Whichever way they try to push the ball, the WH is most secured, to break the security going in with such substance is suspicious. Cameras are not taking out from the WH so they should go check who it dropped from  Grin or the visitors tried to play fast one on the securities in WH.

I guarantee if they do come back, all will be forgotten and people will carry on playing there. Their feedback isn't affected. Not even a flag. This forum has had a problem with scam sites for a long time.

If they get back and resolve all the issues that have been complained about them including releasing customer's money, I think that should settle the whole stuff and it will build back confidence and trust but if they don't do that to the fullest satisfaction of complaints then it will not speak positive on them and will discourage bettors playing with them.

.
Will you feel envious? Ok with it? or motivated?


Not at all. I don't have to feel envious or sad. I have to take it that way because I understand gambling is about being lucky to win. Lottery games are strictly luck base even though some people still feel it is manipulated by government officials who are assigned to handle it. People believe those who win lotteries are from the families of those who manage it or there friends.

So I will still feel cool and not motivated. I could go on playing with the pace that I am playing with and wait for my luck

I have not used Bounty Board so I am not used to the bounty hunt. But question be sae if Bounty Hunting is not something that people will not take you serious, why people still dey do am, though you said , it is not a bad thing but the reputation of the person nai e no go dey like other forum users. Knowledge is needed in all areas and not only on bounty Huntinng but also other boards in the forum. When the person post out  of point from the main thread then moderators use to delete such posts.

The thing wey make that bounty side be say no competition for that side like e be for this bitcoin side which is the foundation of this forum. That bounty side too full of scam and some managers no send self na to collect their own pepper from developers or the team wey bring the project and whether the project exit without paying bounty hunter no be their concern. Back then self some team go use their hand run bounty after you do their work finish dem go waka, so that place no be serious minded people dey there and there knowledge on top btc dey low.

Well if you never experienced wetin I dey talk e mean say your old man hold money scatter because na only them wey no fit experience am. People wey their old man no hold money understand wetin I dey talk because e dey very frustrating to see say as woman them come carry ur mantle of leadership give ur junior 6sta or brodas onto say your face no show and ur shoe no shine for the house.


Wetin we go understand be say parenting na big work itself. Parents suppose to balance things wey no balance to the level wey them fit. No be until parents hold scatter be the thing and no be just because one child hold and the other no hold be the the wey dey make their eyes or love shift enter for one person side, parents na human being so just like you go see someone and get natural likeness for the person side, na so kwa wey parents go take like one wey be say even if that one no dey do well, dem go dey pray or dey wish say na that one wey dem love inside their inner mind get dat pepper. Abi you never also see where na you hold cash and dey do things but dem still dey carry glory give another child. This life no balance my brother that's why I been say parents go try balance things. Although we all understand the power of money and wetin money fit do, the family matter dey everywhere but some worse though.

Notably this inefficiency may be traced down to the structures left behind as a  result of colonialism which is not an African concept.
  

It shouldn't matter anymore if those concepts are African's or not what matters is how Africa has been able to move away from those concepts they met. To a larger extent Africa has not done much to move out and present to the world the natural sweet flavour from Africa. If you looking at other third world countries, they are now in strong competition with technological countries because they have got the purpose of leadership. Ghana got independence in 1957, Nigeria in 1960 , these countries are 67 and 63 years old respectively but they have not done much for themselves. Malaysia had independence in 1957 and Singapore in 1965 but you can't compare both economics in terms of export and exportation speaks volume about where the country is moving its economy to.

I found the first two posts to both be thought provoking, thank you. I was raised very religious with church & church school every Sunday.

This is kind of funny to know. You asked a question so you don't expect response that you want to hear  Grin. The forum is filled with people of diverse religion, opinions and different in every other thing you can think of are viewed in different ways. So take it cool, you will see people responding the way you want it. Religion is the shaping value for the way people reason just like you were brought up in church and Christian way, of course heaven is real and Christians want to spend eternity in heaven but some Christians too don't believe that so open your mind but hold on to what you believe.
2528  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is justice really blind? on: July 11, 2023, 01:22:39 PM

Double Jeopardy is a legal concept that states that a criminal defendant can not face persecution for the same offense. But the concept of double jeopardy has some exemptions and is interpreted differently in most countries. The accused can be tried twice if the crime was committed in different states and or the case is brought before another court that is higher or different from the one that gave the first judgment.

I think what analysis you are making about double jeopardy and the facts plus the jurisdiction of the crime is totally different. If you kill different people at different times of course you can be prosecuted for them after you have served a jail term for one and you commit the act of another person. But in the instant analogy of the op as represented in his post, he is referring to one and only person whom the accuse was sentenced and served a jail term. I believe if the offender goes to another state, he won't be tried for that same person he killed initially since he has been punished in the first place or first court.
2529  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: TOPIC MOVEMENT WETYIN DEY SUP..? on: July 11, 2023, 12:45:05 PM
I know believe say that issue of duplicate posting na only here wey e happen. The thing be say we suppose know say something dey wrong for forum network then, wey make that thing dey happen because people no dey sure say deir post dey delivered but na commonsense to know how to go about it.

