I don't know if you have noticed, but your argument largely consists of the idea that popular votes are good because they are popular. This is circular logic. Just because something is popular doesn't make it good. That said, there is a place for democracy in government IMO, but it needs to have strict checks placed upon it in the form of a constitutional republic in order to prevent it from becoming the malignant tyranny of the majority.
@Lapatai said that too many people have voting rights, while i think it is the opposite, people should go and vote more, and i just gave the list of the countries with highest voting turnout, to show that that is not the problem, on the contrary. It is easier for corrupted government to stay in power if fewer people go out and vote, and that is why i voted to underline importance of voting. It is another issues that people don't make educated choice most of the times, and usually we get the government that we deserve, but i don't think that power concentrated in hands of fewer people will bring us any good. I don't disagree, I just think you are oversimplifying the situation. It is kind of like some one saying drinking a lot of water is healthy, so you decide to drown some one in a lake. Water is good, but there are other factors at play that need to be addressed, because the water can just as easily drown you. |

I have seen ponomarenko210395 making some very low quality posts lately. They are not quite shit grade, and I wouldn't advocate for straight up removing him, but I think a warning to put a little more effort into his posts would be in order.I change my mind. Clearly this user is not heeding warnings and deserves to be dumped from the campaign if not banned for spamming low quality self evident one liners. |

Thank you. Now would you estimate that this is an active attempt at deception, or simply a technically hyperbolic statement? As you mentioned before, there are no guarantees in trading by its nature, however is it not possible to design an algorithm that only makes trades when they are profitable, technically making that a "guaranteed" profitable trading strategy?
It all starts that way, the idea. The idea is concrete when it's all theoretical but promising something wouldn't be good for anyone. So in theory, it's going to work, yes, but in reality, it could be different. Being exaggerated on an idea would be either good or bad in a marketing standpoint. Hence that statement could be viewed differently by anyone. For clarification of your expertise in this field, what is your relationship to the Gunbot project? My intent is not to scrutinize you but to clarify with some one with knowledge of these systems in order to make it evident that there is nothing more suspicious about this users offerings that couldn't also be applied to any other similar business model.
I'm a user of Gunbot and a Reseller. The way that they are going about is being used by other business models, I look at it as a subscription model-based with "profits" as the main source of the income. As for the suspiciousness on the offerings, it's suspicious in a way but it could change if someone tried it. The risk there is that "trying" the service, you could lose money in that stage. As for their strategy, Market Maker is a great asset and could make you money with those rebates. I don't really know what you want me to say here. I've laid out everything that I think could be useful. I just wanted you to answer my questions honestly and directly, and you seem to be doing so, so thank you for that. I am specifically taking this step by step approach because I am establishing the fact that these accusations are based merely on suspicion alone, and nothing Cryptosparks has stated is either unrealistic or fraudulent as testified by a respected independent 3rd party with knowledge of the specific field in question. I am just trying to demonstrate the point that the accusations raised against him are completely arbitrary and could literally be applied to anyone offering a similar service, including Gunbot if the default trust cartel was so inclined to burn its creators reputation. I am not trying to impugn your character, in fact I think you have been very forthright and honest and I appreciate that. I would appreciate it if you chimed in on the flag thread because I think the people supporting the flag there need to hear this from you. Thanks for your time. I'm skeptical but I can't call it an outright scam.
An honest TL;DR of this whole flag situation. Being skeptical should not be the standard for using the trust system to destroy people's reputations. People are literally skeptical that the Earth is round, that doesn't make N.A.S.A. a scammer because people are skeptical of their model. This is my point, this entire accusation is completely subjective and largely based on ignorance of the industry in question. |

