Brentford are fantastic I have been watching the 2nd half and do not let the score line fool you they should be winning this game by more goals. They should probably be winning 2-0 or 3-0 their striker Toney is one of the best strikers in the league and I cannot believe he was a Championship player last season I fully expect him to move to a bigger team in the transfer window. Teams like West Ham and Leicester could use a player like him. I think he could do a job for the top teams as a substitution. I think he is better then Werner who is Chelseas backup and I think he is better then Liverpools backup which is Origi. I wonder what price Brentford would accept because I think he is a homegrown player.

The transfer of Ronaldo will cause the departure of Cavani because Cavani lost the striker position to Ronaldo. Ole does not want to play with two strikers and Cavani now does not have chance to play. Even if Ole uses Cavani on the left or right position, he will not feel happy.
Cavani started ahead of Ronaldo yesterday and they are both at the end of their careers which I think will stop them from playing all games of the season and any team at the top needs a good back up for injuries and for the additional games in europe. I think Cavani will retire at Manchester United and Ronaldo will do the same.

Suddenly Leicester City are 2-0 up against Crystal Palace. I have to eat my words because I said Leicester did not look like scoring today and then suddenly they are 2-0 up in less then 10 mins.  Vardy and Ihean getting the goals. Crystal Palace are not playing as confidenly and the atmosphere in the stadium has gone down. I think I will watch the Brentford game when half time comes because this game looks like it will be a Leicester win now that they have scored they have gained control of the game.

I'm looking forward to the Liverpool vs Manchester City game and it looks like it will be tight, exciting and full of intrigue. and Liverpool appear to be looking to secure a home win to move up to the top of the table and overtake Chelsea who are currently top of the table after beating Southampton 3-1 and picking up two points.

and meanwhile, Manchester City are also eyeing a win to move up to the top three of the standings, and it doesn't look like it will be easy for Manchester City because they will play at home to Loverpool. and my prediction is the host will win in the match that will take place soon.
Liverpool and Manchester City are the favorites for the league and I think Liverpool have started as the strongest team in the Premier League. I think Chelsea are nearly there they just need to tighten things up because they nearly lost yesterday until there was a red card for James Ward Prose if that red card did not happen I see them dropping points. Liverpool and Manchester City today could be a title deciding match.
23  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: October 03, 2021, 01:28:19 PM
I'm fully focused on the Liverpool - Manchester City match now. Chelsea won and Manchester United lost two points. Let's see what these big teams will do while playing against each other. This is one of the most critical and important matches of this season as both of these teams are showing a great effort. Even though Manchester City are shown as a little more favourite team here considering the odds, I still think that Liverpool won't be the loser.
Really? I will place a bet on the game today. Liverpool has not lost in the last 10 games, that ist very good. I think it's time for Manchester city, the betting odds show city as fovorit, you sag it. Win City 2,4 / Win Liverpool 2,8…a draw 3,6. I think Liverpool will lose today. The last game against brentford was not good, 3 goals. 
Brentford have beaten Arsenal and drew with top teams I think they have scored in every game that they have played this season. Liverpool could have scored 5/6 but they were not good enough in front of goal but they should have won that game. Brentford had some luck in some of their goals and deflections in defence but Liverpool will play different against Manchester City they will be tighter at the back and they have 1 of the best defences in the world. I think Manchester City will win by 3 or more goals but that is because they are missing trent on the right back who is the most important player with Salah for Liverpool. Manchester City have a full team.
24  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ English Premier League Season: 2021/2022 on: October 03, 2021, 01:25:36 PM
For this game, my excitement is the inclusion of Kelechi Ihaenacho in the starting line up, as well as Lookman. From my analysis of the starting lineup, the Leicester coach is trying to ensure that they get goals enough in this game because the Leicester defence cannot be trusted.
My prediction Crystal Palace 1-2 Leicester City.
20 mins gone in the game and Crystal Palace are dominating Leicester City. I think Leicester are not to the same standard as they were last season. They look lost out there and Crystal Palace have been close to scoring at least 2 times with Zaha missing a near post shot and forcing the goalkepper to make 2 saves in a short time. Brentford have scored against West Ham you may be correct about that game I am watching the Crystal Palace game instead but I have heard Brentford have looked like scoring a couple of goals and they finally score. I think my predictions are going to be close I think West Ham might be able to calm down and get a point in this game. Leicester on how they are looking I would say they will not score a goal and it is only a time until Crystal Palace score.

