This topic replaces
[WORKING] LoyceV's alternative for Piggy's @mention notification bot. It's self-moderated to keep the topic as compact as possible (for more efficient scraping).
If you used my notification bot in the past, and if you want to keep using it: please copy your original post into this topic.Results go here:
loyce.club/notifications/.

Notifications are not case-sensitive ("loycev" works as well as "LoyceV").
Limitations- I scrape each topic title only once (it's not the post title). If the topic title changes, it won't change in the Notifications.
- Updates aren't realtime. Currently, notifications are updated every 6 minutes. This may change in the future (depending on the required processing power).
- I only scrape this topic ones an hour. That means any changes you make to your settings take a while to show up. If a new post is made, I rescan the entire topic.
- Only notifications from the past 7 days are shown. Older notifications will be removed.
If you've just subscribed, you'll still get notifications from the past 7 days (retroactive). Changes in your settings also affect older notifications. - If there's a "$" in your username, I'll remove it from your name before searching for matches (this is why).
- Only unedited posts are checked. If your name is mentioned in a post later on, I miss it.
WarningDon't quote someone else's preferences (the ones within code-tags) in this topic. I don't excluded quotes, so you might accidentally "copy" and use someone else's preferences.
See [overview] LoyceV's useful data on Bitcointalk for more of my forum-related topicsAlternative[TELEGRAM] Yet Another BitcoinTalk Notification BOT (merits, mentions, topics,+)LoyceV's: Follow users on Bitcointalk.org (posts and/or topics)
- How does it notice your name? Should the name be written exactly as it is (e.g. LoyceV)? Or does it detect only if it's written with a "2" in front of the name (e.g. @LoyceV)?
I ignore most characters, but a "2" (so 2LoyceV) wouldn't be ignored and thus won't produce a notification. If you use @LoyceV, that works fine. Lower case works fine too, quotation marks and most other characters work too.
To be precise, I use
grep --word-grep:
--word-regexp
Select only those lines containing matches that form whole words.
The test is that the matching substring must either be at the beginning of
the line, or preceded by a non-word constituent character. Similarly, it
must be either at the end of the line or followed by a non-word constituent
character. Word-constituent characters are letters, digits, and the underscore.
I am asking this because I'm curious to see my earlier mentions, in case I missed any of them.
For performance reasons, I remove all input files older than 7 days for my notification bot.
- Can the bot be stopped to show your mentions, once you registered to it?
Yes. If you remove your post, updates stop within an hour. If you want me to remove
the file, I can do that manually.

Good to hear you have some helping hands.