I have been all over the world and have found that there are some cultures that feel that stealing is perfectly fine.
The solution to theft in most of the world is to discourage it through shame and punishment. But some parts of the world do not really see it as wrong. There is no point in shaming and while it may be technically against the law, it is not really enforced because it's "not that bad".
The thing I notice in these cultures is that every individual takes measures into their own hands to protect their goods and property. They have bars on the windows, razor wire fences, etc. (even the poorest homes are barred up). There is usually someone in the more populated areas when you park your car who watches your car for you (upon receiving payment), etc.
Most people in the west do not need to deal with this and are perhaps lucky in living in a place where theft is not as common.
But the countries where theft is common, people are better at preventing theft. I can see why someone from one of these countries going to the US would think "they just let you walk into the grocery store and take food off of the shelves by yourself...no guards at the door or anything", "people leave their homes unprotected with just windows that can be broken", "look, a perfectly good car with so many parts for the taking unprotected".
I see a few solutions...everyone evolves protection of their own property (either paying for a service or taking measures into your own hands every day of your life). Or it becomes exclusionary based where thieves are not allowed in a certain area and that area restricts newcomers allowing those in the protected area to live without too much worry about their property.
I'm not sure which is the better solution. The first solution sucks needing to worry about thieves every day, the second solution makes people soft and sort of prisoners of their location.
Theft is genetically embedded in us. Theft is a way of survival. And more openly in where there is a weak economy. Where you need to do something to survive.. You were warned about your low quality posting. I would take it seriously because you are not only at risk of losing your signature pay but being banned entirely. Put in a little more effort than these empty self evident one liners. You seem capable, just put in the effort and stop treating this forum like your personal tool for profit while contributing absolutely nothing to it and filling it with this nonsense. |

The point is that you can have all the information that exists, but it doesn't do any good if people won't look at it or acknowledge it.
Hundreds of Documents Conflict with Joe Biden's Account of Why Ukrainian Prosecutor Was FiredThe Hill's John Solomon is reporting that the documents — many from the American legal team that helped the company, Burisma Holdings, try to stave off its legal troubles — raise the "troubling prospect" that U.S. officials may have "painted a false picture in Ukraine that helped "ease Burisma's legal troubles and stop prosecutors' plans to interview" Biden's son Hunter during the 2016 presidential elections. Solomon reported that, for instance, an official Ukrainian government memo shows that Burisma's American legal representatives met with Ukrainian officials just days after Biden forced the firing of the chief prosecutor and offered "an apology for dissemination of false information by U.S. representatives and public figures" about Ukrainian prosecutors. In other words — the company that employed Biden's son apologized to the Ukrainian government after the firing of the chief prosecutor for the "U.S. representatives and public figures" actions or remarks.  TL;DR from Burisma Holdings. "We are so very sorry we made you look bad, now put this leash on and get on your knees bitch." This kind of hubris is often the downfall of such corrupt arrogant psychopaths. They can't resist professing their crimes to the world in order to wallow in their self satisfaction and further send a message to the world that they think they can't be touched. |

This is my opinion why democracy is going down and down:Because anyone can vote.
To summer things up: 1. We need voters to know why they are voting for the specific person, they must have at least simple test; 2. The politicians must be qualified to do their job (university degree, more than three languages etc.); 3. No more than 2 times in the government. You must have done your job when you were elected. If we were to follow these rules, everything should be fine. Thank you for reading, have a great day   If in fact democracy is bad, as anyone can vote, how come huge majority of most developed countries are democracies? I don't say that democracy is perfect, because it is not, but for now it is the best system we have. Thing with democracy though is, it needs time for people that understand their power and importance when voting, that is why most developed countries usually have high voter turnout.  As you can see, top 10 countries by voter turnout are all highly developed countries. I must add that in Belgium it is mandatory to vote, and for not showing up , there are fines and other measures. I don't know if you have noticed, but your argument largely consists of the idea that popular votes are good because they are popular. This is circular logic. Just because something is popular doesn't make it good. That said, there is a place for democracy in government IMO, but it needs to have strict checks placed upon it in the form of a constitutional republic in order to prevent it from becoming the malignant tyranny of the majority. |

