Confirmed, the universe hates me!
Could be, but you're not alone, the universe felt the same way about me in Vegas. Vegas is the universe's way of reminding us of how insignificant we actually are. I've only made one bet in Vegas on sports and it was for the Pats to beat the Raiders about 10 years ago and ended up having to mail the stub in to get paid. I was surprised I couldn't get paid in a sports book in Reno from a vegas sports book. I wonder if that has changed? Do you mean the same casino in Reno wouldn't honor their ticket from Vegas? That's weird. I don't know if that's changed, the last time I gambled in a casino was 2001 during my brother's Vegas bachelor party. I've only been to Vegas three times since, but strictly for the Shot Show. Not a single penny was wagered. There was no time, it took me 45 minutes to find the exit every time I wanted leave the hotel. |

I heard its great if you have ADHD and enjoy consuming football like its crack. You say that like it's a bad thing.

Redzone is the greatest thing to ever happen to not only football and NFL Sundays but ever lol. Seriously though if any of you do not have Redzone or have never seen it before, trust Wheelz and I, you need to get it! It really is the best piece of TV coverage for sports out there. It's relatively cheap too. I think with my YouTube TV package I'm paying something like $12/mo for it which it is part of a sports package where I get other channels as well.
YouTubeTV is the service I use. It's packed with sports channels already, probably more than any other service available in the US. What I find is a welcome surprise is the amount of soccer provided with the standard package, which is unheard of in TV services of US past. |

I'm sorry for being a dunce, but I was born that way and have been trying to rectify it ever since.
What is an "Electrum Node" and how do I get one?
This is the kind of report that makes conspiracy theories flourish: Block explorers as honeypots; wallet clients as possible honeypots; SPV servers as possible honeypots. Bitcoin does offer some level of privacy, but I don't believe that was highly prioritized function of the concept. Even if it was, governments and their taxing agencies will think of it as a war to be waged. The more financial privacy we have the less secure they're grasp on power. Any efforts we make to bolster our privacy will only lead to more of their resources being spent on thwarting those efforts. It's a war that will likely never end.
This discussion has made me a bit uneasy about my privacy, would someone be so kind as to grade the privacy of my set up:
I have an Ubuntu server running a full Bitcoin Core node and ElectrumX server. Both core and electrumx are connected through clear-net and tor, and open to the world. I connect all my electrum clients to my own server. How secure and private is this configuration?
One of the important things I've learned from this thread is that I'm still being somewhat insecure by using third party blockchain explorers, and I have not been using VPN or tor when doing so. I'll have to fix those habits, but also, I think I'll learn about mempool.space and possibly set it up on a VPS.

When in doubt: use Neutral. I agree with this. In your opinion should the negative tag remain or should I replace it with a neutral? If you have to ask, I assume you're not absolutely sure, so it shouln't be negative. It's also wise to ask yourself before leaving feedback: "Does my feedback make Bitcointalk a better place? And if it's negative: is it worth destroying someone's account and reputation over this?". Consider using Neutral feedback if neither Positive nor Negative is justified. I seem to recall a discussion about this very topic when Yobit came back from their ban and hired a bunch of spammers to advertise their 10x promotion scam. If I recall correctly the general consensus was that it was uncool to red-tag participants in the signature campaign. I don't know what changed, 1xbit is no more or less a scam than Yobit. Neither outfit has been able to attract quality participants, only sleepy alts and shitposters have applied. The managers of the campaigns don't seem to care if their signature is worn by red-tagged accounts, so there're no repercussions for the participants other than the tag itself, and most probably don't care since their using nearly worthless accounts that wouldn't qualify for any other signature campaigns anyway. All this business of tagging participant of the 1xbit campaign seems like a grasp at straws to me. I get it, I'm tired of all the scams here also and if the forum refuses to ban scammers or their advertising campaigns, this seems like the only recourse we have. But is it affective, or only leading to more drama? Maybe someone can enlighten me? |

the universe just fucking hates me!
Stick with that.  SouthPark has a serious Love Hate relationship with Derick Car!
Numbers don't lie but stats can be deceiving! I love this one quote that I don't remember who wrote, or exactly how it goes, but to paraphrase: Derek Carr is the most accurate quarterback in the league at passing a check-down for 5 yards or less on 3rd and 8.
One thing about fantasy football that I learned early on was to never play with your heart but only your head.
True, its just annoying because it usually means my players are scattered among several different teams, some of which I would otherwise have absolutely no interest in. Ultimately, its one of the good things about FF tho because it forces me to learn about other teams. Every bit of extra knowledge can help when it comes to placing bets I've learned. Don't know if you all have access but the red zone channel and fantasy football is like heaven on Sundays. Definately watch the giants when they are on but when they are not it's red zone action which usually I have one or a couple ff players playing in each shot. Football Sunday is great. I've tried, but it's too disjointed for me. I've never thought about from FF perspective, maybe I'll give it another shot. Confirmed, the universe hates me!
Daaaaamn, that's a big blow. Sorry for your loss, brother. I heard it's just a hamstring, so hopefully he'll be back next week. |

