OP, electrum recently posted a new version of the product; if you are talking about two or three months, then your version was not fresh. I'm always paranoid about updates and try to keep everything fresh.
~snip~

I advise caution with the latest versions, because as I already wrote in the Electrum board, they messed something up with the Android version, and some users report that the combination of Electrum+Ledger does not work for them. In addition, they turn a very simple wallet into something too complicated, especially for new users.



Yeah lessons learned with some price but now I need to see what would be the best way to setup my system and my way of working around these things. I now really wished that I would have come down to my senses for once and would have used my hardware wallet but being casual along the way you just start to follow things like you have been doing and only come down to sense once the harm has been done.

You have a new OS and that's a good start, and from now on be much more thorough in every step and check everything at least three times, and if necessary five times for larger amounts. Although no HW is perfect and cannot protect you from everything, it will still provide you with a fairly high level of security if you use it correctly.

What else should an established crypto casino add?

Of course, every potential player first looks at the selection of games or deposit bonuses, and for most online casinos that is certainly something that attracts new players, but I would like to point out one more very important thing, which is customer support. In the event that some unpleasant situation happens (and there are quite a few in the Scam accusation board), every casino should react as quickly as possible and clear things up before the impression is created that someone has really been scammed.

I think that reputation is very important in this business, and every player will be able to appreciate the quick resolution of possible problems and will remain loyal to that casino and recommend it to others.

Why don't you continue this in your other topic?

Maybe due to the fact that the old topic contains some very inconvenient information for the OP, which not only concerns plagiarism, but also accusations of an alt farm and the possibility that the OP got a permanent ban because one of his alt accounts was permabanned. This is a link from 2018 that I posted in the topic you mention, and apparently the OP was banned not because of plagiarism, but because of the reasons I mentioned before.
2184  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Vigilante hacker burns about $300k worth of BTC linked to Russian intelligence on: May 01, 2023, 02:29:14 PM
Right.  I read this thread multiple times and still do not get it.  Why not send all the money to Ukraine then.  Why burn it.  Something seems off.  If they have a grudge against Russia it gets more weird.  Russia would be happy to know part of the money did not land in the pockets of Ukraine.

Maybe the hacker was unaware at the time of the hacking that there was a BTC address for donations or the hacking happened before the attack on Ukraine regardless of the fact that March 2022 is mentioned. The part of the article called "Pure intentions" may explain to some extent why the hacker burned those coins, but according to what @o_e_l_e_o found, less than 10 BTC was hacked, not hundreds of BTC as the author states at the end of the article.

As for Malwarebytes, I am bit surprised that it didn't alerted something running in background whenever I opened Electrum. I am bit paranoid about scripts running in background or autostartup so I had softwares to check those as well and delete/remove those things as well.

I assume you have the Premium version? Even then, you cannot be sure that it will detect every malicious software or attempt to compromise your operating system. When you look at the fact that hackers break into highly sophisticated systems and steal information, it should not be surprising that they bypass some trivial protections compared to such systems.

About hardware wallet, I still have a Ledger Nano which I have used in the past to hold big balances but right now I don't use it. So yeah I have the policy of big balances to hardware wallets but there are cases where I need to move coins fast I tend to loose up a little and move into wallets that I have in my easily accessible devices.

It's a shame that you stopped using the device that would have most likely protected you from what happened to you, but people learn best from their own mistakes. Surely you know that you can have multiple wallets on HW and protect each of them individually with a passphrase, so you can separate something that you keep long-term from what you will use in some way as a hot wallet.
2186  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Vigilante hacker burns about $300k worth of BTC linked to Russian intelligence on: May 01, 2023, 10:32:08 AM
The title of the article is :
Quote
Vigilante hacker burns hundreds of BTC held in wallets used by Russian intelligence

Although the value of those burned coins is estimated at only $300 000, and that does not fit into the story considering that at that time 1 BTC was worth an average of about $40 000. Does that mean he destroyed a little more than 7 BTC?

I don't see the logic in destroying something that can be useful to someone else, especially in the context that it is claimed that he sent part of the BTC as a donation to Ukraine.

Yesterday I noticed a yellow star in front of the notification about the received merit, but that icon appeared only in one notification, so I assume that it appears once every 24 hours, considering that it is the only notification I have turned on.

I'm pretty sure I've read something very similar before and that the OP is an alt account of someone who very likely got permabanned.

World war 3 start about 2024-2025 safest locations during the the world war 3 Will be USA UK and some part of Europe Baltics Nation Will be safer then scandinavian Nations.

The Third World War implies weapons of mass destruction - nuclear weapons, and if we agree on that, then the US or the UK and even most of Europe will not be the safest place in the world. The entire northern hemisphere is the zone of highest risk.

Please post your future points in another board such as Politics&Society or Off topic, because this has little or nothing to do with the economy.

2189  Economy / Gambling / Re: Looking for the best tipsters in the world on: April 30, 2023, 01:54:15 PM
I really don't understand why people think tipsters can make someone profit. If they were so good at predicting then they were not going to sell the information in exchange of a fees. They could just simply bet of different casino / sportsbooks and make a lot of money.

There are various contests in which tipsters compete publicly and as I already wrote some of them are really good and have a high percentage of wins - but this is not about fixed matches, but about sports events in which the outcome can be predicted based on the strength of the teams and their current form. But these are smaller odds of around 1.50 on average and if you want to earn something, you have to invest a little more money, which not everyone can do, so such offers are not very attractive.
2190  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Someone at FIFA/UEFA should do something about the referees on: April 30, 2023, 10:39:42 AM
I researched a little more and I believe that the values are very close, in other sites the values change a little more or less, but the average is the same.
The argentinian matches were "curious" in the last world cup, I also agree with you but this is almost impossible to prove, I find it very difficult to know who is honest and serious in FIFA after they discovered all those scandals.