I never liked the guy and i believe that he is way too immature to be President of such a great country,I really doubt that this is going to hurt his re-election, the black community in Canada seems to be of a more forgiving nature than those of in the USA. This is just a silly mistake he made during his youth and am sure lots of people have made mistakes during that time.
The black community in Canada as far as I know seems to be composed of a majority immigrant populations on the public dole, so not only do they have financial incentive to ignore this, but the lax immigration policies he and his party support are also preferential. Also immigrant populations are decidedly less sensitive to these types of things as this hysterical type of political correctness is largely a phenomenon of Western society. The small number of black Canadians who were born there also generally don't seem to care much either, unless as explained above it becomes a tool of degradation. The main offended party here is white Marxist progressives, and as I explained their Postmodernist relativist ideology allows them to ignore such things, because being aware of them results in painful cognitive dissonance. When it is say a conservative who was in a similar position of course this cognitive dissonance does not apply, so they are more than happy to create an angry mob over it, because again, they don't really have principles but look at everything through the lens of the ends justifying the means. |

I am just going to leave these right here... https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/odr/yuri-lutsenko-views-from-prison-cell/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-12085959https://thehill.com/hilltv/rising/434875-top-ukrainian-justice-official-says-us-ambassador-gave-him-a-do-not-prosecutehttps://antac.org.ua/en/publications/hero-lutsenko-and-soros-group-antac-rebuts-new-article-of-the-hill-journalist/https://www.kyivpost.com/ukraine-politics/lutsenkos-luxury-vacation-seychelles-draws-criticism.htmlThat said, Yuri Lutsenko is clearly neck deep in this corruption at best, and a CIA cutout at worst. His word is about as good as Biden's own denials. You are a tourist Nutilduhhh. This mindless regurgitation of the first headline you see that agrees with you with zero examination clearly demonstrates not only your own need for confirmation bias, but your pathetic levels of incompetence doing your own independent research and critical thought. I am confident you didn't even bother reading the article. Don't worry, hes not off the hook yet regardless of how hard the media is trying to deflect. As far as your "at worst" scenario, I assure you it gets much MUCH worse for Biden regarding what he is responsible for. This goes way deeper than the majority of people realize.
What i seem to hear all the time is Trump asking the Ukranian President to investigate Biden's son company and it shows how mightily biased the media is and am not talking only about the US Media, Al Jazeera are talking non stop on this matter and it doesn't seem to abate.I know for a certain that this impeachment thing isn't going to work but i say that the Media is full of lies and half truths. It is way beyond just American media. It is about corporate establishment media. They are looking to preserve their own position of authority, and the position of power of their paymasters. Now when you are talking about paymasters who often find their opponents "committing suicide" with two bullets to the head, or "stabbing themselves" in the chest 47 times, you can see quickly how these organizations can be brought strictly into line with the international mafia's preferred narratives. Now that resistance to these criminal cartels is rising, they are now increasingly finding themselves in being in a position of being caught being knowingly complicit in these crimes and being prosecuted, and drowning "accidentally" in 3 inches of water in their own bathtubs, or other less terminal forms of having ones life destroyed. |