The only other option I have is Cordarrelle Patterson, who I just picked up on waiver.
I picked up Patterson as well on my other team and I'm gonna plug him in for Gordon this week. I think I like to gamble too much!I'm trying to find a way to put him my lineup this week, he's up against the Giants' D so he should have a good game. |

In retrospect I think you should have gone with your gut.  Make sure to advise DireWolfM14 to keep Rodgers on the bench this week  I'm tempted to bench Aaron Jones. I would hate to win my fantasy game at the expense of watching my Niners lose. Niners D is solid This is definitely the week to bench Jones. Lol, I'm truly torn over it. On one hand I do expect the 9ers to shutdown the run game early on, forcing the pass game. But on the other hand; last week Jones' production was mostly check-down receptions, three of them for TDs. Rodgers will always have 33 as the outlet if there are no downfield options. I don't expect production like last week (at least I hope not,) but if he meets his projections I'll be happy. The only other option I have is Cordarrelle Patterson, who I just picked up on waiver. The 9ers have a way of getting into Rodgers' head, he hasn't had a lot of success in San Francisco. We'll see, how he does tomorrow, but I think I'll stick with Allen for one more week before I decide to trade him for Daniel Jones...  Foiled by Hueristic once again! |

I don't doubt that the address in question (366PvEGTjf1UKWCjZGiPHPyqpFUuNJp9to) belongs to someone other than colires/vereole.
I do. Everything this colires guy says is a lie. This is like the 7th time he's been accused of scamming somebody on the forum under that account. Why wouldn't his new story also be a lie? Maybe I just can't (or don't want to) believe that he scammed 19 bitcoins in the last ten months.  Regardless, there's little doubt that colires poses a trading risk by this point.
Can't argue with that. There have been far too many scam accusations against him to brush them all off as retaliation as he's often claimed. The trouble for me has always been that his accusers haven't elicited much of my sympathy. This particular segment of this market is full of fraudsters, spammers, and scammers on both sides of the transactions. Case closed.
Until he shows up with the next alt account. |

I'm not doubting your story, just commenting that it's a weird way of doing business.
<snip>
Far too many coincidences to ignore, in my opinion.
Eh? So which is it, my man? I don't doubt that the address in question (366PvEGTjf1UKWCjZGiPHPyqpFUuNJp9to) belongs to someone other than colires/vereole. I am, however doubting the excuses and claims that they are not the same person. Too many consciences to disregard, including the fact that they used the same "exchanger" who allegedly owns that address.
ETA: Keep in mind that colires is doing "business" here (selling AWS, PayPal, exchange accounts etc) in a way that you can't really do with your real identity.
Indeed. On vereole's Telegram group he listed an offer to sell "PayPal funds at %50 off." This was right after a series of posts complaining about PayPal freezing his funds. My suspicion is that he's selling the actual account with the locked funds, so that the buyer has the burden of unlocking the funds. He's also been known to sell PayPal accounts here on the forum. There's no way to produce multiple paypal accounts using the same identification (unless it's a legitimate, documented business account) so there's obviously something nefarious going on. If nothing else the TOS of paypal are being violated by opening multiple accounts, and I highly doubt it's that innocuous. The accounts are most likely hacked, or created using stolen identification. Best case scenario; some scammer in Nigeria is creating these accounts with Nigerian identification documents purchased from his neighbors for a nickel. The same goes for AWS accounts, Revolute Banking accounts, and almost any other account that these shysters are slinging. |

Don't misinterpret this as me defending colires; he's dealing in digital property that's either stolen or hacked. How can you trust people who do that? Why do you think I refused?
Not a single one of my accounts are either stolen or hacked. Okay, maybe the more accurate way to describing it is to say that you're selling accounts that were made using stolen, forged, or coerced identification documents. I wonder how many of those accounts were made using the IDs of Nigerians who've never owned a computer in their life... So now is the problem that exchanger does not change his deposit address?
That's pretty weird, actually. If he has multiple exchanges going on at the same time, it would make it difficult to keep track of who's money is who's. When I first saw the screen shot I thought that maybe it was some automated Telegram bot doing the exchanges, which would make it even weirder that only one address is used. I'm not doubting your story, just commenting that it's a weird way of doing business. Whether the address belongs to you or not has become somewhat irrelevant. It does seem overwhelmingly coincidental that you and vereol have the same phone, use the same wireless network, use the same "exchanger," speak the same language, live in the same country, and redact images the same way. Far too many coincidences to ignore, in my opinion. |

