1141  Local / Português (Portuguese) / Re: Rolante: a cidade mais Bitcoiner do Brasil on: May 20, 2023, 05:37:24 PM
1. Rolante, no Rio Grande do Sul é considerada a ''cidade mais Bitcoiner do Brasil''. Eu nunca tinha ouvido falar, mas eles tem quase 100 estabelecimentos na cidade que aceitam Bitcoin e a cidade tem 21 mil habitantes só, então é realmente algo expressivo em termos pelo menos de conhecimento. Não tenho ideia de valor movimentado.

Caraca meu, para uma cidadezinha dessas isso é uma mobilização e tanto do comércio.
Me ficou a dúvida de quem é que teve a ideia de começar isso... se é a algo que surgiu de alguém já com bastante grana e houve algum incentivo ou se foi algo pequeno mesmo que se alastrou por amor.

De toda forma, eu também não sabia disso em Rolante (nem conhecia a cidade) e duvido que muita gente sabe.
Exemplos assim deveriam ser mais divulgados, principalmente em sites que são desse meio, de forma a incentivar o turismo nessa cidade e fazer com que o negócio cresça e se expanda.

Meu único medo é quando isso incomodar alguém poderoso Embarrassed

De acordo com a Trezor, haveria um alerta no software de que a HW está rodando um firmware não oficial: https://twitter.com/Trezor/status/1658484096040054788/photo/1

Cara, eu até acredito que seja possível fazer um monte de bloqueios e verificações a nivel de hardware que sejam facilmente verificáveis através de um software. Mas ainda assim eu fico na dúvida se não há sempre algum hacker que consiga utilizar de mecanismos originais da Trezor, por exemplo, ou então fazer um clone idêntico do componente e suas assinaturas e depois simplesmente adicionar algo intermediário apenas para ler o tráfego e eventualmente capturar oque lhe é interessante para injetar códigos mal intencionados.

Sei lá... mas hoje um simples "pendrive" de pessoas comuns carrega muito mais valor do que muitas contas bancárias de gente rica/famosa.
Não duvido nada que tenha empresas especialistas com muito dinheiro e fnucionários de mentes brilhantes trabalhando para bolar esquemas em cima dessas hardware wallets.

A única vez que comprei uma hardware wallet foi direto do fbricante, e ainda tomei todos os cuidados para me certificiar de que a embalagem não estava violada, de que ela aparentemente era original por fora e por dentro e ainda demorou para eu ter a confiança de passar meus míseros satoshis da walletpapper para a Nano S.

Botafogo vs Fluminese will be the most excting match to watch followed by Palmeiras vs Santos

I don't want to detract from the importance of these matches, but Grêmio x Internacional should also be a very popular game, after all its a game that makes all of Rio Grande de Sul estade (at least) stop everything to watch.

This is a game that will define many things for both teams, because if Internacional wins, coach Mano Menezes will gain a few more days in charge of the Colorado team, while in Grêmio the climate of peace and tranquility can become quite turbulent. But, if Interncional loses then probably Menezes will be cut and Grêmio can in fact say that the crisis is over for now.

My bet, unfortunately, is against the team of my heart, as Internacional is in a very bad phase and historically it hasn't managed to win the last matches it played against Grêmio.
1144  Economy / Gambling / Re: Slot Educational Parade on: May 20, 2023, 05:14:01 PM
in the video, it is not explained which region (city) it comes from but it is clear that the parade is from my country, in the parade it is clear what slot players get when they play from the "first" month (still motorbikes are expensive) to month "fourth" (ugly motorcycle).

without direct education by the central and local governments to young people and the general public, I think this kind of parade is not effective enough, it's even obvious, the parade is the initiative of the private community in the area.

do you think, a parade like this will be effective in reducing the level of gambling addiction?

Certainly not, such a parade has much more potential to attract more players and addict more people than to educate them about the problems that gambling can cause.
Anyway, I believe Pragmatic Play is very happy for the free advertising of the Gates of Olympicus slot.

Anyway, I believe that this parade only reached the residents of a small province and the message they conveyed was absorbed by a very small portion of the universe of people involved in gambling.
I doubt that something like this could have an impact in a larger or more populous city.
1145  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Gambling Operator Court Case on: May 20, 2023, 05:08:15 PM
What is the maximum number of bets that one can place per day, and do casinos have a system in place to identify any unusual spikes in a user's daily betting activity? Would it be regarded as a component of the casino's responsible gambling policy or as interfering in someone else's affairs it they lock the  gambler's account?

Honestly, to this day I don't know of any case where a given company was forced to regulate the consumption of exaggerated products or services by customers.
With the exception of bars or similar, where the excessive consumption of alcohol by a customer can lead to problems of depredation or bad image on the part of the customer.
So, as long as the customer is paying regularly, there's no point in banning it.

