Answers for every tool in Cointikka — pick a category below to jump straight to it.
Cointikka is a free suite of tools for Bitcoin holders and Bitcointalk users — it helps you track and plan your progress on Bitcointalk, from Newbie all the way to Legendary, plus standalone Bitcoin calculators and utilities. No sign-up is required — you just enter or auto-fetch your stats and start using the tools.
Everything is stored locally in your own browser — nothing is uploaded to a server. If you want to start fresh, use the ⏻ Logout button in the topbar, which clears your saved data and returns you to setup.
Bitcointalk itself only updates activity and merit counters once per hour on its own servers. Syncing immediately after posting will not show the new activity — check back in about 60 minutes and sync again.
Merit is what other members — especially designated Merit Sources — award you for quality posts. Half of the merit you receive becomes sMerit, which you can then send on to other members yourself.
A couple of tools unlock at a certain rank because that's when they become genuinely useful. The Signature Campaign Tracker unlocks from Member rank onward, and BBCode Image Studio unlocks from Full Member rank onward. Keep building activity and merit to unlock them.
Activity, Merit, sMerit (sendable merit), and Total Posts — each with a short sub-label and, for Activity and Merit, a progress bar toward your next rank.
The checklist surfaces simple daily actions worth doing. The Rank Requirements table lists every rank with its Activity and Merit thresholds and shows your current status against each one.
A visual ladder from Newbie to Legendary with your current position marked, so you can see at a glance how far you've come and what's next.
They break out your progress toward the two separate requirements — Activity and Merit — for your next rank. Like everywhere else, these only reflect what Bitcointalk has processed as of your last sync, which happens on their side once per hour.
Local Board (regional news & discussion topics), Topic Suggestions (rank-matched ideas for global boards), and Merit Guide (how merit actually works, step by step).
Live crypto news headlines for your selected region, plus a "Market Movers" feed from CoinGecko showing coins moving significantly in the last 24 hours — both are meant as potential discussion topics for your local board, and both are refreshable.
They generate rank-matched topic ideas for merit-active global boards like Bitcoin Discussion or Economics, based on your current rank plus live news and market movement. Each idea carries a 🟢/🟡/🔴 tag showing whether that topic is underserved, actively discussed, or already well-covered.
Roughly: receive 10 merit → you can send 5 sMerit → the recipient gets 5 merit → they can then send 2 sMerit onward. Merit Sources are the ones who create fresh merit, from a limited monthly budget.
Analyze is facts only — your journey, statistics, trends, history, and consistency. Insights turns those facts into meaning — hidden progress, milestones, and observations you might have missed. Perspective is the "why keep going" layer — long-term trajectory, plateau explanations, and a summary built entirely from your own historical data.
Your cumulative Merit Score, the merit still needed for your next rank, your Merit-per-100-posts efficiency, and your percentage progress toward the 1,000 merit required for Legendary.
It's all generated automatically in the background from your synced stats — there's nothing to fill in yourself on this page.
activity = min(periods × 14, total_posts), where a "period" is a distinct 2-week window in which you've posted since registration, capped at 14 activity per period. Bitcointalk updates this hourly.
It shows the balance between how much you post and how much merit that posting earns — useful for spotting whether you'd benefit from posting less but with higher quality, or vice versa.
An estimate of how many additional posts you'd need to satisfy the Activity requirement of each upcoming rank, based on the formula above.
Your posting velocity (posts per week) and average merit per month. Merit per month is auto-filled from your synced data but can be edited manually if you want to model a different pace.
It's a straight-line projection built from your live synced stats plus whatever inputs you give it — a useful planning estimate, not a guarantee, since real-world posting and merit rarely arrive in a perfectly steady line. Sync first for the most accurate starting point.
It's "sync-verified" — computed only from real movement in your synced Activity score across at least two syncs performed on different days. It's not a self-reported click, so it can't be gamed by just opening the app.
Yes — alongside the built-in Daily Goals checklist, you can type in any custom goal (like "post a guide on Bitcoin security") and add it to your list. "Reset all" clears the daily goals if you want to start over.
It unlocks from Member rank onward, since it's built around signature campaign tracking, which is typically only relevant once you can join campaigns at that rank.
Count Your Post gives you This Week / Last Week totals plus by-board and day-by-day breakdowns. Check Your Post gives you a detailed, searchable and sortable log of the individual posts behind those numbers, with direct links to each one.
You pick the start and end date for This Week yourself. Last Week is calculated automatically as the 7 days immediately before This Week starts.
Yes — both tabs are built from a scrape capped at your last 5 pages (~100 posts), and the data isn't saved between visits. If your selected range reaches further back than that, older posts in range simply won't show up.
They filter the opportunity list by type, so you can focus on just signature campaigns, bounty programs, or community games and rounds.
Yes, it's fetched directly from the forum. Use the ⟳ Refresh Live Data button any time to pull the latest campaigns and bounties.
A single ring score that summarizes your overall profile strength — activity, merit, and posting patterns combined — based on your synced data.
Specific, actionable suggestions generated from your current metrics — flagging the areas where small changes would move your profile forward the most.
It lines your stats up against the requirements of nearby ranks, so you can see exactly what separates you from the next one.
Automatically, on a 0–100 scale, purely from your synced profile data — there's nothing you need to enter for the base score.
It's a self-reported value you copy from your own Bitcointalk profile page (formats like "3 days 16 hours" or "100h" work). Entering it unlocks a separate Commitment Bonus section — it does not change your base 0–100 score.
Fun context derived from your account age — which era of Bitcoin's history you joined the forum in, and how many halving events have occurred since your registration date.
Yes — a shareable Veteran Summary Card is generated for you at the bottom of the page.
Bitcoin Explorer for looking up addresses, transactions, and blocks; Converter; Earnings Tracker; and Fee.
Current BTC price with 24h change, the latest block height and time, live mempool transaction count and size, and the current fast fee rate in sat/vByte.
It unlocks from Full Member rank onward, since it's built for post images, topic/ANN banners, and sponsored image campaigns — things that typically only become relevant from that rank.
Ready-to-paste BBCode image code, with support for custom dimensions per destination — no need to hand-write the tags yourself.
Yes — drag and drop several files in, then switch between them using the file chips before generating your code.
