No one is seeing beyond the family. How about business, co-operations, institutes, organizations and religious sectors they too can benefit from this multi-sig wallets for their transactions that are always open between clients. It can serve as an open court for both parties in off-chain transactions

SSL vs. TLS and difference with very detailed explanation on differences between two certificates.

A certificate is not an only sector that will make a website is good or bad. On tip of iceberg, looking at SSL and TLS sites, SSL site brings a safer feeling and better security. Under the iceberg, more things will make a site is good or bad or vulnerable to attacks. The certificate is not all.
I didn't go into much details to describe the types of certificates this authorities provide because a thread has already been created on that and will make this long and boring. I centered more the Hash function used for details about certification types the link you provided serves the purpose

One of the best teams in the English Premier League is Manchester United. I think since Cristiano Ronaldo rejoined Manchester United, their team has become stronger. We all already know that Manchester United is a very strong and balanced team Since Ronaldo recently joined the club, Manchester United are in my opinion one of the best favorites in the Premier League.
One of the best Manchester United teams (A few seasons ago) Cheesy
Now they are in a not so good form after the Fergie era they are often even below the ideal position for the best team in the Premier League.
They need to change this as soon as possible so that their best player title doesn't sound like a joke because if I look at them they are more of a clown than a football club for this season.
It is already sounding like a joke from all indications. Christiano Ronaldo did his best last season but had little or no quality team play from his team mates. The overall performance for united last season was poor and underrated, except Ten Hag proves he is fit for the job else united been the best club in the premier league ended  with Sir Fergie

Dortmund lost again from Villarreal today with score 2-0 and seems they had a problem with La Liga teams that this is their second lose after against Valencia and their manager Edin Terzi make an experiment with 5-4-1 formation and placed Reus on a target man but although they used 5 defenders but that formation can't work as expected and apparently they have to improve their defensive line because conceded 5 goals in two matches is not impressive performance and besides that i think Dortmund also really need new striker
Dortmund obviously needs new strikers. the departure of Haaland is telling so strongly on the club. I was expecting a strong defense with the formation dortmund played with (5-4-1) against (4-4-2) but yet their defense was penetrable to the point of conceding two goals to Villarreal. This is not just about having problem with playing against Laliga clubs i think they need to sign new players because i am not getting the vibes of their new signings

    These days digital signatures which uses mathematical approach are widely used to verify and authenticate the validity and integrity of many digital properties like: websites, Documents, softwares, communications and currencies using key pairs, they use digital signatures with hidden messages usually in a hexadecimal format connected securely to the keys of the signer and can only be decrypted by it's corresponding key in a recorded transaction. This documents can be signed(encrypted) by either private or public keys and decrypted by the corresponding public or private key depending on which was used.

    While digital certificates are files or electronic passwords that embraces cryptographic hashes and public key infrastructure to authenticate the validity of a device, server or user (PKI). Public key infrastructure (PKI) governs the issuance of digital certificates to protect sensitive data, provide unique digital identities for users, devices and applications and secure end-to-end communications and are widely acknowledged protocol for digital signatures.

Certification Authorities
SHA-256 are secure Hash Algorithm used as the preferred hash function to secure most digital documents and after the ban of SHA-1 since it is vulnerable to attacks, digital authorities switched to SHA-256 hash and ECDSA but still wondered why Baltimore CyberTrust Root still issue SHA-1 with RSA encrypted hashes in its certificate to bitcointalk. RSA are secured but how about SHA1
Quote
SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) dates back to 1995 and has been known to be vulnerable to theoretical attacks since 2005. The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology has banned the use of SHA-1 by U.S. federal agencies since 2010, and digital certificate authorities have not been allowed to issue SHA-1-signed certificates since Jan. 1, 2016,

How to check the certification of Bitcointalk
  • Web addresses with padlock at the right edge of the url proves validity of the sites certification and quick way to tell if the site is certified or not. To check the validity documentation click on the padlock at the edge of the url.




  • Next tap on certification to provide the companies that issued the certification to the forum this is also applied to every website on the internet



  • There are three certifications for the forum address each having it's own unique certificate



  • check the detail of each certificate authorities to view their certification then


  • From there you scroll down to see the digital signature algorithm used by each certification authority


still wondering why this has to use SHA1






[/list]

Always check for this padlock at the url to ensure the sites you are visiting are well validated and secure and that they use SHA256 signature algorithm.

looks like chelsea will succeed to get Jules Kounde. because barcelona seems to have given up on getting it. and this time it was also rumored that chelsea's next target was to recruit forwards. and this time chelsea are eyeing Allan Saint-Maximin from Newcastle.