@TECSHARE this video is going to hurt his re-election campaign hard, but when I read the tweets it says he’s yet winning and people don’t care about his blackface photos and videos can you explain how’s this happening?. When I had first seen those photos I felt it was a political witch-hunt, but when I saw this video I realised that there’s something wrong with Justin’s mindset. Also he’s admitted to not remembering how many times he wore blackface, that means he’s aware that more images and videos will be coming out to derail his re-election campaign. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10027422/justin-trudeau-blackface-video/Frankly I don't think the whole blackface thing is a big deal in and of itself. Originally the stigma came from "minstrel shows", a form of entertainment during the early 19th century in America, and the exaggerated, dismissive, and demeaning stereotypes presented. Over time as politically correct culture has gotten out of control, the simple act of being in blackface itself has attained the original stigma of this historical practice. In my opinion the reprehensible part of this is the part where it is used to purposely demean people based upon their race or skin tone. It also seems to me that most black people really wouldn't care, as long as how I previously I mentioned, it is not accompanied with the demeaning intent. Of course there will always be a minority who are overly sensitive to such things and will overreact no matter how innocent it is, but it seems most people generally don't care as long as it is not actively being used as a tool to degrade people based on their race/skin tone. That said, I personally find this interesting and funny because not only is Canada a nation infested with these overly PC Marxist types, but these kind of things are often even encoded into their legal system in quite asinine ways. Furthermore Trudeau himself is fond of this type of virtue signaling and almost hysterical political correctness. The hypocrisy is the entertaining part here. Progressives don't really in general have principles, they are usually of the mindset of "the ends justify the means", and as they occupy this Postmodernist mindset where they live within an ideology of the relativist which allows them to justify literally anything in their own minds and among themselves regardless of how hypocritical it is. When things like this happen and this hypocrisy is exposed, it forces these people to be acutely aware of their own double standards, and creates a painful cognitive dissonance within them. This is why you more often than not find the people that are most offended by these types of things are generally middle to upper class white people, because not only is it associated with historical guilt over things like slavery, but exposes their modern type of racism which usually is in the form of bigotry of low expectations. This overreaction is how they deal with their own cognitive dissonance, in effect it is more about absolving themselves of guilt rather than preventing anyone from being discriminated against. It is a very selfish and often extremely racist mindset. This Postmodernist relativist ideology in mind, it becomes more clear how a nation so obsessed with being politically correct can sweep things like this under the rug when it does not serve their own political goals, because ultimately it is about escaping the pain of self awareness and cognitive dissonance over their own self contradicting ideology. |

This is my opinion why democracy is going down and down:Because anyone can vote. Let me set an example. There are 101 people ready to take a flight from NY to Germany. There are no pilots. Suddenly two guys comes and people need to vote which one of these two will be the pilot the whole flight. The 101 people knows very little about them. The first one says that he has a lot of experience, made more than 3000 flights and survived a lot of storms and promises to fly ant 9000 altitude. The second one says that if the passengers vote for him, they will get to fly in business class and gets double the food to eat the whole flight (by the way, he keeps silent that all the experience he has is from MS Flight Simulator and has no real experience). Who do you think the passengers voted for? Of course the second one won 81/20 ( it is my presumption), he took the flight and the plane crashed. Now let's get deeper. I know very little about USA democratic system, but I will tell you about the one in Lithuania. We have a right to vote from 18 till death. Lots of people doesn't care who is in our government because there are very few new faces, only the old dudes who are in authority for more than 10-15 years.  So, the situation is similar. People vote for the one who offers the most. They doesn't care if he knows how to keep promises, only that he made them. It makes no difference if you vote for liberals or conservative ones, they will make a coalition and nothing changes. They keep the power. For things to change we need a new blood to enter the stage. And most importantly, the ones who vote need to know why they vote for someone. For example, if you ask someone why they voted for this guy and not the other and if he/she answers that this one has better eyes that the other his/her vote should be canceled. There should be some tests that voters need to pass. For example: "name three things your government do/done" , "what does the president do", "who is in charge now", "CAPITAL OF YOUR COUNTRY" and many more. It may be hard to believe, but I guess that 20% of voters would be off. Because nowadays anyone can vote because it is the right they have. I think that only the people who understand politics should be able to vote. Now even the old people who are literally in death bed (yes, the officials visits them in hospitals come and just takes their signatures) voting when they have little self consciousness of their surroundings  . To summer things up: 1. We need voters to know why they are voting for the specific person, they must have at least simple test; 2. The politicians must be qualified to do their job (university degree, more than three languages etc.); 3. No more than 2 times in the government. You must have done your job when you were elected. If we were to follow these rules, everything should be fine. Thank you for reading, have a great day This is one of the inherent flaws in any democracy. This is something that politicians in the US (as well as other countries) are attempting to actively abuse by offering lots of entitlements like government subsidized healthcare and education along with letting immigrants flow into the country unchecked hoping to essentially buy votes with taxpayer dollars. This is increasingly a problem in the US, but fortunately here we do not have a pure democracy, but rather a constitutional republic that does offer some significant checks on this kind of abuse. Unfortunately this is not a fool proof system, but it is a significantly better model than just straight democracy, otherwise known as mob rule. People often get the idea in their heads that because politicians are so corrupt, if the people could only have direct representation, everything would be better. This is flawed logic for the reasons I just went over above. All that is really happening is people are given the illusion of choice and control while the worst flaws of human nature are being exploited to enslave the whole of the nation. After all, democracy is just two wolves and a sheep voting on what is for dinner. In a pure democracy there are no individual rights because the minority will always be subjected to the dictates of the majority, this is where the protections of a constitutional republic are very valuable. Additionally democracy is the first step towards moving a nation toward Marxism and Communism, and as some one from a formerly Soviet block nation, I am sure you appreciate the danger of allowing these ideologies to be exploited, and understand the horror of Communism much better than most Westerners do given your nation has plenty of people around still living to tell the story of what living under such a system was like from their own personal experience. |

