I made a mistake with your total number of followers but the ratios still stand at 9% real and 91% fake followers

I have asked you to provide data to back up your profitable trading strategy (it is profitable, right?) and a simple P/L numbers would have sufficed. Giving 5 months ROI example from a 26 years career in trading is just not enough in my opinion (and thats just my opinion) since you are selling a service to this community.

I am sure you would agree with me when I say that making one successful trade doesn't necessarily mean that one is a successful trader or the strategy is successful over the long term and especially when using longer timeframes as you do

With regards to the rest of your post, I will leave that to other people to judge. But i have to tell you this,in my opinion having a successful trading strategy has nothing to do with how many students you have or how many videos or blogposts you put out to the community. In my early school days, i had many bad teachers but I turned out ok 

I wasn't accusing you of running a scam, I am just doing my bit to make sure that members of this community don't get scammed like before. I learn from mistakes you see 

I believe in decentralized decision making so it is up to individuals in the end to decide whatever is good for them

Have a great day too and best of luck with your service

Hi FXALTareeq
I have noticed that you have advertised your FX service in the market place, however you offered no proof to back up whether your trading strategy is actually a profitable one apart from saying that you have been in FX for 26 years. So i decided to look you up on the interwebs and at least 3 things raised red flags for me and I hope that you would address them accordingly

1- while your twitter account boasts an impressive 47k followers, i took it upon myself to run a twitter audit* using this site https://www.twitteraudit.com/ and I found out that actually only 9% of your followers are real and 91% are fake, Do you have a possible explanation for this?

2- The stated location on your twitter handle @FXAlTareeq is Detroit, Mitchigan however i remember reading in one of your early posts on https://forums.burst-team.us/ that you actually live in Egypt

3- I viewed one of your FX videos and I found that you are actually using a DEMO account so that didn't instil me with any confidence in your service.  

I hope I am wrong as BURST needs these kind of products and services to help it fulfil its potential but at the same time I believe that if you are an unknown entity, you should at least provide some data to back up your claims.

Thanks in advance


*About TwitterAudit

Each audit takes a random sample of 5000 Twitter followers for a user and calculates a score for each follower. This score is based on number of tweets, date of the last tweet, and ratio of followers to friends. We use these scores to determine whether any given user is real or fake. Of course, this scoring method is not perfect but it is a good way to tell if someone with lots of followers is likely to have increased their follower count by inorganic, fraudulent, or dishonest means.

Great roadmap Crowetic and a warm welcome to the new teams that are joining forces with Burst to make sure that alts fulfil their potential and not turn into a pool of failed experiments.

In terms of fundamentals and infrastructure, Burst is in a league of its own. Strong numbers all round in terms of new users, miners and windows wallet downloads. I just think that those numbers need to be advertised and emphasised a bit more. They are impressive so why not show them off 

I feel it is just a matter of time before all the strong fundamentals are translated into price.

Keep up the good work guys

Impressive stats guys, and very well done to the whole team for keeping the project going.

was checking out empinel repo and stumbled across this:

https://github.com/empinel/experimental/commit/27fc3b625f29c50db594393f617f721d6a4221d7

Could you please elaborate on what's going on there?


*Few coins will be delisted from poloniex on the 3rd of the 6th and I am thinking if Fibre doesn't step up, it will get delisted too in the next round alongside some other very low volume/very low interest coins.

I used to mine it at the start because i had empty HDD space and I liked POC.
 


There is nothing bad about the coin itself, the front end isn't really much of a problem as we do have the in wallet block-explorer and we are kept up to date through this forum. What is not good about BURST in my opinion is sadly its community (not all obviously) . The community is fractured and some of the trolls and old thread participants are either sulking or licking their wounds from selling out cheap and not believing or they just don't give a damn anymore.
BURST's community seems to be one of the tightest too. The last 2 major crowdfunds that we had were sadly donated to by a handful of community members and those were mainly part of the dev team itself.
What BURST community is good at though, is actually pointing out what needs to be done and highlighting the fact that crowdfunds are and should be contributed to, however, some don't seem to follow that up with actually contributing (few forum members come to mind haha)
i honestly find it quite nauseating at times, since we have an amazing group of devs and I feel like the community can do more to show them that they are and their work is appreciated.

What I appreciate the most about BURST is the fact that it is truly decentralised due to its low entry and maintenance costs and asic resistance. Anyone with a computer and soon with an android phone can mine it thanks to DaWallet and co. It is green, sustainable and very innovative. Automated Transactions make it in a class of its own. Maybe we need to start calling them "smart contracts" so that the crypto folk find it easy to "understand"  
From an investment point of view, I believe that BURST is a money spinner. It has one of the best if not the best risk/reward ratios out there. When you see "DAO" trading at 23k satoshi with 1.2 billion coin supply, you realise that BURST is so undervalued currently and the upside potential has suddenly shot up to 100xs.

I apologise if my post came across as "aggressive", I guess being franc and direct nowadays constitutes to aggressiveness. If you wait not for an hour but a mere 5 minutes, you will quickly realise that actually demanding donations and threatening to cease development on something can also be perceived as an aggressive tactic to get a reward for your hard work.


I am not angry, and I see a pattern developing by now, perhaps you are just frustrated and angry that your CF was not funded, and I can understand that. I was merely replying to your post in what I believed was a respectful manner, not agreeing with what you wrote doesn't warrant accusing me of " projecting my anger" and being aggressive. Why would i be angry anyway?  ?