Yes, Chelsea managements are seriously working to make sure they add Jules kounde to their players in this season because their managements don't want what happened last season to repeat itself again in this season than to bring in talented players that will help the team to perform well through out the tournament. I think, Barcelona managements are willing to sign in Jules kounde into their team, but they don't have the money to sign such player in this season. I don't think, Chelsea managements will be able to sign Saint- maximin in this season because they will like to study him first in this season before they can sign him into the team next season.
Barcelona are planning on making a last minute offer and are not willing to give up yet on Jules kounde. The Blaugrana are yet to make an offer and Sevilla stating it clear that they will consider Barça once their offer matches that of Chelsea.The frenchman is so passionate about playing for Barcelona and Sevilla willing to give in once Barcelona offer triggers their quest

Nations Adopting Bitcoin as Legal Tender:
One of the biggest achievements Bitcoin has achieved in recent years is this two cities adopting Bitcoin as legal tenders against all odds. I believe after the October 12-14, 2022  AMSTERDAM Bitcoin conference the Bitcoin community will likely record more adoptions from participating nations

Individual Bitcoin Hodlders:
Newbies too can hodl if the get the right information and orientation about Bitcoin investment. I can recall when i was first introduced to Botcoin investment it was presented like a Ponzi scheme where you buy and prices will keep increasing for ever without any sign of bearish retracement but along the line i discovered it is a highly volatile market and as such it requires enough knowledge and research to stay productive in the market

Hodling Bitcoin Miners:
I don't thinks any miners will be willing to quit now because prices of its incentives is still sustainable to run a node except for nodes whose computational power isn't sufficient enough to mint. Regardless of how this miners sell off and move their Bitcoin from their wallets Hodlers will always hodl.

Believing Exchange and Trading platform:
Exchanges are obviously business agents they don't care about you nor your coin. They only smile at your coin when the market is bullish and every coin you leave in an exchange is never yours because it can be seized, frozen and banned at anytime. This new recruits will still follow the usual routine of existing exchanges

Would you have to be reading a lot of financial information just to make one move ? In crypto, sometimes we research a project for a few days before deciding whether to invest on it or not. And even after that, you need to keep up with the latest updates and news to avoid rug pulls and such like what happened to Terra and Celsius. I wonder how much information you'd have to process if you get deep into Forex trading ?
The same way you consume lots of research about a project in crypto investment and even trading same thing applies to forex. Although in forex currencies pairs are not as volatile as crypto assets so you can choose to go technical either as a swing or scalp trader but metals and stocks are highly volatile so a combination of technical and fundamental analysis might apply.

 All good traders are readers so to make a good trading decision your willingness to read more and more financial information will prove that.
1030  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: taking out a loan for a sports bet (UPDATE) + fixed match on: July 22, 2022, 06:28:12 AM
Hi everyone, about a month ago I made a post about having insider info for a soccer match and I asked the community what the best way was to take out a large loan. I had a lot of people advise me not to do so, so I took your advice and didn't take out a loan, instead I just placed the amount I already had in my account.
The advice was meant to save you the risk of losing. You risked what you had in your account and if it went negative you will not start sourcing for funds to offset your loan.

Quote
Anyway, the bet won easily so I couldn't help but feel like I should've taken out the loan... Sad

I wanted to share a match on here in case anyone wants to follow along, I'm unable to place a large bet on this so I'm hoping someone else takes advantage. I hope this isn't against any community guidelines.
You got lucky this time. But if you feel extremely confident about this insider of yours why not take the loan place the bet then feed us with your next outcome maybe by then a handful might become as convinced as your are that this insider is a sure bet.

Manchester City has just starting their pre season match yesterday and they can win from Club America 2-1 and De Bruyne scoring 2 goals on that match and Manchester City has dominated the match but they cannot created more attempts to score goals however i saw Haaland on the bench but he still hasn't been played by Guardiola and next match on this sunday Manchester City their opponent is Bayern Munich and i think this is big match and people expect Haaland will played

This is a sign that Manchester city will still perform well in next season, because their players really demonstrated well through out the match that made them to achieve the victory at the end of the match.  I think, Manchester city coach bench Haaland to test other players if they can perform well without Haaland, which they really demonstrated well though out the first half and second half. I believe, Manchester city coach will definitely use Haaland in their next match to allow him demonstrate his tactics for their fans to believe that they are fully ready to achieve next season premiere league title again.
Pep Gaurdiola is a tactical manager. He has his reason for benching Haaland. A good coach is one who source for alternative when a key striker is absent and i believe this was what Pep was trying out to ensure and that he wins his matches with or without Haaland. I believe by the next match against Bayern Haaland will play his debut game. I hope to see him score against his former rival club

