[FREE TOOL] Get Rank up & Track Your Bitcointalk Rank up Journey!

[lovesmayfamilis]

I appreciate your effort to be able to build this. I also admire your passion to help newbies rank up.
The project is fine, but I feel there are a lot of information in it that could confuse some newbies. The formula is KISS (Keep It Simple and Straight). I also understand the nature of what you build demands so much explanations.

However, I have a different feelings to your project. Please don't be mad at me. I think that some of the tips or task will make newbies not to use the forum the natural way it should be used. I don't know if you understand me.

Take for instance this;

• Post in Bitcointalk discussion
• Reply to a Begineer’s question
• Write 3+ paragraph post
• Check new ANN threads
• Review signature campaigns
• Send sMerit to a quality post

I think it's leading users to use the forum not in their own way. I might be wrong that is my little input.

How about someone who doesn't belong to any locals, will they still proceed?

That's right, and you're 100 per cent right. Every person is unique. There is no list here, no scheme that would allow us to step by step towards what attracted users to the forum. Most of all, the "FREE TOOL" completely kills the idea of a forum about learning about Bitcoin and turns it into the fact that the goal is to turn newcomers into legends. But this should always be a secondary achievement. The OP confused the purpose of the forum. OP, I don't care; I won't apologise. You can be offended. But your schemes will turn newbies into players who will forget why they came to the forum.

Thank you for your valuable feedback. The tool is still a work in progress, and I have already made a good number of upgrades after listening to the community. My primary goal is to help Brand New, Newbie, Jr. Member, Member, Full Member, and somewhat Sn. Member. You cannot deny the fact that this is the only forum dedicated to Bitcoin and gives the opportunity to earn Bitcoin. I mean, not everyone comes from a first-world country, and a lot of new users come here to make their name and earn Bitcoin after working in Signature Campaign. That is why I created this tool, and as I have said earlier, this is just the beginning, and it will take me nearly six months or more to make this tool perfect.

BTW.. I have pushed a small upgrade after the feedback given to me by @DYING_S0UL.

Code:

** Logout Button**

I have added this button to reset the browser cache so that you can start with the onboarding again..

Thanks for your feedback, it encourages me to make this tool more efficient and promising. Please keep supporting me with your constructive feeback.

I have now passed a new version of my app. From version 9, it has been upgraded to version 9.5. I have added three more sub-tabs. The first one is Count Your Post under the GROWTH tab. The DISCOVER tab now has Forum Veteran Score and BTC explorer. I have also added a worker for robust and instant scraping purposes. Below is a summary created using an AI about these subtabs.

Code:

## [v9.5] - 2026-06-17

### Added

- **[Count Your Post]** Users can now pick a custom start and end date for This Week. Last Week is derived automatically as the 7 days immediately preceding the selected start date, removing the need for manual calculation. Post counts are scraped directly from the user's Bitcointalk post history on Sync rather than estimated.

- **[Forum Veteran Score]** New composite scoring system (0–100) auto-populated from synced profile data. Covers account age, post history, merit, and activity. Optional login time input (self-reported from profile page) unlocks a Commitment Bonus on top of the base score. Includes Veteran Rating Badge, Bitcoin Era Generation tag, Halvings Witnessed counter, Account Age Percentile, and a shareable Veteran Summary Card.

- **[BTC Explorer]** Live Bitcoin network dashboard powered by mempool.space. Includes real-time BTC price, block height, mempool transaction count, and fast fee rate refreshed every 30 seconds. Users can look up any Bitcoin address, transaction ID, or block height. Also ships with a Sats ⇄ BTC ⇄ USD converter using live pricing, a recurring Earnings Tracker for calculating historical USD→BTC campaign payments, and a Recent Blocks and fee tier chart.

### Changed

- Version bumped from `v9` to `v9.5`.
- Count Your Post disclaimer updated to clarify that Last Week is calculated automatically and that counts are pulled after Sync, not before.

It would be great if you could use the new version and come up with feedback on this thread. I am still working on it, and I will update this thread when I again upgrade this app to v10. You can check it if you check my profile as shown in my profile.

I have now passed a new version of my app. From version 9, it has been upgraded to version 9.5.

OP, I clicked the link in your profile but the version is still v9.



