The sequential post of the OP and their "inactivity" in the Forum suggests to me that a scammer has spotted the inactivity and chosen to take advantage of the naming conflict to weave a scam casino with an all too similar brand name, then wait to spring their trap.

Percentage wise I'm not entirely sure as I don't go checking any savings / superannuation accounts more than once or twice per year, but just to give you an idea of the crypto, I've been stockpiling the payments from the Signature Campaigns that I've participated in over the last 18 - 24 months.

My suggestion to the OP would be "Don't get caught" and "Don't get banned"...



I'd be curious to find out exactly how long after this thread was started that the OP was banned.  (just makes me laugh the trouble some spamers go to, get registered, start a thread, post die anyway and still get banned...)

 

I'll jump on the bandwagon and suggest you search out an old scrypt coin that still has an active thread, block-chain, exchange and working wallet (especially if it also has an Android wallet)  It doesn't have to be worth too much, just enough that it's affordable to buy in bulk (at a reasonable price) and can be HODLed for the foreseeable future.

I think it's going all the way down to $15,000 and will stay there until the end of this year at the earliest and then perhaps get talked up via social media then fall nearly as rapidly into next year.

FOMO investors who follow the prophets/profits of social media have already been burned very badly and won't come back anytime soon.

I nearly didn't spot this post count occurring overnight:

Post count 7,654 (descending numbers)



... and yes, I've taken the time to archive the post count for prosperity:  Archive [1a], [1b]

Next stop:  Post count # 7,777 !!!  (Full House!!)

Rugby League.

Yes, I've put those two bets on.  NitrogenSports.eu haven't been showing Union on their site for a few days.

I managed to watch the Eels Vs Raiders game.  I felt the first half was very lackluster, however, the commentators were gushing at the play given it was 0 - 0 at half time.  In the 44th minute, the Raiders scored a good try then followed up with a fluke try.  The game became electric then the Eels scored taking the score to 6 - 12  With five minutes to go, the Eels scored in the corner and the video refs took nearly five minutes to award the try.  The conversion was missed and the scor was 10 -12 with four minutes on the clock.  The Eels scored another dynamite try in the same corner with less than a minute to go, but the raiders players had managed to crash tackle the player out of touch and the Raiders won 12 - 10 against the Eels.

The Raiders' team are coming together and might push into the top eight/six ?? by the end of the regular series, so I'll be leaning their way with future bets this year.

Hopefully, that's the only lost wager this round.

Perhaps when I asked if you'd heard anything you should have stopped after your first word


Instead you went into an unwarranted, unfounded rant after I asked you a perfectly reasonable question about a friend's welfare.

I've been to Canada a few times on vacation and have called in on coin and bank note shops in various locations.  I've found they all seem to stock plenty of American numasimatic items, so they might be a secondary market you can try first.

More like thirty plus years in active fandom not just on both sides of the ditch, but trips to the US, which makes me think you aren't what you are claiming to be.

Time to pull your head in

I only asked because you're supposedly here in Australia and claim to be a part of the Furrie Community.

A mutual friend of ours recently mentioned they'd heard Grant was not well and wondered if I knew how he is going and whether I had any contact details etc.

Unfortunately,  I haven't heard from him since he moved to the north of Auckland some time ago.

I don't suppose you've heard how Lindgold is at the moment?

According to the FAQ page they do shipping to Italy:

I've also had a look at the other pages and there is a G. H. W. Bush $1 coin available.   I believe this will be one to collect as the original President's coin series was from 2007 through 2016 so some collectors not knowing there is a new issue may miss out now.

Rugby League.

I've just put my bets on for this week.  The Storm and Rooster's games had odds of 1.02 and 1.04 respectively, so I put some spreads on (which I don't normally like doing)

Storm ( down 30.5 points against the Nth Qld Cowboys) at 1.88 and the Roosters (down 10.5 points against the Newcastle Knights) 1.81

I think I may have to miss placing bets when the odds get to be so low.

Rugby Union.

