I think all complaints, regardless of whether or not there is sufficient evidence should be taken seriously by the casino itself, because thats their "customers" who are unhappy with whichever service or reason. Its really in the gambling casinos own interest to be concerned about helping their players feel comfortable because if they lose players, they will lose money. And even more if the players go on a rant online about how bad the casino is, and thus they will be damaging the reputation of the business and spooking away future customers, regardless of whether or not they have evidence for their claims.
Usually, but not all of course, many accusations are invalid at the end. Though it is a most common ending, I would not automatically call all accusations against a casino is invalid. Evidences must be compared from two sides and in some investigations, it needs to have mediator to investigate further and close a case.

Cloudbet has some accusations and if I am not wrong, it usually relates to their Terms of service about VPN and restricted area. Beyond that, they did not have problems with payment, withdrawal approval for their customers.

If I am not wrong again, cases I read in the past ended as people who came to complain, are cheaters (account farms, compromise with same bet pattern) on their casino.

Of course, it does not mean all new cases, new accusations will have a same ending. Investigation must be done case by case.

not been active on the forum for a long time, how could this be something normal? if you are robbed you will not be able to come and complain in this forum because it is not active
I agree that a casino should have a representative on the forum, if not the owner, should be another one, PR lead, whatever.

I guess the last active time is when Cloudbet came here to discuss about their latest signature campaign which was launched in April 2022.

I will like to ask the Men here if they have shared their seed phrase with their wife's? I will like to ask the women here how they will feel if their husbands refuse telling them their seed phrase?
My answer is it depends.

Depends on what?

  • How long have they been wife and husband of each other?
  • Because a first few years are the most challenging years and divorces usually happen in first few years especially first two ones

After spending a few years as a wife and a husband and nothing bad happens and especially if a couple have their children, it's a good time to think of sharing seed phrases of your wallets. It does not apply for all couples but if you feel you're happy with your soul mate and trust him or her, have a bond between you twos (your children), sharing it is very good.

Furthermore there’s already rumours of him announcing his exit, but these could also be the media trying to gain viewership from making clickbait titles hence I’ll be keenly watching their behaviour when they return on the pitch.
I am sure Mbappe will leave PSG in future. He perhaps will complete his newest three-year contract with PSG but after that he will likely to find another challenge.

It is not because he is not happy in PSG but more importantly because Ligue 1 is too small for him. He will have a bigger career if he plays in Premier League or La Liga. With his ability, I am certainly that he can play well in both leagues. A departure day of Mbappe will be seen sooner or later.

I really believe that even if Mbappe win Champions League and Ballon d'Or with PSG, he will still leave to other leagues. Mbappe will be another player like Ibrahimovic, Cristiano Ronaldo, not like Messi who spent most of his career in Barcelona and La Liga.

Kylian Mbappe was handed the biggest EVER contract for a sportsperson when he signed his new deal at PSG... and 'will earn a staggering £547m over the next three years', according to French media reports

It's not a bump, not an update but it is another point that explains why December usually is bad for cryptocurrency market.

Congress killed a landmark wildlife bill to preserve a massive crypto tax loophole

People can do wash sales in order to get a negative net figure for their taxation documents and avoid paying money for tax.

In other markets like stock, there are legislation about it but in cryptocurrency market, we have yet had a similar Act.

Quote
How the crypto wash-sale loophole works

To understand why the loophole is so egregious, consider this hypothetical we previously put forth:

Let’s say you bought one bitcoin for $40,000 at the beginning of this year. Maybe you watched the Super Bowl ads, and came away thinking fortune favors the brave. And it sure felt that way until mid-year, when bitcoin began falling sharply; it now trades around $17,000. But you think bitcoin still has a bright future, so you commit to maintaining the position long-term.

Here’s the totally legal tax move: Rather than just holding onto your bitcoin for dear life, you sell it at $17,000 and then immediately buy it back. You have realized a $23,000 loss, which can be used to offset other income and lower your taxes. And yet you haven’t lost anything at all, really: You still own one bitcoin, and you can enjoy any future gains from the investment. Meanwhile, you get to pay less in tax and invest the savings.

Take this chance to distribute your gifts to your loved ones but also use it to unofficially, indirectly educate them.

If I was you, I will sell all altcoins and buy Bitcoin as the only coin I am going to use for my gift distribution.
  • It is easier for your to choose a wallet which is easily for your distribution and for receivers to use
  • It indirectly helps them to avoid custodial wallets, exchange wallets and avoid risky exposure to altcoins, tokens.

If I choose Bitcoin, a wallet I choose will be Electrum wallet that is available for mobile.

