I have a different question: why do you even log out?

I use multiple browsers. I tried switching solely to duck duck go and/or Firefox but can’t help but still use chrome. Chrome is not very “trustworthy”, of course, but good luck searching for btalk stuff (or damn near anything for that matter) via the duck duck browser and others. If I want to find “ satoshi escrow bitcointalk.org post” , chrome brings it up top link. Duck duck’s first few results are of Craig Wright claiming that he, “Satoshi” , never even posted on bitcointalk.

I and I’m sure others active on the marketplace boards would like to have their full profile viewable with out having to log in. As a “collector”, I buy/sell/trade on all sorts of sites and forums. My eBay and btalk user profiles are a way to help “prove” my trustworthiness with a potential trade partner. This is my selfish reason.

Non-selfish reason: Scammers need to be exposed. Plenty of scammer companies have profiles here. Imo it’s important to expose them as much as humanly possible. A public forum profile trust page is one way to be sure!

(Edit: I too have many times wished the same for viewable merit as well).

Do I understand right that there is no way to know which posts were merited? No tools to track who has merited you and for what. That's really sad, that'd be great to know!

You understand incorrectly. There are a number of tracking tools available internally, and externally from the forum. Here are just some them internally:

Variety of site wide metrics: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit
Your personal merit page: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=1550857

Your personal merit page will show you merit you have received, and sent recently. If you would like to check another users recent merit history you can check via the "Merit" link in their profile view. You can also amend that link I gave you, and replace your username ID with theirs. What this thread is discussing is the fact that the merit page isn't visible to those that aren't registered on the forum.

I am curious why would one logout, this is just my thought. It's been 3 year I believe I logout from this forum.

There is a logout button and people sometimes press it by mistake, so it gets logged out. Cheesy

By the way, the poll results are getting interesting. Wink

Why not?

That's what I am trying to understand, why one is usually used to logout from a bitcointalk account or any other media if he/she owns the device he used to log in.

Do TOR keep you logged in after closing the browser? I don't have idea about if it can be kept logged in by any way; at least I have no such known way.

Actually using chrome with a VPN.

I haven't tried this but isn't there a bpip extension? Does it help with your issue?

The extension doesn't do anything merit-related. It just adds some quick extra info to the forum (e.g if the user is on DT1/2 or banned).

Quote from: pugman on April 17, 2020, 03:50:33 PM

Well, you could maybe try keeping your account logged in on your phone? Then you can quickly check who merited who?

I get the anxiety that you get when you receive a merit, but its not something to lose sleep over. It has no actual gain, its just a number.

I know there are several working telegram bots that notify members about merit change,
and as you said we can visit BPIP website for more information.
It is workaround.

Do you use telegram bots/bpip to notify you about merits?

Quote from: The Sceptical Chymist on April 17, 2020, 12:11:24 PM

Maybe someone ought to create an app for smartphones, sort of a merit-alert checker or something. Just thinking out loud here.

Why not clickable bitcointalk link to merits? So no apps, "merit-alerts", just click and see who has sent you merit. I always want to see what post someone "liked". I just can't do that with one single click.

You got merited that clear to see, except you where waiting on a particular person to merit you knowing who is not so important not to wait till your next log in.

You can still access your most recent posts. Just open them all up, or the likely candidates and viola - who merited you will be revealed. Don't need to wait hours for bpip to load Roll Eyes

OP, you're not a cunt in my eyes and I'm not sure why that option got so many votes (lol). Anyway, getting merits doesn't give me much of a buzz since I can't rank up any higher. Maybe if Theymos created one or more new ranks above Legendary I'd be loving this idea, but as of now it's kind of meh. I used to check my status more than I currently do, but now I'm more focused on distributing merits than what I'm earning from posts.

Is my alt account logged in? You fake review prick, if I was logged in then I would have seen merit transactions therefore I wouldn't have created this topic, wouldn't I, you Bump?

So I just login since it my own account to know who sent it.

The thoughts always comes to life Everytime I see a merit, but it's only when I see it on my account, I don't get to curious to check other people Merit.
So I just login since it my own account to know who sent it.
As a guest there curiosity is to check out the forum, learn things and see the landscape of the forum and if they want more they register, and bpip is used more by registered members

Each time I am not logged in and I receive merits, I always have this thoughts in my head:

"where, where, who sent me merit, where, who, who...oh, here, why, why now, why"

Why do we have to be logged in to find out who sent us merits? I mean, we can go to https://bpip.org and find merited post, but can this be somehow implemented in forum, for "guests" I mean...?

Same, we don't really receive a lot of merits daily so getting a few would make you curious who give it and what post. A simple notification would be great to have.

Quote from: Maus0728 on April 17, 2020, 09:35:40 AM

I also have the same thought. It really gives a little excitement which causes curiosity to know who is that person appreciated your post.

When I received merit from other user, I am notified by the telegram bot made by giammangiato and I will go to my Profile => Merit to see who sent the merit. I don't see any other method aside from manually viewing it to your profile and to https://bpip.org.

I don't know about this Thanks for the tips I would love to try this.

Some things that are restricted to guests may be one of them is knowing the merit transaction history that we have received or sent to other users. For me, as long as we can still find out through the https://bpip.org site or monitor it through the telegram bot, I think there is no problem.

Quote from: Maus0728 on April 17, 2020, 09:35:40 AM

I also have the same thought. It really gives a little excitement which causes curiosity to know who is that person appreciated your post.

Although I also have such curiosity, but I have never used a telegram bot to monitor every merit provided on a post that I made. I will find out when starting activities in the forum. Checking profile and posting history are the main things I do when I start an activity in a forum. If there is an increase in the number of merit, I also take the time to check before responding to user responses on my previous post.

Meanwhile, if the advice from the OP is something that can be considered important for most users, then I also hope the admin can consider it. I like bright ideas to make the forum more friendly with anyone even though it is a guest.

Same here. I always check my merit history when I have received any new merits. Become curious from where, which post, who sent etc. Since it's not something trust related or there isn't any harm implement to view merit history even during logged out, so I think it's better to allow visit merit history for guest. So we will able to check it during logged out.

In a short word, we can say - "please enable view merit history for guest"
