Just another note here, when the bot is quoting a message which could not be verified, you should post a warning like ( failed to verify), otherwise everyone can stake a fake addresses and possibly scam people.
I guess you're talking about
this message.
Currently, the addresses "bc1" are not checked by the bot, it deals only with quoting and archiving.
Verification of these signatures is expected shortly.
Hello everyone,
This post is a translation of my French post.A small point on the bot is needed ( In this post, I will refer to points raised on the subject
FR and
EN ) !
So I had the opportunity to chat with Theymos about bot security.
In the end, he does not see the benefit of preventing the bot from deleting his messages.
In the sense, or, there are already people who take care of archiving the posts.
In addition to that, if needed, he is able to restore a deleted message up to two years back.
So starting from there, you have to know that from now on, I archive all the messages of the subject in question.
This archive can be found easily here :
https://signatures.bitcointalk.luc-mergault.fr/In addition to serving as an archive, this site allows you to perform a very basic search among all messages recorded on the subject.
History to ensure a little more the reliability of the bot and more globally of all the messages of the subject, I propose now a small very simple script, which allows whoever wishes to use it to be alerted by mail in case of suppression / edit the subject or are posted addresses.
This script allows anyone to help ensure the reliability of the messages on this topic ( The idea is that if you receive an alert, it makes sense to alert the forum ).
Note that deleted message detection is not yet in place on the script. In addition to serving as an alert script, it also allows you to archive all messages, and if you want to make this archive public !
For those who wish to install it ( Very simple ) :
https://github.com/luluwebmaster/bitcointalk-auto-verify-signatures-archive-and-alertIf you install the script, do not hesitate to provide the link to consult the archived messages, I would be happy to list it in the first post !
By the way I took the opportunity to install it on the machine of
Cryptos-Currencies.Com :
-
https://signatures.bitcointalk.cryptos-currencies.com/Note that this script is not fixed, and improvements must still be made ( Especially on loading archived messages ).It is now possible not to have his messages checked by the bot, simply by adding "no-bot" some by your post.
In addition to that, the bot supports Bech32 addresses using this method:
-
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-verify-segwit-signature-with-brainwallet-5198585The P2SH addresses are not yet, but the bot detects them.
It takes care of quoting and archiving messages containing messages signed from this type of address.
So much for this "small" point !
If you have other proposals, do not hesitate !
Hello everyone!
Little update of the project
Today, I have more or less finished the public bot ( Available on
Github ).
If you have installed it, I invite you to update it ( Please note that the DB will be reset given the structural modification of it for messages ).
I would like to recall an important point, if you have a VPS or a machine running H24, do not hesitate to install it, and share the link of archived messages, it would be a big plus for the security of the project !
And if you have installed the script, the same, do not hesitate to share the link, it would be great
Now, the bot also detects deleted messages, and you alert if you want !
I took the opportunity to detail a little more the README Github, so that it is more understandable ( If you have a question, do not hesitate ).
Also, tonight, I'll take care to update the first post of this topic to provide all the missing info since launching ^^
