As has been well documented in the media, talks have broken down between the Fury and Usyk teams to get this fight confirmed. Like many of you, I would liked to have seen a unification fight between Fury and Usyk but that might never happen now.

Now that we are sure the fight is not going ahead I have had to unfortunately lock this thread. If in future the fight between Fury and Usyk does take place, I will re-run the lottery making all 58 tickets available again and by making all entries in this thread null and void.

I would like to thank Ratimov for offering to pay $25 towards the prize fund after the winner was to be announced and I would also like to thank Utopia.

For those interested, there is a $50 prize available in another competition here which closes on 22nd April 2023 therefore you have plenty of time to enter:

For those of you that are not aware, there is a $50 prize available in a free competition. There are around two weeks remaining and it free enter therefore it you would like to enter there is still time. The thread link is here:

Wallin gave Fury huge problems when they fought and lost on what many deem to be a dubious points decision but nevertheless Fury was the winner. I think Wallin spoke the truth and many agree with him. Joshua simply cannot get the physical and mental side of his boxing to balance when he fights ever since Ruiz destroyed him with that devastating win.

I cannot work out why Joshua feels pressure, it is not as though he is the greatest heavyweight ever. He is an average boxer with average technical skills. I do remember his once saying he wanted to earn a billion from boxing but that was when he was world champion. Even a blockbuster unification with Fury would not have given him more than maybe $70-$80 million from the fight purse but could the fact that he knows his retirement is near (and his opportunities for pocketing millions are diminishing) playing a part in his mental ability when fights?

Yes you have been open and transparent about Whirlwind and your posts demonstrate it. I think that is what people here appreciate when a team member or owner interacts with them in a transparent manner taking the time to provide explanations and answer questions no matter how difficult to explain or articulate.

As you stated, members only have your word to go by but the reviews and feedback of the website are positive and as your service progresses members will begin to make their own judgements in increasing numbers about the service and quality of service you provide. I tested the service and posted my review, it is a very simple service to use.

As for mixers seemingly launching on a daily basis, I have to say I cannot recall a time here when this many were being promoted via signature campaigns or a time when this many were using ANN threads frequently. It does provide competition for each other but if you have created something unique from your competitors from a technical perspective then they will have to play catch up.

I wish there was some other of saying this but there is not because there is no good news for you. First I am sorry for your loss but you have to accept there is almost zero chance 1xbit will resolve your case.

You cannot be blamed for trying to get your funds but from what know about the history (and tactics of 1xbit), it seems clear your funds will never be returned to you.

There are around two weeks remaining before the FA Cup semi-finals take place. There is a $50 prize fund for the winner and there is still plenty of time to enter competition 

These are the games taking place this weekend:

Saturday 8th April 2023
Manchester United vs Everton
Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest
Brentford vs Newcastle United
Fulham vs West Ham United
Leicester City vs Bournemouth
Tottenham Hotspur vs Brighton and Hove Albion
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Chelsea
Southampton vs Manchester City 

Sunday 9th April 2023
Leeds United vs Crystal Palace

If Manchester City manage to beat bottom of the table Southampton on Saturday they will close the gap back down to just 5 points and all the pressure will be on Arsenal to beat Liverpool at Anfield. There is a big game to play between relegation candidates Leicester City and Bournemouth.

Here are the most recent results from the Premier League games played:

Wednesday 5th April 2023
Manchester United 1-0 Brentford 
West Ham United 1-5 Newcastle United

Tuesday 4th April 2023
Bournemouth 0-2 Brighton and Hove Albion
Leeds United 2-1 Nottingham Forest 
Leicester City 1-2 Aston Villa 
Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool

I have no idea how I managed to overlook this when I tested the Whirlwind website for my review.

There is no mention of this in the changelog so was that feature always there from day one since the Whirlwind website went live? I cannot understand how I missed that part of the functionality where multiple withdrawals of varying amounts can be made from a single Note. This was one of two recommendations I made in my review but it was there and somehow I missed it during my testing for my review.

Here is my review:

As much as already been reviewed and though I have not read them all, I have read some of the reviews in some parts therefore would not want to reiterate the functionality side of things as that has been covered extensively in the reviews here. I would like to review my overall experience and views after touching on the two types of options to mix on Whirlwind.

FAST
This was a simple process. I entered the withdrawal address and chose to receive the amount within zero hours. As expected, I received the funds in under 60 minutes.

NOTE
After the amount was sent I withdrew the Note and chose to receive the amount within zero hours, which they did.

OVERALL VIEWS
I used the service twice (once with Fast and once with Note options) with the minimum 0.001 BTC sent on both occasions. I also used the lowest 0.25% fee on both occasions.

This is an easy to navigate website, there is very little going on with regards to excessive hyperlinks and focus is mainly on the core aspect of the business (which is mixing). The letter of guarantee is made available to download. When sending funds, two confirmations are required before any mixing takes place.

The captcha is an essential part of stopping spam and bots flooding the website, I did not find this one a problem with the 5 characters but during one test of refreshing I am fairly sure I entered the characters correctly but it took four attempts before I finally was allowed to proceed. Not sure what happened there but most probably my error rather than software or configuration issues.

After I withdrew the funds, I tried to go back and try again to withdraw and already withdrawn amount (for testing purposes only and not with the intention of scamming) and the pop-up alerts with a notice can be seen in the images above.

