1001  Other / Beginners & Help / Samourai wallet question on: October 29, 2023, 03:09:12 PM
I like Samourai wallet, it is one of the best bitcoin mobile wallets that I have used. It has the necessary things that a bitcoin wallet can have like RBF, coin control, CPFP and able to spend unconfirmed coins. It also has coinjoin called whirlpool. I like the wallet. I want to create another wallet on Samourai which I want to name wallet_2 but I have been unable to do that.

How can I create another wallet with another seed phrase on Samourai wallet?

1003  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would happen if there was only one cryptocurrency, which is Bitcoin? on: October 29, 2023, 02:52:25 PM
In my opinion, the development of the cryptocurrency world would slow down if there were no altcoins. Why is that? because altcoins also help promote the concept of blockchain and cryptocurrency, whether they admit it or not, altcoins have contributed to the popularity of bitcoin
What that led to more scam. If there is only bitcoin, scam would have reduced because their will be nothing like DeFi and DAO scam, there would be nothing like bump and dump schemes which are the modernized ponzi schemes of today that government are not able to do anything about it. There will not be anything like fake project and failed project of new coins. If there is only bitcoin existing, scam would have reduced but altcoins bring scam. If you think that I am not correct, go and read more about crypto scam and see how altcoins are responsible for more than 75% of crypto scam annually.

Another question is that I found out that Tungsten has the highest melting point of all metal on the periodic table, which is 3422 °C. Is this not the metal that supposed to be used for seed phrase backup? Or is it very expensive and not affordable?
o_e_l_e_o gave the same answer. I researched about it and I found it to be true. It can shatter upon impact and not recommended despite the high melting point.

What is your problem, let's say,  with stainless steel washers? They are relatively cheep and easy to work with.
My problem is that I want to know more about it as only stainless steel has been what people are saying on this forum but I noticed recently that titanium has a higher melting point than stainless steel and can be better, but according to what I have seen from what people are posting, stainless steel is still highly recommended, while titanium is also good.
1005  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you use your free bets to ensure result on: October 28, 2023, 03:57:21 PM
I am not a fan of getting bonuses from casinos because I believe it has restrictions to what you can do it and if you are lucky enough to make big winnings with it then you might be restricted from cashing out the funds because of the limit that is attached to bonus winnings. I have seen people that uses bonus to winner extremely large funds and they were not allowed to cash out the funds because of restrictions. It is better for us to use our deposited funds to play bets and if we are lucky enough, we can make big winnings which is going to count and withdrawable without no restrictions.
What I can say is that you can be reading the rules applied. Gambling sites have different rules about the first time free bet. The ones that I was able to win after reading the rules applied, I was able to withdraw my money. This has happened to me two or three times before. There are some that once I read the rules, I will not bother myself of using the free bet to gamble if the rules will only make the free bets to yield little or no return.

first lesson of economics. if you need $160 but can get hold of $160 in 2 weeks. just wait 2 weeks and pay what you need with your own funds
I can not totally agree with this. There are some people that do not have savings and need emergency fund. The last time I borrowed money, not on this forum, I paid back the following day. It was not up to 24 hours. I did not bother a friend about it because I knew I will be able to pay back the loan easily with the profit. There are sometimes that someone will not have an option.

Although I am not saying OP that wants to borrow money is not looking for ways to scam.
1007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you use your free bets to ensure result on: October 28, 2023, 03:30:01 PM
Trying to play it safe, but not 100%, you can still place bets that have a VERY high chance of happening, bets of 1.01 or 1.02 odds, in a soccer match for example when one team is winning 2x0 and the game is almost over
I have tried this many times before, but when the loss will come, it would be huge. I can never go for bets of 1.01 and 1.02 odds ever in my life. The chance of winning is high but it is stupidity. When the person lose money would be when he will know that. I prefer to go for high odd like 1.5 or more but not far from 2 odds if it sport. I will prefer casino than bookies is another thing.

hi need a short term loan of 0.005 btc.
will payit back , when i get paid from the campaign in 2 weeks.
help will be much appreciated
What is the username of your alt?

You will need to sign a message with the bitcoin address of your alt. I am talking about the bitcoin address that you staked or that you have used in a campaign.

Is this a altaccount of someone who will get paid for a campaign in two weeks?
Probably he is trolling is my guess.
1009  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Anyone use a COLDCARD hardware wallet? on: October 27, 2023, 07:03:21 AM
Yes. It is source verifiable. It is not open source.
I was thinking Coldcard is open source but it is not. I check this site that says their source code is reproducible: https://walletscrutiny.com/hardware/coldcardMk4/

Is reproducible does not mean it is open source or the site is not correct about it.
1010  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: He Used Our Wedding Savings to Play Bet on: October 26, 2023, 09:43:21 AM
Her life will be in total misery if he marries this guy, this guy is a compulsive gambler, he doesn't care about his bride's feelings, and it's better for the lady to cool off the wedding and only talk about the wedding if he is totally cured.
Maybe or maybe not. What he did is stupidity. Some people can think they can still give such a person second chance. But if it is me that I am the girl, I will not only call off the wedding but also call of the relationship. If the girl did not also call off the relationship, maybe she is stupid. But maybe not, becuase some people can think of second chance, I noticye my friends that were addicted left gambling after they had huge losses that severely affected them just like this, sometimes, there can be second chance.
1011  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bull season started? on: October 26, 2023, 08:12:50 AM
Why are u expecting a drop next year?
What I meant is that a price drop may begin early next year, but spot bitcoin ETF will not let that happen if it is approved early next year. But if not early approved and there is a small drop, bitcoin halving will come and that would lead to a significant bull run. The fall I am talking about is before halving but which bitcoin spot ETF may not let happy.
1012  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bull season started? on: October 26, 2023, 07:44:49 AM
According to what I read, bitcoin ETF may not be approved until next year January, I am not seeing any bull run again for now but neither expecting a significant drop. If there would be a significant drop in bitcoin price, I am expecting it next year, but spot bitcoin ETF may not let that happen.