I am not sure whether you are basing your finding on actual data or you just like to make general claims and generalisations. These same users are the ones who spent their hard earned cash mining the coins, trading the coins as well as hoarding them.
I guess these customers/investors are only appreciated when they pump and hype certain developer's coins, when these customers see their investment's value fall down by 90%, these same developers would expect the customers to still invest and if they don't, then they are somehow bad, unhelpful and greedy?

Not all of us are in this for moon prices, I support this coin with my hard earned cash because I believe in its devs, their vision and what they are trying to achieve here



This was one member of this great community writing a post, it has nothing to do with the rest of community or its culture. Remember, the bigger the sample size, the  more accurate your statistical inference would be. A sample size of 1, would that even be acceptable?

Anyway, I wish you the best of luck and great success with your projects.

Wow, check out the attitude on this guy, we are demanding donations now, are we?
Your timing was wrong and your attitude was even worse. It is an open source project, we have devs who have been working on the project for as long as I remember and they never asked for a dime and they should as they are doing a very good job at keeping the project going. Your timing was bad because you started your CF towards the end of a very important android mining related CF (much more important than your little project in terms of its significance to the long term survival of BURST).


If all the devs had your attitude then it would be safe to say that cryptocurrency would not exist as we know it today.

Thank you for writing the CF guide though, I was actually quite thrilled with your initial positiveness and enthusiasm. Sorry that you feel like your time was wasted.

i humbly think that naivety is to assume that others are naive. I also think that all human qualities are beautiful except greed, deception amongst others, some of which are quite rife in crypto communities.

there was a time when the network size was three times its current size, and four times its size before the recent increase and the chain was a lot younger then. What happened to burst then? nothing
we had a guy who got close to 50% of the network, what happened then? nothing
these events are supposed to reassure us and comfort the current miners/holders/traders and possibly the new comers too.

i also admire and share your love for knowledge and I am sorry I couldn't contribute on a technical level but what I disagree with is starting a storm over an issue that had already occurred at some point(s) in the past. You have the right to seek knowledge but you can't dictate when it should be available to you, give them sometime to respond at least

you can write as many posts as you like as long as they are not constantly telling the same story, and I will also stop posting as I don't want to be accused of spamming the thread as well  

imo higher hashrate should be celebrated and not feared so I don't understand the logic here. lets not get too greedy, we have had the chance to mine burst for 19 months now. Most crypto projects would love to see a rise in their hashrate. if the rise in hashrate will lead to negative effects, then it would be better to find out about those issues and hopefully fix them and move on. I don't believe that bitladen meant to harm burst, he is a clever trickster, few ppl got tricked and got out and other stayed on because this coin is bigger than any miner or single entity. let's leave him behind us and if he is back, then let him do what he wants. if burst is strong enough, then it will stand on its feet despite his efforts
before data is analysed, it needs to be collected first. it has only been few days and you are panicking already (or not)

keep it cheerful  

Hey Turn0ff, whats with the constant spamming and scaremongering, you are literally turning me off this thread, are you the new elmit by any chance? the coin is recovering after being dumped to oblivion, instead of taking a sigh of relief and consolidating, you are starting all this propaganda. The coin is meant to be mined, so when the hashrate was low, ppl were complaining, and now it is recovering, ppl are complaining again?
even if 1.3mil was sold daily on the exchanges it would hardly constitute to a dump, it will be swallowed in 1 candle. this is a great coin, with one of the best community members in crypto,
if you want to buy more at below 50 then I am afraid you are too late, if you sold and want to buy back cheaper, too late and if you are trying to shake the last of weak hands, i am pretty sure they are all gone.
Can't make out whether you are actually a whale or a troll.

Burst is a pink diamond and it is sitting right in your coffers, enough with the bullshit please

happy mining

being on poloniex alone is worth more than this coin's current price. so if you add up all the other tech it has, community, coin supply, you will find that the it is so undervalued. I feel lucky i got few thousand yesterday. It is one of those trades where you are risking $10 for $100, not many coins left with this kind of risk/reward.

bought all the coins under 27k, 24k on Trex and Polo, any more for sale under 25k sat?, put them on the exchanges, thx
edit
I think i am done buying for now

sorry, I was checking https://github.com/ambiprofin/fibre from earlier posts.

edit:
just checked his repo, seems impressive. it also seems that supernet integration is done?

I think i was given the wrong info, blitz github merging new pulls and not fibre
also, this new developer's github page was deleted so maybe it was all a hoax

no one is selling? sell side is so thin if I spend 5 btc, the price will jump +400%, liquidity is super rubbish

I am hearing the new wallet will be ninja launched with a new website within 1-3 days, not much left under 30k  

edit: looking to buy 20k fibre for the supernodes, anyone interested put sell order @25k sat on polo or trex

Thank you Crowetic, I hope SuperNet will be one of many crypto and non-crypto companies to list their assets on the Burst Exchange


Personally, I am not interested in rumours and news stories. Please check the following link for more information regarding the matter.

this is what I actually said/asked


Here is SuperNet/ jl777 statement regarding the issue which he/she released less than an hour ago:

Thank you for your reply

Dear Burstcoin Devs, Management and Community, Hello

SuperNet may stop using NXT for their asset management in the near future because of some disagreements over upcoming upgrades to the NXT platform. Has there been any discussions between the Burst management team and their SuperNet counterparts over possibly using the Burst AE as an alternative solution? Would the Burst team and community be interested if such an offer came up?

thank you
