Dear all,
I have setup our non profit through the Microsoft non profit program. We have migrated all data to Sharepoint/ Teams and are using exchange online.
We have one dynamic distribution list with about 30 external stakeholders (gmail.com, hotmail.com, iCloud.com...). Although I have gone through all email configurations, certificates, etc.
Gmail blocks all mails that come from an external party to the distribution list. So anyone with a gmail account does not receive those mails. If the mails are send from an internal account, the mails go through without problem.
Mailtracer shows the following reason:

Reason: [{LED=421-4.7.28 Gmail has detected an unusual rate of unsolicited mail. To protect 421-4.7.28 our users from spam, mail has been temporarily rate limited.

I have already tried following the Google help page and everything should be configured correctly. Still google blocks these mails...
Did anyone come across this issue so far?
Thanks!

A basic guide to how it happens
Method 1 - There were litterally epic employees that were dodgy and would hand out information that you would need to claim an account for a certain amount of bitcoin, such as the address and name of the account holder, the last 4 numbers of the first credit card used, they would provide the first reciept, and the ip address etc. so you’ll literally could go on live chat make sure your ip was similar to the original ip using proxies tell them all the info and claim the account.
Method 2 - your email was leaked in a data breach with hundreds or millions of other users such as the bots vpn data breach for example and the hacker will sell this info to others who would scan the email with checkers to see what the email is signed up to, that hacker will sell to people who are interested in categories ie. Spotify, epic games, steam then from there the next hacker who brought the epic logs scans them with another checker who can see what skins are available and sell them individually so someone could buy an account anywhere from $5- $1000 depending on the skins have access to one’s email and have the opportunity to change the email or leave it on the original email.
Method 3 - some people get ratted with malware/ Trojans such as redline stealer and others let’s say you click on a freevbucksgenerator.exe that will instantly infect your computer all your logins you’ve ever saved in chrome would be sent to the hacker via cookies so they could literally log into gmail hotmail whatever dosent matter if you have 2fa and google would think it is you this is where the hacker will log in change the emails to all your accounts to a new one such as your epic games accounts, steam, Spotify etc.
If you don’t know the exact ip you used to create your account, the exact location where you made the account or if you’ve moved countries or city’s chances are you won’t get your account back they’ll think your the hacker, You’ll need to know the first ever epic games name you made for the account, last 4 digits of the card you first used,The first email ever used,The first purchase you’ve ever made with a receipt screenshot
This is why epic customer service is the worst, if you’ve lost access to your email say good bye to your account,
Fuck Fortnite anyways it’s a never ending money pit, Stop Throwing Your Money Away
YOU ARE NEVER GUARANTEED YOUR ACCOUNT FOR EVER WITH THEM

I need to make many emails but i get blocked with phone verification, then i need to not get my new accounts banned which get detected via IP? Maybe imei on my phone?
The [x.d+d@gmail.com](mailto:x.d+d@gmail.com) doesnt work nor googlemail(or both)...
Proton and other emails are not accepted either.
And once i get a sms phone i pay for it or whatever, how to skip the ip ban that autobans any new account? Vpns dont work proxies idk how they work or where to buy i change my IP but they still know or im doing something wrong that they detect...
note that site offers to use google and facebook to register OR to make an actual account in the site, using google/yahoo/hotmail

I hold 20M Novation Companies OTCBB $NOVC common shares. Jason Stewart Director of MREIT Research at www.jonestrading.com & formerly Director at FBR, now EJF Capital Manny Friedman, Neal Wilson Co CEOs. Stewart July 2022 agreed with my thesis below. Then he ghosted me for 9 months until 3/11/23 when he called me to ask will I sell him 5M $NOVC Novation Co Shares and JonesTrading Compliance Department gave the approval to BUY $NOVC as many experts have been doing under vail SEC Rule 15c(2)-11 including David Dreman, Goldman Sachs and BLACKROCK.
Jason Stewart said "NO WAY WILL THESE INVESTORS FORTRESS, EJF, CAPITAL, HOWARD AMSTER, BARRY IGDALOFF AND THEIR CABAL INCLUDING MASSMUTUAL AND SUB- BARINGS, JEFFERIES, AND WHITE MOUNTAINS CAPITAL $WTM WASTE $NOVC $730M NOLS OR CCR RIGHTS WHICH HE UNDERSTANDS IN SPADES. HE WORKED AT EJF CAPITAL AND WAS THE BOOKER RUNNER FOR BOTH Dynex Capital NYSE $DX AND Saxon Capital $SAX (sold to Morgan Stanley for $76M), BOTH SPUN OUT OF THE SAME PUBLIC COMPANY IN GLEN ALLEN, VA
Does Jason Stewart understand another strategy? I do not know as he has not operated to his word and ghosted me for almost one year. JASON STEWART, DIRECTOR OF MREIT RESEARCH AT WWW.JONESTRADING.COM asked me to talk to Jonathan Montanus, VP at JonesTrading but I said not to bother unless they read $NOVC Proxy SEC Form 14A filed Oct 2018 which prices one $NOVC common right to vote/receive a dividend at $2.33/Common Share (precisely Jefferies and MassMutual and sub-Barings cost basis).

He agreed with my thesis. Jason Stewart said he knew Michael Sawyer ex CEO of Saxon Capital $SAX (MREIT spun out of the same public company as Dynex Capital NYSE $DX in Glen Allen, VA). SAX signed the P&S for the Sale of NOVC MREIT $NFI MSR mortgage service rights defined in Service Rights Transfer Agreement Section 5.04 SRTA that allow only $NOVC former tax-exempt MREIT NYSE $NFI to control billions of collateral assets (seasoned and WAC 600 Bpts). Jason Stewart stated he knew Howard Amster and Barry Igdaloff as he was the book runner at FBR Friedman, Billings, Ramsey now known as Compass Pointe Research and EJF Capital. Book Runners Investment Bank for both IPOs at $DX and $SAX (SAX is where NOVC aka $NFI Founders worked before founding $NOVC Lance Anderson, Scott Hartman, both ousted by Fortress and Barry Igdaloff, Howard Amster) $SAX MREIT signed SRTA Section 5.04 defined rights (Cleanup Call Rights CCR) that control billions of collateral assets see $NOVC Exhibit 2.1 of 10Q filed Q3 2007.
Jason Stewart told me he was meeting with his pals from EJF Capital in a few weeks. Jason Stewart never called me or email me again until 3/11/2023. When Jason Stewart called to say Manny Emanuel J. Friedman, Co-CEO of EJF Capital admitted to owning $NOVC but said he could not talk about it as it sat in CDO aka Kodiak CDO I. Does Jason Stewart believe another narrative? Jason Stewart said "JonesTrading (one of the oldest broker-dealers on wall street) Compliance Dept gave him the approval to buy $NOVC Novation Co a sub-penny stock dormant via FUD and SEC Rule 15(2)-11. My observation is buying a sub-penny stock cannot be normal for Broker Dealer like www.jonestrading.com I asked Jason Stewart why would Jonestrading.com Compliance Dept allow him to buy $NOVC. His response was silence.
Novation Companies, Inc. OTCBB $NOVC Board has triggered SEC Rule 15c(2)-11 which effectively places $NOVC into dormant status (no SEC filings or retail bid/ask) but still allows expert investors as defined by SEC to buy off non-retail information. https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/NOVATION-COMPANIES-INC-120787360/company/
David Dreman, Author of two books entitled “Contrarian Investment Strategies”, popped up owning 533K NOVC common, Goldman Sachs 360K, Blackrock 260K, GE Inv Company, Bank of America, Putnam Investments etc.
Jason Stewart stated he planned to buy $NOVC common off dark pools. Jason Stewart called me again Sat 3/25/2023 Jason Stewart said "he could not find any shares and would I sell 5M NOVC common". He said I must be very tired. He asked me my price and I said you're the expert ranked by www.tipranks.com you make an offer. He said I can place the shares with Wesley Edens, CEO of Fortress, Manny Emanuel Joshua Friedman EJF Capital, unless you do not want me to. I said I do not care. I said Fortress/EJF Capital identities ID are hidden behind CDOs that already own the only Sr Debt to exit Ch 11 and 31.3M 27% of all $NOVC common shares. Why do they need more $NOVC common? Again Silence from Jason Stewart. I believe $NOVC will split $NOVC into two tax-free companies; 1st Restart MREIT by relaunching $NOVC prior to MREIT Novastar Financial Inc. NYSE $NFI which holds the CCR Rights. Take the remaining operating unit www.healthcare-staffing.com HCS with $730M NOLs and merge with Hudson Global $HSON. This will support why Jeff Eberwein, Chuck Gillman, Whitney Tilson, and their cohorts filed Form 4s buying both $NOVC and $HSON. Jeff Eberwein, former Soros Investments and Viking Global was CEO/COB of $NOVC and is now CEO/COB of Hudson Global $HSON. Mr. Eberwein filed the Form 4s at $HSON and his Fund Lone Star Value Mgt filed Form 4s at $NOVC from April to Oct 2015, every day he bought est 30k $NOVC common for six months.
That is when Jason Stewart entered the game of cat and mouse which clearly ended with "I will steal your shares because you must be so tired". Jason Stewart's behavior to date leads me to the only conclusion -- he was never operating in good faith. I believe Mr. Market and loyal Novation Companies Inc. OTCBB $NOVC shareholders deserved to know the above. If you qualify for SEC Rule 15c(2)-11 you will find what may be a great investment in Novation Companies Inc. $NOVC. Please do your own due diligence but this should provide a great start.

