OP must the miner be Baikal? You need to find a more profitable miner and they are costly, since these miners aren't BTC miner the returns on investment is not so great, I believe Antiminer L7 is very good for Dogecoin + LTC mining, even Digibyte coin too you will make good 28$ profits per day after covering electricity expenses.

$28 profit a day on digibyte?  I think on average L7s after electric are coming in at around $14 a day profit or around $5000 a year.  At their current resale price ypu won't break even for a long time at these prices.  That's without mergemining doge or some other auxpow coin I believe so maybe there is some more money to be had.

Zilliqa coin i like to invest. what is your opinion on that ? any holders please explain

2025 is quite a long time for any altcoin.  There is no way anyone in this thread can come close to a realistic recommendation on if this will work out or not.  For one no one can ever predict the altcoin market as a whole in 3 years away.  And then second a singular coin can flop in one week let alone 3 years.  If you are bullish on it, buy it stash it away and cross your fingers.  Any analysis here will be useless for you to take or use realistically.

This really should be in the marketplace or service section of the forum no?  With that being said are people really still paying for this service?  I mean anyone who does its essentially a useless coin you are making.  I wouldn't trust anyone who has to outsource their code development to a bitcoin forum lol.  Either way good luck, capitalism at its best!

Do only 50% bet 20$ every time if it fails do 60$ it fails do 150$ if it fails do 350$ if it fails do 900$ if it fails do 2300$

There is no way you will fail 7 times and if you do just increase the bet and you will get it back eventually even if you wait 12 times.

what you think on my method?

There is no way you fail 7 times?  Yeah there is lol.  This method has been tried over and over.  While it works "most" of the time, when it doesn't it will completely wipe you out.  Look up martingale method.  It we essentially is to continually double your loss so that when you win net/net ypu are even and then you start again from the beginning. 
2265  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 06, 2022, 07:34:50 PM
Definitely some trouble brewing in the Warriors training camp.  Draymond Green and Jordan Poole had a fight yesterday because Jordan Poole scored on Draymond in a scrimmage and then called him a "triple single."  Meaning he doesn't get double digits in any stats during a game.  An interview with Klay Thompson after winning a 3 point contest (against Steph and Poole) had him saying the best part of the win was to "humble Jordan Poole."  When Jordan Poole then interrupted the interview with his own microphone, Klay said that Poole was coming for the reporters' jobs too.  I think it's pretty clear the Warriors are getting frustrated with the young guys wanting a piece of the pie.  I wouldn't be surprised if the Warriors signed Poole to an extension just to make him a more valuable trading piece.

He better be careful, Warriors know what makes them the money.  The original 3 are the golden goose for that team both in games in in theor profit margin.  Even if the kid is getting good its almost addition by subtraction sometimes.  Ypu want to make sure those 3 are going into the season with a clear head.

Lebron came out on espn and said he wants a Crack at owning a club in Vegas if Adam silver puts one there.  Am I the only one who thinks the NBA shouldn't expand?  I think the talent level will only get diluted even more with more teams.  Some of these teams at the bottom are terrible to watch on a nightly basis.  If anything I wish they could elinate some of these franchises lol.

Anyone that says shib is like bitcoin is just a plain shill.  It is nothing like bitcoin other than it is a crypto currency lol.  Be careful of people saying X coin is like Y coin.  They usually tend to be way off in terms of comparison.

Looking forward to seeing Ben Simmons make his debut with the Nets tonight for their first preseason game. I don’t know how many minutes he’ll get with KD and Kyrie, if they play at all. It will be good to see him back out there though. The game is pretty much meaningless, but I didn’t really think I’d ever see those 3 play together so it should be a good watch.
I confess that I'm also looking forward to watching this game, I have no doubt that other people are too!

If that actually happens, it would be very interesting to see them playing together and see at least for a few minutes the chemistry between them, even though it's a pre-season game, it would be valid

I think a lot of people are.  I'm actually rooting for this kid and hopes he makes it in tes of getting his head together.  I like that Nash said he doesn't care if he never shoots.  I know he doesn't mean it but shows at least the organization is behind him.  With Durant amd kyrie on the court he doesn't need to shoot much at all.
2270  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think this is gambling? [Collectibles & Gambling] on: October 03, 2022, 09:55:53 PM
Good afternoon.
I would like to know your opinion about this: the other night I found a YT channel where a guy bought a box of Yu-Gi-Oh cards, this box was of the first set released back in early 2000's called "Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon".

https://youtu.be/3_yCLmm2qOw

The exotic part of this video is the fact these boxes are sold for over 25,000$ and only one pack of the box can be worth about 1000$.