It would have been nice if you could have increased the size of the "Live Stream" window, because on notebooks with small screens... it is almost not worth it to watch the streaming session.

I find that Stake sometimes lag a bit, but with 10 000+ users being online over a Saturday, when the Weekly are paid out... it would be expected that it would lag a little bit more than usual. (Unfortunately most of the Sports are played over weekends)  Wink

The experience on both sites are good and linking my notebook to a large TV... help to solve this problem.  Grin
Stake will never be able to compete with a fiat accepting website unless Bitcoin did become mainstream and most people used it. I would not expect them to be as smooth as bet365 but I hate the bet365 interface and I find that their website lags especially on a mobile. Stake interface is better and I find their website more responsive. I do not know why this is but bet365 has very smooth live streaming but their general website sucks. I do not know if it is because I use a mobile phone with bet365 and a laptop with Stake but Stake wins for me for overall smoothness of the website. Bet365 wins on live streaming.

That would be better but I think there's a reason why they can't increase the size of the screen to give the viewers a wonderful experience. The live streaming is free, so we can't expect it's like the other paid live stream, I don't know, maybe stake has an answer for this.
If it lags with 10k+ users then it will lag more if people could increase their resolution. When you increase the resolution of a video it is more demanding and you need to download more pixels and that is heavier load on the server. I think the window size is acceptable and both websites have a similar resolution.
26  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ English Premier League Season: 2021/2022 on: October 03, 2021, 11:21:12 AM
Here is how I think the games will play out  Grin

Crystal Palace 2-1 Leicester City
Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 Aston Villa   
West Ham United 1-2 Brentford   
Liverpool 1-1 Manchester City
Crystal Palace 1-1 Leicester City
Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Aston Villa   
West Ham United 2-2 Brentford   
Liverpool 1-4 Manchester City

Crystal Palace have looked good this season and Leicester City have looked awful in the league and in Europe competition. I expect Crystal Palace to win here like they did against Tottenham. I expect Tottenham to beat Aston Villa easily Aston Villa are not the same team without Grealish and Tottenham did well mid week with Harry Kane getting a hattrick maybe he has his confidence back.  West Ham and Brentford is hard to predict Brentford have beaten or drew with the best teams in the Premier League and you might be correct that they win again today. I think West Ham if they sit back and counter can beat Brentford I think Brentford do well when teams attack them like Liverpool and Arsenal. I think Manchester City have the better team and will win by 3+ goals today because of Liverpools pressing and missing key players like alexander arnold.
27  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: October 03, 2021, 11:17:03 AM
Liverpool are performing much better than last season. Manchester City got a nice win in the last league game but put a bad game against PSG.
I think the match we will watch today may be one of the best matches of this week. We will see a lot of chances and watch goals, we can watch a lot of corners and it can be a good option for betting.
I think it makes more sense to bet that there will be a lot of goals for this match rather than any team winning Smiley
Manchester City have had a couple of good results before the PSG game which they only lost because of a wonder goal by Messi his 1st for the team. Manchester City handled Chelsea better then Liverpool did. Liverpool only drew with Chelsea because of the handball on the goal line and the red card. Chelsea still looked the better team with only 10 players on the field. I expect Manchester City to dominate and win by a couple of goals today. I am expecting a high scoring game with Liverpool scoring at least 1 but Manchester City have the talent to win this by 3+ goals.
28  Other / Meta / Re: Should every newbie have a limit in the bounty of social media? on: October 03, 2021, 11:12:12 AM
I say we should limit the bounty board to full members+ the only reason people post on that board is to collect their earnings. If we continue to allow any one to post there they will continue to create multiple accounts and spam the board. If we limit it then that would reduce the amount of spam because some of the bounty topics have requirements that you post outside of the altcoin board. I guess we could see these bounties move off forum and still require people to post on this forum to collect their payment but I think that is still the better option.

The way social media bounty campaign is usually done here is as effective as thread bumping, meaning its a waste of money and time.