The thing na to dey patient and go back to recheck for your message whether you go see am for there, make we dey patient in certain things make we no bring our throat out by ourselves.

And incase we see duplicate messages there, na to delete them and leave one instead of leaving everything there. As a full member we should know these things at least. For example self, when you send email, you go fit still check if e don go or not if you are in doubt.
2530  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Misuse of Bitcoin by the Nigerian Government on: July 11, 2023, 11:11:46 AM

Another worry be say corruption full our anti graft agencies, imagine di chairman of EFCC being  detained for di crimes wey dem de fight, and dis no be di first time wey dem de arrest di head of di criminal agency. So if di heads de corrupt, wetin go happen to di entire body? My opinion be say if dem catch and prosecute any criminal, make dem make sure say di full weight of di law go apply for di punishment. No be say tomorrow we go see say nothing happen to di person, and e go give upcoming corrupt officials di morale to steal plenty money, bribe dem way out of punishment and walk free.

Na better water wey you still pure on top the conversation wey dey go on here. Regards to the full weight of the law, hmmm me I never know whether Nigeria don reach dat level to follow the law to the fullest oo. We don see many politicians wey been dey serve for prison wey dem later release becos one God father dey one place dey press button for him head. The efcc chaimo and Emefiele own go still die like that. We need institutions wey dey independent of government then we fit dey get things right.
2531  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: PROMOTING GENOTYPE AWARENESS:PROTECTING FUTURE GENERATIONS FROM SICKLE CELL on: July 11, 2023, 09:53:44 AM

Ignorance in the sense that many parents know nothing about genotype and as such, get married to each other and just start producing children.

This na one important point, ignorance and some no even send. Those people wey dey do backyard runs wey go just dey sleep around at any hidden opportunity for dark places because dem want to prove smartness fall in this category as dem no even get time for protection both boy and the girl, as we know birds of same feathers dey fly together. So before you know am belle don enter and some don enter marriage like that even deir parents no go send to investigate certain stuff.



Stubbornness/Selfishness in the sense that some of these parents know fully well that they ain’t compatible, yet they go ahead to get married and produce children all in the name of love or with the religion mindset that a miracle will happen and the genotype of their children will miraculously change.


This na another good point. Love with the hope say things like genotype go miraculous change based on the stories wey dem don hear. I no talk say miracle no dey because miracle no dey tire Jesus but we also need to help ourselves as human beings and if God add hand for us e go become grace.

Really, na now some of us don begin know say those days wey dem go born pikin wetin few years of birth the pikin don die and dem born another one the same thing go happen dem go come say na mamiwater pikin, abiku, ogbanje etc, hmmm na genotype issue the thing go be oo.

But I believe say the awareness don dey high now about the medical compatibility of spouces on like before because the rate of sickle cell (SS) people wey I dey see around don really reduce.
2532  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: I don reach the final decision on: July 11, 2023, 07:56:13 AM
OP, I am very happy on this decision of yours to put a stop on bounty and face the important purpose why the forum was created. Bounty is like you are chasing peanuts when you can just be patient to build up your account and yourself in the forum. From my own view,I can see that you only have ten merits...if you can abandon your account and register a new one to start learning with. This will be better because I guess that your account has been noticed by reputable and generous merit givers in the forum,this might slow your quick growth in the forum. Like you said,you have been here for a while a would be able to earn for merit easily if you register a new account. Just my own suggestion.

E no even matter say OP dey run bounty package, if him still dey put eyes for the main thing which for bitcoin yarns and make good contributions to the forum, him go still collect but if him no still feel comfortable as those bounty stuff dey him account, make him delete them but no be to go open new account because of that.

You fit delete those bounty stuff if bounty no dey help you. I know say for now nothing dey inside doing bounty now except those wey dey pay with usdt or listed coins wey dey come once in a while. However, e go pay you more if you leave bounty area.
2533  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The danger of gender inequality on: July 10, 2023, 09:42:55 PM

The CMD was only comfortable with the male applicants and has no need for interview the female applicants when he has already seen the best qualities in the male applicants...


I think that is not how interview work. The interviewer looks biase in the attitude going by op post. He won't have to look down on the lady with the excuse of having gotten what he wanted from the male counterparts and only person interviewed according to you. I think the lady was not fairly treated, she was embarrassed and insulted in that act by the interviewer.
2534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: July 10, 2023, 09:11:36 PM

I have seen a lot of people who tried to use gambling as their source of income, some of them even had pretty big bankrolls, but at the end of the day, none of them succeeded and they lost everything they had eventually and started looking for other ways to earn money.

It is a mistake to have a big bankroll and only focus on gambling. The best would have been to diversify into other businesses whether online or offline because only a source of income doesn't give financial stability. In gambling, the tendency to keep playing after you lose the first time is very high because you want to regain what you have lost and if you start the chase you won't want to stop half way because you have already committed part of your bankroll on the chase as you keep losing. So it is quite tempting with big bankroll, if not careful, all will be used up with out winning.
2535  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which Crypto coin Do You Gamble with the Most? on: July 10, 2023, 08:38:04 PM
Mostly, I use Bitcoin or USDT and sometimes I also use LTC because they have low transaction fees. It depends on what I have available at the moment. Additionally, it has been quite a while since I last used fiat for gambling. I prefer to gamble using my crypto as it's also quite easy to do. Whether I gamble with a stable coin or not doesn't matter to me, as long as I'm making a profit.

