What is going on with BONKbot and Solana meme coins

 OK, so I am either really bad at trading or something is up. I am just seeing way too much oddness. I am constantly losing and I am being very careful. Between BONKBOT and Dex screener showing me that I am up 30% till I hit sell, then lag, then all the sudden I sel at a loss. This happens all the time. I am not just talking 5$ either. I will watch a chart and study the heck out of it. I enter and all the sudden, it never gets above 10% and when it does. the above happens. So I try for less, and guess what as soon as I buy, no matter the coin, it tanks. I just don't understand what is up here. I am about done with the BONKbot, it fdoes nothing for me at all. All the hype must be those trying to get referral links, but I am just saying, if I show you all my trades, you would be like wtf. You see these you tubes of people winning and i constantly change my strategy to one that is a lot more conservative and I still lose. as soon as I purchase the chart stops and doesn't do anything but go down, may a 3% gain but that is when I am down 30%, I try to buy more and it tanks more. I am just about done with this crap, I am either very bad, very unlucky or something else is going on here. It turns out BONKbot has a relationship with each DEX and maybe something is going on there, is anyone else having these issues?????

WARNING ABOUT BONK BOT on Salana Blockchain Telegram

 With the Crypto market doing so well, a lot of people have been jumping to defies and such stuff. I recently decided to check out the Solana defy and when I did, I started playing with the what they call the **** coins or crap coins and was introduced to bonk bot through a YouTube video. It seemed like a good idea. It actually seemed to work pretty well. Sometimes, unfortunately, about 50% of the trades would end in error. And I would still get charged the transaction fees. So basically. let's say, on $20 $8 went towards fees that for transactions that never happened. I tried to get support and through the bonk bot it takes you to a chat channel on telegram. When I go into the chat channel, I was there for maybe two seconds, and I get banned. I then would get a phone call or a message from one user who tried to get me to go to a website and give them my public key and say that it would reboot the bot and everything would be fine because the errors I was getting. I'm not that dumb. I was not going to do that I then. had another user message me who was quite helpful and she got me access back into the channel. I get back in the channel, I get banned again right after that I get a message from a guy named Bonk BOT Dev. with a blue label next to his name on telegram.  He asks me if I had any problem, and I told him one of my problem was he then proceeds to give me alternative bots to try. They were valid bots at that time. You know, they were alternative bots. I'd gotten a list from the other user and I was still getting the same error. He then proceeded to tell me, hey, listen, we are working on getting our debug bots going. Let let me try to see what I can I can find out. So he gives me another address for this bot and it's another bunk bot. It looked legitimate But when I went there it was a different wallet. He then gives me the process of exporting of the wallet to another wallet. I didn't think anything of it, I thought because it was a dev bot. Maybe they actually had a way of specifying a wallet and not tying it into the main system Being a developer, I thought maybe that was possible. I did not think. And because this guy was so patient, he didn't immediately try to get me to do this It was only after several failures of trying the alternatives and still getting failures that this was happening. And I don't know how he knew that. So it makes me wonder is how much he was involved with the original bonk bot because again, the original bonk bot is what puts me in this telegram channel, which seems to be cont bot. You're not going to get any support. You get nothing but errors, which are going to get charged for anyway. And they take 1% of everything. So if I were you, try to find another method, stay off a telegram. Those spots are nothing but bad stuff. Reddit. Same thing anytime. Anytime you enter these places like a wallet channel or a bot channel, immediately people know that you're probably there for support. So then they come up with their scams. And this guy, this **** bot dev, let me tell you, he was good. He was really good. A social engineering tactics were really good. And then finally, when he got me to do with his debug bot, I didn't think anything of it being a developer. I'm like, wow, that makes sense. He got me when I used the bot, it was a legitimate bot. It operated just like the original bonk bot. But I don't believe it was And when I go to import the wallet, it didn't change the wallet. But when I went to go look at my wallet, guess what? He cleared it out, sold off my assets within seconds. I don't know how he did it, but he did. So as far as I'm concerned, he he earned that 35 bucks. But you know, what if I had hundreds, hundreds of thousands, billions? Who knows? Millions of dollars he would have taken. They probably have taken a lot of people. I just. wanted to make people aware of what's going on. So as far as bombard is going, stay the stay away from it. I haven't made any posts in a long time on this blog, but I'm going to post this everywhere. Stay away from bonk bot and other telegram bots. It's bad news. You will get taken advantage of if the bots aren't failing and giving you errors and charging you unnecessary fees. And also, by the way, they're not that fast. transactions take a while to execute sometimes. You're just better off doing the swap yourself. Don't believe it? and stay away from all those extra percentages. It's all a scam. Rug pulls everything else. It's not as good as it looks. The percentages are off. You'll see something. I'll say 1 million percent. That's because the people are. They're starting it at such a like lower level than a penny already makes it you know, half a million percent sometimes. So do not pay attention to those exorbitant percentages. And oh, you can make a lot of money. Yeah, it looks like you can with the swings, but it's highly unlikely you have to be very lucky. Trust me on this. I've tried it. I've seen it. I've been evaluating it because be careful. Stay away from bonk bot. Any other bots? They're not worth it. Try to learn to program your own. If you're going to do it, you know, there's so much crypto fraud out there right now. People be careful. I cannot believe I got taken. It's like probably the 9th attempt in the last two weeks of people trying to take my wallet and my money trying to do different things and learn different things. There's a lot of stuff. Of course it's new. There's a lot of information out there. And there's so many scammers. There's so many people trying to, you know, say, hey, you can make money if you do this and this and that, try this and all they want to do is try to get your wallet and your keys and take all your money. And they don't think twice about it and they don't care. They will do it. You know, like this guy said, hey, come and get me. I'm in India. I don't care, you know. So anyway, I hope this helps somebody else in the same situation. Bonk bot swap failure. Stay away from it. Bad deal. Swap failed errors left and right. NO SUPPORT AT ALL and you will have a hard time withdrawing out of it.