According to everything we have seen, Qatar won the hosting of the world championship only because they distributed money to everyone who decided on it, and did not ask for the price - the same as Russia did before them. Of course, you can't prove regardless of all the dubious decisions and the non-use of VAR in the same, although this is perhaps the best proof that even with such technology, the game can be directed in the direction that was previously agreed upon.


I don't know if you are following, but there is probably a big scandal happening about the Spanish championship involving Barcelona, it is worth reading and get even more angry:

Big clubs, a lot of money and a lot of influence on everything that can be influenced, and the fact that they did it for 17 years without anyone from the Spanish authorities doing anything shows the level of corruption even in top football. However, Barcelona is too powerful for something serious to happen to it, and the man at the head of UEFA is certainly not the one who will clean the house of European football.

The world is big, nothing is impossible!
Looking for the best tipsters in the world(Fixed match)
but I need to verify it...

Of course, nothing is impossible - I know a site where there are many tipsters who have over 70%, even 80% wins, but mostly the odds are around 1.5. You won't find what you're looking for (fixed matches) so easily, because if such matches exist (and they do exist), big money is made there, and no one shares them online or sells them for a few hundred dollars.

From my experience with such things, no one will let you verify such things for free, you always have to pay in advance, and in case the bet is successful, they usually ask you to pay another part of the won prize.

Someone obviously likes to play with sea creatures, but it's nothing new that we haven't seen before - because most of the holders are at the bottom of the food chain anyway, which means shrimp&crabs🦀🦐

It may sound strange, but it doesn't matter to me how much BTC someone owns, but whether they understand what they own and whether they use it in the right way.

Hello! I Looking for the best tipsters in the world
winrate 80%+, better is 90%+(Asian Bet or Bet365), you know what I said
~snip~

To save you time, you are looking for the impossible and you will never find it because such tipsters do not exist. If by any chance they existed and in addition shared their tips with others, most bookmakers would fail very quickly, or they would be forced to block them. You have countless tipsters online who offer their "premium services", although the question is why they sell information that is supposedly very valuable for relatively small amounts?

I know why and how, and you will find out too if you try their services Wink

Thanks we don't have KYC in our system we are never going to ask for it

I have nothing against you not having KYC, but under which licenses will you operate and how will you protect yourself and prevent someone from doing bad things through your casino? Somehow it all seems too good to be true, but everyone deserves a chance to prove themselves, just as everyone deserves the right to express their doubts.
2196  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum 4.4 Relased on: April 29, 2023, 09:14:34 AM
I upgraded the Android version to 4.4.0 and every time I tried to send a transaction Electrum would just crash, so I upgraded to the last possible version 4.4.1 and now after I click on the Pay button I get a screen with a QR code and two messages, the first of which reads :

Quote
Transaction created and partially signed by this wallet. Present this QR code to the next co-signer.

The second message is some kind of additional warning, but this version of Electrum doesn't allow taking a screen sample. I note that this is not a multi-sig or 2FA wallet, and it was created with the Android version of Electrum.

The bad message of this story to everyone who will read it is that crime actually pays off - because just three years in prison (is it real prison or probation?) sends a message to everyone else with similar intentions. In the worst case, the "criminal" will be released when he has served 2/3 of his sentence, and maybe even before.

Shall we bet that he will repeat the same thing as soon as he gets another chance?
2198  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Someone at FIFA/UEFA should do something about the referees on: April 28, 2023, 02:22:38 PM
@rdluffy, If all the information is correct, then I am not surprised that the football referees at the world championships referee "catastrophically" and that before the start of the competition, everyone knows who will be the winner. When we look at the 2018 world championships in Russia, where the main character was the Argentinian who refereed the first match and the final (weird, isn't it?), and no one had heard of him before that. The final in which he did everything for the French to become champions was a steal in front of the eyes of the whole world.

Four years later, we all knew that Argentina would be the champion, and after three disallowed goals in the match against SA, there was no VAR for the Argentines until the end of the championship - not a single disputed event was checked. After all, I am surprised that the majority still think that sport is still sport, and not a rigged game in which luck is the smallest factor and money is the biggest.

I don't spam any boards, not even Gambling, where I write a maximum of 10 posts a week, and I think that most of those posts are constructive - and also don't compare the campaign in which I participate with those that encourage spam - I only need to write 20 posts a week, and earning was never my first priority. There are shitposters in all parts of the forum, have you maybe looked at the Bitcoin discussion board or Economics boards?
2200  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Someone at FIFA/UEFA should do something about the referees on: April 28, 2023, 10:58:24 AM
Should UEFA do something about the referees,these guys have everything in their hand and can make the game go any result and I will say again that famous saying from a local coach where I live as he were leading the first place and lost against last place at home,in the end of the game he said explicitly (With this referee even Brazil could not win tonight)?

Let's be realistic and understand that football in Europe but also in the whole world is a top business in which billions of dollars are turned over every year, and where there is money there is also corruption. For those who followed the FIFA case (great documentary FIFA Uncovered), they could see how dirty it is, and what is happening at the lower levels (national championships) is even worse.

In my country, not so long ago, it was found in court that the entire refereeing organization was corrupt to the extent that the clubs paid for "fair refereeing", and I don't think it's better even today - even when there is VAR, which is again in the hands of the referees who sit in the VAR room.

For those who understand that top sport is first of all business, and only then entertainment, nothing will be strange - because they say that the ball is round and unpredictable, just as the referee's decisions are sometimes a bit strange.
