Yeah Bills are doing well but I'm watching Texans beating Chargers, the most overrated NFL team.
In my opinion the Patriots are the most overrated team in the NFL. The Cardinals are getting my vote, for many of the same reasons you gave for your vote. I still think the Cards have a pretty solid defense, but not championship-without-an-offense level good. The Patriots defense, on the other hand, might actually be that good. The Vegas odds makers seem to be snorting the Belichick koolaid in powdered form:   I mean, who on earth thinks the Patriots are going to score 19 points, let alone out-score anyone by 19 points? I predict they'll win this game, but they might do it by scoring nothing more than a safety.
I haven't been a very active gambler this year, but this week of hanging out in my pajamas has made me a bit stir-crazy. Bellow are my "Safe Bets" for this week's multi (total odds 12.97.) Cincinnati Bengals @ Kansas City Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs (-3.5) 1.77 Tennessee Titans @ Miami Dolphins Tennessee Titans (-1.5) 1.61 Washington Football Team @ Philadelphia Eagles Philadelphia Eagles (ML) 1.56 Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cleveland Browns Cleveland Browns (ML) 1.56 Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings Green Bay Packers (-4.5) 1.70 |

I'm not accusing you of being bigoted, and I'm sorry if that's the impression you got. I guess my second comment only made matters worse, but again that was not my intent. If there's one common complaint against you it's that you see relatively circumstantial pieces of information as proof of some nefarious activities, and come to conclusions based on that circumstantial evidence. I've known you to perceive a variety of articles as evidence, and creed is not any more prevalent than others. In this particular situation it appears to me that the primary piece of evidence is that the Merit and Trust circles filter down to a specific nationality. But that's not enough. Merit and Trust circles form as a result of regional location, race, ethnicity, nationality, and culture on a regular basis around here. It's very common around the forum among the Russians, Germans, Italians, Filipinos, and probably more than any other, the Americans. I also want to add that I do appreciate the effort you've put into finding more about the two loan scammers. I don't want to come off as ungrateful. I would love nothing more than to prevent them from scamming again, and see them brought to justice. However, the attempt to link the three charity admins to those loan scammers is tenuous at best, and unhelpful. Continuing to discuss it here isn't adding value to this thread. |

I shake my head how it is possible that I could be last.  That would be quite ironic. Just three weeks ago you were still in the running for the playoffs. There's a good chance that both the league champion and the league's worst finishing team will have finished the regular season with the same record.
Also, Yahoo Sports’ storyline for the Cowboys going into the post season. The scariest playoff team in the NFL? It’s the Cowboys and their terrifying defense
Unlike past iterations of Dallas defenses that too often folded under the weight of injuries or the spotlight of expectations, something happened in Lawrence’s absence. The Cowboys were forced to be creative and young in spots. And suddenly it got a whole lot better. To the point that when Lawrence returned in December, Dallas went about dispatching three middle NFC teams (including the Washington Football Team twice) in a fashion that turned expectations upside down.Source https://sports.yahoo.com/the-scariest-playoff-team-in-the-nfl-its-the-dallas-cowboys-and-their-terrifying-defense-070442013.htmlI am not quite certain where they based this article, however, if based on passing defense, the Cowboys are 20th this season. It is only in their last 3 games that they are doing very good. However, this is because their last 3 games were against the Redskins, the Giants and another game vs. the Redskins. This type of bullshit starts saturating the air-waves every year around this time (it's actually a week late this year.)  It's just writers filling up space in their shitty rag with some random argument based on such-and-such player returning, or such-and-such player out for the remainder of the season... Most of the time these guys are guessing wrong, and in two weeks' time no will remember. |

Who watched the Jaguars and Jets game? A 100-yard kickoff return touchdown, a 300-pound OL touchdown following a Lawrence fumble, and a 50-yard rushing touchdown by Zack Wilson. Lol, i'm not making this up, it has to be the strangest first-half action i've ever seen... NFL Redzone updates, i did not watch the entire thing, i'm not crazy.  No coverage of that game in my local market, and I forgot to tune into RedZone. I'll try to make time to watch the YouTube highlights sometime today. I'm on PTO all week, but I've already spent most of the morning replying to work emails. I like pretending I'm that valuable of an employee. 
Yeah my team was brutal over the last 2 weeks. Worst 2 weeks of the year in points for me. That's how the ff cookie crumbles! Good luck to the finalists, moon corners it's all for bragging rights now! Lol
It ain't over 'till the phat lady sings. I still have the Saints' D/ST, and they could go -17 if they allow 6 TDs, 500 yards, and fumble a couple of punts. It could happen.
Anyway, I'm not sure if reaching the final means I'm winning or if I'm just being sacrificed to realm of utter embarrassment. But I'm not bitter, if by some miracle I win this thing beers are on me. |

