I tried using that HTML code
what do you put in accounts potential activity?
I left it blank and selected
Post Activity = fair
Trust Rating = neutral
Accounts current activity = 84
Potential Activity = Huh

Result is = 0.0315BTC

I set:
Post Quality: Fair
Trust: Neutral
Account's Current Activity: 210
Account's Potential Activity: 607
am i wrong? i should leave account potential blank?

Edit: when i leave potential account blank the result is my account worth as 0.078 BTC.

I don't understand much codes but I will prefer this project to be concluded by releasing it as a GUI simple software and not in codes.

It sounds like he's planning to release it in the form of a web page you go to, input some information into textboxes, and then it'll give you a value for the account. We were just discussing how we'd go about coding it.

I was just able to whip the page up in Javascript (felt like doing it as a small project) and here's the result:

Code:

Account's Potential Activity:

Copy that code, save the file as a .html and test it out, seems to work as it should at least on my end.

I have been try your code in html, the algo is correct? Because when i try to input my account spec there, the price is worth 0.3 BTC Shocked

What a useful thing, now everyone no need to confuse about the account price here. Cheesy

Good job, keep working on it!

Just see this, and it is a good service

However, this will means a newbie of 14 activity, neutral trust and normal post quality worth 0.0105 BTC! Maybe you can adjust the algorithm?

Yeah, I noticed. I think it is going to have to be a logarithmic scale instead of linear. That will require some more time to figure out.

For now, I have a disclaimer Grin

In my personal opinion, GUIs are a pain for the programmer. You can't 'prefer' that the OP concludes it as a GUI, since it might mean extra work, especially if they weren't doing it for web, and they're doing it for free as a service to the community. GUIs require more time, effort, and maintenance. At least for non-web contexts, a command-line application is a completely reasonable way of doing things.

GUIs are a pain, but fortunately GWT is very helpful and this gui is incredibly simple. Here is a screenshot

The code is available on github now. You can browse the code at https://github.com/achow101/BitcointalkAccountPricer. Pull requests are welcomed as are donations to 16mT7jrpkjnJBD7a3TM2awyxHub58H6r6Z.
I will update when I get a server setup for the website. For now, you can download GWT, compile the code yourself, and do your own price estimation.

website will be awesome because it will be pretty easy to use.
The code you sent will be saves using ntepad, wordpad or pdf, sorry I am a complete moron when it comes to all these programme languages but I also have my great strength in some other areas.

Notepad/plain text (with .html extension). Absolutely NO useful programming languages are saved as wordpad's .RTF or as PDFs. None. Additionally, if you aren't experienced with programming, you shouldn't copy-and-paste random code that you can't check for security, if you cannot trust the author 100%.

Anyway, it seems that you might be using Windows. I suggest not doing so, for reasons of security.

Really cool project, only problem I see with it is that account prices seem a little high, but that's an easy fix. A cool final presentation of this project would be to put it on a webpage as you planned, and then have it automated by a bot. You insert your UID, click a button and then it'll estimate your account's value.

Like hexafraction mentioned, your original idea could easily be programmed with Javascript as well. I'm not sure how easy or feasible it would be to implement a bot with Javascript though, you might want to look into another language - it seems like lots of the sig campaign bots here are coded with PHP.

The problem is that I don't know javascript or PHP very well. What I am actually using is GWT which will convert my java code into javascript. It seems to work decently well.

Ah ok. If you decide to go the Javascript route eventually let me know and I can try and help you out if you run into any issues. Or, if you like, I can try and whip up the code in Javascript in the next day or so if you're interested.

This is a needed tool as from just watching some of the threads the pricing can be quite erratic

First of all you have really thought outside the box by bringing a scientific approach to account selling deals here rather than it used to be because people only wake up and place a sell/buy bid of their account and it could be higher or lower in value.
Thank you for bringing this in our life time.

How will this estimator work? I enter my UID on this webpage of yours and it reads all my posts and give me a value in bitcoin? Looking at the code you posted, every stat is manually entered. It can be done by a shared spreadsheet on google docs. Don't need an app for this.

You just enter the UID and my code will retrieve all of your stats. It will get your username, activity, post count, trust score, and calculate your potential activity from all of your posts under the "Show last posts" link in your profile. It can take a few minutes depending on the person since Bitcointalk limits me to 1 request per second. If you have hundreds of pages, then it can take a few minutes to request and process all of the data.

The code isn't done. What I posted was the algorithm.

Edit: Nice app by the sound of it. Agree with other comments, javascript is a more secure option for the users.

If setting up a server is impractical, you can use js which doesn't require server side configuration, but only changes to the page code itself.
