2121  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ UEFA Nations League final four ⚽ on: June 02, 2023, 02:43:06 PM
It seems that there is not too much interest in this competition, but considering that it is only about 4 countries, it seems that most of forum members do not consider it too important - although this is in a way very similar to playing the semi-finals and finals of the European football championship.

As for Croatia and the Netherlands, I can only say that I expect a very good match in which both teams will give their best, and it should be noted that this is a match between the sixth and seventh national teams in the world according to the FIFA ranking with the fact that the Netherlands is in 6th place with only one point more than Croatia.

The first match is played only 4 days after the final of the Champions League, and as far as I can see, the Netherlands has at least 3 players who should play in that final, and Croatia can only have one (Brozovic). I would say that the Netherlands has a slight advantage due to the home field, but that Croatia in its standard good form can beat any team.

I also think that Spain is the favorite in the second game, but even though Italy has been in bad shape for years, they should not be completely dismissed in advance.

Right now Eth is the second biggest crypto in terms of marketcap and if eth somehow takes over btc, RV will celebrate it as if his own failed project accomplished it.

Only for those who do not understand the manipulation they use to be the second largest, which is the fact that this shitcoin has a current circulating supply of 120 million tokens, with the fact that it is not even known what the max supply is. Even if they increase the max supply by 100% at this moment, at the current price, they would still be second.

That's pretty much about him. A bitcoin Judas. His only motivation is to destroy bitcoin.

He has no motivation to destroy Bitcoin, he is simply an ordinary leech that goes from one host to another and exploits it until it passes to another. Even if he wants to destroy Bitcoin, do you think such a slob has even a 1% chance of doing it?

I am just glad it is not like those "faucet" type sites that we had back in the day, because those sites were crap. Users spend hours to receive only a small amount of Satoshi .... and it is actually a waste of time.  Roll Eyes

I would not agree with you, because I know how things are with faucets at the moment, and it is far from the fact that something cannot be collected on them if you have a strategy. I made my first BTC through faucets and I don't think it was a waste of time, especially since I saved and spent that BTC only when it increased in value x100.

As I already wrote, strategy is important - without talking about passive income (referrals) or being the owner of a faucet.

At the moment, there is no tool that could determine with 100% certainty whether someone is using AI or not, and accordingly anyone who makes decisions based on such tools risks accusing someone without any basis of having done something wrong. The only indication that someone is using AI is when they leave a part of the text in which it can be seen that the post was made with AI, and we have seen that there are such cases.

Unfortunately, the plague of AI creeps into every pore of society, and the fight with it on the forum currently looks like a fight with windmills.
2125  Other / Meta / Re: Algorithm to "merited by" order on: June 01, 2023, 03:33:07 PM
I have to admit that I noticed it a long time ago, but I never felt the need to ask that question, although I drew some conclusions myself like the others in their comments above. What I have concluded is that the order primarily works according to the principle that those who have awarded the most merits are the first, and then if several users give the same number of merits, the order depends on the date of registration. It is a very simple criterion that makes sense.
2126  Economy / Gambling / Re: THNDR Play Games to Earn Bitcoin on: June 01, 2023, 03:24:01 PM
It somehow seems to me that there is no need to talk about earning, but about entertainment in the case of such things. From what I know, you can earn more on faucets in one hour than playing these games - although some will say that faucets are a waste of time. Besides, playing games on a smartphone usually drains the battery very quickly, and you also need internet to play online if I understand correctly?

@Obari, maybe you could have asked this question in this topic Using ToS against users normal? considering that it is on the first page of this board. I believe that you can find some very good answers to your question there.
2128  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Transaction Accelerator. Does it Work or Just Another Hype? on: June 01, 2023, 10:37:44 AM
~snip~
ViaBTC does not increase the transaction fee paid, it includes the transaction into their candidate block for confirmation.

And what is even more important for some who think that their transaction will be confirmed instantly, the confirmation depends on when Via finds the next block, which could be within a few minutes, or after a few hours. It happened to me many times that the transaction went through before Via found the block, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work as some still claim.

