I personally think na hindi masyado worth it mag participate sa bounties given its track record din dito sa forum. I would also recommend participating sa campaign signatures as mas stable and guaranteed ang payments dito compared to bounties. In addition, ang dami nang campaign signatures ang lumalabas nowadays kaya you can take advantage of this situation habang maaga pa.

With regard sa negative trust mo, it is up to the discretion of the campaign manager if they are wiling to include users with negative trust. Though that may be the case, siguro mas mababa ang chances mo kung may negative trust ka kaya depende pa rin talaga sa manager if willing sila kumuha ng members na meron.

Based purely on my personal experience watching online tournaments live, cheating is almost non-existence if the players that consist of such are within the top 20 of the rankings. If those GMs that are within the top 20 participates in a tournament, you can almost guarantee that they will not be using any chess engine during the whole match due to the effects of it on their careers.

I would somehow understand if the players involve are within the range of 1700-2500 but when a tournament consists of players within the top 20, then I guess it is safe to bet on those games. I just hope that there will be websites that will consider chess gambling as it is really an underrated game to be betted on.

It does add an extra layer of protection on your part. Think of it as like a 2-factor authenticator; before you can log-in with your account, it asks for more information and authenticator by inputting the code sent to your phone/email.

Like what Rikaflip also mentioned, it is also a matter of convenience on your end where you get to see your BTC wallet balance on your account. The best way of getting protected is still not spilling your private keys in your wallet except to one trusted member of your family to add a layer of contingency in the event that some unfortunate event happens.

Like what I previously replied to this post, cryptocurrencies cannot save Russia from its financial turmoil given that Western businesses and products were pulled-out from their country. Though this might be the case, cryptocurrencies can somehow be a band-aid solution giving Russia some sort of circulation and liquidity on their transactions if they were to integrate cryptocurrencies in their projects.

Unfortunately, I do think that Russia will soon see and feel its effects slowly. Their economy may somehow be the downfall of their country if they could not pacify further the restrictions being implemented to their country.

Just a quick word, I've read an article before explaining that 97% of beginner day traders lose their money on their first experience and the remaining 3% earn only as much as a bank teller. This fact shows on how much risk is involved in day trading, though it can also be extremely rewarding if you exercise your methods/techniques well.

The essence of day trading focuses on experience. If you are a beginner with little-to-no experience, then I highly recommend trading relatively small amounts of resources in order to get an overview and feel on it.

Freebitcoi.in is a gambling website that has established its reputation in the internet as one of the most trusted and biggest websites. I doubt that they would pull any rugs under the table that could cost them years of reputation building. I would like to remind you OP that you are in a gambling environment- anything could happen as long as the odds permit it to be.

Again let me reiterate, a person could experience as much as winning 17 times in a row or losing 17 times in a row depending on your luck. Consider this as a bad day on your end and move on. If you are truly bothered by such experience, then feel free to contact their customer support in order to inquire on your problem.

Exactly! It is just truly a privilege that I am currently participating in campaign signatures due to their vast impact on my financials. Given that the nature and value of our currency in our country is relatively low compared to the currency of first-world countries, every bit of dollar counts as it can purchase you with loads of things.

But truly, it is just stunning to experience this kind of privilege and blessing at the same time- which I feel like I have the duty to share this method to my friends as it can impact their lives as much as it impacted mine.


I agree with you. Again, treating campaigns as a form of your primary income is putting oneself in a situation where the sword of Damocles is constantly hanging. It is too difficult to imagine if a person quits his current job in exchange for something that is not temporary in nature.

Definitely! If there is an opportunity to share my earnings and methods of earning BTC, I always share it to my friends and even to strangers whom I just recently talked to!

The reason on why I am always keen on sharing it because of its impact to me in my life. It changed on how I see payments and earning money in an alternative method. The fact that I am experiencing such privilege of earning BTC weekly is just truly a blessing that I am endowed to share to anyone- though if they do follow it, they are bound to know about cryptocurrencies from their experience.

I discovered this forum from my close friend way back in 2017 and I feel like I have this duty of spreading the word to anyone, hoping to change their lives the way it changed mine.

By answering your question in the spirit of the discussion, I think it is relatively risky to invest in cryptocurrencies if you plan on profiting on your investments. Due to its inflationary nature and value, its price may change every second/minute without any given notice, compared to all the available investment mechanisms present.

But, one thing that cryptocurrencies (BTC, to be specific) is relatively safe is that it can be a good store-of-value due to its significant and high value on the market. Many people have started investing into cryptocurrencies due to their value on the market. I guess that one of the benefits of having crypto is that you can always withdraw and cash them out without anywhere in the world.

I wholly agree with you.

While this may seem like a band-aid solution in order to further enhance their economic situation, their finances is still continuously collapsing due to the pull-outs of all western associated businesses in their country, following the necessary sanctions given. Again, miners in Russia should take advantage of this situation as their government seems to struggle and exhaust all the possible remedies to combat financial shortages on their part.

