Topic: TIL Activity does not work on precisely 2 week intervals + interval timings - page 7. (Read 39960 times)

Can anyone advice me Why my activity currently stopped, it was good last week, Where I am I doing wrong cannot able to predict my posts  are 302 and still my activity stand still on 252, It would be really appreciable if you suggest and advice me regards to this, thanks.

wow i thinked we needed to post atleast once a day to get the 14 activity points if is just one day between 14 days sounds easy to  reach lol

It's you that doesn't seem to understand. You only need to make one post in each two week period to get the max of 14 points. It seems about half my posts in Meta are trying to explain this.

I don't think that deserves a serious answer so...

I too prefer to get my information about how the forum works from random third parties instead of staff.

No, it's ok, it's just contradicting this, hopefully hilariousandco can shed more light:


Thanks!

as i know you must post 1 post daily to achieve those 14 activity points i guess you didnt understood well... everyday needs just one post to reach 14 activity points

Wait, what? Every day? Is that correct? So if i go away for a week, then come back and post 14 posts the following week (assume I left last night when activity updated last), will I get 14 activity points on the next cycle or not?

well this way people who wanna reach above ranks must be active all days with one post to get 1 activity point daily soo in every 14 days they get into the balance of activity

The activity updating was changed twice over the past year or so with a new update fairly recently after the forum hack. Activity can now take a little longer to update but it shouldn't really be an issue. If you're active it will still update within an hour I believe.

My activity finally updated yesterday, 23rd June 2015 just as OP said. Activity is still only 28 which is a good bit lower than my posts but at least it's no longer stuck on 14. So from what I can understand I am going to have to wait until the 7th of next month until next time my activity catches up a bit with my posts.  

There's something I just can't understand though. With my old account "hanomnom" my posts and activity were always the same and used to update shortly after pretty much every post I made. Why is this new account so much slower at updating? I'm making about the same amount of posts per day as I did with the old account, maybe more.

I just want to understand as it is bugging me and I feel a bit stupid right now.

I'm most likely just misinterpreting the calculations or something. I apologize in advance for sounding like an idiot.

When will the time be fixed for the updates? every week the time is a little longer, cant it be set to an exact time every other tuesday?

I don't think anything drastic changed but activity takes longer to update now but the periods start the same as far as I'm aware.

Since that last big forum crash and hacking attempt, have something changed with the activity interval ticks? Because I feel like my list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Y0g2veNmItsgERWWqEtSuRtSExxQ3NJW1NOFq9GQC0U/edit is no longer accurate.

stay logged only means you spend x days on the website to get activity most post one daily to get 14 activity points that are the max.

Staying logged in or using autorefreshers has no effect your activity.

Guess i should not reveal a secret of many who stay logged in 24/7

Even when on vacation or sleeping !
lol

Write a script to refresh the page, or there are plugins that do so automatically i think for most popular browsers

Still no matter what 'grade' the forum has you noted as ,


Most want to get to higher levels to participate in the signatures that pay btc  , however,

some others have told me if you sign up for these and break the rules you can get suspended !!! lol or knocked down


I am not in any formal sig. lock in .......my signature is my own.....(but several have told me these facts are true)

Nothing wrong with the forum using this for advertising,  the forum must maintain itself and needs some revenue to pay the costs of keeping it going.

Also i used to think that hero members (when that was as high as it went) were 'automatically' experienced people with tech/btc/ everything.


Turns out not so , some casual visitors are at these levels and are not necessarly tech experts at anything (nothing wrong with that).

Also since some people 'sell' their sr and hero accounts, no guarantee the person posting now is 100% the same person who opened the account.

Actually i find only by reading what someone actually posts and perhaps multiple posts of theirs can you guage who /what level of knowledge/ ect..

you are dealing with.   

Great example: the lead developer of Blake Coin is one of the most talented coders I know of , and not just in cryptography, cryptocurrency, bitcoin, altcoins, ect...... the guy (bluedragon747 is his name)  is one of the f'ing smartest people I have ever run across on the web and I have been around a while (a lot longer than I have ever joined this forum vs. visit it) and even before this forum existed studying and learning a bit of this and that.

Turns out this man with activity 14 more than me actually is a solid programer in at least 20 to 25 languages !! (I have counted so far based on our conversations) 

He has done and still does 3d game development from the ground up.

He is an expert at programing from scratch fpga boards.

Oh and yea he can code in c++ too and could certainly hold a position equal to many of the talented people I see and read comments almost daily from the github of the bitcoin source code.  When he launched Blake Coin he was like me,  low activity so if I had judged him on that I would have made a grave mistake !! 

Food for thought to all who want to 'boost' (for each lol) your reputation !!!

Skills and accomplishments on github and involvment with real projects that are not scams can go a long way to getting you any real credability.

If that is not enough consider this:  There are three users of this forum I can think of off hand (I won't name them) who are just I think members or full members.  They rarely post anything.  BUT..... Each of them, when I was trying to figure something out and approached them totally blew me away with how much they knew that I did not know and were very helpful and none demanded btc up front.

There are some truly gifted and tanented people in these forums. 

Don't judge someone by their number of posts or their ranking. 

I used to think that way (I am a woman) so it seemed natural in a mostly male environment those with more 'stripes on their shoulders' must be the guys who knew it all and carried the most experience  / knowledge.  Not always true.....


There are certainly exceptions to this. Some people who are sr. members, hereo members or the new 'legendary' status are just as brilliant as their titles may suggest.  Want an example ?  Check out dreamwatcher !

His work on cce 4 (which he recently open sourced ) is a 'state of the art block crawler /explorer/ rich list / multi purpose / musts have tool for all coins has done some absolutly genius work. 

Look at this thread with some examples of his work.  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/open-source-cce-40-block-explorer-1088291

If you are involved with an alt coin how could you not want his version of a block crawler ??

I realize bitcoin has blockchain but if you can't get that , I think this is asbout the next best thing !!!

Still open sourced it is not easy !! I spent 2 hours last night fooling with it and don't have it working yet.

And I do have some experience with abe block crawlers (the old standard) which I can put together in about twenty minutes plus the time it takes a coins block chain to download so..... 


Have fun on the forum and don't 'read in' too much about someone's level , activity, rank  ect.....

See what they really know or what accomplishments they have.  If they have no accomplishments that may be cool too , not everyone publishes everything they know how to do around here !!   

In fact I think there are many who know how to do a lot of things who keep their 'secret recipe' just that !!

Have fun , make sure you leave (the real) Satoshi positive trust  !!!  lol

Thank's for your hel
i want to be active every week to collect my 14activity

I found this helpful, just put in your TZ up top, and it will show you when activity updates.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12saLhlUoqIdairxzuSPu6EYGrt7FN2lOstO1yDjCEbA/edit#gid=1324892580

The next activity period will start in more or less 21hours from now and you will have 28 activity by that. Remember the time and date, and count every 2 weeks the activity period will change again

You'll be a Junior on the 7th of next month. You can only get 14 activity points every two week period. Next one starts tomorrow and then every two weeks after that.