Some analysts on this forum are expecting $40000, but no one know if that would be possible.

If the question is about buying bitcoin, yes buying bitcoin is still not late.
1013  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dangerous chasing losses on: October 26, 2023, 07:38:36 AM
Chasing loss in gambling is not really good because at the end you might loss everything you have. And that is the mindset of many gamblers. They think the their next game will give them what they have loss from the previous game and they loss out again and bet or play again until everything in the pocket or in the wallet is exhausted before their eyes always open to see and the brain open to understand that they wouldn't used all their money for the gambling or they wouldn't chase the loss. chasing loss is not always a favorable thing to do.
I can remember very well that when I started gambling, I do not have control over my somehow addiction gambling. I noticed that if I lost small amount of money and I continue to gamble, I will lose all. Not that I will continue to lose. I will continue to win and lose randomly but after several games played and gambled, the loss will surpass the profit and before I know, all my money would have been exhausted. Chasing loss is a bad idea and very related to gambling addiction and it can happen to beginners gamblers.
1014  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dangerous chasing losses on: October 25, 2023, 05:41:10 PM
The series of losses must have triggered your adrenaline rush and it's what you wanted to gamble for fun. Luckily you won them back and profited in the end, not bad for a nongambler.  Congrats!  
But if someone do not have losses to learn, the person may still feel like to gamble with more money like this again, thinking the opportunity to make money will come again, but next time may not be like this. It is worth celebrating that he finally make profit from gambling, but he has to be careful not to gamble with more than the money that he can not afford to lose.
1015  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is the cash-out feature only available in sports bets? on: October 25, 2023, 04:10:16 PM
Each game has it's own system and different way how to play, it's not something can be used to compare. Having cash out feature in every games would be wasting time because we need to wait for a moment in order to confirm we're sure to make a bet.
This is not even possible in casinos at all, games are placed and in some seconds the result are known and cashout can not be possible with such games unlike in sport. In casinos, games can not be placed in a way that it will remain hours before the game will start, the game start in less than 10 seconds and ended fast. I am surprised that OP is thinking that cash out would be possible in casino games, probably he has not visited casinos very well to see how their games are.
1016  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Just like visiting a cinema on: October 25, 2023, 11:26:10 AM
I gamble just for fun, like I watch movies in the cinema. I do both of these things in my free time, but I don't do them too often because I am more concerned with the money being able to meet my family's daily needs. Only if there is money that is really not used for important things or anything else will I use it for gambling because I don't want to disturb the financial position that I have established every month. Actually, we have many more interesting things to do and not only gambling but often we are too lazy to start, so we prefer to use gambling as a fun activity. In fact, by gambling, we use money that may be more than we budgeted for.
I also gamble just for fun, but with the kind of money that I should use for other things that supposed to be fun. Instead of my friends and I should go and have fun at other places during the weekend, we can decide to go to casinos and have almost the same fun but with gambling which is the main reason. What that is very important is my family life and savings, I can not take any money that I supposed to save or spent on my family to gamble.
1017  Other / Meta / Re: is there any other way to know a user's merit history? on: October 25, 2023, 10:11:35 AM
He has only 1000 merits and he is a legendary member before the merit system began in 2018. That means his merit was airdropped to his account. Legendary members were given 1000 merits with 500 smerits at that time.

It would be good if you can lock this thread now.
1018  Other / Meta / Re: Why my posts were deleted from a Reputation board thread? on: October 25, 2023, 06:44:42 AM
As the title says, I want to know why forum moderators deleted my posts.

Edit: Well, the posts were merged without any moderator's note. I didn't notice that at first. Didn't they notice that the author removed several posts?
This means you have found an answer to your question, why not lock this topic? The best thing that you can do now is to lock this topic for people not to be posting the same thing that has been posted by other members.

On this forum, it is not advisable to be posting continuously and quoting the same person without seeing any other people's posting, you can do that on a single post.
1019  Other / Meta / Re: Is there any way to delete or remove poll? on: October 24, 2023, 10:43:39 AM
As far as I know, members cannot delete threads themselves. Maybe you mean what was deleted was the content of the thread?
You are right, no one can delete his own topic unless the topic is edited. In a self-moderated thread, only other people's posts can be deleted by the OP but the OP can not delete his own topic unless he edited it. I have corrected it. Both poll and topic can not be deleted but edited. Admin and moderators can do that.
1020  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling Generally An Illicit Activity? on: October 24, 2023, 09:37:54 AM
Anything can be used to launder money, gambling is no more utilised for it than anything else. Drug operations often run large amounts of cash through bogus businesses like flower shops and cake stores, taxi ranks etc.

Gambling is probably more of a risk than anything else to be used as a laundering vehicle. Imagine betting a large amount on something supposedly very likely to happen to clean money with winnings and then it loses.
That is just it. Nearly all money involved in laundering are either in banks or in physical form hidden somewhere. If you do not know the launderers, you will not be able to trace the money to money laundering. There are many legit businesses that are owned by well known people but are used to also launder money. If these people are not found guilty, they will never known that they have any money laundered.