You can some examples here:

www.ebay.com/itm/115470621070
www.ebay.com/itm/115505412383

This guy bought and proceed to (painfully) open each of the packs inside the box, because there are chances to find cards worth thousands of dollars themselves:

www.ebay.com/itm/334566973621
www.ebay.com/itm/284845253155
www.ebay.com/itm/165705601129
www.ebay.com/itm/274989636523



Do you consider doing this a form of gambling?
Would you dare to do the same thing for the sake of earning money or do you think it would be a bad idea?

I personally think it would be a bad idea since the chances of pulling out a good card is fairly small, one needs to really like the game/cards in order to open an unsealed box of such value.





If you are buying purely for price appreciation then yes of course it is.  There is a chance it plummets or skyrockets.  It's just as much gambling as buying metals, stocks, anything that is bought for price appreciation.  It probably has a more limited downside than straight betting but it is still gambling with your money.
2271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 03, 2022, 05:47:24 PM
I don't think that they are done though with the experiment, it's that after Gasol left or those part of their winner team, they haven't seen the perfect fit. There's so much expectation with Howard join, but we all know what happened, they break up. Until Kobe retires and they were able to just get so-so players. Lebron and AD comes, find the perfect pieces, win a ring. Then they let most of their support cast for reason, try to rebuild last year but it was a failure. Now they added new faces they years so let's see if this is a success or another failure.

They traded Kuzma and KCP to get Westbrook and went for a 3-superstar lineup without supporting roles and they got punished by that move. They even let go of Caruso who was phenomenal in their championship run. He was good in offense and defense but the lakers tried a cheap offer on him and he walked away. That were 3 good players the Lakers let go that could have meant another championship for them.

That's the trade that LeBron wanted to make, so they appeased him.  He now wanted to dump Westbrook for Kyrie but it seemed like the Lakers organization wasn't willing to pay the tax/fees involved to make it happen.  They said no to LeBron, which I think is probably the second time that's happened to him in his career.  I wonder if that will be enough to send him searching for another team again...  The irony is that the Lakers wanted to get DeRozan instead of Westbrook, but LeBron and AD wanted Russ.  Then DeRozan goes on to have the best year of his career as an MVP candidate while Westbrook spends the end of games on the bench. 

No way the bets were going for that anyway.  They know they are a good team with Durant and kyrie on the floor together.  Will that happen a ton this season, who knows.  But I don't buy all the news that Nets would have dived into that trade.  Durant and russ back together, all they would need would be Harden back lol.

I wake up early anyway, but in all honesty I was hoping the Manchester derby (Premier League Soccer) would be broadcast.  Nope, the NFL has a lot of clout with US TV providers, and I'm sure they don't want the broadcast competition.

Have you guys noticed all the fat gold-chains in stands?  Do people London think all Americans dress like Gangsta Rappers, lol?

Play on the New Orleans Mardi Gra beads?






EDIT:

HOLY Shit 60 Yards Baby!!!





Hey, I just noticed all the 1-2 teams are playing 2-1 Teams this week!

Would be cool if it was all tied up at the end of the week! Cheesy

That game was awesome.  Lutz drilled a 60 yarder only to clank the 61 yards minutes later to tie the game.  That had to been the game of the weekend right there.  It was a little slow but that 4th quarter was dramatic.  Close second was the Seattle 48- lions 45 game.  Wish I took the over on that one lol.