Are you the nutjob that pestered me to provide escrow for a trade with colires a few days ago? It must have been you, I recognize you as the same entitled asshole who can't take no for an answer. I don't believe you that you got scammed by not saving the codes in time. Smacks of bullshit to me. Don't misinterpret this as me defending colires; he's dealing in digital property that's either stolen or hacked. How can you trust people who do that? Why do you think I refused?
I do believe nutildah, however. The blockchain doesn't lie. Good job making the connection. |

Aaron Jones needs to run the whole length of the field and score a touchdown.... ~5 times. Which is not impossible, they're playing the Lions  Well, he got 4 TDs, but fell far short of the yardage I needed. What a bastard!
Are you guys watching the game with Payton and Eli? It's different, that's for sure, but I think I like it.
Yeah the eli/peyton broadcast is much better. It's a way better experience watching the games like that than watching the regular format with 2 announcers. It's like hanging out with your friends talking about the game as it's going on but with 2 people that know the ins and outs of every play and situation. Definately watching the rest of the season like this espn nailed it. Yeah, that was fun. I agree, it was like watching the game with some very knowledgeable friends. I didn't miss the play by play broadcasts, the Mannings would talk about formations and coverages, and break down the defensive successes and breakdowns. Bret Favre was an awesome addition, I've always liked that guy and his presence brought up some fun stories. Can you believe Eli snuck into a bar at age 17? What a hoodlum. I would have never done anything of that sort... (that's what I tell my kids, anyway.) 
Who are 49ers fielding against Green Bay on Sunday, do they even have healthy RBs left on their roster? source: https://twitter.com/joshdubowap/status/1440043482182139911#49ers RB news from Kyle Shanahan: Jamycal Hasty is out for a while w/ an ankle injury, Elijah Mitchell is day to day with shoulder injury and Trey Sermon is in concussion protocol They lost Mostert to a season-ending surgery following week 1 injury, i mean who do they have, Trenton Cannon? Ravens signed all the serviceable RB free agents that were still available. Fuck, maybe go with Deebo Samuel for a week, dude is built like a running back. I expect Elijah Mitchell to play this weekend, but yeah, that's a common theme for the Niners. We usually employ smaller, stout running backs, and plenty of them. One of the reasons they tend to not be as durable as the bigger guys on other teams. I was bummed to see Mostert go out for the season, but honestly I wasn't surprised. |

I still have Aaron Jones left to play tonight, but somehow I'm doubting he'll score 67 points. Anyway, I'm accepting my loss this week, congrats to suchmoon on a decisive victory.
Funny you should say that, I did some math yesterday and if I was right (kinda doubtful, math rarely works after 3rd beer) then Aaron Jones needs to run the whole length of the field and score a touchdown.... ~5 times. Which is not impossible, they're playing the Lions But yeah it's a bit of a long shot. Unfortunately for me, my beginner's luck won't be there when I'll need it, e.g. week 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 LOL. All of my players - except maybe Kittle - happened to have a great week but I can't rely on Bills D/ST bringing in 19 points every time. Yep he just needs like a 400 yard rushing game with like 5 tds lol. Watch he goes off for 200 yards and 3 tds though against the lions. This is going to be a high scoring game I think. I just need swift to not rack up crazy points. Shoulda, coulda, woulda started the Pat's D, and now it's looking I should have started Rodgers also. Deep down inside I knew he would have a good game tonight, and it was probably worth taking a risk on him over Josh Allen. Of course I also expected the Bills to trounce the 'Fins, but who knew it would be that type of trouncing? First quarter Aaron Jones already has 30 yards rushing and a receiving touchdown. That's why you never sit him. He will have a bad game and all every once in a while but he is a legitimate top 10 ff player.
Yeah, he's on pace to give me the points. If only every drive can go like that, I'll have a chance.