I was crazy enough to check the work of an average bounty hunter several times while looking for alts, and to use that famous line from Blade Runner's "Tears in Rain" scene, I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. What do you think, what kind of reach can social media account have when it's usually followed by other bounty hunters, because who else will follow social media account that just spews crap from dozens of altcoin campaigns, simultaneously? Don't get me started on article campaign, where illiterate bounty hunters are text spinning wp content..
It has 0 impact but they get paid in shitcoin tokens which are not worth anything. It is just creating spam for no reason and then they require you to post on this forum to collect your payment which creates more spam here. If we limited it to higher ranks then we would probably see the quality of bounties go up and the spam go down.
29  Other / Meta / Re: What is the main reason you don't come to this website more often? on: October 03, 2021, 11:09:16 AM
Lack of community projects and a negative overall atmosphere would be my 2 main reasons. If it wasn’t for nostalgia and signature payments, I’m not sure we’d see the activity levels we do from anyone who has reached beyond a member account. The vaporware forum, vaporware anniversary giveaway, vaporware badges… The trend does not look promising… The question is, will it ever change or are we going to continue to spiral towards the drain…
I think there would be members here that would stay without signature campaigns because some veteran accounts do not participate in them but I do agree that this forum needs change. I do not think removing signature campaigns is the answer but I think there needs to be more regulation especially in the altcoin boards because they are full of spam. I think there is already a lack of community projects I have never been involved in a community project and I do not think I have seen one. I guess the charity fundraising some members do counts as community projects?
30  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: September 27, 2021, 08:51:06 PM
The cause for this is the management. They have been inconsistent since Arsene Wenger left and they haven't had any decent management that went for a long time, staff keeps changing. You can even change the players, but if you have 11 players, all ready to play on the same tactic, and then sell 3 of them and new 3 games in, you still have 8 players who are used to it and that would make the other 3 better adopted to the tactic.

Now they are just simply bad and that's it, there is no excuse on it, I hope that they would get better and better over course of a long period. Let's see what they will do, but I agree that they will have bad results and good results constantly.
Arsenal have good enough players to qualify for european football but it is the manager that is the problem. I think every one knows it rival fans and the fans of Arsenal know it but the people who run the club above the manager seem to be ignoring the problem. I think it might be because he had a long career with arsenal and his reputation is saving his job but reputation is not winning them points. I think he should have managed at a lower level before being given the job now he will probably never be able to get a job in top flight football because of his poor performance. He bite off more then he could chew and it might effect his career in the long term. Arsenal just need a top class manager and I am confident they will be a team that is difficult to break down and teams will be fearing playing them again.

Tomorrow is the Shakhtar vs Inter Milan match, they both have no points in the group phase but I think this is certainly an opportunity for Inter to win it even though they are playing away to Shakhtar, seeing yesterday's game Inter vs Madrid which has a dominant attack, I believe Inter can overthrow it.
If Inter milan wins and Sheriff loses to Madrid then Inter's best chance is still there, which is clear in this group D no one is stronger except Madrid and Inter, IMO.
Real Madrid and Inter Milan are favorites to qualify for the knockout rounds and I do not think there will be any surprises. I think Inter Milan and Real Madrid have 1 of the easiest groups in the competition and it will be a big missed opportunity if either of them do not qualify. Shakhtar used to be a very good team and someone who I did not like to play against in Europe but they have declined recently and I do not see them beating Milan or drawing. I think Milan will win by at least 2 goals but I think it could easily be a dominating win of 3 or more goals by Milan.

We have a huge game like PSG v Manchester City tomorrow night.

At PSG, Messi is still injured and Di Maria will not be able to play as he got a red card. We will most probably see Neymar, Mbappe and Icardi in their attacking line. PSG have been doing a great work in the Ligue 1 as they have won all of their 8 games. But it was seen clearly that there was a decrease in their performance. I wonder whether there is an in-team problem. On the other hand, Manchester City have been really great. They dominated the whole game against Chelsea and won by 1-0. Recently, I like Manchester City more than PSG. In this game, I think that Manchester City won't lose and we will most probably see both teams scoring also.
I think Manchester City will win this easily. I think neymar and Mbappe do not work well together and without Messi they will lack that edge to beat a strong side like Manchester City. I will be putting a bet on for a 3-1 victory for Manchester City. I think Grealish will score and Mbappe will get the goal for PSG.