Ghedli: form without content
Saleh mentions seven virtues that make the Eritrean revolution a success story. The odd thing about his criteria is that, left to stand on their own, they say nothing on whether they are desirable qualities or not. It is like someone asking you whether hot water is desirable or not. Absent the particular use the questioner has in mind, no one can provide a definite answer to such a question. If it is for drinking purposes, the answer might be no. If it is for washing purposes, the answer might be yes. All Saleh’s virtues have this indeterminate nature in them [in the following, all within quotation marks are Saleh’s]:
​

1. “[Ghedli] was purpose-driven”: A criminal too could be purpose-driven, but that doesn’t make the purpose right. What one needs to show first is whether the purpose is worthy of the sacrifice it demands. And to say that the purpose for the struggle for independence was “to liberate the land and the people from Ethiopian occupation” doesn’t say anything at all. The true criteria ought to be: Why did they want independence from Ethiopia? And if they did really know what they wanted, was it desirable? And if so, did they ever achieve it; and if not, will they ever achieve it?
2. “It had organic leadership”: That probably is the most absurd one. The Isaiases and Abdella Idrisis are indeed as organic as could be, but I would rather have an Italian company (let alone an Eritrean from Diaspora) run the nation than these two monsters. I would even go further than that: I would rather have Haile Selassie (dead or alive) rule Eritrea than our home-grown toxic criminals. All that I have to do is compare the Asmara of today with the Asmara of 60’s to see the stark difference that makes me prefer the latter.
3. “It was not a proxy war for any other power”: Again, if a war is proxy or not doesn’t say anything about its justness or viability. One can have a proxy war that happens to be just or a war that is not proxy and yet remains unjust. Behind Saleh’s rationale is that naïve search for a “genuine” Eritrean revolution, unadulterated with foreign influence – as only the romantics would insist. To the contrary, I wouldn’t have minded the war in Eritrea being a proxy one if that could have shortened the cycle of violence that lasted decades.
4. “It prevailed”: Again, “success” is no substitute for a just cause. Many a just cause in history has failed, and many dubious causes have triumphed. The history of the world is full of carcasses of people gone extinct through no fault of theirs (ex: Red Indians, Australian aborigines, etc.). The Taliban did prevail against the Soviets, but they took the nation back into the Stone Age. Success is mute when it comes to justification. And if “success” is to be given the wait Saleh wants it to have, neither Jebha nor its founder would fare well under this criterion.
5. “It had genuine popular participation”: Behind this criterion is that absolutist view that popular participation makes a cause right. A whole people can share a cause and that cause could be dead wrong. Nazism was a popular movement in Germany, but no one in his right mind would now say it was a just cause. Besides, there is a reason why popular participation should be confined to a democratic context: though the popular participation remains constant, the cause keeps changing. No such evolving cause is possible under the barrel of the gun.
6. “It was swimming against the tides of history”: Again, this says nothing at all about the justness or viability of the cause. A criminal movement could swim against the tides of history and triumph. That is to say there are many instances in history where a disaster could have easily been prevented if this or that had been done. So swimming against the tide of history is something that both just and unjust causes have accomplished at one time or another.
7. “It was fought using conventions of war”: It is also easy to imagine a war conducted flawlessly – that is, according to the conventions of war – but nevertheless an aimless one. One can imagine the US conducting a flawless war in Iraq so as to disarm Saddam Hussein of its weapons of mass destruction. If there were no such weapons to be found, that war would remain unjust even if it was fought according to conventions of war. That is to say, the way the war is fought, by itself, would tell us nothing about its justification.

