OP, before making angry rant, please check thing because your thread wasn't deleted, just moved to another board. Now you just did "Shoot first, ask questions later". And mods probably were right by moving your topic to altcoin board. It wasn't related to Bitcoin at all.
P.S. What is "two page post"? Your posts consist 3 sentences, not 2 pages. But it have 2 (now 3) pages of replies.
P.S.2 Number of replies to your topic isn't sign of quality. Actually, more replies topic get, more likely it will turn into spam megathread.

Losing away to Germany can happen, even to the best teams. We all remember how Brazil fared against them in WC after all. But a team like England loosing to Hungary at home is embarrassing, even more so when it is 4:0 defeat and Southgate brings on Maguire to stop conceding more Smiley Proper clown show as you say.
After all, 5:2 score doesn't looks so bad, but the way how Germany played they were able to score 7 or 8 goals.
Embarrasing isn't strong enough word to describe England performance. Yeah, it's just Nations League, but it doesn't makes it less shameful. It was biggest England defeat since 1928!
2384  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io UEFA Nations League Prediction Pool Discussion Thread on: June 14, 2022, 08:39:24 PM
LOL, I don't know what is worse? Getting crushed at home by Hungary 0:4 or destroyed by Germany 5:2. Probably first one Cheesy. But both Italy and England were so awful today and such results resembles game. Who could have thought that Hungary after 4 games will lead group with Germany, Italy and England. It's likely that Italy and England next game will be fight for place in League A.
When I already thought that I lost my ticket, Nethlerlands managed to score and win game in next attack after Wales equalised score.
And from lower league, Montenegro winning big away against Romania 0:3 is another big upset.

I remember that I saw such cases few times, but I'm not sure that it was AndySt. But I think it was sentence or two, rather than just word "Yes". I even replied to one of such posts and later I noticed that this post was edited. So, my quote looked strange when minds in edited post were far from original one.
It's strange behaviour and it would be interesting to hear position from @AndySt. It wouldn't be something very bad if he wouldn't wear paid signature. In this way of posting advertisers don't get results what they wanted.

I don't know why someone would force themselves to stay active posting and receive payments from certain campaigns if they don't have enough time to be active as expected.
You really don't know answer? It's money, what is big factor to force yourself to post, even if you don't have time for it.

Australia have qualified to World Cup after beating Peru in penalty shootout.
Whole match wasn't nice to watch, there were no many dangerous moments, so, nothing surprising that game went to penalties. Australia missed first penalty, but it didn't stopped them and last Peru penalty was saved by goalkeeper.
I said that Australia is understimated too much. Tomorrow New Zealand - Costa Rica.
2387  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: What role are faucets and freebitco.in playing in BTC mining? on: June 13, 2022, 08:56:25 PM
I'm not sure where  did you got information that faucets mine Bitcoin. No, they simply give away Bitcoins which were already mined. From where they get it? If we talk just about Freebitco.in, in simple words they are paying Bitcoins which were lost by other people on this website. It's very simplified answer without going deep into details.
Other faucets paying Bitcoins that they got as revenue from advertising networks.
In 2010 Gavin Andersen launched first ever Bitcoin faucet which wasn't commercial  and gave 5 BTC for every user. But still, these BTC already were mined by him before, it wasn't made by faucet.

Convince Zelensky to resume peace talks? If they really will try to do that, they will come to wrong man. As already said many times, Ukraine are ready for peace talks, but Russia don't show any intentions to negotiate.

I can relate, OP. I'm in Bitcoin world for relatively long time, but I can't say that my knowledge is advanced. Actually, I'm not even trying to go deep into technical details - it's dark forest for me. I'm not geek and these complicated technical things is difficult for me.
And I don't think that all this advantage knowledge is needed for average user. For geeks, yes, it's interesting, but not everyone can be geek. Same like you don't have to know how to build your PC from scratch in order to use it.

I appreciate creating this thread, but sorry if I didn't find any benefit. How you explain a football club can represent Bitcoin with its players alone doesn't necessarily have full support for Bitcoin. It is difficult to say the form of its embodiment.

But let's enjoy the rest.
I also don't get how this Fantasy Football kind of thread is related to Bitcoin and why such team would be called Bitcoin football club.
I would understand such thing if you would add players only who would have at least minimal relation to Bitcoin. For example, someone who endorsed some crypto projects.

