New to Bitcointalk? This may help

[Cointikka]

I created a free tool for everyone who is trying to rank up. I have created a thread on the Project Development board. I am posting the link to the thread here for you guys to come and check the tool. This tool is designed and developed for the new members who struggle to understand activity points, merit requirements, and what is needed to rank up on Bitcointalk


1. The link to the topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5584094.0
2. The link to the free tool is: https://dry-mouse-8ee9.cointikka.workers.dev/

★ I would recommend that you use the thread link before trying the tool to understand how onboarding works. I would recommend that you check the FAQ to understand why this tool can help you to rank up.


The tool is completely free and is privacy-focused, as all your data is stored locally. I would appreciate feedback from newer members. What features would you like to have, and for those who are using this tool, what feature would have helped you when you first started on Bitcointalk?

I appreciate you efforts building such a tool and how you spend time thinking about the community. You are a good forum user with less than one year activity.

However, I don't see a great utility for this project. Tracking the rank-up isn't something interesting in general but for those joining the forum just to rank up and join a signature campaign, which is not the sole purpose from joining a public forum. In my opinion, I think such a tool will prevent users from using the forum in an organic natural way and will limit their focus in just ranking up. No offense, I hope you don't think my thoughts are negative, I am just telling my honest opinion.

However I read in the project development topic that you are working in developing a tool to detect scammers and alts accounts from the reputation board. I am excited to see and test the tool. Good luck 😉

Appreciate your effort, but why build something that is already available by default for the public? I could simply visit "https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile" and see my progress!

When an user starts his forum journey, he should focus more on learning, observing and contributing, not just run after merits or ranking up. And as he spends more time here, he eventually learns the rules and rank requirements. Ask anyone whether they ever memorized any of these info, like rank up requirements, activity, merit count etc. I believe nobody does that, it just gets into your mind on its own..

First of all, I would say well done on this project. It is good to build things and try out new ideas.
I have checked the development board as well as this board and I have seen the very constructive criticism, do not be discouraged they only mean one thing that you should think about, how is this tool different from the others out there and what can you do differently to or add to it to make its function different from the others rather than reinventing the wheel?

Think about it and do not take it personal.

First up, thumbs up for the effort you put into creating the tool nevertheless if I'm being sincere in my opinion I don't think understanding how ranking up works is that difficult. Rushing to understand it as a genuine newbie isn't feasible for most of them and the truth is the longer you stick around the better you understand it.

It would be interesting if you added more information to the site or better still if it automatically scraped data with just your UID though I'm not sure if that's how it works since I only visited the home page and haven't really tested it out but I should later on.