The problem with Saleh’s criteria is they are secondary qualities; they are not qualities that could be made to stand on their own. That is why one can come up with a revolution that fulfills all these criteria and yet end up with one of the lousiest revolutions in history; all these criteria added up do not necessarily make a revolution just, worthy of its sacrifice or its results sustainable. And so it goes with every other criterion he mentions. It is not that some of the characterizations of the revolution are not undesirable, but that their desirability is parasitic on the nature of the cause itself. It is only if the cause is justified independent of these qualities that it would be considered the right thing to do for the revolution to seek out some of the qualities that he mentions. So lets assume that, for the sake of argument, the Eritrean cause was just and achievable, and see if the evidence supports his claims.
[There is an excellent article written by Yebio Woldemariam (“Unfettered Romanticizing of Ghedli”) that addresses the seven qualities of ghedli that Saleh mentions. Below, I will deal with four of them. And as best as I can I will try to avoid repetition, but at certain junctures overlap cannot be avoided.]
“It was not a proxy war for any other power”:
First, let’s assume – for argument’s sake – that to conduct a proxy war is an undesirable quality for a revolution to have, as Saleh wants us to believe. Given the absolutist belief that all proxy wars are intrinsically evil that he adheres to, I am sure that he believes that not only should Eritrea not fight others’ wars but also it shouldn’t let others fight for its war. But the Eritrean case fails on both counts.
Saleh wants us to believe that Arab help was minimal. Well, let me stick to one case only to cast doubt on this assertion: the case of decades of Sudan’s role in Eritrea’s revolution. Let me put it bluntly: without Sudan’s help, the Eritrean revolution would have never existed in the scope and duration it did; and, consequently, Eritrean independence would have never materialized without that critical help. This is especially true in the last two decades of the revolution (the 70’s and 80’s) where a movement that had tens of thousands of armed guerrillas wouldn’t have made it for a single month, let alone for years, without the logistical support of Sudan.
And Sudan’s action was not simply altruistic. Besides serving the cause of pan-Arabism, this was part of the tit-for-tat game that Sudan was playing with Ethiopia in its war with the South. What might have confused Saleh is the fact that the Eritrean fighters considered themselves to be so independent that they might have never thought that at times they were involved in proxy wars. But for a war to be identified as proxy, such identification doesn’t necessarily have to come from those who are fighting it. It is the facts themselves that determine the nature of the war that one is involved in.
How about letting others fight Eritrea’s war? Again, let me stick to one case to make my point: the case of TPLF. Let me also put it bluntly: without each others’ help, there is no way that either of them (TPLF or EPLF) could have achieved their respective goals. Let me mention three cases where the help of TPLF was critical to the very existence of Shaebia: (a) Without the help of TPLF, it wouldn’t have been able to push ELF all the way to Sudan. (b) In the early 80’s, the thinning out of Shaebia’s army in the trenches of Sahel had put its sustainability to serious doubt. This thinning out occurred for three reasons: First, the relentless assaults from Ethiopia’s army (from late 70s and early 80s) led to tens of thousands of casualties and thousands of defections (to Ethiopia, Jebha and Sudan). Second, the civil war with Jebha also took a huge toll. And third, after the retreat of the late 70s, the influx of new recruits turned into a trickle. With rapid depletion of its army and with no new recruits to fill the gap, Shaebia was in existential crisis. It was at this critical time that thousands of TPLF guerrillas came to help Shaebia defend its base, without which the survival of both EPLF and TPLF would have been put into serious doubt. (c) After the demolishment of Nadow, neither of these two movements would have made it to their respective capitals had they not closely collaborated with one another. This point can be made poignant if we realize that the margin of error that Shaebia was working with at this critical time was very slim. Given the above, we could easily say that these two fronts succeeded because they were willing to make proxy out of one another.
Given that the proxy-ness of Eritrean revolution is to be found at both ends of its pragmatic approach, it beats me where Saleh got this purist idea that intends to take the “proxy war” variable out of the revolution.
“It prevailed”:
Did the Taliban prevail in Afghanistan? Well yes, for just few years after the Soviets left in defeat. But their fundamentalist views, with the absolutist conviction that certain “truths” have to be relentlessly pursued irrespective of the context, led them to their demise. The Taliban are known for their fighting skill and bravery, but so are they for their immense stupidity. The idea that somehow they could prevail after 9/11 simply because they had the “truth” on their side could only originate from a worldview so isolated that it has become totally incapable of factoring in outside variables in its survival strategy. So has been the case of Eritrea, where the “truth” is supposed to prevail irrespective of outside forces closing in.
It seems to me it is too early for Eritrea to claim a victory in its independence, as Saleh is obviously doing. Eritrea’s days of peaceful independence lasted just seven years. Since then, the whole nation has been living behind the trenches. All that is different from the days of ghedli is that the trenches of Sahel have been moved further out to the borders. Aside from that, the nation is still fighting for its “territorial integrity”. Here is an example I provided at one time to elucidate on this precarious condition: A football player who catches the ball for a blip of a second before it slips through his hands to touch the ground cannot be said to have “prevailed”; no referee would give the team a point for its player “almost catching the ball”; one either catches or doesn’t catch a ball. Similarly, seven years in a nation’s history is a blip of a second. The judgment of whether Eritrea has prevailed requires a historical distance in timing which is not available to us now. It is too early to tell whether the ball is conclusively in Eritrea’s hands or is slipping, on its way to touch the ground. And I am not even talking of internal variables set to tear it apart, religious and ethnic strife being the most prominent ones. So I would advise Saleh not to be so sanguine on this point.
The Isaias regime, like its Taliban counterpart, is known not only for its immense brutality but also for its immense stupidity. Given that it has always been working with the slightest margin of error, the history of Shaebia is a history of bouncing back from the edges of disaster. Unfortunately, this has instilled a sense of invincibility in it – one that has been driving it from one misadventure to another. But those adventurous ones who make a habit of returning from the edges of disaster often perish in a single disaster.
“It had genuine popular participation”:
This probably is the most misstated part of the revolution that one can put in the form of paradox to point at its fallacy: ghedli was most popular with those who least paid for it, mainly the urban population (and now among Diaspora Eritreans), and remained least popular among those who paid the most, mainly the peasants. If so, it is precisely because ghedli had been primarily looked through the eyes of urban Eritrea that it seemed to have been a result of genuine popular participation. In fact, one can come up with a rough formula how this perception worked: the more distanced one is from the day-to-day reality of ghedli, the more glamour it had for him – as all kinds of romanticizing go. So far as the urbanites looked at ghedli from a safe distance, they were all for it. As urban Eritrea came under the rule of ghedli with independence, all the romance went out through the window. But for the peasants, who had been living with ghedli for years before independence, the romance was dead long before it showed up in urban Eritrea. And as for Diaspora Eritreans, who are the most distanced of all, the romance still remains as potent as ever.
But the best measurement of “popular participation” would be joining the Fronts. So let us look at the so-called voluntary nature of the struggle: those who were forced to join the struggle; those who changed their minds after joining the struggle; and those who decided to oppose the struggle.
Let me first raise the issue of forced conscription which, by definition, happens to be just the opposite of popular participation. As a matter of statistics, the 60’s input in popular participation is almost negligible. When both Fronts showed up in force in Kebessa in the early 70s, Jebha had a few thousands and Shaebia didn’t even muster one thousand. The first massive flow of recruits came soon after that, when students and other urbanites flocked to the Fronts in their thousands. And the heavy battles in densely populated areas, and the abuse of Ethiopian soldiers that followed them, were excellent recruiting means of peasants – a fact that was not lost on Shaebia, that skillfully exploited it by choosing the place of conflicts. This flow continued to the late 70s, until the retreat of 78, when it abruptly came to a screeching halt. People don’t realize that the popular participation that they often talk about lasted for only about 5 years! After the retreat, not only did the voluntary conscription from both the urban and rural areas come to a dead halt, many of those who had already joined were defecting in thousands. There were two main reasons for this: first, with the retreat, the revolution was losing its luster; and, second, more importantly, those who had met ghedli first hand were disillusioned by what they had seen.
But the Ethiopian wereras were going on relentlessly, incrementally taking their toll to an unsustainable level. As the number of combatants kept dwindling without any hope of replenishing them with voluntary recruits, the Fronts saw no other option but to resort to forced conscription. In fact Jebha, where the disillusionment factor came to materialize earlier to make it less appealing, had already started giffa by the mid-70s. Shaebia, which used to deride Jebha for resorting to giffa, followed soon. For about fifteen years, the peasants of Eritrea were subjected to this ruthless giffa in its most inhumane form. In Shaebia’s case, it was pure horror; it didn’t spare underage, women and old. It was these peasants that were used as fodder in the consecutive onslaughts of Sahel by the Ethiopian army that lasted for more than a decade. Each of these wereras involved tens of thousands of soldiers and hence exacted huge losses. If we are to look at the table of the martyred, I have no doubt that the overwhelming majority are peasants. This fact alone would put serious doubt to the voluntary (“popular participation”) nature of ghedli.
It is said that by the mid-80s, not even 10 precent of Shaebia’s army was voluntary [in comparison, the TPLF’s army was almost made up of voluntary army from the beginning to the end]. But even with the “voluntary” component, it might have not been that voluntary. There is that wrong perception that if you join ghedli voluntarily, your act will be counted as “popular participation”. As thousands of defections, desertions, imprisonments and killings attest, it didn’t take long for many of those who joined ghedli to change their minds. It is not for nothing that Shaebia was diligently guarding its combatants as it is doing today, if not more so. At one time, those who defected to Ethiopia were in thousands; and thousands more escaped to Sudan. Shaebia’s underground prisons were as full then as they are today. The shoot-at-sight policy at border crossings that is a cause of outrage now is only a pale imitation of the horrors of the past.
Then there are those who were so disappointed by the nature of the Fronts that they rose up in rebellion against them. For instance, the Falul uprising consisted of at least 5,000 teghadelti – almost a fifth of what used to constitute Jebha – of which about half were killed and the rest escaped to Sudan and Ethiopia. There were also others like Menkae, Yemin and individual dissenters that perished in similar fashion.
Add to all this, all of those who served quietly because they saw no way out of their predicament, many of whom thought it was the least evil of the choices available to them then, then you will see how the coercive part played a great role in ghedli. A good example would be to see how Jebha teghadelti acted when they were pushed into Sudan. Given their high disappointment with the state of ghedli, most of them preferred to disband rather than return to mieda.
“It was fought using conventions of war”:
If Saleh was referring to the Geneva Conventions of War on how ghedli treated its enemy combatants, there is an ambiguous record on that. If you take Jebha, for instance, during the retreat of the late 70s, in an uncalled for barbaric move it killed all its Ethiopian prisoners – hundreds of them. But the fact that it had by then only hundreds of them (Shaebia had thousands by that time), after many years of large scale battles and capturing of towns, attests to the fact that it was killing most of its captured prisoners all along. Regarding the handling of captured soldiers, Shaebia had a better record but not as rosy as it makes it seem.
But Saleh might be referring only to the way they treated the civilian population when he said this: “This is truly what distinguishes the Eritrean revolution from all the rest. You will be hard pressed to find a single case where the ELF or EPLF actually targeted civilians.” When I read this, I thought it was some kind of a joke. Was he, like Rip Van Winkle, sleeping throughout the ghedli era of three decades? How about the thousands of civilians that perished starting with Awate himself when he brutally assaulted the Kunamas to just after the independence when Shaebia massacred hundreds of Kohayin militias that had already surrendered, with a long trail of civilian blood in between? Not a single case! Can’t he even remember what has happened in Keren when many retired policemen (“Police Abbay”), respected citizens of the town, were taken on suspicion simply because they used to go to Asmara to collect their monthly retirement salary (as everyone else did) and summarily executed, never to be heard of again.
Shaebia’s principle had been, “When in doubt, kill.” They always preferred to err on the killing side; to them, it would be unforgivable to find out that someone who had slipped through their justice system turned out to be a spy. But it is forgivable to find out that someone that they had executed turned out to be innocent. According to their “conventions of war”, the revolution can afford the latter but not the former. In the eighties, when almost all the recruits were results of giffa, the atmosphere of suspicion was so high that the death squads of Shaebia were working overtime in killing peasants suspected of spying or planning to flee. That was especially the case if the peasants happened to be former militias. And many peasants that managed to escape and join their families were relentlessly pursued to their villages and killed.
And whenever the Fronts felt that certain population groups were resisting their incursions, bloodbaths followed (Kunama, Kohayin, Dembelas, etc). Pitched battles were conducted that over time took thousands of lives. When Jebha finally overwhelmed Kohayin, after two years of resistance, and pushed the militias across Mereb to Tigray, the first thing it did was to confiscate the cattle of the militias’ families and feed its army [“reconciliation” Jebha style]. If now we are wondering why Shaebia penalizes parents of deserters, you can easily find precedence in the past. And a few years later when Kohayin militias successfully rebuffed Shaebia’s incursions to their stronghold in the hills of Kohayin, the Front’s frustrated response was to burn their harvest (‘kumitto) in the unprotected bere’ka.
Even the response to refusal of collaboration, such as refusing to pay a fee, was met brutally with executions (mafia style) – as the numerous assassinations in the urban areas attest. For instance, when Shaebia returned to kebessa Hamassien in the eighties, the land was under total control of Derghi, and many of those who were forced to work in ‘kebelies refused to collaborate with the Front for fear of their lives (under the hands of Derghi) and as a result paid dearly with their lives (under the hands of ghedli). There were hundreds of such assassinations all over Eritrea. And then there were many others who were killed because they were suspected of having sympathies with Ethiopia, even though they were in no way involved in violent acts.
Saleh believes that compared with other fronts, the Eritrean movements were saints. Well, I will do him a favor and instead compare the crimes of ghedli against their own people with the crimes of the much dreaded enemy – Ethiopia! How many of those who were imprisoned by Ethiopia suspected for collaborating with ghedli or subversion ended up dead? Few of them! And how many of those imprisoned by ghedli suspected of collaborating with Ethiopia ended up dead? Almost all of them! And how many of those suspected of subversion in ghedli ended up dead? Thousands of them! Shaebia alone is supposed to have killed 5,000 of them, and that number doesn’t include those that it killed indirectly as in the case of Falul. And all of this is among its combatants. It doesn’t include the thousands that perished in clashes with militias and the random assassinations the guerrillas conducted. Often, when the atrocities of the Ethiopian army are remembered it is the massacres like Shiib, ‘Una, Mul’ki and Wekidiba that are mentioned. But, despite their monstrosity, if you add the numbers, they won’t even be a fraction of what ghedli killed.
Not a single case! Is this guy for real? I am beginning to believe he actually believes what he says. Talk about romanticizing ghedli! If such a bright fellow remains a prisoner to a fantasy of his own making, it doesn’t bode well for Eritrea.
Conclusion
As I mentioned above, Saleh’s analysis has been dead wrong not only on the seven “virtues” of ghedli, but also on its conceptual beginnings and end-goal. He rather settles for their technical counterparts. Since to talk about the end-goal of ghedli is to talk about its conceptual beginnings and whether they have been realized or not, the two cannot be separated from one another. In a posting on this issue, I will argue that the two conceptual beginnings of ghedli - one from the Moslem and the other from the Christian side – had nothing to do with nationalism and that they could only be carried out by adopting defensive identities alien to the people. The sensitive issue of the Muslim-Christian divide will have to explored extensively and honestly if we are to make any headway on this subject matter – and this is what I intend to do.
If I can put the aim of the posting that will deal with the conceptual beginnings of ghedli and its end-goal in one question, it would be: what is the nature of Moslem-Christian divide and is there a way of bridging it within proper Eritrea?

