This will not work very well. The forum search function is a) not very good, and b) very resource intensive on the forum's server.

A superior way of doing this would be to use the See unread posts since last visit page, review the last pages of threads on this page until your bot gets to a post it has already reviewed, and check for keywords in-between the following:

My understanding is the craigslist and reddit subs were public and available to anyone with an internet connection. The subs were a way to advertise services and the ads requested those interested to contact them off site. Anyone potentially advertising their services on the blockchain would have the same amount of privacy as those who were advertising on craigslist and reddit before the subs were taken down.

Those offering their services can have privacy by using a throwaway email address or telephone number. Those consuming the services would have no transactions, and would only need to read the ads.

It should set off red flags if the same group of people are always participating in the same threads. If you compile a DB of everyone's posts that includes at a minimum the thread ID, this should be fairly simple to detect, and if the reply number, or the date/time of the post is also tracked, one should be able to detect this with few false positives if a sufficiently strict criteria is used.

This is not secure.

BitGo only controls one of three private keys associated with addresses where coin is 'stored'. Two keys are required spend the coin.

The customer's "primary" key is designed to initiate all transactions. The customer will sign transactions with this key, and provide the signed transaction to BitGo, who will then verify the requestor is authorized to request that BitGo sign the transaction based on account settings. If all requirements are met, BitGo will sign the transaction. There is a 3rd key, held by the customer, designed to be a "cold storage" key, that can be used in conjunction with the "primary" key to spend any coin within the address.

The above means, that the lender will be unable to spend any coin within the wallet, and the OP would be able to move any coin held in the BitGo wallet.   

I am not aware of any laws within the US that require expenses to be public for private companies. Even public companies generally do not have this granular information publicly available.

I found this article that says Bird's rates vary by location/city to between $0.1 and $0.33 per minute, with a $1 upfront charge. I found a couple of articles that all cite Lyme's rate to be $1 plus $0.25 per minute.

It appears these types of companies pay contractors to charge their scooters, who are also paid a variable rate. I have found various articles that cite contractors being paid between $3 and $25 per scooter, and between $5 and $25 per scooter, and all the articles I found implied the average tends to be on the lower end of this scale. I am not sure how often they need to be charged.

Bird sells a version of their scooter that has a range of 30 miles for $1,300. I would put an upper bound to the costs of the scooter to be 90% of this cost, but would estimate the actual cost be much lower than this. I found an article that cited the cost of a scooter to be $551.

The revenue per scooter per day is going to vary widely by location, and will be difficult to estimate without some kind of at least sample data. This article cites the average ride on a Bird scooter to be $3.65, and an average of 5 rides per day per scooter, both as of May 2018. Assuming $0.25/minute, you could reach the conclusion that each Bird scooter is driven for an average of 10.6 minutes per ride. This would also mean that scooters will need to be charged at least once every other day.

I found a Crunchbase article that sums the ultimate information you are likely looking for; Bird has gross margins of 18% as of May 2018. This was according to an investor presentation. At the time, Bird reportedly said they hoped to increase gross margins to 33% by reducing operating costs.

None of these companies are autonomous, and will have costs such as software development, scooter R&D, and others.

Also, without at least pointing to any kind of raw data, you are not looking for a data analytics project to be completed, you are looking for a google search project to be completed.

Reddit and craigslist both closed subs on their platforms that allowed people to create listings that directed people to contact them via email or text to arrange a meeting. This was done in direct response to the law, and the law was intended to do this. From what I have read, some people offering their ‘services’ were actually being forced to do this, but it was not obvious on the fact of the advertisement. I’m not sure how prevalent this was, but it was apparently common enough so that Congress put a stop to it.

The CDA was passed when the internet was in its infancy. From the perspective of how widely used crypto is today, the crypto sphere is far past when the internet was when the CDA was passed.

Where is the data housed? I don't think this would be a terribly difficult project if the data doesn't need to be cleaned too much.

That being said, all three of these companies are private, and I would be surprised to see any of this information public, except for the cost of individual rides.

The tool linked by the OP is designed to upload data onto the 'Bitcoin Satoshis Version' ("BSV") blockchain (despite its misleading name, this altcoin is NOT "satoshis version" nor implementation of bitcoin). BSV has the capability of handling very large transactions because of its large max individual block size. This means someone could potentially upload an actual file to a BSV transaction.

The DCMA will only protect against copyright violations, and includes a requirement that copyright content be removed upon request by the copyright holder. I don't think a copyright holder would go after full node operators if the blockchain of the coin of their node has copyrighted material because the damage would be negligible, and it would be technically difficult to remove said material.

Congress passed an exception to section 230 of the CDA recently, in that service providers no longer have protection from liability in cases of sex trafficking.  I don't think law enforcement would go after a node operator if the blockchain stored on his computer has unprotected communications or content because his intent is not clear. Law enforcement may go after whoever uploaded said content using blockchain analysis.

It would probably be best if congress were to pass a law explicitly protecting node operators.

It was appropriate to deny entry into Israel, considering they both want to see Israel's people murdered and country invaded.

They are also supporters of boycotts of Israeli businesses. The trip was clearly meant to advance their anti-semantic agenda.

After they were denied entry, Talib has asked to be granted entry into Israel to visit her Grandmother (she was probably hoping to be denied, so she could use the denial as propaganda), and once she was granted a visa that would allow her entry, she announced she will not visit. After all this happened, Trump tweated that Talib's grandmother was the winner in the ordeal because she wouldn't need to see Talib.   

