Chart Buddy was banned for too much spam and not enough posts back in the day....

... from what I remember on Chart Buddy going away on WO, back in the day, anyway...

Chart Buddy wasn't banned. RichyT had a falling out with Theymos in the Block Size Wars and packed up and moved to the "other forum" (same one Adam went to) taking Chart Buddy with him.

this is an automated post but unfortunately I'm not able to post it via my bot account Gyrsur_Bot because of restrictions.

Let's say you get this ticker verified and able to run the bot ticker account just for prices as you wish...I've been here long enough that you likely would be banded, like 'chart buddy' from posting on Wall Observer anyway. Chart Buddy was banned for too much spam and not enough posts back in the day....on W0.
So 'likely' you would have to put this bot account if given permission on your 'own' thread that people would have to tag to see...
you might be better off just asking Thermos to put such a BTC Ticker on the main page or Bitcointalk or have it show up as an addition to your profile info page....or something

Anyway, from what I remember on Chart Buddy going away on WO, back in the day, anyway...

Chartbuddy posted every hour, and Richy_T had some kind of special permission, so NOT sure if Gysur would need special permission, and was Gysur planning to post hourly or some other increment, which might make a difference too regarding whether his bot would trigger some kind of prohibited conduct.  There are already some exemptions in regards to the way that we are allowed to post in the WO thread, too.

Warning: Distressing content

A frontline doctor caring for seriously ill coronavirus patients has given a brutally detailed description of what it's like to die from the virus.

Dr David Hepburn, an intensive care consultant at the Royal Gwent Hospital in Wales, was asked by the UK's Channel 4 to explain how someone can die after contracting coronavirus.

His devastatingly simple answer, in full:

"What we know is primarily the coronavirus causes respiratory failure. So when it spreads to the lungs, it causes what we call a pneumonitis, where the lungs become very wet and waterlogged inside. So the normal mechanisms that keep fluid in the blood break down. The little membranes and tissues and the bases of the lungs become porous, and that allows fluid to leak in from the circulation into the lungs, almost like drowning.

"One of the things we provide with ventilators is pressure, which pushes some of that fluid out and helps to keep the lungs open. So ... people become exhausted because the work of breathing is so great that they basically become exhausted and die.

 "So, if you imagine your lungs are normally like a nice, light sponge – light and easy to move. If you've ever pulled a sponge out of a bucket of water you'll know how heavy and wet can become. It's exactly the same thing – if your lungs are absolutely sodden, then it's very, very difficult to breathe.

"What happens over time is people's levels of oxygen fall, the levels of carbon dioxide, which is a gas you normally breathe out, rise in the blood. That makes you even more drowsy – it has a narcotic effect. And then people will slowly develop worsening respiratory failure, and eventually they'll become unconscious and their breathing will get more shallow and they'll die."

...

 And Hepburn explained that this isn't the only cause of death among patients suffering from coronavirus – he'd also seen patients die from "multi-organ failure", as the kidneys, lungs, liver and even circulation progressively shut down.

"We've also seen patients who develop a thing called a myocarditis. Often when they're starting to recover – the heart can become very adversely affected and they develop heart failure. That's been probably the leading cause of death in the Covid patients we've seen," he revealed.
I'm not medical but that doesn't sound like a snakebite?

Boris got it a week ago but heard was recovering.
I guess her speech got under his nerves.
That 6666th post should go right to the wall on that thread in meta. Cool

People start to go downhill properly right around the time he's popped off to hospital himself.

And it's not as if we're going to get the full truth. Perhaps a ten hour Twitter feed of his blue face and bulging eyes would convince more people to knuckle down.

He will be fine.


I wouldn't be so sure on this one. I think the people of the UK need to prepare themselves mentally for potential of losing their elected leader to this disease so the whole thing doesn't go to custard rapidly. It'll be a blow for the free world if he does succumb.

He doesn't strike me as someone who might exercise regularly or watch his diet too closely and clearly in one of the most stressful jobs in the country, not to mention the stressful circumstances. He's male, mid-50's (so no spring chicken) and then there's the unknown unknowns some people may be genetically predisposed to simply succumbing for no currently known reason ... not saying it will happen but be prepared UK.

Hopefully, Bruno is not disadvantaged by you dumping that shit on him.. .

In light if the fact that he posted a BCH address explicitly for donations for this purpose, your postulated scenario seems rather unlikely.

Fair enough... That is surely a relevant fact that I had not recalled at the time that I wrote out my response to you... Yet, my other points are likely fair, including pointing out d_eddie's mentioning gresham's law and also concerns about the problematic nature of other people receiving that crap who might NOT have asked for it (which was not the situation in Bruno's case specifically, as you said).

Wow, didn't realise what I posted would cause so much drama. Apologies for that.

No problem. I'll reciprocate with apologies for my rash name calling (quickly edited, but still not before quoted).

While I have no normative statistics to which I can point, I am convinced the average BCR-er knows a fuckton more about BTC than your average BTC-er knows about BCH. Why would you trust me on this? Maybe because I'm the one in this interaction that spends time in both said communities.
No need to prop up your purported bcasher knowledge here... it is largely irrelevant, because the vast majority of the time none of us gives more than two shits about that crapcoin..  except maybe from time to time when it seems to be dragging on the BTC price, which sometimes does happen with some of the drama over there, whether bcash or bcash SV.