• TOKYO OLYMPICS 2020 RUGBY WOMEN GOLD MEDAL WINNER - Fiji Women (ya never know)
• TOKYO OLYMPICS 2020 RUGBY WOMEN GOLD MEDAL WINNER - New Zealand (more likely).

Have just recalled another movie:

Bastille Day.

Set in Paris on the titular Bastille Day, a riot occurs in Paris culminating in the storming of a bank with the Police then counter storming the bank.  The Police are corrupt (!) and have used the riot as a front to access the bank's vaults to steal Bitcoin.

I should add my recollection of the film is that they steal "Bitcoin", however, Wikipedia says "Bertrand escapes with the USB flash drive on which the money has been downloaded" so this may need to be verified if anyone can get their hands on a print of the film.

Beware the above wallet address is a feeble attempt to impersonate the real wallet address as quoted below and made by the OP of the thread.


If you send any funds to *any* of these wallet addresses, then you WILL loose your crypto and have no chance of recovering any funds _ever_

The Movie "Midnight in Paris" talks about bitcoin.  (The father of the bride is an investment banker and talks about the "Silicon Valley Bitcoin Investors").

What's interesting about it is that the movie came out in 2010.

TV Series.

I'm surprised you don't have Blindspot on your list.  One of the reoccurring characters (who becomes a central character later in the series) is "Rich Dot-Com" who built his fortune on bitcoin hidden in a brain wallet.

It would be awesome if there is such a database, but I haven't seen it. Creating something like that would probably take a lot of time and effort since all the data would have to be collected and processed manually. Perhaps TryNinja or LoyceV can come up with something?

You mean like the Google Spreadsheet that is listed on the first page, first post? 



Admittedly, it hasn't been updated for a while, however, not many people have referenced it in more recent times, so - no interest, no updates.

Data entry is a very time consuming process.

Considering how many people already have a hard time recovering Bitcoin from an old storage format, I wouldn't use non-standard encoding.[/quote]

True, but as with the second response below, these methods could be used by someone who knows what they are doing for short term storage.


Well... it is, but not with the method you supposed above.

the hxg5JYz is the file name of the last bar code in my previous post.  I wouldn't advise using a third party service to store a privkey.  However, it demonstrates that a privkey can be hidden in a multitude of ways (I'd only use the above (filename method) for very short term storage).

there are about a dozen forks of bitcoin that have viable amounts that can be recovered[/quote]
I only know of BCH/BSV/BCH-A/BTG/BCD that are currently worth it. Which ones did I miss? As far as I know they either have very low trading volume, or no working wallet, but if I missed some, I have work to do![/quote]

Sorry, my bad - I think I meant to say HALF a dozen...

Ballet Wallet will import BTC/BCH/BSV/BCHA/BTG/BCD at the same time with the one privkey while coinomi imports BTC/BCH/BTG/XBC/BSV/BTCZ one at a time (but with just the one privkey)

* when I say import, the funds are sent as a transaction to a new wallet address contained within the relevant App.

From the above, there are seven plus BTC (which is getting near to a dozen I guess ...) there could be more I've missed if they have non-bitcoin names.


Not as yet, the easyest way (which I'm going to do) is go to

• https://segwitaddress.org/
• https://segwitaddress.org/bech32/

generate a pubkey/privkey pair then use Zint Barcode studio or similar to generate a QR code and print out using Open Office or similar (I use the Portable Apps version).

If you *really* want to be sneaky, you can create a NON QR code

e.g.



or



or



or



and slot those barcodes into text in a pdf (or even a printout) where they appear to be for something else entirely.  A person not in the know wouldn't know what sort of bar code, where it was stored (in the clear, or with-in a pdf etc) - as a label on a book, or a jar of coffee... They would have to spend days barcode scanning *every* surface.  (not to mention the Lego Set)


I'll dig out the link (probably tomorrow as it's getting towards midnight here time)

Did you know


is a bitcoin wallet address ??

See if you can work out the answer to that.
