Yes it is disappointing to see otherwise productive forum members have such extremist views. I guess it is just a fact of participating in such a diverse forum

I have noticed he posts a lot of pro-Maduro (what amounts to) propaganda in Venezuela threads. I wouldn't take it seriously.

There seem to be a few others similarly supporting Maduro, although this may be because they are wanting Socialism to be tried in the US. Interestingly, Socialist Bernie Sanders acknowledged there is a humanitarian crisis recently.

There are pros and cons to doing this.

If your password is compromised, someone may be able to access, and continue to access your account indefinitely if you do not change your password. If you recycle passwords (as many people do unfortunately), the chances of this happening to the password you are using go up over time.

OTOH, changing your password frequently will require either backups of a password manager frequently, or people will use less secure passwords. It will also lead to more frequent password resets, which is another security concern.

On balance, this is probably not a good idea because it would be unusual for someone to hack an account around here and not attempt to do something (such as post or send a PM that will elicit a response) that would attract the attention of the owner. A hacker might be able to read the personal messages of a hacked account on an ongoing basis, however there are warnings against sending sensitive information unencrypted.   

The wallet you are asking about belongs to a business that holds bitcoin (possibly temporally) on behalf of their customers.  

It may be an exchange, gambling site, a service similar to BitPay, or a service similar to ShapeShift.

If there is a comma in the number of addresses, the "wallet" almost certainly does not belong to a single person. There are two commas in this case.

I would be interested in joining if possible.

I tried to create an account at stake.com but I am getting a message saying stake is not available in my region (the US).

Would you be able to pay directly to a BTC address for a very high merit, and active legendary forum member?

Venezuela also cut off diplomatic ties with Columbia after aid was attempted to be delivered via that border.

I would not be surprised to see war break out between Venezuela and Columbia, perhaps after Venezuela makes an empty threat and/or after Venezuela launches a token attach hoping to get Columbia to back off, not wanting war. If war does break out, I would expect for the government of Venezuela to fall shortly thereafter.

This is probably because he is not even on the map in the polls.

According to a poll released Feb 23, he is not in the top 14 candidate for the NH (early) primary, when numbers 13 and 14 are rounded down to 0%, and "someone else" collectively has 5%.

He isn't in the top 19 in a national poll for the Democrat nomination, with the bottom three each having a rounded percentage of voters of 0%, and "someone else" collectively getting 3%.

I don't think he has a realistic chance of even getting any delegate votes. I am not sure why theymos even has him on the list in the OP.

Edit: perhaps Howard Schultz should be added to the OP, and poll. He is technically considering running as an independent, however his views align with Democrats (he is a moderate) and may end up running as one.

Perhaps you should work on your reading comprehension

I read his ban appeal thread:

IIRC, ChiBitCTy had plagiarized much more than once (as Redsn0w did), and they were part of a large burst of low effort posts he made while participating in a signature campaign.

If anything, IMO, he would be one of the later people to have their ban removed for plagiarism.

Unless there is an indication they want a PM, such as in a post saying they are looking for certain services, this is not allowed, and is sending an unsolicited advertising PM.

Wow, you should consider yourself lucky. Most people get permanently banned for plagiarism. Although it was from 4.5 years ago 

The administration does not do anything about alt accounts, even those of scammers well over 99% of the time, and does not even put much effort into finding alt accounts of banned users.

Also, it is possible to find alt accounts that are all using TOR, even if they are taking a lot of precautions against detection.

there are many others

I have seen many posts quoted (and responded to) prior to being deleted.

Perhaps the deletions are to prevent the thread from being derailed.

This particular post should be acceptable because the context of the post is clearly quoting another source.

The post that hilarious quoted is not acceptable IMO. I am not sure if there are other examples of plagiarism or not.

Perhaps when the judge asks him how he wants to plead, he can say that he identifies as innocent.

That and in general, Trump supporters don’t watch Empire.

If anything, this was gang activity if the attack was real.

You can use a stablecoin.

Sanders has helped move the Democratic party to the left as many of the major contenders are emulating his socialist economic views (such as proposing medicare for all).

Obama was accused of being a socialist early in his first term, which he denied and many of his defenders refuted. Today, many in the Democratic party proudly wear that title, and back socialist proposals. 

He was indicted by a grand jury earlier today, and will face felony charges related to his alleged false police report.

This story on its face was ridiculous and not believable. It does not sound like he had any help in planning this scam, at least not from anyone smart.

If I had to guess, I would say Smollett is an extreme liberal who surrounds himself with others who agree with his views, no matter how ridiculous, and never has to defend his views.
