Sinner was not able to close the match and Rune has been able to win... each time this player is strongly unpredictable at least to me Grin

well in the second and third set the danish player was playing again at high level and not like the first set where he was a "ghost" with a lot of unforced errors.
Sinner has been able to recover a break point but against player of this rank he need more for a win... lets see an interesting final between Rublev and Rune!

Daily Bump! Thanks for all your comments and questions.

@Iced
This type of objects have their own niche of interest among collectors.
Thematic collections of "cinderella" with a hundred pieces can easily exceed 3000 euros (for example, aviation,politics or industry theme).
I have sold recently a collection and there was interest for the same item from multiple countries/buyers.

@krogothmanhattan @Iced
Stamps are perforated with method "blocks" at 13 1/2. No variety has been identified/errors during this process of production. 

@Kryptowerk
"Cinderella stamps" could not be used as regular stamp... but can be used in addiction to regular stamps!  I will (probably) use one sheet to create some "postal history" cover.

Now live Sinner vs Rune.
Sinner starts as a favorite at 1.50 and in the first set he was really strong, managing to impose his tennis very easily with a sound 6-1. The result says clearly about what happened.... second set how will it end?

what is the difference between the "Mini Sheet" and the "Mini Sheet Essays" (except for the vertical text on the right side)

Are both on Fabriano paper with the exact same dimensions? Are they "notched and gummed like a classic postage stamp" -on the backside- ?

Yes is correct, "mini sheet essays" have no value on the right side and are numbered/named on the back. Both have same specific, unperforated, without gum and Fabriano paper.

THE ART ON "CINDERELLA"
ArtiKanDo Collection

Quote

Project
It was the 19th April of 2022 and Artikando had presented its first bitcoin-themed artistic work.
After a year, his second idea... arrives to public!
This time there is a "special stamp" ... a Cinderella! Grin (also known as "back of the book stamps", or erinnophile).

Obviously they can be used as a stamp... in addition to the price that would be paid for a shipment, or as a "back of the book for closing a letter" Grin

In short, this a limited edition collectible (20 sheets produced - 2 already reserved by authors).
Each sheet is notched and gummed like a classic postage stamp.
The proofs were prepared on card stock or A4 paper. No Gum.
The mini sheets were printed on Fabriano paper (weight greater than A4).

What authors says?
Cryptoverse is for obvious reasons the achievement of Astrobit's beloved crypto realm.
The jump and moonwalk is where the "astronaut" takes action!
He starts to dance, "jumps because  is happy". Here in this moment he discovers the real potential of these innovations (obviously "B" is at the center, just look at the details Wink )
Even for this work, all the drawings you will see are original and created by Artikando with a BIC pen. Yes, just a pen and fantasy! Even though this is a sales topic, we gladly accept criticism and/or advice to continuously improve ourselves!

1728  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can this be effective against the increasing numbers of gamblers? on: April 14, 2023, 07:17:46 PM
well, amount of gamblers is not an issue. this is enough to avoid pathological people to join? I don't think ....
Also because gambling in itself is not dangerous it is simply an activity like many others.
I believe that the "real problem" arises when people at risk of addiction start to bet like minors or people who cannot understand the danger of risk higher amount of cash.
1729  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Doge worth investing? on: April 14, 2023, 06:48:35 PM
in the past I've had a fair amount of dogecoin.. but in the end, in addition to the hype, what does a coin like this add that is "practical"? ok great meme, sponsored by the richest person in the world (!) and then what? What does it bring from a technological point of view?
could it be replaced by another "meme" currency or maybe sponsored by another celebrity? Roll Eyes
the design of a similar currency that is NOT deflationary by design/without a max supply… what impact will it have in the long run?
In short, before investing, I would ask myself a lot of questions and do a lot of research Wink
1730  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: cashout money on: April 14, 2023, 06:33:18 PM
what is the site @ps34? and exactly what is the "issue"?
pay attention because a frozen account... is frozen and there is a reason for this. and probably for restoring ... some info are required (and if you are not the original owner, it could be something trouble to unlock...)
plus, if a casino notice a new IP /location etc etc could requires some details about original owner...
1731  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: April 14, 2023, 06:27:01 PM
Sinner has won really easy against Musetti. Probably Musetti was "tired" from the last match against Djokovic (?) but Sinner is actually in a good shape. Against Rune it would be interesting a match... both players are "the future" of this sport Roll Eyes
1732  Economy / Gambling / Re: Limbo and Dice Simulator on: April 14, 2023, 06:15:57 PM
a tool like this, has a clear educational and statistical purpose because it helps to visualize in a practical way "what to expect from a long series of plays". (due RTP more you play ...more you lose Grin
I'm curious to know... in this type of tool, how is "randomness" generated in this type of calculation?

