2241  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Miners Benefitting from the High Fees? on: May 09, 2023, 06:22:27 PM

However, its important to note that high transaction fees can be also a double edged sword for miner. If fees become too high, it can drive users away from using the network, reducing overall transaction volume and therefore reducing the revenue earned by miners.
You are very correct my friend and that has been the case ever since with me because I have tried to sell some coins and the fright of the huge fee has kept from selling because its rather extorting and coin wasting for me to make such payment and I definitely know  am not the only one affected here because I decided to convert the btc I need now to usdt and send it through another channel which has lesser fee and this is exactly what you stated in this reply of yours which clearly show that  am not the only losing here the miners are also affected because the fee has started pushing possible customers to different channel which reduces their over all transaction volume and by so the revenue generated is also greatly affected.
2242  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: #14, 000,000,000 for Aso Rock Painting and Furnitures on: May 09, 2023, 06:06:40 PM
The Nigerian government have set aside the whooping sum of #14 billion in naira for the rehabilitation of the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja prior the inauguration of the new president Bola Ahmed Tinubu, while considering the huge amount of money for just refurnishing of the Aso Rock and we have many Nigerians suffering in hunger and poverty, youth having no employment opportunity and yet the government is claiming being in debt from foreign nations in strive to build a better Nigeria.

Every country is fighting poverty and hunger, but that doesn't stop them from embarking on necessary projects, 14 billion is a drop in the ocean, it would not solve Nigeria's debt, the problem with Nigerians living in Nigeria is that you guys complain too much, the amount might look out of the hook, but considering the cost of building materials and furnishing, 14 billion is not far from it, if only you guys have any idea how big this ASO rock is, we're talking about the Presidential Villa, the most valuable and one of the most expensive in the country, so let's stop pretending that rehabilitation doesn't happen every time a new President is sworn in. The average land price in Abuja and Lagos Island is between 2 and 5 billion Naira, and everything is fucking expensive.

I understand that the current government has abused a lot of funds in the past, making it difficult to trust them at this point, but we should sometimes try to understand some decisions without being sentimental. The renovation includes all of the required security measures.
Well said boss man, I saw this thread since but I have been cautious to give my replies as I don't want to be abstract of everyone's opinion on this matter and I really don't want any one to hold grudges as you we Nigerians can be really sentimental about some issues. Let's look at clear and open facts about this matter, I mean c'mon it is the ASO ROCK  for God sake and we all are aware of changes that seasonally take place when their is change of governance and it happens in almost all levels of government. For example the change of my state government saw the renewal of almost all the equipment and building if not all in the government house when the new governor wanted to resume office and it cost them billions of naira and this one we talking about is refurnishing of the presidential villa you must imagine the cost materials used in that building so the above mention is worth what its been used for and no need to get all dramaticall about the amount..

It's always about the profit for many  Grin so yes I've seen many people betting on underdogs instead of the norms, like I've said, it's always about the profit, this is possibly where the biggest amount of money goes into betting, in football games there is a chance of making better money if you bet on small team against a big one, the chances of winning is lower and the odds will be higher, if things go your way it sure a big win.

Those who don't derive fun from their gambling bets and co don't know what they are missing, gambling should be on Funvibe for everyone, it keeps you in good check and it gives you power over your emotions, just have fun, that'd all
Yeah I totally agree that it should be fun based and not all the time it should be about the winning or cash you would possibly get from gambling. It was because of the fun of me seeing team like chelsea lose that gave some nice winnings in my bet account a few weeks back when they actually lost to big odds in these two matches against Brentford and Aston villa and I tried to stake them to lose this weekend again against Bournemouth but this time it back fired  Grin but I was not affected by this as I did these bets because of the fun i had enjoyed from seeing Chelsea lose.

Well thanks for the review you did on the site and app, I have already checked the domain myself and that was what raised my alarm for a possible scam here but just needed to sure am not fabricating any suspicions from the bad hunch I have for this kind of platforms, well anyway like you said it is just a possible suggestion so anyone involved in this should just take extra precautions and I have certainly cleared my cousins on a possible scam but am leaving them to their fate so whatever plays out the result is for them to reap it.
2245  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Enquiry on software/website on: May 08, 2023, 10:09:07 PM
Hello family

I thought I should drop this for the house to formally clearify me further on this platform that was blatantly praise and worshipped like a money making machine by my cousins I went visiting this past sunday but from the research I made on this platform/website seem to me like a scam project run by scammers presently to lure enough customers in their atmosphere before they actually mess it up because as for now they claim that the software is actually paying but I believe its just a matter of time before those that invested or in this case of their bought a mining machine will start crying for their funds. I donno if am wrong about this but I also strongly advice for everyone that have involve or planning to partake to take serious precaution before starting because regret is always one step away from us.


so here is the name of site or app

2246  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: May 08, 2023, 09:52:13 PM
many gambling addicts have lost their minds because their desire to continue gambling overpowers their common sense, hence the importance of "gambling responsibly"
Addictions in general have a way of affecting a person's reasoning and decision making. Any addict can go an extra mile just to ensure they can keep doing what they like.