How to set your location for local news in google news

Recently I have moved to another location and I noticed that when I would go to Google News it would display news from my previous location. I looked around the application settings for Google News and the only thing I could find for location settings was basically my country so I decided to poke around to see what could be causing news from a previous location come up all the time.

So after trying some things I came upon the solution to Google News displaying news from another location then where I am currently location. All you have to do is open google maps, either the application or website and set your home address. Once that has been saved, your Google News application should now show the local news from this location. It turns out that most Google applications are now using this home address in Google maps to target your location.

So to sum this up, to get Google News to display your local news, open Google Maps and set your home address.

Destination folder access denied you need permission to perform this action In Windows

Recently I decided to try and move my Micrososft Store files off my C drive. While doing this many parts of Windows 10 stopped functioning properly. My only option was to try and move the folders and files back. Well when in the process of doing so I started getting the error "Destination folder access denied you need permission to perform this action " . Now the first thing one would think is make sure you take ownership of the destination folder and grant the user full permissions. This didn't work, so there seems to be some sort of file or folder permission issues within Windows 10. So finally I decided to rename the folder in the destination directory as it only contained one file. i was able to rename this folder and then copy my folder from the other drive back without issue. I then took the one file in the folder I renamed and copied that in the new folder and then was able to delete the other folder. There is surely some sort of bug going on here, but it seems that if you rename the destination folder and reapply permissions and then copy into a new folder, it works without issue. hope this helps solve someone else head ache as I have been working on this for some time today and really everything I seem to do lately in Windows 10 seems to be too involved with some sort of issue.

How to still get Windows 10 for Free After July 29th. Get Window 10 for Free


Here are two ways to Get the Windows 10 Upgrade for free now after July 29th. All links have been verified and used as of 10/20/2016.

First just want to let you know. I started advertising with AdF.ly so when you click a link it may show you an advertisement, they are virus and malware free, if you decide to download and install any of their offerings or you can just click skip the ad as it will take you to the link. Any issues please let me know.

