[TOOL] ⭐Bitcointalk BRDb score

[*Ace*]

Well here's another very interesting thread that somehow escaped my mosquito-capacity attention.....thing.  And it escaped it for months; that's inexcusable, because aside from the very tricky problem of trying to treat post quality with math, I think you did a damn fine job on this project *Ace*.  

I also congratulate you on jumping up through the ranks so fast and thought I might give you a little boost since I think you deserve it.  I wasn't familiar with your username and thought you might have been an older member who'd come back from pasture, but nope.  You're just a good writer and did a nice thing here for the people who go nutty over stats (and there's nothing wrong with that so far as I can see).  I shall keep your page bookmarked alongside bitlist.co and the other forum-related sites I visit from time to time.

Cool beans, sir.  Cool beans.

Unfortunately, mathematically qualifying a post and saying with certainty whether it is high-quality or low-quality is extremely difficult. It can be done, there are the tools to do it, but it's a really big job to do and I don't have the skills to do it yet. This project initially started as an experiment, but then I focused more on user quality than post quality.
If I read and appreciate your posts I do it by giving merit to your posts, and if many people do it it means that you are a quality user, but this must happen for many posts and not sporadically. So far, I think my tool has come close to reality: the tool tracks community sentiment toward a single user and gives them a score. That score reflects the value we all indirectly gave to that user.
The userscript isn't working properly right now, as I've moved everything to my server and am rewriting all the code. But when it was up, it was nice to see who you were talking to. because that score that appeared was practically your business card.

Thank you for your appreciation and for the Merit received, you have been truly very kind.

I just got the domain for the project. I'm waiting for it to be activated and the DNS to propagate. I hope by tonight.
As always, I thank Mitchell and DYING_SOUL who funded this project.
I'll most likely release the link to use the project by tomorrow. Stay tuned, as I need your feedback.

BrDb.org is on sale at almost 1,500 USD, while BRDB.io (very cool imho) is only 0.01 USD, like the infamous BRDB.eu, which I strongly vouch against.
LOL! I am sure you made a good choice.
Looking forward to the new version of this project and giving you some feedback!

  Hi there,

We wanted to let you know that, unfortunately, we’re unable to proceed with the registration of your requested domain.

After further verification with the registrar, it turns out that this domain is classified as a premium domain. Premium domains are priced significantly higher than standard registrations, and in some cases, our system may not immediately detect this status during the initial search.

Because of this, we were unable to complete the registration at the standard price shown at the time of your order.

We’ve issued a full refund in form of account credits, so you can use them right away for another domain or any of our services.

 

I was so happy yesterday morning that I finally got the domain, but after almost 24 hours of long waiting I received this email

I've already requested a new domain, hoping there won't be any more surprises this time. I don't like waiting so long! And mynymbox can't play these nasty tricks.

Lol, you only had one job.
Well, I didn't thought this domain could have been so valuable: probably there is a real domain that it is very similar: IMDb.com maybe?

Yes, very, very similar! brdb.link
Apparently everyone is coveted! This domain is very valuable! It will be the legendary version of IMDb.com
I am really very disappointed with this choice made by mynymbox, they must find a way to evaluate domains in real time and not give this bad news after paying. Among other things, they refunded me, but the credit can only be used within their shop, so I'm forced to buy from them.

Here we go!
BRDb finally has its own domain! It's up and running now.

This website is looking very good, and I guess we can now turn on BRDb userscript again.
I will test it more in next few days, but I like how clean it is showing all information.
Is there a way to access profile web page with a click of button usinng userscript, and how exactly?

Unfortunately, I haven't worked on updating the userscript yet. I've been dedicating all my time to rewriting the scraper, database, and website. The userscript will be updated and, more importantly, rewritten to be compatible with the new database. I think I'll do it next week. For now, after days of work and coding, my eyes are looking at each other. Excuse me

1. At the very start it says, (1,263,140 Merits - 21,056 Posts - 59,241 Users) - but what are they of? Everyday? 7 days? 30 days? What time period exactly!

2. These different categories of data, Top Reputation, Top Senders - where are these coming from (the source)?

3. The favicon is missing!

4. On specific profiles there is no option for seeing Merit History for (today, 7 days, 30 days, 120 days, all time).

5. Why the gap? Of two blocks!



6. Make the QR bigger lol! The bigger, the better! And maybe re-position...



Might add more later.....

For now good luck and good job! You Ace'ed it *Ace*!  

[Lillominato89]

Great news!
The layout of the new site is brilliant – much more pleasing to the eye, in my opinion. Well done, mate.

I haven’t checked for any bugs or inconsistencies yet, but I’ll do so over the next few days. In the meantime, I’ll let you get some rest, lol.

I really like the profile page; I’d perhaps just make the profile picture a bit bigger – it looks a bit small to me.

[fillippone]

Wonderful news! Finally, a true website!
I do like the new graphic style, so much leaner and modern.

BUG report
When clicking on my profile i get:

Code:

Cannot GET /profile/1852120

On a blank page.
Actually, that happens on every profile I click....

I was working on the implementation that dying_soul had suggested.
Now you can try visiting your profile.
I've fixed the merit history so it can now be viewed by time range. I've added a favicon and increased the size of the QR code.

I answer in order #1 is the data available inside my DB
#2 the data comes from bitcointalk scraping and loycev's loyce.club then it is manipulated by the script
#3 Inserted
#4 inserted
#5 I put the gap on purpose to distinguish the two types of data, at the top you will find the tables on the posts and at the bottom on the merits, I also needed the space to insert other tables
#6 done

You're Your^* POSTS count looks like it's from the year 2040:

I'd expect it to be from all time, but the data doesn't match. Up to this morning's data dump, I count:
1264400 Merit transactions
764099 Merited posts
2396206 Merits sent
58869 userIDs sent or received Merit

It's functioning very well now, thanks!

 It takes a little while to load, meaning it’s dynamically loaded rather than pre-cached and rendered. I guess it’s a trade-off.

You played a dirty trick on me! You scraped all the forum posts on your tool, but in two different formats. My scraper went crazy with some users, even tripling the actual value of the posts. I'm resetting the scraper and scraping your site again! If you see aggressive requests, know that it's me xD

A question, *Ace*, where does the data you use come from? I understood you scraped everything, without relying on external databases, but now it seems you are using LoyceV database in some form.
It's really interesting, in a way.

The scraper gets data directly from Bitcointalk, but only data that has yet to happen. For example, this post of mine will be caught by my scraper during the next scraping cycle. Given everything that happened in the past, I had two options. Scrape the entire forum, post by post, merit by merit. But there are millions of posts, and the rate limit on Bitcointalk is of one request per second, it would take me months to get everything, and it would require many GB of available space. The alternatives were bitlist (already massacred by requests and I no longer have the apikey) loyce.club but only take the metadata and that's it. This is just to have available all the tx of past Merit, and the number of posts of each user complete with timestamp, title and msg_id, topic_id. I have to do the rest myself.

But maybe this is all the wrong approach.

Please don't do that! Tell me what you need, and I'll get you a compressed archive.

Ok, then I'll stop the process. I need the post history, only metadata, user_id, msg_id, topic_id, board_id, timestamp and if possible the title of the post. This is what I need for every post from every user, I don't need to have the message text, I already have the Merit history, just a few TXs missing that I will recover later. If you can give me this I thank you infinitely