In the case of this Old man, it is as far as kidnapping his own granddaughter, in some other people's case, it is as little as deciding to neglect food and bills just so there can be money to gamble with.

As gamblers, this is the stage we should avoid getting to. You owe it to yourself to put yourself in check so your gambling does not get out of hand.
.sometimes and many cases I have come in counter with, hard drugs also contribute to the nasty behavior and measures taken by the addict to actually satisfy his /her needs . one problem only is to gamble and have an intention of always winning and another is to become an addicted person to this and as if that's enough, gambling and doing drugs will just finish the whole set up of this dreadful act because the drugs can actually trigger a new and evil character you have not done before which is the main fact to the result of so many unbelievable act done by people.
2247  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: May 08, 2023, 09:38:20 PM

Even I don't understand what happened in the Brighton vs Everton match. Because Brighton continued to push the Everton defense throughout the match but still struggled to score a goal back. Only 1 goal could be put in by Brighton against Everton. But what surprised me was that Everton seemed to have deliberately lulled Brighton into attack and waited for Brighton to let their guard down. However, I appreciate Everton's strategy in this match. Everton only had 5 shots on target and all of them were goals. Another thought I have about Brighton is that maybe their mentality collapsed when Everton scored in the first minute. because after all Everton's goal in the first minute was very, very unexpected.
Strangly Brighton where at home and they should have won being the team  that have had a better performance this season. The early Everton goal set them down and made Everton believe more that they could win the game.
The battle for everyone is to remain in the premier league, so I understand why they took the game very seriously.
This is actually normal when the season wants to come to a end, teams near or in the relegation zone always act superior as they know the severity of accommodating a loss in their matches. My only suprise today was the amount of goals scored in the three games that featured, I mean the amount was mouth watering as a total of twenty two was scored which is almost the total of goals in a single matchday. Now that the league is about ending the ratio of goals scored is just tremendous and its a lot safer now to predict on goals scored than actual winners of a match in the EPL.

Well-done to your good deeds, firstly you have done well by creating an awareness massively in the mind of these children and hopefully one day they knowledge you gave them will act as an extra edge to them using this wonderful initative which is bitcoin and secondly the idea of sharing prices is a wonderful idea and its not easy in a time of inflation like this to actually spend from your pocket to complete this wonderful project of yours. Well your community is now one step ahead of bitcoin adoption prior to the good work you did in sharing this knowledge around, its good we help spread its awareness because this is what is needed for more adoption by the masses in the society at large.
2249  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: High transaction fees and businesses that accept bitcoins. on: May 08, 2023, 08:56:19 PM
This season where transaction fees are really high can be a discouragement for people who were already becoming used to making payments in bitcoins at their local stores that accept payments in bitcoins. For people who have businesses that accept payments in bitcoins, how are you coping at this time when transaction fees are really high, and what adjustments have you made to try to see that people do not totally cancel out making payments in bitcoins due to this challenge.
The best advice right now is to put the Bitcoin payment option on hold due to network congestion, the wasted time before the transaction is confirmed, and the high transaction fee because, initially, it is an alternative mode of payment. When the mempool is free and the transaction fee is less, then the Bitcoin payment method will resume because we know it will not be a permanent thing because I am sure developers and miners will do something about this Ordinals.


Will this go so soon? I guess not, this is because the causes could be due to the creation of BRC-20 on the Bitcoin blockchain and Ordinals issues as I indicated here: (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5451799.msg62208042#msg62208042).
I believe developers and miners will address the BRC-20 and Ordinals issues soon because transaction congestion and high transaction fees are out of control. Miners will take almost all of the transaction fee as their reward for processing the transaction, and if you choose to set a very small transaction fee, your transaction will take a very long time to process.

