Just a curiosity question.

Why would someone spend their Monero coins <10 blocks after receiving them?

Apparently its going to bite those just trying to wash their taint with Monero then dump. Cheesy

Not sure why I find this amusing but I do. Wink

Just one more "liquidity injector" printing their own institutional tokens that will never be backed by actual bitcoins.

I am not sure this is the case. Bitcoin is hard money, no printing is possible, leveraged position must be funded.

Let’s keep it simple
When I buy a share of this mutual fund, ProFund buy a futures, the futures market maker buys a bitcoin.
Hence, no leverage, no printing, no dilution.

Yes lets keep it simple just like NotBakkt and CME create liquidity by selling non existent tokens that suck market cap from the real deal.

Try the smoke and mirrors on the weak minded it doesn't work on me.

There is NO funding going on.

Unless you call the institutional filling their bags with the real thing while they make it legal for the sheeple to buy these bullshit tokens instead.

I tried the mock draft already. It was very confusing and I was very overwhelmed. It made me pick the players that I do not know and have not heard of hehehe.


This is the entire reason to do the mock draft so that this does not happen to you during the real draft.

Now keep doing them until you feel comfortable.

If you see a guy that gets fought over alot then research that person. Wink

Quite an important news I would say:



https://twitter.com/bitcoinmagazine/status/1420388522893185025?s=21

Ah! Already opened a thread directly from the beach
First U.S. Bitcoin mutual fund launched by ProFunds


And yet another institutional scam to dilute scarcity that creates the value built into the system.

Quote
For now, the Bitcoin Strategy ProFund invests in Bitcoin futures contracts, and the fund holds no actual bitcoin, which creates two degrees of separation between investors and the sats they increasingly seek shelter from inflation in.

Just one more "liquidity injector" printing their own institutional tokens that will never be backed by actual bitcoins.

The developers of Monero have revealed a rather significant bug that can affect the confidentiality of user transactions
"If users spend funds immediately after the blocking time in the first 2 blocks allowed by the consensus rules (~20 minutes after receiving funds), then there is a high probability that the output data can be identified as true expenses", the developer reports on twitter



Quote
This does not reveal anything about addresses or transaction amounts. Funds are never at risk of being stolen. This bug persists in the official wallet code today.

Quote
Users can substantially mitigate the risk to their privacy by waiting 1 hour or longer before spending their newly-received Monero, until a fix can be added in a future wallet software update. A full network upgrade (hard fork) is not required to address this bug.


Seems like a feature, you cant just buy then spend!

But after the 11:46 p.m. alert came in, a ShotSpotter analyst manually overrode the algorithms and “reclassified” the sound as a gunshot. Then, months later and after “post-processing,” another ShotSpotter analyst changed the alert’s coordinates to a location on South Stony Island Drive near where Williams’ car was seen on camera.

I would not mind sliding into and staying in a 42-44 slot for as long as we have been playing in the 32-34 slot.

Once I find a mobile wallet I like, it takes a lot to make me switch.  But the headache of syncing a million blocks with monerujo on a new phone is making me rethink.  It's slow (hours), and I've had to force stop the app several times.
How does cake wallet compare in the syncing from scratch department?

I just opened them both this morning and the cake one had my balance immediately.

Of course I wouldn't trust a phone wallet with anything but pocket change.

When will we drafting hehe.

Can anyone also give me some advice on how to do the draft? Do you use pen and paper and write down your picks and have a plan b and plan c if your chosen player is picked by someone else? Advice me please hehe.

I don't know about espn site but there should be a way to edit your draft list and that is what I do to put guys in the order I think they should be in so when I draft the list is already the way I want guys and if something happens and I get an auto draft then a guy I want won't get passed on if someone thats rated higher is available.

2496  Economy / Speculation / [arstechnica] Nuclear power’s reliability dropping as extreme weather increases on: July 24, 2021, 05:57:33 PM
Quote
With extreme weather causing power failures in California and Texas, it's increasingly clear that the existing power infrastructure isn't designed for these new conditions. Past research has shown that nuclear power plants are no exception, with rising temperatures creating cooling problems for them. Now, a comprehensive analysis looking at a broader range of climate events shows that it's not just hot weather that puts these plants at risk—it's the full range of climate disturbances.

Seems to me like football’s popularity is fading fast. I’m finding more and more basketball fans or fighting fans and less and less football supporters these days. I can’t help but blame their management. Some of it might also have to do with the brutality of the sport and the brain issues being made public by former players, but I feel like they’ve got a long way to go before the NFL figures out a way forward.

Yeah right and that's why American football is being adopted all over the world.


3rd spot nice.  I still have to get payment over.  I will send it over by the end of the weekend.  Have we figured out a draft date yet?  Can't wait for the season to start feels like forever ago last season ended.  Looking forward to the giants competing for a solid playoff spot this year.


Shit man I thought I was doomed being a Pats fan but in comparison I feel blessed!

At least we can both be happy we're not Jets fans!



8th pick      DireWolfM14

Okay, so the hash-gods are plotting against me?  Typical, after such a difficult childhood.  I've had to deal with adversity all my life.  My mother abandoned me on a daily basis, leaving me to fend for myself among other uneducated derelicts and screaming yard-duties.  These traumatic experiences only strengthened my will, not only to survive, but to also succeed.  

Draft order is a bit over rated, I think I've done best drafting 5th overall and have gotten screwed the couple times I drafted first.
2 picks in a row can be an advantage.

Well to be fair they have been quiet on that since covid but it still goes up my ass sideways that we even do any trade with them.

That was the start of the downfall of the values of this country and they (as in we) are reaping what they sowed.
