BitCoinTalk hidden pages - undocumented features

[SebastianJu]

Interesting. Didn't know alot of these links. Guess you find something new even after years of being online at bitcointalk.

Edit: Wasn't there a link that shows all the recent unread threads that you get notifications for? The feature in the profile shows all links but I want to see the threads with new answers. I can't find it anymore or wasn't there such a feature?

First line highlighted. Is that what you're looking for?

Damn..I felt like a bad ass when I found this thread. Now every Tom, Dick and Harry will know the secrets of forum.
This usually showed up searching seclog.

[apoorvlathey]

Well, thanks for all these interesting links and secrets of this forum.
I want to ask how you guys were able to find these links which are not mentioned on this forum ?

[SebastianJu]

Edit:

Found another link that I did not know yet.  https://bitcointalk.org/gettopics.php?user=1 (replace with your user ID)

It shows the threads a certain user created with his user.

That shows ALL the new posts from the whole forum. But I was told in the meanwhile the link that I was searching. It was https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=watchlist

It shows only posts you are in relation with. Which is quite usefull. Till now I always used the emails I receive but for some reason I occassionally miss an email or an update. Which led to me checking the notifications tab in the profile. Though that shows all the threads I get notifications for, regardless of if there is a new answer. With 65 pages it was a hassle to click through.

So that link is a timesaver.

I'm not sure if it's worth to put it in the first post here, I did not found it on my own though I thought I have seen something like that before. Might be others search such link too and I think it is really usefull...

What does "woke up" mean on this page? https://bitcointalk.org/seclog.php

Today at 07:18:47 PM - Bitium - woke up
Today at 07:04:05 PM - MarKusRomanus - woke up
Today at 07:04:00 PM - MarKusRomanus - password reset via email
Today at 06:58:42 PM - robertdivaio - woke up

Apologies to the users names above being used as examples. I just copy & paste the first four names on the list is all.

The trust page reflects the following message:

This user recently woke up from a long period of inactivity.

I am not sure how much inactivity is needed for this to be reflected.

Thanks, Q. I kinda thought it meant something like that, but wanted to ask just the same. It looks like its first use was on March 22, 2017.

WAIT! Then how do you explain this?:

Today at 06:17:05 PM - ZeusbyAH - woke up
Today at 06:16:21 PM - slfmde - woke up
Today at 06:16:20 PM - ZeusbyAH - password reset via email

Shouldn't the times be reversed (ZeusbyAH)?

Okay, I figured it out maybe. These accounts could be compromised, for I was just contacted by one of them dormant accounts offering up a service.

Please look into this. Or let me know if I'm a crazy fuck.

I have taken time to go through these undocumemted secrets and I thinks they are very useful for members of this forum. Good work, keep up!

It shows up if a user has logged in with their last login time being at least 6 months ago.

I believe a password reset can be done before a login event, which is why the times are like this in the log.

I'd speculate a lot of the accounts waking up are indeed compromised but not all.

There is another page I am trying to find that shows you a list of what topics online users are looking at, I cannot find it right now though.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=who

Effectively useless because of the "Guest" accounts and high volume.
Remove them and it would probably be usable.

Anyway i knew of many of these for years.

I didn't finish reading this all yet but i have a handy one i think.
And a curiosity..
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=credit;unproxyban
That one did not always look the way it does NOW.
I have a screen cap i got from a guy on Poloniex way back that showed a blocked message + fee request for unblocking.
I also tried it back then and seen it load live.. i still have the picture and the users name and date from Polo too.
(Source = balance.ninja 10/14/2014 Poloniex chat box)

This one helps looking up a user
https://bitcointalk.org/gettopics.php?user=138471
Obviously change the UID to the one you want to look up.
Such as #2 or #3 

This one i found via Google way back..
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=drafts
It saved my ass from a browser crash and losing everything i had typed up.

theymos has plenty i am sure.

Dude, I found another one thanks to spoetnik: https://bitcointalk.org/twinkies&cookies.php?user=138471

By the way I'd post the image in question but anytime i have in the past in would mysteriously vanish later.
I suspect someone here was blocking it.
And yeah i did all kinds of things.. i had to.
It was flagged.
Not at first but later on..

So the next time i tried to post it.. it would show the classic error msg.
So i would change the file name and size and even the format and re-post..
then it would end up blocked again later.

So yeah of course i still have the picture and yeah duh.. of course theymos doesn't want it posted LOL
..so i won't bother.

and it's pizza and cookies GAMOW !!!!11
It will be pretty quick anyway.. I'm gettin' hungry.  


EDIT:

Well i google searched the email address used in the picture and i guess i just found theymos's name  

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195037.msg2234133#msg2234133
That is an unrelated topic i think that mentions that exact message i see in my picture from Polo.
If you Google the 2nd half of the email address it comes up with a name fast in Google with links to other emails and domains etc.

Ooops my bad i guess i just Doxxed theymos

I'm not saying that I'm lost, but I'm lost, bud. What image are you referring to? At least PM me the answer if not posting it here. Is it the one where theymos is donning genjix's dress?  <odd joke, with apologies if you don't get it>

https://bitcointalk.org/trust.txt.xz is updated weekly; you could monitor that.

Thx to Theymos!  Shows who trusts who.  No date/time stamp though.

Might not be a hidden link but still a useful function theymos told me some time ago. When visiting a forum you can sort the threads by the last answer in the thread, but sometimes one wants to check out the new threads only. When attaching ;sort=first_post;desc at the end of a forum link the threads will be sorted for the time the OP was created. No interference with later posts.

Example:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0;sort=first_post;desc
