<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lane Walker, post: 4010900, member: 92357&quot;]The first thing I&#039;ll admit is that this is not a topic for someone that is adversed to technology. I fully understand that I am solving problems that I face as a collector using tools in my toolshed and am aware this isn&#039;t for everyone. With that said, the technologies I&#039;m experimenting with *can* solve some real problems and for anyone that isn&#039;t afraid of a little tech - I welcome your insight, ideas, and feedback!</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a continuation of a previous post that I made about using the Reddit and PixelStix as a smarter way to attribute coins. <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-different-approach-to-attributing-coins-using-reddit-imgur-and-pixelstix.352598/#post-3974066" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-different-approach-to-attributing-coins-using-reddit-imgur-and-pixelstix.352598/#post-3974066">You can read that here</a> I wanted to make another post with updates and pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m happy to report that I&#039;ve been successfully using Reddit and PixelStix to acheive a much smarter attribution process for my personal collection and I&#039;m very happy with the results so far.</p><p><br /></p><p>A couple of highlights since my last update:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. I created a PixelStix that can be written on for the purpose of making the standard high-level attribution info available. As always the bulk of the attribution is stored onto the coin&#039;s PixelStix in the same way.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. The intermediary script that I assign to each coin has been modified to apply CPI-U (Consumer Price Index - Urban areas) data in such a way that when I have the initial investment amount for a coin as apart of my digital attribution, that amount is adjusted to factor in inflation and then displays as a &#039;Purchase price&#039; on my coins attribution. Basically every time I access the attribution for my coin, the value is dynamically calculated based on the original purchase price and inflation. For me, this solves the problem of equipping my loved ones with the knowledge of what these things are worth in case something happens to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. The use of the intermediary script (aka comment_tart) is still required. The process is still to grab the entire URL of the Reddit comment that holds your attribtution and append it to the end of the <a href="https://api.pixelstix.com/util/comment_tart.php?permalink=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://api.pixelstix.com/util/comment_tart.php?permalink=" rel="nofollow">https://api.pixelstix.com/util/comment_tart.php?permalink=</a></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; <font face="Courier New"> e.g. <a href="https://api.pixelstix.com/util/comment_tart.php?permalink=https://www.reddit.com/r/AncientCoins/comments/ehhgub/pitane_mysia_350_bc_zeus_ammon/fcjbr2p/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://api.pixelstix.com/util/comment_tart.php?permalink=https://www.reddit.com/r/AncientCoins/comments/ehhgub/pitane_mysia_350_bc_zeus_ammon/fcjbr2p/" rel="nofollow">https://api.pixelstix.com/util/comment_tart.php?permalink=https://www.reddit.com/r/AncientCoins/comments/ehhgub/pitane_mysia_350_bc_zeus_ammon/fcjbr2p/</a></font></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll likely make this somewhat easier by building a small form that accepts the URL of the Redditi comment and spits back the fully concatenated comment_tart URL</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for reading!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/661388892359884830/668825719748558848/image3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[image of the flip with coin and new PixelStix design]</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/661388892359884830/668825719308156959/image2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[image of the PixelStix design outside of the flip]</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/661388892359884830/668825717533966336/image0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[a few coins in a tray that have been attributed with this technology]</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/661388892359884830/668825718356181002/image1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[scan showing the attribution pulled from Reddit when I hover over the coin][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
