Profile trick

[Mia Chloe]

What was the first account created on Bitcointalk ? Well the simple answer is admin
How about the third ?
That is actually Satoshi ok precisely here are the first 5 created accounts on Bitcoin talk after Satoshi.

• sirius
• nandnor
• Xunie
• madhatter
• nanaimogold
• SmokeTooMuch

Why did I bring this up and how did I get this info?
Now here is a simple trick on how I got these profiles.
Open your profile,click merit then click the url text box and edit the last digits after the url.
Points to note;
1. The digits in the url signifies your unique profile number.
2. Now if you place a new set of digits after that url without ur unique profile digits and hit search it will open the merit history of the user with that profile number.
Below are a series of illustration







Why didn't I mention account 2? This is because I tried using same thing for profile numbers 2,5 and a few others but it didn't return any profile what could be the cause?here is the message displayed.


Don't forget to keep your keys safe 😁

I would not be surprised if we saw a Guide talking about how to create a Guide in the forum, but really, does this information deserve to have its own Guide? Account No. 2 and other accounts have been deleted and may have been created by Satoshi or Sirius, but if the title of this topic was about this question, it would be somewhat acceptable.

Tracking the account ID will help you if the user changes the username, as the account ID cannot be changed.

Thanks for the information but change of user name doesn't seem to be common on the forum.
This is because first of all I didn't think it can be done from your profile but rather by theymos himself right?

You can look up Bitcointalk users using their ID or username on bpip.org and ninjastic.space. It's way simpler for me than messing around with the URL.

https://ninjastic.space/user/id/3

True, so you need the account ID, which almost everyone knows because it is a requirement when you want to join signature campaigns (note that they do not ask you for your username.) Otherwise, tracking IDs will be useless because some accounts will be deleted.

BTW Is this your only account? I noticed another account posting a screenshot in the same font you use, and there is a similarity between two accounts.

With beginners, their main interests should be about forum rules or Bitcoin. Digging to know early users of the forum does not make any sense to help their adventure in Bitcointalk.

Creation of guides on this forum has never been a wrong idea.the fact that you are aware of this trick on profiles doesn't mean every other member is also hence a guide isn't considered as a wrong move.

BTW Is this your only account? I noticed another account posting a screenshot in the same font you use, and there is a similarity between two accounts.

You of all people I believe should know that I cannot be the only one on planet earth using this particular font on my device.I believe other users on this forum may use same font with me and does that necessarily me they are all alts?
However thanks for the info about profile IDs once again

Have you tried using other numbers aside 2 and 3 the last digits of numbers are each user's uid and am not sure if it was given as according to how every user's account was created or was just a random numbers, to me this may not be a trick because if you edited it, it will surely gives you someone's profile as long as the inserted number(s) are within the set range of all forum user's unique identification numbers.

It appears that the OP couldn't contain their excitement upon realizing how user profile IDs function on this platform.

Well, considering the amount of merit the OP has been accumulating for these guides, it would be foolish not to create more of them!

Creating them isn't a problem but the real case is how useful is this topic to us now?
Normally I don't find anything too difficult for one not to know or even understand about this, because user ID is like a total registration numbers of people who signed up. Whomever that signed up today this very moments happens to the last user of the forum and such person should be around Millions plus. Profile ID is being arranged from 1 to Millions of total signed up so there is nothing much difficult over there. I believe if his tricks of earning merits are being discovered op will stop maybe he would device a new means.. lol

If anyone wants to know the account ID of anyone, they can just look for the profile of that account and can easily see their user ID.  If one wants to know his user ID, he can just click his own profile and click summary, and his profile ID is revealed.  Also  Simply clicking the username of the account that replies on the thread can redirect us to their profile showing their account/user ID.


This is just a trick @OP wanted to share, I do not see any wrong with this

Well, this is getting the user account through merit access and not the usual clicking of the account profile, it is somehow a different "trick" to get the user profile and account ID, although I do not see any importance to it, maybe others will find it amazing. Besides, each member has the right to create their own topic they want, so let us just respect that.  Whether someone will merit this kind of thread is up to them, giving merit as we all know is subjective.

OP, I applaud your effort in showing that shortcut or hack to getting users' ID. Veteran members may think what you've done is irrelevant but I think it's helpful. At least if not for the high ranked members, it's definitely for newbies. Thus, I believe it's more appreciated in that quarters and that's for the general good of all as we've to do all we can to get the newbies properly settled in here.

Why didn't I mention account 2? This is because I tried using same thing for profile numbers 2,5 and a few others but it didn't return any profile what could be the cause?here is the message displayed.

Those accounts were disabled or deleted and were used for testing purposes I guess, that's why they don't show up as existing when you use any of the forum's features.

Also you can't get the user ID by clicking the "PROFILE" button because it doesn't show it. You have to go to one of your posts and then on the bottom-left there is a user icon that takes you to the profile, except it does contain the user ID.

Thanks for your understanding Mpamaegbu and serjent05 I was just navigating through the forum when I noticed it and I decided to share the information though some forum members may not fancy the idea,others may as definitely not everyone on this forum is aware of it especially newbies.

I thought as much but still wasn't very sure about it.i think in that case they were created by Sirius and Satoshi during the test periods of the forum after lunch.

After clicking the Profile button from the top forum menu, to go to the same page that also contains your profile/user ID all you have to do is to click the
"Summary" link from the left panel (the first option there, also seen in the first screenshot in this topic).

What was the first account created on Bitcointalk ?

It's a really nice trick to know about it, many thanks for sharing.
I don't remember exactly, but I thought Bitcointalk member xtraelv made a long list of these profiles, who's still active but I couldn't find it, so not sure if such an topic really exists.
But xtraelv has created a summary about Bitcointalk's early discussion topics, as well.
It's working in a similar way as you've explained for profile links, but for topic links, where we can also reserach about early topics.
