Why don't you continue this in your other topic?
May be he is seeking some attention.

OP, you had plagiarism case. Many accounts were banned and many were receiving signature ban. But 4 years should be enough for salvation however honestly, I do not see you have a chance. You should accept it.

I mean that I don´t use a sticky note app at all to store my passwords.
I believe I downloaded it from the "official" Electrum website
I have not given the seed phrase to anyone
I use a virus system.
Whatever security measurement you had, it was not enough. Somehow an unknown person got access of your seed phrase and they took the coins from you. You should not hope for anything. Sorry for your loss. When you are in crypto this is the risk you take unless you are knowledgeable enough to protect your virtual asset.

I suggest you to learn from this experience and in the future either use multi-sig wallet or use a hardware wallet. $5k+ worth of btc is a good amount and a hardware wallet would cost you not more than $100.

Check this. The same happened with another user recently.

This is where it was compromised. In fact any hot wallet can not be trusted.

Thankfully it was not a fortune. Sorry for your loss brother.

P.S: I hope the large amount which you consider as your asset are safe in a multi sig wallet or hardware wallet. If it's not yet then your first priority will be to send them to a safe wallet.

so what is the most that governments can and cannot do?
If they could do anything to stop bitcoin then they would already done it. They tried it for the last 12 years and still trying and the possibility for them to success is becoming slimmer.

For regulating crypto the best approach from the governments will be to work together with crypto. Accept it and work together with crypto entrepreneurs instead of forcing them to not to use it or making it hard to use it.
1326  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Why do some people pay illogically high fees for transactions? on: May 01, 2023, 08:30:59 AM
Is this done on purpose by some miners to increase the overall transaction fees and collect more fees?
One of the reason I can think of is, not knowing how to set the fees. These days almost all wallet software have feature to adjust fees. I use Electrum always and most of the time the default fees are higher than the minimal fees which is fine to get the next block so knowing to adjust fees is very important for anyone who is in bitcoin.

Another reason could be, not aware of what fees to set but in this particular case it does not seem the suggestion from the wallet software was followed too. 653 sat/vB seems too high to suggest. The sender could be testing something. Or he missed type the fees field when he was trying to adjust the fees.

Usually I noticed gambling companies do not care about fees. They have fixed fees set for withdrawals and sometimes it's too high than the required fees for a block.

I'm the one to join along with you, not having a single point so far in the 5th round. Today I believed somehow I'll get few points. Finally in both the matches the results were completely upside down. Chennai lost the match at the last ball and Mumbai players gave an unexpected performance winning against Rajasthan Royals chasing 212 runs. Already 5 matches of the 5th round over. More five matches left for us to make few points from the 5th round.
We have two match today and I have no idea who I picked. Nothing is going to change for me I guess. So if anyone wants then I can tell what I picked 😂. Let's see if we are able to earn any point.

Yesterday at some point I wanted MI to win. The David guy played a monster innings and he deserves it. Holder was just below average in his last three balls. He needs to learn how to pitch a ball LOL
1328  Economy / Gambling / Re: Looking for the best tipsters in the world on: May 01, 2023, 08:15:16 AM
I really don't understand why people think tipsters can make someone profit. If they were so good at predicting then they were not going to sell the information in exchange of a fees. They could just simply bet of different casino / sportsbooks and make a lot of money.

Tipsters are like those gurus online who teach others how to sell product and make money where they are selling their BS courses and earning from those sales.

I haven't followed any tipsters, but tbh I believe that there are very rare tipsters who are really good at sports bets and can share their tips to their followers to let them profit from it. However, as OP described, there is nobody called a perfect tipster, because if he'd be perfect and 100% or even 90% accurate in his bets, he would have been preached as a God instead of human. Making money alone is good, but helping others make money through our opinions is worst and we, the tipsters take that risk to help others to make money if we keep everything transparent and as this forum is not telegram, it's uneasy to hide anything here from anybody's eyes because we can see everything at ninjastic space if I'm not wrong.  Grin
I don't mind sharing tips as long as the person is having fun but when he is doing it to make side income then there is something wrong. For financial gain his mind will trick him and he will make wrong decisions as it's not costing him anything quickly [may be in the long run his reputation is costing though]. He even doesn't need to relay on winning his legs, he can make good money from the subscription fees. 

