Newbie account copy-pasting articles without stating the source. Mining Bitcoin 101, meves99: "it takes a strong computer to get Bitcoin"...
* There is a slight possibility source listed below has no original content and is instead comprised of stolen and paraphrased material.

user: meves99

Copy:

First, get a Bitcoin mining rig. This cryptocurrency is mined by a special device based on the same algorithm, this is usually called an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) chip.

This particular device is priced quite expensive but the mining process can be done quickly. Keep in mind that it is very difficult to get this particular device because the demand is very high.

At this stage, beginners who want to own Bitcoin by mining must also ensure the availability of electricity so that the mining process is not disrupted, and must have a large data storage device.

Second, have a Bitcoin wallet. This digital wallet will store Bitcoins that have been successfully obtained by mining. This digital wallet will also manage the source of the Bitcoin from where. Because, every Bitcoin has a secret code that comes from a unique combination of characters.

This digital wallet is also like an account card, which can later receive Bitcoin from someone by mentioning the secret code.

Third, cooperation with other miners. There are many big miners around the world and mining Bitcoin itself is not always profitable. Therefore, the solution for beginners who want to own Bitcoin is to work with other miners in multiple mining pools.

After successfully getting Bitcoin, it will usually be divided among members according to the power given. On this principle, members have to pay a fee of around 0% to 2% to the mining operator for every Bitcoin earned.

Fourth, have a mining program on the computer. Once you have a dedicated device, a digital wallet, and have joined or collaborated with other miners, it's time to mine a mining program on your computer.

This program will later connect you to the Blockchain and Bitcoin network. In general, there are many free programs that are used to mine Bitcoin. This program can be run on almost any operational system and each has its advantages and disadvantages.

The last or fifth principle of how to mine Bitcoin is to start mining. Once you have the previous four principles, you can start mining and earning Bitcoins.

Hawks surprised people again <....> We may see a longer series here, maybe that will go to game 7 too.

If Sixers don't figure out how to stop Trae Young rather soon, series won't go past 6 imo. This dude has been routinely getting 30 and 10 every other game, like it's nothing. Sixers are also one bad landing away from Embiid (who is playing through a small meniscus tear) for the series to be over.  Back in November, i predicted that the Hawks will make the playoffs, but the way they are playing, shit i won't be surprised if they make it to the confs finals at least.

The Julio Jones who would the Falcons trade him to saga appears to be over:

source: https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1401564030691647489
Quote
Sources: The #Falcons are trading All-Pro WR Julio Jones to the #Titans in exchange for at least a 2nd round pick. A blockbuster for Tennessee, who now gets the coveted big-play threat. And Atlanta ends up with very nice value.

Remember when the Falcons leaked that they were having multiple offers of 1st-round picks for him?  Grin  Second, or "at least a 2nd round pick" is what they have to settle with now...it seems fair to me though.

Imagine if the Titans had been able to keep Jonnu Smith, now that would've been a squad to not fuck around with. It's interesting to note that the Colts are still being favored and projected to win the AFC South despite the news of Jones' trade to Tennessee. I might take a chance on the Titans and go against Wentz...but can i trust Julio to stay healthy at 32 is the question, hmm?

I'm down for a fantasy league this year, count me in.

Okay I just looked up the match histories to see how likely o4.5 would hit and the last time it happened was at EURO 1984 where France 5-0'd Belgium.

A more recent one was Sweden (5) - (0) Bulgaria at EURO 2004.

I still think it's a no-brainer since there's a money-back guarantee if no one scores five, but looking at Round 3 matches: Finland vs. Belgium and Slovakia vs. Spain. Those two are my picks for blowout wins, especially if the favorites get a headstart and score an early goal or two, it absolutely can go the distance.

I'm not gonna lie, i like the Bucks as well, not just to cover the spread today, but also to win the game and the series.

I watched the last two games between these two at the end of the season, and while the Bucks won both, Harden did not play...so it's kinda hard to draw any conclusions out of that.

Bucks haven't played a game in over a week, i'm curious whether it will have any effect on them, sometimes when you haven't played in a long time, you come rusty and don't have the same rhythm/energy to start the game. If the Bucks are to steal a gm out of the first two, i believe it will be gm1. So i'm staying away from spreads and totals, i'm also not sure what to expect from my player props, as gm1s are often quite difficult to cap.

Connaughton 1+ 3pt; Durant 20+ pts; Middleton 1+ steal @1.89 lost

Giannis 25+ pts; Forbes 2+ 3pt; Harden 8+ assists @1.70 lost

Giannis dd; Harden dd; Brown 12+ PRA @1.78 lost

a healthy 0/3 for me lol, thanks to Harden pulling his hammy and bucks' starting lineup change.

^ Manually checked results from EURO 2016, not a single team went unbooked in group stages with Spain leading the pack with just one:

Spain - 1 yellow card (Ramos)
Wales - 2 yellow cards
England - 2 yellow cards
Russia - 2 yellow cards
Portugal - 2 yellow cards

Stupid question but can we take the same promo twice, will it count? I know that outright bets only the first bet qualifies not sure with this one. I kinda want to put a bigger stake here...dammit  Grin

This is by far the weirdest first-round series in recent memory, with both teams failing to win at home.

I'm rooting for the Mavericks to advance, but i'm not convinced they can do it today after going -35 points in their previous two home games. lol

That's why i'm sticking with my trusty player props, a 3/5 split would be nice. My bets are focused around Doncic, Kawhi, and PG13, but i also need decent performances from Mavs' role players, Hardaway Jr. and Finney-Smith:

How is everybody doing, and more importantly how is your bankroll in these trying times aka pre-EURO/COPA friendlies and whatnot?