1450  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is difference between Wrapped Bitcoin and Bitcoin? on: December 20, 2022, 02:39:48 PM
Wrapped Bitcoin is not Bitcoin on Bitcoin blockchain.

These wrapped ones are tokens on many chains that can be Ethereum chain, Binance Smart Chain, Solana chain and any other chains. These tokens are promised by their teams that they are backed by bitcoin with 1:1 rate.

Because, wrapped tokens have pegs, they can lose pegs (de-pegs) like stable coins de-peg (UST, TUSD etc.)

A beginner's guide to understanding wrapped tokens and wrapped Bitcoin
What’s Happening With Wrapped Bitcoin on Ethereum?

You will ask a question "Why were these wrapped tokens created?"
  • They were created to steal your bitcoins.
  • Rather than buying and holding bitcoins, you buy these tokens and use them on other blockchains. When they de-peg to zero, you have a wrapped token in hand and have no bitcoins.

I restored my entire hard drive image from a week-old backup to a new hard drive including wallet.dat (no activity during the week on wallet.dat).

If I now generate a new receiving address from the wallet and receive funds on that address

After all of this, I encrypted my wallet.dat.  Does encrypting change replace all addresses from the un-encrypted wallet with new addresses?
When you encrypt your wallet file, it is a hindrance to access of your wallet private key. It does not change anything inside that wallet, just block the access to wallet private key.

You can test it by
  • Using a same private key to import two different wallet files: one is encrypted and one is not encrypted.
  • Opening two wallet files, with passphrase and no passphrase, you will see same receiving addresses.

It's same when you use mnemonic seed on other wallets like Electrum.

Warning on Bitcoin Core when you encrypt your wallet
Quote
If you encrypt your wallet and lose your passphrase, you will LOSE ALL OF YOUR BITCOINS!

Are you sure you wish to encrypt your wallet?

Never use that old wallet again, and create a new wallet to receive your bitcoins from your old wallet.

A new wallet, not a new receiving address in your old wallet!

If you want to use Electrum wallet, you can Sweep your bitcoins from Bitcoin Core wallet into Electrum

Mbappe didn't feel so good at that moment but that must not be a problem if mbappe must have another chance again. i think that messi deserves it caused by he was also trying so hard to win from the france.
Mbappe is young enough to have a few more chances in World Cup but this failure in World Cup 2022 and the fantastic performance of Messi will probably help him to win the 8th Ballon d'Or. Please notice, 8th Ballon d'Or!

What Messi achieves with Ballon d'Or will never be repeated by anyone else. That's magic!

So this season can be another failed season of Mbappe with Ballon d'Or competition. He must wait for one more season to beat Messi and other players.

Drake placed one million dollar bet on Argentina and Roshtein placed one million dollar bet on France in the final match. Both of them have lost the bet as they placed it in 1×2 betting option. The match has ended as draw with 2-2 goals in the regular time. A lot of tweets have been made about the $1 million bet of Drake from different twitter accounts (sports related). I have also seen some articles about his bet. Thousands of new people have heard about Stake.com for this.
It was spread on media.

Rap superstar Drake places eye-watering $1m bet on Lionel Messi's Argentina to beat France in World Cup final.

It is crazy bet from rich guy and think of it on Stake.com perspective, it is good for them as a noisy news to spread the name of Stake.com casino more. It is a free advertisement for Stake if they did not sponsor Drake for that bet. Such stars have big followers and many of them will know about Stake.com casino a first time after this news and this final match.

Can't believe I lost everything I bet on Argentina because of Mbappe but you can't even really get angry at the way it turned out, everyone has to agree this is the best final of the 2000s.
I am young enough to not witness the final match of World Cup 1966 between England and West Germany (4 - 2) and Word Cup 1986 between Argentina and West Germany (3 - 2) but since World Cup 1998, this is the best final match in my opinion.

If we look farther in the past, World Cup 2022 final can be classified at a same magic level of two above final matches. In total goals were scored and in match courses.

Quote
I know of course memory will always replace the coming one but who can forget Mbappe hattrick and Messi magic?
Argentina would have won this final more easily if Otamendi did not play careless in a situation which caused a first goal for Mbappe. Before that mistake, Otamendi already did another mistake but it did not cause any goal for France. Not only Otamendi but some other Argentinian players likely were too much confident and turned to be more carelessly since 60th to 80th minutes.

A first goal for France is unavoidable with such carelessness and a second goal is a consequence of Argentina panic.

The substitution between Di Maria and Acuna has impact too. Scaloni wanted to send Acuna in to secure their defense but after that their players became more carelessly and over confident. At the same time, their attacking became weaker and could not create pressure on French defenders and midfielders.