Email is a strong marketing strategy to directly reach your digital audience and keep them informed on product updates, service announcements, special offers, and more.
However, email marketing may prove ineffective if not successfully delivered to inboxes. One key factor that affects email deliverability is your sender reputation. Sender reputation goes by a few common names: Email sender reputation, sender score, domain reputation.
Yet, no matter what you call it, email sender reputation describes how Internet Service Providers (ISPs) like Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo judge your outgoing email. More specific inbox providers include Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, and Hotmail.
How do you determine a good email reputation? That’s where a sender score comes in. Your email reputation sits on a metaphorical scale of 0 to 100. The closer to 100 your sender score is, the better and stronger your email marketing sender reputation is.
This determination is driven by a handful of metrics, but the most important metric is how your digital audience reacts to your email. If your digital audience is interacting with your email, posting positive open and click-through rates, your reputation goes up.
However, common mistakes can hurt your email sender reputation. If you receive too many spam complaints, your reputation goes down. If you send unsolicited emails after buying an email list, your reputation goes down. If you fall into a spam trap or honeypot scam, your reputation goes down.
One of the most common email marketing mistakes is a flagged IP address. This hurts your sender reputation, and many companies don’t realize it happened until it’s too late. So, how does an IP address work with email?
Your email address connects to a specific IP address, which stands for Internet Protocol address. An IP address links all your digital activity to a single “numerical code,” similar to adding a return address to a letter.
You may have multiple email addresses connected to one IP address. You may pay for a private IP address to send only email marketing campaigns from. Either way, this IP address signals to ISPs how good or bad your email sender reputation might be based on the reputation of your IP address.
Now, you have to consider two digital reputations, because they go hand-in-hand.
All email addresses linked to a specific IP address build an IP’s reputation. Together, email addresses and domains belonging to a specific IP address affect an IP’s reputation by judging the quality of outgoing content, contact list, and organic engagement with recipients. (Some companies make the mistake of prioritizing quantity, sending as many emails as they can to as many contacts as they can find — or buy.)
Remember: Your IP reputation and email sender reputation go hand-in-hand. Together, they make or break your ability to reach your audience’s inboxes. For example, the reputation of your IP address can outweigh your sender reputation if a specific email address in your IP sends only unsolicited or unsuccessful email campaigns.
Because these unsuccessful email campaigns are being flagged as spam or unopened and sent to trash, your organic engagement with recipients is poor. This leads to a bad email sender reputation, which in turn affects your IP reputation and other email addresses linked to the IP. It also means your content won’t make it to your email list’s inboxes if you continue to use unrecommended email strategies.
Between sender reputation, sender scores, email deliverability, and IP reputation, it’s a lot to consider in a single marketing strategy. Here are a few basics on how to improve your email sender reputation:

1. Quantity of Spam Flags

To keep a strong sender reputation and high sender score, keep spam complaints low. Otherwise, each time your emails are marked as spam, your sender reputation is damaged.

2. Quality of Email Lists

ISPs are getting smarter about finding poor email senders to protect the privacy of their users. To find these poor senders, ISPs develop email addresses specifically for assessing email campaign senders. As a marketer, if you send an email to any of these email addresses, also known as spam traps or honeypot scams, you can be placed on a public blacklist for email marketing.
To avoid this, don’t buy an email list. ISPs often put these catch-all emails on for-purchase email lists to catch unsolicited senders. Don’t cold-send to email addresses. If you didn’t earn the contact honestly, don’t include them in an email list.
Your email contact list should be organic and full of valid addresses of engaged recipients. These lists are built from lead generation and conversion strategies and result in little to no soft or hard bounces.

• A soft bounce indicates a temporary email delivery issue. Most email marketing tools, like Mirabel’s Marketing Manager, will try to resend the email five times after a soft bounce.
• A hard bounce indicates a non-existent or invalid (deleted, mistyped, or misformatted) email address. Hard bounces hold stronger weight on your sender score.

A quality list of engaged recipients can also be determined by cleaning and segmenting your email list. If a recipient hasn’t engaged with your last few email campaigns, include them on a “don’t send” list. Don’t send to unverified emails, and segment accordingly to get the best deliverability and open rates.
One sure-fire way to tidy up an email list is to use an email verification tool like Mirabel Technologies’ Clean Your List, which filters out addresses that are invalid and unknown. This increases deliverability and ensures fewer soft and hard bounces.
An email marketing tip on re-engaging contacts is to send out a survey, asking which email campaigns they’re interested in. Do they only want marketing emails? Are they interested in company updates? As you do this, ask for a preferred frequency of when they’d like to receive emails. How’s a monthly newsletter or a weekly product update?

3. Opt-Out Forms

Speaking of valid, engaged email lists, avoid sending emails to unsubscribed contacts. If they opt out and continue to receive emails, they’ll keep trying to opt out and, if to no avail, mark you as spam. This drives your sender score down.
Also, you must include an unsubscribe form on every email. It’s illegal to not include an opt-out form, and if ISPs see an email without one, they’ll flag you, killing your sender reputation.

4. Strong Engagement

Email engagement is determined through open and click-through rates. When recipients open your email, click on links or CTAs, reply and/or forward, they’re engaged and interested. This shows Inbox Providers that you’re welcome. The more often they’re engaged, the higher the sender score.
Infrequent engagement with your email negatively affects your sender score and reputation. Some Inbox Providers even track emails that were ignored, deleted without being opened, or moved to another folder.

5. Sending Frequency

Some email campaigns are flagged as spam because marketers send too many emails, too often. If you send too many emails, you can overwhelm your digital audience. However, if you don’t reach out to your audience enough, you risk losing the interest of subscribers. To avoid both common email mistakes, develop a content schedule that appropriately delivers to your audience.

6. Content Quality

According to SendGrid, “Content includes the words, images, GIFs, templates, links, pre header text, subject lines, and from addresses you use in your emails. All … your email’s content either helps or hurts your reputation. To build a good reputation, you’ll need to send engaging emails that have a professional look and legitimate links.”
Quality content is key when trying to increase your sender score. Stick to your brand’s tone, and use an email template to ensure readability and clean design. Avoid spam words, and test all links before sending your campaign. Size images and GIFs correctly to avoid pixelation on desktop and mobile devices.

7. Authenticate Your Email Domain

Verifying your from address shows your audience that your content is coming from a respectable, legitimate source. Verifying your email domain limits phishing threats and authenticates SPF records, a DKIM signature, and DMARC reporting. Check your email domain with one of these email marketing tools:

• BarracudaCentral

According to their website, Barracuda Central maintains a history of IP addresses for known spammers and those with positive email reputations. “This information contributes to the Barracuda Reputation System, which gives the Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall the ability to block or allow a message based on the sender’s IP address.”
In addition to IP reputation, Barracuda Central maintains URL reputations, which allow the tool to quickly block an email based on a poor URL contained in the content. By combining the IP and URL reputation data, Barracuda Central determines whether or not an email is spam. Once identified, the tool implements countermeasures to mitigate these digital threats and reinforce its claimed 95 percent spam accuracy rate.

• Cisco Talos Intelligence

Talos Intelligence determines where your sender score lies on a qualitative range from “Poor” to “Neutral” to “Good”:

• A good sender score means jeopardizing behavior to your sender score occurs infrequently.
• A neutral score indicates room for email deliverability improvement, because they’re being filtered away from your recipients at a noticeable rate.
• A poor score means that your emails have substantial difficulty appropriately reaching those in your email contact.

Talos Intelligence even tracks global malware outbreaks and shows users legitimate emails versus spam rates per country, IP address, and more.

• SendForensics

After creating a free email deliverability test account, this robust email marketing tool creates a personalized email address to send test campaigns to. After sending a test campaign to this address, SendForensics estimates your sender score and analyzes your sender reputation.
This tool gives you “an instant snapshot of your domain and IP reputation to …troubleshoot [email] deliverability issues outside of the individual emails themselves.” It “contains engagement and reputation data from your ESP, receiving ISPs, global blacklisting data, and more.”