When I looked at the rosters, I was shocked. Benzema, the football player who marked this season, is not in the squad. Without a doubt, he would be the football player I would write at the top.Also, don't forget Ronaldo.Still the best in the world.
Well, that's individual choice. You miss Benzema, I can't understand how it's possible not to add Lewandowski. And Ronaldo still best in the world? C'mon... With all respect, but no

It annoys me how Hamilton and the rest of the Mercedes associates whine about the health hazards of bouncing/dolphining cars and that the regulations need to be changed because of this to keep the drivers healthy. Only a couple of teams have problems, the rest were able to make a good car and settings - why is it necessary to change the regulations because of a few losers? Let Mercedes increase the clearance to lose speed and to preserve the health of the riders.
Actually, it's not just Mercedes and Hamilton. Sainz, Gasly, Ricciardo also complained about bouncing. And on that ling straight it looked really painful.
Though, I'm not sure that changes in regulation is needed. As Norris said, teams can adjust height and reduce bouncing, but they will have to sacrisfy performance in this way.

In recent months I tend to not trust in things which comes from RU. And you didn't managed to start your service in positive way. You'we been trusted since 2015, but you launched just recently. You contradicting yourself. Things doesn't looks good.
Tell me at least one reason, why I should risk my BTC and try your service when there is at least several trusted mixers in the market.
2393  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Questions about signature campaign and its rules. on: June 12, 2022, 08:31:17 PM
I won't be able to answer you better than manager of campaigns did, but I'll try to give my point of view:
1. It's agreement between company and manager. Before launching campaign they discuss rates according to budget and length of campaign.
2. Again, it's agreement between manager and company. Users with Member rank is hired more rarely because their signature is less visible because of limitations and they can't wear avatar.
3. They don't make money here, they trying to attract new customers. Some campaigns put tracking tags in signatures, there is some SEO things, like backlinks. Also, they attract users indirectly, similar like ads on TV or billboards in the streets. Maybe user won't click on signature, but if he will see that ad every day, it will stuck in his mind and maybe one day he will try that service.
4. In terms visibility you go with shitposts. But such campaign won't be such effective. Personally, I doubt that I will click on signature which is promoted by complete shitposters. Without prejudice, which signature is more likely to get click: post made by 1xbit shitposter or proper post made by Chipmixer participant?
5. Merit is just one of criteria. Manager can judge about quality of posts without looking how much merit user had earned.
6. Not a crime, but not advised. It won't increase your chances to get accepted, it can work only in negative way. You shouldn't do more than asked in form of application.
7. It depends on content of posts, but in general, if you post less, but for whole week, rather than reaching quota in 3 days, camapign will get more visibility.
8. Don't forget that forum have time gap restriction between poss for different rank. If we don't talk about burstposting, gaps between posts should be reasonable long enough for best visibility.
9. First, it's about target audience. For example, BestChange isn't related with gambling, so, why they would need posts in gabling board. Local boards is ignored because it's more complicated for manager to check quality of posts without knowing language. And some local boards isn't active enough, so, it wouldn't be cost effective to pay for posts there without getting much visibility. Boards like Altcoins or Politics and society is ignored because low quality of it.

With results of recent races, we are heading to possibility that this year we won't have fight for champions title. It would be sad, considering how season started. It's no chance that Red Bull will let Perez to fight for the title, while Verstappen's lead against Leclerc is already getting significant.
Ferrari, if they don't screw up race with their tactics, then it's ruined by reliabilty issues. It's sad to see how much bad luck this season Sainz have and in many cases it wasn't his fault. Ferrari should be concerned about reliabilty, Haas and Alfa Romeo cars with their engines also retired today because of technical issues.
And it's painful to see how mcu F1 cars is porpoising on straights. It was difficult race for Lewis, while Russel continue to deliver most stable results on the grid.
2395  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io UEFA Nations League Prediction Pool Discussion Thread on: June 11, 2022, 11:21:41 PM
I was doing more or less fine in betting... until today. 4 draws in League A. From all these games Hungary draw with Germany is biggest upset. Though, it's already not first time when Hungary proved that they can play with big teams. Netherlands draw with Poland isn't surprise for me. IMO, Poland was understimated too much, especially after that huge lose against Belgium. Yeah, Poland after scoring 2 goals defended most of time and Depay failed to score penalty on last minutes.
England - Italy game wasn't most sciting to watch, I expected something more. Final result relfect game very well.

