It was the Bitcointalk forum that inspired us to create Bitcointalksearch.org - Bitcointalk is an excellent site that should be the default page for anybody dealing in cryptocurrency,
since it is a virtual gold-mine of data. However, our experience and user feedback led us create our site;
Bitcointalk's search is slow, and difficult to get the results you need, because you need to log in first to find anything useful - furthermore, there are rate limiters for their search functionality.
The aim of our project is to create a faster website that yields more results and faster without having to create an account and eliminate the need to log in -
your personal data, therefore, will never be in jeopardy since we are not asking for any of your data and you don't need to provide them to use our site with all of its capabilities.
We created this website with the sole purpose of users being able to search quickly and efficiently in the field of cryptocurrency
so they will have access to the latest and most accurate information and thereby assisting the crypto-community at large.
@LoyceV, I don't know if I was daydreaming at that time or not, but it's like I saw you had some archiving tool for the forum's seclog after certain time intervals and had a record of the archives somewhere on your website, though I can't see any link?
Sorry for bumping this topic... it happens to talk about some archives. @LoyceV, I don't know if I was daydreaming at that time or not, but it's like I saw you had some archiving tool for the forum's seclog after certain time intervals and had a record of the archives somewhere on your website, though I can't see any link? Any pointers?
Update As of today, all Trust pages can be archived. Just copy the URL you want to archive. Without offset, only the first 50 pages are shown. The default initial offset starts at "50", and shows feedback 51-550. In many cases uses have less than 500 feedbacks in total. If you change the offset to 0, it shows feedback 0-500. Note that you'll have to archive "trusted", "untrusted" and "sent" separately.
Just one note, the results can be arranged by date by default. Now they are arranged by name and you have to ether scroll to your name or search for you ID.
I was in doubt what to do: short-term, arranging by date makes it easier to find back your new archive, but long term, the current sorting shows all archives from the same profile on different dates together:
Yeah, I got both archives pretty fast. Just one note, the results can be arranged by date by default. Now they are arranged by name and you have to ether scroll to your name or search for you ID. Sure the 3rd option is to arrange them by date manually, as what I did.
As I understand I cannot archive both trust and profile in the same post, right?
Correct. I took the lazy approach to stop searching after the first hit. I hope to one day get a nice user interface instead of scraping the forum for entries.
... I feel like a spammer here . With two consecutive posts.. ill remove one as soon as I see the result.
I used a thread in archival for testing, but I had to move the entire thread before I could delete the posts. It shouldn't take long though, you can delete your post after at most 8 seconds.
Is there any reason why you don't save the full page with all the css, js and images? If you need some help, I might be able to help you, though I only work with node.js.
For the purpose of archiving evidence, I have the most important part covered. I wouldn't know how to archive all the extras, and I currently don't have the time to figure it out. I'd appreciate the help, but I know nothing about node.js.

In the profile page avatars seem to be the only image with relative link, so you can just save them to /useravatars.
Saving the avatar shouldn't be that difficult. When I have some time to kill, I'll move to a VPS and continue there.

Yep, seems to work well! If future, maybe sending a PM may not be a bad idea (to notify of URL). Unsure if posting a reply as the bot may work as well (but may get a tad bit spammy)
I was expecting people to archive Trust-pages, not profiles.

As lazy hobbyist, i'd recommend water.css or tacit.
Thanks I'll keep this for when I have loads to time to figure it out.
*I have much more work on my TODO list: archive pages including images, and a hidden section for archiving Investigations, but don't expect this anytime soon.
Interesting. So it's basically the LoyceBot user LOL
By the way, people say you are AI, bot blab blab. I think you are a good data analyst and a developer who is interested in developing tools to read their data.
Another good work and this is impressive to me than anything else you have done in the past.
It has to be a new post, I don't detect edits. You can delete or edit the post after a short period of time. After about 10 seconds, go to http://loyce.club/archive/ for the result.
I'm testing my own little version of "archive.is", exclusively for Bitcointalk (see the reason why). There's one crucial difference: I save pages logged in, showing trust on DT2.
The current version only allows archiving of profiles and trust pages.
How to use it Post LoyceClubArchive followed by the URL anywhere on the forum (on a public board) without code-tags, and substitute the profile or trust page you need. Post one line like this (it's okay if it's part of a bigger post):
Code:
LoyceClubArchive https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=459836 or LoyceClubArchive https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=459836 or LoyceClubArchive https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=459836;page=sent;offset=0
It has to be a new post, I don't detect editing. You can delete or edit the post after a short period of time. After about 10 seconds, go to http://loyce.club/archive/ for the result. If the list becomes long: use CTRL-F (until I create a search feature). To sort files by date, use http://loyce.club/archive/?MD (newest first).
Update As of today, all (paginated) Trust pages can be archived. Just copy the URL you want to archive. Without offset, only the first 50 pages are shown. The default initial offset starts at "50", and shows feedback 51-550. In many cases users have less than 500 feedbacks in total. If you change the offset to 0, it shows feedback 0-500. Note that you'll have to archive "trusted", "untrusted" and "sent" separately.
I use shared hosting, but keep local backups of all files. You can use any other archive website to archive http://loyce.club/archive/ again.
Disclaimer I'm still testing this, if something fails, I might delete files.
Limitations Only 1 URL per post. I use Amsterdam time, not forum time. Quotes are not ignored: if you quote a post with an archive link, it will be archived again. It should work most of the time, but if my scraper doesn't catch your request within a few seconds, my computer might be offline. In that case: just try again later. I don't archive images (yet), so the avatar doesn't show in the archive. I don't have the skills to create an nice GUI such as archive.is has. If someone wants to help that's much appreciated, until then, it's all about the data There's a 10 minutes delay before the same page can be archived again. Old versions will not be overwritten when the same page is archived again. You can't archive LoyceBot (this would expose it's email address). Theymos made some Trust changes. Until I improve things, only the first Trust page can be archived. As of today, all Trust pages can be archived.