Benteke on for Edouard which I think destroys my chance of predicting the score correctly but Brighton are still looking lost out there and Crystal Palace should get the win. Brighton have been better in the 2nd half but look very vunerable on the attack I just do not have confidence in Benteke scoring and I think he will hold up the fast counter attacking on Crystal Palace. A good game but I was expecting a more exciting game but this has been a controlled game by Crystal Palace. It is a pity that we do not see Brighton go top of the league but they have done good this season to be in the position at the start and I think their good start confirms that they will be staying in the Premier League this season.
33  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin was hacked, NOOO !!! You are need read this. on: September 27, 2021, 08:27:16 PM
It really doesn't help that even mainstream media frequently has this misconception, further fueling the fire of mass misconceptions. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies is the field that I know well enough to immediately realize how dumb a lot of writers or "journalists" are.
Bitcoin is built on well used algorithms and cryptography if that failed it would not just be Bitcoin that is compromised but banks and other important industries because they use the best standards that we currently have. Any one saying that Bitcoin can be hacked does not know any thing and are not very good with computers because I think most people who know a little about computers understands that the security issues with Bitcoin are the people controlling the wallets and not the software that Bitcoin is built on.

<...>
Unless we go back to August 15th 2010, where someone allegedly deliberately exploited a vulnerability in the software, and managed to create a TX with 2 outputs, each with 92.233.720.368,54 BTCs, totalling therefore over 184 billion bitcoins (!). The incident is known as the Value Overflow incident, and was resolved in just a few hours after some panic rush coding and a chain fork.

I haven’t been able to find anything more specific on the perpetrator and his intent, although the below threads seem to point to it being a deliberate attempt and not a fortunate one.
 


I think this was quickly fixed? It might sound bad but a rollback or a hard fork could sovle the issue if it was to happen today. I am sure that the consensus would be to fork to not have newly generated Bitcoin on the network and this attack would not be effective.

If there is an ignore button to this constant China btc ban news in all the news outlets who published this news, I would suggest we all use it to show our lack of interest in their shenanigans, they should realise nobody cares much about this news anymore, this isn't 2018.
This is a ignorant view point of course people care and the people of China are devastated by the news just because you do not live in China does not mean you should not care about how a government is negatively effecting peoples lives because they have a alternative agenda to Bitcoin. We should be supporting any one that wants to use Bitcoin because it strengthens Bitcoin for us all. A lot of Bitcoin nodes were being run in China and because of this ban a lot of those nodes will now go offline weakening the Bitcoin network. They will not weaken it to critical levels but it will weaken the network. I hope what Franky said about the government licensing certain exchanges to trade Bitcoin is correct because at least that would be better then a complete ban for everyone that uses Bitcoin.

I would recommend seeing if you can profit before investing any real money. I would note down when you would invest and then when you would take out and do this for a couple of months and then look at your profitability. Use a spreadsheet to keep this organized. I think this is better then seeking for instruction because no one can teach instinct I think you are either born with a eye for speculative trading or you are born with emotion which ruins the chance that you will profit from trading. There is no school or course which teaches this unless you want to do a degree in economics but then that will probably not talk about Bitcoin at any point in the course and cryptocurrencies markets behave differently to fiat.

In addition, even with the implementation of the merit system (in which most newbies complained about), this brought about change that slightly filtered out spams which preserves the overall quality of the forum. I just do hope that they provide more features (e.g. mobile view, dark mode, etc.) in the future (though this has to do with convenience).
I think it did more then slightly filtering out spam. It has removed most of the problems in the main boards imo. Dark mode can be done on your side if you need to do it I do not think that this needs to be a high priority because it is easy enough for us members to change it. I would like a mobile theme that works with the Tor client on android but I think that is wishful thinking. I do not think the new forum software offers support for mobiles and even if we do have it upgraded soon it looks like we will not have a good experience on mobiles any time soon.