I noticed that the "↗ Open Local Boards on Bitcointalk" button in the Merit Lab tab, always redirect me to board 160, which is the Mining (Altcoins) board.
And then in the Forum Veteran Score tab, my Account Age Percentile is Top 1%.



Overall I think the tool is helpful, and I find it very easy to use. Hopefully these findings help you improve the tool more.

Maybe a caching issue? I checked the website and it shows 9.5 now.

Did you put your Local board when you're doing the onboarding process? If I understand it correctly you can input it manually there before you can click the link correctly. If you haven't done so then the option won't be active, CMIIW. maybe the auto-fetch fails to recognize the local board properly.

You're right, I checked just now and it's updated.

Yes, I chose Pilipinas local board. I even logged out and tested other local boards, and it still redirect me to board 160.

Thanks @Hashura and @joniboini for pointing out the local board linking issue. It has now been sorted out. While onboarding, if you select your local board, you will now get a link to correct the local board inside the Merit Lab tab.

And then in the Forum Veteran Score tab, my Account Age Percentile is Top 1%.

The calculation is done based on these factors:
1. Account Age
2. Merits
3. Activity
4. Rank
Everything is displayed in the form of cards when you check the Veteran score.

While onboarding, if you select your local board, you will now get a link to correct the local board inside the Merit Lab tab.

Is it only possible through that? Might be minor feature but I think it would be a good option if user can edit it after the onboarding is done. I can see it being repurposed to track other boards for example, or just switching to other local board because they know different languages.

[DYING_S0UL]

Hello Cointikka, I have a confusion here..inside your merit lab, it says no local board is selected and that I have to select it again through setup! Where exactly is this? I'm not seeing this option.

And what should a user do if they have't got a local board yet, but they do engage in local discussions through a local thread inside the other language section? Bangladesh, Pakistan still don't have any local boards yet, but they have a decent amount of users/activity/posts....

Edit: Sorry man my bad, i didn't realize i needed to log out to access the setup box...imo, you should just should just add a seperated option for adding local board and skip this setup process. Also keeping in mind, about the local threads, you should include an option to add local thread via their link...for those who still missing out a dedicated board.

[joniboini]

That's an interesting question. Have they tried to request one on Meta?

Adding an option with their link will change how the scrapper work I assume, but it's definitely an option. Although I'm not sure how effective it will in regard to helping people rank up effectively. Maybe tracking a dedicated thread to help gain merit is also an option.

[Cointikka]

@DYING_S0UL and @joniboini, thanks for your feedback.

During onboarding, when a user selects the local board from the dropdown menu, you will see these two options shown in the screenshot. The Other languages/locations will take you to the board ID: 11, which is where you will find those regions that do not have a dedicated local board. If a user selects Not in a local board then no local board links will be shown in the Merit lab tab.

About whether an option to change the board should be added to the same tab. I might add this feature in the future, but it is not my priority now.

I have pushed another upgrade without changing the version.

RankUp Tracker — Changelog
Topic Suggestions (Merit Lab & Merit Analytics)

Fixed: live news and Market Movers were sometimes suggesting altcoin topics (e.g. Solana, Dogecoin) for Bitcoin Discussion, where they don't belong and won't earn merit.
News headlines are now filtered for actual Bitcoin relevance — pure altcoin stories with no Bitcoin angle are excluded entirely instead of being routed to the wrong board.
Stories with an indirect Bitcoin angle (Fed/rate decisions, gold, ETF flows, institutional adoption, etc.) are now labeled as such and properly routed to Economics.
Market Movers-based suggestions now only appear when BTC itself is moving, or when there's a broad market-wide move worth a Bitcoin-angle post — isolated altcoin pumps no longer generate a suggested topic.
Topic suggestions are now routed by content type (technical → Development & Technical, mining → Mining, macro → Economics, general → Bitcoin Discussion) instead of always defaulting to one board.


Merit Analytics

Added sub-tabs (Overview / Boards & Threads / Topic Ideas), matching the Merit Lab layout, instead of one long scrolling page.

Known issue (not yet fixed)

Local Crypto News Headlines doesn't reliably surface local-language news — regional feeds are missing for several local boards, and when present they're often crowded out by global sources in the ranking. Fix planned for a future update.

I would humbly request you to suggest local news output web services to solve the issue with Local Crypto News Headlines. BTW.. I have used AI to create the changelog.