You can't actually do anything without the API secret, including trade...
Uhm, I know. It's a pair. What I've said is that I don't want anyone having my API Secret. Only me. . For personal security as well.
If you would, please directly answer my question. Which bot you think is superior aside, reviewing Cryptosparks statements, do you see anything unrealistic or out of the ordinary for this specific business model?
Sorry for being explaining too much. The only unrealistic that CryptoSparks statements are the guaranteed profit. . The business type where it gets monthly profit percentage is somewhat used all around. Thank you. Now would you estimate that this is an active attempt at deception, or simply a technically hyperbolic statement? As you mentioned before, there are no guarantees in trading by its nature, however is it not possible to design an algorithm that only makes trades when they are profitable, technically making that a "guaranteed" profitable trading strategy? For clarification of your expertise in this field, what is your relationship to the Gunbot project? My intent is not to scrutinize you but to clarify with some one with knowledge of these systems in order to make it evident that there is nothing more suspicious about this users offerings that couldn't also be applied to any other similar business model. I very much appreciate you taking the time to give straight forward and direct answers without a bunch of meaningless bickering. |

I try my best to be blunt and to the point. Some people react better than other to this approach. Thanks for not taking it personally, it is refreshing for a change.
Which bot you think is superior aside, reviewing Cryptosparks statements, do you see anything unrealistic or out of the ordinary for this specific business model?
I understand where you're coming from, and I have read some of the replies that you have on the associated flag you are talking about. I'm not decided whether to support it or oppose it, I know that CryptoSparks said a lot of things in his thread and mostly, it's pretty transparent on what you can do as a possible user. 1. You could choose to use his service and get possibly scammed (no actual evidence of someone getting scammed) 2. Trust the service and try it for yourself For number 2, the most worst-case scenario is that you lose all the balance in your own trading account because of a wrong trade. Without enabling the withdraw part in your API Key, the balance can never be acquired. Just a wrong bet on the wrong trend (Betting a lot of money in LONG but it dumped) Losing everything. The monthly fee is what concerns me too if you have profits, 20% goes to them but if you don't have and you lost a lot, they are not going to give anything back (no responsibility in losses). It's like meh, you lost the trade, it's your account. Better luck next time. In a way they are saying it's a guarantee that you would earn BTC if you use this service. There is no guarantee in trading, ever. Unless you have the power to sway the market into your favor (thousands and thousands of BTC)
The whole hubbub about the API secret in your post is advertising hogwash. If you create the API so it can only trade, that is all it can do.
It's called secret for a reason. Anyway, if it's not intended for that (withdrawal) it cannot be. I just don't like the idea of having someone getting my API Secret too. It's like a security thing. If you would, please directly answer my question. Which bot you think is superior aside, reviewing Cryptosparks statements, do you see anything unrealistic or out of the ordinary for this specific business model?

