Most of cyber cafe computers are not safe. You never know if there are keyloggers or something like that installed.

By chance, I already thought about the possibility of setting up a cyber cafe.

But whenever I look at this situation, this is what comes to mind - how safe would that be for my clients?
The conclusion I reached was that the only solution would be to create a virtual environment for each client, which would be eliminated when he leaves.

I never came up with an idea. But, to create such a space, I would have to create a system that would provide security for all clients.

Or you could try going in some internet cafes or place that rents you computer and internet access, people usually use them for playing games or talking with relatives from other countries.

I wouldn't trust those to enter server passwords though.

Yeah… judge me, but I did input the password for my TAP (Portugal’s airline) account in one of those computers and I got hacked a few days later. Coincidence or not, I’m not doing that anymore. Grin

Most of cyber cafe computers are not safe. You never know if there are keyloggers or something like that installed. In my country, many people reported that their account was hacked after using it in an internet cafe. But whenever police go there for investigation, they say since various customers use the computer, it's possible that some hacker rent the computer for an hour and set up his viruses for victims.

So, it's somewhat impossible to catch who is a real hacker. The cafe does not install a Close circuit camera because of privacy. Isn't it funny? They do not install cameras for privacy, but accounts are getting hacked Tongue

Well, I actually really like traveling slowly and long term. Last time I spent 8 months, doesn’t mean I’ll do that again but I just go with the flow so I never know. Will probably just buy a new laptop at some point, just avoiding that for now since I usually go with the higher ends and don’t feel like spending $1k+ to fix a couple lines of code. Tongue

I wouldn't waste money on junk laptops, but maybe you could look for good old Thinkpad used laptop and use it later as a cold storage, they are almost indestructible military grade T series with amazing keyboards.
Hope you are enjoying your vacation Cool

Don't talk the talk, if you can't walk the walk.

wow I haven't noticed that it was a telegram bot that could help you to track things like if somebody quote you and stuff like that. this forum really has smart and high tech people.

Thank you for this TryNinja, will make everything so much much easier!

If there's one thing I've learned while traveling: the less you bring, the less you have to worry about

In your scenario, I'd pick up a $100 laptop at the local Craigslist (although this might be difficult if you're in, say, Antarctica). All I'd look for is an SSD, 8 GB RAM, working battery and low-power CPU. Install your favourite Linux distribution, encrypt it, and use it without worrying too much about breaking or losing it on your travels. Then buy the $1k+ laptop when you settle down somewhere long-term.
I miss the days I could travel for months!

You shouldn't worry about it. But I am curious about how long your vacation is. Anyways, Enjoy your summer vacation!

Pretty interesting. That's what happens when programmers make money while they sleep. Or work one month and enjoy the rest eleven months! Cheesy

If you like long-term and slow traveling, you might consider carrying your laptop. Or maybe it doesn't give you a proper vacation feel if you work on your laptop Tongue

Haha, just kidding.

But I cannot imagine traveling for eight months. I traveled for ten days last December and was already missing my friends and family. Ocean and mountains always attract me. But I am bad at hiking because of my weight.

Just to make sure, you received a notification for X merits correctly and the next day you got that same notification again?

Yes. You got it correctly. I received a notification for X merits correctly and the same notification again. This thing happened before, and we adjusted it. I do not see any other reports here. Probably people do not care about it, or maybe they did not crosscheck whether they received the merits.

I haven’t done anything… still on vacation.
Sorry for the issues, but please bear with me. Tongue

Once again, I received a notification of merit that I received yesterday. This happened exactly 5:59 AM Local time here, which is 11:59 PM UTC. I checked the notification twice and then checked the forum. Then I realized it was a glitch notification that I had received twice, and my merit count was also affected.

Probably TryNinja started doing something? Or are you still on Vacation and have yet to buy a new laptop? We have to use the famous /setmerit command again.

I come to know about this bot and trying it for the first time. I found it very easy to configure and interactive too. My motive is to get a notification whenever anyone posts in the Pakistan local thread, i get a notification. I hope it will work that way.
Also, i have configured it for merits and mentions.

So, this is the first time you use this bot?. I don't know the reason why you didn't use this bot when it existed for quite some time already and I have been using it since. Since there's no board for Pakistan like the others but there's a board where there's a pinned thread for other countries that doesn't have their own official board in the forum. Actually, you can track the thread using the bot.

First, go to other languages/locations located near the bottom of the forum. Second, open the Pakistan thread and copy the link which is this, https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pakistan-232519. Third, go to your telegram and open the bot. Fourth, type /menu or you can just click it then open tracked topics. Fifth, click the "Add New" and then it will ask you the url of the thread and paste the link.

I could code something to manually check all profiles (last time I checked it was only 500+ users) and correct their merit count

It's still not perfect: the Merit count in a profile doesn't instantly update after receiving Merit. Testing this earned me a "Sorry, you have been blocked" from Cloudflare when using Shift-reload a couple of timse.

That’s right, but the idea was to check profiles at moments when no merit tx could be involved, so the count would probably be correct. Could even check twice (i.e another time after ~30 min) to make sure data is correct.

BTW, many members are using the bot with incorrect merit counts due to a recent Cloudflare issue. Eitheir they did not notice, or they don't know how to fix it. Is there any chance you can fix it by bulk for all active users? TryNinja

That should be possible: I have all theymos' Merit data dumps, up until last Friday morning. Tomorrow morning it's updated again, and if TryNinja finds the cut-off in Recent merit, that should give the updated total of earned Merit for each user.
It gets a bit more complicated if you still need the airdropped Merit for each user though.

Or just ask the BPIP guys: Most earned merit seems to be correct.

Unfortunately everyone will have to run the well known /setmerit command.

It sometimes happens, but there is a solution.

In the message box of the notification bot, try entering this and hit send

Code:

/set merit 576

Solving an error with another error! Cheesy

His actual merit is 575 Wink