But, I do agree that this really should change when it comes to gambling. It depends on each country, obviously, to create a law that tracks the gaming habits and average spending of a player, and at least alerts the player when a certain limit is reached or even limits its operations in stricter cases.

But for that, there needs to be a law, otherwise, I doubt that casinos, like any establishment, will prevent customers from consuming their services.

Oi pessoal!

Acabei de notar que agora sou um Jr. Member aqui no fórum e gostaria de agradecer a todos pela oportunidade e pelo apoio. É uma conquista significativa para mim.

Parabéns @guid8, há quem pense que alcançar o primeiro upgrade de rank (na verdade já o segundo, mas ninguém considera os newbie Cheesy) é moleza, mas saiba que atualmente ser ativo na comunidade, postar bons conteúdos e interagir positivamente de forma que seja reconhecido e receba merits por isso é algo quase raro de se verem em novos membros falantes da língua portuguesa por aqui ultimamente.

Você adquiriu confiança e nosso respeito, continue assim pois em alguns meses quero te parabénizar também por alcançar o nível Legendary... quem sabe você não consiga bater o recorde de alcançá-lo em menos tempo.

Qualquer das formas, eu continuo com a sensação que eles falharam na comunicação e as coisas não são bem como aparentam ser. Mas, agora o mal já está feito e dificilmente conseguem dar a volta. De certeza que as vendas baixaram nos últimos dias...

Com certeza, e o pior é que a concorrência parece estar querendo aprovietar esse momento para abocanhar os clientes da Ledger com várias promoções de 10 á 20% ou mais de desconto.

E o problema não foi só comunicação não, eles tentaram inventar algo para ser inovador (é assim que se destaca da concorrência) mas acho que a ideia da vez foi do estagiário Tongue

Vendas perdidas agora, certamente, mas também milhares de futura vendas que nunca mais serão concretizadas pois a Ledger manchou sua reputação e pelas últimos anúncios que andei lendo, parece que não vão voltar atrás.

Sorte a minha que não comprei a Nano S, vou escolher outro fabricante para minha próxima aquisição.

This start of the season has been very interesting, Botafogo is really surprising and is still at the top, they lost in their last game against Goias in a game that looked like Batofogo would win easily, Botafogo even had the luck to score the first goal thanks to a penalty that they benefited from, but even with the advantage of the goal and also having the advantage that in the last games they had not lost while goias came into this game with a sequence of 3 consecutive defeats, it was expected that botafogo would win the game, but goias surprised by scoring the equalizer in the first half, then in the second half goal scored the second goal and won the game

Botafogo's greatness so far is undeniable, but something that is clear is the "blow" he took in that last game.
I think that after so many wins, losing the first game is always more painful than ifthey had lost a game earlier and now followed it up with a few more wins.

Of course, there aren't team in the world that wins every game it plays, but the first defeat can be something that greatly affects the emotions of Botafogo players and maybe their excellent performance regresses after this first defeat.

Anyway, there are still many games ahead... Botafogo has my respect, but I still dont believe in him as a favorite to lift this cup.
1149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About football betting on: May 19, 2023, 12:29:36 AM
Football gambling really depends on the match results of the club we choose. This kind of bet is more real than betting on slots, cards and so on. But soccer betting is also determined for several matches, so the chance for us to choose the wrong one is also very large. Apart from that, giving points for one club that is weaker, under or over, this will make us make the wrong choice, so that the wins for the platform owner are much bigger than the users.

I agree with you in parts...

In fact, sports betting is more predictable than betting on slots, for example, but when choosing casinos with a good reputation, the chance of manipulation decreases dramatically.
Furthermore, it is prudent to bear in mind that even sports games are manipulated, as we have already had several reports of fraud involving players who consciously forced fouls, penalties, cards and even scored goals against their own team in order to benefit certain bettors. .

About betting on weaker clubs, sometimes this can be a good bet if you really believe that this club has a chance of winning, the rewards are usually much greater when playing against the odds of the house and the other players.
1150  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best and worse slots on: May 19, 2023, 12:23:48 AM
I have been playing a few slots lately and have had some good winnings but nothing huge yet. Most of the YouTube gamblers I watch have been playing Sweet Bonanza, so I tried it first with a minimum bonus buy of $20 and sometimesi got into the bonus after few normal spins. The maximum win I had was x7 which is x700 on the game.
I also tried Gates of Olympus, Sugar Rush, and Sweet Bonanza Xmas, but I didn't like any of them. I don't know if I just got used to Sweet Bonanza or if there are other better slots out there. Could you please recommend a good slot with bonus buys and low cost, if possible?