No doubt they will do something about it but the time factor needs to be considered here as many business have started experiencing setback due to this high fees and other users of crypto like myself is currently experiencing difficulty because of this matter that arrived and its already creating a bad impression to first time newbie and potential major consumers of this service. This current situation only benefits the miners and it needs to be corrected soon because time is going and more negative vibes are created because of this current crisis.
2250  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If you had a time traveling machine, then? on: May 07, 2023, 07:59:29 PM
If I could travel back in time there are so many things I’d do & if I’m honest, buying bitcoin earlier probably isn’t one of them. I have done well in bitcoin, sure I could have bought earlier. If I could travel back in time though I would probably spend more time with relatives who are no longer here (sorry to be boring).

Lol, good one mate you caught me there. When reading your reply I thought you would say something similar to buying as much as you can as the price has suddenly risen ten times since it early years. But if am I to go back I would definitely sell my whole stuff which is not useful and my little land I inherited from my dad and put it all in an investment in bitcoin but that if I knew the price is going to rise this much.
2251  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: May 07, 2023, 07:52:43 PM
Italy seems to be taking over international football again. The Italian teams have become much stronger at the top in recent years, I think. 2 teams now in the semi-finals of the El (And also in the CL). There is a significant chance that we will get the final between Juventus and AS Roma. Didn't we think when Juventus were eliminated in the group stage of the CL. The level was not good then, but they are clearly favorites against Sevilla. But Sevilla is a team that has also performed well in Europe in recent years and has also won this cup more often than Juventus. However, that is of course mainly because Juventus is normally active in the CL. In that respect, Sevilla is unlucky that they always finish behind Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid and the CL is quite difficult to reach.
Yeah the Italian teams have performed so brilliantly this season and deserved all spot they are currently in. I remember few season back it was the English teams that were dominant when it comes to European football but now the tides have change and the italian teams have come to the lime light of focus. But with all this, we still might not see an Italian team come out victorious because in the champions league Madrid and Manchester city are still there and this two team are the most favorite to win that trophy.
2252  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: May 07, 2023, 07:26:06 PM
Therefore it is best to set the entertainment goal over the profit goal. It also helps to avoid frustrations. Just enjoy spending within your means and only gamble with the amount of money that you can afford to lose.

You are correct, but the truth is that people reason differently; there are people who take it to be more of an entertainment to them, whereas the winning that comes after they just see as an additional excitement for them. But either way, I see that gambling is just a two-sided thing, one for fun and another for gamblers to try out their luck and earn some money. There are people who really depend on the aspect of making money from gambling; some people also see it as just a side hustle, and others fully enjoy it as fun. So what matters now is what any gambler would see gambling as. While I love gambling for fun with my friends, I also enjoy the wins that come off it, which make me feel happier.
Hmmm interesting, "people actually depend on gambling to make money " this is a statement I don't like seeing but notwithstanding some Hippocrates feel they can actually make steady money from gambling where as the case is different meaning gambling actually makes money from you on a daily basis. I hate to see people taking gambling as a way to escape from your financial problems because has made many folks become debtors but that I believe happens to only folks that see it as a must do affair #addiction
2253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: May 07, 2023, 07:10:37 PM
There goes the season for United. a backlog at West Ham United. Always a tough game but they can't lose it, can they? Very favorable for Newcastle, which itself loses to Arsenal today. Arsenal have been very good all season, but City are slightly better, especially in the last few weeks. Arsenal must be on a kind of pink cloud right now. But on the other hand also frustrating because there is 1 team that is just a bit better. In any case, we will see Arsenal again in the CL next season, it was about time that the Gunners started playing there. After all, that was a while ago. I remember Arsenal being undefeated champions of England once, they were really good. With Bergkamp etc.
West Ham has just netted the post of Man united. I don't even know whose fault it was,either De Gea or the 3 defenders who allow Benrahma to pass through them and took a light short which De Gea couldn't stop even if his hand touched the ball. Manchester united are not playing pretty good,Anthony just missed a good right angle shot which he played but West Ham goalkeeper push it to the corner side of the post. The host are playing confidently at home and the game is getting interesting right now.
WHU 1-0 MUN
Manchester united always seem to find it hard playing with teams within the top ten in the league table, they have lost to so many teams and are currently losing again to this west ham side and they know fully well how the competition for the top four position looks very tight, if they actually they lose this game tonight it will be two straight matches ending in a lost which is bad competition for them. As for arsenal today, a big victory for them as inform ordegard strives to keep in check with their premier league title dreams