The only similarity is the people's ethnicity/nationality.
Of which I made no mention.No, you didn't. But it does seem like the elephant in the room that no one wants to discuss. There are a lot of members here from the Philippines, and some might be alts of one another but I think it's unfair to link them all to the loan scammers whenever some ethical or moral questions come up. It could be that I got the wrong impression, and if that's the case please accept my apology. |

Seeing as crwth is keen to answer questions, here's one that's remained unanswered for a while:
~
Kind of disingenuous to bring that up. If you were paying attention I had asked that potentially identifying information (and therefore, potentially misidentifying information,) be sent to me in personal message, and not posted in public. And as crwth indicated, he did indeed share what he could. Not to mention, continued attempts to link this issue with the two loan scammers isn't really helpful and it's off-topic. The only similarity is the people's ethnicity/nationality. Other than that, I haven't seen any connection between these three individuals and the two scammers. |

I've decided to remove my support for crwth's flag, and I've deleted my red-tag. @crwth, thanks for providing the requested information, and I'm glad to hear you're feeling better.
There is nothing particularly wrong with the community asking questions, it's just that it's starting to sound a bit like digging up a trade of someone selling some trinket a year ago and now asking for a tracking number with signature confirmation. Let's be real, we won't get detailed receipts for every satoshi. Perhaps lowering those expectations and asking cabalism13 et al what is feasible to provide would be more productive, instead of facing them with an impossible task. You've made some good points, and bring up some good questions. One thing that occurred to me is that the administrators of the charity were all donating their time and putting in the effort to get things done. This is usually the way charities start, but at some point compensation for their effort should be considered. This also speaks to the other points you've made about expectations (or lack there of) placed on the administrators, and how they should be validated.
Just to be clear to those who are opposed to the tags and flags; as I've demonstrated above, they are not permanent. They do however, serve the purpose of demonstrating that there are concerns about how the donations are being spent. I'm not opposed to removing my tags and support of the flags for cabalism13 and bl4nkcode assuming they satisfactorily provide data or answers. |

Speaking of trash... Arizona  Two missed FGs, bad snaps, 3rd loss in a row. Looking a bit shabby at this point in the season. Yeah, isn't lovely? The one thing saving the 49ers' season right now is the "Implosion of the Arizona Cardinals." Coming soon to a stadium near you. Just kidding, really. Their offense is going through some trouble, but the scary thing is that they're still playing pretty decent defense. They helped me out by holding Jonathan Taylor to a mere 100 yards and no scores. None the less, the loss was a crowd pleaser at the Wolf Household last night.
How many picks is Baker throwing today?  dude is trash... I was playing the GB defense so I was happy with all of those picks, the match against Hueristic is very tight so I needed those points, it seems to me the match will be decided at the TB at Car game as Hueristic is playing three TB players, if Brady is inspired I am most likely losing this match, which means I need Cam Newton of all people to have a good game today.  Green Bay is starting to look like the powerhouse in the NFC. Their next two games are very winnable divisional matches. The first seed is theirs to lose.
 ~ Lol, you were looking pretty good staging your come-back there... Until that. |

Let me ask it a different way, maybe it's just bad English in the faq. Are you able to withdraw the 1 mBTC chips?
The website implies you cannot. "Instead of withdrawing small chip - we issue a voucher for that amount. You can redeem old voucher to merge two small chips into one bigger and withdraw big one." The smallest chip is 1 mBTC so this implies you cannot withdraw them but would need to combine them into a larger chip for withdraw.
Yes, you can withdraw 0.001BTC, but that's the smallest amount you can withdraw. If you send 0.0025BTC to your mixing address you will be able to withdraw one chip for 0.002BTC, or two chips for 0.001BTC. The 0.0005BTC will be donated. If you send 0.0019BTC, you will only be able to withdraw 0.001BTC. For additional privacy it's not recommended to send multiple transactions to the same mixing address. If you do however, you will not be able to combine the dust, it will be donated. For example sending one transaction for 0.0016, and another for 0.0014 to the same mixing address will allow you to withdraw 0.002BTC. |

Surprised no-one grabbed Jeff Wilson Jr. I blame San Frans O coordinator for that loss! Why the fuck wasn't kittle involved?  ? They just used him for blocking, Morons. Tennessee was a bad matchup for him. He was td dependent (which he did get). Not a big Wilson fan for ff, could get 1 point or 20 lol. And yeah saints are down to their 4th, I think Alvin Kamara will be there backup lol. I imagine if it came to be they would run every down and just play power football like the Pats did in buffalo. That was a sad loss last night, but the final play made it amusing anyway. I really need to stop taking it so hard that we don't have an elite QB, but I'm not sure that I can change my DNA in that fashion. Either way I’d love to join y’all next year.
You've already been selected, there's no getting out of it now. |