Personally for now I would put Sweet Bonanza as the best slot and Gates of Olympus as the worst one as i never had any winning session with more than 10 bonus buys.

I consider this to be a very personal matter.
In fact there are worse or better games in relation to RTP... some are more advantageous than others.
However, if we disregard the RTP, the vast majority of games will have a lot of difference in preference between players as it is a matter of personal taste and I am sure that a simple poll here on Bitcointalk would be able to prove this.

But... I agree with you on one thing, Sweet Bonanza is one of the best and I like this style of game even as a pastime in the free mobile versions.
1151  Local / Português (Portuguese) / Re: Falência da FTX: mega-tópico sobre recuperação de moedas on: May 18, 2023, 12:54:56 AM
Tivemos uma noticia nada boa circulando nos últimos dias: IRS hits FTX with $44bn tax claim

Basicamente a IRS (Receita federal dos EUA) está cobrando 44 bilhões de dólares em impostos não pagos pela FTX e eles entram na fila como prioridade máxima sobre qualquer outro credor.  Shocked
Caso isso se confirmar não sei como isso poderia ficar pior.

Eu acho que a notícia é boa ein, porque se a IRS foi se "manifestar" agora sobre essa cobrança de impostos, então é porque eles vislumbraram chances reais da FTX reaver aquela parte da grana com a Gênesis ou então de alguma outra forma que ainda não foi divulgada à público.

O problema é oque a IRS vai fazer quando receber isso... despejar os BTC no mercado? Embarrassed
De qualquer forma, espero que isso não se torne uma novela igual foi com a MTX Gox em que até hoje esse fantasma nos assombra.

Cara é bem preocupante, e pelo visto já gerou um barulho imenso pela internet.
Acho que eles devem voltar atrás com a repercussão que está tendo, e que ainda vai ter.

Eu não entendi bem se a proposta é fazer o usuário escrever a seed para ela ser guardada por eles, ou se eles vão extrair da hard wallet.
Se for a segunda opção, eu achei bem preocupante

O pessoal está discutindo aqui também: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5452900.0

Então, apesar de ambas as opções serem ruim, a segunda é imensamente pior orque contradiz tudo oque a Ledger tem falando até então de que a seed seria tão protegida a nível de hardware que nem mesmo um upgrade de firmware seria capaz de "arrancar" ela de dentro do equipamento.

Sempre gotei da Ledger, até porque volta e meia fazem umas promoções que compensam muito mais em relação à Trezor, mas confesso que também fiquei bem preocupado apesar de ainda ter uma NANO S, pois se a mentalidade dos cara hegaram à esse nível... complicado. Todos os produtos que carregam a marca Ledger acabam perdendo a credibilidade.

Por que será que fizeram isso? acharam realmente que seria um recurso "bacana" que os usuários aceitariam só porque a seed estaria criptografada em diferentes provedores? Tongue

I know about this and how difficult it is to take a visa for other people to America it takes years for normal people to get accepted but since we know there will be millions of visitors going to America for watching the games, I this there will be some special rules for these people, otherwise, none can easily watch the 2026 world cup games in America.

Yeah... if even Qatar allowed the sale of alcoholic beverages in public, why can't ′′ Uncle Biden ′′ also facilitate the entry of some terrorists on American soil?

Jokes aside, I agree that certain special visas (with a reduced time for the FIFA World Cup event) can be facilitated for certain tourists without having to face so much bureaucracy, but even so, I believe that this should not be a quick process , so... anyone who wants to watch the games needs to start looking for a visa today instead of waiting for this facilitation.

In fact, Ferrari did not start the 2023 season well, but I agree with Sainz's statement when he stated that they are working hard to find answers to the problems faced and try to balance the dispute with Red Bull in the next races.
I've been a big fan of Ferrari since before the championship started, but unfortunately in the first five races of the year, the best result that the Italian team achieved was Leclerc's third place in the Azerbaijan GP. Ferrari is only fourth in the constructors' championship with 78 points.

It is a pity that the Emilia-Romagna GP was cancelled, as Ferrari had the opportunity to contest three consecutive races at home, but there are still two left and the support of the fans must be fundamental to encourage Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz to seek good results .
1155  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there play and pay later casinos? on: May 18, 2023, 12:24:36 AM
To play in any casino you have to come with your money or asset, or are there any casinos that allow play and pay later? Or I am thinking if maybe he used a credit card for gambling? We all know that debt is possible on cards..

I believe not, because gambling is a sector that would easily attract bad payers and would certainly have a very high default rate.
It is already difficult for many players to deal emotionally with losses, so imagine if these players can still somehow prevent the payment from being made.
This can be done by calling the bank and asking them to cancel/block the credit card.
On crypto-only sites, this would be impossible to control.
On sites that accept deposit in Fiat, it could be necessary to have a much stricter KYC to curb fraud as well.