There are various contests in which tipsters compete publicly and as I already wrote some of them are really good and have a high percentage of wins - but this is not about fixed matches, but about sports events in which the outcome can be predicted based on the strength of the teams and their current form. But these are smaller odds of around 1.50 on average and if you want to earn something, you have to invest a little more money, which not everyone can do, so such offers are not very attractive.
A competition between them is fine but I am talking about those who are making it a profession to sell their subscriptions.
1329  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: May 01, 2023, 08:09:30 AM
Here is that bet though with over 22 odds https://stake.com/sports/home?iid=sport%3A79005138&modal=bet
Nice win. Instead of LTC if you would stake BTC then you could make a lot LOL but looking at the selection it was understandable that the risk was high. So overall you did good.

From now on I'm betting with 2.00+ odds if I win a freebet again. Although I personally think that the "average" comes in play only when many thousands of bets are made, I don't see the reason for not betting in a more favourable way than I was doing it before. It simply cannot do any harm, right? Smiley
2.00, 2.25 are some average odds and anyone can leverage it if they have good knowledge about the team and the recent trend of a league. But when it's about multi and picking up more teams add more risks. One mistake can ruin everything for you. I once was lucky to win a slip of 8 folds and stake was around £20. If I remember correctly then all were from a PL single round.
1330  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: April 30, 2023, 06:04:52 PM
Honestly, when Richarlison equalised, I wasn't even surprised. Don't think he even touched the ball, the bounce took everyone by surprise. My bet was on a half-time lead anyway so Liverpool ensured that, even with great difficulty... then Jota comes up with the goods a minute later.
It was not very clear but when he took off the shirt, I was sure that he touched it or he would not be so much confident.

I had 3 - 1 on the pool and until the 75th minutes it looked like everything was going well. No team seems to find the back of the net and it was not looking that anything is going to happen too but then suddenly Son surprised everyone and everything started to change.

At the end the match was exciting, filled with last moment drama. Richarlison thought he was going to be the hero for Tottenham but the mistake from the Tottenham defense surely stole 3 the points. Though we won, but I think it was fair to end by 3 - 3.
1331  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcointalk IPL Prediction Pool & Discussion 2023 on: April 30, 2023, 05:53:50 PM
I am also regularly choosing the team in this pool and my performance is around 50%. Some of the matches I predicted correctly while some go against my prediction. I am currently at number 4  on Leaderboard with 22 points.
Don't regret. There are people who are doing even worst than you.

No win so far from this round yet. If RR wins then I may have a point today. But looking at the trend, four loss out of four finished match and the way Mumbai Indian's are batting, I think I will not earn any point from this match too LOL

After a long time I am actually watching cricket. Watched Liverpool vs Tottenham and then changed the channel to watch IPL and it's hard to switch it off now.
1332  Economy / Gambling / Re: Can we trust 3rd party Slot providers? on: April 30, 2023, 05:47:39 PM
My question is.... can we trust these 3rd party Slot providers? Who are auditing their games and who are checking if the advertised RTP are being configured on their servers?

Let's discuss....  Huh
The whole casino industry is using third party slot providers except when some are becoming big then they are developing their own slots. For a starter casino developing in-house games / slots are too expensive and easier for relaying to others. I don't think the demand is not going down any time soon.

About trust and things? The gambling industry is doing business. A piece of software is easy to manipulate especially when it is not open source. So no matter if that is an in-house slot from a highly trusted casino or third party integration, you always have the chance to lose big money and become a victim of manipulation.

Few days ago I left a message to Rollbit Razer to check the other scam accusation thread.  Now this one added too. He seems not online since 20th. Let's wait for him to be online and address the issue.