• Google’s Postmaster Tools

This free resource gives insight into how a widely common email domain assesses your emails addressed to their users. After claiming ownership of your domain, Google analyzes your sender reputation based on four qualitative categories: Bad, Low, Medium, and High.
In addition, Google’s Postmaster Tools investigate how many times your email has been reported for spam amongst several other features affecting email deliverability.

• Microsoft’s SNDS

Like Google’s Gmail, Microsoft Outlook is one of the largest Inbox Providers in the world. With its own set of Postmaster-like tools, Microsoft offers Smart Network Data Services (SNDS). This email deliverability tool allows anyone with an IP address to take up the fight against spam, viruses, and malware, protecting not only their email, but the Internet as a larger communication tool.
After confirming your IP address, SNDS gives you data about the traffic seen originating from your IPs. It can also give you email data, including activity period, traffic data, SMTP verb and message recipient counts, and sample commands.
In regards to email deliverability, SNDS shows users filter results. Spam verdicts resulting in Green mean less than 10 percent spam, Yellow is between 10 and 90 percent spam, and Red is over 90 percent spam. It also displays junk mail data, including complaint reports, trap hits, sample messages, virus-infected emails, malware hosting, and open proxy status.

Conclusion

With a dozen marketing strategies to improve your sender reputation and email deliverability, it’s time to up that sender score.

Every link I try to follow from my Hotmail email has stopped working, regardless of whether I click them in Thunderbird, I go to the Outlook site or try to use the mobile app. It's the same behaviour in several browsers, email clients and connections.
This is the error message Firefox gives me:

PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem. 

And here is Edge's:

And this is the Outlook app in my phone:

Does anyone know why this could be happening? Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi all,
So, After having my own website running, wordpress and all (I'm really proud of myself. first time linux user etc.).
Now I wanted to add ad nextcloud on the domain cloud.victoroos.nl. My website (in progress!) is victoroos.nl
​
I made a virtual host file for the cloud instance.


ServerAdmin [victor_roosjr@hotmail.com](mailto:victor_roosjr@hotmail.com)
DocumentRoot /mnt/www/vicscloud
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
​
ServerName cloud.victoroos.nl
ServerAlias cloud.victoroos.nl
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/victoroos.nl/fullchain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/victoroos.nl/privkey.pem
Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf


The folder is ready, made and everything. But it doesn't work. As in, it redirects me to the normal (unsucure even) website.
I guess it has something to do with dns? But how that would have to be setup I don't know.
Are there any tips? I read about reversed proxy etc, but I didn't grasp it enough to try (and I ruined my server already once :p)

cheers

I respect rule 9 and this is not a "method" it's just information on how a fraud score is determined.

Fraud Score

Picture every online transaction is assigned a fraud score number automatically through algorithms by computers in order to determine if an online purchase is of high risk for fraud. For arguments sake let's say this level is between 0 - 100 and is based on many factors.
So, if a transaction has a fraud score of say 50 this will trigger a manual review within the CC issuer which an agent (a real person) will review and decide to deny or allow the purchase. Some factors will include contacting the card holder, comparing spending data, location of purchase, amount, risk assessment, etc. whereas higher fraud scores will simply get the transactions automatically declined. Makes sense right? Don't need to pay an employee to review a CC purchase coming from Pakistan when the card holder lives in Maine and has never bought anything outside of USA in their whole purchasing history with that credit card company. A red flag wouldn't you agree? Algorithms detect all this shit going through each client's spending data, online shopping habits, purchase amounts, etc. Don't under estimate big data people. Having a transaction manually reviewed from an employee is slowly becoming a thing of the past.
If you carded a $40 USD item from some low-level company website compared to carding a $1000 USD item from Amazon these will have a different fraud score. Forget about carding Amazon as too many people already have accounts there already and by-passing Amazon Anti-Fraud measures requires access to the CC holder's email. The point to take away is if the cardholder rarely makes any online purchases and only uses their CC for filling their cars with petrol and you make an online purchase from Apple for an iMac it's not going to work. The CC holder spending habits and online behaviors are factors as well but people seem to forget what's happening in the background with these companies.
Some people talk about "testing" the CC before using it to ensure it's valid and working. I found using the CC checkers out there along with some of my own methods I wasn't sure if it affected success or contributed to failure. Issuing banks are well aware of the fraud tactics used today and aren't fully brain dead. They can detect a "testing" on a CC from their bank like if a small purchase of $1.50 is made from one place and then (5) minutes later a larger purchase is done somewhere else this is a classic sign of fraudsters "testing" to see if the stolen credit card just purchased is valid and works. I don't recommend this. Just assume the CC is valid that you've purchased if you know the source where you bought from is legitimate.
Connecting to a website from an IP that is associated with malicious behavior in the past will increase your fraud score on the website or from the financial institution and will contribute to getting your transaction declined and the card burned.
This makes sense yes? If you're connecting to a website you plan on carding on from your RDP but the IP of the RDP you're connecting from is associated to evilness then it's safe to say your efforts won't be successful. The companies s can see that you're connecting to their website from a VPN, Tor exit node, or other IP addresses which they deem suspicious and malicious. Other hackers have been up to no good too from the socks, RDP, or Tor exit node you use and some IP's are flagged as malicious by numerous cyber security companies (Big names) that share this data to protect their customers against fuck faces like us. Understand that when you connect to a website you're revealing a lot about your browser, location, extensions, configurations, etc. that will be used against you in anti-fraud mechanisms.
Some items that contribute to a higher fraud score when making an online purchase are:

• Is the customer using services identified as a VPN or blacklisted IPs.
• Are the shipping and billing countries different?
• Is the order being shipped to Pakistan or Nigeria type countries far from card holder location.
• Is the BIN from a different country than the IP address used to order?
• Is the shipping address an identified mail forwarding company?
• Is the IP address from proxy or socks?
• Is the e-mail address from a free provider like Yahoo, Yandex, or Hotmail.

Remember, it's important to understand certain transactions get flagged for certain things. To hammer this point home, let's review it again.
Medium Alerts:

• Is the user ordering from a free e-mail address?
• Does the customer phone number match the user's billing location?
• Does the BIN number from the card match the country the user states they are in?
• Does the user's inputted name for the bank match the database for that BIN?
• Does the customer service phone number given by the user match the database for that BIN?