In addition, this issue was relevant as early as 2017 and there have been many discussions since then, and the fact is that many have learned to use RBF and CPFP, because there is not much interest in transaction accelerators as before.
2129  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [Warning]: New Bandit Stealer targeting crypto wallets on: June 01, 2023, 10:23:58 AM
To me, this seems more like PR for the company in question, because from the attached screen samples it is obvious that they do not know the difference between wallet and cryptocurrency. Table 3 says "cryptocurrencies stolen", but they mixed up cryptocurrencies and wallets, and in the second table they even add a CEX as a wallet.

There are probably hundreds of such malicious programs, and all of them have in common that they enter the system through the carelessness of the user, and AV companies just want to tell you that you will be safe if you use their protection. This is only partially true, because the first level of protection against such malicious programs is each user for himself.
2130  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Could invested assets be nullified by progressive gas fee after halving? on: May 31, 2023, 03:17:10 PM
The OP is confusing two things, because the fees he is talking about in relation to CEX are not only fees for miners, but something that can be called a service fee. When you withdraw coins from CEX, the usage service is charged, and that's why people always think that the fees are too expensive.

That is why it is not very desirable to withdraw funds from CEX often, especially after you have bought crypto for only a few tens of dollars. What has been happening with transactions in recent weeks is the result of human greed and stupidity to use the Bitcoin blockchain for what it is not intended for - and I would call it ordinal madness. But like all stupidity, this one will come to an end, and I only hope that all those who participate in it will feel stupid for everything they have caused.

And, actually, with more 10k free rolls played now I'm waiting for that 10000 number to pop up any time soon. Smiley

I looked at my statistics and I am currently at over 16 500 free rolls, which means that I can hope for the jackpot, maybe even sooner than you Wink

Of course, everything is a matter of luck, it can happen today, and maybe only for the next 10 000 free rolls. However, lately I have had a little more luck and today I rolled 9990, which is not a bad win.
2132  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's Wrong with Roger Ver? ::) on: May 31, 2023, 02:49:12 PM
Nothing is wrong with Roger Ver, but it is with people who still wonder why he is not what he was in the past. I and anyone who has a smarter job in life certainly don't care what he promotes at the moment, because we know that he supports anyone who pays enough.

What we do know is that he is a simple traitor, and also not very intelligent when he thought that he and his little communists could destroy Bitcoin with their useless fork. With these new statements, it only shows how much he understands what he's talking about, because that shitcoin he's talking about is an ordinary inflated story that's worth even less after it moved to POS.

2133  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Recovery - Send your (encrypted) recovery phrase to 3rd parties entities on: May 31, 2023, 02:27:48 PM
~snip~
But I will buy a Trezor T wallet because they promised that the secret phrase would not leave the wallet.

Don't be naive, Ledger said the same thing in the past, and today we know that the whole story they told is a simple lie. Trezor has its vulnerabilities, and even cooperation with companies that deal with spying on Bitcoin users and censoring transactions is not something that can position them as reliable producers.

In addition, both companies are located in the EU, and accordingly they will have to (or are already doing so) act according to regulations that go in the direction of complete control of crypto transactions.
2134  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Foundation Passport Official Thread on: May 31, 2023, 10:52:37 AM
Can someone confirm if this HW works in combination with Electrum with the help of QR codes or only as described on the official website with the help of a microSD card? https://docs.foundationdevices.com/connect/electrum
2135  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Recovery - Send your (encrypted) recovery phrase to 3rd parties entities on: May 31, 2023, 10:44:53 AM
To anyone that is still using Ledger: I've seen a couple of reports floating on Reddit[1][2][3] regarding users that aren't able to sign transactions unless they update to the latest firmware. Considering that I haven't seen such reports here, I would say whatever happened with these users has nothing to do with forced updates?

Note: Eventually you'll have to update your device if you want to use the Ethereum app that Ledger provides[4][5]. I assume that this applies to most apps provided by them.

Does anyone think that Ledger worked so hard that a new firmware would only be an option? Of course, they will use every possible trick to force users to upgrade, because otherwise they will not be able to upgrade coin apps, and accordingly they will not be able to sign the transaction.