It will be an easy win for Man City. Their level is far above Leeds, and they completely dominate the game. If we look at their performance in the first half, I don't think Leeds has a chance in this match. I predict Man City will win by more than 4 goals.
the first half Manchester City had won 2 goals and of course this would be a win already for Manchester City who played in front of their own supporters.
at the moment Manchester City are in their best form and I think it will be very difficult for other teams to be able to block it especially with great motivation for them to win the Premier League title this season of course they will play with full strength in the continued Preier League matches this season.
Manchester City got a great win. In fact, there is currently no team that can beat Manchester City easily. The Manchester City team is now considered to be one of the best clubs in the world. This team has a good chance of securing the title in both English Premier League and Champions League.
Manchester City didn't win big, they only won with a score of 2-1 but that was enough for them to get 3 additional points and get closer to winning the Premier League this season.
I see that Manchester City is currently not too ambitious to win the match with a convincing score, because they must be able to save their key players for other important matches such as the UCL semifinals against Real Madrid.
At this present stage of the league, I don't think Manchester city needs to be score any much goals because they are currently in chase of the league title any amount of goal that will warrant a single goal and secure the three point in welcome by pep guardiola as a glorious victory. This Manchester team are not a team to be messed with because they have struggle with covering up with the gap arsenal had on them and now that they have a glimpse towards that, I don't think they are going to mess it up.

Chelsea so far has performed not so badly as expected from them Grin and funny enough I actually place a bet on them to lose the game but so far it has been a draw until  the 82 and 87 minutes were they managed to convert two changes and now currently lead by three goals to one. A nice victory for them and at least they have finally broke the dead lock of so many streak of loses and frank lampard I feel will sleep tonight with his both eyes close after such miserable start for him.
2258  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: May 06, 2023, 01:32:17 PM

Liverpool vs Brentford could be 50:50, for Liverpool it is clear that they are chasing the target difference in points even though there are 4 more matches left that doesn't mean Liverpool will just give up. The reason is, the narrower the opportunity to reach 4th place in the standings increasingly demands they not lose even 1 game.
Despite Brentford being in a good form, I believe Liverpool should have more chances to win this game. It is always difficult for many teams to defeat Liverpool at Anfield, and it might be especially difficult for Brentford.Brentford was able to overcome them in their first leg, but this time around, I can claim that because Liverpool is in better shape than at the beginning of the season.
The match between Bournemouth vs Chelsea is going to start shortly. I don't understand which team will win the match between these two teams. But Bournemouth and Chelsea are almost at the same position in the points table. Chelsea is now at the 12th position. Bournemouth is now  Number 13 is in the station. In this match between the two teams I supported Bournemouth team. I hope Bournemouth team players will play well today but if Bournemouth team players cannot play well then Bournemouth will not win the match today.

Yes, I do think that it will be difficult to forecast the result of the match between Bournemouth and Chelsea.However, after looking at the two clubs' current records, I believe Bournemouth has a better chance of winning or drawing against Chelsea today.But if Chelsea picks up their form and defeats Bournemouth, I won't be surprised because I think they have better players than Bournemouth. Let's wait and see how Chelsea will perform in today's match. Chelsea needs to win this game in order to avoid being relegated because they have tougher games ahead against teams like Manchester City Manchester united and Newcastle who are fighting for every point.
Liverpool, like Chelsea, are performing poorly this season, but Liverpool were able to pull themselves together at the end of the season and now they are in really good form... I think Liverpool will win this home game against Brentford... As for Chelsea, I also think they can lose away to Bournemouth... I never thought I would write this about Chelsea, but unfortunately I do...
Well its no new thing that the both teams have been under performing but unlike Liverpool, Chelsea had to go through a lot of new transition and changes while Liverpool on the other hand had been the same with their manager and same old players, they only had to amend to the absence of their main man sadio mane which took them longer than was expected. Chelsea had to  lose ownership to another person which has also contributed this to failure of theirs.
2259  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have You Experienced Winning Bets By Upsets on: May 05, 2023, 10:48:33 PM

i tried betting a small amount for the underdog to win.
when i saw 3x for the underdog to win regardless of the method, i bet $5 just to try it. i have won some but most of my bet for the underdog is a loss. it just means that you gotta believe what the bookmakers are saying about the odds. i just can't get out my head that sometimes the most unexpected happens.
Yeah I guess the unexpected things in gambling are the reasons gambling feels like so much fun. And the bookmakers are not always correct when it comes to fixing of odds, you can take for example the series of loses that Chelsea have experience these past weeks, the odds given to them to win these games were actually smaller than their opponent like for example the game between them and these two teams ASTON VILLA and BRENTFORD. In these two matches the odd given to chelsea was smaller meaning that have higher chances of winning but both games ended a loss for them.