In the perspective of cryptocurrencies, I hope that this would bring a positive effect in general. By legalizing mining, this may somehow affect the price of BTC in which would be beneficial in the long run.

I mean, this entirely depends on your goal as an investor. There are people who HODL coins not for the purpose of earning a quick profit, but there are also some investors waiting for that perfect moment to cash-out their coins.

For example, people who focus more on the short-term aspect of investment may cash out their coins once the purchase price is higher than the acquired price they bought their coins. While this may be the case, others prefer to HODL their coins and cash out for maximum value- I guess minimum of 5-10 years of HODLing?

Will it be possible if you could share which country you are staying? That is very unfortunate to hear that such bias still exists in the 20th century given that lots of women fought for their rights and equality on their respective countries.


This is just straight up sexist. Again, in the 20th century, the society has recognized and understood that women and men are definitely equal. In fact, almost all of the jobs that were once viewed that only males can do, also females now can do. Even in gambling, in fact, there was a thread before stating that women can handle their emotions well on gambling.


Gambling should be available for everyone irrespective of one's gender. The fact that there are countries that has an unequal view between men and women is just really unfortunate. I hope they recognize that such bias cannot exist as there is practically no difference between the two genders.

I feel you and this experience also costed me an opportunity of not taking advantage of BTC's volatility and inflation.

Back in 2017, I was privileged enough to participate into various campaign signatures where I earned a handful amounts of BTC during my stay. Since the price of BTC was relatively low (around $5,000-$6,000), the denomination and pay of each campaign signatures where high. Due to financial difficulties, I had to cash out my BTCs weekly in order to provide for my education and materials since I was a college student at that time.

Fast forward to today's year, if I did not cash out my BTCs from all the campaign signatures I have participated, I would have saved at least $30,000+ which could have granted me an opportunity to purchase a car for my dad. That is why, this expensive lesson taught me something- to at least cash out my BTCs if I direly need them. I could have worked my ass-off by doing part-time jobs but I chose the easy way out.

I agree with the points that @mk4 mentioned above- may idea ka na ba kung anong cryptocurrency/ies yung pag iinvestan mo ba? If you answered all of his points, then doon ka makakagawa ng decision kung paano ka mag-iinvest.

Just to tell you my experience, nag start ako dito sa forum na to last 2017 where 1 BTC = ~p230,000. Akala ko nun una hindi na tataas presyo nito but here we are, 5 years from now, nasa mahigit ~p2.2m pesos na ang price niya. That is like 1000% ng increase ng price ng BTC over the course of 5 years kaya if you plan na mag invest dito, better start now and HODL it for long-term.

That is where the opportunity of working online comes into practice in situations like these. With the face of war affecting countries globally, it is but paramount for people to exhaust all of the possible ways in order to earn money, which includes working online with convenience. I guess that this forum has the best repository of such skill since people may demand some "digital skill", like you mentioned, under our services board.

As someone living in a third-world country, the opportunity of participating into campaign signatures is nothing but a blessing for me and my family. The fact that I have some emergency funds while paying for my own education is truly a blessing that I will never be thankful enough despite the face of war.

This is interesting- so the threat came from the idea that users might be involved in money laundering by using crypto payments? I think the possible remedy for this is to regulate their local exchanges with more KYC documents, if they have any. Though the problem lies on the fact that if people were to transact using globally/universally accepted exchanges, then it would be difficult for their government to track down their payments.

This is one of the negative effects of transacting cryptocurrencies but I do personally think that its positive effects outweigh such negative effects. The opportunity of integrating BTC into your financial method can have a positive impact in payments, in general.

As someone who grew up watching people playing video games and being surrounded by friends who also play, my gambling bets are heavily influenced on eSports. I can comfortably say that I have a relatively vast knowledge on some of the online games being betted on in some gambling websites, especially in Dota 2 and CSGO.

Again, you only bet on the things that you know and the stuff that you have knowledge on. If you bet on games or sports that you literally do not have any idea about the players, statistics, etc. then you are asking for some trouble or losses on your end.

Remember that the creation of all altcoins was based on the foundation that Bitcoin built on this innovative transaction method. Though there are some altcoins which introduced some innovations and technology that may try to replace BTC as the reigning crypto, the latter is still far superior.

In addition, it all boils down to the price and usage of such. While there may be altcoins that have functions that Bitcoin does not have, the fact that people still utilize and purchase the latter means that its price and usage would continue to outgrow any altcoin/s in the market.

Since there is no separate board for any chess related discussion on tournaments, I would start from here.

Congratulations for Magnus in winning the 2022 Charity Cup Meltwater Champions Chess Tour defeating Duda after two (2) days of playing. Duda was able to retaliate and snatch two wins which forced a tiebreaks but Magnus won the blitz. Props to Duda for defeating the current world champion in 26 moves but Magnus showed on why he is indeed the Chess Magician!

Personally, I would recommend using postimages.org website if you were to post any images in the forum. In addition, you must type it manually, for example:

and that code should come out like this:


The reason on why I prefer postimages.org is that you can adjust its size on the website itself, though you can manually do it here.