Thanks for the advertisement. I am curious, how many of the people supporting these accusations and this flag are affiliated with Gunbot? It seems to me there could very well be some conflict of interest here in an attempt to stifle competition.
There's no need to do with anything with the competition, I'm just stating facts that are already out there. I was just reading some of the posts and come across this thread and saw that something that mattered to me, it's better to rightly out say that there is a big difference when it comes to functionality and usability of the two. One is claiming to have 480% returns and the other is a tool that could improve a traders strategy and automate it. What would you choose? And I am just stating the fact that he is in direct competition with Gunbot, and some of the people here making accusations against him are affiliated with the project raising questions of conflict of interest and potential ulterior motives for this reputation burn fest. It has nothing to do with which is better. Honestly though I think taking this opportunity to pitch Gunbot is kind of tacky though. I understand. I thought it would be useful to have another set of perspective when it comes to someone using a trading tool. I will just continue reading and see what will happen in the next few days with regards to this topic. Thanks for your honest opinion. I try my best to be blunt and to the point. Some people react better than other to this approach. Thanks for not taking it personally, it is refreshing for a change. Which bot you think is superior aside, reviewing Cryptosparks statements, do you see anything unrealistic or out of the ordinary for this specific business model? You might want to chime in here as well: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=752 |

I recently purchased these as a gift but they were not the right type I intended to get. I was unable to return them within the refund window so I am selling them here. They are new in box, but the box was opened just to inspect them. Included is TWO new in box outdoor wall mount speakers. Everything from factory is included. Please PM to purchase.  (this is a stock photo, both have their grills and are brand new in box)  Shipping included to the USA. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00378KMF0/ |

I don't want to get involved in forum drama, but I also don't support the flag against CryptoSparks. I would describe what he is offering as similar to GunBot, who has many vouches from reputable forum members, the main difference being that CryptoSparks has settings 'pre-filled' for his customers. As part of the Gunbot Family, there are a lot of differences with regards to the function of the bot. Generally, what CryptoSpark is offering is that the bot has limitations and "requires" a certain amount of balance to start. With Gunbot it's not like that. A big difference as well is that it's a subscription and you have to pay 20% of the earned profits from your main account while Gunbot is a one-time payment fee and it includes future updates. Features and functions don't compare to Gunbot, it's lightyears away to be near to the functionality Gunbot. Gunbot is for real traders/users, not "pre-filled" settings. That's what's great with Gunbot, we don't need the API Secret just the API Key. When sellers ask for your SECRET key, it's already a warning sign, it should stay secret and with Gunbot we don't need that to activate your license. 4. Send me the API KEY and SECRET via telegram so i can setup the bot.
5. Rent a VPS for 10$. VPS is necessary to always keep the bot running.
4. Enjoy your month of passive income
5. Once the month ends, if you want 1 more month in the army, you need to pay 20% of previous month earnings in BTC. Otherwise just leave with all profits.
My concern also is that with the "pre-filled" settings. What if they decided to trade against the trend or something that would lead to your balance liquidation? I don't think I would be interested in testing this kind of bot. If some of you guys are interested to try Gunbot, let me know, there are ongoing promos. Thanks for the advertisement. I am curious, how many of the people supporting these accusations and this flag are affiliated with Gunbot? It seems to me there could very well be some conflict of interest here in an attempt to stifle competition. |

I don't think this qualifies for a flag unless they explicitly stated the info would be kept private. It is definitely shitty behavior and should be brought to people's attention though so they can avoid these projects if they take issue with this. Thanks for bringing attention to it.
Even if his customer keeping data still private, i think its still break our privacy. i think for newbie member it can be a big problem like malware or phishing email he receive if customer of coinwriter using his data to spread malicious program. I completely agree. However due to the nature of this type of activity as well as the likely customer base, a flag wouldn't accomplish anything even if you think it is justified. Apparently the mods found that offering the BCT database was grounds for removal of the post, which is because that info was illicitly obtained even though it is publicly available on the web now due to past hacks. Flagging users like this is like throwing ice cubes at the sun. Make posts like you have done here to raise awareness. Leave the trust system for documenting objective evidence of fraud. |
