I love this thread and would like to get some more ideas since I have a lot of extra time to program. So far the main task seems to be an "auto bumper". I have made a program in Python that logs in and posts to a specified thread with a specified message (support for multiple messages / random selection).

Example:

Login: username, password

Post: topic, random msg => [msg 1, msg2, msg3]

I still need some input for this last part: do you want it to be standalone? Meaning that you would have something to schedule posts? I think that having a program running all the time is a bit of a hassle so I'm unsure what to do at this point. Also, as far as bumping goes, would it be every 24 hours or every 24 hours ONLY if there hasn't been a reply?

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Sounds awesome. I agree, needs to be standalone. Should be ever 24 only if no other reply/bump imo... Cheesy

I'm trying to find someone to write a script to help me prune my watchlist - unwatching topics I don't care about, but on boards I should monitor is a real fucking pain in the ass. Open thread, click unwatch, close tab or go back twice. fucking a drives me crazy daily lol. I'd pay .005 for that one! Tongue

Thanks!

Sure I can definitely do that, wouldn't be intrusive at all as it runs completely headless (using python requests, basically fastest possible), could you PM me some more details on that, I'd love to make it

Edit:

So far I the script scrapes topic titles + specified links (amazingly takes .5 seconds), example output:

Code:

[["Don't Judge a Book By Its Cover ", 'https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5167698.0;topicseen'], ["Impossibility of a gambling system (Why methods don't work)", 'https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5167303.0;topicseen'], ['Windice.io Signature Campaign(1 open slot)', 'https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5118542.0;topicseen'], ['REEE: [US Only] Impeachment Vote', 'https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5168188.0;topicseen'], ['How to safely store big amounts of BTC?', 'https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5152308.0;topicseen'], ['Something I noticed when sending USD from Coinbase to my bank account', 'https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5166175.0;topicseen'], ['Bitcoin trading is a big challenge. ', 'https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5163840.0;topicseen'], ['Which countries are more friendlier to crypto?', 'https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5152015.0;topicseen'], ['I think a lot of people just missed their chance', 'https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5113317.0;topicseen'], ['People who gamble are degenerates, change my mind.', 'https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5117386.0;topicseen'], ['Bitcoin can go to 42000$???', 'https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5168445.0;topicseen']]

You currently have 11 topics in your watchlist.

Then I added an "unwatch" function which currently accepts either topic link or topic #, this is just for single use as of now but it's scalable.

Output:

Code:

Successfully unwatched topic: [I think a lot of people just missed their chance]

I can pretty much do anything going forward, whether it's inverse (you only input threads you want to keep) or even keyword oriented. Just let me know!
