12061  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Emotions; while betting, will you risk losing your fund to back your club? on: September 27, 2019, 09:48:14 AM
Many years ago my Juventus played against Deportivo La Coruna in the UEFA CL in Spain. That was the first and only time I bet against my team. It felt really wrong watching the match and see Depotivo taking the lead and also scoring a 2nd goal but not being happy about it. I needed Deportivo to win to win my bet but I didn't want the team I support lose. The match ended 2:2, I lost my bet and my team didn't win. A double loss Grin

Inter are also a very good side and just had a strong win against Lazio. Conte is doing a very impressive job over at Italy.
He does a good job in Italy, yes. But he reminds me of the Conte at Juventus from a few years ago. Strong performances in the domestic competitions but not so much on the European stage. We already saw it against Slavia Prague and I don't expect much from Inter against a traditionally strong Barcelona team at their home venue. Looks like a comfortable Barca win to me, with or without Messi.
12063  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum not sending on: September 27, 2019, 08:58:11 AM
I solved the problem by installing the Electrum app on my phone and then scanning the QR code. Worked first time. Thank you all
You still didn't solve the problem in your desktop client as the base unit there is still set at mbtc when it should be btc. The next time you want to use your desktop client you are going to run into the same problems. Just change the base unit to BTC and after that you can consider this problem solved. 
12064  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Don't share your best email or KYC documents with every bounty or airdrop!!! on: September 27, 2019, 08:43:31 AM
Still, after some time they are so filled with spam that there is no way to use them further.
If the email accounts only purpose is for bounties and airdrops I wouldn't care too much about the spam that is being sent to it. Just don't connect it with anything of importance.

Only pass kyc if your sure on the project where you pass your private documents.

It is impossible to know what ulterior motives a company who is asking for KYC has. Do they need it to comply with regulations, do they want to sell your data on the black market or even try to abuse the info and steal your identity?
Projects who look clean and trustworthy can change over night if their intention was to gain their users trust and go out with a bang.
12065  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Looking for a source that shows televised sports on: September 26, 2019, 09:36:18 AM
@slackovic
Yeah, it seems that is only for the US market. But thanks for looking.

@roosbit
Again, I am not looking for streams or ways to watch the channels but the actual TV schedules of those sports channels.
12066  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Confusing personal message on: September 26, 2019, 09:30:55 AM
Your account should be fine, you just received a spam message over PM.
Anyways, for future reference you can bookmark this page > https://bitcointalk.org/myips.php
It will show you recent IPs used to access your account. Take a look and see if there are any unknown IPs there, unless you use a VPN or TOR. In that case all of them would be unfamiliar.
12067  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum not sending on: September 26, 2019, 09:00:11 AM
I am pretty sure that what Abdussamad said is correct. No seller would ask for a 0.0035mbtc payment when such a transaction would not be accepted by any node. If you want share the link what you are trying to buy here and let us have a look at it. Or make a screenshot if you want it to stay private and let us see the correct price of the item.
12068  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Looking for a source that shows televised sports on: September 26, 2019, 08:46:10 AM
Guys thanks for your suggestions but I am not looking for IPTV or streaming services or other ways to watch sports.
I need a website that shows the TV schedules and TV guides for channels that broadcast sports. If you take a look at the link of liveonsat I posted you can pick a league that is of interest to you and check which TV channels show matches from that league. That is what I need but haven't been able to find anything useful for sports other than football.
12069  Other / Meta / Re: Let's make Off-topic section signature-free. on: September 25, 2019, 10:11:53 AM
Did you ever watch the TV series 'The Wire'?
They resolved the drug problem in Baltimore by giving the drug dealers and users their own district where they could go to buy, sell and use drugs.
The idea was that it would minimize drug trade in the city. It worked but it created a lot of problems in the drug green zone but that is another story.
Let them have their fun in the off-topic, who cares as long as it doesn't spill over to the normal parts of the forum. I'd rather have the spam contained there than seeing it everywhere else, just like the detectives from The Wire. 
12070  Other / Meta / Re: It's quite time for some cooperation or moderation toward signature campaigns. on: September 25, 2019, 09:53:42 AM
Same for plagiarism, you have been paying accounts to plagerise? Permaban..
A campaign manager would have to work full time to do such in depth checks for every single post and to run them through a plagiarism checker. After that he would have to filter out posts that he suspects are plagiarized and compare them further with found sources... That is an awful lot of work.

50 members per campaign posting 25 posts each (minimum) equals 1250 posts per week. Not to mention that sometimes only parts of the post are plagiarized so during the initial checking he could think everything is ok when in fact 2 out of the total 20 sentences are copy/pasted.