By the way, we don't even really have jonoiv to pick on because he ended up being (kind of) correct about sub $6k,

For which you excoriated him/her incessantly, and even browbeat anyone who pointed out that your behavior in that regard was offensive. Does that paragraph serve in your mind as the apology to jonoiv that any claim to civil decency would require?

I stand by my earlier posts.  I was just bringing up jonoiv as an example of a situation that related to what I had mentioned earlier.  Of course, your spin, to the extent that you are being genuine here, is different than my understanding of the situation, but of course, it is NOT really beyond you to engage in white knighting when you believe that it might serve your purpose(s) in some way, including potentially attempting to try to minimize your own shitcoin pumping behaviors and other disingenuous misleading posts in regard to bullshit BIG block theories and purported utility or justifications for the existence of bcash variants, as if they had started for some kind of noble and genuine purpose besides just serving as an attack vector against bitcoin and other means to mislead people in regards to the value of bitcoin rather than the various bullshit snake oils that those bcash variants happen to be.

Look, do you want to have a debate in good faith?
No thanx, In case you havn't noticed I dont debate folks on this thread, I just call em as I see em.

Ibi doesn't see it that way. He likes pickles. Wink


Or do you just wanna insult people?
Calling you intelligent is insulting you? Whatever man....

Yes. Don't do that. He is deeply offended.


We can do either.
Fuck off , hows that?

A quick visit to the /r/btc subreddit will show you just that.

ALL of reddit is a cesspool. This surprises you?

That doesn't mean BCH doesn't work and that you can't transfer value... just that the reasonings for its existence are flawed and serve to push an agenda.

No, BCH's reason for existence is as a means of transferring value. Specifically, an uncensorable one that does not collapse in functionality as demand for its use rises. How is this flawed? You're still way off base.

Raja, I'm sorry mate, terrible news, thoughts are with you Sad

Hey, heslo.  To the extent that you are kicking yourself (or apologizing) at any level for denigrating bcash or any of its variants, or bringing up the topic in a negative way, you should not feel any regrets.

Fuck bcash and its variant other shitcoin similitudes and other shitcoins too.  Fuck them all, and fuck the complications that might come in the event that you might receive some shitcoin and have to figure out how to cash it out for fiat or for bitcoin.

Yeah, some of us might be able to dance our way around some of these shitcoins, but frequently we might end up in some kind of vulnerability or some other bullshit when we are trying to deal with some of the shitcoins which might be o.k. for some of the more hard core bitcoiners amongst us, but surely could either fuck some other people up or turn them off to bitcoin too when they end up getting screwed over by some shitcoin, aka just like corona virus in several comparable ways.

I'm not sorry for shitting on BCH, I'm sorry for the drama I caused in here by saying it. Now probably isn't the time for everyone to be at each other arguing talking points, especially with all the shit going on. But yeah, you're right, fuck them all Cheesy Cheesy

You cannot really avoid fights in here, and many of us are NOT purposefully provoking.  At least, I don't claim to be purposefully provoking - even though sometimes (or maybe a bit more than necessary) I might engage with a topic or a post, when it would be totally reasonable just to let the post stand, and not engage with it.  

Opinions can differ too in regards to how to talk about shitcoins or even whether to mention shitcoins, so perhaps arguably, you could have employed a different analogy in order to NOT necessarily trigger that kind of discussion, so maybe in that regard, a lesson could be learned, but those kinds of decisions are completely discretionary, and I suppose that if there is a pattern we might start to believe that heslo is a shit-stirrer.. hahahahaha... perhaps?  Perhaps?

Sure, I understand also that tensions are likely quite high, including if people are getting sick, getting exposed to sick people, cooped up in their houses and maybe not really in a preferable situation and even losing work or income while various investments are going down in price, including BTC (or at least uncertainties regarding whether BTC is going to rebound or maybe even get drug down more than we had previously thought to be possible, so even with a rebound, we cannot really rest assured about how to deal with its future price performance potential, or even weighing that with our other investments, if any).

By the way, we don't even really have jonoiv to pick on because he ended up being (kind of) correct about sub $6k, and he even seemed to chime in about being able to buy back his .5BTC or whatever it was that he had sold in the $6k territory that we had previously considered to have had been quite unlikely to be revisiting such prices...  In any event, even jonoiv was not very specific about what he did exactly, and if he had bought back everything or continued to wait, but at the same time, a lot of members here did not have a lot of will power to try to razzle him or to interrogate him because many of us probably had been in some level of shock and might even continue to be in some kind of level of ongoing shock and rattled status.   Go figure.

Oh I'm definitely a shit stirrer Cheesy Just didn't mean to be in this instance

At least he will have the best medical attention possible and guaranteed access to a ventilator in case he needs it. And concentrated oxygen just so he isn't short of breath even if his symptoms are mild. WTF he would surely even be hooked to one of the very few available "artificial lung" blood oxygenator if needed.

Also I am sure everyone around him will be using top-notch PPE's to make sure to not increase his viral load.

He will be fine.

P.S.: Not that I don't understand why we need to give the best service possible to "our" leaders... but just saying.