It is not necessary to rely on NSA (or Chinese government) level spying to track what I was referring to. I was referring to something closer to tracking cookies that can track your activity. I believe these can help detect things like if accounts are being hacked, for example if someone is accessing an account with the same browser type and IP range as normal but without a cookie that has previously been consistently present when accessing an account. I also believe these can pretty easily be removed, so if you don’t want this type of tracking, it is trivial to stop it.

I believe there are other types of tracking that doesn’t require NSA level spying.

The quote you cited was referring to very advanced tracking when the person being tracking is taking many steps to avoid being tracked. I don’t believe even the likes of Google and Facebook employ the types of tracking referred to in your quote.

Can you have a way to track how many people registered, were prompted to pay a fee, didn’t pay, and subsequently registered a different account (both that did and did not require a fee). Something other than IP address would need to be used to track this.

This is only true for their "on chain" wallet and not their LN wallet, both of which are available within the app. The Blue Wallet LN wallet is custodial, meaning the operator of Blue Wallet has control and custody of the coin within an open LN channel. Blue Wallet advertises their LN wallet to be intended for only small amounts of coin.

Actually wallet software does not set the mining/network fee, they only measure the fee based on an estimation of what it will cost to get transactions confirmed in future blocks. Most wallet software will allow users to set custom mining fee rates, either a specific rate, or a generalized "slow" or "fast" rate based on the above.

I believe you can actually get around having to pay the full amount by buying a Copper Membership, which currently costs ~$24:
I looked at the thread about Copper Memberships and it is not 100% clear you will have the proxyban lifted if you have a Copper Membership, but I am fairly confident this is true based on:

If the above is correct, it would make sense to cap the evil fees to a percentage of the cost of the Copper Membership. I would speculate the intention was for evil fees to nearly always be cheaper than a Copper Membership, but maybe the price of evil fees was not adjusted when the price of a Copper Membership was.

I don't think it makes much sense to even have evil fees for users who sign up via Tor. All of the Tor exit nodes are public, so if someone signs up with an IP address associated with, or near a Tor exit node, they should be forced to pay a flat fee for signing up via Tor. Evil units should also not accumulate on IP addresses associated with Tor exit nodes when a Tor user is banned. An added benefit to this would be a reduction in noise regarding which IP ranges are a problem with spammers, making spammers easier to deal with because these IP ranges can be more easily detected. 

The HK government is controlled by Chinese sockpuppets, but there are freedoms available in HK that are not in China. These freedoms attract a lot of capital to HK, which in turn flows into China. For this reason, China cannot invade HK, or otherwise explicitly take over its government without facing serious economic consequences.

The risk for China is that HK turns into a real democracy, and democracy spread into mainland China. This would mean the end of the Chinese government as it exists today.

China's long term goal for HK is to maintain influence over HK via its sockpuppets, however it seems someone got greedy as to how much control they wanted over HK and this has backfired.

An interesting part of the story is that HK protestors are displaying American flags and singing the US national anthem as a symbol of freedom.

As I mentioned, the OP could possibly give $5k in collateral in a transaction that resembles a margin trade. The lender would actually be holding onto $15k to secure a $10k loan.

What is the purpose of your loan? If for example you are wanting to borrow $10k worth of bitcoin in order to sell it for USD with the hope you can buy the btc back at a lower price (effectively shorting btc), a lender may be able to help you if you are willing to let the lender, or someone you both trust to hold the $5k worth of coin plus the loan proceeds until the loan is repaid. The loan could be repaid with coin from the collateral + loan proceeds.

If you are merely wanting to put up 5 grand to take out a 10 grand loan that you can freely spend on anything, I would find it unlikely any sane lender would be interested in your proposal.

In my experience, almost all of the reports I make that will get handled are handled within 24 hours; I don't keep track, but I would estimate that less than 2% of my handled reports were handled after more than 24 hours. I would guesstimate that over 2/3 of my reports are handled within 8 hours.

I don’t make a lot of reports for sig spam, however if I notice someone making especially poor posts, I will review their post history, and report a handful of their recent posts if they are mostly made up of low effort, or off topic posts, and make a note that the person is wearing a paid signature.

To put this in context, about 2.5% of my reported posts remain unhandled, and less than 1% are marked as bad. I looked at some of my bad reports, and after the fact decided that I probably made a mistake when reporting, and noticed that a moderator action was taken on some others, leading me to believe that someone may have accidentally marked a report as 'bad' even though they took action on it.

You can avoid the effects of this attack by not using your phone number (receiving a phone call or SMS message) as a means to unlock any financial account. Not as a second factor, and not as a means to reset your password.

It is a good security practice to not go around bragging how much coin you have. Even if you disregard this best practice, there is always a the chance you are embellishing how much coin you have, cannot remember how to access a portion of the coin for one of many reasons, including due to the stress related to the '$5 wrench' attack.

If an attacker believes you to have 5,000 btc, but is only able to obtain 5 or 10 btc from you, this is still a lot of money, although much less than the millions that would be had from stealing 5,000, and receiving 10 btc might be one reason to deescalate the situation in order to avoid very harsh punishment such as jail time for the attack.   

Major HW wallet implementations allow for users to use a passphraise as the last word in their seed, and can potentially have multiple passphraises that create multiple seeds.
