The counter
https://let.redcode.ukhas been implemented with the following changes, An auto refresh toggle and integration to scraper for allowing multiple threads to scrape without breaking any changes, one manual input is required on API level(disabled currently).got a few letter A.* domains there available, starting from $100 and mostly costing millions..
That's cool. So, you could just put any thread link there, and it would generate the results?
hehe that's what i'm talking about here around 12hrs later, that is about 1pm for me when it's really quiet here, or then again when i go eat dinner.. i guess hype dies down a bit when neither you, nor me are online..
yup, and once it starts scraping it just create another endpoint for the API with ThreadID and that ID can be reused on frontend without even doing any changes on codebase with the help of the input bar. The default threadID the frontend is requesting is currently set to this thread.
LOL! It does. I don't even remember posting that. Is that from today or yesterday?
and you would have made it on time if it weren't for @dustinc working the orders here.. i thought i wouldn't see page 100 before my sleep, but thanks to his diligence, it happened way sooner than anticipated.
depends on the tld and renewal price for me to act lol.
This looks awesome, giving @MrEd some competition XD
That is awesome. So, presently I am guessing it can only work with the LET software?
lol Ed's version is efficient while mine is just immature piece of junk built in a day or two?
This thread is all about competition, it seems
Yup but it's not that hard to repurpose it to work with any other bulletin system.
I do remember Ben was also building one last year, just for practice. He might have even shared a few screenshots of it, but, he did abandon it mid-way.
Functionality comes before optimization. Now you work on making it more efficient
If I am not wrong, the posts are identified based on html ids and classes, right? Or, is there a more efficient way to do this? A few years ago, I tested scraping to understand how it works and that was the method I used. It was inefficient on some websites and back then I wodnered if there was a better way.
Btw, if you guys are wondering what the next reval on the counter is, it's just an hourly sync log to validate the data in the database to see if the scraper missed any page due to some unforeseen circumstances(network outage, scraper being offline).
lol i think i did remember it and i guess he abandoned it after struggling with CF WAF.
Hi there!
i think .auto is really up there somewhere $2k, .country is similar high priced, it's when entities could pay that much for regular domain.. companies, countries, etc... .pr, .protection, .security, .sexy - OMG, .tm, .vana - for all the decentralized stuff, so probably startups?
def, it's already quite efficient in all the logic and scenario, the more efficiency i can think of it's limited due to CF WAF.
Probably. He was using Python from what I can remember.
Yes, everyone want to win the PC!
Yup it's all parsed from HTML dom and classes, some validation here and there though. I am also storing the posts in DB in case i want to include some SPAM score kinda analysis.
I just posted in the last page that I am going for the PC now, just to scare @bchot. He had just woken up, and I was feeling naughty, just wanted to pull his leg.
And, don't be mistaken, there's gonna be some heavy competition for the PC in a few days or within the next few weeks. Can't let your guard down, if you are aiming for it.
Cool!
What API are you gonna use for the SPAM score in the future if/when it's introduced?
i know you just yanking my chain..
PS i decided to get to the ongoing convo for now, since many people here.. i will go thru backlog of pages 104-114 later when all of you are asleep and i got nothing else to do.. so i will be active in the active posts for now..
otherwise it takes a long time to get to the top..
I mean this is going to be ridiculous if there are gonna be 10 people going for it XD
Tbh, my goal is not the pc but at least $200 of credits. If i win that, I'm happy.
