TIL Activity does not work on precisely 2 week intervals + interval timings

[Muhammed Zakir]

Any way to quickly convert this to different time zones? Any websites which I can enter unix time as a list and it will return the time zone I specify or something similar?

http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm . There are other websites, just search...

Implemented !

On the top of the screen is a "Time zone" that anyone can access and edit.

The format needs to be "HH:MM:SS.mmm", where HH is hour, MM is minute, SS is second, and mmm is millisecond.

If you need to, for example, convert to GMT -8, you need to make it -08:00:00.000

Here is a list of all the ACCURATE start dates of the 14 day periods till 2060 !

I wonder how did you get this informations

I wonder how did you get this informations

For example, the current period (period 1170) starts when the unix time = 1170 * 1210000 = 1415700000, which is Tue, 11 Nov 2014 10:00:00 GMT

This is period #1135. Period #1136 will start in about 11 hours, when the unix time 1374560000 % 1210000 == 0.

Apparently , the activity changes every 1210000 units of the UNIX timestamp.

This equates to 14 days , 6 minutes , 40 seconds.

This means , after 3026 2 week periods , you would expect to gain 42364 activity.

But no , you would get only 42350 activity.

TLDR; Every 116 years you will lose out on 14 activity. Sad right ?

In order to make this thread more productive, here are some of the next timings :-

FAQs of the Activity system
(All of these can be found stickied in the Meta , but just in case)

Q : How is activity calculated ?

The activity number is determined in this way:
time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)

Q : Help ! My activity (or rank) has not activated yet , even though I have sufficient posts and have posted in sufficient time periods !

So much precision, very nice!

It means I will become a Senior Member on November 25 and a Hero Member on July 21 2015 if I post every period

The next activity change should be Today at 10:06 but if it was UTC time it should have happened already!?

[hilariousandco]

It has. You just need to wait up to an hour for the activity to update.

Lolwut? What was it banned for?

[Muhammed Zakir]

Lolwut? What was it banned for?

I was a troll when I came here. I was trying to increase my rank. I got banned because of spamming. Then I waited for ~2 months, after that I created new account and started reading before posting.

My banned account : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=260095

It is honest of you to come out saying you are the same person that used to spam

[cinnamon_carter]

Honestly this system may be more difficult to figure out than hashing a block with pen and paper

Are you sure lol?
You should watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3dqhixzGVo and repeat what the guy has done yourself, and compare the process with the activity formula.
