I'm happy to announce my AI project is almost ready for beta testers. I made up my mind to program this exclusively using AI, and that is the reason it went way past my expected launch time. Sad

If you are interested in helping me test and suggest new features, please comment below. The only thing required is trust I haven't put any nefarious code in the extension, or trust in someone else who is able to confirm the code is safe.

What is Shadowpulse B? It is a bitcointalk subset version of my larger tool. A chrome extension (manifest v3) allows members to vote on their favorite Board, Topic or Post. It is cheat resistant and can be used if you are logged into the forum or not. It does not read/modify any HTML - it blindly inserts a frame at the bottom of the page once it loads. It does not require any registration and detailed stats will be available based on your extension member id (a random number with no association to you). I will be sending anonymized traffic stats to ninjatastic to compliment his post stats.

User tools include ninja search from any page, and current bitcoin price info (trend and 60m). I will monetize to pay for it by the text ads and add future options.

Edit: Wanted to add - first thing it does is check URL. If it doesn't start with bitcointalk.org, the extension stops. You can verify this easy by using Dev Tools (F12)

That is an interesting concept. I was quite curious about what project you were using AI for, in our previous discussions on a different topic.

But I do wonder what made you think that there was a need for an alternative to the merit system? Are there any problems it is addressing and what are the solutions that this tool brings?

The distributions of smerit might be too "controlled". I could perhaps agree with that. But would that necessarily mean that merited topics would be differently ranked with this new system? After all, a good topic is a good topic. The better a topic the more merits. Would a different ranking system look much different, aside from a few topics that have gained a disproportionate amount of merits due to being buddy buddy with higher-ups?

What about a system that ranks topics/posts on the amount of people from which the merits were received instead of a new ranking foundation, or the amount of merits received?