One thing that I noticed was after the withdrawal takes place, it shows Balance After Withdraw 0.00000001 BTC which gives the impression that the end user is owed 0.00000001 BTC (when that amount will be taken for the transaction fee) and it caused a little confusion. A quick attempt trying to withdraw again will show the pop-up alert above.

For the sake of testing functionality for this review, I should have withdrawn to several addresses but opted for one. Also, for both transactions I used Tor browser and found no issues with the settings on the strictest level.

Maybe I will revisit this review and update it if/when I re-test the Whirlwind service with multiple address withdrawals and by using clearnet. My review took place some time back but I posted the images and review just now when I had ample time.

POSSIBLE FUNCTIONALITY TO CONSIDER
Possible improvements or nice-to-haves would include a system where a withdrawal Note can be used to withdraw a percentage of the full associated amount. Technically, it might not be too difficult to have a superseded letter of guarantee to accommodate the disparities between the deposited amount and withdrawn amounts but the Whirlwind owner will know if this is possible (or even feasible) or not.

It could also be useful for a user that has deposited funds at Whirlwind to enter the Note and then have an option to generate a second Note or several Notes for an amount from their balance which could then either be used to withdraw another time or to provide to someone else for example in the form of payment for goods or service or trade. If there is a demand for this sort of service it might be something for the Whirlwind owner to consider implementing one day.

Earlier, the website on Tor was accessible but the clearnet came back with this:

Thank you for the swift payment. I wish you success in managing another large campaign such as this and also send best wishes to Whirlwind as they set out in their newly launched business 

I did not update previous results and add further fixtures. Here they are:

Monday 3rd April 2023
Everton 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur

Sunday 2nd April 2023
West Ham United 1-0 Southampton
Newcastle United 2-0 Manchester United

Here are the games taking place today:

Tuesday 4th April 2023
Bournemouth vs Brighton and Hove Albion
Leeds United vs Nottingham Forest
Leicester City vs Aston Villa
Chelsea vs Liverpool

After a quick navigation of the website anybody can see it is simple to use and the Fast or Notes options are extremely easy to select. It is a basic no-nonsense to the point website that is easy to navigate and that is a plus for end users and that should play a very important part as your business grows.

Having said that one of the fears people must have is about sending funds to mixers at the unfortunate time the mixer decides to exit scam (and to my knowledge it does happen from to time because people end up posting about getting scammed). Keeping that in mind this would be a very difficult question to answer but what can you say here and now to give confidence to forum members that a future exit scam is the furthest thing from your mind and what your very long term strategy is?

There are now 12 accepted entries for this competition.

At moment the FA stated the semi-finals take place on 22nd April 2022 therefore this competition close soon before the first game kicks-off.

Once again I thank Utopia and Igebotz Management Services for contributing $25 each for this competition. I hope those browsing this competition will check out the services they offer because the $50 prize fund has been made available by them.

You are in very safe hands with Hhampuz managing your campaign here.

Welcome to the forum 

Considering the recent situation with Chipmixer, I think this is definitely a valid question.

At the way Joshua is fighting he does not deserve to share a ring with Fury, it is that simple.

Usyk has nothing to prove because he defeated Joshua twice, they will never fight again. As for Fury (regardless of why his fight with Joshua never happened) he will never give Joshua an opportunity to fight him now. The best Joshua can hope for is to try to get a fight with Whyte, Wilder or Joyce. For me, Wilder will knock him out. As for Joyce and Whyte, I think Joshua  will struggle to beat either of them.

Believe me, even you watched the fight in HD you would not be missing much 

Joshua seems way past his best and in my opinion his best was simply just about good enough to beat a 41 year old Klitschko when Joshua himself was just 27 years old.

No harm in seeking clarification because I was unable to read between the lines 

I understand your opinion, thank you Halab for elaborating.

I think the general consensus here has to be that promoting mixers does not by default mean anything wrong is happening. Most people require some degree of privacy to to attempt to anonymise their BTC (such as signature campaign participants or lenders), however but some of the service providers could face having some of their services misused for criminal activity including money laundering.

The fact that all mixers are promising to provide an anonymous service means it could be targeted by criminals for nefarious purposes. Having said that, if any law enforcement agency stated they deemed mixers to be illegal it would change the equation very fast because the forum would ban their campaigns and probably their forum representative accounts too. On top of that forum members would not be wearing their brands in avatars or signatures.

In a nutshell, based on your previous post do you think the Liverpool owners should sell and allow someone else to come in and fund a new direction and at the same time do you think Chelsea should sack Potter and bring in a new manager? Would both of these scenarios turn around the fortunes of the clubs?

These are the games taking place today:

West Ham United vs Southampton 
Newcastle United vs Manchester United

The owners at Liverpool have taken the club off the market and have decided to not sell. As far as I know they have not yet made it known how they plan to make new finance available for strengthening the squad but they have made it clear they will not sell. Maybe Klopp and the current owners will buy clever in the summer transfer window and will re-emerge as a force for next season.

I am quite disappointed with Joshua, he was never the most talented or the best but he always found a way to win until Ruiz knocked him out. After that defeat he was never the same again even though he won on points in the rematch. When was the last last time Joshua won by KO rather than TKO? A quick search shows just 5 KOs over his 28 career fight record.

Can we all admit he simply is not good enough to be taken seriously as a world champion contender?