Ecuador will play in World Cup, FIFA dismissed Chile complaint:
https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/61750691

I disagree with several option what happening with Ecuador, I know made mistake but replace with Ukraine as humanity or change with Italy as strong country and Chile are not good option. Third countries above totally failed on World Cup qualifier and how come they can participant on 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar? better keep giving chance for Ecuador and give punishment for player have made mistake, give penalty points for Ecuador after 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar edition. Crazy reason if giving chance to Ukraine, Italy or Chile participant on 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar after bad performance on qualifier.
It would be nonsense to replace Ecuador with Ukraine or Italy, but giving their place to Chile would be right decision. If all Ecuador points would be removed, Chile goes up to 4th place and qualifies to World Cup. I remember few years ago Real Madrid let not eligible player to play in Copa del Rey game and whole team was kicked out if tournament because of it. Anyway, Chile complaint already got rejected.

This is not true or not entirely true. Two citizens of Great Britain and one citizen of Morocco were convicted. As far as I know, the Englishman Sean Pinner is married to a Ukrainian, but this does not automatically make him a Ukrainian.
I don't know Ukraine laws good enough, but I'm not sure that person with Ukrainian citizenship can serve in Ukraine Army. Any way, it doesn't changes fact that they're regular part of Ukraine Army. It's not same as to serve in foreign legion or mercenary.

Quote
At the end of March, an international scandal erupted when many mainstream media published shocking videos of the torture and execution of Russian prisoners of war. A little later, in early April, Kyiv refused to comply with the Geneva Convention in relation to Russian prisoners of war. You have a very short and selective memory if you don't remember it.
My memory isn't selective, I remember that case. If it really happened and it's not fake (I don't talk about it as happened fact), it's war crime. But it's more individual case which don't reflect situation in Ukraine. If Ukraine wouldn't follow Geneva convention, internet would be full of videos like this one.

Donetsk region within Ukraine. Putin is a powerful man, but he has no power over the Supreme Court of a sovereign state (he doesn't even have power over Russia's Supreme Court).
On paper he don't have such power, but reality is a bit different. And it's fun to hear that Putin dodn't have power over Supreme Court of ''sovereign country, but at the same time he want to change path of sovereign country (Ukraine) and occupy as much as possible territory of it.

BTW, these POWs were members of the Ukrainian Army. You draw your own conclusions.
Yeah, they were regular membrers of Ukrainian army and they're Ukrainian citizens.

Russian soldiers have no illusions, they know what awaits them in Ukrainian captivity.
What exactly? I just remind that there is no death sentence in Ukraine, unlike in so called DPR. So, worst what can happen is life imprisonmet or more likely exchsnge with Ukrainian POW's. Ukraine, is following Geneva convention, unlike so called DPR or Russia.

If they kick them out they will probobly add Ukraine because of the war situation and get politics again into football.
So i wouldnt be surprised it they give them a wild card or something or maybe even Italy to get into the World cup because they got knocked out surprisingly
Football and sports always been mixed, it's nothing new. But I don't see Ukraine added to World Cup in place of Ecuador. Italy would be more likely, but I doubt that it will happen. Most likely IMO that team from same confederation will be added and it will be Chile. And it would be most fair decision in this situation.

Simply avoid BitPay at any cost. It's worst possible option, both for seller and customer. If Coingate and BitPay is only options for you, choose Coingate without thinking much. But if you're looking for more options, check Coinpayments or decentralised BTCPayServer.

As customer, i would avoid merchant which only use BitPay to accept cryptocurrency. There's exception when i really need service/goods offered by that merchant and can't be found elsewhere, but it never happened so far.
I'm doing same thing for few years already. And I don't know what should happen that I would be forced to use BitPay.

Those aren't the most likely countries to trade with (at least where I live). But I'm surprised to see New York on the list.
Yeah, most of these countries isn't most likely to trade with. I suppose that only Russia is added there not so long time ago and it it's quite big market.
