I didn't say that those who have negative trust should not be on DT. Although this may be the case some of the time.

I am not familiar with how the OP's bot works, but I would imagine he is already capable of scraping and parsing information. You need to sign up via a PM that I presume is scraped/parsed.

There are a lot of people who are on DT who have negative trust. It seems there might be a mismatch between who is on DT and who should be on DT.

It would be a great feature if there was a way to not receive notifications when certain people mention my name or quote my messages. Sort of like an ignore list.

Thanks.

Bitcoin is very far from fully anonymous.

It is pseudo anonymous 

PG&E has served democrats agenda for years at the expense of maintaining their grid.

If electric companies were advancing profits over public safety, there would be similar problems elsewhere in the country, but there is not (except PR). The common denominator is corrupt democrat politicians running government almost unopposed for decades.

Harris is too transparent that she will say anything necessary to obtain political power. This became clear when she criticized Biden's support of 'bussing' in a debate a couple of months ago -- she got some headlines, but the merits behind the criticism quickly fell apart.

Nationally, she is polling at around 5% in the RCP national average for the nomination, and I don't think this is high enough to have a realistic shot. She is probably in the worst possible position in that she is doing well enough so that she is expected to receive delegate votes, but low enough so that she may not get more than one or two in the early primaries, which could lead to donors pulling funding. The candidates polling in the 1% range on the other hand are not expected to get any delegate votes, and if they do, they should expect to see a major influx of donations.

Trump currently has a major advantage in terms of funding by a large margin. He is accumulating a bigger war chest than he can realistically spend this early in the cycle, and will have plenty of money once the 2020 cycle really heats up. Ditto with the GOP as a whole, especially since the impeachment inquiry has started. Democrats on the other hand are receiving much less from donors, and are having to spend more than they are receiving (they are in debt), and more overall because they are competing with eachother.

I would not be surprised if theymos were to add a replacement merit source at the same time a merit source resigns/gets fired. I believe theymos added multiple merit sources when Vod resigned from being a merit source.

In all likelihood, this was only Vadi2323 being removed as per the thread suchmoon posted above.

I no longer have time to maintain this thread on a consistent basis.

Considering he was providing signed messages, I am not sure how much more clear I could have been.

Honestly you need to let this go. You have made your opinion clear, and it has been duly noted.

If you want to continue participating here, you should find something else to talk about. theymos doesn't like, and tries to avoid perma banning very senior, longstanding forum members, but you have been banned many times before, and that is the path you are leading yourself down. I don't personally want you perma banned, but I am being honest with you.

Look at how many open spots there are. This is the free market at work.

Assuming that exactly one person was removed (in theory, two people could have been removed, and one added, or whatever), the person removed had a monthly source of 150.

This might allow someone to look at sent data and narrow who was removed.

Pot, meet kettle.

Thats a negative ghost rider.

Waking up at noon will do that to you.
Pics or it didn’t happen.

Ive been somewhat busy with IRL things.

I might participate in the 10 year contest announced by theymos yesterday.

I would not be surprised if Lauda is in jail, but I really don’t know. This is considering his tendencies to be corrupt and extort others.

Even if what Biden did was legal (I have serious doubts about this), it was horribly unethical and corrupt. His presidential campaign is going to end over it.

Bump, merit available.

For quicker reviews, please write “QS” in your posts. Thanks.

I prefer not to go to war, but the same was true during the very beginning of World War Two. WW2 could have been avoided with a fairly small military action against Germany. Instead, the war escalated into something that required millions of troops and resulted in millions of deaths.

A military action against Iran would show that further escalation will not go unpunished, and that further escalation will not result in sanctions being removed. The Saudis cannot beat Iran in a war cleanly by themselves so the US will need to at least play a role in any military action against Iran.

If they can determine that a particular person accepted bitcoin from Iran (or an associated entity), they could issue sanctions against the person to recover the equivalent amount they accepted.

In layman’s terms, this means that whatever exchange you use to convert the bitcoin to fiat will turn over the proceeds to the US government.

Regardless of the government confiscating the amount of money you receive, you should not do business with Iran. Doing so would likely further terrorism and would also help the Iran government operas their people. There should be no price that anyone should be willing to accept to further either.