Wait what? If I open a Lightning channel with you, it's just between us, without any kind of escrow.
Or are you trying to say it would be possible to construct such an escrow? It's not 100% clear to me what you're trying to say.
The escrow here reduces counter party risk. This is achieved by utilizing a cryptographic passphrase. In essence this time-based escrow  ensures the receiver of the payment acknowledges it with a given period of time and once this time elapses the receiver forfeits the payment. This receiver performs two tasks to access the fund.
  • Input the right passphrase
  • Then claim the payment
And this is done within a certain time frame in which if the receiver inputs an incorrect passphrase and cannot claim the payment within that time bound the receiver loses the payment
1033  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A little profit for $17k+ buyers on: July 21, 2022, 08:24:19 AM
Now the price of bitcoin has reached $ 24k and those who buy at $ 17k can get a profit of more than 40%, of course this is a large profit, I bought the cheapest bitcoin at the price of $ 20560 and has received a profit of more than 15%, unfortunately I only bought with a small amount of only $ 1200.
Did you bother checking the candle formed after the price reached $24k and did you also pay attention to how the bears pushed back price down after the price hovered around $24k for a while. This is the fake or bull trap i was referring to. I knew a fake breakout will definitely occur making investor believe the Bulls have taken charge then boom price will start dropping again

More complex phishing attacks can be hard to detect. One can also look up any link sent to them either by newbies or unknown users using search engines to ensure the are legit because links turning green is only an indication it has contents. As time keep advancing Phishing attacks now look some how close to it's original links. So generally search engines either on the proposed site or using a completely different browser that has no information linked to you can also be another advantage...

You are looking for 100% pump on BTC and ETH is that not greed. Except you are trading on shit coin which is completely at your own peril. Trust me no exchange will guarantee you upto 10% pump even in the Bull season. All trades are done at your own discretion. If you target on making 100% profit then embark on a long term trade (position trading) that way you can get something close to your target even on Binance
1036  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Is there a way to figure out a HTLC's time and date? on: July 21, 2022, 07:43:45 AM
If I ask the two parties to provide these HTLCs to me, is there a way to figure out exact time/date?
In lightening network an escrow keeps a DB that tracks the recent channel-state and for this to be effective it comes with a timestamp so definitely if either of the parties decides to share the HTLCs to you then you can get the exact date and time of the transaction.
1037  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Is there a way to figure out a HTLC's time and date? on: July 21, 2022, 07:16:04 AM
They are entirely done off-chain using multi-sig and scripting which allows for decentralized contracts. HTLC allows the two parties involved in the transaction  to update the balances in the channel instead of broadcasting on the blockchain making it impossible to figure out the time and date any HTLC commitment transaction was done since it wasn't hashed on the blockchain which means each commitment has two versions of the same output and each can only broadcast their own version of the transaction.

With the use of this nLockTime this transaction can remain open indefinitely and the final output locked via sequential number

Regarding the new poll questioning will Ten Hag bring the glory days back to Man Utd, I voted no. My reason for that is because whilst Guardiola & Klopp are still managing in England no other team is going to be winning the title. Those two managers are levels above everybody else & until they leave their monopoly of being 1st & 2nd is not going to get broken up imo.
This sounds like a bet on Ten Hag. I won't dispute the fact Klopp, Guardiola i will even go ahead to add Tuchel has made the Top three unbreakable as long as the remain managers. Yet we can't underestimate Ten Hag on his tactics to bring man united to glory, he proved he can by winning Eredivisie league for Ajax which many think is a small achievement. I will even go ahead to say Conte is coming back this season as threat to the top 3 not just Ten Hag alone. I long to see a re-arranged table by next season....

In my opinion, Real Madrid is in the best position among the teams currently in La Liga. But they won the Champions League trophy a few days ago with few stars. Real Madrid already occupy the top position in the points table with the most points in La-Liga. They are capable of fighting any club but very hard.
Your point remains vaild if it only referred to last season. I mean we have lots of expectations from Barcelona in the coming season and and sunday 24th july been club friendlies between Barcelona and Real Madrid will give a glimpse of what we should be expecting from both club by next season. Real Madrid were excellent last season but i bet they will have a more difficult season this time

Gambling is best defined based on one's personal experience and  no matter the outcome of their experience it doesn't remove the fact that gambling is fun. Supporting the ban of gambling is like depriving people from their right to chose what they want for themselves. Gambling could be bad and good at the same time depending on how the gambler handles their gambling passion. Gambling is for adults that have full control of their will and emotions
