freeing crypto investment?
by Karl 23 Jan '21

23 Jan '21

just trying to spark a little dialogue So you know, a cryptocurrency trading bot can make over _1%_return _per_day_ on investment, trading on cryptocurrency exchanges. This is because of political attacks on cryptocurrency markets preventing the prices from stabilising. it would be helpful to work with people of opposing politics on such things, so we can become wealthy. personally, i have no income at this time, and have spent my savings. There are a number of issues one runs into when trying to maintain such a bot, and a number of known solutions to such issues. It is hard for me to type them. i've run into issues trading cryptocurrency, and suspect private machine learning algorithms and private organised communities are artificially stimulating things to increase their profits or control the markets. i have seen trading behavior change in response to the introduction of new bots and in response to their immediate behaviors, severely reducing the effect of backtesting. i have also seen exchanges go down for many months, and i have seen falsified historical data, when a new kind of bot is introduced and sustained. One solution to these things is networks like the bitshares network, which offers decentralised trading of other cryptocurrencies with a cryptographic on-chain log. There is an existing bot for bitshares called dexbot: https://github.com/Codaone/DEXBot . I believe funding for dexbot has been cut due to a "political climate", I could be wrong. i have also experienced falsification of bitshares web frontends, so there's value to running your own node eventually. it is hard to find a good bot to use. some are available for pay; as an open-source developer, it is very frustrating to not be able to easily fix bugs when encountered, a problem with for-pay closed-source trading bots. open source trading bots tend to be very poorly maintained. one bot i've used a bit is this open source for-pay one from catalonia: https://github.com/ctubio/Krypto-trading-bot . unfortunatelyt, the backends to the actual exchanges are closed source and you have to buy a license for each one. if you crack them, which isn't hard, you'll have to change the network behavior so it doesn't report your crack to the dev, who may change the license protection algorithm in response, because he is struggling to use the profits to defend the freedom of his oppressed friends. the interface to these exchanges is public, but can change unlesss you work with the developer to keep it stable. there was some discussion around adding a bitshares backend to Krypto-trading-bot. this has not been implemented, but I started making an open-source one briefly back then. my work is linked at https://github.com/ctubio/Krypto-trading-bot/issues/916#issuecomment-514036… . Neither Krypto-trading-bot nor Dexbot (the two separate open source trading bots each linked in paragraphs above) perform backtesting or log history of their actions. These behaviors are important, because you need to set specific parameters for the trading algorithms to tune them to the crypto market, and to the current behavior of that market, to get the >=1% average daily return. These can be set automatically if accurate market and bot-action history is available. =)

https://www.palmerreport.com/analysis/fox-news-goes-completely-off-the-rail… Maria Bartiromo is arguably even more of a deranged conspiracy theorist than Sean Hannity or Tucker Carlson. Jim Bell, sorry, Lin Wood, update... https://www.palmerreport.com/community/lin-wood-finally-done-himself-in/357…

"... May I ask you why you call him Assmange, language barrier for me, because I am no native English speaker? ..." Because he reminds me of a disease called ' The Mange ". Its a mnemonic. I find these help when dealing with a large class of characters and a lot of data. "... I guess we all can agree that he only had obtained a couple of bits and bytes and if people responsible for 'securing' important or sensitive material, they better had locked away such documents on paper and put them in metal cabinets or safes and guard them. .." I guess we can all see his cypherpunk days are long gone now he wants to be called a journalist.

Julian Assmange? Wasn't he the journo that once said , " Cypherpunks are all about privacy for the poor and transparency for the powerful "? Of course, I said it weeks before him - but its the thought that counts.

BIDEN Vs anarchism
by professor rat 21 Jan '21

21 Jan '21

A resounding clash of ideologies. Back in the 90's Biden was for Clipper before going on to describe ( then ) cypherpunk Assmange as a ' Technoterrorist ". In his book, Comey implied Bambi didn't understand encryption - so he couldn't have availed himself of his Veep's deep reserves of experience. Seems uncontroversial to say Donald Dumbfuck didn't understand crypto either. And now they wheel out this idiot, Joe Biden again. I don't think he'll make it to 2024. In fact 10 AVA sez he'll be assassinated. I can't work with morons.