I can access the forum quite easily using a variety of devices, and I bought a bluetooth keyboard to use with my smart phone. I grown away from the forum because of the difficulty in having sensible political and health discussions. Some many people here seem to have been suckered into the belief that you can cure endemic diseases with vaccines after people have been infected, and also that the government is actually in control of the country. Maybe it is just that the indoctrinated are the most active.
I have not used this forum on my mobile phone but I have used other simple machine forums on my phone and it has always been awkward with a touch screen. I do not think I could justify buying a physical keyboard for my phone just to use this forum. How good does the physical keyboard work with it? How do you store it with your phone or do you only use it at home?
37  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ English Premier League Season: 2021/2022 on: September 27, 2021, 08:08:38 PM
Half-time is approaching but the score remains 0-0 but if Brighton manage to win they will sit top of the Premier League clear by 1 point above Liverpool and 2 points above Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United and Everton.
Crystal Palace lead just before half time with a penalty. I thought it was a penalty but I am not sure why he is making that challenge there. I am now closer to my prediction though! I think Crystal Palace have deserved to take the lead they are dominating most of the game but I will be honest I was expecting a more exciting game then this and a more open game. I was expecting counter attacks from both teams but Brighton have looked lost at times. They are missing Bisouma the most I think he controls that midfield and is good at finding space with teams that press high. I am hoping the new signing for Crystal Palace Edouard can get a goal today he has looked good but has not had a clear chance yet.
38  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ] JOSHUA vs USYK on: September 27, 2021, 07:49:25 PM
Many professionals knew Usyk could win the fight, I only learned about that minutes before the fight started and they were speaking in the commentary in the studio. Those that fought against him at cruiserweight knew he was the real deal. Those professionals that saw his cruiserweight fights also knew he was well capable of winning.

I always thought Usyk would fall short and Joshua would win but what do I know?  Grin

Usyk now can now double his money with the Joshua re-match and if he wins again he will probably take part in the richest heavyweight boxing fight of all time which will make the winner the unified undisputed heavyweight champion.

I think Fury will hold all the belts then will retire undefeated  Grin
Bellew was one of the best Cruiserweights in history and he got defeated against Usyk by knockout. I thought Bellew was winning most of the fight up until the knockout but Usyk proved he was a good boxer before fighting Joshua but I think most people try to describe and hype up Joshua as this undefeated opponent because of his appearance. A man like Joshua should not be losing against Ruiz and I think now fighters see his flaws and are not scared of him any more. Usyk showed little respect of his power and when Usyk was clipped by Joshua he countered immediately every time. I think Joshua might be finished at the top level and will be a top 3 fighter but will never hold onto belts again. If Fury gets the belts there is no chance that Joshua will beat him for the belts. If Fury retires and Wilder gets the belts that is the only chance I see Joshua holding belts again but Wilder is not going to beat Usyk. The only person who can beat Usyk is Fury imo.

Struggling Gunners suddenly hero of this week and good and mature Spurs are going down very badly its beauty of this English Premier League few weeks back mostly was calling Arteta as villain, but now he turned into hero with big win hopefully they will keep this momentum for next few matches and try to touch European qualification for next season which is very tough but no impossible on other side many rumors about Nuno and Kane.

But, we have no official confirmation what's going on and is this going to solve in near future, or they are going to struggle in this season for next year's European league qualifications many questions but right now no answer.
I do not think Arsenal will use the momentum they gained from the Tottenham win because they do not have the leadership or the players with the correct mentality to do that. I expect them to put a couple of wins together but dropping points against teams that they should not be dropping points against. I think the best idea for Arsenal is to fire their manager and get someone else in who has more experience. They have good players and I do think there are some motivation problems in the team but a good manager can help them build a winning mentality but their current manager is not Arsenal caliber and instead should move down to the Championship before he manages another team in the top leagues. I think he would be suited for more league 1 then Championship from what I have seen he has 0 tactics and the only reason he has the job and is still in the job is because he is loved by the fans for his career at Arsenal.

Advertise a job in the services board and include the amount that you are willing to pay and the deadline of the project. People are not going to create a exchange for free and I do not know if you have considering the cost of something like this. To create your own custom coded exchange and make it secure will cost you easily over $20,000 and probably more then that. Then you should think about why your exchange will be used over the other exchanges that already exist. You need licenses from your government to run a currency exchange too which I think cost a couple of 1000 to get. Most exchanges that exist today had cryptocurrency businesses before opening up and they had multiple years of experience do you have much experience in crypto? You are a new account and you have advertised here that you need someone to create it for you but have not included salary or any details about it and I think you are making a mistake if you think it will be a easy business that is guaranteed to be successful.
