Oh Bill absolutely loved everything about that game.  He is as old school as it gets in the modern NFL and he was probably licking his chops when he read the weather report earlier in the day.  The question I find myself asking is, if it weren't for the crazy snowy/windy weather they had, would the Patriots still have won the game? I think it's fair to ask.  Personally I still think the Bills are better, call me crazy.

They've won last 7, most in good weather, some against decent teams (Chargers/Browns/Titans, the latter two being blowouts). Their defense is excellent. I'm not a Patriots fan by any means but I think they are better than Bills at this point in the season. As for weather, that's part of the deal. If you can't play from mid-November (nearly half of the season), you're not a good team IMO.
2002  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Freewallet.org - SCAMMERS CONFIRMED - Fraud group. on: December 08, 2021, 01:13:19 PM
On December 3, I moved my funds to Free Wallet through the Korea Cryptocurrency Exchange.(I had purchased Bitcoin.)

Why did you use freewallet? Are you trying to convert the bitcoins back to fiat (dollars/won/etc) ?

1) Screenshots of your incoming transactions where we can see the hash, amount and the name of the sending service (another wallet, exchange and so on);
2) Photo of your identification document of the owner of the account: an international ID or a driver’s license (a photo of both sides).
3) Bank statement or utility bill where we can see your name and resident address. Information should be in English;
4) A photo of the owner of the account in front of the image “Attention” (attached below) on your computer monitor (if you use a web version of Freewallet) or near your mobile device with the app open so that we were able to see your user ID.

Ridiculous demands. A screenshot of a TX? A photo of a computer monitor?

This seems basically designed to frustrate legitimate customers for no good reason because the bad guys (whoever it is that freewallet pretends to confront with this KYC nonsense) would still be able to fake all that if they wanted to.

They missed their first FG attempt from extra point range after getting goaline stopped.

You're right, I just edited my post a few seconds ago. Still a good strategy with that two-point play.
2004  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: December 07, 2021, 08:29:49 PM
On a football note last night's game was awesome to watch, Pats ran it down their throats with the Bills knowing it and still couldn't stop it, fun times.  Mac Jones 2-3 19 yards and they won lol.

Patriots tricked them with that 2-point conversion. Bills could have won it if they didn't chase TDs, twice - two FGs would have done it. Yeah, I know wind etc but still.

Edit: I'm probably wrong, they did try and miss an FG, and only then turned one drive over on downs. Not so much a trick then, but that early 2-pointer did win the game for Patriots.
2005  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: December 07, 2021, 07:23:54 PM
Oh, that makes more sense.

Or does it?

2006  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: December 07, 2021, 07:17:10 PM
Does this mean that the playoff rounds last two weekends, collecting points over the whole span?  Do we get to change our lineup for the second weekend?

Wait, what? Now you confused me even more. Two playoff games each round? I thought two weeks were allotted in case there were wildcard games, for larger leagues.

At any rate, I would too suggest to leave the settings as is, it's fine.
2007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: December 07, 2021, 06:09:56 PM
Oh, I think I see what you're getting at.  If I lose and Taco wins, I'll have to play you in the first round.  If I beat Wheelz this week I'll have to play him again in the first round.  Hmmm, tough call.  Damned if do damned if I don't.  Not that it matters, I never dreamed of winning this league anyway.  Besides, any time you and I match up you seem to have the luck of the gods on your side.

Yes, that's what I was thinking. The other part of it is the playoff schedule, which I'm mildly confused about. It says "week 15-16" and "week 17-18". Do we play the finals in week 17? Some teams might be resting their top players by then. Might not apply to Colts though.

A troll account created by someone who should know better. Pretending to be a newbie when they're clearly not. No big loss here, I hope it stays dormant forever.
You are deeply mistaken, because judging by my humble history of messages, I hardly look like a troll. Moreover, in the context of your caustic response, you are more like a troll than I am, but I understand your feelings, and as before, you will continue to remain on my real list of trust.

It's not about fee-fees, it's about the inherent dishonesty of sockpuppeting the way you do it ("I'm new at this" LOL).

I think everyone will agree that only a mentally retarded person might think that an account with such an identifier and with such a username belongs to a newbie

But apparently only a mentally stable genius would pretend to be a newbie with such an account.

B- for the idea to register this account, solid F for the ostentatiously cringy execution.
2009  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: December 07, 2021, 04:53:10 PM
I was surprised to see that I clinched.  I hadn't mapped it out but, last week I thought I needed to win both of my last two games to get a spot.  Congrats to you and wheelz, and best of luck to the Muks,  Dogs, and Taco.