Bitcoin can not be stopped but cryptocurrency exclusively shitcoins (altcoins) can be stopped. They can be stopped by their developers like Terra, Binance Smart Chain, Harmony etc. or by governments.

When you have a strongly decentralized network, it will hardly (or impossible) to stop it.
If you have a serious centralized network, it will be easily stopped by one person.

[2] Terra resumes blockchain production after halting to prevent hacks amid UST crash
[3] Harmony Shard 0 stopped working for 7 hours

Bitcoin transactions are irreversible but with altcoins, their developers can revert their blockchains. SMH  Undecided
1456  Other / Meta / Re: Most users just state their opinion on a topic rather than discuss it on: December 18, 2022, 09:57:37 AM
It's not for all cases but mostly, posters release their posts that way simply because they are in signature campaigns and they mainly mind about their post count.

Post quality, discussion context etc. are not things existing in their mind when they're composing their posts.


Two above topics please read have some valuable points for posters especially spammers who are ready to improve their posting style, posting quality and achieve something like: contributing more for the forum, forum community; ranking up for themselves; having better chances to join better campaigns and receiving better salary for their posts.

(4) Never mind of bounties, campaigns when you are noobs
Reasons:
- Campaigns are there, open then close, then others open and close, from time to time. You should never worry that you miss this chance, that chance, this campaign, that campaign, something like this.
It is the same as merits. Lots of users complain that merits are rare, I can not get merits due to it is rare. Nope, merits (more exactly, sMerits - sendable merits) are available, everywhere in the forum. There are so many merit sources, normal users, who have lots of sMerits readily to send out. They kept them partially due to quality posts are rare, not sMerits.
- Instead of paying too much attention, and time on hunting for bounties, especially bounties that have easy rules and joinable for low rank users; you should start learning, reading, and build up your accounts.
When you hit your finish lines, it's time for you to seriously think of joining bounties.

(6) Spend your time to improve your English, especially Reading and Writing skills
Reasons:
- If you can not read posts or topic in English well, can not get ideas of posts' / topics' authors, it means that you have nothing to do in the forum.
Remember that you have to get their ideas well enough to not misunderstand their core ideas.
- Next, after reading good enough to catch authors' ideas, it is time for you to express your own ideas in case you have something to ask for help, something to discuss, or something meaningful to help others. This is the time you need to have good enough Writing skill.
This is why I mentioned you should improve your English skills, step by step, from Reading to Writing. Of course, you can improve both skills simultaneously.
The forum is the place almost solely for discussions via Reading and Writing.
You can find available sources for English learning in the References at the end of this OP.

The two teams selected for the Qatar World Cup 2022 final match are Argentina vs France. These two teams are considered to be very strong and Argentina is currently the most likely of the two teams to win. But on the other hand France is a very strong team as we know they won the 2018 World Cup trophy.
snip
It is very difficult to say which team will be able to take the World Cup trophy in this World Cup but on the day of the final game it will be understood which team will give the best performance and win the trophy.
France is a first team after Argentina in World Cup 1986 and 1990 can have two final matches back-to-back. Mbappe will be a youngest player who has chance to win two World Cups back-to-back in history, after The King of Football, Pele.

To be honest, I am not a fan of Mbappe, France or Mess and Argentina but I love sexy football. So I'd like to see Messi lifts the World Cup trophy in coming hours. Mbappe already won World Cup and has many years to win another one but with Messi, it is his last opportunity.


Croatia and Morocco will begin the third-position match in a few minutes. It is a last match of Modric in World Cup. Will he complete his World Cup adventure with a copper medal?

Comparison with age Mbappe right now still 23 years old but he has excellent achievement with national team than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. I don't blame with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo won many trophies with their club and success get many individual award but you can't close your eyes between Ronaldo and Messi never have World Cup tittle in their football career.
Mbappe is talented and younger than Messi and Ronaldo. His career is only at beginning but careers of Messi and Ronaldo are coming to endings. Only a few seasons left for us to enjoy football of Messi and Ronaldo.

Many legendary players have never won Champions League or World Cup in their careers so it is not the end of world if Messi and Ronaldo ends their careers without World Cup title.

Quote
Surely Mbappe will reach and break all record achievement by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, he has more than 10 years later career in football and many individual award achievement later.
It depends on his body too. If you are old enough, you should know about Ronaldo Nazario de Lima, the Brazilian player. He is a phenomenon in global football before his career was damaged by his knee injuries.



The seven minutes that changed Ronaldo's career... and the history of football?

Don't forget about Bale, Eden Hazard, Kaka, all of their careers were affected negatively by injuries.