Bonus football today.  I kinda like these London games being on the east coast.  West coast US that's 630 in the morning a little early lol.  But for me there is football from 930am to 12pm.  Complete washout of a day on the east coast so perfect day for football Smiley
2274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 02, 2022, 02:36:48 PM
I have not heard of any new players joining the Lakers who are young and have great potential. LeBron James is getting old and it is obvious that his age is taking a toll on his performance. Looking at the Lakers team right now, we will see good experience and good players who have been around before. Anthony Davis is probably the only player who is reliable but I don't know if he is someone whom you can build a team around. Russell Westbrook and LeBron James are just too old right now. The Lakers are obviously going to have big changes in the future but till then it will be interesting to see how they can perform.
Yes, Anthony Davis is a player whom they can build a team around. Maybe Lakers will keep him for long even after Lebron James retires. It's not easy to find a big man like him who can shoot outside, has good freethrow percentage, and can-do post up plays perfectly.
It could because of what happened before when they have Lonzo, Randle, Kuzma, DLo in their roster, it failed, and it traumatized them to repeat that kind of mistake again. That's why they are not recruiting young guns.
No doubt he can be effective, probably one of the best centers now, however, if he gets injured most of the time, that would make the Lakers struggle especially in the playoffs because it was very evident that without Davis they cannot win against good teams in the NBA.

Hopefully this season to come he will be able to play more games, especially in the playoffs where he is needed the most.

It is likely that he will be the most important player for the Lakers if he can stay healthy. The only problem is that he is quite prone to injuries. The only reason I said that he is not someone reliable around whom a team can be built is because he is quite injury-prone. There is no doubt that the Lakers need him this season because without him I believe that the Lakers are going to be a failure in the playoffs this year. Furthermore, he is not an old man either. As a result, he will be able to provide his services to the team for a longer period of time. It is at least a long period of time compared to LeBron James and Russell.

That's the key, injury free.  If he can stay on the court there aren't too many players with his skill set.  Force underneath but can drag opposing centers outside of the paint because his shooting.  He can dominate down low, etc.  I always loved AD'S game.  With that being said, pre season is here!! Feels like forever during the offseason.  
2275  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this statiscally possible in a lottery? on: October 02, 2022, 02:32:34 PM
Yesterday, many people were surprised on the result of our lottery. The number that came out were are all divisible by nine. There are many speculations now that the lottery is rigged and the result was already fixed. It's just hard to believe that since they always do live draw to show transparency about the result. What do you think? Is this really possible in lottery?

Pure coincidence.  There are zillions of lotteries around the world, that continually run.  Given enough time there are many odd number groups that come out.  This is just as hard to happen as hitting the lottery which people do so I see no reason to believe anything like this would insinuate cheating. 
2276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 01, 2022, 04:27:35 PM

Let's see if this new coach can guide the team more than Ime so that their efforts won't be in vain.



The new coach needs to work more since they are the runner-up and the expectation for this team is high.

He needs to make sure that the team is still intact and the chemistries that they've established while coach Udoka still
around should be remain or better to be enhanced now that it's the assistant coach term to mentor the entire team
they need to work together and continue the chase on the winning the NBA crown.

After reaching the NBA Finals, we are expecting that they will start stronger this season but I'm afraid that is not the case for them this season because as we know, the Boston Celtics now are so fed up with many incidents that have happened lately. Not just in the coaching staff but including the players as well that played a vital role last season.

Danilo Gallinaro - Injured (expected to miss the whole season)
Robert Williams III - Injured (expected to miss the first two months of the season)
Ime Udoka - Suspended for the whole season

I get it that Boston has had an up and down offseason especially lately but I don't think it effects them that much.  Danilo was t even on the finals team last year so he would have given them a boost but they made it there without them.    Robert Williams has pretty much always been hurt and been in and out of the lineup so long as he can get back after the new year they will be fine especially with the pickup of Griffen lately.  And yeah the coach got it. We don't know what we don't know, the coaching staff might end up being better off without him time will tell.

2278  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: September 30, 2022, 09:12:51 PM
This is an unfortunate event not only for Tua, but for the NFL as a whole.

I don't give a shit if the kid ever plays football again.  There are far more important things in life, like being coherent enough to watch your children grow up, and teach them how to ride a bike.  If it turns out that the Dolphins knew of a head injury from Sunday's game, and then let him start on Thursday, heads (and a lot dollars) will roll.  I have no patience or tolerance for those who'll put productivity above human safety.  Nothing else matters.  Even if it turns out that the stumbling last Sunday was a result of a back injury, that is a dereliction of duty by the coaching staff.

