Cloud mining is never become profitable especially to those who invest and bought mining power on such platform. Profits you get just become fee on those high maintenance fees so nothing left. If you're using a calculator it actually takes months or year(s) before you reach your ROI. That's why cloud mining is never profitable since then.

And I'm guessing there won't be any additional membership fees to wear an avatar because that's why the forum was hacked in the first place.
This bug was solve already that's why we can still use or upload avatars because if not, there's no reason to bring it back if hackers can still use this a loophole to hack the website again.

Also this was mentioned by theymos when creating the copper membership, which i quoted above too.
I wrote the system so that I can easily add additional paid memberships in the future, but I might not ever do so. Not sure.
So there's a chance...

This might not benefit me at all same with the copper membership, but for those who want to pay just to get such feature. And especially to a company who wants to promote its business here, yeah, why not? It will give the forum another source of income in someway, even though its not that huge fund. Right @theymos?

Maybe we can call it bronze membership, lol. Since it's bronze after copper age.

I wrote the system so that I can easily add additional paid memberships in the future, but I might not ever do so. Not sure.
Maybe this is the time, just don't be after the "but".
2064  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: DUCKDICE.IO DEAD SUPPORT AND UNPROFESSIONAL TEAM on: December 22, 2022, 09:41:48 AM
For support related issue, I guess you can message their representative here he/she is quite active here, check its profile DuckDice.io[1]. You can make a reply on their ANN thread[2]  too.
About your account recovery, what's their requirement in the recovery process, is it not just the original email to reset your password?
Or have you forget that email's password too? Because if it's the case then based on their support page[3], they can't do about it, well, actually they can using the KYC if you have submitted it on that account and ask you for re-validation.

2065  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: I have to verify my blockchain account? on: December 21, 2022, 11:55:40 PM
I stopped using blockchain.com when they initiated the KYC thing and offered to pay $100 to customers who summits their documents successfully.
Where did you get that offer? Can you post a screenshot of it? Because if i remember correctly, they offered $25 either on XLM or XRP (I can't remember), then later on $5, also $50 this was when bull market but you need to do KYC and buy crypto there.
2066  Economy / Gambling / Re: casinoxy.com SCAM deposit not credited , probably not even a real casino on: December 21, 2022, 11:39:46 PM
There are lot of reputable casinos in this forum, and gamblers still prefer to go out and get scam.
Simply because not all casino were posted on this forum either it's accepting payment or especially if not. And not all potential casino users have to look this forum or have an account this forum because they are so called "gamblers".
Some of these users just gamble because they saw a good offer on ads on different platforms.

Anyway, just like what i have said earlier, no matter where you get the idea/offer of creating an account to a casino if DYOR is a thing, this incident could be avoided either a newbie in gambling or not.

I just want to brought this topic back since the previous one[1] was locked.

Yes as the title said the KBM or Korean Boxing Members Commission change the decision after some reviews and the admittance of Akaho that it's a KO defeat. Source[2].
"Mr. Akaho said that the damage he received was not due to the impact of the punch hit the back of his head," said John Hwang, KBM chairman, in a letter to the Games and Amusement Board (GAB).

"He took a break to fight again, but he gave up because he couldn't, and he admitted that it was KO defeat."

They have ANN posted on this forum, you can check and post your concern there[1], but unfortunately, their representative is not active anymore, its last activity was almost 3 months ago.

About the other casino it looks like a copy cat and was made to scam people based on their deposit page with the same deposit address on any account made as what i have checked.

2069  Economy / Gambling / Re: casinoxy.com SCAM deposit not credited , probably not even a real casino on: December 21, 2022, 03:15:10 AM
I am wondering that someone is lured to gamble on a gambling site that is not or that has not ever advertised on this forum before, or proven worthy to be a good gambling site on this forum, but some people will go and register maybe with big offers that can sound not to become true.
Simply put, OP is not a forum user, probably just make his own research after he feel that he got scammed and go here to make a thread related to his experience.

By looking the site it offer "150% deposit bonus", who else don't want a deposit bonus right? And that's what probably lure him to register and deposit there without making a research the reputation of the site/casino first.
2070  Economy / Gambling / Re: casinoxy.com SCAM deposit not credited , probably not even a real casino on: December 20, 2022, 11:35:25 PM
If you simply register on a website with dummy info, i m sure you will get the same wallet addresses in any accounts address you may do.
20 ltc is my deposit https://live.blockcypher.com/ltc/address/Lhz7hnBwa6VnAH7dKX5HAWXJJGTLmn1Q8Q/
the rest are from other victim,  i was on preregister list, they provided a very good bonus, they claimed they will return the deposit and ask me to deposit on another currency. i made a really small btc transaction, not credited again even with small confirmation. the point was to eat another deposit from me. then blocked me by chat. all games are inaccessible without a balance, you are unable to have any kind of balance on you account. try your self with a very small amount of course
This is the first time that someone makes a fake casino to steal first deposit.
how ling it will need before people stop falling.
can i upload private attachments for moderators to check as i dont want to share my private info publiccally
I confirm this is the case. I registered and checked the deposit page of ltc and yeah this is clearly a scam casino. I suggest the same thing mentioned above to open scam accusation on the board following this format[1].
On the other side, i will suggest to DYOR always when you are trying to use any financial related site that require deposits especially to a newly made website.

