lastly, OP should check DdmrDdmr's page too. That page provides many types of stats and I don't remember them to give you a quick summary here.

I just realized, this forum needs multiquote

Hello @tranthidung, yes I'm working on saving data (like when most people are online in the day). I'm not registered years on this forum so I don't know what's that forum history that was stopped updating in December 2017. How exactly can I calculate all the merit transactions? They're not on a blockchain  . I mean, there is no official list that saves every transactions. Not to mention that when you click on a profile it shows you only transactions of the 120 last days.

[Timelord2o67]

Why are you showing fractions of numbers ?

Are you able to do flip numbers like old sleep clocks or airport destination alerts?

[BlackHatCoiner]

Why are you showing fractions of numbers ?

Fractions? This kind of fractions?

No I'm asking why you have fractions on your counter page for the BitCoinTalk stats.

Explain more my friend. I don't get why you use the "fractions" word. I don't use any fractions on my page.

No. We don't need pyramid quote. As you see, I don neither quote all your original post nor pyramid quote when I replied. To save time, you should watch the guide video made by Steamtyme. Post formatting

It is the weekly Friday data dump by theymos (the head admin) but it is not real time. http://loyce.club/Merit/merit.all.txt

Where does theymos dump it officially? In what thread?

Or get if from theymos, but you have to extract that file: https://bitcointalk.org/merit.txt.xz. That page is provided in my thread I gave you, maybe you did not check it carefully.

I'm trying to link to the trip meter section on this page but Wikipedia has its own ideas on adding m. to my page. Most annoying. (I might have to wait until I get home around this time tomorrow then find a better example for you)

The portion with a white background and black numeral is a fraction.

So far your page is saying eg there are 48.3 users online.

@Timelord2o67, can you post a screenshot here. Cause I only see that:

Yes, that's right. There are 49.7 users online at the moment. As I just said I'll be home in about um... twenty-five or twenty-six hours so I'll be on my PC and can do screen shots etc.

Wait, do you mean the white and black difference? No.. white does not mean comma. It's just for styling.
