[Experimental] ⭐Bitcointalk BRDb score

[DYING_S0UL]

Not sure where I did wrong but I'm not able to run it properly.

I just installed it via tampermoneky, the script is running and enabled. As for visiting bitlist.co website and completeing the 2-second anti-bot verification, what do you mean by that? I did visited the site but there wasn't any verification or anything. I might be missing something as I haven't read all the replies here. The point is, nothing happened. Guys, a little help!

If you have installed version 0.15.2, you do not need to visit the bitlist.co website.
In previous versions, I used different endpoints to obtain data from bitlist, but Anubis was present on bitlist and blocked requests made by bots. To get around this problem, you first had to visit the bitlist website, which would then whitelist your IP address.
Now I have a worker with the new bitlist APIs, and there is no longer any need to do this. The script works without having to visit bitlist first.
That was the crux of the problem, but it has now been fixed.

As always, I ask that someone try it out and give me feedback, thank you.

I updated the script to latest version and everything is working good for now.
Only thing I can observe now is that sometimes it's loading slower to show BRDb scores on all profiles when switching to different page and scrolling down.
This is nothing serious and I don't really need super fast speed for showing this.

It has been slowed down a bit to prevent the script from making too many calls per second, but it should cache the results for at least an hour so that it is faster if you encounter a user again on another page.
I will try to reduce the latency times.

I think I was on the latest version. Yes 0.15.2 one.

Ok here is the update (a little late I guess).

When I first installed it for the first time, nothing happened as I said earlier. So I visited bitlist, waited and still nothing. Later, after a couple of hours, it worked, on it's own. Didn't touch anything. Maybe it was a internet thing or cache related issue. The point is the ratings are showing now. Now, what I observed is that the rating doesn't appear instantly. When scrolling through a page of multiple users, it takes 1-2 seconds delays before slowly updating the rating one by one. Could it be because I'm using it for the first time? 

edit: I didn't read your previous comment about the intentional slowness. So i guess that explains it. All sorted.

[Lillominato89]

Your project has come so far in such a short time! I really like it.
I noticed the slowdown too, and honestly thought it was my poor internet connection, but now I realise you slowed it down on purpose to avoid too many calls in a few seconds! Great strategy, mate.

[*Ace*]

Let me explain briefly!
The first time I tried to insert the BRDb next to each of our usernames within the threads, the forum banned my IP address for too many simultaneous calls. I then discovered that the maximum allowed is one call per second, but on a thread page there are at least 25 posts, meaning at least 25 users, so in one second it would have made at least 25 calls to the forum!
The solution I came up with was to limit the script to one call per second, and I added a lazy load mode that only makes calls to the forum if we scroll within the thread.

This is only to avoid excessive calls, and I think it's an acceptable compromise. I also added caching to make it faster, but you still have to wait 1-2 seconds for the result to be displayed.
To get this data instantly, I would need to have a personal database, which I don't currently have but will probably create over time.

ace, did you happen to change anything inside your code recently? Previously I had score in around 5 or something range, but today it dropped to 3 range.
And does being inactive for a few days, impacts this scoring greatly? I was a little inactive for the past few weeks!

In my extension, at this moment, you're still a solid 5.5.
Also, I already suggested to *Ace* to implement a historical graph of the score, but I understand it's a lot of data to pull!

Exactly, I had a decent score a few days ago, and all of a sudden it dropped, exactly how BTC has been dropping lately.
Totally shocking from my end, I didn't expect something like this to happen so instantly.
Maybe because I had a activity change today? But dropping this low? I donno!

It must have been a momentary calculation error, I still see 5.5 as your score!
Being inactive results in a small penalty, but not that big! Something clearly went wrong.
I modified part of my endpoint code the other night, but the data should still be the same, the structure hasn't changed, but I don't doubt that something could have gone wrong while I was making changes.
I'm trying to create a database, but I've encountered difficulties and have stopped.

Well this momentary calculation error effected my score significantly. Previously What I had was "overall ok I guess", in each catagory like reliability, reputation. impact etc, everything was decent enough.
But now everything seems to be messed up, as low as it can go.

btw, it's still from my end? Do I need to reinstall the script or anything? Or will it get corrected on it's own later?

You don't need to do anything, the data has been saved in the cache, unfortunately the incorrect data. It should fix itself in an hour, but since you have the incorrect data, could you send me a screenshot so I can check whether it's correct or not from the endpoint?

Thank you for the help through PM. I didn't need to do anything, it fixed everything on it's own. The score got back to it's original value. And the version I was using is this one "   0.15.2". Now I can breathe a sigh of relief, and be happy...

I'm glad everything is back to normal in your script!
I don't know exactly what happened! But I think it was a temporary error in retrieving data from the worker, which unfortunately can happen. Perhaps I'll add a button to manually refresh and clear the cache, so that if a similar problem occurs again, we'll know how to fix it immediately.

Btw, *Ace*, you might also need to "Restart/update/fix/refresh/patch" your entire system (Whatever you call that , I don't know technical term for it).

Because it seems like I wasn't the only one effected.

Did you take this screenshot yourself, or did Little Mouse send it to you?

I agree with you! They should implement something that updates the script manually or even automatically. I see that the counts are not updated in real time, so I assume it is due to the data being saved in the cache memory. It is not extremely important to have real-time data feedback, but it is nice to see.
However, I have not had this problem. If you solve it, Ace, could you tell us what went wrong?

[fillippone]

Well, I think this is "experimental" for a reason.
The formula has evolved a lot in the past few weeks, but the tech part can also be improved.
It's going to be a tough work, *Ace*!