Anyway, I doubt it exists or that it would work on a gambling site.
1156  Local / Português (Portuguese) / Re: Como vocês distribuem seus méritos? on: May 17, 2023, 01:49:12 AM
é muito raro eu dar merits para users legendary, por exemplo, raríssimo no meu caso.

Mas não é por ser Legendary que merece menos merits.

Claro que podemos dar atenção a quem mais precisa para subir de nível, mas os Legendary também merecem merits, se fizerem bons posts (que para terem chegado a esse nível, com certeza que fazem).

Então, eu sei que o @Lucasgabd não quis dizer que legendarys não mereçam merits, mas confesso que eu também já tive essa mentalidade de que eles não precisam porque já chegaram no topo, como se os merits fossem apenas um instrumento para se subir de rank.

Digo isso porque é uma visão que eu tinha dos Merits logo que isso foi lançado, não estou falando do @Lucasgabd , por favor não me interpretem mal.

Enfim... conforme o @joker_josue bem comentou, até é bacana incentivar mais quem ainda precisa subir de rank e é participativo (eu aqui  Tongue ) mas é preciso ter a visão de que os merits são acima de tudo um "merito", um reconhecimento ao usuário por algo de valor que ele fez ou está agregando ao fórum e demais usuários. Além de que esses merits recebidos são necessários para que todo mundo, até os Legendary mantenham sua reputação, mostrando para a comunidade que ainda são reconhecido pelas suas boas postagens e também para conseguir ou manter suas participações em campanhas de assinaturas.
1157  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Things that still make feel awkward with some online casinos on: May 17, 2023, 01:42:00 AM
Why are some online gambling platforms having high withdrawal fee? I know Bitcoin recently has a high transaction fee but that's no more right now, some online casinos are still asking for 5$ per transaction when it should be 1$ or less.

Not just only Bitcoin withdrawal, even coins with very low transaction fee, isn't this robbery? If you just signed up on a centralized exchange, you can pretend as if you want to withdraw, to know how much the gas fee costs, but on online casino, you will see this only after you have enough wins or funds for withdrawal.

It's always like this: When the mempool congests or there is another factor that justifies an increase, then the rates go up instantly. But when things normalize, rates take much longer to fall and sometimes they stay at the same value for good.

However, the best form of protest we can do is to simply stop playing on those sites that charge abusive fees. Because we have many good sites, competition is high and we must value those sites that practice the most honest values with players.

I recommend you to take a look at Duelbits Wink

But then again, not sure if a lot of people would actually go to the US, as many governments are warning against it

In fact, despite all the problems, I believe that in terms of security, Qatar is much better than the United States, Canada and Mexico.
But even so, I believe that this is the least of the problems that could prevent tourists from going to watch the 2026 World Cup games in person.

The main factors that could make this difficult, I still believe are:
  • The money: Even believing that it will be cheaper than the Qatar Cup, this is still a privilege for few people in the world;
  • The visa: Unlike Qatar, it is much more complicated to get a visa to enter the USA, which will host most of the games, not to mention that citizens of certain countries are prohibited from entering there... they cannot even apply of the process.
  • The culture of the country: The United States has a bad reputation in many countries or religions, something that will certainly prevent much of the world from visiting them.
1159  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Question about slot machines and RTP on: May 17, 2023, 01:22:06 AM
How does the Pragmatic Play benefits from this? Are they just hoping that people won't notice and play the old one or something?

As much as that they are practically identical (visually) there must be some change in the game mechanics, in the bonuses or some extra element that was added or removed.

The increase in RTP is necessary to attract users to try it, because what would be the incentive for players to test something new in a game that still has its mechanics unknown and that brings more insecurity to the player?

And yes... I believe most players don't even notice these differences and keep playing the old one, especially if they've already added it to their favorite games.

[...]

Sharing my personal experience of my recent losses so that no one will commit this same mistake. Bet responsibly. I will stay away from gambling for a while now that mempool is starting to suck once again.

DON'T GAMBLE IF THE INSTANT WITHDRAWAL IS NOT AVAILABLE!

I have always only bet with the money I had in the bank (balance on the site), I think it is totally wrong to have a balance that is not yet available for use, no matter how good or bad the game's odds are.
Anyway, everyone has their own strategy and what might work well for you certainly wouldn't work for me because you need to have much, much greater game control.
In any case, it's really good of you to share this because I'm sure other people should do the same and if they read this maybe they'll start to be more careful too.

Good rest from the games, I hope you can resume soon and manage to reverse the damage.