I can't believe my 3-legged monster odds parlay on Estonia, North Macedonia and Kosovo hit... Grin



Here's my late bet on Italy vs. Czech Republic: I went with Italy's total goals, as i'm pleased to see both Berardi and Locatelli in the starting lineup (that Sassuolo connection ftw)...and from what i've seen Czechs don't play defensive football, they won't park the bus or anything like that, it should be an open match with goals, at least 3?!  Roll Eyes Tongue

I've no read on both games today but as a basketball fan i want as many gm 7s as we can get, because who doesn't?  Smiley

Portland is a lot likely to force a gm 7 than the chances Lakers have, but crazier things have happened in the past, given how the last game went out and the beatdown the Lakers had. If they come up with the same effort they had in gm5, it's "1, 2, 3 Cancun". lol

Anyway, i've prep'd a couple of props, though i'm not fully invested in them. Each of the lines below has happened in each of the first 5 gms*, so if it's a bust...it's not my fault heh   Gl, everyone!

Blazers O107.5; Covington 5+ rebs; CJ 15+ pts; Nurkic 20+ PRA @1.60 won

Morris 15+ PRA; Rivers 1+ 3pt; Jokic 1+ 3pt; Gordon 4+ rebs @1.75 won

* overlooked Covington total rebounds from gm2, he only had 1 in that gm

I'm sure everyone who isn't a Nets or Bucks fan is disappointed to hear about Embiid's meniscus tear. Not the most serious injury, but if not 100% right and he tries to play through it...it can progress to far more serious one, like MCL and ACL tears, which may be career-ending for big dudes like him...and i thought the 76ers would win the East this year, guess not anymore.

Westbrook Triple double; O214.5 @1.62 lost

I believe 76ers will start D. Howard but will run mostly small lineups tonight and play at a faster pace, Westbrook should be able to grab tons of rebs and get his assists without much problems. I see the series end today, so one last chance for a triple double.

Beal 30+ PRA; Harris O6.5 rebs; Simmons O6.5 rebs @1.67 won

With Embiid only playing 11 minutes in gm4, Harris and Simmons both recorded double-digit rebounds, i expect something similar tonight, they should be able to step up and carry the team with their best player sitting out. Beal, on the other hand, should be able to get the 30 points+rebs+assist inside three quarters imo.

Knicks +4.5; Randle 9+rebs; Randle 15+ pts @1.92 lost

Even though i have the Knicks with the plus points and Randle with min spreads here, i expect Knicks to outright win and Randle to have a breakout game. I called a gm7, so i need the Knicks to come out of their shell play the way they've been playing all season long. The MSG crowd gonna be special...can't wait!

Some very unexpected news coming from Boston:

source: https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1400094456129507335
Quote
Boston head coach Brad Stevens is planning to transition from his current role into becoming the new head of basketball ops. of the Celtics,

Danny Ainge plans to resign from his role as Celtics President, sources said.

Ainge stepping down after almost 20 years as head of basketball ops in Boston and Brad Stevens succeeding him with zero experience as a gm must be a shock to all Celtics fans.

From what i'm reading, Jason Kidd's name has been mentioned as a possible candidate for their now-vacant head coaching job.

Let see if how Simon and Embiid will dictate the fate of Wizard

I lost so hard on that one, no offense but you should practice some basic proofreading before you hit the post button; "Simon" who? Simon and Garfunkel, the unstoppable Sixers duo.  Cheesy

Let's not over-complicate things, i'm sticking with the same bet i've been taking since the start of the series: Over; Harris' total; Sixers alt spreadL; even if it loses, i'll be 3-1 on the series, Sixers have been consistently putting 120 or more, last game before Wizards players head off to their preferred vacation destinations, so hope they keep it somewhat close at least until the start of the third quarter.

Elsewhere, Clippers have been cashing out tickets for me lately: https://i.ibb.co/c80kp1V/sfyjjnjn.png

Knicks are pretty much done at this point, Hawks up 3-1!

I don't understand one thing though, why Thibs had to change his starting lineup for game3,  i mean who makes adjustments after a win?

He brought in Rose and Gibson for games 3 and 4, which clearly messed up all of their rotations and the way they've been playing all season.

Knicks had one significant advantage over Atlanta that was their bench production...anyway, series are over, can't see them NYK boys win 4 straight. At least my prop hit.

Belgium, Spain and Portugal are sure thing for me but I don't believe in Italy and England.

Let me start off by saying that i am not a fan of matches being scattered across Europe with 11 cities/countries serving as hosts. Teams like Italy will play all of their group-stage matches at home, whereas their opponents will have to travel from Azerbaijan to Rome, what the heck is that, how is that not an advantage, right? I know Turkey is leading their World Cup qualifiers group, they had an impressive win over the Dutch, they have decent players (some of whom play in Serie A), but i can't see them doing much more than scoring a goal in the opener. I see the Azzurri going 3/3 in their group without much hassle. My point, add Italy to the sure thing list, at least i will. Smiley

I'm instead taking Jazz ML + 76ers ML.

Looks good to me! GL!  Wink

Jazz played a much better basketball with Mitchell back in gm2, and while the Grizzlies could still make it tough, i just don't see them winning today.

76ers/Wiz is the biggest mismatch of the first round and Westbrook playing on one leg isn't helping, anything less than a 4-0 sweep would be a major upset imo.

In fact, 76ers are where i'm putting my money at. Have them in a parlayW with Portland (who just beat Denver), -2.5 FHW spread, and a propW that won in game 2.

Congrats to both of you ^, i also had Brentford, but only to qualify did not want to take any chances after what happened last year.

I had to boost the total odds a bit by backing Akropolis, a bottom-of-the-table Swedish Superettan team to score one, and they did win 1-0.

With only a handful of matches to choose from, one has to improvise, right?  Cheesy