My question to campaign managers, would you really go through all this hassle?   
12071  Other / Meta / Re: Board for Satoshi identity threads? on: September 25, 2019, 09:36:53 AM
Those threads have no importance and shouldn't have a separate board. Instead they should be deleted or locked as they bring no value to the forum and almost all possible scenarios regarding his identity have been discussed before.  
12072  Economy / Gambling discussion / Looking for a source that shows televised sports on: September 25, 2019, 09:32:56 AM
Like the title says. I am looking for websites that show satellite channels that will broadcast live sports.
Similar to what https://liveonsat.com/quickindex.html does for football. Unfortunately the information for other sports other than rugby is often missing or they are showing only big events like Euroleague or World Championships.
I have a couple of sources that I check but they only show the channels for a few days in advance.

I am searching for a source or several that show upcoming basketball, handball, ice hockey, volleyball etc.

I appreciate your help. 
12073  Other / Meta / Re: Root cause of permanent bans because of plagiarism made years ago on: September 25, 2019, 09:11:58 AM
For not a native speaker and have no depth knowledge in regards to the topic...
That's why I said earlier that there are so many different boards and threads. Don't talk about topics you know nothing about. If you have never used Linux and Bitcoin core you shouldn't be discussing or copy/pasting how to setup and configure Bitcoin Core on a Linux machine. Just stick to the stuff that you know.
Btw this is not a personal reply to you, it is a general thought.   
12074  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: 10% ROI every day offer? on: September 24, 2019, 09:20:10 AM
A Certified Blockchain Expert looking for investors and PM-ing random people over Instagram/Telegram is not a person you should trust and send him any money.
Cloud mining scams are pretty common as well. Google the following and check the results: site: bitcointalk.org cloud mining scam

Don't send any money to the 'expert'. If he was one he wouldn't need to PM people looking for investments. Instead investors would fight each other for a chance to invest in his companies.   
12075  Other / Meta / Re: Root cause of permanent bans because of plagiarism made years ago on: September 24, 2019, 08:58:15 AM
People hope to use plagiarism to achieve financial gain.
Is it really that difficult to write 2 or 3 sentences on your own on a topic that interests you without cheating!? We have so many different boards filled with threads of every possible genre you don't even need extensive knowledge to be able to participate in the discussions. Threads where all you need to do is express your own opinion and than people can't even do that and they have to copy someone else's. 
12076  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: USBHarpoon - a charging cable that can hack your computer on: September 24, 2019, 08:18:00 AM
If an attacker sets up a public charging station somewhere, they could infect hundreds of users.
That is exactly what he does at the end of the 2nd video in the original article. If you rewind to 0:50 you can see that he plugs in the USB cable as a charger in a conference room somewhere. And the trap is set!
12077  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which are the fastest streaming services available? on: September 24, 2019, 08:06:00 AM
Thanks LTU_btc I got the invite. They changed two different discord channels and after that they created a new site - https://home.footybite.com/
They don't use discord either as the channel is too much for them to handle as they say. Only the footybite site is used for now. 
12078  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which are the fastest streaming services available? on: September 23, 2019, 04:52:47 PM
But if you want to have image, the subreddits for streaming usually have good links.
/r/nbastreams
/r/nflstreams
/r/NHLStreams
/r/soccerstreams
/r/rugbystreams

Unfortunately soccer streams have been banned from reddit. There have been a couple of alternative sites but they have also been banned.
I heard soccerstreams now has a discord server but haven't found it. Anyone has info on soccerstreams on discord or a fresh new sites with good streams?
12079  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / USBHarpoon - a charging cable that can hack your computer on: September 23, 2019, 09:12:26 AM
Did a quick search and couldn't find any threads talking about this.

I saw a link about this in our local forum so credits go to the OP sbogovac
Source: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2270988.msg52525034#msg52525034
Original article: https://latesthackingnews.com/2018/08/27/usbharpoon-a-charging-cable-that-hacks-your-computer/

This was published last year and I think it fits in this section since it can be used to compromise both Windows and Macbooks via a compromised USB cable, similar to those we use with hardware wallets or mobile phones.

Two developers created a USB charging cable that they named USBharpoon that can be used "to compromise a computer in just a few seconds".



Quote
The cable was modified by researchers to transfer both data and power which makes it difficult to notice any abnormal behaviour from the user.

Once the cable is plugged in it can download and execute a malicious code on the PC and it works both on Windows and Mac. There are example videos on the link.

The lesson here is: Always buy hardware from official sources. Don't go for the cheap variant to save a few bucks if what you are protecting is worth a lot more.

It will not be easy for Dinamo to fight in parallel on 2 fronts.
No it wont but the financial benefits the Champions League offers + the introduction of the Dinamo players to Europe's elite teams will pay off. Dinamo is a team who have always made significant sales on the transfer market and what better way to boost the value of their players than to play like they did against Atalanta.

The prize money paid by UEFA is €3 Million for every win and €1 Million for every draw. That is a lot of money for smaller teams.