No, owlgames overpaid, but theymos mistakenly sent his refund to EZ0010. The "Copper Member" badge can be selected to display, or not display. IIRC the default is to not display it. |

Could you explain the context of the context your talking about in context?
In this context the concept of contests was mistakenly conceptualized. |

Honestly I don't even know how espn leagues work. It's a combination of 2 weeks? If that's the case next year we should change it to not have the last game of the year count for the finals. A lot of teams who have their seeding solidified in the last week rest their star players so they can heal up and not take a chance to get hurt. Is it a 2 week average?
And yeah you need like 4 rushing tds from Stafford tonight!
morvillz7z explained it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5224503.msg58650233#msg58650233It's a sum of points for two weeks (15-16) for the semifinal match, and the sum of weeks 17-18 for the final... yeah it's a bit of a gamble with the last two weeks but the way this season is going it's likely that we won't have many clinched teams resting their players. I wouldn't be against changing it next year though. I've never been in a 2 week average league for playoffs, it's kind of cool and eliminates the chance of "one bad week". But the last game we definately should avoid. If a team like kc locks up 1st place by the end of the year you can see mahomes maybe playing a half game, t hill our for the game, Kelly, etc so they get some extra rest. I'm down for whatever only a suggestion it has definately burned people in some past.leagues I was in. It confused me earlier in the year as well, which is probably why I thought all 8 of us would make it to the playoffs. That would have meant one elimination round, not two. I don't know how the ESPN leagues work either. If we have twelve teams next year, will we automatically have one elimination round in the playoffs? Does the league allow making changes like that? Will it allow us to have the final game on week 17? |

Maybe suchmoon requested to be blacklisted, won't be the first to get tired of the drama.
I noticed a several of months ago that suchmoon and I both got bumped from DT, then I got reinstated but he did not. The following month he was also left out. I did not ask, but I suspect you are correct that he requested to be removed from DT1 consideration. I also suspect he requested to be removed from the ranks of merit sources. Suchmoon hasn't been on DT1 longer than LoyceV, and my chance for this was less than 0.4% already.
I'm confused: You haven't been on DT1 since August, so I assumed you had requested to removed from consideration as well. Am I wrong? |

Is it necessary to verify Electrum when using a hardware wallets? YES!What are the consequences of using a compromised Electrum with hardware wallets? There have been malicious versions in the past that will send all your coins to the scammer's address. It creates a serupticious transaction that will remain invisible to you. You'll be under the impression that you're creating a typical transaction, then next thing you know, all your coins are gone. A hardware wallet will display the actual (malicious) transaction, but if you aren't paying close attention, and you approve the transaction on your hardware wallet you'll send all your money to the scammer. |

Enjoy getting crushed by Maddogs in the finals Wheelz is only 16 points behind me, and he's been known to pile on the hurt. I'm not holding my breath about reaching the final. But yeah. Nutildah. It seems unfair, I demand Nutildah get his ass back here and explain himself. That's going to be a difficult points spread to overcome.
Nice try, but nutildah seems to be sufficiently pissed at this shithole of a forum and will just quietly beat us up  Hey now! All forums are shitholes, but this one is our shithole. |

As for crwth I think he is clearly less at fault than the other two. If this were a trial for misappropriation of funds in a company, the most serious penalties would go to the boss (cabalism13) and the treasurer (bl4nkcode,) the employee would surely receive lesser penalty if he received any. Also I don't think we have strong evidence against him unlike the other two. In this case I will neither support nor oppose the flag and will stand by my neutral tag.
If this were a criminal trial (which obviously it's not,) then yes, I would be in agreement. But this is more like a civil suit where the proving liability, not guilt is the criteria. Which brings me to the part of your quote that I bolded: When someone is charged with handling other people's money (such as charitable contributions,) it's that person's responsibility to provide the evidence of where the money is going. Since crwth is guilty of not honoring that obligation, in my opinion that's enough for a tag and flag.
The other issue that's worth addressing; all three of these members are still on DT1. Source: LoyceV's Trust list viewer.Source: LoyceV's Trust list viewer.Source: LoyceV's Trust list viewer. |

Cowpersons We need a puke emoji.
Damnit, the Lambs just tied this thing up. I was enjoying watching the Seagulls beat on them a bit, and if the 'Gulls win, it gives the Niners a better chance at the 5th seed, of course they would have to win their remaining games, one of which is at Tennessee and another at the Lambs. The 5th seed likely means a trip to Dallas, which would be better than a trip to [assumptions]Tampa, Arizona,[/assumptions] or Green Bay.
I just checked out the Maddogs @ Coiners match. Every time Stafford throws the ball, earning Coiners some points, it's thrown to Kupp, which earns the Dogs twice as many points. It seems unfair, I demand Nutildah get his ass back here and explain himself. That's going to be a difficult points spread to overcome. |