Red Alerts:

• Does the country that the user is ordering from match where they state they are ordering from?
• Is the user ordering from one of the designated high risk countries?
• What is the likelihood that the user is utilizing an anonymous proxy?
• Is the user ordering from an e-mail address that has been used for fraudulent orders?
• Is the user utilizing a username or password used previously for fraud?
• Is the user specifying a known drop shipping address

You want to be a normal customer and appear like the actual card holder when making an online purchase which can reduce your fraud score once you have an understanding of what will trigger it, and this is not a carding method, it's just a tip to avoid getting declined when using your own card while you're on vacation ;)

Hi everyone! I've followed selfhosted for a while, and have learned a lot. This is by far my favorite subreddit. A good portion of the software which I used day to day I originally learned about on here.
My question is regarding self-hosted email. I've been making a large effort to scale back my reliance on Google and am now looking to replace Gmail. I have deployed a Postfix server on top of an OVH VPS. My emails get through, but they always end up in spam.
I've read a lot of articles on the subject. I have a working DKIM, DMARC, SPF and reverse DNS record. My IP is also not on any blacklists, and on the mail testing sites I've used, I always get a 10/10.
I honestly can't remember if I get sent to spam at Hotmail and Yahoo, but considering that the vast majority of people I email have Gmail accounts, getting sent to spam on there is definitely a non-starter.
I've been looking into SMTP proxies as a last resort, and am almost at the point of giving up and using one, but in the spirit of self-hosting I thought I'd give the attempt one last hurrah before shelving it.
My question is regarding domain reputation. I've checked on Google Postmaster and found that there is no information for my domain. Similarly, I've checked on Talosintelligence.com and found that they also have no information on it. It looks like I don't send enough email for my domain to get picked up at either of those two.
I'm curious if the issue could be remedied by increasing my sending volume. I'm not planning on sending bulk email, I just want a way to store and send my own personal correspondence. Would if be effective to schedule one or more emails to send per day, then interact with them on my Gmail accounts? If I were to do so, would I need to conscript some of my friends as well? I've seen other posters running the gamut of experiences. Many, like myself, are condemned to die a slow death in the confines of the spam folder. I've also seen many people who have reported running their own email for over a decade with no problems to report.
If I do end up going the SMTP proxy route, would I be able to switch back to self-hosted after a year or so without any ill effects, or will I run into the same issues again?
Sorry for the long post but I've spent a great deal of time on this issue and am appalled that with everything that can possibly be self-hosted, a service from the 1970s is apparently not one of them. Thanks for sitting through my TED talk.
EDIT: I just wanted to come back and let any future readers of this post know that it seems that all it took for my emails to start hitting the inbox was in fact a warm up. My personal domain now hits the inbox for apparently everybody who uses Gmail. The same goes for Yahoo, but I have yet to test Hotmail. I got four or five of my friends to mark my messages as not spam and that did the trick!

Hi so i have encountered what i believe to be a weird one. We have a small cohort of end users who by all accounts are in standard OUs, memberships, groups, firewall/proxy perms as everyone else. However when they receive an email from an external source (an end client hotmail or gmail for example) with attached PDF's mostly it throws document damaged errors. If they then forward this to a colleague internally and have it sent back it opens without error so nothing is being stripped out.

What do we reckon? mail filter, proxy, windows being bork?

Hello I am new to Mailcow and need some help. I am using a static IP for my internet service and no ports are blocked.
Setup:
I have added all the DNS records as suggested in the mailcow document https://mailcow.github.io/mailcow-dockerized-docs/prerequisite-dns/ A record, SRV records and CNAME
In my router I have port forward set so that port 80 and port 443 are pointed to Reverse Proxy VM (192.168.1.4) all the other required ports are directed to mailcow VM (192.168.1.5)
I use Nginx Proxy Manager for reverse proxy for my setup which is located in a VM at IP 192.168.1.4 I have added 3 records to NPM (Nginx Proxy Manager) so
mail.example.com -> https://192.168.1.5:443
autoconfig.example.com -> https://192.168.1.5:433
autodiscover.example.com -> https://192.168.1.5:433
Reverse proxy also fetches all the lets encrypt certificates.
My Mailcow setup is on another VM at IP 192.168.1.5
What is working:
Everything is working using SOGo i can send emails and receive them no problem. Emails are landing in mailboxes for all providers i have tested with so far (hotmail, gmail, aol, rediff, yahoo etc.)
Problems:
I cannot use a email client to work with this setup. I tried using Thunderbird and its cannot communicate to the server. it says username or the password is not valid.
How do i fix this problem.
KInd Regards