 OK, as some of you know Microsoft was giving away Windows 10 for free to users who had Windows 7 +. Well for those of you who waited or did not grab the ISO waiting on a service pack 1, don;'t worry, there are still ways to get get Windows 10 for Free. Yes I said it, you can still get Windows 10 for free after July 29th 2016. Here are a few ways that I have found to upgrade your version of Windows 7, 8, 8.1:

#1 Become a Windows Insider.which you can do here: Become a Windows Insider if you are not one you can choose how fast you receive updates, slow track or fast track, this also works for Windows Phone and Windows devices. Only downside to this, it would be considered beta and some do not like running that.  Once you are an insider you can download Windows 10 if you are running windows 7+, or even Windows 10. You can then use the Windows 10 RefreshWindowsTool. This will remove all the bloat and do a fresh install of Windows 10 from the Anniversary build, You can download the fresh image from here:Windows 10 Refresh Tool Images Then remove yourself from the insider program and you then switch to slow updates and it will be as if you have retail. If you cannot find this tool email me or send a comment and I can send it to you.

Here is also a good article on how to use the Refresh Windows Tool: Learn about how the Windows 10 Refresh Tool Image Works

#2 is Microsoft has still made Windows 10 available for those with accessibility, which you can get here:

Windows 10 upgrade for assistive technology users

The direct download link at this time is : Windows10Upgrade24074.exe

At this time this means if you use narrator or any accessibility device or software you can easily upgrade or even later when they no longer have the download available per their FAQs, so if you need the file and it is no longer up, message me. Microsoft really has no way to verify this, so I am not sure how long this will will be made available. Plus at some time or another some have used narrator of magnifier glass or zoom in.

I have seen a few others posted out there, but these I have used on a few of my own machines without any issues. There is a one reporting if you change the time you can trick the Microsoft server into serving you the old page etc... I did try this and it was nothing but a nightmare and didn't work for me, and and tried this today 9/4.

Anyway, hope this helps some one save some time and enjoy Windows 10.

Solution for Error Mounting drive the NTFS partition is in an unsafe state in Linux

I am currently dual booting between Windows 10 and Ubuntu Linux 14.04.

Everything was fine until today, I booted into Windows 10 and it ran some updates. I then rebooted into Linux and could no longer access my non Linux partitions.

I then started to get the error Unable to access "DRIVE NAME" Error mounting /dev/sda# as /location. Windows is hibernated, refused to mount. Failed to mount '/dev/sda#/' Operation not permitted The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully(no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume read only with the 'ro' mount option.

Well I could have just mounted the drive read only and copied everything off of the partition, reformat and then start all over, but considering I did nothing to cause this error and it may happen again I needed a quick fix for this issue now and in the future. So after some research and tinkering around I found that I could fix this error using ntfsfix

So at the terminal I typed sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda9 and saw the following:

Mounting volume... The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).
Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount. FAILED
Attempting to correct errors...
 Processing $MFT and $MFTMirr...
Reading $MFT... OK
Reading $MFTMirr... OK
Comparing $MFTMirr to $MFT... OK
Processing of $MFT and $MFTMirr completed successfully.
Setting required flags on partition... OK
Going to empty the journal ($LogFile)... OK
Checking the alternate boot sector... OK
NTFS volume version is 3.1.

Once it ran, I could now mount the drive and read it no problem.

 Hope this saves someone else some time.

How to Install Oracle VM Virtual Box In Ubuntu Linux

Well as I am finding the Ubuntu Software center seems like such a great idea, it is rarely updated and well, still needs some work.

GO here:

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

I have a 64-bit installation and machine with VM enabled in the bios so I choose this installation:

http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.0.18/virtualbox-5.0_5.0.18-106667~Ubuntu~trusty_amd64.deb

After the download, open it with the software center.

If the Ubuntu Software center says you need to update the package for any reason do this first then do the installation.