I just hope that as many users as possible will give up using this wallet, even though currently the only option that seems somewhat safe when it comes to HW costs even $200, and I am sure that a good part of users cannot afford something like that.
2136  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: OCC recommend banks to offer private key vaults to customers on: May 31, 2023, 10:24:12 AM
It's a bit complicated. Definitely, FDIC or the bank's insurance don't cover it. But it can be insured. I'm not aware of the specifics, though.
In the event of a bank theft or robbery, then the insurance activates. I'm pretty certain it covers such incidents.
Theft and robbery on bank's safety deposit boxes happen once in a blue moon. The same can't be said about residences.

Maybe the content can be insured, but I don't believe that most people do that, and as for the fact that it doesn't happen often, maybe it's in the interest of the banks that such news is not made public at all. Besides, whoever says that the contents of the safe deposit box must be robbed in the classic way, it can be seized by the police at any moment, as was the case in California. It is true that most of them got their content back, but only after lawsuits.

In addition to keeping our mouth shut, perhaps time will come when we might even do away with Bitcoin stickers, Bitcoin paintings, Bitcoin mugs, and anything that gives the robber an idea that we have Bitcoin. If the robber knows that you have Bitcoin, it doesn't anymore matter where you hide your seed phrase in your house. He/she only has to cut your finger to have it.

That time has come a long time ago, at least since the price of BTC gained value in the last 5-6 years. I understand people's need to emphasize the sign BTC, but that way they only draw attention to themselves, and in that case they must be prepared for possible consequences. As for burglars, I have a "shoot first, ask questions later" policy, so I don't worry too much about someone threatening me like that.
2137  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 30, 2023, 04:19:23 PM
Stop dreaming about it, and also BTC doesnt want to be that, BTC its a reserve of value more than a day to day coin, that was proved several times. Lets other coins be used for day to day and Gresham law work.
And other thing dont repeat the shit of "mining with renewables energy", that its pure missconception against PoW and BTC made by the powers, to destroy BTC.

You don't need to be so harsh, at least when it comes to the Philippines, which became famous some time ago for an island that has become very attractive for tourists who want to pay with Bitcoin. Furthermore, all those who advocate the thesis that Bitcoin is not a currency (nor should it be) are actually those who do not understand that this is the only way it will manage to survive.

When you say some other coins, do you think there is something better (not to say safer) than Bitcoin in terms of payment?

2138  Economy / Gambling / Re: is KYC data on Gambling sites safe? on: May 30, 2023, 03:40:03 PM
"Safe" is something that you cannot define as definitively safe, because there are so many database leaks/hacking that it is hard to count them. It is not just gambling sites, but in general all possible databases that contain personal data, whether it is data that is under the control/protection of state or private companies.

Each of these databases is potentially vulnerable, the only question is how well it is protected and how much someone wants to hack it. When an unauthorized person comes into possession of such data, he can use it for ordinary phishing (e-mail, SMS, phone calls), for possible physical attacks on a person or his property, or for creating false documents.

In general, the more KYC you do, it is more likely that you will become a victim at some point. KYC has its purpose and there is no doubt about that, but it is definitely a double-edged sword.

Quote
Tourists in Bali Warned Against Using Crypto for Payments, Governor Says They’ll Be ‘Dealt With Firmly’: Report

People go to exotic destinations to enjoy and relax, not necessarily to use Bitcoin, even when it is completely legal and possible. Therefore, I think that such decisions do not affect tourism too much, because Thailand also banned payments with Bitcoin before, as did Turkey.

For those who go on vacation to pay with Bitcoin, there is always El Salvador or Boracay, and probably some other places where Bitcoin is not prohibited. However, if I were to choose my tourist destination, I would also take into account how each government treats its citizens, and whether there are any crazy laws that could land you in jail. Bali with its attitudes and strict laws is definitely not on my list of priorities.
2140  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which New Technology will be adopted by the Gambling Industry? on: May 30, 2023, 02:58:40 PM
Any technology that will enable online casinos to offer a more attractive service and that will enable them to fight against fraudsters will certainly be implemented. It is a business in which huge money is made and they are always ready to invest in something new, and it is no secret that those who enable something new have the chance to attract the most new players and retain those who are already their users.

In addition, during the pandemic, online casinos received a large number of new players who discovered some of their advantages compared to physical casinos, and I think that some new technologies will attract even more players of the new digital generation.