Lately it seems another web of accusations against Rollbit if I can remember Rollbit was the casino who had a few accusations against them few months ago too.
1335  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: April 30, 2023, 10:06:48 AM
City is going to have an easy win against Fullham which means today will be the day, they are going to take the first place officially with having one more match in hand than Arsenal. This is where City is different from any other team. No matter how they start their season, what progress they have in the mid season, at the end of the season they figure out how to lead the league and have the title.

In the forest game, i really dont see the game, but come on Forest, you cant give up that win if you want to reamin in Premier League.
They still have four matches to play. Leicester and Everton have five each to go. Leeds have five more to go too. If we consider Southampton is already a gone and out of equation, it's understandable. But between Forest, Leicester, Everton and Leeds finding two is still a hard job.

since the tagging doesn't stop them from joining campaigns as we have managers that doesn't care about our community guidelines
I don't blame the managers. Truth is, there are no community guidelines and some of the DT members made negative tag so cheap that these days having one or two negative tag is in fact prestigious. An account without negative tag looks like an average account LOL

When it comes to fairness, Brainboss's offer is the perfect solution. Caught accounts, with proof that the account is not real with the owner, must be banned from wearing a signature, if not forever, then for any sufficient period so that the person can prove his interest in the forum.
Solution seems nice but implementing it means forum staffs need their involvement. It's not unknown to all of us that the forum authority do not moderate such things.

This reminds me a night from over 10 to 12 years ago. It was in a Tennis Tournament. I was betting in point market. Started with £200. From the afternoon to the next day morning. Gambled over 10 to 12 hours and made £1300+. Then I become greedy. Mind started tricking me. In the next 10 to 15 minutes I lost all and then went to a sound sleep LOL

The most dangerous part is, who are these people to constantly policing over everyone? Ban the signature feature, 95 or even more out of 100 of them will make one or two posts in a month or week. No offense for any specific signature campaign member from Chipmixer, those who used to make over 50 posts per week when Chipmixer was paying for up to 50 posts, how many of them now makes 50 posts?
Take a look at Active users and top posters on Bitcointalk.org in the past 7 days.
The page only gives history of latest 7 days. I am interested to see post per week before a date x and after the same date. Not much important though.

Be careful drawing conclusions from this: it looks like you have many local boards on ignore, which means you don't see all of his (first) posts.
This is another time of many where I fall into my own trap LOL
You are correct.

I see he started from his local board but it took him only two days to make his first post on scam accusation board and started giving positive input with good arguments. The same day after few hours he also posted on the project development board. In less than 5 days he started contributing on plagiarism finding arts like how to use archive and things.

It's been years for me in the community and still I don't think I was able to find an account which is plagiarizing unless it was discovered by another one and I was in the discussion. Finding plagiarism, arguing in scam accusation topic really needs some level of forum experience which was enough for him two gain in less than five/two days. I see he is a quick learner and we need more members like him to make this place better 😉.

Edit:  Am I seeing this right?  Brighton 6 - 0 vs Wolverhampton?
Yes and we saw similar type of high scoring two or more matches in the last round too. Today's first match between Palace vs West Ham had 7 goals all together. Too bad I was attempting to pick Palace but settled with West Ham to win unfortunately. 4 - 3, 6 - 1, 3 - 2, 4 - 2 or even 4 - 1 these type of results bring one point most of the time but you need to pick for the right side. It benefits in the slam point only.

In this round we have 13 matches and slam points will play a major role. So far everyone did fairly good job.
1340  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Sign/Verify Messages Important? on: April 29, 2023, 04:32:17 PM
There is one more question I want to ask is how important it is to sign a Bitcoin address message because from several sources that I have read so far Bitcoin is safe from hacking.

Thanks.
Signing a message is just like writing a message. It has nothing to do with the wallet security.
I assume you saw it on this forum where people are signing message to verify their bitcointalk account?

It's obvious that a bitcoin address private key will not be shared with anyone and signing a message with that particular address means you own the address. When you do something from an address that you own and when you do it from an account that means you are the owner of the account too. That's how we interpret it.