please and thank you!
1734  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: April 13, 2023, 07:23:43 PM
thanks for the advice.
I would also add:
- to check the RTP (reward to player) when provided and
- if possible check the current RTP (how much was paid in the last day or week).
but above all.. an almost fundamental aspect, reading up on the statistics and mathematics of slots helps (a lot) to understand the mechanism of this type of game and understand the real chance of win.
1735  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: If I have $40,000 to invest in one #cryptocurrency. on: April 13, 2023, 06:14:29 PM
I will point out in bitcoin around 90-95% of total, maybe a small percentage (1 digit) in ETH or coins that allow staking.


maybe it's too late but it could worth a try also allocate a small % in BGL (Bitgesell).
This coin has some positive aspects (see coin specification and implementation).
https://bgl.bitaps.com/

I have not sold my coins (received from some initiative here on forum).

In less then 7 days there is the halving (!) but actually the price has doubled from the ATH (it was around 12 cents now valuation is around 24 cents).

Negative points... low hashrate allocated (that change very frequently), so it means risk of double expense, etc etc ... but probably it could be something that can be mitigated in long term.

implementato l'upgrade shangai+capella (abbreviato in shapella)
qui di seguito potete leggere maggiori dettagli su questo evento ma in generale sono uscite diverse pubblicazioni sull'argomento.
https://it.cointelegraph.com/news/ethereum-shapella-upgrade-community-celebrates-as-update-goes-live-on-mainnet
Il prezzo non è crollato, anzi si è registrato un leggero rialzo (3% circa). Sembra che gli utenti non abbiano interrotto in maniera massiva lo staking ma anzi abbiano lasciato tutto invariato.

Il prezzo sul lungo tenderà a 0? non lo so non penso proprio, almeno per il momento è davvero difficile da predire ed almeno in questo frangente è chiaro che vi è un interesse "main stream" a sponsorizzare questa "blockchain centralizzata a zero emissioni con proof of stake"... Roll Eyes

As reported before you can earn a small amount by running a lightning node.

Please find here a detailed guide made by cointelegraph.

I have not tried before this procedure and I don't know if it's worth so much effort/expense....however it's a nice hobby experiment to be conducted.

Sinner has won the match against Hurkacz. The first set was win by the polish player but lately there was not match (at least on third set with a strong win of 6-1 !)
About Italians player, the former winner of Wimbledon, Berrettini again out of the game! It seems that he was injured and he has left the tournament Sad Terrible year for the player Sad
1739  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are lotteries really a good way to engage with gamblers? on: April 11, 2023, 06:34:40 PM
the lotteries that I have seen on gambling sites are really difficult to win because they involve a very large number of tickets / participants ... very complex or very expensive activities to participate in ...
even if I receive free tickets from my gambling activity, I never have an interest in verifying ...
the real odds of winning are so low Roll Eyes
I have not idea about changes that can be implemented, mostly because I have not so much interest in this kind of gambling.
Based on the gambling activity gamblers were allotted with tickets. These tickets were shuffled and the winners were chosen. Single whale gambler used to have hundreds and thousands of tickets as most of the platforms issue tickets for every $1000 wagered.

I prefer to join on lotteries that are conducted with limited participants. Some have been conducted on our forum with limited slots of 30 members. Each were allocated with the number between 1 and 30. Gamblers are allowed to pick number based on first come first served basis. I'm interested in such kind of lotteries than the regular ones.

I stopped any interest in these lotteries when I saw on a site some users who had bought/received more tickets than the final prize.
example, they had spent 2000 USD when the prize was ... 1000 USD!
maybe it was an user making some mistakes? I don't have the answer Smiley but always the main rule not change...dont trust, verify!