Dolphins OL is sucking so badly today... I'm cringing even though it's making me a shitload of points.
It would have been nice to see it translate to receiver and QB stats as well, but no such luck for my team.  What a fucked up week for my team. The Steelers' D was just abysmal and cost me -1 point, my top receivers had a pedestrian day. You know you're fucked when your QB only scores 3 point more that your kicker, who outscored everyone else on your team. I still have Aaron Jones left to play tonight, but somehow I'm doubting he'll score 67 points. Anyway, I'm accepting my loss this week, congrats to suchmoon on a decisive victory. At least I won my bet from last nights game; multibet with the Ravens to cover (+3.5,) the Chiefs over 23.5, and Mahomes to throw 2+ touchdowns. 4.21 to 1 odds; BOOM! |

Greenbay was a massive shock to everyone this week and to me it looked like Rogers was timid and afraid and had no faith in his O-Line. Maybe his antics are coming back to bite him in the ass and his boys are truly pissed off at him. I think it might be dangerous to play GB players this week even though their opponent should be a cake walk.
I think that surprised everyone. I had Rodgers on the bench for that game, but I started Aaron Jones and he didn't do much either. I'm not going to dump either of them, in fact I think I'll keep Jones on my roster for the Detroit match. I hope he does better this week. As for Rodgers, I'll give him one or two more weeks to see if he gets in the NFL mindset before making my decision. Well week one is in the books and I don't know about you guys but me and Suchmoon had a real close game that came down to Monday night. He Had ravens QB and Raiders RB and I had Ravens D and a 35 or so point lead with which Lamar can cover easily alone so I was a bit worried and rightfully so!
It was quite exciting indeed. I was worried about Jacobs being questionable before the game but he delivered big time, limping and all. What pisses me off is that ESPN put me in 7th position on the wire, which basically means I can't get the players I want... even though my team is like 3rd worst in the league. It was almost as fun watching your two teams as it was watching the game on Monday night. That was cool, and it did come down to the wire. It was looking like Lamar was going to keep suchmoon in the lurch, but he did just enough. |

GUI- bitcoin-core/gui#4 UI external signer support (e.g. hardware wallet) (Sjors)
Taproot, schmaproot, this is what I'm most excited about. Just kidding, of course taproot is obviously a big improvement to the network and data base. My hard drives are celebrating already. But I am really excited about GUI support for hardware wallets. I updated the full node I'm running on my primary (Win10) PC last night but I didn't get a chance to play with it in combination with a hardware wallet. I'll goof around with it and a spare hardware wallet (a KeepKey) tonight. I plan on updating my node server this weekend, getting ready for taproot integration. @achow101, just an FYI; the downloads page on bitcoincore.org still lists Wladimir's key, 01EA5486DE18A882D4C2684590C8019E36C2E964, but I didn't see it as one of the keys that signed the sums file.
Yes, the docs are getting updated. Wladimir's release key will still be used to sign the backport releases (0.20.2, 0.21.2, etc.), but he will use his personal key for in the signatures for future releases. Thanks. I've had your key and Wladimir's key in my keyring for months, so I thought it was funny that yours was the only signature confirmed.

Yeah that's a drag. I had high hopes for him. I really didn't intend on drafting a 9ers RB, but I fucked myself over in the Running Back department during the draft. Once I finally realized my mistake he was the best prospect available. I tried to replace him with Elijah Mitchell on waivers, but Hueristic beat me to him. Would Trey Sermon be included in the team on week 2 or will San Francisco make Elijah Mitchell their rb1? I speculate that there might be more effort to play Mitchell as rb1 than considering Sermon in the team as rb2 or rb3. I have requested for a change in ESPN already hehehe. Also, did Covid Cam get a free opportunity for a reunification with Ron Rivera? A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Fitzpatrick is expected to miss six to eight weeks.
Fitzpatrick was injured on a second-quarter hit in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He was replaced by Taylor Heinicke, who will start Thursday's game vs. the New York Giants. Heinicke completed 11 of 15 passes for 122 yards and a touchdown Sunday.Source https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32203017/washington-football-team-rules-ryan-fitzpatrick-thursday-vs-giants-taylor-heinicke-start-qbThis is a good question. I drafted Sermon in one of my leagues and was absolutely shocked when I saw that he was a healthy scratch on Sunday morning. I am not sure what that is all about by any means. Normally the San Fran Niners like to use a few running backs which made it even more confusing. Now that Mostert is out for the year Sermon will get his chance to shine..and it might not be that hard to take over the job from Mitchell. After Elijah Mitchell's performance this past Sunday, I expect him to get the starting job this weekend, but I expect we'll see a bunch of Trey Sermon as well. Typical 49ers playbook; running back by committee. If Mostert had stayed healthy last weekend we probably would have seen most Mitchell's production shared among him and Raheem. |