In January of 2010, I sent an e-mail to MicroVision CEO Alex Tokman and shared with him the following blog post that I had written about MicroVision (MVIS). As a retail investor, I asked Alex a simple question:
“What is Your Business Growth Strategy?”
http://mirro7.blogspot.com/2010/01/microvision-whats-your-business-growth.html
This opened a channel of communications with AT and I was recognized as a serious investor of MicroVision… and a strong supporter of LBS as the future growth technology that could spawn hundreds of billion dollar consumer and industrial applications.
However, I never got a straight answer from Alex…
In my frustration as the serious MicroVision Investor, I wrote…
"Perhaps, just perhaps, there are many other options. Models are made to be broken. The choices may be beyond anything that has been done before. That choice, if indeed one is open to it, certainly does not appear to be with-in the reach of current management. I believe the technology at MicroVision will succeed. Management may just be along for the ride."
"If this sounds harsh… it is not meant to be. How many companies have management? How many have leadership? My hope is management can simply steer the ship. Anything beyond that will be a bonus."
Over the next few months in 2010, I was able to piece together MicroVision Business Development Strategy, or the lack of it, and wrote another blog post in October 2010. Once again, I shared this blog post with Alex [and his Board of Directors], and asked the question:
“What is Your Business Growth Strategy?”
Here's the blog post from October 2010...
http://mirro7.blogspot.com/2010/10/microvision-what-business-growth.html
Excerpt from the article…
MicroVision: What Business Growth Strategy?
Every business has to plan for growth and executives should make sure their growth plans are consistent with their dynamic business plan. A dynamic business plan is an updated version that is kept current to reflect the ever-changing business-operating environment. Especially in the technology and DOT.com businesses, where the product cycles are so short and consumer preferences are mostly dependent on the next hot product or service.
When it comes to growth plans, the two ends of the spectrum are, for example, should a company grow quickly and unprofitably, like Amazon and Hotmail─ before it got acquired by Microsoft for $480 million, or slowly with a careful eye on the bottom line, like Ben & Jerry's ice cream parlors? It all depends on how much venture capital you have access to and what the competition is doing!
The worst thing you can do is fail to decide whether you're going to be a Ben & Jerry's company, or a Hotmail company, or an Amazon company.
There are three possible scenarios when focusing on the challenges of growing a business and picking the right growth model that is consistent with your business plan and positions you for whatever your ultimate goal is…
Number one: you want to be the gorilla of your industry in a hurry like Amazon.Number two: you want to ramp-up your business fast and position for an acquisition like Hotmail.Number three: you want to be a brick and mortar company producing steady profits like Ben & Jerry’s.
Regardless of what your business model is, the CEO and the CFO of the company need to formalize their business growth strategy and evangelize to the man in-charge of running the day-to-day operation of the business. Building a company is no small task? You've got one very important decision to make, because it affects everything else you do. No matter what else you do, you absolutely must figure out which camp you're in, and gear everything you do accordingly, or you're going to have a disaster on your hands.
THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS:
Whether to grow slowly, organically, and profitably, or whether to have a big bang with very fast growth with lots of capital spent in a hurry, that is the question?
The first model, popularly called "Get Big Fast" (a.k.a. "Land Grab"), requires you to raise a lot of capital, and work as quickly as possible to get big fast without concern for profitability. I'm going to call this the “Amazon”, because Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, has practically become the celebrity spokes-model for Get Big Fast.
The second model is called "Hotmail for Sale or Fail". As for the name of our model “Hotmail for Sale or Fail”, I just made it up to make the point. This model requires you to raise only a small amount of capital, position for acquisition, and work as quickly as possible to build momentum to show there is promise of getting big fast… without concern for profitability. I'm going to call this “Hotmail” model, because Hotmail fits this model very well.
The third model, organic growth model, is to start small, with limited goals, and slowly build a business over a long period of time. I'm going to call this “Ben & Jerry’s” model, because Ben & Jerry’s fit this model pretty well.
Now the question is: “where on earth does the MicroVision business model fit-in?"
The short answer is...
"Nowhere"
MicroVision’s current business growth strategy (in 2010) was either non-existent or was severely flawed after the green laser debacle of late… that still continued to haunt MicroVision even after 4 years (in 2014).
Here’s one clue to the non-existent, or flawed, business growth strategy up until recently (in 2014)…
In early 2007, Alex Tokman, CEO of MicroVision, was quite aware of the following facts…
\ Embedded pico projector was to be the holy grail for MicroVision.* Without diode RGB lasers; the power, size, and cost of the laser light source based on SHG green lasers would be prohibitive for embedded applications.* In 2007, diode green lasers were 4 to 5 years away… as like in 2011/2012 time frame.*
If you were to assume correctly, and AT was aware of these facts as early as in 2007, then why in hell his management team carried-on with an army of personnel in SG&A [and R&D] to continually spend over $12 million dollars every Qtr for the last four years [from 2007 to 2012].
If AT had used this readily available information and some gumption to control costs to say $6 million per Qtr… today there would be lot less pressure to raise money to continue with operations─ while still waiting for diode/SHG green lasers, because MicroVision would have saved over $96 million dollars in costs without sacrificing much.
MicroVision management should have either changed their business growth strategy to “hunker down” and coast on a low cost/low profile basis until the green laser technology was mature enough with more plausible cost and performance metrics… or let someone else run the company, instead of pushing the company hard on the downward spiral of financial gloom and doom while waiting for diode/SHG green lasers.
MicroVision’s current business growth strategy [in late 2010] assures that they will continue to lose money-- as they are now… and continue to do so all of the next year and five years from now. The cost and availability of green lasers today [in 2010], or a year or two from now, plays a role but its financial impact on the bottom-line profitability is very small when you consider the vicious [large volume/lower cost/lower absolute dollar margin] cycle associated with commodity products such as PDEs and IPMs that are sold to consumer product OEMs.
As long as MicroVision corporate management is fixated on just selling their laser light based PDEs and IPMs in an OEM market that has all the makings of a commodity market… they will be at the mercy of the OEMs; for consumer product introduction time-lines, consumer product pricing, product marketing, and commodity component pricing with no pricing power.
Just look around and tell me if you see any embedded mobile phone camera makers or the touch screen makers [for things like iPad or iPhone] making any money worth crowing about. On the other hand, consumer product OEMs like Apple, with vision and gumption, come to market with one consumer product at a time─ on their terms, and rake-in billions in revenue and profits.
The current MicroVision business model [as of 2010] calls for hundreds of millions in sales of PDEs and IPMs to make a few million dollars in net profit in a commodity type pricing environment … and that too, if and when the OEM customers let that happen.
MicroVision still has time [in 2010] to re-configure its business growth model and seriously consider launching its own branded consumer products ─ possibly in partnership with large OEMs; and be the shaker, baker, and maker of its own destiny.
Just take the current situation [in 2010] of MicroVision patiently waiting on its hands and feet─ and spending $12 million dollars per Qtr; while the OEM for the High End Media Player (HEMP) procrastinates on product configuration, product introduction time-lines, and product marketing and pricing issues.
In the best case scenario, the current MicroVision business model can, in a year or two, only produce modest earnings growth of perhaps 12% per years for many years to come… and may never come even close to the hyper growth in revenue and earnings that we once believed was possible.
End of excerpt from the 2010 article.
Now fast forward to 2020…
After ten years [in the middle of 2020] and over seven hundred million dollars in sunken cost later, I would ask the current CEO Sumit Sharma: “What is Your Business Exit Strategy?”
Or should I change my question and ask: “What is Your Exit Strategy with a Staff of 30 Managing the Viewing at MicroVision?”
Here’s my opinion…
Anyone on this board will tell you, I am no fan of this Management team and this Board of Directors. I believe many of them are out of their depth. Historically, the various Corporate Executives at MicroVision have been, shall we say, less than comfortable in their positions and less than qualified to make the decisions they have made over the 14 years. Historically, no one can really argue with that; given the fact, as a team, they have spent well in excess of 700 million dollars of shareholder value and created a company which, just a few months ago, had a market cap of around $30 million [trading at around $0.20].
I have also stated that the deal CEO Sharma and the Board might make with a potential partner is not necessarily the deal THEY will end up with. Having said that, I do realize even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Again, depending on what additional information is given by CEO Sharma and the Board, I am willing to vote YES on the additional 60 million share requested.
I also believe that MicroVision Technology, in the hands of the right partner company, is certainly worth Multiples of a Billion Dollars. We shall see if CEO Sharma and CFO Holt can live up to their titles. So far they are making all the right noises; and comparing them with the C Suite Executives at some of the mega corporations is not fair… because, both can be successful on their own scale and modus operandi.
The recent notice from the class action lawyers trying to drum up a lawsuit against MicroVision… is a sure sign that there are some VERY nervous short sellers out there.
Why should you also vote YES on the additional 60 million share request?
Sumit Sharma has been the new CEO for only four months; and the multi-year mess [from 2007 to early 2020] he inherited was enormous and sticky. He is doing, and has done a lot, more for the investor community than any of us will ever know. He is the right person for this job, other CEOs wouldn't have had the gall to cut the cord and set the company free to realize its full potential by going the M&A route. He has options and he is exploring all of them and not taking the easy and quick route. The end game is, in my opinion, the long investors will be handsomely rewarded and can happen when nobody expects it.
To give credit where credit is due…
· Sumit Sharma made a pact with retail longs to not precipitously do a reverse split… and he has kept that promise by clearly announcing that there will be no S.
· SS never promised he wouldn't come back for more shares later. He quite clearly said he understood he COULD come back in August or September. Now it's August. See the Fireside Chat thread.
· SS brought Dr. Mark B. Spitzer to MicroVision BoD. If you don't actually grasp the importance of that… read-up on Dr. Spitzer’s CV and his patent portfolio in AR technology space.
· When SS took over as CEO, the company was under not one but TWO deficiency notices from NASDAQ that could result in losing their exchange listing. Today, there is none.
· SS had the guts to tell us about this 60 million new shares proxy before the CC and then stood up and defended it on the conference call. If you knew anything about the previous practice of this company, a Press Release would have been dropped on Friday, two days after the CC, so the management could avoid talking about it in person for as long as possible.
Sumit Sharma has done some impressive work in a short period of time; bringing others on Board with expertise and clout, trimming production liability, cutting operating expenses to 1/3rd, acquiring government PPP loan for keeping the employees so their LiDAR kits could be completed, ensuring company has the cash for opex until end of year 2020 (possibly beyond if they can clear the liability from the PPP loan), reverse split approval without using it, and a clear vision to sell [or merge] the company or sell one or more of its 4 core technology verticals to the highest bidder.
You know how long and arduous M&A can be, and achieving it in less than 6 months would have been absolutely incredible... especially, considering the 12 year of mess that he inherited some 4 months ago. It is easy to speak strongly on such a topic, but harder to actually do it.
Maybe, we all should reach out and try assisting SS and his team, and at the very least give the corporate management the tools they need to execute the best “exit strategy” that, for once, has the retail investor in mind.