You're 2 wins ahead of 5th place so with one match remaining there is no way for you to drop out of top 4. Needing to win the last two might have been true if Dogs didn't lose.

However... Jonathan Taylor is on a bye this week. You have a chance to win this match. But do you want to? Map that one out Grin

They are still in infant early phases for both projects and I don't expect to see anything release for next year or two, but let's wait and see.
I am not sure if he is an ego maniac like Elon Musk, but I don't think he will go down the route of creating his own shitcoin or investing in some crap like Elon.

We'll know if he starts building spaceships, which seems to be a major hint as to the evilness of a billionaire.

Seriously though, I liked Square, it made the otherwise idiotic credit card processing system bearable for a small business, but unfortunately many of those financial startups eventually branch out into predatory lending and shit like that once they go public and need to show exponential revenue growth, and Square is no exception here. So chances are that they will fuck Bitcoin payments up with some contrived fiat-inspired nonsense.

I don't think any serious person believes that person is a newbie. He created an account with the handle "Three Millionth User" that has a UID of 3 million. If you are referring to his rank, you would still be wrong, as he does not control his rank, the forum displays his rank.

Honestly I'd be disappointed if you would ever argue against sockpuppeting.
2012  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: December 07, 2021, 12:31:06 PM
So what do we have here...

Loading...

Three teams fighting for one playoff spot. If Taco wins their next game, they're in. Otherwise:

For Elon to get in, they must win and outscore Taco by 18+ points, if I got the tiebreakers right.  Also Dogs must lose, otherwise Elon would have to outscore Dogs by 150 or some such silly amount.

For Dogs to get in, they must win, and they have a huge points lead so that should do it.

You really should increase the character count on this signature campaign.  Look at all the shitposts from useless spammers and trust abusers like suchmoon just to earn money from this campaign: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=234771;sa=showPosts

LOL nice try to retaliate for my post in your thread.

Many of those posts are not paid (P&S, WO, under 100 chars, etc). I never promised to change my posting habits to fit the campaign and never will, so if you think that I'd post more pleasant things about your ludicrous "club" if I weren't in this campaign, you're mistaken.

I didn't think this nasty trainwreck could get any better after losing most of their bitcoins, but I must admit I was wrong. Esteemed forum treasurer going full troll on his business partner is proper icing on the shitcake.

I was going to say that rectal domino is my favourite, but that could be taken out of context.

Taking it out of the context between Erotic Almond and Condom Retail might be an improvement.
2016  Other / Meta / Re: DefaultTrust changes on: December 06, 2021, 12:05:51 PM
It may have been always this way (and I am sure of this)... What I was wondering about is that it is not specified anyway that DT2 users can also influence the "real" Trust score of a user, by giving a positive / negative / neutral feedback. However, we go again to the above part: if you set the depth to any value, it should not matter when viewing the profile with the ";dt" at the end of its URL... Do I understand this part wrongfully.? Or, rather, did I explain better now what I wanted to say...?

You're overcomplicating this Smiley

The purpose of ";dt" is to override any of your personal trust settings and show the ratings how they would look like to a newbie who just registered on the forum (or anyone who doesn't have custom trust settings). Not sure what you mean by "real" score but it sounds like it's the same as ";dt". And as LoyceV said, it is always depth=2 because that's the default setting for new users. That's the "specification" you're looking for.

2018  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 06, 2021, 03:26:14 AM
Blockstream *is* taking 100% of these fees, and has built a powerful Bitcoin sidechain that might make them some pretty serious money.  They are basically positioning themselves as a modern day payment rail like Visa or Amex.

[...]

As far as I understand ALL of my trades happened trustlessly on the Liquid blockchain at little to no risk to me whatsoever.  No third parties, or at least a blind distributed federation making it possible.

That's all a bit contradictory, isn't it. If Blockstream and/or 10 of the 15 (or whatever the multisig set up is) "federation" members got hacked or "hacked" or raided by the FBI or whatever, it sounds like you might have some trouble getting your money back. Not quite "your keys".

Ethereum for all its faults executes native craptoken contracts atomically. I would have expected LBTC to be like that but it sounds like it's not much better than WBTC and other wrapped Ethereum garbage where you also need to trust the peg holder.

ps. Can the Moon Coiners win without Deebo playing?  Grin

They can, not sure if they will though. Lamar against Pittsburgh... should be interesting.

The good news is that Nutildah "sad dog" Jones is back.