Once the installation is complete, you should be able to confirm by simply clicking the Windows Key or if you are running Unity , you should see the "Oracle VM Virtualbox" . Once you click on that icon it should open the Oracle VM Virtualbox Manager without any issue and allow you to play with your Virtual box VMs/ Here are a couple of websites that have some prebuilt Virtual Boxes for you to play with, the first one brags of having over 240,000 prebuilt Virtual Box Images. Enjoy...

https://virtualboximages.com/
http://www.osboxes.org/virtualbox-images/

If you have any issues please let me know and I wkll gladly see if I can give oyu a hand...

Windows Phone Emulator hanging at Windows Phone OS is Starting ... using Visual Studio , Windows 8.1, and Hyper-V

I recently setup a Windows Phone 8.1 Project in Visual Studio. I started the debugger and the Windows phone emulator came up. After it said loading it then changed to Windows Phone OS is Starting... It then seemed to sit there for a while.


Before you do anything, please note that if this is the first time running the Windows Phone Emulator, and it has never fully loaded, it can take some time, You might have to wait for it to finish loading , which took me 5 Minutes and 35 Seconds the first load. The next time you debug it, it will only take about 16 seconds. As you can see the first time it runs it takes a long long time, this must be due to creating and configuring Hyper-V and the Image for the Windows Phone Emulater. Please note I do have a very fast newer machine, even then it still took over 5 minutes. So I would run it for at least 10 -15 minutes, if your emulater still does not get past the OS loading, then I would try the following steps:

Here is how I finally got the Windows Phone emulator running in Windows 8.1 using Visual Studio 2013:

I ran XdeCleanup.exe as Administrator. This was located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\8.1 and C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\8.0 on my machine. I did run both.

I then went into the Hyper-V Manager and deleted the virtual machine for the Windows Phone, if it is still showing:

I then opened up Visual Studio and noticed that I still had the same issue. I then went into Program and Features and clicked on Windows Phone 8.1 Emulators, then clicked Change. Once I clicked change, I  got the following error: Windows Phone 8.1 Emulators - ENU has stopped working.



Now I decided to try and reinstall the Windows Phone 8.1 Emulators, which I found at the location https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44574 , yet when I downloaded the installer and then cliecked INSTALL, nothing happened. I rebooted and the same issue.

I then decided to try and install the update, which I had not had installed, but came across it on the site, the Windows Phone 8.1 Update and Emulators installer is located here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=43719

Now that I had this installed I rebooted again and ran my project in Visual Studio 2013, running Visual Studio as Administrator. It got to Windows Phone OS is Starting and I walked away from the PC for a few minutes. When I came back I noticed that it had loaded, it took over 5 minutes to load for the first time:



To sum it up, even though I went through all these steps, it turns out, if you have never run the Windows Phone Emulator before and you create a Windows Phone project in Visual Studio and run the debugger, it will create the Virtual Machine and whatever goes along with it. So the first load can take a long time, over 5 minutes. Please let me know how it works out for you.

Creating a Google Application for use in Visual Studio Part 1 - Registering your application with Google

Welcome to part one of my Creating a Google Application for Windows Phone. The first post in my series will be how to setup your application , first by registering your application with Google.

You will want to start by first registering your application here at the Google Developer Console. https://console.developers.google.com


Click on create project

 Now you have the ability to create your project name and to show advanced options. The advance options would be used to choose your application data center. I would leave default if you plan on having the majority of your users USA based, if you plan on having more users in Europe or that side of the world you would use the advanced options to change the application data center to that side of the Earth,

Now you will notice most names have been taken, the internal google name will be different, for instance I choose MYAPP, the google application name will be something like MYAPP-0001. In this case I am creating my application named GooGPhone.

Once the application is created you will be brought to the dashboard, here you can add the APIs and try many aspects of the Google Cloud services. In this case we are only interested in the API.



Now before we can access the APIs from an application, we will need to create our credentials. This will be covered in the next part of this series. Till then happy coding and take care...