I don't feel the need to keep track of my losses and wins ratio because lately, I gamble purely for fun and I don't invest a lot of money into it.

we have the same approach here. whatever is available in my account, but mostly btc, that i use for my gambling. since i know how much i should spend for each session, i know how much btc i can use to gamble. if i know that i am going beyond the limit, i stop before i spend more than what i allocated for that moment.

I prefer to use the most popular cryptocurrency which is bitcoin. Maybe the reason is I'm already use to it in almost out of the other coins. Casinos never miss to add it to their payment system both deposit and withdrawal. Regards to stablecoin, I use usdt and for this, the charge is fixed probably on $1. So playing with these two , I'm comfortable.
2536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Casinos Go Bankrupt Because of Player Wins? on: July 10, 2023, 07:33:41 PM
Seeing it from a higher point of view, yes, a casino when it starts some appeals to capitalize with the money of its players, and that is a practice that seems very reckless to me, because when launching a casino they do not have enough money to endure certain losses, and as there are always whales that enter and play with a large amount of money, because sometimes there can be some cases where you can't do more, so there are many casinos that here in the forum appeal to that, they do badly but they don't declare bankruptcy, but they insist and then start with the withdrawal problems.


All these withdrawal problems and casinos going bankrupt can be checked if only bettors research on reputable casinos that have stayed a long time. Those that have license also is important because they would have gone through a registration requirements were there start up capital would have been investigated to see how much they can carry but before a casino goes down there are signs you could notice especially if there are series of backlog of awaiting withdrawal. Again, someone need to be careful with new casinos since they are barely starting, they might have nothing to lose if they don't pay big wins .
2537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How real?That football players required to bribe before they are allowed to play on: July 10, 2023, 06:33:05 PM
Those who were trying to collect bribe from the father did not miss him at all because theirs is not the skills but the money.

They won't be sorry for their action because for them, it is not to select those who have passion for the game but those who are willing to bribe their way into the team. Those FA members who do this perhaps have been trading football spots to others and they will keep doing that till that. This is why some players get rejected for being over aged. Just recently, it is in the news that Samuel Eto (Cameroonian FA president) Mirror is requesting the proper age for his players and 21 out of 30 players were found to be overaged

2538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do 90% of Bettors Lose in Sports Betting in the Long-term? on: July 10, 2023, 03:54:07 PM

It is true that most gamblers who like to bet on their sports do not have extensive knowledge of the sport at stake and some gamblers are only fixated on the odds of the betting options.
Actually this provides a bigger risk but unfortunately no one cares about that and only thinks about the chances of winning.


Yeah sometimes bettors are forced to want to take the bull by its horn when they have consistently lost their bet especially with ridiculously lower odds. This is the reason that they throw in all to want to go for the big odds with minding the losing rate but only envisage how much they would win if the game turns into their favour. This is understandable if you have been or met a serial loser. However because gambling is a game of chance, people could also get lucky to win such big odds but it is better to play cool with the emotions to take a proper gambling decision based on analysis, checking prediction sites and compare other games played by other bettors.
2539  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How real?That football players required to bribe before they are allowed to play on: July 10, 2023, 02:53:25 PM

There will be no bribery if the official won't accept bribes. But unfortunately, some are accepting such bribe because of greed.

The giver and taker of bribe is guilty of the offence. I think the laws should be implemented because that it is people will fear. When laws are implemented to the full, people's greed will reduce because when you remember how many years that you will stay in jail then to commit the crime will be discouraged. I believe every person has the greed tendency but either fear of shame when caught depending or the family background (that is ability to have self control) or the fear of punishment that will scare people from such.
2540  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: would you play more on casino when your country plans to ban BTC? on: July 10, 2023, 02:13:50 PM
Personally, it will change nothing because I have been gambling casually through online and land casino (depends on my mood) even before I met bitcoin. It's just that cryptocurrency gave me a whole lot of options when I'm betting towards online casinos, especially during Covid-19 as I have no other things to do at that time aside from my job that changed to a "work from home setting". So, if my government will ban btc, I will always go back to the use of fiat.
anyway all of that will never happen even though we don't know what will happen in the future but we always have the choice to still be able to gamble even though using fiat. almost everyone here, of course, before gambling at crypto casinos, they have already gambled at physical casinos or land casinos, so even if crypto is banned in a country, it can never limit them from stopping gambling because there are always ways to be able to gamble.

It won't be a problem for gambling or the gamblers where the government has ban cryptocurrency. Casinos have options of playing with fiat or crypto so if the option for crypto betting is stopped, you continue using your fiat to gamble. So they are different and one doesn't stop the other. If the government decides to stop cryptocurrency, then the use of fiat can serve just like offline casinos that use fiat in gambling.