I saw your previous thread when you first introduced yourself as an alternative to Preev.com which is offline.
Although I don't know when they (the developer/owner of preev) fixed the site but preev.com actually is now working (i accessed it by the time of writing), but it doesn't have secured (https://) connection for now.
2072  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to properly store seed phrase during inspection? on: December 20, 2022, 02:13:21 PM
I'm just shocked and believe how the police body cam can find seeds that easily during a simple car inspection because they could hide the seeds in any place and I think if they could find the seeds like that there is no way to be completely sure about hiding a seed phrase.
A car is just so small that you can eventually see anything that was keep inside especially if an "inspection" is done because most cars have common place where to keep belongings either in compartments, under the seat, etc.

About the how's on making the seed secured especially those written in papers, i guess it differs from person to person and experiences.
With my paper backup i don't write numbers or even put "Ledger" or anything related to crypto in that backup just to be safe to anyone else.

Well, honestly speaking, if you are just asking the "meaning" of anything, google is always there to give you detailed answers.
Utilize the use of internet, not everyday you will be newbie to be spoon-feed'ed.
It will be considerable if you are asking the technical aspects of it/them, but for a mere definition/meaning?

I reported the 3 remaining threads including the thread opened by hilariousandco which is a global mod by himself to close the topic thread since the event has ended and there's no reason to keep it open. I agree to keep the other thread opened "After the 2022 World Cup" since it's different topic now.
Well, let's see.
2075  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: New Solution to Address the Problem of Gambling in Australia. on: December 19, 2022, 11:56:44 PM
Using up credit cards is something that really needs to have that good control or else you would really be ending up on making yourself in risk of huge deep debt which is something that we do need to avoid.
It "should be" like that but "free money" that can be used "now" will always give temptation to anyone, even me having credit card will have the same experience like that, but good thing i dont gamble with my credit card, only online shopping lol.

In the first place, I don't understand why gambling platforms allow the use of credit cards on their platform. That's clear greedy on their part and most casinos globally don't even accept credit card payments for obvious reasons.
It's one of the hype payment option before, although it has huge risk people are so hype when credit card was introduced and implemented most marketplace, or related shop.
That's why implementing it on gambling have huge advantage to the platform, not thinking the risks behind it. And later on responsible code in gambling related law was implemented.
2076  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: New Solution to Address the Problem of Gambling in Australia. on: December 19, 2022, 11:26:41 PM
The problem:Gambling with credit cards is high-risk in nature and could have serious financial consequences.
Proposed solution: Responsible Wagering Australia is putting forth a new interactive gambling legislation should block operators from offering credit cards as viable payment methods.
The Challenge: If this legislation is implemented, it would also affect lottery tickets, which would not be purchasable through credit cards anymore.
There are really lots of risk using credit cards, while "buy now, pay later" is really helpful for only for the need and wants but this shouldn't be included as a payment option that can be used in gambling. It doesn't differ from lending like what was discussed on the other thread which will result more problem.

Removing credit cards on payment options will have more impact as a solution for prevention of problematic gambling than the challenge mentioned. Also, it will give other payment options to be added on traditional casino, well, crypto has a huge chance to be implemented as well.
2077  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Privacy issues when purchasing hardware wallets on: December 19, 2022, 03:20:07 AM
The Ledger debacle that caused the leak of customer information (down to their home addresses) is making me hesitant in purchasing a hardware wallet.
There are services out there that will buy the hardware wallet on behalf of you, but expect an additional fee for that.
Also, as what mentioned above, Trezor seems more reliable when it comes to privacy, but of course you need to trust them for that. Here's a guide on how to buy a hardware wallet[1].

I've found this resource, is this proper procedure? The guide is incomplete though as it doesn't say how to generate the address from the mnemonic. Could someone fill in the rest?
This is hassle and looks like just experimental and probably not secure. I would prefer to use an existing way, how to create paper wallets or wallets from open source software and generate in an offline device or simply using an air gapped device.

Or is Tails OS/Electrum preferred?
Creating cold storage using electrum is one of the secured and easiest way to create one.

2078  Economy / Services / Re: [WTB] Escrow for bitcointalk account on: December 18, 2022, 02:05:03 PM
Well, people here recommend escrow when dealing someone especially if you're a newbie or dealing to a newbie.
Also, people here discouraged bitcointalk account sales for many reasons including scam and spam although its not agaisnt the rules. Also, escrows are not discourage to accept such deals only those who buy and sell. But despite that very reason you rarely seen escrow that accepts such deals, or maybe just maybe they will accept but for higher price. Who knows, most deals like this are private.
2079  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: what is the best crypto wallet for mobile? on: December 17, 2022, 10:00:31 PM
When considering holding bitcoin or any cryptocurrency in a mobile wallet you should considered a lot of security and privacy measures not just because you have used a "secured", "trusted" wallet by many. I have used and installed so many mobile wallets such as electrum, samurai, mycelium, trustwallet, coinomi, blockstream green, with of course funds on it but i have never experience any hack issues.

You see, it's not all about the wallet you used, but also on how secured your device is and the practice you are following securing your funds. Of course using a "secured" wallet is a plus.
2080  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are we ever going to see this on gambling platforms some day. on: December 17, 2022, 09:50:20 PM
I know there's an E-Sports tournaments for fighting games like this including Tekken and Street fighter. They are available to watch online and we can always organize a betting event for this like for example on this forum if not locally.
I found a site that has lists[1] of previous tournament of mortal kombat mostly the latest one MK11. But since this is considered as an esports probably there are platform who organized betting for this the same but not as big as in dota2, CSGO, LOL and MLBB, PUBG  for mobile games.