We've all been injured before, and we all know of how an injury can cause us to change our mechanics when doing the simplest things.  Washing dishes can exacerbate a back injury, let alone being body slammed.

Unfortunately the culture of football also ingrains into the young men that injuries are a part of the game, and if you can't play through your injuries you're not tough enough.  This needs to change.  The other thing that needs to change is defenses specifically targeting injuries when tackling another player.  We saw this last Thursday night when Herbert was playing with sore ribs.  We even saw it a few plays before Tupou body-slammed Tua.  Tupou went for Tua's ankle, again targeting a specific area he knew was causing Tua trouble.  That's just bullshit and shouldn't be tolerated.  Defensive players who do that should be ejected from games, and possibly banned from the league.

Unfortunately these types of discussions have happened regularly for decades that I can remember.  I remember similar discussions when Joe Montana was suffering from back injuries when he still played for the Niners in the late 80's.  Whenever something tragic happens the topic is high on everyone's radar, but a few months later it's forgotten about.  I know the league has been making changes over time to combat injuries, specifically head injuries, but these changes seem to come slowly, if at all.

This will be a turning point I think.  Poor kid was thrown out there to die.  No way with all the technology they didn't know he was concussion to begin with.  Any sign at all nfl is just going to have to shut them down for a long while.  Kid may never be right ever again and I'm not talking football I'm talking in life like you said.  I love football but not like this.  He should have NEVER been out there.
2279  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 30, 2022, 09:10:07 PM
I still think NBA needs to reconsider this cap space thing, we are at a level where almost every team is above the allowed cap space with just 3 players, and if not, at maximum 5-6 people passes it easily, meaning you cannot build a decent "team", you build a great core and terrible helpers around them which makes no sense to me. We need to raise the cap space a bit, just a bit, but also drop what the biggest names could make, 50+ million levels is not acceptable, doesn't leave enough for anyone else.

Or they should stop overpaying some athletes so they can make space for other good athletes to join their club. Also, they can always pay the luxury tax if they really want to pay big and get more athletes.

And, if you have maxed your salary cap with just 5-6 players, you are already a superteam. If you raise the cap, then some teams will just hoard all the stars and there will be no more competitiveness in the league.

Clarkson cannot technically go to Lakers because Lakers do not have a cap space available and Clarkson is not a minimum contract guy. He would probably either stay, or leave to a team that could pay him a good amount, otherwise it doesn't make sense for him to take a cut.

If they trade westbrook, it will create a LOT of space. WB is eating a chunk of LA Lakers cap.

I agree, that's what separates the good teams from the best.  Cost allocation and identifying steals that are undervalued.  In baseball it tends to be the team that spends the most has a good shot to be there in the end.  With caps it helps level the aging field.  If they raise the cap and lower the amount someone can make it only means they will give lower level players more money.  The talent is what it is, that won't change with caps or maxes
2280  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 30, 2022, 07:58:09 PM
On the contrary, I think the Jordan Clarkson will get traded the soonest and I was hoping that he will go the Lakers again and play with Bron.

I don't care which team but I would love to see Jordan Clarkson traded to any teams that are capable of reaching the playoffs. I don't want him to stay in a rebuilding team and waste his prime years.

Clarkson with the Lakers will be good for the team and his career too. He can be a perfect alternative when Bron and AD take their rest. He can even play in the first five to confuse the opposing team's defense. Schroder, Clarkson, Bron, and AD together in the court would be offensively deadly.

True, Clarkson's talent will be wasted if he will still remain and play for the Utah Jazz or to guide the younger ones, He's just not suitable for it. There's a rumor that Bucks and Grizzlies are interested to get him but up until now there's no news on the nearest possibility, he will be so useful if he can play for Bucks or Grizzlies. But for Lakers? They are already stacked especially in point guards and I don't see that the Lakers has something to give for the Jazz in-exchange for Clarkson. I'm sure that the Lakers aren't ready to give up their future picks for the time being.

I think he'd be wasted on Memphis, they are loaded right now.  He would absolutely be perfect out on the Bucks.  He can play his 6th man role and would be complimentary to what they are doing out there.  The issue would be what the Bucks would have to give up for Clarkson.
