the raceface single bolt XC post keeps coming loose on my tirade, what is a strong one? I am gonna cut it down quite a bit so weight isnt that much of an issue, although i dont want it to be ridiculously heavy. is the raceface atlas good? i definatly need a double bolt

I can't imagine the raceface stuff is that much cheaper. I messed around with other seatposts and after going through 5-6 I ponied up and bought a thomson. It'll probably outlast me. I have seen thomsons on sale online for as cheap as 60 before.
As far as using a BMX seatpost, I have no clue. Different mtb manufacturers use different size tubing, what fits one bike won't necessarily fit another one. I'd say its def worth finding out.
One thing about the Thomson that, IMO, makes it better than posts like the Sette is the clamp on the Thomson is wider, better supporting the seat rails, helping to prevent bending. The clamps on most economy post tend to be rather narrow, making it easier for the rails to bend.
if they have the size you need, then yes, you can do that, too.
