The hack of Etherdelta from a few years ago was a good test for hardware wallets. I think it was back in 2017 when the DNS servers of the site were replaced and many users who logged in to the fake site got their ETH accounts emptied and tokens stolen. Even users using MetaMask reported that they got their accounts emptied. But those who logged in to the fake site with a hardware wallet were not affected because the hacker would still need physical access to the hardware devices!

What I don't understand is when people are trying to force a win. They lose a few times and then they get angry (with the world apparently) and make a bet where the probability to win is very low to none existing... usually it ends up with them losing that bet as well.

If you don't like the on-forum search function you can search for posts on google.
Add site:bitcointalk.org followed by the content you are searching for to get google to display search results from this forum only.

I see no problem in having self-moderated threads anywhere on the forum but I agree with OP that locked threads should be removed from the marketplace. If a thread is locked immediately after the thread is started those threads should be removed since it is a big red flag.

A question to those who report a lot: What happens when you report a closed thread in the marketplace? How is your report treated?

I prefer betting on sports rather than playing casino games. I bet for fun, mostly on the weekends and on matches based on available information such as player availability, motivation and other factors that could help me determine the outcome of a match.

It was explained to you in the past that bitcoin transactions can't be reversed and you keep suggesting how it is possible. Once a transaction is confirmed on the blockchain that is it. The only person that can send it back is the person in control of the private keys for that address.

It is not Electrum's fault that you installed a fake wallet. You were simply not careful and fell for the tricks of a scammer. It is sad but it happens. Learn from the mistake and accept the facts how they are in order to improve the safety of your funds.

I see two issues in storing your seed in this way.

1. The other party can always access your wallet and empty it of any coins.
2. A third party can steal the seed from the person you gave it to and do the same. 

Although you might trust that person never to steal your money he might lose your seed, misplace it or simply have it stolen from him.
It is not a good idea to give another person THE ONLY copy of your seed words.

I think Sarri could be a really good choice. Napoli played some great football with Sarri. He was never able to win the title because of Juventus so he would be motivated to get some silverware in his career as well. He has the chance to win the Europe League now with Chelsea and after that I am sure he would be interested in some more. 

The only problem I see is that Juventus doesn't generally look for a manager who plays beautiful football but one who wins. That is the only thing that matters and that is the philosophy of the club. That is why most of the mentioned coaches aren't really in accordance with that philosophy but maybe times will change soon! 

They are because they accept anyone who applies in an altcoin signature campaign!
Is there any screening process that these bounty managers do? Do any of the applicants get rejected? I am not asking the reputable managers managing BTC campaigns but the rest. It seems that anyone gets accepted as long as you have the needed rank.

Simply looking at the numbers you would understand that a manager of an alt campaign doesn't have much time to check the posts.
- They accept 300+ users, maybe even 1000s in their signature campaigns.
- Many campaigns also have social media campaigns. Not sure what the average is in those, but lets say 2000 users. X3 for facebook, twitter, instagram for example.

So lets say that a campaign has 300 participants in their signature campaign. Every user has to post 15 posts weekly. 300 users = 4.500 posts weekly.
2.000 social media participants in facebook, twitter and instagram campaign = 6.000 posts daily, 42.000 weekly.
Altogether that is 46.500 weekly posts that need to be checked by a human in terms of quality!
And that is just the work that needs to be handled for Sig and Social Media campaigns and there is much more.

To sum up, most bounty managers can't check and don't check what the participants in their campaigns post as there is no time for that.
We are in need of a particular set of guidelines and rules for Altcoin bounty managers if something is to change.

Try to PM theymos or Cyrus directly including a link to this thread. They might or might not have seen your requests here.

Juventus fans hate Mourinho and I doubt the Juve management would want to anger them. Besides, the quality of his work is not like in the days of Porto and Inter. He seems to create a lot of trouble and controversies and ends up getting sacked with a hefty sum of money being paid to him due to the termination of his contract.
I read yesterday that Guardiola's meeting with Paratici (of Juventus) has nothing to do with a potential move by Guardiola to Juve. They were talking about a charity match. At least that's what they say.

First of all, Sorry for your Loss!

What you can try is to search through her PC looking for document types like .txt, .doc, .docx. The most common document extensions. If she saved her seed phrase anywhere on here pc it is likely that she did it in either Word or Notepad.

On Windows 10 you open 'My Computer'.
In the right upper corner you have a search field. Click on that.
Now click on 'Search Tools' which is now available in the menu.
In the 'Type' drop down menu select 'Document'.

The PC should now start a search looking for all known document extensions including .txt .doc etc.
Let it search and after it is done look through the results in search for anything that might look like a word list - those are the seed words.

After you are done with that, check if she has any USB sticks around and check her emails.

Double check the words, the spelling has to be 100% correct and not a single word can be typed incorrectly.
If you used Electrum to create the seed make sure that you don't select BIP39 from the the options menu.

If it is a well known site they are not going to risk their reputation scamming a member just like that. But if you deposited money on a new or unknown site which is only there to scam people out of their money there is not much anyone can do to help you that hasn't already been suggested.

Manual withdrawals are a normal thing. A casino needs to check if your winnings are in accordance to their TOS and that you didn't use any illegal ways or methods to win, including multiple accounts etc.

Exactly! As an investor you need to make your own research and based on your knowledge and experience understand whether or not the project can become profitable sometimes in the future.
Projects that are advertised as 'absolutely safe' are just trying to take the focus off their faulty whitepapers and technical documentation and have the investors focus on the "guaranteed" profit they will make.

Make sure that you understand first what Bitcoin is and what it does. Learn the proper ways to secure your Bitcoins and how to store them safely. Learn what a seed is and what private keys do. After you acquire some basic knowledge you can start thinking of ways you can help the Bitcointalk community and post some quality content.

Quality content results in merits which means higher ranks and the possible inclusion in a quality signature campaign. That is one of the ways to earn some bitcoins.

If you have some money to invest you can learn about trading and buy some bitcoins for long term holding.   

It is not worth it but for those who don't care about their data and only about those $5, or even less can do it if they want to.
I don't have much experience with airdrops from the last couple of years but I don't think all of them require KYC.
So in case they don't, the details you need to share are probably just your email, ETH address + a tweet or a like. For those from poor countries it can be an easy way to earn. But it is a big IF. IF all that which I mentioned before is fulfilled.

I don't know where you are from but is $5 a lot of money where you live? If it is just pocket change for you it wouldn't make much sense taking part in Airdrops.

For two reasons.
1. For you to actually receive the airdrop the project has to go through a successful ICO and funding stage. - In many cases they fail, so you get nothing.
2. Even if you get a few tokens you have to wait for the project to list on a decent exchange, or sell it on dex like EtherDelta, well below their value. Even after they list usually a huge dump occurs so even if you get a few $ worth of tokens, their market value will drop 70-90% if you don't sell them in the first day of listing.

It is not really worth your time.

The posts they got banned for were probably written years ago at a time when the users were relatively inexperienced. The BT unofficial rules were written sometimes in 2014 and if I remember correctly there were cases where users got banned for posts in 2014/2015, Cellard is one of them i think.

Probably a combination of different things that led to the copy/pasting.
Not knowing the rules.
Administration didn't put so much emphasise on plagiarism back in the time because it wasn't as wide spread as it is today.     

Some reports that I read this morning claim that Maurizio Sarri is now the favourite to become the new Juventus manager. Apparently a reporter close to Sarri came out with this info. The same person was also the first to announce that Sarri would be appointed by Chelsea back in the day. Napoli played a Barcelona style type of football when he was the coach, can't really see Juventus doing the same but improvements need to be made.
